ARC YOU JUST A

Nature may endow you with
breathtaking beauty, a lovely
curvaceous figure. She may be
stow gifts on you that make you
a brilliant actress, a leader in
your class at college, sought

Something You Should
Not Joke About!
So if female functional monthly

suffer from pain, nervous dis

cranky and irritable that you
almost turn into a ‘she-devil'—
on such days—this is something

relieve such symptoms. It’s fa

this cause. Taken regularly

T'“ SPORTSCOPE
By Jocko Maxwell
WASHINGTON, D. 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

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.

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. .

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.
