C., Global— We’re hitting our typewriter a la Joe Louis style this week in the nation’s capitol. We’ve been told a change of scenery will aid even a sports writer. Mrs. Max - i well’s sports conscious son will i evidently try anything once so here we are on the banks of the Potomac thinking, eating and wri ting sport features. Now for the weekly looksee at the streamlined sports spere. Methinks it would be a wise move on the part of the Negro j National and American Baseball J I League moguls to attempt to sign ' players now before various inter ests south of the border commence baiting the players with govern ment lettuce. It is much better j to lock the barn before the horse ] is stolen Mr. Baseball Mogul. Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis may ! he the fair-haired gridders at j West Point, N. Y. and points north. I east, south and west. However, i the GI Joes at Fort Belvoir, Va.. would not part with their sepia star one Calvin Martin for a hun dred Blanchards, Davises, or Lu jacks. Martin, a former Indiana University gridder weighing 185 pounds is emulating Red Grange at the army camp. To date he has handled to ball enough times to gain 977 yards. In one tilt Martin took the ball eight times and he crossed the goal lines six times. That is really carrying a ball. ’Tis phenomenal we believe when one realizes that Lqvi Jackson, Yale's great Negro fullback plays with his left arm straped to his side as a result of a shoulder injury. The injury doesn’t appear to bo ther the New Haven, Connecticut huskie who serves as his own Me , dico. Hampton’s football team is en joying a fine season. The Pirates feature two fine halfbacks in Bill Lovett and Tom Casey, while James ‘Rowboat' Brown resembles ; Horatio at the bridge in the for I ward wall. A recent article by my good friend Joe Williams, sports writer for the N. Y. World Tele gram carried the amusing news that Benny Leonard, former lite weight champion believes some unknown will dethrone Joe Louis. We will agree that each human is entitled to his opinion at least in the land of stars and stripes. However we can’t help but believe that Leonard’s statement is just so much wishful thinking UNLESS Joe Louis gets hogfat. careless and becomes tired of busting beaks No Mr. Leonard it will take a topflight boxer who can outstep, outhit and outbox Louis to whip him. To date we’ve not seen him in action nor has anyone else. Current Louis opponets simply step into the ring with a prayer hoping for a stroke of luck and praying too that the Louis kayo punch won’t paralyze ’em for life. Ask anyone that Louis has ever chilled and he will tell you, if he’s honest that it’s a peculiar feeling. You’re never the same afterwards.

Now they’re giving Beau Jack the cold shoulder ’cause he insists on shining shoes between bouts. As long as the Georgia battler behaves himself, lives and let live he’s o. k. in our book. The basketbball season is with us and the quintets are looking forward to a busy season on the hardwood especially in New York, Brooklyn Philadelphia and Baltimore. .You can search the entire sports world and you’ll not find a better set shot in basketball than ole Pop Gates of the Rennaisance quintet. Gates like rare wine, grows better with age. .That just about does it for this week fans. We wonder what Mr. Big in college football will bite the dust this week? LIFE AT A GLANCE By David Bethe Just as I predicted many months ago President Truman will have a somewhat Conservative Con gress to deal with the remainder of his term in office.. How well he will make out remains to be seen. But one thing is certain he will not be able to veer much to the left side. . If anything he may be forced a little to the right. Now that the election has pass ed many observers of course may be inclined to believe there is a strong Republican trend sweeping the country. If so it won’t be of the old Guard type of conserva tion .. If all of Congress were to be controlled by Republicans there wouldn’t be any logical reason to expect any return of the glorious pre-depression days. Oddly enough, one might pre sume the policies of the New Deal are passing into oblivion. That is purely wistful thinking on the surface, without the least bit of realistic history. .Remember 1929 well. Wall Street crashed, or bet ter say the economy crashed. The country without the greatest re sources, the wealthiest and most highly industrialized in the world could not find means to utilize these precious assets. .The result we had a depression and what a time—No one wishes to think of those fateful days. But there is a note of good cheer when you think of the late Frankin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal. Under his extreme social legislation the country was rest ored to a simblance of normalcy and everybody was happy. All ex cept Wall Street, and it was hap py until Roosevelt hit the money changers. Yes Sir. big business grew very angry and critized the Ned Deal as being beauracratic. But des pite this criticism, President Roose velt was elected four times. His being elected four times simply meant that he had pleased the masses, and gave them a sense of security. Times have changed considera bly. We fought a bloody war on two fronts and came out victori ously, and had numerous prolong ed strikes and people have grown pretty weary of shortages of food and high prices and ceilings. But they are not so weary they” stand for another depression and if the Republicans hope to retain the sense of security which Roose velt instilled in Ms followers, they had better get on the liberal side of our economy and start think ing progressively about the fu ture of America. Of course, after all is said and done, it might be a good thing if some of those southern legislators were replaced by some liberal thinking Republicans, .men like Irvin M .Ives from New York won’t be bad for that southern anti-Negro block. Maybe we can feel a little more optimistic about the passing of the Anti-Lynching Bill, killing of the Poll Tax and restoring the FEPC. .The south might not take such liberties with the Federal rights of Negroes.. lynching them, and blinding them and getting away with it just in the case of Lynwood L. Shull who Minded Isaac Woodard and was freed of the charges by lily-white federal jurists. The Republicans have the best chance since the days of Lincoln to capture the Negro vote..Now' don't misunderstand me—the Ne gro has grown up since the Re publicans last held sway in the halls of Congress. . in other words seing is believing. Of course, my guess is, the De mocrats missed the bus when they clamped ceiling prices on meat after lifting them last summer., and to confuse things; lifted them too late to hoodwink the public big business being very astute at taking advantage of a weak sit uation executed a smart play. They quickly started the hogs and cows and sheep flowing into the slaughter houses. .Yes sir, and when John Q. Public and his wife went to vote he had no fear of not finding a good' steak or stew when he returned home. .That’s right; big business surely played its cards right. Let us hope they play the right trump, when Bilbo starts his filibuster when the Anti Lynching Bill comes up. . WHAT BANDS ARE DOING LOS ANGELES—Count Basie, who holds forth with his orch. on stage of the Million Dollar Thea tre here through Monday, Nov 17 will play 29 straight one-niters in California, Washington, Oregon. British Columbia and Arizona be fore returning to Los Angeles on Dec 10 to open a four week stand at the famous Avodon Ballroom. During the Basie engagement at the Avodon, first appearance by a Negro band at this popular down town dance rendezvous, the Count and his incomparable jump rhy thms will be carried on the air waves nightly via a coast-to-coast American Broadcasting Company hookup. Newest sensation of west coast swing fans is the Count’s tenor saxophone discovery, young Paul Gonsolves, who is being hailed by music critics as the “finest tenor man who has ever blown a horn in the Basie Band” which is suf ficient recommendation for any musician. LOS ANGELES—Winding up a record-breaking three week stand at the Club Alabam here, singing maestro Billy Eckstine and his band have departed the west coast to embark upon a cross-country theatre and ballroom tour will carry the Eckstine crew into east ern territory early next month.

Rain Fails To Dampen Homecoming Spirit JEFFERSON CITY, Mo—Play ing on a rain swept gridiron Nov. 2 the Lincoln University Tigers were unable to break an old Home coming jinx and fought the Green Wave of Wilberforce University to a 0-0 stalemate in a sea of mud at the Public School stadium. A crowd of about 1200 home comers watched both teams slip and slide all over /the turf. Fum bles and blocked kicks were nu merous, with the game develop ing into a kicking duel and both teams relying upon the breaks to produce the winning score. The kicking of Freddie Hall and Ed Tipton, Wilberforce backs, and Pete Saunders, William Sims, and George Holt, Tiger backs, was re markable, considering the condi tions. Time and again they pun ted their teams out of precari ous positions with powerful kicks of the waterlooged pigsKin. The outstanding run of the day was a 25 yard dash off tackle by quarterback Saunders. Back in a punt formation Saunders tucked tiie ball under his arm and gall oped from his own 26 to the Wil berforce 39 where he was tack led by the Wave safety man the only obstacle between him and the goal line. There were only six first downs made during the game, four by the Tigers and two by the Green Wave. —Rond YOllR /Votes paper THE OMAHA GUIDE I ' ■ ■ Send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to this paper and receive com ; plete instructions on how to make this apron at home.
