Against Brown university last Saturday he figured in every scoring play Ole Eli made. His brilliant 73 yard touchdown jaunt one of his three six pointers was a lulu. Another colored American youngster who is clicking, is Fred" dy Burgess, the former Morgan college star. Burgess his pay dirt for N. Y. U. as the Violets upset a favored Lehigh university team 13 to 3. Replaying the Army-Notre Dame game is an interesting pas time these days. Both teams were at their best on the defnsive side but really ‘froze’ when scoring op ortunities popped. ' We believe that the excellent scoring job per formed by the two clubs, of course '•’.ere ' ere none—, ha ha, can be credited to the brilliant tacks performed by the scouts. They didn't miss a thi ig. We believe they knew what the opposition's stars had for breakfast, dinner nd supper. Indeed scouting is one,, vital factor in football these days, In our book expert scouting mak j for a caiload of upsets. Per aos that’s the reason that only Georgia and UCLA are as we vrite this pillar the only two un defeated teams in the nation. Um ■ust look at the scoreboard and ve note that UCLA is in a score | less tie with Oregon. .What next? Jersey Joe Walcott, the N. J. Cinderella man didn’t quite come up to par when he met the hard hitting Florida gentleman, Elmer 'Violent” Ray in a 10 round bout at the Madison Souare Garden. It was a close combat. SPORT NOTES Ray Robinson certainly is tak ing chances in battling top-flight middleweights these days. The Le vine bout we believe was a bad one If Sugar Ray can’t find suit able opposition in the welter weight class he should hang up his gloves. The bigger boys will wear him out and lest we forget Ray Robinson isn't getting any vounger. .Three cheers for Doug las Hertz the congenial Gotham sportspromoter who bankrolled the inter-racial football game at the Polo Grounds last Monday.. 1 Eddie Hurt’s Morgan college po werhouse appears to gain momen tum each week.

"No”—claim medical authorities, who ought to know! Nature has so constructed and physi cally endowed woman that in many cases she's apt to suffer certain distressing symptoms . during her life. For instance, when she enters V womanhood—or during the menopause, the period when fertility ebbs away. Now if on 'certain days’ of the month—fe male functional monthly disturbances are causing you to suffer from pain, nervous dis tress and feel so tired, cranky, you snap at Lyour children and husband—then do try Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to relieve such symptoms. It's ]amous for this purpose. Made ESPECIALLY For Girls and Women Pinkham’s Compound does more than relieve such monthly pain. It also relieves accom panying nervous tension, irritability and weak, highstrung feelings—when due to this cause. Taken regularly thruout the month—this great medicine helps build up resistance against such distress. A thing any sensible woman should want to do! Lydia Pinkham’s Compound is also very effective to relieve hot flashes and those funny, embarrassing feelings during the years 38 to 52_when due to the functional ‘middle-age’ period peculiar to women. Pinkham's Compound is worth trying! \d C.

We feel it will ! create higher scoring games. How they score is what interests the basketball fans. . .We wonder if Sonny Jamieson, City college of N. Y. basketeer is due for another great season. His work in last season’s NYU tilt is a feat we’ll never forget. He was a great play maker that night. Gotta sign off now fans and corail a pasteboard for the 1947 Army-Notre Dame game. 'The early bird gets the worm. r i Lake Street I BOWLING I = s Alley News i i By Mildred Martin The time has come once again to visit that happy litle spot on Lake Street, where there is al ways plenty of fun and excite ment. The motto is “See no evil; speak no evil and hear no evil” as you bowl your cares away. You know that’s why bowling is tak ing its place as the top sport be cause no mater what gets on your mind or how bad the world treats you, you can always take it out on those ten little pins. If you’re mad at your wife, neighbor or whoever it chances to be; just step up to the Lanes and choose your ball and bowl always pretending the pin is the one that’s spiting you, and you’d be surprised how quick your anger leaves and the sun ap pears once more. So that takes us again to the famous balls of the week. James Srpith of the Junior Hellcats has purchased his ball and has decid ed to call her 'Lena, The Hyena'. Why? Because she scares him the way she takes off down the alley. Roscoe Knight the manager also has a very popular ball known as ‘The Spitfire’. If you wonder why a name like that, ask him on your next trip to visit the alleys. We’ll let that conclude our balls for the week as we find out about our League nights. Tuesday, opening nite found the Bacchanites tangling with the Lef ties who won two the Bacchanites one. Wednesday was the Elks vs. the Lakestreet Wonders. The Elks taking two; the Wonders one. On Thursday the Lions against the Trojans. The Lions winning two; the Trojans one. Sunday the Tro jans against the Junior Hellcats the Trojans taking three straight. Seems as if the women were left out on prizes for the week since not one woman bowled a score of 150. Earl Jones however, decided the men should be in the running and he came in with top score of 217 for the week. For his trouble, he received a case of 7 Up. So you see the prizes are get ting better each week. The crowd is getting thicker, so join the big throng and abide by the motto: ‘Bowl your cares away’. So long until next week. City Recreation News A new beginner’s Tap Class on Thursday at 3:30 p. m. has just been formed. Any child between the ages of 6-13 is welcome to join.

NEW YORK—Fifty foreign coun tries, meeting here in the United Nations General Assembly, cause no more civic commotion than attends the sessions of the City Council in Kokomo, Ind. Perhaps it’s because the little peo ple of the world’s nations have been here all along; you can find genera tions of them listed in the telephone book, settled residents. The General Assembly only makes it official that this is the Capital of the World. Midland critics are quite right— New York is NOT America. It’s never been, from the day the Indians sold it to the Dutch for $24. Ameri cans are, as they’ve always been, drawn to it by rewards of fame and fortune like flies to sugar. And, like flies, they get entangled, and stuck. Because it is the veritable treas ure trove of modem times, today’s center of art and culture. New York is a thrilling place for Americans to visit, as once they visited Paris and Rome. Meantime, on 5th Ave.. you jostle over turbans and togas, the head men of Czechs. Ukrainians, Peruvi ans and Poles. New York absorbs and forgets them. Eioxiiifcif MONDAY 8:30P.M.
