PART 1—PAGE 2 GARVEY AID AND AUTHOR PASSES AWAY Hubert H. Harris Dies in New York Hubert H. Harris Dies in New York --- (Photo On Picture Page) New York City, Dec. 23.—The brilliant career of Hubert H. Harrison, lecturer and author, which began 44 years ago, brought the Virgin Islands, came to a sudden end last Saturday night at the Bellevue and Allied hospital following an operation for appendicitis. For nearly a score of years, Dr. Harrison used picturesque ligature in Harlem. It helped her bedorah how night after night, when the weather would permit, hundreds and hundreds of persons would crowd around the soap box on which he would sit, to the face of the Race to seek economic freedom. Recruited By Garvey Because of his gift of speech, Dr. Harrison was recruited by Marcus Burger, a professor of Universal improvement association. He was commissioner of education for the organization and editor of The Carver movement. The organist was naturally interested in every few works of any consequence that he has not read. As a matter of fact, Dr. Harrison would he read or write all day and half of the night without stopping to eat a meal. Dr. Harrison has been a regular book reviewer for leading metropolitan dailies and magazines. He has published in The Lecture, a weekly publication owned by the Lecturer, caused a great deal of discussion and con- Entera New York at 17 Besides writing for leading newspapers, Dr. Harrison continues to be an assistant editor under Piet Vlag in 1912; Truth Seeker and the New York Harrison was a member of the Negro Literary and Historical society and Colored League, being presided at one time. The lecturer is survived by a wife, Irene Horton Harrison, and five children, Alice, Ilva, William and May. Conceal Nationality of Los Angeles Murderer While the whole country is shocked by the brutal kildnaping and murder of a little girl a few days ago, out of police department with the outraged citizenry are engaged in the greatest man hunt in the history of the state. The police looked. The nationality of the killer has not been given. The public is at a loss to know whether the perpetrator of one of the killings was affiliated, in a Mexican, a Japanese, an Italian, or what not? "Go to it boys. I hope you get that fend!" was the advice the suspect gave to the police, the found him in bed when they searched the Bellevue Arms apartment, following a clue. This novice move made the nineteen-year-old youth to get away. Had this "fend" been of dark skin, how different the whole affair would have been? The country would have used his color to infiltrate the smoldering hatred with glaring headlines. A Nexro officer and a police officer freed people would have been secretly or publicly indicted, according to location, but indicted, however, no matter where the killers would have followed. This cowardly brute, has no reason to fear drastic action. He will be tried according to the law. He will be full rights as an American citizen. Fisk U Students to Attend Conferences Nashville, Tenn.

Ask Mayor Thompson to Aid in Health Campaign (Photo on Picture Page) A delegation of 27 citizens, representing nearly as many organization members as the 26 Hale Thompson Tuesday afternoon in his suite at the Sherman hotel to bring to his attention the deplorable conditions responsible for the recent death of Hale Thompson by the department of health in its survey. In petitions signed by more than 500 persons Mayor Thompson and the executive in seeing that health conditions are remedied. Bishop A. J. Carey, civil service commissioner, assisted commerce commissioner, acted as spokesman for the body. Bishop Carey, in introducing it, made up of the executive board of the Cook County Physicians' association, said: "Mr. Mayor. You have before you one of the most representative bodies in the city. It is made up of the most sincere and forward-looking citizens of Chicago." Dr. Roberts then read the following petition: The Petition Toula Hose William Hale Thompson Mayor of the City of Chicago Greetings: Whereas, We, the undersigned members of the Cook County Phy. Society of the City of Chicago, the city of Chicago, the county of Chicago, having been informed of the excessive violence the Colored people, as published in a recent survey made by the department of health and the Society, have investigated that there are approximately 962 white patients, as contrasted with 45 Colored patients, undergoing treatment in the city, a proportion entirely out of keeping with the effective remedying of the serious situation so forcefully emphasized by the department of health. Whereas, The high death rate among this group helps to increase the mortality rate of the entire city, and if not decreased may cause Chicago to lose its prestige as the healthiest large city in the world. Resolved. That in view of the foregoing facts we respectfully please Hale Thompson, to appoint a physician of the Colored people as an assistant to the health commissioner, to a study of and remedy the above conditions; and be it further Resolved. That on all matters pertaining to the health commissioner, people residing in these communities the authorized representatives of the Cook County Physicians association, and that invent the release for publication of data that might result in a social and economic loss to the community in conducting surveys or appointing to positions in the department of public health affecting our community, the Cook County Physicians' association be consulted. We are reliably informed that successful attempts at segregation of school children along racial lines are said to have been made and principals of schools and did to have aided and abetted by The Petition certain members of the board of education; and Whereas, such practices are unlawful of Illinois and are un-American, undemocratic and will, if continued, affect the present high standing in which the Colored citizens of Chicago be throughout the country; be it further. Resolved, That we respectfully petition the Hon. William Hale Thompson, mayor of the city of Chicago, to be a member of his Colored constituency to the board of education. Whereas, A committee of the Chicago Medical society, composed of William Hale, R. B. Ferguson, R. F. Morton, M. L. Harris, Jeremiah H. Walsh and William Allen Pusey, was made a secretary of the hospital situation in Chicago, as published in the May, 1927, issue of the Illinois Medical Record, and has arrived at the pressing need for more hospital beds in Chicago, especially on the far South side; and Whereas, In this study the committee of the city or county maintained hospitals in outlying parts of the city; and Whereas, We, the members of the Cook County "Physicians" association, cause of the death of many patients while en route to County hospital from the South side, and we, the members of the Chicago "Physicians" association and physicians practicing on the South side, are in heart accord with the published report of the Medical society, be it further. Resolved. That we respectfully petition the mayor, play a role, and use his influence in securing for the South side our countryside, in the tuition that shall be open to all physicians, nurses and patients, without regard to race, creed or Blames Former Mayor Mayor Thompson in his reply said he cited in the petition and appealed to his hearers to place the blame for them on the previous administration, Chelmatt, Ohio, Dec. 23—George B.

Not only are some porters required to work 400 and more hours a month, but they are severely penalized if they are caught napping, although a human machine can harden their sleep at times. All other railway employees receive time and a half for all time over 240 hours work. We have to note that they are compelled to do preparatory duty, consisting of some training, however, all of this will change. Change in Agreements Perhaps the most fundamental change of policy of the Pullman company is the signing agreements. The old employee's plan or company union has created more unrest than it piles. It inflicts more injustice upon the porters than it removes. It leaves the porters unhappy, the men, because the porters have no control over the plan. It is the porters' responsibility, the company, it keeps down wages and makes conditions worse. It makes agreements with BUT FOR THE mails. The army of Pullman porter instructors and welfare workers is an unnecessary memento to the Pullman company, which is aware of the fact that the parasites render no useful servicing company in the performance of the kind of work they do. It is not worth the effort to retain them in the performance of the kind of work they do. Any efficiency engineer will advise the company thusly. The brotherhood offers a higher and more efficient program which will reflect itself in higher production standards for the company. It offers an intelligence system which cannot be created under the present system by the company. It is the self-central of the brotherhood. New Economy Plan It is nipparent to the casual objection that the company company that makes the brushes aroused public opinion are driving it to raise the wages of the porters and the brushes seen in the company's retrenchments. It is reducing the supply of matches on the cars. It has taken out cus-tories and brushes. Even the proverbial whip-broom is vanishing. Berths are only inside when passengers board the train and brushes. Towels are scarcer. What does it all mean? Just this. The company is in charge of course, it will naturally fight to hold our as long as possible, but it must and will give in. It is the verdict of notice and the decree of public opinion. Extra Portera Starving There must be a new policy, too, in the hiring of porters. There are too many extra men. Too many porters are being hired, and there is a surging to death. This is done to frighten the porters away from the brotherhood. Men are lured from the South for porters jobs they own over the border to a living. The brotherhood offers constructive co-operation to the company. Its watchword is efficiency, honesty, nobility, discipline, integrity, industry. It is a cloak for the bad porter, but a protection for the good porter. Four Major Committees Washington, D. C., Dec. 23—Senator Charles S. Deneen of Illinois is being placed on four of the most important committees and given the chairmanship of one which carries the responsibility to an office in the capital building. Because Senator Deneen is the lone representative from Illinois as a reason for his appointment, the office of Senator-elect Frank L. Smith, perhaps is the reason that this unusual consideration was granted. In his present office in Chicago, in his present office for three years. The senator from Illinois will act on the finance committee, concerned with the budget, the judicial, the legal committees on senate; privileges and elections, dealing with questions of membership in the legislature and the manufactures committee. DUCK SHOOTING RECORD Penn, Ill. Dec. 16.—What is probably a world's record that made a duck who killed 12 ducks with one shot white on a hunting trip.

Boy Bandits Peril Lives of So.Siders (Continued from Page 1) the gangsters has prevailed for two years, and they have been involved into the school where new recruits are gathered from time to time. The minds of decent boys who are already in school are being torpeduced by the gangs, and the gangs, many of the teachers assert. Leader Is Lawyer's Son One of the gang leaders is said to be the son of a Chicago attorney with a little political influence. This son was a seventh grade pupil of the Forrestville school. He is reported to have quite a police record. He was an assistant police officer and a police punkler who was found slain in a basement a year ago. On Dec. 18, 1922, this boy was sent to a police station where he lived next day through the political influence exerted by his father, according to records on file at Forrestville. The situation is more serious than one can imagine, school authorities assert. It is now a community problem that the police are trying to catch in the ordinary way for they are master criminals and must be dealt with as such. This is the case with the police who are cognizant of the situation. Not only is the Forrestville school affected by this lawless gang rule, thatoodtille, Willard, Coleman and other schools on the South side. Those schools which escape are no longer in the jurisdiction, the majority of residents are white. Convictons Difficult Even if some of the gangsters are arrested for, their crimes, it will be difficult to get a conviction first because witnesses are afraid to testify against them in court, and second, because of political pull usually exerted by their parents to have them freed. It was suggested at Wednesday's meeting that a committee wait on Chief of Police Hughes and Chief Justice Olson of the municipal court and invoke their aid in the fight now being waged against the South side's young gangland. Adolph Sims promised to arrange an appointment with Chief Hughes and Judge Olson. Miss Sykes, principal of Forrestville school, is asking the cooperation of all the parent-teachers associations in this light to down gangland. Young school girls are not even safe, it was declared. These gangsters are said to lotter around the school buildings and after hours take girls to certain apartments in the community where they are permitted to spend hours drinking and dancing. Lack of proper home training is blamed for the spread of young gangland. Perennis are too careless and indifferent with their children, it was pointed out. The boy especially is permitted to rear himself and he runs wild in the streets. Los Angeles, Calif., Dec. 23—Shot four times by a groceryman whose store he is alleged to have tried to rob. The 23d St. was taken in the Receiving hospital last Wednesday in a serious condition. Sam Kim (white), who runs a grocery store at the 22nd Sam Kim, was taken to the hospital that he was awakened by the sound of someone moving about. Getting out of bed, he entered the rear of the store and saw each other at the same time and fired their pistols. The burglar started to run and Kim emptied his revolver at him. Later an ambulance was called to the 23d St. where Thomas was found wounded. Savannah Girl Honored Raleigh, N. C. Dec. 23—Miss Cecel Hizard, a popular miss of Savannah, Ga., has joined the positive school, has been unanimously chosen by her classmates and indorsed by the faculty to represent her classmates in the school. The program will be held on the anticipated events of the school term, and the representatives are chosen for their high records in scholarship, deportment and general ability. The program will be held in February and will attract the attention of surrounding schools. The citizens of Raleigh and adoling cities give support to this event each year by a large attendance.

FILE DEMAND TO CHECK UP ON TEACHERS Says Children Given Improper Advice Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 23.—Sensational charges that discrimination is being made against Race children at Central high school and the Rutherford B. Hayes school were voiced last week by Mrs. Lethka Fleming, wife of the charges before Superintendent Itaulah O'Neill. Mrs. Fleming headed a committee from the Cleveland Federation of Colored Women's Club, which laid the charges before Superintendent Itaulah O'Neill. The white teachers of these schools, Mrs. Fleming declared, are actively engaged in discouraging the efforts of our girls to seek education. The charges are allied, are made to do laundry work for the teachers under the guide of domestic science. The school officials informed the pupils that education was not for them but to go home and work. The board of education accepted the committee's charges, insisting that the investigation of the alleged situation. Similar charges were brought before the board of education last year by the parents of school children, insisting that the parents were made against the segregation of pupils in the schools' swimming classes. The city and school officials were on the scene when the matter was side-tracked and allowed to die.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1927 NEW THEATER WILL BLAZON WALKER NAME To Throw Open Doors by Holiday Season InManapolis, Ind. Dec. 23—An Abelemment has been made that the great factory and office building now being completed by the Mime- culture Manufacturing company, will be opened on Monday, Dec. 26. The Walker theater is said to be one of the best and most complete theaters of its kind in the country, regardless of race. It is the last word in arrangement, and the art of old Egypt and surrounding provinces is reflected in the enchant- ment interior decorations. The eye is by rich and beautiful colorings blending and harmonizing in the soft glow nooks especially designed to them. Appaling music from a golden voled pipe organ is but a fitting acc The significant thing about this new home is that every modern convenience known to the theater going public has been provided for in it. One of the unusual features is the ventilation system. All ventilation will come from overhead. A deep well has been sunk with a pump arrangement that permits sprays of cold water, through which fresh air will pass to literally launder the air, leaving in washed, clean, sweet and pure. The theater is heated by a combination of a perfect indirect heating system combined with a ventilating system making it as warm as the South Seas is in winter, while in the summer it will be as cool and delightful as mountain breezes. Smoking room and three dressing rooms for performers, ladies' lounge and large cosmetic room with mirrored walls, and smoking room and lounge for the men are some of the conveniences for the comfort and pleasure of those coming to the theater. in a recent interview, F. B. Hanna, a theater manager at the Walker Manufacturing company, said: "For many years my dream has been of a modern theater with every piece, and now such a theater is a realization. I have made frequent collaborations with our representatives travel in foreign countries, and we know of no housewives, whites and operated for our people that even approaches this theater in equipment and personnel. Our organist of unrestricted ability, an excellent orchestra, and we are now our personnel of about 20 people." Noonday Organ Recitals in Program of Churches Noonday organ reprints free to the public have been suggested as a time to commence service, the church could be reopened by churches. The organist who is only paid to play for special services would gain free access to every day reprints. At the noon hour each day the church doors are open, allowing workers or living in the neighborhood. This plan would serve an incentive to many other girls to volunteer in the church. There is an inherent love of the beautiful in everyone, and the church finances in helping to cultivate it and accordingly raise the standard of our citizens. Programs could be an integral daily through the newspapers. Leaves for West Mr. and Mrs. jesse W.

Gregg, the principal. This year Dr. Gregg discusses the early history of Hampton, the institution of the collegiate course, the students strike and the endowment fund. Dr. Gregg's letter follows: My Dear Friends: When General Armstrong secured from the Virginia general assembly in the authorization of the instruction of youth in the college, he saw to it that the paragraph stating the purpose of the new school institute, the instruction of youth in the college, and collegiate branches, the best methods of teaching the same and the best mode of protected industry in its operations, the instruction of youth in the college, and for the carrying out of these purposes, the establishment of "any departments or schools in the It should be noted that the number of the institute forces that the time was to be held for the teachers and of other community teachers would have to be done upon the collegiate level. Dr. Frissell, in the course of the group of teachers, proposed to be "barry" curriculary and his assistants in 1916 and 1917, doubtless perceived the drawing of the school. After it was not to be done that the moment had arrived for the initiation of collegiate instruction. This is the case of the 1922-year course in 1923. In 1925 a full foreyear course leading to the degree of bachelor of science was authorized by the trustees of the 1923 first-year course in 1925 to receive degree—one in number—were sent out as bachelors of science in aeronautical education.

In this undertaking we count confidently upon the support of the amount of all thought for the New Problems Arise New Problem! Naturalization, the development of the colleague life of the institute has brought new problems. Financial time and patience will be required for working them out. The unfortunate strike of students in the institute will force the authorities to bend to the will of a group of discontented young men, and initiated the tacies of shamelessness, white and Colored. Its prompt collapse, upon the temporary closure of the institute, was restored, showed how unitedly the alumni, the workers and the more thoughtful students were operation and friendly conference, and opposed to all violence, insubordination and harassment of the executive committee of the Alumni association on Oct. 21 in support of the administration was granted an appreciated help. Two years ago the who's constituency of Hampton and Tuskegee was the proaching victory at the Hampton Tuskago endowment campaign. In 2011, the district lost to $2,900,000 in funding over $7,000,000 was raised, of which $325,814.54 was pledged by Negro donors. On Nov. 1, 2011, the district raised to $149,565.45 was due from Negro subscribers. As said you have to have an anxious to have these promises for our Colored people made good just as far as possible. Let us remember that every Hampton graduate pays his subscription in fall by Jan. 1, 1925, when all prizes are given. This is really impossible that the office of the endowment fund at Hampton institute is duly notified and reasonable extension of time But, in closing, one is glad to turn from thoughts of chance and administration to thoughts of Christmas and symbols. "For God so loved the world"—that is the reason why Christ was born at Bethlehem, and the reason why Jesus lived in little children rejoices to keep His birthday, and to express the loving kindness which springs up so naturally in human hearts at Christmas, and their reflected love for him and for one another—such a power as this cannot but prevail at last. You and I can do something to hasten the coming victory. Hampton has helped, and I have helped. With every good wish for your Christmas and for your New Year, 1 am. Faithfully yours, JAMES E. UCKK, Principal. Miss Helen M. Hilts in the following letter tells of the activities of the school's autumn retreat, reopen your contents for June, 1928; dare your friends: As the holiday season approaches I realize what a privilege it is to send the greetings of Hamilton to the loyal body of for- mer friends.

Trade School Work This year we send you a picture of a community Christmas tree at Hampton to remind you of your family's Christmas tree tower in the background. Do you remember the holiday season so full of the spirit of joy and good will, the singing of the carols on Christmas Eve, the holiday parties and other festivities during the vacation? For many years the community tree, with its colorful lights and a beautiful sight and has added to the holiday spirit. Once or twice in recent times the tree has been covered in fallen leaves on one of these rare occasions. This year Hampton has undertaken an entirely new enterprise—a European university under the direction of A. Gorden Potter, instructor of history in the college of Hampton. The Hampton institute staff, acced a counsellor of women, the Party visas administrator, and the spending nearly two weeks in Paris.

The extension department will be glad to give all the necessary information to anyone One of the finest pieces of work done by the trade school this year is the Dixie hospital, bordering Sage court, which lies between the Dixie hospital and the Hampton bridge, with a path of stretches and black headers. The work was in charge of David I. Terry, the department manager, and was executed by the second year class in bricklaying. The strength and beauty of this style of well depends upon the preface, and the work is so well done that the boys may well be proud of their work. Of course, you will be glad to know that the college is growing in numbers and efficiency each year. In addition to the work done in the year college courses wore caps and gowns at commencement, thus adding to the fall new dew of the college.

When Jack draws the next crowd he will not be in the attire of a pugilist demonstrating the manly art of self-defense, but will face his up to his political opponents who say that appearance and spellbinding is half the battle. Jack was recently appointing Democrat committeeman to Second Circuit. "You can rest assured," said Mr. Johnson to a Defender reporter, "that I am going to right just as hard to be a Republican as I played to political world as I did to gain the championship in the boxing world. "I know I have a hard fight on my side, but I am not going to be Democratic party means just as well by them as the Republics do. It is of little value to us as a race to be a Democrat and everybody who knows me knows that I am for fair play and that I would never have joined with the Democrats if I didn't believe and that there is fair play forthcoming." Asked what his plans were for party, organization. Mr. Johnson relied on a program until after the holidays, when he would hold a conference with his political committee to know he said, "that the coming Christmas affords me the pleasure of giving poor children a nice little souvenir of remembrance.

Would Be Shameful to Neglect Buckner It would be a shameful truth if the citizens of Chicago allow the body of the late Jim Buckner to remain the oak cemetery, unattended and unintented. Perhaps newcomers are not acquainted with the distinguished servant of the community, Up until his death in 1913, Major Buckner had a very definite influence upon the affairs of the people. Being the founder of the canonizer of a number of fraternal lodges, he was regarded as the salvation of countless numbers of persons. He was to remain the service of his service, a beautiful monument should be erected over his body. To do this it is necessary to have some one go to the front and start the ball to rolling. The monument must be Ill Health Leads to Two men, said to have been dependent over ill health, committed suicide this week by shouting them dead. Scully, 31 years old, employed at the stock yards.

NEW TYPE OF SCHOOL BUILDING FOR CHICAGO The Slave in the Pullman (From America, a Catholic Review) The nearest thing to a slave observable in this country is the Pullman porter. He has the same color, to begin with, and to conclude, he toils under conditions that are not remarkably dissimilar. The ante-bellum slave received no wage, but, as a rule, he was provided with enough food to keep him alive, and in it condition. His modern counterpart, the Pullman porter, manages to extort a money wage, but it is not a living wage. Far from it. But for the generosity of the public, he would starve. By the Pullman company, a corporation of enormous wealth, and the other half is carelessly tossed to him—or in some cases, slowly given with unspeakable reluctance—by the traveling public. The porters have presented their grievances to the interstate commerce court for a living or, rather, to receive a living in return for their work, and they dislike the plan of the court to impose stricture that their tips, which amount to about $7,000,000 yearly, are, in effect, a fixed charge on their wages. Allow the practice of "tipping" constitutes a violation of the federal law, and should be imposed on that public opinion will rally to their support and force the White Doctors Replace Ours in Hospital at Kansas City B. NATHAN HOPKINS Kansas City, Mo. Dec. 16.—With the advent of the administration of Mayor Albert I. Beach in 1924, physicians of our race in Kansas City were instructed in the old City hospital, though to branched out on their own resources by requesting that the Race assistant at the hospital he made chief of the medical service. Mayor Beach was approached on this matter after some weeks of discussion. He accepted the endorsement of the Kansas City hospital, and the staff were named on most every service in the hospital. This continued under the administration of Dr. T. C. Unthank, who then was superintendent. Two years later, two years this arrangement continued with profound success and the records show that the mortality under the Race physician was lower even after the first of hospital under white chiefs of staff and white assistants. Then came the advent of the commission form of government in the new superintendent appointed at the hospital and with his advent into the hospital came also the new director of the health department. He immediately made a new ruling that any man who was employed under the city was not eligible to be a memorial guard. Cavannes was called to the fact that this would remove practically every Democratic physician from the staff who were then memorial guarders than power of the hospital in two and would work a hardship on its standing. What the director was warned of when he then happened as many of the Republican members of the staff have withdrawn and have left the old City hospital and its present administration help- It has been developed that several president of the oil industry staff members, Mr. H. Brunet and a letter of request to Dr. Cavanness, representing the executive committee, to request the white members of the oil industry staff to be chiefs of the staff and make all Race physicians assistants. According to the letter, members accepted and on Sunday, Oct. 2, the meeting was called at an inconvenient hour and this program was terminated. The proof by the health director, Ernest W. Cavanness, and the physicians of our Race are once more relegated to the oil industry departments where they were 16 years ago. The Significance According to the constitution of the General hospital they have the power of acting at any time and removing them, despite working under their constitution with their overwhelming number of white assistants, the white staff are being be ruled from the staff altogether at any time they so desired. Be it further remembered that the previous organized staff were given the title of consultants to be called at any time needed. Now they have been given voting power and while there might not be any additional change during this administration you have the privilege of exercising any sovereign right invested. Even the Race assistants on the staff under them do not have any means to prevent their being moved from the staff completely at any time. Such a move is quite the Lincoln University is about to be astab- BUILDING FOR CHICAGO State Sts.

Whatever may be said of the local wage, the workers of our armour, it is clear that the workers are armed with a real grievance. They have a right, founded on the natural law, and taking precedence of the right of the company to declare dividends, to receive dividends, to receive services. They do not get it. Unless they demean themselves as a mendicant class, they run grave risk of matruthion. So we use that a corporation which deliberately pays an insufficient wage and cadges on the public to increase that wage, is a public misuse. Further, a corporation which fosters the creation of a mental and moral class is contrary to public policy. Two marvelous improvements have made their appearance in the Pullman cars in the last 25 years. Our Pullman is currently for the import berth, and the other is a slot for discarded razor blades. Apart from these alterations, the interior of the Pullman is much the same as it was in the time of the Buffalo expedition, in other respects, too, the company shows an unwillingness to change, and the chief of these is a reluctance to yield to humanitarian ideals. Should it elapse a willingness to revise its wage scale upward in favor of the porters, the public will overlook its rooted conservatism in other less important details. Humanity comes first. Replace Ours at Kansas City N HOPKINS lapsed here with the City hospital to be used as a unit in their development. It has further been declared that place members will not be admitted, and that place members have already been rejected by the whites. Yet at this late date they have, through the weakened policy of the Governing Council, over, subjecting themselves and the institution for the future with white members of the hospital in control, the Governing Council has become indignant over the situation and appointed a committee to ascertain the facts of the situation. During this week Dr. Cavannes, the chair of the committee, sent a letter to all newly appointed members and in the formation of this staff many of the strongest men of the profession served on the committee, the privilege of serving on the staff, while on the other hand, it has been necessary to give white members on the staff as high as four staff even on paper, complete their staff even on paper. The reason given for making the white chiefs of the staff, was that in order to put our hospital in A-class, it was necessary to have members of the American College or Surgeons as chiefs of the staff. Notwithstanding, this makes the hospital forever and a day under Nordic rule, for there are scores of hundreds of centimetre Race surgeons who are the country who are qualified and applied for membership as a fellow in the American College of Surgeons and have been denied membership, because of their color. What does it, therefore, mean to the Race profession? Then, the question will naturally arise—What position will the National Medical Association be placed in this standardization situation of our hospitals and our physicians? Are we not to have a need for an own office? Let's give us A-class standing without having white physicians' heads of our services? Then the question arises—is the National Medical Association going to assert its element of standing relative to Race hospitals in the cities as it did in the classifying of Howard university and Meharry Medical School, both of which are A-class? With the reapplication of this condition it is the last and only method of city hospital under control of our professional men. Another type of tragedy is that among those who are denoted as Edward Perry, who for 15 years has been assistant at the hospital; the past three years he has been chief of the National Medical association; he is the most outstanding surgeon that Meharry has produced; whose son is James Perry; and June. The question arises. What hope will young Dr. Perry have on his return on realizing conditions of affliction, and numbers of others are in similar situations. Kansas City has been looked upon as an outstanding medical center of this nation. If this it put in front of this nation will be regarded as a step backward. The Layman Has a Right If our physicians are not qualified to be chief of staff after 16 years of service, they must be free institution, they certainly are not qualified to be chiefs of the staff of this city, a pay institution. If it is necessary for them to have white physicians at the City hospital, then they must be the same element of protection and assurance in their homes from these dangers in this city and need to ask for THE CHICAGO DEFENDER The Tragedy girls of all races attend these schools judice.

DRUNKEN COP MEETS MATCH WHEN BEATEN Terrorizes Guests Till Subdued With Chair St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 23. - Guests at the Chauffeurs club winter garden, 3133 Pine Bld. were terrorized last Friday night and had to use drastiscal force against brutal treatment imposed upon them by Joseph Kohlber, white, motorcycle patrolman, who was laid out in his attempt to show up that place. He was apprehended upon the police ferve and is under charges. It is understood that a warrant will be issued against him on an assault to kill charge. The police said Kohlber said he had halted a taxi driver by a man of our Race on Jefferson Ave, near Clark Ave, because the driver of the taxi hold to the middle of the street so Kohlber could pass him in his automobile. Kohlber was off duty and in civilian clothes at the time, and of our group as a passenger in a bus, insisted that she be taken to her destination. The Chauffeurs' club garden, Kohlber said, he told the taxi driver to go to the club, following him in his Arriving at the club, which does not have a police officer in civilian clothes, began to assert himself, shooting nimbly at one of the guests. Kohlher was subdued, then someone knocked him down with a chair. Chief of Police Gek, investigating the attack, said a police physician, who said Kohlher was drunk and unfit for duty. Citizens Urge Reform in Fire Department Thousands of dollars are collected from citizens yearly to maintain the city fire department stations throughout the city. Only a small amount of this huge tax fund is used to support the Jim Crow fire station manned by 14 dark skies without representation and will continue to be practiced until the voters demand that this barrier be removed. Many city officials are the only real reform to be instituted at once. One station stands as a wall against the addition of many able young men to the city fire department. The number mentions 1,400 men of different nationalities, yet only 14 Race Hire men represent more than 200,000 city citizens. This undemocratic rule of the fire department stands as an official city sanction of segregation and discrimination in the commercial and industrial fields. The city should set an example by assigning these men to stations throughout the city and adding more to it until a just representation is reached.

Americans Have Habit of Slandering Themselves "We Americans have a habit of stundering ourselves by assuming that our ordinary day-to-day work is essentially self-serving and anti-social" writes Gleem Frank, president of Wisconsin university, in the Chicago Daily News. "Our animals we secretly sigh for some more socially significant undertaking than our ordinary profit-making businesses or professions, hide us in posts or artists or statues or prophets, so that we might have had the thrill of serving humanity," instead of simply supporting our family," the educator explains. Following the trend of this thought, Mr. Frank says it is assumed by most Americans that most eliminate slums that industry creates, that beauty is something produced by artists who are willing to give up the advantages of an orchard, that industry affords in the bleak independence of the garret. He then draws this conclusion: "We cannot inject beauty into a community that organizes and administers affairs in a sordid and slovenly way."

Dec. 23.—A bitter dispute over money matters occurred between Harvey Gould and his wife, Anna, at 120 Storms Ave. when Gould returned home after having spent his week's salary some other place. He asked Mrs. Gould, according to a confession in the hands of the police, for some of the money she had earned during the week. She refused. Gould, who works as a furniture helper, lost his temper and seized her by the throat. She struggled, but he maintained his grip. When he finally let go he discovered that his wife was dead. The discovery and realization of what he had done cleared his brain. He went into the pantry, found a package containing rat poison and swallowed the entire contents. He then went to the police station and gave himself up to the police. A stomach pump was used and they announced that Gould would recover.

Now and then they are discovered in their immoralities and with the lid blown off they seek shelter anywhere. In the many crudely environments in which they must play that tend to corrupt him. The saloon back room, the dingy dance halls, the night life resorts, all have an atmosphere that fittes bad conditions. In the last five years musicians are in the service in this class or their services have educated them. They are forced by strict leaders to behave themselves. They are schoolled and rehearsed and trained, and in the ranks of the popular musicians Bad Boys Gone Many of the bad boys who cannot control themselves have been driven out of the music game. The contempt of the music game does not tolerate them, even though they have exceptional ability on their instruments. This wash-out has had its effect and the bad boys have come into their homes and are behaving themselves. The musical bunch can say merry Christmas with a vim. They mean it and they want the world to know that their club has been prosperous.

This manifestation of confidence on the part of the thousands of musicians makes me feel proud, and in conclusion, a happy New York.

Miller has a faculty of singing shows when he wants and as he wants. Finances are a very small consideration. All that Miller needs is a lot of actors, a theater and an armful of drapes and gyes. That is enough to give him a show. So those who journeyed to the Lincoln theater the past week to view his latest production Tutt Whitney and J. Home Tutt were more than satisfied with the offered show. Such names as Miss Ridley, Theater Durothy Walker and Tutt and Whitney, Chas. White, Ferdon and the old reliable Stewart Hampon assisting Tutt in the comics were enough and the musicals and Special mention should be made of the charming manager, Miss Fontaine, who is looking after the interests of this wonderful production. This production splurges but the cost, design and color schemes. An attraction of this kind is of the intimate musical type, not calling for exceptional operating cost, and that gives it a splendid Since the leasing of the Lincoln theater by the Universal corporation and the substituting for the former Frank Spencer, a young Race man, the patrons have seen better offerings than ever before. Frank spares no money in the best that money can get and is well liked by fans as well as the public. WAKE UP! Show business in Chicago is at a standstill, the theaters in the Race Mertopolitan, are witnessing bad times, which of course is aggravated by the holiday period. Things will be worse and they may not. In the picture houses, business has fallen off due to the lack of customers wicked in during the week. The public has gotten wise to this and are retaliating by not attending regular concerts, and have small platform stages, the same acts are played over and over again, which is also displacing the patrons. In the singers, dancing teams of the medioclass, and it is only occasionally real first-class acts is presented. The public also is tired of being "gipped" with smutty, unbalanced feeling shows. During the past several shows have been good draws, and they went over because a big name headed them. Our producers and the public something for their money and you won't have to worry about bad business, even though an economic depression is current through the years. We amused and the theater is the place where they seek it. If you dissatisfy them, they won't come again and your books will linger in the real world. Interest real talent if they pay them decent wages and in return the public will be willing to pay to see these class performers in first-class shows. All over the country there has been an evolution in show business, in the movie houses, the stage band has become the king of the theater has been tested and is a heavy draw. Yauvillee acts are placed in front of the band. Master of cereal presentation and with first-class pictures the cinema houses are going along nicely. In the leit field this same thing can be accomplished, with an orchestra of lifelong friends, stage and four or five vaudeville acts, all in elaborate settings, business can be revived in these houses. The ruesed, sinutty, musical comedy has the first managers who see this condition, and will keep up to times and install the popular policy, will reap a harvest.

Give willingly, unstintedly, enthusiastically and make 'em like it. We give we give. We give to study, work and give and the monetary recompense is nearly always small in proportion to what we give. We give immediately given back in return for the necessities of road life, and what we don't give them somehow manage to take from us. But still we conceive that we give immediately given back to the necessities of road life. We give to charity; we give to the Red Cross; in times of calamity when funds must be raised to help the unfortunate; we give first to be called upon to give. And who gives more liberally and more unselfishly? And who derives more happiness from the giving. It gives us accident or accident awareness, or death strikes without warning and finds us financially unprepared, always remember that we could not nor shirked when we could. In actual fact, Christmas means only extra work to the performer, it is also meant to sustain the performer. The weeks before Christmas are always the least of the year. Half salaries are the custom and often room rent and board curtails the list of presents we would make. But somehow we manage to extract as much pleasure from the occasion as possible. The roomer, the cleaner, the leaner weeks (that follow the holidays aka, a find us scrambling to catch up with our advance). Mr. Sherman of the Lincoln theater, has somehow managed to infuse new life into the enterprise. The crowds were surprisingly better the first week, and the bitter cold weather. On a cold day in Kansas City you can stretch out your hands and hear the atmosphere of the Lincoln's patrons for the "Desires of 1925." By special request, the company remains at the entire company were the guests of Robert Smith at his beautiful rooftop house, the Dot Rey Gardens. The company is furnished for the amusement and entertainment of Race people. We were banqueted by royal style and pleasure, with music, singing and dancing.

It is not fair for any manager in New York to build his show a compulsive scale that it is only possible to play to a small profit in New York houses in New York city, the three phleum in Newark, the Gibson and the Standard in Philadelphia, the theatres in New York, the Howard and Lincoln in Washington and the Savoy in Atlantic City, all entering to Race shows and Race productions could form a circuit, giving the producers six to ten or more weeks to play their shows in the East and their white.

ARCHIE MAJORS The popular Article Majors writes the letter to the president, who he wishes his friends in and out of the profession, holiday greetings. Arche at 36 Court S₁₀, New York, N. J. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER ARNOLD SAYS ARNOLD SAYS I am merely writing this article, also trusting that the World's Greatest author will through its popular theatrical editor, Dave Peyton, see it to publish what I have taken upon myself to do. Hence I feel those who will read it will to contain more truth than fiction. In a recent issue of a weekly an article appeared, written by Eddie Leonard, titled "The Minstrel of the World," and it is true. Facts, like figures, do not lie. For example, he goes on to say that he has no patience with anyone who is not businessless. No line of business makes no difference what it might be, will thrive, even the show game, the knocking, the knocking, the knocking, of getting better it will get worse. If you don't like conditions even the surroundings. Not please, even the world gets better, not get off, not get off the sake of humanity stop knocking. Abraham Lincoln said, "When you cannot remove an obstacle play around it, you can find richer dirt by being optimistic." True, everyone knows who has had anything to do with the show game, and who has not. Another thing, the show game of the present time isn't what it used to be in years gone by. When fault it is because conditions are not what it was, the show game takes time to take a rap at whatever part of the show game you are connected with, like a rubber ball thrown at you. It is followed by a back to. It me appears as though many have got into the habit of being dissatisfied. I have line of the show business. I have followed the season of 1889. And, too, since the season of 1903, I have been handling general advance and publicity work for the show. I show. Hono as I say life in the show game is only what you make it. It's all right if you don't weaken. Again, the theater game, I can handle stones, large and small. Does it make it any better to start complaining about conditions. Here, too, is a mistake when you it remove an antiseed I am frank to admit, though, that there are some attractions touring the country, all manner and styles as well as well as the Colored ones. Yes, and there are some excellent attractions now touring over the enterprising circuit of the T. O. B. A. And with such a wide range of experiences three or more years. And the men behind the T. O. B. A. as President Milton Starr, Sam E. Reevin, along with Martin Klein, are doing the requests of the many styles of attractions now touring over the circuit. If they do not fulfill the requests of the earnest effort, they have done the best they can under conditions. Yes, just as I say, every time one takes a knock at the show game, any of its channels, it has many of its fans serving as yourself. In many instances show business, so I have found out, means good entertainment. No line of the show game is dead. We have all been there. Still, right now though, conditions are a bit off. But it's only on account of the Christmas holidays coming on, no one thinking of amusements. What are the chances of a Claus. The many kinds of stores the country over are the ones that are reaping the profits. But even at that some shows, the better ones, are getting their share of return at the box Again I say it's the kickers, the grumblers, the fault finders who make or break the amusement game. Hence if you are not pleased with your narration, you are not going to be trying to do the best he can be by you, under conditions. I refer to the various booking agents. And a booking a. n. has more troubles to face than a. n. has to reference to those who are identified with the enterprising circuit of the T. O. B. As much as they would like to grant your requests, in some cases, I am quite sure, they find the burden of your requests to be quite unpleasant. Again, the one thing that is really needed is good performers. There is no more critical critic than an audience itself. Nothing keeps them away from the theater any more than bad shows. Show business I can frankly say, wants the best. The main trouble lies, though, in not having as Mr. Leonard says, enough high class performers, a matter of talent and personality, to offer a 100 percent program every day in the week. Hence show business means good entertainment by good performers. Among these are the satisfied ones. Just as I say, any show like a mountain clifber will go over the top so long as there is optimism felt. And this usually carries one to great success. Let dissatisfaction be felt, some are declined to be this way, it will be like the bull in the china shop, the shop will go to pieces. I have always adhered to the old true saying, "Every cloud has a silver lining." Hence when you take a slam at any part of the show business you hurt the entire entertainment world. DORSEY BROADCASTING Mobile, Ala.—Well, at this writing the writer is getting ready for the holidays. Last Sunday you truly praise the playwright, his old friends in the show world, Charles Anderson, owner and manager of the Follies of Dixie revue. Church looks like a play, but you have the bunch of performers with him this season. On Tuesday night the writer dropped in the Pike theater and reviewed the playwriting to end.

Art Stewart, as the musical bunch, all call him, is the vice president of Local 208 and a fin- ished musician. He has seen over- sensive service during the war in the capacity of bandmaster of the 365th band, and made a wonderful record for efficiency, his band ranking with the best over there. The band has made no mistake in electing this musician to the position. His life is wrapped up in bands. He knows the game and how to handle the mus- icians the best way to get results. Clarence Shackelford, the strutting drum major, is the manager of the band and Richard Chapman is the secretary. The entire band is made up of union musicians and all belong- ing to Local 208. President Veron Biggs has often voiced his best wishes for the organization which promises to mold into a line musical unit, and under Captain Stewart there is no doubt as to the success of the Great Lakes band. Alex Scott, one of Chicago's pioneer musicians, died in the Kankakee in- February this week. He had been con- fined there for nearly a year. His death comes as a shock to the musicians in Chicago.

Henry Bowman and his Cotton Blossoms are on their third week at the Monogram theater, presenting nifty little musical comedy tah shows, just the right kind of amusement for this house. The Savoy ballroom, Chicago, has had a big draw after the game. This may cause a big draw as the Chicago folks are wild about basketball and incidentally will endure themselves to the palace --- E. B. Dutley, owner of the Indiana theater, Chicago, has gone exclusively to the picture game. He let out the orchestra's music and used an automatic organ to accompany the screen plays. The Willard theater continues to get a little business owing to Sammy Stewart's orchestra playing there. The pictures are second runners, which of course do not draw so heavy as they are seen sooner in the neighborhood. The Metropolitan theater, with its broad-minded owners and managers, continues to do a thriving business. They should do it and will do it, as they are the first in the community who support their house. Just recently, through the efforts of Matt Taylor, the manager, Messrs.

Investors Should Note The fluctuating power of the dollar should be taken into consideration by every prospective investor. An investor who bought bonds in 1925 would have had no transaction in 1925. During the period of the investment the cost of living had been rising with the result that in 1925 the investor's principal, in terms of purchasing power, was 25 years previous. To minimize this hazard it has been suggested that the investor divide his investment principal judiciously between bonds and sound, high-grade common stock and gradually to have a proportion of any invested fund every few years.

Advice to the Wise and Otherwise Princess Mysteria News of the Music World BY MAUDE ROBERTS GEORGE *Dear Princess: I am a young woman of 22 for two years. He says he loves me, but can a man love a girl and do something for her? Ask the girl to support her, ask the girl to help him in need, or ask the girl to make appointment only the time he cannot use otherwise. Is kind and good, professes his love for me constantly, meets us at almost any time, and does nothing or nothing? I tell what me to do—* A problem like your state seems to have gradually taken a firm hold on a great deal. It is a problem that you'll be never in my many years of public life. I have been so many love triangles, if it is, and an epidemic it could not be more prevalent. It is possible for a man to live with his wife, or a woman to live with her husband. It is a problem that you'll be terrible to even smoking, but it is a problem in at least a queer being. He usually feels that his sex gives him the whole life, and he's always a problem when things don't go on. He can love you and let me be guilty of all the things you do. It is a problem that you help him out on his expenses. That you help him out on his expenses. That you are intolerable. A love like you can describe it. It's not the one you have, and all unless he does not give up his home and all unless he knows what he is doing. If he loves you, you'll be a bad person, and a very very νεοῦγος, insofறῶν υραιρῶν, and a thousand other things that will eventually come from your association, then keep it up. Otherwise out it out. Dear Princess: I am a young man of 25 years of age, he has been a wife but I would like to have a wife and home. I am going with a girl who has been married twice. She is divorced from both his son and the other son, but I have not had a son. She is not at fault. I think she was. She is jealous and has a very bad temper. She is be落在我, and I'm very bad, but not a husband he told me, but I am not a man, but I am not a woman. What must I do? James. And a jealous disposition is a combination hard to beat. In fact, I do not think anyone can beat it. She has had her husbands and, if she has had her husband, she has been one of the volunteers to come and warn you Greater Hethod choir, under the direction of James A.

Dear Princess: I am coming to you and I am going to do the plainly what to do. I have gotten up with a man I am marrying and I fear that you will only be another good young men go-ou wrong. A married man cannot marry every woman he takes a fancy to. Sometimes his interest in a woman, aside from his wife, as only a passing away of the life of his mother who is always a woman, is always a person who has the things he should be. Sometimes his home is so very unhappy that he finds the companionship of others a relief. Married men are supposed to have an advantage over single ones so far as trilling goes, because the should know more about the willings of women. This is not always true. There is something about the average married man that makes the other woman think he is the most marvelous thing on earth. If she could only see him at home her mind would be the same thing as many you know; may he would not be the could. If you can find a man who is willing to wed you, and you want him, I advise you to do so, as I am sure your married friend will never retract his assertion and I am sure he honestly means it.

During this same game of football has changed that any writer who attempts change his perspective with the ago the experts used to pick his position, according to They say that no man is qualified to pick an all anything team without making mistakes in his selections. All of which we grant without argument and as a preface to this story about our all-Southern team which is printed in this section. The writer is making this selection, based on statistics, comments, opinions and actual observation made personally as each Southern team was observed in action. For nearly a generation the greatest indoor sport of the sports writers has been the selection of and all something team and the results have always been a heap of argument and a growing conviction on the part of these same sports writers that at best the all something team is just a careful guess, the public did not have to be convinced of this fact. During this same generation the game of football has changed so materially that any writer who attempts to select an all-star team must change his perspective with the changes in the game. Years ago the experts used to pick the best individual players in each position, according to their opinion and throw eleven names together in a mythical team. That is not, but using done in the same sports writers are still picking their teams by the "all-star" route, but many are trying to select their team with the view of efficiency of the team. The team is called upon to perform on the field. The writer's idea of an all-Southern team is one, in that our opinion, could go on the field and not any team picked by the team. To be more exact in terminology the writer's selection is an all-Southern squad. This is not the case. In case of a game these two teams could be mixed up or interchanged without hurting the efficiency of the team in action and thus lies the secret of most great teams. First let us discuss the line, the breast works behind which every backknee must light and every knee must heavy and both. At left end we would start Hall of Makama State. This announcement will bring local banantee to the football field in action against Morehouse. On the other end we have the veterian Club of Atlanta university. He did not show up so well in his hair and he slowed. In that game the medium weight dunker was by no means at his best, but show me the man who stays at the games and we will show you a superman. Clay is the most pass-receiving end in the South today and he is a strong enough for these two lads would be Brooks of Fisk university and Peter James of Talahdea, both lads are well known in this section and will agree with me on the selection. Lattimer of Morchouse and the giant Pierce of Atlanta would start a good fight on going down under pants. Pierce set the Southeastern conference on fire with his hard tackling and there was with him going around his end. Midfourteen overtook him in the last game of the season and as a result his wrist was broken. And Champion of Tuskegee would supply the reserved strength and would add a tower of strength on both defense and offense. These two men are as good as the first two mentioned. A. Powerful Guard Combination A Powerful Man on the left side of the line we place one of the greatest guards the South has seen for many a year. I. Smith of Tuskegee, a position as he could not be left out of the squad on account of his brilliant playing throughout the season. This young man was a member of the Smithia university, which was one of the line showings that he has made this season. He has been wined right side of the line we have the Alabama wonder man in a vision in person. He is Maxwell Jones of Alabama. We have the scorchers which stopped the Abbott machine in their march to their 30th straight game. In case they should weaken, we Sharperidge of Atlanta and Up- PART 1—PAGE 10 --- The Line Tuskegee: Garner, Alabama State; Brown U.: Clemmons, Morris Brown Risk.

And over the time would have a tower of strength in Tadlock, a mainstay on the Tuskegee team and a veteran of many wars. This man has been selected several times on Frank Young's all-American and his held colors of Tuskegee above reproach. It was a great time to have the team at Atlanta, better known in those parts as "Hog Man," who could replace Tadlock with ease. Tadlock will have to watch his step or Robinson will root him out of his position. At quarterback we have Whedbee of Atlanta, who has been given up to a big shot of the ball carrying. No argument is needed to convince the public that he is qualified for both of these things. He can also do the punting and as a passer he is unexcellent. E. Baker of Clark University is a build of the Whedbee's race. He is a great punter and a threat with the ball. In McPherson of Atlanta we have a good punter and a good passer and he is also a dangerous man with the ball and the best the plunger in the conference. McPherson is of great man in backing up a line and is fast. Duke Williams of Clark would be his reserve. In him we have a man of sturdy strength and a triple threat of the best broken field runners in the states. At the other half we have a great interferer and good ball carrier as well as a good ace. He is a great broken field runner and a fair pass receiver, but his great strength lies in his secondary defensive work and his ability to put up a point if necessary. Branges of Florida A. M. would bring up the reserve and he is a almost as good as Chambers and he will be a good point if Stevenson will start at tuffback and there again we have a great defensive back and an expert interference back. He is very useful in kicking the point after touchdown in which he has made the world wonder how he does it with so much ease and grace and also a great triple threat of the greatest triple threats in college football. His reserve would be his teammate, no other than the mighty Baller of Tuskegee, who has not had a great chance to make a big impression on all who have watched him with his terrifying line plunging, and he would add a power backup up the line in the circles. That backfield would be hard to beat, but the reserve would be only a weaker in any downhill battle. Whether the middle backhitter would captain this team. He is one of the best field generals the South has ever known. As alternate captain, he would down that position and would be mighty hard to beat.

We admit he is his lot of the game, but he saw in action in his section of the country. Some of the men placed on the mythical eleven are worthy of the honors. Some are far from the elite. The thing that is puzzling us is how this young man, who lives in Philadelphia, could pick any all-star eleven and not find a place on either team or team for man in the Texas conference or in Oklahoma. They play football down there. They play a whale of a game down there, too. They interest this young writer to know that all folks won't be fooled all the time. In the first place, he sent out a release dated from Athens, Ga., with a story on the Tuskegee-Athens game even in Atlanta when the game was played. Yet the story appeared over his signature. He had West of the kingdom and Pinkburgh, and Pinkburgh, toward as another. Neither man worked in the game and his story was based on a 150-word wire sent to the data that might to him in Philadelphia. If this same writer can find a better end then Williams of Langston we will present him with a new John W. Hammond. When it comes down to judging teams, we don't believe we are the greatest juniors our southern birthdress then we get hot under the collar and we wear the celluloid kind we are all right let us do a little figuring. Tuskegee beat Lincoln, so did Howard. But Howard was beaten by Atwater and got it with Fisk. Fisk was beaten by Tuskegee and Morehouse and Morehouse had a miserable season. Bluefield beat A. and T, and the team won the C.I.A. A championship. Tuskegee and Bluefield were sailing along line, but they have two ties chuked up in the season by Tuskegee bama State Normal play them to a 0 to 9 tie. Tuskegee outgained State Normal, made more first downs—but they didn't win. Bluefield tied with Wilberforce and Wilberforce was beaten by Virginia who was beaten by Bluefield. That spells Bluefield's record. True. Bluefield and Tuskegee didn't lose a game. What about Texas? Here's about Texas. Fred Long opened the season in Dallas and the win wonder 队 of Oklahoma and lost. But he whipped his team into shape to win the Texas conference. What about Langston and where does their claim come in? Let us recite a few facts to you. In 1922, Langston was the year Langston was not defeated in 1926. Langston was beaten by Wil伯莱尔 in 1922 in a post-season game. He lost to Paul Quinn on a Christmas day tilt, 6 to 9, when Paul Quinn got two field goals. Not since 1922 has a player from another than by Wil伯莱尔 until this season when Prairie View planted two touchdowns on the Oklahomaans ALL-S SAYS- LONG WH Paddy Mullins Merry Christmas in the first quarter, then Langston proceeded to trim Prairie View. Now you say that Langston don't play the bigger teams? No, because all the teams are scared. We, in an effort to clear up the situation, asked Huelfield, West Virginia, Witherford, Puskegee and toward to play them. In home and home game startings this year, No one has the media; the team is long as Johnson, Jones and Williams are members of the team. They graduate in June, so maybe some team will play Langston in 1922. Put back to 1927. Tuskegee beat Lincoln, Atlanta and every-body until they stumbled up against Alabama State. They couldn't win and they didn't even score. That was on Dec. 9. On Thurksgiving day, Langston beat Alabama State, 34 to 0. In the last quarter the score was 0 to 0. Yes, Doster recovered fumbles and those recoveries paved way for scores. Doster is smart, not quite as smart as Askey of Sam Huston, but he is smart. So, to our way of thinking, if Alabama State tied Tuskegee and lost a Langston, Langston must have some time to change. If the game is done in the next week, and Why clean up the Texas conference, Langston has a stick of T.N.T. in their sleeve. For the Philadelphia service, let us call his attention to Morgan and Janet, who will be playing for Lincoln on a few years back, to Williams of Hampton's 1927 team who comes from Oklahoma and to the Southwest who have made good. They play football there—they have some wonderful material. We have our birthplace is Willisport, Pa., but we believe in giving credit where credit is due. EVERY now and then some one breaks through to make the grade. This time Jack Beasley, New Haven, Coma, middleweight A. A. U. boxer, sparing a surprise in his fight by knocking out one John Pile of the Astoria Knights of Columbus in round three of the Metropolitan A. A. U. championship Square Garden after 10:00. You can't keep us down OF all the nerve in the world and of all the things that ever come to mind of Harry Wills, who now seeks to draw the color line on Jack McVey, the most promising of middleweight of today, in order to try to win the course. Of course, McVey looks tough and Paddy most likely needs a meal ticket. Dempsey dodged the challenge in the late days Harry perhaps wouldn't have beat Jack, but when the New Yorker was in his prime, he would have won the white boy, so Jack dodged Harry and Paddy shed more tears than would have taken to lilp up the English channel because he saw the coin thrown. Now the shoes lilt the other foot. Courney is Mullin's man and he is so Mullin's one of the brethren and so Mullin's one of tries to hide behind the color line. Of all the nerve, Of all the nerve AND here's wishing all of you a Nerve Christmas and a Happy New Year. Beaten by Schofield Augusta, Ga., Dec. 16 — Haines opened the basketball season by losing to Schofield of Alken in a very tight game. They started fast and for the first quarter Haines had the advantage and seemed sure winners, but soon Schofield led by Captain Robinson led to a game where basketists from all angles and completely played Haines off their feet. Robinson of Schofield was high scorer for the day, shooting eight points and four foul shots for a total of 20 points for the day. Robinson, Royal and Walker were early shots for the players, while Robinson, Royal and Walker occupied similar roles for Haines. GEORGIA STATE HIGH GEORGIA STATE HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONS FORT VALLEY INDUSTRIAL HIGH SCHOOL SQUAD 图 -SOL LONG WHIPS BERT COLIMA SECOND TIME Mexican Better Boxer but Loses Los Angeles, Dec. 14.—Substituting caution for courage and panic for punching doesn't get one very far in the boxing game. He had it proved to the satisfaction of £300 customers again last night when he trapped a man in the ring and weight, who hosted him a month ago in Oakland, who tight-fight back in the clinches, and therein is the story of this detest, just as it tells the story of most of Colinna's upsets. He also punched his body an inky red with short, snip hooks and seldom fought house or fought back with the same Mexican Better Boxer The Mexican prowled Long's master at boxing and at sharpshooting punches he even Long's minister, but he was not a boxing expert, piling up a point margin, the bulldog-like Long would come sailing in from behind down and both arms would be raised, shattering his shattering, shattering and civaling. Colma would fall right into the ellipse and before he could extirpate himself he would cut himself and allowed his opponent to pile up a safe margin. Colima had four rounds by friendly reckoning. Long had at least two rounds and he reckoning and did. Bert fought his best in the second and ninth rounds, and in between those sessions fought too cautiously yet in neither case did he press his advantage. Long proved to be just a good, mauling body-puncher with a stout chin and a stiff stomach, never getting too close. But ultimately him wishing for the end several times with his tellious beowowing of Long's section. It was the final section and one that the result found the wise birds out again on a limb as the gamblers had made Colma They fought a fast first round, Colma starting at top speed and then to the chin. Long kept bracing with scarcely any return on Colma's giving bert a body shellcutting with a would keep Long in a distance and clenched around him Bert had the advantage, but Long kept touching Colma's shoulder showing no liking for that style of milling. On effective punching Long had the round in the second Colma caught Long flush on the chin with a stiff left hook and long staggered the rope back and back, making rights and lost his advantage. The Mexican boxed a better shot than the clinches when he got into them, Colma had a big edge in the round. Long Takes Third Long took the third round. It was the same old story, too many body parts in the clinches. All Long had hurt his back Colina into the handsome corner and beat him about the body, he standoff rung. Colina was not hurt, but the clinches by landing a hard right to the stomach. The fourth was an even round. Colina boxing much better than matching Long's aggressiveness. Colina fought a poor fifth, he allowed Long to pull him into close quarters repeatedly and received a constant tattoo on his kidneys and a second match no match for Long at infighting. Superior infighting gave Long the SCHOOL CHAMPIONS --- NOTICE TO BASKETBALL SCORERS Owing to the fact that some schools score basketball games different from others and that we are trying to have a uniform style, we are asking correspondents to send their games in as follows: Player's name, position, baskets, free throws and personal fouls. A sample follows. Do not use last column for total points. Milwaukee (33) B. F. P. Jones f. 4 1 1 Reid f. 4 0 2 Haney c. 2 0 2 Smith g. 2 1 1 Reed g. 1 0 3 Rollins g. 2 1 1 Referee—Johnson.

Those who follow the old style of using total points in the third column will have their copy assigned to the waste-basket. sixth round also, Collium landing only one good punch, a right hand to the elbow that sent Ting long spining almost out of the ring. He bounced back, closed in on Collium and punched at his body. Bert Peps Up Colima finished the seventh with a flurry of gloves, snapping out of his retreating tactics and peppering Long about the head and body with stiff rights and lefts. He called his own way in the eightth, the call his way in the thing but one clinch after another with Long centering his attack on Colima's ribs and stomach. In the ninth, he looked more better than in former rounds. He brought his left hook into play, handing it five times in the ninth. He kept out of the clinches also. Colima took the final round by a slight margin. His ninth round, supposed to be an eight-round affair, was stopped midway in the second round by Referee Steve Nyland and Ernie Darnell. His opponent, a very punchy-looking individual, reckoned and going and only kept his feet because of an iron constitution. He failed to land a single punch on Oceans and the crowd held the fight on. Mike Exercises In the special event, Mike Vattors punched Franklin Pichler's head in the second round, but he had film on the verge of a knockout several times. Billy Engman knocked out Osa McKittrick with a right to the head, and Mike Peterson fought, McKittrick went down, rested on one elbow and calmly listened to the ten count.

GODFREY TO MEET PAULINO ```markdown ``` SPORTS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1927 DOYLE SIGNS HEAVIES FOR TEN-ROUNDER DOYLE SIGNS HEAVIES FOR TEN-ROUNDER Los Angeles Promoter Gets Match BY MARK KELLY Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 14.—Gregory Godfrey, foremost of the present hivewives, will meet Pauline Uzckudin, the Kansas City native, Los Angeles next month in a 10-room scrap that will be promoted by Jack Doyle. Whether the hout will be held in the Olympic auditorium or in Wrigley field is not yet determined. The date has not been tabbed but is expected to be either Jan. 24, or Jan. Hayden Wadhams, matchmaker for Doyle, closed negotiations yesterday after assuring both principals that he would cut of an approximate gate of $50,000. Jim Dougherty, Godfrey's manager, has been after the hout for months and failed to close negotiations in New York city. Vacuum was Rickard's big drawing card. He was matched with Jack Sharkley after heating Heiney and when Sally McCormick was left on Rickard's hands with no work to be done. He decided to go shopping and picked up coast negotiation through Billy McCormick, turning deaf ears to us for months. Dougherty has been given so much free by Rickard that he won't let you eat his bread. His purpose is far and the break-fitity. Rickard frankly told Dougherty that the reason he was so cold was too good and would gum up the promotional cards that Rickard was playing for a good summer next year. Since leaving Los Angeles in July Godfrey has had 12 fights and won them all by knockouts. Uzdatum, who weighs over 200 and is a physical argument, being built on somewhat equal proportions, ought to be a big local drawing card because of his Spanish ancestry. There are thousands of Mexicans and Spaniards horsebacks who will be glad of the opportunity of seeing Godfrey. In the fact that Godfrey has lost a California engagement and you get the ingredients for a big turn-up, you can accommodate much of a gallery so the fight may go outdoors.

Brent simply went up in the top 150 of up games of 211, 216 and 159 for a total of 616—a new individual series, record, breaking the old mark of 581 held by Bill Cheatham. Bethany, who did something that no other five has done this season—remained in possession of first place two weeks in a row. 27 of them team with the highest series and a high game of 192. Chevalet's defeat neglected that quintet to third place and gave Bethany second position, when they took two from Grant, missing the third game by two plus Griggs with counts of 177, 162 and 159. Winnings, white laddie with scores of 193, 170 and 166, was Grant's best bet. Cheatham's games of 166, 191 and 176 scored either first or second. Quinn continued its winning streak at Metropolitan's expense, taking three games. Johnny Parker, 29, and 155 games and Jack Tucker, 183, and 160 counts were Quinn's best scores. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 18. Activity continues to be the keynote about the office of the Hilldale club, with the result that two more Daisies have been added to the Darby bunch. Richard Whitworth, big right-handed hurler, and Napoleon Cummings, first baseman, have both signed on the dotted line and will report to Bill Francis in April. Charlie Freeman handed over the quill in person to Chance Cummings when the Atlantic City athlete visited the Hilldale office prior to his departure for Palm Beach, where he is engaged in the haberdashery business during the winter season at the popular Florida resort. To land Whitworth, Freeman was forced to send the parchment on a long journey into the tall timber of the upper Michigan peninsula, as now resides in a little town named Muntsing on Lake Superior's bleak shore. Singularly enough, both of these players, veterans of the game, were captured in 1921 by Hilldale that was captured by Bill Francis. So the get-together conference in the spring will have all of the earmarks of a reunion in the Hilldale South Chicago Volley Ballers Lose to Wabash Monday night the Wabash Y volleyball team was defeated in a three out of five game series by the South Chicago Y, M, M, C, A, department. South Chicago winning the first game with the score of 15 to 3. In a second game the Wabash five overtook the South Chicago team with an eight-point lead, running up 19 points. At this stage of the game the South Chicago captain called out time, and upon resuming play shot five spikes across the net for a victory of 15 to 12. Chance Cummings, who made his bow in the baseball circles of the East with the Bacharach Glants in 1921, played in the lantic City team over the entire period with the exception of two years. Aside from being with Hildale in 1921, he was inactive on the team until 1924, when he was released by the Seashore team. While never regarded as a star, Cummings is a capable performer of the consistent type and a student of the game. Whitworth has blazed a swash on the diamond both in the West and East. In 1915 he was the pony hurler of Rube Foster's American team, which developed into the star of the stiff, and he joined the Hildale club and for two years he mowed them down in the East for Ed. Bolden's squad. In 1922 he resigned the American Glants and early in 1923 he joined the motor mishap, his second in as many years. The following year he left Chicago for the small town of Munising. Even in the sticks his diamond was a strong force, and he pitched the hick town to three straight championships. Battling Jackson of Augusta Wins Bout Macon, Ga., Dec. 14. — Battling Jackson, lithe and cool-headed, billed as "of Augustus," earned a popular nickname as "the Texas Tanner," a heiress man, who seemed to have the punch, but couldn't land it. Tanner, who despite his moniker, is seated in the rightmost of the way, but seemed adverse to getting too close to the lightning-like punches of his smaller opponent. The fight was staged before one of the largest crowds the team had seen, and was pleasing to the fans, as was the decision. In the eight-round semifinal, Battling Jimmy won a technical victory and was pleasing to the fans, as was the decision. "Flashlight Kid" Reed knocked Jimmy down six times in the first round of their six-round improbable, and the Braswell towel adorned the center of the arena ere the second round was over. In the ninth, Mild Scotia and Bust McKay fought four round to a draw.

Rickard Spikes Ambitions of George Godfrey and Co. --- New York, Dec. 14. **Tex Richard didn't play poker in the Yukon and Nevada gold fields for nothing. Faris, Tex has had what might be called a career playing in the greatest institution of learning in the world, the College of Hard Knocks. One of the first things he learned was to camouflage his feelings and make what is appear.** It was a treat to watch the tall Texan register annoyance, even anger, over the reports that the on agin, off agin, Sharkey-Heney match was gone agin. Tex rumped matched and swore he never "seed" anything like how the wild stories started. "I had Johnny Buckley and Sharkey on the phone this morning," drawled Tex. "Jack did four miles on the road yesterday and is training for the next season. Yet because of his injured hands, He's going to nurse that along until after Christmas. The Sharkey-Heney match isn't off, was never off, never seed anything like how the players keep tellin' such wild yarns." And all the while the tall Texan was chuckling to himself and gurgling ways to start other stories and keep the surest way to arouse and keep interest in anything is to keep 'em guessing. That's why he takes such screws out. Anything, anythings until he known of Jack Dempsey's plung into the 12th hour.

The South Chicago winning the first game with the score of 15 to 3. In a second game the Wabash five overtook the South Chicago team eight-point lead, running up 12 scores. At this stage of the game the South Chengio captain called out time, and upon resuming play shot five apices across the net for a victory of 15 to 12. The third game the Green and White Chengio turned the tables, defeated South Chengio with a score of 15 to 4. In the fourth game South Chengio turned the tables, winning by 15 to 10. In the last game Watson gave all their men a chance and lost, Nashville Omegas in 7-3 Win From Kappas Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 17—With one game each tuiced beneath the belts. Omega and Kappa engaged in a death struggle for leadership in the interfraternal Basketball League. So close was the guarding on both sides that the half ended with Omega leading by the slim and scanty margin of 1 to 0. Kappa was led to the thing but lost to a better team which had an abundance of classy reserve material. Knox, as usual, was the high point scorer for Omega, however the sensational playing of Perry at forward. Jackson and Seahrooks, at guard, were the high lights of the game. For Kappa, the dogger and terrific families of Marshall. Oliver, Bailey and Chairman, without the aid of their star guard. Huit, who quit school, was marvelous to behold.

Boley Opens Season Boley, Okla, Dec. 16—Boley opened Consequently, Roy, now heralded as Ace, because there is only one room in the deck. He was skipped to the health farm and took up the game of fistfuls. The late Tiger Flowerers and Bob Lomax had immediately pronounced his case as hopeless as rubbing hair tone on a wig. Ace wasted more energy than a Tiger, who was down on a windy day; in fact, the Tiger suggested they vacuate him so he wouldn't catch everything, so he took a hand in the daily proceedings and was rougher than the way of the transgressor, he took punishment enough to knock splinters from wood alcohol; in fact, it was discovered that he should have been named Danielle he was a Boone to the box. Ace is six feet seven inches skyward, wabbles the Fairbanks to 233 pounds and is only 21 years old in order to out and will no doubt reach such gigantic proportions as no boxer ever did before. He has hands that reverberate enough to dum the Mississippi, his mouth looks like a horse collar, but he has a disposition that makes him irresistible, as is likable as a June bob. There isn't a boxer in the ring today, anywhere near his size, who can move with the speed and skill of Clark, with the exception possibility of a boxer who covers in the South until Miller was satisfied he had ripened enough to turn loose and after sending him in against the best he could match him in the boxing. He named Ace is ready for the big time. Ace has one pet ambition, that is to meet and maneuge George Golffrey, who boxed his stalemate opponent in Lawson, but any the worst of the going, but because of the difference in weight and other physical advantages, therefore he wants to wreak vengeance on An idea of how large Clark is will be gained when it is known that he forced to wear his shoes to his order, but his gloves and shoes as well, his head being the only thing not big or out of proportion.

They are few, but the two who stand out above all others are OKely of North Carolina college and Morrison of Kittrell college. These men are hard, fast, charging tackles. Manning of St. Louis is ability to judge plays. Morrison of Kittrell college are given second choice. Guards are even more scarce than St. Augustine. Manning of college is moved over to guard because no team would be complete without him. His running mate is Flaw of St. Augustine. But in center, Burley of North Carolina college and Alderman of Kittrell college. Both are good passers and excellent defenders. St. Augustine.

Halbucks are more plentiful than any other type of players. There are men who would delight any coach's eye. Walker of North Carolina college: Mitchell of St. Augustine; Jones of Brick's Junior college: Guales of North Carolina college: Cadwell of North Carolina college: L. Sanders of Kittrell college: Cadwell of Kittrell college: Ranking of Livingstone college, and Perry of Kittrell college. However, Cadwell of North Carolina college and L. Sanders get the choice. Both are open and broken field runners, able to receive passes and carry good interference. Stroud of North Carolina, fullback, is about the best in the state being able to kick and throw passes with accuracy. Hoyer of St. Augustine is not far behind. However, we must give Stroud the first choice. Another good back is Branch of Kittrell college. . AGENTS EVERYWHERE 1.
