The leaves appear to be part of a larger plant, possibly a tree or a shrub, with a thick trunk and a crown of branches. The leaves are mostly green with some yellowish tints, and they are overlapping and overlapping in a somewhat chaotic manner. The background is dark, which makes the leaves stand out prominently. At the Howard-Lincoln Game—DR. and MRS. WALTER GOINS, MRS. GEORGE CLEVELAND HALL and MISS HORTENSE HALL of Chicago, DR. and MRS. EMMETT J. SCOTT, and in the background ALG ERNON ROANE of New York. --- Page Fourteen At the Howard-Lincoln G cago, DR. and MRS. EMM Social Events When the wrangling bells had ended Slowly struck the clock eleven And from out the silent heaven Silence on the town descended. Silence, silence, everywhere. On the earth and in the air. Washington. You've heard how the Chinaman described it—"Red brick houses with green blinds closed at ten o'clock." That Chinaman should have dropped back here last week, when there were so many different affairs on that one didn't know what to attend and some daring Washingtonians will admit that they saw the milk wagons (horse-drawn) pass through the streets near sunrise. A. M. The Bachelor Benedicts and the Chi Delta Mu opened the Soirees with Formals on Wednesday. We piroutted from one to the other, trying to find room on either floor to place our dancing feet and listening, between times, to Johnny Eaton making almost as much noise as the Orchestra. * * * Thursday mornings breakfast dance the grand reunion event, was sponsored this year by Pearl Curtis, Robbie Brown, Bessie Russell, Mildred Wright, Carolyn Manns and Frances Garvin. Thursday evening gave the homecoming and reunion dance of the Alumni and friends, with Dean Geo. W. Cook, Miss Juanita P. Howard and Mrs. Howard Long, presiding. This was followed by the Sorority Dawn Dance and numerous private affairs. * * * Friday afternoon, those whose shoes still had soles, hied forth to the Omega afternoon frolic or the Inter Fraternity Dance. I forgot to mention that Alpha Phi Alpha entertained its own men at a smoker on Thursday, from 9 to 10, but since they wouldn't admit the women, we won't tell you about it. And if I dared call our event more beautiful than the others, I might give this credit to the "We" dance at Odd Fellows Hall on Friday evening. "We" is a bevy of charming ladies including Helen Curtis, Sallie Fisher Clark, Jessie Parks, Marie Wilson, Ruth Savoy, Mayme Lewis, Ardella Parks, and several others. I'd really like to give you all the names, but Cecil had to turn our cards in so we could pass entrance muster, and Geraldyn has already wired me twice for these notes and I haven't time to call even Worth 8520. Seclng a group so representative as this one, of all the finer things in American life, always makes me want to go out and drag in the Segregationalists and say to them, "Now, do you believe it?" ```markdown ``` For surely there was food for hopeful thought in that salon of mellow light and alluring music. There was vivacious Martha Merrick Donnell, daughter of the co-founder of the North Carolina Mutual and herself the princess of Fayetteville Street, Durham. N. C. Bringing us a Vienese gown of silver sequins and glowing diamond jewelry, she was an elf-like bit of light wherever she moved. * * * There was statuesque A'Lalla Walker in a white Russian court costume with silver palanquin and deep sable flounce; there was Sallie Alexander in Gold Lame from shoulder to toe; there was pleasing Mrs. Robert Abbot, whose husband controls the Chicago Defender, in soft black velvet; there was much-traveled Emma Layton, in a gown of dull moonlight sequins and diamonds that almost put my eyes out. * * * Bessye Bearden made us all believe we were "Honey Babies", as she drifted about the hall in tones of sea green and pale violet; Bernia Austin flamed in red point d'esprit with red satin Pierrete bodices; dear Bertha Cotton was stately in twilight Lavender taffeta. * * * As to the Home-Towners—they were all radiant. Ruth Savoy, society editor of the Washington Sun, wore a fish-tail creation in American beauty of semi-period design. Ruth Wright Atwood graced an unusual gown in autumn tints of transparent velvet; Mercedes Rector brought us an Agne's gown of black, in mediaeval design with deep tulip petal extending to the floor and a mediaeval collar of golden lace. Genevieve Maxwell and Louise Young, with their picturesque and unique head dress, were lovely pictures, as usual. Bobby Scott showed what the ten inch bob would be with radiant, auburn hair. Dr. James Dowling and "Jimmy" Scott protested most violently, that nothing was ever said about the men's clothes. I was just about to approach always correct Arthur Curtis for an opinion, when along came Helen in a tinted gown of flame-colored chiffon, and burned out all my questions and ideas. --- As a crowning event of Washington's social activities for Thanksgiving week, came the exquisitely appointed luncheon and Bridge of Mrs. Emmett Jay Scott at her hospitable home, 1711 S. Street, N. W. The natural decorations of the house are old ivory and these. blendid perfectly into the day's scheme of soft rose. Dr. Scott said to me, as he took a sly peep on his way upstairs. "Mrs. Scott's house looks very nice, doesn't it?" And that kind of compliment, from the Paterfamilias, is really worth while. The guests of honor were Mrs. Theo. Hall of Chicago, and Miss Hortense Hall; Mrs. E. G. Bowden of Atlanta, and Mrs. Robert Abbot of Chicago. Gifts of beauty and charm were presented to each of these. After a delectable luncheon, the Bridge contest began, the winners in this friendly tourney being Mrs. Ernest Alexander of New York, Mrs. Arthur L. Curtis of Detroit and Washington, Mrs. Wm. H. Wilson of Washington, D. C., Mrs. J. P. Bond of Washington and Miss Thelma Houston. Mrs. A'Leila Walker Kennedy drifted in, robed in a cloud-grey ensemble and with a studded Paisley wrap that a queen might have envied. Mrs. Scott was assisted in carrying out her afternoon plan by her daughter. Mrs. Evelyn Scott Payne, and Mrs. Lenore Scott Goins and Miss Bessie Russell, Mrs. Gwendolyn Higgenbotham. Miss Alleen Harris, Mrs. Gladys Houston, Mrs. Hallie Queen Jackson. Mrs. Algernon Jackson. The guests of the day were Mrs. Harry (Bernia) Austin, Mrs. Ernest (Sallie) Alexander, Mrs. Edward (Jennie) Johnson, Mrs. Harmon (Bessye) Bearden, Mrs. Addie Hunton, Mrs. Hudson (Orville) Oliver, all of New York. Mrs. Feru Townsend of New Jersey: Mrs. Maurice Houston, Mrs. Hayden and Miss E. Hayden; Mrs. Lennou. Dr. Eddie Martin; Mrs. Burge and Miss Edna Burge; Mrs. Erma B. Davis; Mrs. M. Williams, and the following Washingtonians: Mrs. R. H. Terrell, Mrs. A. G. Hilyer, Mrs. Robt. Tessa) Connolly. Mrs. Arthur L. (Helen) Curtis, Mrs. Peter Price, Mrs. Wm.

Mrs. Baudnit, Miss Mayme Lewis, Mrs. Michel O. Dumas, Mrs. Franklin (Dickey) Fortune, Mrs. Wm. H. (Marie) Wilson, Miss Lanier Price and Mrs. Percy Bond. --- Mrs. Franklin Fortune entretained at her residence 2024 Fifteenth Street, Md. for the house guests of Mrs. Emmett J. Scott, for Mrs. Wm. Mabrey of Wilmington, Delaware and for Mrs. Carrington Davis of Baltimore. Mrs. Scotts guests were Mrs. Theo. Hall of Chicago, Miss Hortense Hall, Mrs. E. G. Bowden of Atlanta, and Mrs. Scott's two charming daughters. At eleven o'clock the gentlemen came in and supper was served. Mrs. Fortune's other guests for the evening wore: Mrs. R. H. Ferrell, Miss Phyllis Torrell, Miss Jessie Parks, Mrs. Julia McAdoo, Mrs. J. P. Bond, Mrs. Dumas, Dr. Hall. Dr. Scott. Dr. Dumas, Dr. Newman, Mr. Fortune. "Bob" Man- ce and My Waterloo, the blase scion of the Scott family—Horace. * * * Mrs. Fortune used the gold service and Venetian decoration brought by her from Europe, a year ago. * * * Mr. and Mrs. James E. Scott had as their guests Miss Zelma Watson, first Vice President of A. K. A. Sorority and Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Reid of Portsmouth, Va. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer M. Harriss entertained Mr. Archibald Alexander. Grand Polemarch of the Kappa Fraternity and Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Johnson of New York. ★ ★ ★ We noted, with regret, the absence from all functions, caused by the serious illness, of Mrs. Louise (George E. C) Hayes, Mrs. Sarah P. Speaks and Miss Ruth Howard of Washington and Cleveland. Sidelights on The Game Sidelights on The Game Come up with a smiling face. It's nothing against you to fall down flat. But to lie there—that's disgrace. The harder you fall, the higher you bounce. you bounce. Be proud of your blackened eye. It isn't so much that you've lost that counts, As how did you fight—and why? And that's our Cheerio to the gallant Lincoln team that went down in defeat before Howard. \* \* \* Too bad the players couldn't see the crowd at closer range. For that was some crowd. I don't think any student of social science who might have seen it would have doubted that we are fast developing a leisure class, appreciative of all the esthetic and cultural things of life. * * * The Tattler contest winners sat in their own well selected box with Mr. Trotter, Mr. Ried and Mr. Buttler. Thelma Yancy was radiant as Miss Tattler, Lillian Paige was a gay Miss Howard, Miss Clara Leybra as Miss Lincoln and Miss Mabel McIntosh as Miss New York were being observed by all eyes. * * * Shades of the Czar and Alexander Pushkin! Along came Roland Hayes robed in a Russian THE INTER-STATE TATTLE Queen Jackson HORTENSE HALL of Chi- --- palauquin and toque and carrying with him all the dignity of one who, the night before had sung before an enthusiastic audience, including the first Lady of the Land. The team's own Dan Brown, injured in one of the first games of the season, was brought on the field in a rolling chair, guided by loyal team-mates. *** Finley Wilson, the Grand Exalted Ruler, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, pranced in with cheery smile and hat at a devilish angle. *** Binga Dismond, the Night Hawk of New York. showed us how a mam's racoon coat ought to look and how it will look when it costs a million dollars. * * * Leslie Freeman of Chicago, taking a day off from the Appamatox Club and Epsom Downs, loaned his sophisticated present to our sleepy town. Dr. Mordecai Johnson and Dr. E. J. Scott crossed the field, obeying rules just as if they were not the whole cheese on non-football days. *** Rev. Hayes of New York slipped into his seat as unostentatiously as if he had not just refused what many a man would have almost died for—a Congressional nomination. * * * Genial Capt. Doyle of the Eighth Precint who does not govern from a swiveled chair. moved over the field waving a thin baton when he needed order and getting as much respect and obedience as if he had the mailed fist and an iron club. * * * James A. (Billboard) Jackson escorted his relatives and her mother, Miss Emma Catherine Hall. He represents the Walker Interests in Indianapolis. 幸幸幸 Dr. O. Wilson (Billy) Wintern, the Free Lance of Norristown, Pa.. came back and cheered for the team as joyously as if he didn't have on his shoulders the weight of the General Chairmanship of the Alpha Phi Alpha 1928 Reunion. And the dignity—and the brains—and the wealth—and the culture and the jazz—and the furs—and the broadcloth—and the satin—and the reptile skins! Poor little main Street, Washington, really got an eyeful at the 1928 Classic. ```markdown ``` REFINED LADY. Colored. to act as outside representative. Leads supplied.

In some respects the post-holiday jump of the death rate is not so bad. All of us must cross the Styx eventually and if a man's insurance is paid up he might as well embark while he is happy. Besides if he passes out with his cavities full of formaldehyde it will be necessary for the undertaker to embalm him and his widow can save a little on the funeral expenses. But death seldom comes in an ideal manner at an ideal time. Most of those who die from the effects of holiday booze leave their affairs in a bad way and their widows have to go to work the day after the mortal remains have been laid to rest. It is in hopes of reducing the number of such sad cases that we offer the following suggestion to the heavy drinkers of the community. Reliable information shows that most deaths are caused by liquor purchased during the last three days before the holidays. That is the time when The Chinese Have Come to Harlem ONE of the remarkable trends in the recent development of Harlem and its business and commercial life is, the great influx of the Chinese which has taken place. In a census which the writer took of the various groups comprising the Harlem community in the year 1926, he was then able to report, the presence of 93 Chinese business houses (mostly restaurants) doing business in the upper stories of the apartments, and 168 Chinese laundries doing business on the "ground floor" stores). At that time we suggested that, the Chinese were a law-abiding people, and that in so far as they were concerned, they were a credit to the community, providing the colored people had made up their minds that the existence of these Chinese should be temporary (at last in the laundry business). ing a photographer's shop; two engaged in operating a cabaret, and five engaged in selling silks and other merchandise. Now it is not the fact that, these Chinese are engaged in the business other than restaurants which alarms us but it is first, the fact that, they have gone in for "American food" in addition to their Chinese food, thereby seriously entering into competition with the colored American eating places. Then too, the laundries are operated strictly by Chinese. Only in four places did we find any colored workmen employed in the Chinese laundries. The Chinese restaurants, although catering to the colored American, by cooking American food, has failed to employ any colored Americans as cooks, waiters, cashiers and other kinds of help. In times past, the Chinese restaurants occupied the second, and in some cases the third stories of the apartment house; to-day they are on the ground floor. Being on the ground floor, means that There were 5 Chinese operating real they are actual competitors of the estate business in Harlem; three operat- American plan restaurants; it means We had then hoped that, the colored people who had always been noted for the conduct of laundries, all of their lives, would commence a series of invasions in the laundry industry, which would eventually serve to drive the Chinese and the other allen laundry owners from the confines of Harlem. We held little hope at that time that, the Colored Harlemite might invade the "Chop Suey" field, but we certainly had hoped for the complete monopoly by the Negroes of the laundry business. This was in 1926. Since that time we had observed the increase of the Chinese, and we have just completed another Census of the Orientals. There are now 189 Chop Suey places from 119th Street, to 149th Street, employing an average of seven Chinese, and three hundred and seventy-one laundries, each employing an average of 3 Chinese. This would give us a total of 2436 Chinese in the laundries and restaurants. Phone: Edgecombe 6661. Entered as second-class year. Vol. IV. No. 49. Friday. Dec. 7, 1928 ncoln Feature as Drinking Early the normal supply has been exhausted by the unusual demand and the dealers, eager to cash in on the holiday trade. begin to mix their beverages of anything they can buy from the wholesale druggist or the paint shop. The way to steer clear of this deluge of poison booze is not to buy any liquor at all between the 20th of December and the 10th of January. Let the suspenders you're going to buy for Uncle Harry and the garters you have on your list for Aunt Mary wait till Christmas Eve and lay in your supply of good honest bathtub liquor now. If you buy your presents now and your liquor later you may not be able to see those garters when Aunt Mary puts them on. Of course the safest way of all is not to buy any liquor at all at any time. But not many people in this part of the town are going to make that noble experiment. If you are one of the few with will power enough to confine your drinking to buttermilk and Coca Cola, Bully for you. But if you are one of the vast majority who just must have hard stuff, take our tip and buy your Christmas booze early. Otherwise the fellow who has his eye on your wife or your sweetie may be referring to you as the dear departed sooner than he expects. --- Pictures are our Long Forte-Mail in interesting Group Photos. that, they have been planning these changes, for years, while the colored American has been asleep. It is useless to remind the colored American that, the presence of nearly three thousands of a people in his midst without their own women, is a menace to the racial solidarity which is so needed in the struggle of the colored American, in the United States. Remember that, the Chinese have no women with them. The entire Chinese population in Harlem is, a male population. It is a biological fact that, wherever men reside they must have women—if they have no women present of their own they must engage the attention and the service of the women, in the community where they reside, for biological purposes. --- Now what are we going to do about it? Well the colored American has not taken opportunity by the horns. He has failed to organize business organizations, to meet these situations; he does not even take notice of the changes which go on in his community. The Chinese have three organizations. One for meeting legal problems, another for the organization of business capital, and another for making arrangements to obtain housing, education, and hospitalization. These organizations meet, at stated times. A certain West Indian of Chinese origin, tells the writer that, the Harlem Negro and his stupidity if the constant subject of discussion at these meetings of the Chinese organizations. "RACE PREJUDICE" Our mind forces are often bound by the paralyzing suggestions that come to us from crude thinking on the Race Problem, which we accept into our thoughts and act upon without questions. Impressions of fear, worry, disability and inferiority are given us daily. These are sufficient reasons in themselves why the people of our race achieve so little— Why the lives of multitudes are so barren of results, while all the time there are possibilities within them which need only the liberating touch of appreciation, and wholesome ambition to expand into real greatness.

By WILLIAM SMITH APPROXIMATELY two thousand Harlem's dance lovers, journeyed to Rockland Palace, Thanksgiving night to help make "Whoopee", and enjoyed an evening of perfect bliss that was assured them by the popular Four F's Club at their mammoth ball and reception. Talk about running wild with jubilation, they did and howl If you were not there, it's too bad, but then, everybody can't be everywhere, and those who were there will tell you what a wonderful evening of hilarious joy and mirth that was had by the Club's guests and friends. Really folks, when it comes to seeing that everyone had a good time, "you gotter hand it" to those Four F members—they were the alligat- or's tan, and I don't mean maybe. The happy celebrants were reluctant to leave when the band played "Home, Sweet Home." Joy and overflowing happiness combined with popular musical numbers dispenced by the one and only John C. Smith's Orchestra made this affair a memorable one in the lives of those who were fortunate enough to be present. A galaxy of stars from several of the Night Clubs and Theatres, contributed largely to the evening's entertainment. Among them were Eddie Rector, Bobby Banks, members of the "Tip Top Revue" which played the Lincoln last week, Ernest Whittman, Dusty Fletcher, and Billie Yarbo. A few of the clubs holding boxes were "Sultans", fair members of the Four F's Auxiliary, King Bee Social Club, Social Rounders, Jolly Fellows, and several other prominent clubs. The Club's personnel are Monk Bramlett, President; Ernest Fox, Vice-President; Maurice Calhoun, Secretary; Lawrence Bailey, Rec.

Eddie Rector and Ralph Cooper, two old favorites who have been away from home two years or more, return in tri- umph. Their offering is one of the best that has appeared here in a good many months. From start to finish the enter- tainment is good, very, very good but marred here and there with one or two smutty or suggestive cracks that could easily be omitted. This is particularly true of Cooper's story about the lady who had to be vaccinated. ; Billy Higgins and Alex Lovejoy give their audience plenty of op- portunities to laugh, They sure are two amusing entertainers.

Trailing the Spotlight By THEOPHILUS LEWIS Bad Girl is week the malt man has failed to briny like the flaming epistie recently received nes and published In the last issue of tt ave received a rather embarrassing request ones of Baltimore. Miss Jones writes In Bad ori S° far this week the mali man has failed to bring any love letters like the flaming epistie recently received from Mr. William Jones and published In the fast issue of this column. Instead | have received a rather embarrassing request from Miss Margaret Jones of Baltimore. Miss Jones writes In to ask for “all the information concerning the colored actors and actresses who have entered the Vitaphone, Movietone and froxtone acts of the past six months.” E Really, Miss Jones, you should not be like that. Ever since the Initial appearance of this column | have been posing as a smart fellow and getting away with it. Now you have to come and ask me a question | cannot answer. Pretty soon you will have everybody thinking I'm a dumbbell. You ask for all the information concerning the performers who have appeared in talkies. I cannot give you even half the information concerning these performers. The best |! can. do _ig to give you the names of a scant half dozen or so. To the best of my knowledge and belief the latest colored actor to break into the talkies was George Washington Dewey. He Is doing his stuff for Vitaphone. They tell me that Movietone and Foxtone are really one concern. It has quite a few colored actors on Its pay roll but the only ones | can name are Honey Brown, Fanny De Knight, Samuel Gray and Daniel Haynes. Charles Gilpin and Caroline Calloway have also been engaged for the talkies but | do not know the company they have con- tracted with. From now on, Miss Jones, go a little easy on a poor boy that’s only trying to get ahead In the world. ee Se ee ee ee Oe Ee eee ne | LEARN TO DANCE: | Dancing Is a Necessity.

Owoing to a heavy cold and an irritated throat which made talking almost impossible above a whisper, Bill Robinson was not able to aid us last Monday night (Nov. 26tn) week past. Bill was to have been master-of-ceremonies at the Tattler's "Queen Of The Classic Party" at the Savoy, but had to be taken home on leaving the Eltings Theatre, where he is starring in Leslie's "Black Birds". Johnny Hudgins, also of the "Birds", just did make it as he too was ill, suffering from the after effects of an extracted tooth. And Maude Russell, the "Slim Princess" starring in "Just A Minute" came but was also troubled with her throat and had to be excused. --- Lew Leslie's.

Little Aurora Greely sent us a number of photos that are "Just Too Bad". We're sure going to use one next week. --- Miss Paige, Lillian Paige, is the author of the second communication. Here's Miss Paige's letter if you please: 2566 Seventh Ave. New York City., Dec. 3. Bennie Butler, Theatrical Editor, Inter-State Tattler. 2296 Seventh Ave. New York City. My Dear Sir: Please be so kind as to thank through the columns of your valuable publication, Johnny Hudgins, Henry Drake, Aubrey Neal and Miss Aurora Greely who were so kind in aiding me in the Tattler's 'Queen of the Classic Popularity Contest." As you know I won second place but this would not have been possible had it not been for the four people I have named. Between them they gave me a million votes, each taking out a five year subscription for the Tattler. As you know, Mr. Hudgins is a Baltimorian by birth and I rejoiced when he demonstrated his love for his native city by supporting me (also of Baltimore), because I represented that city. Mr. Drake and Miss Greely, I feel, came to my aid because I was a member of the theatrical profession and they wanted to see a theatrical girl win. And I think Mr. Neal felt the same way, he being the leader of a night club band. Miss Greely as many people know, is one of our best soubrettes. I would love to see our people support Mr. Drake in his big venture. He is the only Negro in this big city operating a musical comedy theatre and we certainly should support him. The Drake and Walker Theatre at 211 West 125th Street is offering very good shows at much lower prices than at other houses. And Mr. Drake is certainly entitled to the support of his own race. He is a true raceman and never refuses to aid his colored brethern whenever he can. I also wish to thank the entire Tattler force for the splendid way the "Queen of the Classic Contest" was conducted. Miss Thelma Yancy was a very lovely queen and I am sure everybody felt proud of her as I did. I enjoyed the visit to Washington and the game and words fail me in trying to express my gratitude for the courteous and gallant way in which you, Mr. Trotter and Mr. Reid escorted us to Washington. I am a staunch friend of the Tattler and will always advocate its cause. Trusting you all will enjoy the coming holidays, I remain. (Signed, MISS LILLIAN PAIGE.

True Story --- Living in Harlam is one of the most prominent colored real estate broker in America. Residing alone in a huge apartment, this lordly gont has a strange pet. An him home companion—even sleeping in his room with him—is a pure white Russian wolfhound. With the broker, this wolf is an docile an lumb. If he has guests, however, the broker can never leave them alone unless the wolfhound is chained. For, the moment his master leavens him alone with another human, he becomes mad with the instinct to kill. --- Riding through the park one morning with the broker, the wolfhound, slipped from the ear and run along the walk. He nonchalantly passed a nurse with twins in a baby carriage and growled while showing his tooth. But through a miracle, the wolfhound harmed no one and was finally caught by a policeman who had no idea what he was handling. Since the wolfhound had no muzzle the cop slipped the broker's chauffeur a ticket. --- "The next morning in court, a representative of the broker ploughed guilty to the charge of pernitting a DOG to run about without a muzzle, paid the $5 fine and left the court with a smile. When the broker's wife (who is living apart from her peculiar spouse) read the story who telegraphed to the judge: "That WOLF in the cause of me leaving home stop he is no DOG and I want him DPORTEED." Now the cops are searching high and low for the broker and his pet wolfhound. 1 4 ```markdown ``` --- Nat Holman's Stars Lose To Renaissance BLAZING THE TRAIL Alvin J.

Sullivan, sports editor of the "Graphic", vindicated us in our lone fight carried on the past six weeks to place Dave Myers of N.Y. University on the Eastern star team selected by expert gridiron pickers. There has been a disposition on the part of certain scribes since the passing of the dean of them all,—"Walter Camp" to sidetrack colored players in choosing an "All American", 'All Eastern', or ALL ANYTHING.

Listen to what these well known scribes to you, have to say:- Excerpt from Gallico's column anent Myers:-- "We go far afield for our two guards and place there Dave Myers, the fine colored star of the Violet, also known as N. Y. U., and Hammack who plays that position for the team representing the United States Military Academy at West Point. Myers is a fine running guard who acts as part of the N. Y. U. interference." "We go far afield for our two guards and place the fine colored star of the Violet, also known as N. Y. U. jack who plays that position for the team represented by the Military Academy at West Point.

Rickard Needs George Godfrey WHEN the boxing fans stayed away from the recent bout in huge numbers, and made it plain to Texa didn't sell them something they didn't want, they promoted in the bankroll, but they also strippe dmu New York State Boxing Commission. Previous to that financial flasco, every boxer in the get into a ring just off Broadway. To them New Y he rainbow where the not of gold awaited them, and WHEN the boxing fans stayed away from the recent Tunney-Heeney bout in huge numbers, and made it plain to Tex Rickard that he couldn't sell them something they didn't want, they not only socked the promoter in the bankroll, but they also strippe dmuch prestige from the New York State Boxing Commission. Previous to that financial flasco, every boxer in the country aimed to get into a ring just off Broadway. To them New York was the end of the rainbow where the pot of gold awaited them, and to get into the bad graces of the Empire State boxing fathers was a disaster indeed. But the Tunney-Heeney bout, coming on top of the McLarnin-Mandell ruin, and combined with financial failures of Fugazy shows in Brooklyn, convinced the boxing fraternity that New York was not so hot after all, and they commenced to look upon other fertile fields, Rickard is in an awkward position. It is his lead, and he has nothing in his hand but deuces. His public is demanding that something be done about the heavyweight situation, and unless he can bring Dempsey out of retirement he hasn't a chance. The best heavyweight material today is not at Rickard's disposal—which is largely Tex's own fault. He has taken a definite stand against dusky heavyweights, although he draws the color line in no other division. That removes from his field the greatest modern fighter, George Godfrey, as well as Big Bill Hartwell and Al Walker. Tommy Loughran has been eliminated, insofar as Rickard is concerned, by the ultimatum served upon Sir Thomas that he must give up his light heavyweight championship if he desires to compete as a heavy. Of course Loughran refuses to let the New York Commission dictate to him. Chances are that if they once got that 175-pound title away from Thomas they would let him whistle for a chance at the big plum, Uscudun is another rebel who nurses the quaint theory that a fighter's business is to fight and not play static politics. He will fight for any promoter anywhere if paid his price. Thus Rickard is left with Jack Sharkey, another first-fight contender. Jack is an erratic inandouter, and furthermore, Rickard has no one to match him with except Risko—and he tried that last winter with disastrous results, for in that bout he boys eliminated themselves, THE FIELD CAPTAIN ROSS of Howard University and MARTIN of Lincoln in a hearty handclap just before the whistle blew starting the Annual Thanksgiving Day Classic" Verdell Northwestern Ace "Lightning" Verdell, Colored end of Northwestern University, rates a place on the mythical "All American".

C. in Harlem, Saturday night. Canzoneri has taken to the woods ever since his battle with the Frenchman and is coming back a stronger and more confident boxer than ever before. The Williamshurgh Italian has never offered an alibi for his defeat at the hands of Routis and, for reasons of his own, will shift the subject when he is asked if he has any excuse to make. He does admit, however, that the first time he meets Charles in the ring the crown will revert right back to his brow.

Ruth Savoy, society editor of the Washington Sun, wore a fishtail creation in American beauty of semi-period design. Ruth Wright Atwood graced an unusual gown in autumn tints of transparent velvet; Mercedes Rector brought us an Agne's gown of black, in mediaeval design with deep tulip petal extending to the floor and a mediaeval collar of golden lace.

"Mrs. Scott's house looks very nice, doesn't it?" And that kind of compliment, from the Paterfamilias, is really worth while. The guests of honor were Mrs. Theo. Hall of Chicago, and Miss Hortense Hall; Mrs. E. G. Bowden of Atlanta, and Mrs. Robert Abbot of Chicago. Gifts of beauty and charm were presented to each of these. After a delectable luncheon, the Bridge contest began, the winners in this friendly tourney being Mrs. Ernest Alexander of New York, Mrs. Arthur L. Curtis of Detroit and Washington, Mrs. Wm. H. Wilson of Washington, D. C., Mrs. J. P. Bond of Washington and Miss Thelma Houston. Mrs. A'Leila Walker Kennedy drifted in, robed in a cloud-grey ensemble and with a studded Paisley wrap that a queen might have envled. Mrs. Scott was assisted in carrying out her afternoon plan by her daughter. Mrs. Evelyn Scott Payne, and Mrs. Lenore Scott Goins and Miss Bessie Russell, Mrs. Gwendolyn Higgenbotham, Miss Alleen Harris, Mrs. Gladys Houston, Mrs. Hallie Queen Jackson. Mrs. Algernon Jackson.

It's nothing against you to fall down flat down flat, But to lie there—that's disgrace. The harder you fall, the higher you bounce. Be proud of your blackened eye. It isn't so much that you've lost that counts. that counts, As how did you fight—and why? And that's our Cheerio to the gallant Lincoln team that went down in defeat before Howard. * * * Too bad the players couldn't see the crowd at closer range. For that was some crowd. I don't think any student of social science who might have seen it would have doubted that we are fast developing a leisure class, appreciative of all the esthetic and cultural things of life. ** The Tattler contest winners sat in their own well selected box with Mr. Trotter, Mr. Ried and Mr. Buttler. Thelma Yancy was radiant as Miss Tattler, Lillian Paige was a gay Miss Howard, Miss Clara Leybra as Miss Lincoln and Miss Mabel McIntosh as Miss New York were being observed by all eyes. * * * Shades of the Czar and Alexander Pushkin!

EBLON THE WEEKLY NEWS A group of the home girls and boys from surrounding universities were home for the holidays and all in all we had a very full week in "Dear Old K. C." Society's headline hospitality this week was the beautiful buffet supper given by the charming Mrs. Frank Mayes at her home, 1215 E. 23rd Street, complimenting Mrs. Caddie Lawson who left for a residence in Los Angeles, California. Her home was a symphony in yellow. The house was attractively decorated with chrysanthenums of this hue, and their beauty was enhanced by a background of Autumn leaves, ferns and other greenery. The Buffet and Table were covered with beautiful Italian linen lace cloths, softly lighted candles, a large silver basket filled with chrysanthenums carried out the color scheme. A delicious menu, with courses and ices blended to meet the same attractive shades was served as follows: Crab meat ??? with cocktails. Chicken croquettes with creamed mushroom sauce—baked apples stuffed with sweet potatoes, creamed green beans, fruit salad, cheese souffle, baked "Alaska," hot rolls, mints, nuts and coffee—and some more "cocktails." The guests were: Mesdames Felix Payne, Roy Barker, Sam Montgomery, Corrinne Wilson, Bernard Brooks Sallie Jackson, Nellie Young, Clara Wesley, Ruby Lockhart, Bessie E. Eblon, Verleta Thompson, A. D. Harts, St. Joseph, Mo., and Frankie Miles. Mrs. Mays was assisted by Mesdames Clifford Jackson, Harry Reed, Frank Oliver and Alice Harrington. After supper special features were given by Mesdames Sam Montgomery, Corrinne Wilson, Henry Reed and Felix Payne. Thanksgiving day was a very full day for the social elites, with dinners ar. theatre parties; it finally ended at the Annual Thanksgiving dance given by the "Beau Brummels," a club made up of some of Kansas City's popular young men. The entire Dreamland Hall, where the dance was given, was decorated with the club colors blue and white, and old man Turkey Gobbler himself as a center decoration was in a crate looking just as unconcerned as though he was still in "ye 'ole barnyard." The music was wonderful and "we" did have a good time. Old man Gobbler was raffled off and Mr. A. D. Brookes, mail clerk, Kansas Side, held the lucky number and escorted "Sir Turkey" home. Everybody left proclaiming the "Beau Brummels" the host of hosts. The out-of-town guests were Mr. Albert N. Gaines New York; Judge W. C. Huestons, Gary, Indiana, guest of the Eblons; Mrs. Celeste Bennett, Los Angeles, Cal.; Mr. and Mrs. George Bell, Chicago; Miss Dixie Ingram, Portland, Ore.; Misses Reese and Ransome, Topeka, Kansas.

Marsden honoring Mrs. Marsden's brother, Mr. George Bell, and Mrs. Bell of Chicago at the palatial residence on the Paseo of Dr. and Mrs. L. U. Miller. Friday. December 7. 1928 *** * * * WELL, Thanksgiving has been here and gone again. With sweet memories of Turkey, mince pie essence, and other 'goodness'. There were dinners, dances and "after parties" galore. "We" dined and danced and danced and dined until the wee hours of the "morn." We had quite a few clever visitors for the week-end, which help to liven things up. A number of Kansas Citians motored to various points east to attend any one of the games at Cleveland, Hampton or Washington. Also a few motored South.

Address Jackie Nobile, Editor of Lonesome Hearts Column, Inter-State Tattler. ? "If you had no one near you Who would try to cheer you, You'd be lonesome, too." (It is interesting to study the many diseases with which the human race is afflicted. The stranger below suffers from restless feet) "I read your column in the Tattler and became very interested. Being a stranger here, I thought you might help me. I have been here four weeks and haven't met the first girl, so it's getting dull and lonesome without a girl for a pal. She must be good looking—I'm not so bad myself! "I like to go to the movies and I might add that I come from Cleveland, Ohio, where good dancers are— I mean where ball room dancers are born, and my feet are getting restless. I am 22, light brown, 5 ft., 9, weigh 165, and a lover of all sports." * * * ("Listen" is the command that I must, by the very nature of things, obey). "Listen, Jackie, I wonder if you could find a girl for me. I am good looking, brown skin and 28 years old, 6 ft. tall and weigh 169 lbs. Listen, Jackie, see if you can't find me a brownskin, about 28, weight around 155. Listen, Jackie, do what you can for me, because I am a stranger here. My home is in Atlanta, Ga., and I am a barber by trade." * * * (Will gentleman desiring to enter the blissful state of matrimony please read carefully the following: "Widow 40—looks 30 or less—5 ft., 6 in., 143 lbs., dark brown. Would like to correspond with a gentleman having good habits, loving and nice disposition. Object matrimony." (One of my correspondents writes me that the gentleman who answered her letter was not only married but was looking for money. I therefore insert her communication again). "I would like for you to try and locate a nice man for me—one who is single and lonesome also. I am a widow 39 years old. Would like a man around 45. He must be good natured, brownskin and a good worker; one who would be a friend and companion to me. I am a churchworker and work steady; hence am not a gold digger. Jackie, if you could make me happy, I would be so thankful." * * * (Be good enough to make yourself plain in your letters to me. The letter below simply says by way of description, "would like to correspond with a young lady that wants a man 25." The best way to do is to clip a letter from the Tattler and enclose it in your letter.) "I have been reading your column and think it is a wonderful thing. I am lonesome and would like to correspond with a young lady that wants a man 25. I am tall, light brownskin, 5 ft. 4. Am a very good dancer both on the stage and also the ballroom. Am a cook by trade." (I am indeed grateful for words of commendation.) "I commend you on the splendid work you are doing for the lonely hearts. Your column is rather diverting and I persue it with intense interest. More power to you! I am nineteen, attractive dark brown skin, petite and have a good education. Would like to correspond with a wellbred young man between 22 and 32. Must have a pleasant personality and a fine sense of humor; also a liberal education, fond of sports, literature, music, interested in the drama and have writing ability. Good looks non-essential but appreciated. What is para- mount is a good character. I am not interested in jazz types, beau brummels or conceited fops. I am about fed up on them." * * * (Gentleman asks the favor of finding him a nice young lady willing to keep his company.) "I am very lonesome and would be very glad if you will grant me a favor. Would like young lady, nice looking, about 20. I am 27, 5 ft. 11, and a chauffeur; also a dancer." (Two girl buddles want to pal with two buddles.) "We are two pals longing for a friendship with two pals. That is two fellows who would understand us. My pal is five feet, five; so am I. We are brownskin. My pal is seventeen, I am eighteen. People say we have it. Lovers of all kinds of sport. Would like two pals (if possible), must be between the ages of 19 and 25, good to look at, around five feet six or nine, nifty dressers and a car if possible. Please help us, Jackie, as we are very lonesome. * * * (Will some kind lady answer my call?) I am 31 years old, 5 ft. $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches, 140 lbs., dark brown skin;; born in the sunny South. Want a female pal who will be a real pal to me: I have a nice disposition and am real affectionate. Will some kind lady answer my call? I now await the answer." (I am indebted to the Windy Ch for the interesting note below.) "Thanks to your column for this little lady's address or at least facts about herself. Your column to me may mean much. Please forward the enclosed note to my unknown, prospective girl friend." --- (Cheer is considered one of the divine attributes. Here is a young man who desires to dispense it.) "Knowing what it means to be lonesome, I am willing to correspond with any young ladies, friendly of course, between the ages of 18 and 20 years. I am fair, passable, I hope, 23 years old, 5 ft. 11 inches and weigh 140 lbs. Like shows, sports. Willing to exchange photos. I hope I can cheer someone." * * * (Everyone is anxious of course to see his or her letter in the Tattler but I do hope that the correspondents will realize that turns must be awalted.) "Would like to meet some real girl friends. Have just arrived in New York from Atlantic City and am thinking of remaining here. I am a medium brownskin, 21 years of age, 5 ft. 10, and weigh 158 lbs. Am fond of all sports, dancing; play the piano. Will somebody be a pal? By the way, Jack, do you think that I could get in touch with Miss K. Nolsette of Atlantic City? I recognized her picture in the Tattler." * * * (Another young man from the inside desires to correspond with some young lady near his own age.) "I am 23 years old, Catholic, 5 ft. 9, weigh 135. Am under an unfortunate star at present, being shut out from the world in a Jersey penal institution. Would like young person to correspond with me." Moving?

Harlem, there is really no place I’ve been where folks know how to have a Jam up time better than in Washington, D. C. You can talk of your western classic between Wilberforce and West Virginia, your southern classic between Atlanta and Clark or any classic you have— to my mind there is more fun and enjoyment per minute packed into the week-end of a Howard-Lincoln game tj,an in all the rest put to- eether. To Improve my having a good time -I left early Tuesday. 4nd stopped over in Baltimore long enough to see Lincoln University ‘beat the Debating Team of Oxford University of England. In def- erence to their English opponents the outcome of the debate was decided by a vote from the audience which Is the British custom. The tally read Lin- eoin*145,.-Oxford 105. -Thurgood -Mar- stall’ was the. outstanding of the Lin- coln Debaters but:-1t was due to :the-able assistance given him by his team-mates, Frank De Costa and Colden Brown, that Lincoln was able to defeat their British rivals. * * * * Of course in Washington everyone was talking football but there were other things to take one’s mind from the im- pending encounter, Wednesday night, the Batchelor’s and the Chi Delta Mu Formals were the places to go and there everyone was. Both affairs had their quota of beautifully gowned wom- en and handsome men... - --/* * Turkey Day found everyone up early > attend the Breakfast Dance at the Colonade. There.one met all the peo- ple he ever knew and more he hadn't known before. Hot music, wonderful women, spirits, Nquid and otherwise— what more can mortal want here below. And there the game! Although my boys lost they went down like the game beast that is their symbol. The Bison stomped and bellowed but the Lion fell only: when his claws had been dulled and his teeth broken. Howard won, yes, but Lincoln made her know she was In a football game. * + * Thanksgiving night all Lincoln and Howard attended the dance on the hill for the teams. Was it crowded, oh my, but it was nice. Everyone in the world was there and it seemed as if the crowd at the game was transported bod- fly and dropped down in Dining Hall. The Bison may have won in the after- noon but that evening the Lion was in power socially. Mirror Hall was crowd- ed with Lincolnites and I saw several Howard boys running toward the res- ervoir saying nasty things about the LincoIn Hne. To insure that a plentiful supply of enjoyment could be crowded in twenty- four short hours the members of Phi Delta Kappa gave a dawn dance. De- spite the size of the hall everyone crowded into the Club De Luxe. If the number of people attending an affair is any, indication of a success, the dawn dance was a wow. sess And of course everyone was at the Omega Dance’ and the International dance given by Kappa ‘Alpha: Psi The White Brothers Orchestra carried on at both affairs and they are really too hot for words. Too hot is tame, they're torrid. I really would love to import them into Harlem where there is a dearth of good orchestras. So it was the same story over ‘again at these two affairs. Good music, lovely women and all the other things that go to make a dance a success. ‘ sf @ The Pollyannas affair closed the fes- tivities except for house parties at the fraternity houses and in the homes of numerous Washingtonians. From what 1 hear the Pollyannas was just too bad and_I'm sorry that I was unable to at- tend. % soo 8 At the wonderful new Alpha Frat house a party was given for the visit- ing brothers Saturday evening. If it was anything Uke the old Backbiters’ affairs it was too bad. The beauty of the furnishings need not be described since they were so beautifully told in the Washington column last week. Suf- fice it then to say that theywere with- out equal in any similar organization anywhere in the country. * * * Sunday found almost the whole of Lincol# in Baltimore. .Julle Martin, U. S. Tate and many others were around siving the girls in the monumental city their well known lines, Morgan and Howard both tuke back seats whenever Lincoln enters Baltimore. * * * “Mighty Puss’ Williams has_ estab- lished’ a record for consuming an untold quantity of corn. Puss started right before’ the game and ended up way late Sunday nite. “Ossie’’ Thomas did pretty well him: self along the “tank” lime, Artie was carrying a liquid load Friday that was tons and tons in weight. * * In fact the “Old Billiard Drinkers” carried on in rare form throughout the holidays, Wherever bad likker can be obtained there you'll find this gang building up an immunity against it by imbibing untold quantities’ of the bever- age. x ° es es @ : It certainly was a pleasure to greet Ted Valentine, fresh from .the hills of North Carolina.

Coles re- turned the ball 10 yards before be- ing tackled by Douglas. Howard uncovered a consistent offensive and made four first downs in succes- sion which planted the pigskin on Lincoln’s 15 yard line. Here, the Lions. aided by a five yard penalty held for downs. Lamar kicked out of danger to midfield. Howard started another offens- ive. Alternating off tackle plays with a deceptive aerial attack with Marshall and Payne carrying the ball, the Bisons marched again to the s},adow of Lincoln’s goal only to lose the ball on a fumble. Lamar booted again past midfield. Coles returned the kick to Lincoln’s 10 yard line. Lincoln fumbled on the first play. Howard recovered as quarter closed. 2nd Quarter Howard returned the compli- ment by fumbling on first play. After an interchange of punts, Ho- ward started a great offensive from Lincoln’s 33 yard line. A twelve yard pass Marshall to Coles was ruled successful because of inter- ference with the receiver. Marshall eut through center for 8 yards. He hit the same spot for two more and first down. Coles skidded off left tackle for 6 points. Payne’s try for the extra point by drop kick route was block- ed. The only thrill producer for the Lion during this quarter was a beautiful 35 yard off tackle run by Martin, Lincoln Captain:- Martin squirmed and twisted throug}, the entire Howard team and was brought down by Payne, Howard's safety man who stood between him and glory. ° — . .
