The Howard University items, totaling $368,000, were stricken from the Interior Department appropriation bill Wednesday afternoon, December 15, upon points of order made against each of them by Representative B. G. Lowery, Democrat, of Mississippi. The three items stricken were for salaries, $150,000; general expenses, $68,000, and for the construction of an additional dormitory building for young women. Mr. Lowery made the point of order that an appropriation to Howard University is not authorized by law. His points of order were sustained and the items were stricken from the Interior Department appropriations bill. Representative Louis C. Crampton, Republican, of Michigan, in charge of the Interior Department appropriation bill, appealed to Representative Lowery to withhold his point of order and not make it as to the paragraph providing for the construction of a new dormitory for girls. Mr. Lowery refused. A bill authorizing appropriations to Howard University was passed by the House on July 1 last, the closing day of the first session, but it was impossible for the Senate to pass it before adjournment. This bill is still pending in the Senate. While the House had under consideration the Interior Department appropriation 'bill last' Saturday, two Southern Democratic members of Congress engaged in a debate on the question of Federal appropriations to Howard University. They were Representatives B. G. Lowery, of Mississippi who opposed it and Thomas L. Blanton, of Texas, who defended it. Georgia Senator Protests Ben Davis' Power Chafing, under the distribution of Federal patronage in the The debate was precipitated in the general discussion of the bill when Representative Lowery attacked the items appropriating the sum of $368,000 to Howard University. He declared that such an amount was equivalent to about 5 per cent on an endowment of $7,000,000 and that no institution for white people in Mississippi had an endowment of one-tenth of that amount. Mr. Lowery also said that the proposed Howard University appropriation was about one-third larger than the appropriation for the Bureau of Education and as large as the combined appropriation for the Bureau of Education and the Institution for Deaf in the District of Columbia. The Mississippi congressman proposed that funds for the maintenance and operation of Howard University be raised by an appeal to American philanthropy. "Regardless of politics," said Representative Blanton, "the Negro has found out that the southern man is his most friend. They come to us for everything they really want; they do not go to their other brethren; they come to us because they know that we are their friends. We can not afford to turn them down nor to turn their university down. That is my position." The Interior Department appropriation bill, making appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1926, was reported to the House by the committee on appropriations December 10. This bill carried items for Howard University totaling $368,000, an increase of $150,000 over the appropriation for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1927. After having fatally shot Blackwell during an altercation in the Half Street Court address, Fred Jackson, alias "Knocky," fled to the home of his uncle in Collington, Md. When he read in the newspapers that Blackwell had died, Jackson told the police, he decided to give himself up. He and his uncle went to High Bridge, Md., Tuesday, and Jackson had his uncle to telephone the local police headquarters that Jackson would return to Washington on the 2:15 or :15 p.m. Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis electric train to surrender. This increase in the Howard University appropriation represents an amount proposed for a new dormitory building for girls. Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, president of Howard university, told the subcommittee of the House appropriations committee, which held hearings on the Interior Department appropriation bill in November, that a new dormitory for women is indispensable. He said that there were 634 women registered in the university in the last school year. Of this number, he stated. 378 came from outside the District of Columbia and normally ought to have had rooms on the university campus. Fearing that he would change his mind, Detective H. E. Brodie with Jack Wolfe, a driver of a police headquarters automobile, set out to meet the train at Chesapeake junction. They yarrived in time to see the train pull away. With the siren screaming, Wolfe raced the train, which did not stop until it neared Fifteenth and H Streets, (Continued on page 2) "Of these 378 women," President Johnson declared, "195 were crowded into our present dormitories, in some cases four women to a small room under conditions in which it was difficult to sustain modesty and individuality.

Chase Train Washington Tribune 1 HOWARD UNIVERSITY· HOWARD UNIVERSITY SESQUICENTENIAL EXPO AWARDS A GOLD MEDAL TO HOWARD UNIVERSITY A letter has just been received by Emory B. Smith, alumni and field secretry of the university, from the jury of awards of the Sesquicentennial Exposition notifying that the international jury of awards of the Sesquicentennial Exposition has awarded Howard a gold medal for promoting the higher education of the Negro. The letter also stated that a diploma of award was being prepared and will be ready the early part of the coming year. This marks the culmination of an endeavor on the part of Howard University to cooperate to the fullest extent in the promotion of the exposition. The exhibit consisted of a booth of special design, equipped with pictures, literature, and statuary emblematic of the founding and development of the institution. One notable feature of the exhibit was a thousand-foot moving picture film of campus life, with an historical prologue, concluding with comments of three presidents of the United States. The exhibit was prepared by a committee, consisting of Professor Walter Dyson, of the department of history; Professor James V. Herring, of the art department; and Emory B. Smith as chairman. The booth was strategically located in the midst of many other colleges, and had the distinction of being the only representative of the District of Columbia in the Palace of Education. Howard's location at Washington and its support by the Federal government made the exhibit an object of both national and international interest. The exhibit represented the great field of Negro education, as indicated in the words of President Coolidge: 'Howard University is but one of the many institutions which have grown up in this country, dedicated to the purpose of preserving one of the races of men and fitting it for its largest usefulness.' Hampton Institute Gets a Similar Award Hampton Institute of Virginia gets a similar award.

(Preston News Service.)—Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones was inaugurated fifth president of Fisk University before one hundred representatives of American colleges and universities, headed by President J. R. Angell, of Yale, Friday, in a four-day program. Following a number of distinguished speakers, Tuesday morning, including President Angell of Yale, Chancellor J. H. Kirkland, of Vanderbilt University, the young president closed his remarks with these words: "On the basis of past experience and future possibilities, let us go forward as a holy experiment in brotherhood achievement not by force of arms, but by sound and broad education." William Howard Taft, former president of the United States and now chief justice of the Supreme Court. Mrs. Mary Fisk Park, daughter of General Clinton B. Fisk, for whom the university is named; Lyman Beecher Stowe, grandson of Harriett Beecher Stowe; Harry Emerson Fosdick, and S. Sawada, counsel to the Japanese embassy, among those who sent personal messages of congratulation upon the occasion of the formal installation of Doctor Jones. President Angell of Yale, speaking on "America's faith in condition," said, "America, it might justly be said, has a real passion for education. It has been said that it is the religion of this country. A demurese cannot hope to succeed where education is not widely spread, and where leaders are not trained in this educational system." and printed in sepia, were framed in brown oak, and were hung in panels on the wall, while a standard carrying pictures and charts occupied the other side wall.

THOMAS IS REPRIMANDED; TOO MANY DEBTS The Board of Education at its meeting at Franklin School Wednesday afternoon approved a report of the committee on complaints and grievances made by Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, its chairman, recommending that Charles M. Thomas, a teacher in the Armstrong Technical High School, be reprimanded "for his ill-advised practices in accumulating debts" and gave him until October 1, 1927 to produce a certified evidence of his progress in meeting present obligations. Professor Thomas incurred the displeasure of the administrative officers of the 'public schools because he did nothing to prevent the strike of students at Armstrong Technical High School in last January. Mr. Thomas was the sponsor of the Students' Council which called the strike when the students learned that it was proposed to demote Captain Arthur C. Newman from the principalship. After an investigation Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson reported to the board that Mr. Thomas did not exercise the measure of control and correction that is expected of persons in authority. Mr. Thomas was removed from the sponsorship of the Students' upon the demand of the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett that the board take some punitive action. May be Reprimanded After the report of the committee on complaints and grievances had been approved, H. B. Learned insisted that Mr. Thomas be called to appear before the board and be publicly reprimanded in no uncertain tones by E. C. Graham, the president of the board. This proposal went over until the next board meeting. The committee reported that Mr. Thomas is indebted at present in the sum of $2,000 which he hopes to pay at the rate of $150 a month until the amount is discharged. Under the rules of the board a teacher whose services are otherwise satisfactory but who contracts a debt on the strength of his official position and then without sufficient reason neglects, or avoids to pay it, may be dismissed. "A portion of his debts," the committee report stated, "has been admittedly contracted on the strength of his official position." Mr. Thomas' salary is approximately $2,600 a year. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. ED GOVERNMENT IS PROPOSED FOR VIRGIN ISLES By Louis R. Lautier Senator Hiram Bingham, Republican, of Connecticut, introduced a bill in the Senate last Tuesday providing a permanent government for the Virgin Islands. It was referred to the Committee on Territories and Insular Possessions. The bill introduced by Senator Bingham is in substance like the measure introduced by Representative Edgar R. Kies, Republican, of Pennsylvania, which was favorably reported to the House by the Committee on Insular Affairs on March 25, last. The Bingham bill would confer citizenship upon the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands, who did not declare allegiance to the Danish government prior to January 17, 1917. It also contains a bill of rights similar to that in the Constitution of the United States. The contracting of polygamous or plural marriages is prohibited. The supreme executive power would be lodged in a governor, who may be an officer of the Army or Navy. He would be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. He would serve at the pleasure of the President and would have general supervision and control of the government of the Virgin Islands. If the President should appoint an army or navy officer, he would assume and exercise exclusive civil authority over the islands. The governor would appoint a government attorney for Saint Thomas and Saint John, and another for Saint Croix. The salary of the governor, if a civilian, would be $7,000 a year. Government Secretary The President would appoint also by and with the advice and consent of the Senate a government secretary of the Virgin Islands and an auditor. The governor would be empowered to appoint for a term of two years a treasurer, a director of education, a director of agriculture, commerce, labor, and public welfare, a director of public works, a director of health and sanitation and two dispatching secretaries. The salary of each of these officers would be $4,000 a year except the dispatching secretary of Saint John who would receive $2,500 a year. The government secretary and the auditor would receive $5,000 a year each. The local legislative powers would be vested in a council, the members of which would be appointed by the governor or elected by the qualified voters. There would be one council for the municipality of Saint Thomas and Saint John and one for the municipality of Saint Criox. To be a member of either council it would be necessary to be a citizen of the United States over 25 years of age and a qualified voter of the municipality, having resided in the municipality for not less than 2 years. The first election would occur in 1927. Jurisdiction of Courts The jurisdiction of courts and their various officers would continue as now until otherwise provided. Appeals from the police courts would be to the District Court of the Virgin Islands. Other appeals would go to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and the Supreme Court of the United States. The Virgin Islands were purchased in 1917 from Denmark for $25,000. Congress at the time continued the old Danish laws in force. In 1924 a commission consisting of George H. Woodson of Des Moines, Iowa, Cornelius R. Richardson of Richmond, Indiana, Charles E. Mitchell of Institute, West Virginia, Jefferson S. Coage, of Wilmington, Delaware, and W. H. C. Brown of Newport News, Virginia, was sent to the Virgin Islands to study industrial and economic conditions there. This commission submitted its report to Secretary of Labor James J. Davis. Although the Kiess bill was favorably reported by the House committee on insular affairs, Congress has failed to provide a permanent form of Government for the Virgin Islands. ```markdown ``` N HO DUNBAR HIGH $75,000 FOR NEW WALK The Dunbar High School has sum of $75,000 for the purchase the proposed Walker stadium, eliminated this amount in the Congress for the fiscal year end.

The Director of the Budget eliminated this amount in the estimates submitted to the Congress for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923. There is an appropriation of $160,000 available for the construction of this athletic field and stadium, but the school authorities are unable to purchase the land at the price fixed by Congress, which limits them to pay not over 25 per cent more than assessed value of any property bought. The property owners refuse to sell at such a price and the school authorities and the District Commissioners requested the additional sum of $75,000 to be used in this connection. Sues Physician for $20,000 Damage Mrs. Lucy V. Quivers, wife of Harold Quivers, filed suit last Thursday in the District Supreme Court against Dr. Walter Teichman, white physician, for burns sustained by her while he was giving her treatments with an X-ray machine. In her declaration Mrs. Quivers alleges that on three different occasions while undergoing X-ray treatments the skin of her chest, back and arms were severely burned and as a result she has been permanently disabled and disfigured and she has been unable to follow her usual occupation. She charges the doctor with negligence and seeks damages in the sum of $20,000. Mrs. Quilvers is represented by the university team in skilps and Robert, J. Bowler. PROTECTORATE IS HAMPERED BY PREJUDICE PROTECTORATE IS HAMPERED BY PREJUDICE NEWARK, N.J., Dec. 17. (Presson News Service.)—After a study of a survey which she had made with five other persons, Miss Emily Balch, speaker last Thursday night at the weekly meeting of the People's Institute of Newark, expressed herself as not in favor of United States imperialism in its protectorate of Haiti. Miss Balch, former professor of economics at Wellesley College, one time associate editor of the "Nation" and for three years worker at the League of Nations headquarters at Geneva, had been asked to speak on "Why Are We in Haiti?" Haitians Lack Confidence Haitian Lack Confidence Miss Balch outlined the history of the country, described the social and economic conditions of its people, and gave both sides of the question. There is value, she asserted, in the work done by the United States there in its control and in the keeping of order. But this value is overbalanced by other things such as racial prejudice and lack of trust by the Haitians in Americans. The population of the island is of two kinds. The multatto of French and Haitian blood, called the elite, are the city people and have what culture and wealth are. The other type is the black peasant. Among the former there is less prejudiced contact with the French than with the Americans, people of the nation with whom Haiti ratified a treaty in 1916. This treaty expires in 1936, and in Miss Balch's words, "No one has ever suggested that we stay there later." Navy Is Southern Miss Balch said that the United States navy is much more southern in aspect than northern, and since the U.S. marines have the power in Haiti, the relationship is not that of equals to equals. On the other hand, the Haitians, while living in a land often troubled by strife, had independence and their own social divisions within their own race. This attitude of the Haitian that he is inferior be- (Continued on page 2) IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS HOUSE DENIED OR PROPOSED BKER STADIUM has been denied an additional use of land upon which to erect The Director of the Budget the estimates submitted to the ding June 30, 1925. of $160,000 available for the old and stadium, but the school case the land at the price fixed to pay not over 25 per cent by property bought.

Of this amount of the sum of $275,000 is for the completion of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, and the sum of $150,000 is for the construction of an S-room addition to the Margaret Washington Vocational School. The sum of $1,000,000 is for continuing the construction of the new McKinley Technical High School for whites. When this building is completed, the present McKinley Technical High School will be transferred to divisions 10 to 13 of the public schools, according to the plans of the Board of Education. The estimates also contain the sum of $157,250 to be reappropriated for the purchase of school building and playground sites. Two of the five sites proposed to be purchased will be for schools in divisions 10 to 13. One of these sites in the vicinity of Ninth and Euclid Streets, Northwest, will be for a new health school for divisions 10 to 13. The total amount estimated for the public schools, excluding buildings and grounds, is $9,337,951. One of the estimates submitted is for the sum of $40,000 for the purchase and installation of fireproof curtains in the auditorium of the Dunbar High School. The sum of $60,000 for the same purpose is provided for the Central High School. Professor Neval H. Thomas of the N.A.A.C.P. has made a vigorous protest to Chairman Madden of the House Abuorriations Committee because of alleged discrimination in allotting school funds.

In the morning after the sum had come up, he said, he was awakened by a blow from some instrument wielded by Milton Blackwell, who was cursing and fighting him. The two men are said to have argued over Corinne Lemon. Jackson went upstairs, where he lived, got his gun and was admitted by Corinne Lemon. In a general mix-up between Blackwell and him, Jackson stated, the gun was discharged and without waiting to find out how badly Blackwell was injured he fled the scene and sought refuge with his uncle at Collington, Md. At the inquest Jackson was represented by Attorney Joseph D. Kelley. Assistant United States Attorney John M. Littlepage represented the Government. REPRESENTATIVE LOWRY HAS H. U.

The proposed building will house from 96 to 100 students, according to plans. In asking for a total appropriation of $268,000, President Johnson told the subcommittee that this sum is small compared with the more than $12,500,000 annually appropriated by the Federal Government to educational institutions, many of which are entirely closed to colored people. The other two Howard University items in the Interior Department appropriation bill are for salaries, $150,000, and general expenses, $68,000. The Interior Department appropriation bill also carries a total of $188,000 for Freedmen's Hospital. Of this amount the sum of $113,000 is for salaries. This amount is $856 less than the estimate submitted by the President in the Budget and $468 less than the appropriation for the current fiscal year. The other item for Freedmen's Hospital is for subsistence, $75,000. There is an increase in this item of $22,106 over the amount appropriated for the present fiscal year. Approximately $25,000 of this amount will be used for the replacement of laundry machinery.

Imperialism Adds to Suspicion The United States' imperialism in Haiti also adds to the general suspicion of this country (an idea in the mind of all South American Latins) the feeling that the United States is seeking means of getting a strong hold on South America solely for her own purposes. The speaker said that there were ways in which we could help these people, to that which she considers they are entitled. The religion of the country is Catholic, and all of the priests are French, no seminaries being established to train Haitians for the priesthood. The educational system, she said, was in a poor condition, and the contact with France is much closer than that with the country which occupies Haiti. Haitians wishing higher training than that offered in their own country go to France rather than to come to the United States. Taken all in all, the experiment has not been a success, from the social angle of the relations of the two peoples, nor economical, because most of the agricultural experiments have failed, the speaker said. The business and banks are dominated by the United States, and practically no power is in the hands of the Haitians, she added. Arkansas State Board Issues Paroles LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 17.

SI,000 DONORS TO BE LISTED ON BRONZE TABLET By Kelly Miller, Jr., (Editor, Howard Medical News) The new building for the Howard University School of Medicine is in process of erection and work on it is being rushed rapidly. It is planned to place in the hall of this building a bronze tablet containing the names of those persons who gave to the endowment fund of the School of Medicine the sum of one thousand dollars or more. The tablet will bear the following inscription: "To these men, pioneers of their race in concerted philanthropy, a grateful university has erected this tablet to perpetuate their memory and permit future generations to render due appreciation of their acts. "In her hour of need, they, by their loyalty, generosity and self-sacrifice, so inspired their fellowmen that the standing of the School of Medicine of this University was preserved for the benefit of mankind." It is necessary that this list be made up immediately, according to officials, because the size of the tablet and the amount of space it is to occupy must be determined at this time.

MONROE, 2813 Clarendon Road, Brooklyn, New York REVIVES WHEN TAKEN TO UNDERTAKING PARLOR JONESBORO. N.C., Dec. 16. (Preston News Service) — Jake Pearson of Broadway, has proven that the days of miracles are still with us. According to reports Pearson had been driving through Sanford early Saturday night at a high rate of speed when his machine struck a telephone pole, overturned and threw him violently into a nearby field. Two eye witnesses of the accident ran to Pearson and pronounced him dead after a hurried examination. His body was picked up and carried to an undertaking establishment to be prepared for burial. In about three minutes after he had been carried in and laid on the slab, he slowly raised his head, looked around and said, "See here, fellows, I ain't dead." So, instead of being consigned to a coffin, Pearson was lodged in jail charged with reckless driving.

Brown, Howard No doubt there will be any number of individuals to question the authority I assume at publishing an all-American football team. In reality, this is not an all-American, but an all-Collegiate selection of players chosen from teams the writer has seen in action, either against Howard or in some game of interest to this section. Participants, in games of Lincoln, Wilberforce, West Virginia Institute, Morehouse, Livingstone, Fisk, and Atlanta, against Howard, are considered, while Tuskegee and Morgan have also been considered from their appearances against Lincoln. "Tubby," is without a peer. Will this variable demon was kept so much during the Howard so son has never been understood. Without a reasonable doubt, most confidence is displayed in the entire pack when Miller is in the line. Hodges has just a shade of Kelly, due to his punt blocking an recovering. Cooke, captain, and out-standing lineman, of Morehouse gets the call at the other guard. Cooke exceptionally fast, and a capable field general. Centers—I now come to the discussion of my hero. So far as am concerned, the center are In the cases of Lamar, Atlanta, and Mendham hall of Wilberforce, two players of whom I saw nothing this year, I am basing my selection on testimony of a number of Howard football players. In their opinion, there is no greater tackle and end in the country than this pair. The rest of my mythical team is selected through personal judgment. I am no Walter Camp, neither am I a Grantland Rice, in fact I am just a recent high school graduate, but being human, I am entitled to an amount of vanity, of which each of us has his share. Hence my self-made authorization. I have been watching guidiron struggles for some time. I was there when Penderhughes broke his collar bone in the northeast corner of the Hillkop campus. I was keeping over the fence when "Red" Dabney, Hampton star, left his position at center and went to the backfield yelling: "Give me that d——ball," and proceeded to buck the Howard line for 13 yards and victory. Nor was I any place but on the roof of the old pavilion that used to adorn the Sixth St., boundary of the campus, when Pee Wee Kane knelt on one knee while the Howard and Union lines piled up 8 yards from the goal, and then calmly trotted his left end to score. Well, here goes: Ends—Gaithers of West Virginia, and Dezon of Morehouse are placed on the flanks. Gaithers is easily the leading wingman of the season. He is a terrer to opposing backs, possessing an uncanny ability at smearing plays. Dezon very nearly approaches his mythical teammate in value. Morehous without Archer and Dezon on her ends would have proved a greater disappointment than she did. Dezon plays interferers off their feet, can tackle and at receiving passes he has no superior. Mendenhall was a thorn in the side to Howard, and on their recommendation he is chosen. In picking Temple, I subject myself to criticism, but all who attempt picking an all-star aggregation do that; so what care I? Temple is an exceptional first year college end. Against Morgan and against Howard, the local boy was the lone and most consistent luminary. Before reaching the conclusion that in picking one of my former teammates, I am partial, I ask you to consult someone who saw either the Howard-Lincoln or Morgan-Lincoln game and question them on the ability of the Lion left end. Tackles—Lamar, considered by Bison varsity men, as the greatest colored tackle in the country, is selected for my first team. Thomas, I rate above Captain Smith, for one outstanding reason, while the Blue and White Captain is capable of stopping almost everything sent at him, Thomas is equally as strong, just as aggressive, and better at breaking through, than his leader. On any number of occasions, opposing losses were due to the superior charging in and deadly tackling of the Blue and White right tackle. Grasty and Captain Smith, in my opinion are right on the heels of the first team pair. Guards—One of the only line men to oppose and stand off the famous Howard shift was Hodges of West Virginia. He, Miller, and Kelly of Howard stand out in a field of mediocre guards. Miller, the old Bison standby, is easily the best of the lot. Big fast and exceptionally aggressive. PHI BETA WINS FRAT GAME AT NASHVILLE By J. W. Jones NASHVILLE, Tenn.—In the opening game of Nashville's annual fraternal struggles the fast "Zeta Five" of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity outclassed the champion Omega quint and galloped away on the long end of a 22 to 19 score, in one of the fastest and cleanest battles local fandom THE SPORT REVIEW SAMUEL H. LACY. Sports Editor By Sam Lacey Second Team "Tubby," is without a peer. Why this variable demon was kept idle so much during the Howard season has never been understood. Without a reasonable doubt, more confidence is displayed in the entire pack when Miller is in the line. Hodges has just a shade on Kelly, due to his punt blocking and recovering. Cooke, captain, and out-standing lineman, of Morehouse gets the call at the other guard. Cooke is exceptionally fast and a capable field general. Centers—I now come to the discussion of my hero. So far as I am concerned, the center and quarterback positions are assigned, without the slightest effort of concentration. Since the days of "Red" Dabney, there has never been a greater diagnostician, a more consistent plugger, or a deadlier tackle than "Biff" Martin, Howard center. You may have your Tobins, your Kirkpatrick, or your Buchanan, and though I have seen neither of the former two in action, I am confident that should I witness their play with all their attributes, I should choose Martin. A powerful rover, "Biff" was at the bottom of every pile, always on hand to knock down, or catch opposing passes, and when on the offense ready to block, charge or swing into the interference as the case commanded, as only great pivot men can do. Buchanan is a known quantity here, as well as everywhere he has performed. Though small he is a fighter of the Priestley type. Quarterback.—So much has been said of Jack Coles, that to recapitulate is merely to repeat. Therefore, I am inserting about the best description I can find of this man. Here is the way, Mr. H. Scott, former Tribune sports editor, describes the unanimous universal choice for this position: "The quarterback assignment goes to Coles, of Howard, whose season's record places him as the greatest field general of the 1926 gridiron season, thereby giving him the call over such generals as Richie, of Wilbarforce, Turner of West Virginia, and Epps of Virginia Normal. Coles not only got everything possible out of his team through his clever selection of plays, but proved one of the ground-gaining aces of colored schools. Hes is fast and shifty, able to ram a fine, slide off a tackle or whirl around the ends. He works well on either end of a pass and is a dazzling broken field runner, good kicker, and strong and capable secondary defense player." Turner is unfortunate in that there is a Coles. With the Howard quarter out of the way, the Yellowjacket would receive the assignment. Good field generalship, better ball carrying, and accurate passing are his outstanding good traits. Halfbacks—Smith of Howard, Ritchie, of Wilberforce, Hundley, West Virginia, Young of Howard. Here we have four backs of which too much can not be said. Smith and Ritchie get the call over the latter pair, just because in my opinion they are better backs. "Tick" Smith has accomplished the running catch of punts. On no occasions was the Bison safety man stopped without gain. When the pigskin, dropping spirally or end over, landed in Smith's arms, he was fairly flying. Off tackle he was as slippery as an eel, around end he was swift as a deer. Young like Ritchie, is placed out of position on my team, due to his science and cunning. Aggressive, speedy, and a fighter he must be placed. Fullback—The praises of Stevenson have been so widely sung, so often talked of, that mention of even his barest virtues is only a repetition. Stevenson is fast and a good broken field runner. His kicking is such as has given him the best record of the year for points after touchdown. Dan Brown was slow finding himself, but near the close of the season he came into his own, and when Brown reaches the top of his game, he cannot be denied. At last it's over, now on with the ridicule. has ever witnessed. Before a capacity crowd that jammed every foot of the auditorium here the chesty Omega bunch took the floor, attired in brand new purple and gold uniforms, seemingly confident of victory. On the other hand the Phi Beta tossers appeared with dogged determination to cast off the jinx that has followed them for three years. Phi Beta scored first on Sorrell's field goal, but immediately after Omega took the lead and held it, throughout the first half, the whistle blowing on an 8-6 count: Opening the second half Sigma tied the works and soon afterward THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, ARMSTRONG SOPHS BEAT FRESHIES "Too fresh, needed a mud bath," was the only reason the Sophomores would give for the 12-0 defeat they handed the Freshmen last Thursday afternoon on the Walker Memorial Stadium grounds attached to Dunbar High School. The annual Armstrong High interclass battle resulted in a decisive triumph for the upper classmen, when little Jackson romped through the first year men for two touchdown. All through the first half, the Frosh eleven outplayed their rival schoolmates, but near the end of the third period their game cracked. Even then, however, it was only the little mud-covered Soph halfback, who gave his class the victory. Six minutes after the second half began Jackson skirted off right tackle for 30 yards and a touchdown, and later on he circled left end for 38 yards for another six counter. The game which was postponed when the boys announced a preference of the Thursday mud to the Monday snow (and who wouldn't?) was better than many of the varsity engagements the past season. Real, honest to goodness grit was displayed and Coach West was there. Scouting? COLORED MIDDLEWEIGHT IN TOWN One who threatens to crowd the boys at the "Y" out of the spotlight has arrived in town.

Walls, following the Morgan-Lincoln football game, in Baltimore, November 13. Tribune readers will remember that immediately after the publication of this article in the Pittsburgh Courier, our Sports Reflector severely criticised the method resorted to in belittling Mr. Jackson, the official in charge of said game. This time it is the referee himself writing in his own defense. Following is his letter: 1102 Madison Avenue, Baltimore, Md. December 9, 1926. To the Sports Editor:— May I be allowed space in your valuable paper to reply to the statements carried on the sport page of the Pittsburgh Courier of November 20. under the caption: "What's the Matter With Football Officials?" The writer of the article, Theodore Walls, line coach at Lincoln University, in discussing the Morgan-Lincoln game asserts that "the referee didn't know what it was all about," referring to the awarding of a touchdown to the Morgan team on the following play: Hill, of Morgan, received a forward pass and was on his way to the Lincoln goal line when Martin, of Lincoln, not in the game at the time, ran out from the bench and tackled him. I gave the touchdown to Morgan as a penalty. Mr. Walls says: "This [play], of course, was contrary to the rules, and the penalty for such an offense is half the distance from where the play ended to the goal.... Any one who knows anything about football at all also knows that the penalty meted out without justification." As information to the public and to Mr. Walls I wish to state that there is no rule in the book to cover such a play. Precedent, however, has established the penalty as given. Wilson Wingate, football authority of the (Baltimore) Morning Sun, was asked to pass on the decision. In his own column in that paper on November BASKETBALL CARNIVAL THURSDAY NIGHT BASKETBALL CARNIVAL THURSDAY NIGHT Also City Champs Presenting Biggest Attraction in Years Colored and White Night Promises to be Huge Success On Thursday night, December 23, one of the biggest basketball spectacles colored Washington has ever witnessed will be offered on the Lincoln Colonnade court. Eddie Brathurd's rejuvenated Yankees will be on hand to give the fans a treat. For sometime the Yankees have been the outstanding white semi-professional team, and during the days of "Nate" Sauber, present Carlisle coach they gave the Alcoes some pretty nasty lickings. Since then, however, Judge Smith has so strengthened his squad that the 1926 champs are anticipating, with a tough fight, a Purple and White victory. The Yankees, long known as "The Point-a-Minute Machine" guaranteed their positive appearance, and will bring a team they say can whip anything we have to offer in their class. Manager Hill has secured the Community Yellowjackets, amateur champions to meet the white Acme Arrows, South Atlantic and P. S. A. L. champions. The Alceo management has made the price of admission very small, and insists that fans come early that they may witness the full program of this "bargain night" for the price of one big game. The offering is, our colored athletes versus some of the leading whites in two of the best games the Capital may see this year. INFORMAL TRACK MEET HELD AT Y. M. C. A. On Tuesday afternoon some for-ly-odd girls met in the Y. W. C. A. gymnasium and held an interesting meet under the direction of John H. Burr.

Mr. Wingate, after telling of the play in the Morgan-Lincoln game, said: "The referee ruled a touchdown and quite properly, although there was considerable argument. The referee's ruling was correct. Navy Bill Ingram, Navy Coach, was cited as the one man hereabout who played in a game where a similar situation occurred. . . Local fans will remember the Navy-Great Lakes Training School contest some eight or nine years ago. They will recall Ingram fumbled as he started to plunge for touchdown, that a Great Lake player scooped up the ball and was all by himself running for a touchdown when a Navy substitute. Midshipman Saunders, dashed out from the bench and brought the Westener down with a crash as he passed midfield." The decision as made has also been approved by Lenord U. Gibson, E. B. Henderson, the Herald-Commonwealth, the Afro-American, and the Washington Tribune. Mr. Walls further says in his article that "a parallel to this play in the Morgan-Lincoln game was found in the Michigan-Army game this year." May I inform Mr. Walls that Michigan and the Army did not meet this year, and as far as memory serves, have never met on the gridiron. In regard to the last play in the game, when Lincoln carried the ball across the line for a touchdown which was not allowed, the explanation is simply this: Time had been called "out" and the ball could not be in play until the two captains and all officials were ready. The captain of the Morgan team, the headlinesman, and the umpire were not ready, and time had not been called "in" when the ball was snapped. Therefore, the score made was not allowed and the ball was brought back to the place where the play originated. I hope Mr. Walls will in his future articles take care to be more accurate in his statements* to the press. Very truly yours. C. E. JACKSON Referee Morgan-Lincoln game. Y.M.C.A. BASKETBALL LEAGUE PROVES POPULAR Shilos Loses to "Y" Five 27-7 The Y.W.C.A., "Big 5" won its second game in the girls' league by taking the measure of the Shiloh Church team last Tuesday night, 27-7. Both teams played a hard, clean brand of basketball, but the Shiloh team found it too difficult a task to match the more experienced "Y" players. The church team under the tutelage of "Ches" Anderson showed general improvement and a wonderful fighting spirit. On Saturday night, December 18, a double attraction will be offered when the "Y" team meets Howard University girls' quint along with the Shiloh-National Benefit engagement. League Standing W. L. T.

The Washington Carlsles were unable to cope with the local Bucaneers here last Friday night and lost by the score, 34-31. Handcapped by the absence of "Slim" Henderson, center, whom they had to leave at home ill abed, and also by the late arrival of Captain Tim Braddie, the Capital City lads went into the game very much dispirited. In the first 5 minutes the New Jerseyans had compiled a lead of 11-2 before the visitors knew what it was all about. Near the end of the quarter, Captain "Tim" came running into the hall and with his appearance the Carlsles' fight spirit returned. Following his insertion, the team buckled to it and made it a battle. YELLOWJACKETS SMOTHER MANCHESTER A.C. Friday night marked the opening of the Y.M.C.A., Senior League, and what an opening it was. Community and Manchesterers, age old rivals met and the Yellowjackets re-opened the wound of Manchester envy, triumphing by the decisive score of 40-23. Until the last quarter, however, the Blue and White machine from Northeast was able to make the game a contest. Beginning the final stanza with only a 3-point advantage by virtue of a 20-17 lead, the Yellowjackets resorted to their 'under fire' offense and proceeded to snow their rivals under. LOOKA HERE! Who is the City's Most Popular Basketball player? Keep an eye on this page. Alcoes Turn Back Elk Big "5" in Basketball Inaugural Zip-zip zip were the resounds as the ball sped from one to another of the Alcoes in their 42-37 victory over the Monmouth Lodge of Elks at Asbury Park, N.J. The contest took place last Thursday at the Colonnade. The newly developed passing game of the local team was carried out with the rapidity and smoothness of machine gun fire. Some 500 fans, men and women, turned out to witness the inauguration of what promises to be the biggest basketball year the Capital has experienced. Gate-crashers were there, mingling with reserved seat patrons, and newsboys rubbed elbows with doctors. All had the same enthusiasm, which no mere deluge like that of Thursday night could dampen. Everything marked the turnout as a convention for the Elks. And the game, too-oh, yes! the game; it did more than its share to make the evening a success. Never before have the Alcoes more nearly resembled a championship aggregation. Their play, throughout the forty minutes was of the type of which Washington will be proud. Laboring under an early lead of 8 points, the city champs staged a rally in the closing minutes of the first half that put them on the long end of a 17-16 score at intermission. From the very start it was a nip and tuck affair. The widest margin of difference in scores in this half came after three successive baskets by the visitors, which put them ahead 13-5. Here Captain Turner called time out and got his team together. When play was resumed the local boys quickly found themselves. A pair of doubledeckers by Turner and one by Harris, followed in rapid order by Whitted's field goal, tied the count. Here S. Keyes, visiting forward, inserted a looper and, being fouled by Suter, was awarded two free attempts of which one brought his team's total to 16. This 3-point advantage was shortlived, however, as "Judge" Smith's charges again recovered, Twin fouls and a 2-counter put the Capital cityans ahead, 17-16 as the whistle blew to end the half. The second half surpassed the opener for spectacular play. In this round the contest changed. From a game between Alcoes and Elks, it took on the aspects of a battle between Turner and Harris against the New Jerseyans. "Soup" Turner converted into a guard was always in the limelight. His dribbles, passes, and uncanny shots kept his team well ahead, while those sensational shots by the eagle-eyed Van Harris were neatly placed whenever the excitement threatened to die. Scrappy Whitted showed unusual judgment and ability at the freezing game. On three occasions he wasted between 5 and 8 minutes by causing jump ball after jump ball with a lesser agile opponent. The writer is glad this writing is oven. There were so many good things that could be said it was difficult to decide how to start. Even now, an entirely new and good description could be made on things worth mentioning which have not been covered. The crowd was large and amiable, the spirit was high, the game was great and most of all the sportsmanship on the part of both teams as well as the spectators was above reproach.

GAME IN PHILADELPHIA PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 11. —On their second successive night on the road, the Blue and White Carlisle machine of Washington, D.C., succumbed to defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Scholastics. Inability to sink foul tries spelled the margin of the 21-18 loss. However, losing this game as well as the one in Atlantic City last night, by only three points, without the services of Henderson, is considered a moral victory in the Carlisle Camp. THE GAME OF FOOTBALL by Dr. E. B. Henderson (Continued from last week) Why has there been so much uncontrolled feeling exhibited at games this year? I doubt whether there has been so much more. Some events like mobbing of officials and tearing up of goal posts have stood out and received great publicity, but I have seen many occurrences as bad, that did not receive so much publicity. Whenever, there is a leap down in the system of controls, there is a likelihood of uncontrolled outbreaks. It never pays for a coach or management to be too sure that human nature is safe because for a long time notning untoward has happened. Are there enough good colored officials to go round on every Saturday? Yes and no. We have in our group men who are as good as men in the other group. We need more. Younger men are coming along. It would help if management's of conferences were to split up the groups and see to it that all the best and most experienced men were not in any one game unless it was the most important game. Equalization of fees will prevent jealousies among officials and will make a man as efficient as linesman as another is as umpire or referee. Then too, the officials must study and confer. Nothing so shows up the weakness of an official as the weekly conferences. Many a man has been disallusioned who for years has had a false conception of some problem in officiating. We often wonder why we have been so dumb to so obvious a solution. Too many officials depend upon their ability to run games on their experience as players or coaches. The viewpoints though similar have many angles of divergence. Does our sporting press too severely criticise officials?

Yet there are thousands of wrong penalties, and poor judgments made every Saturday. In my experience I have seen but few bones pulled of a decisive nature. In fact, some of the most startling errors made by our very best men have been entirely lost on nearly everybody except members of the official groups who want to know the reasons for this and that in the weekly conference following. The attitude of most writers is not to doubt judgements made on the moment in so complicated a game as football. In baseball, a man is safe or out; it is a strike or a ball. In football, on every play you could call some technical error according to your judgement and snack on a penalty, but the official who sees every hair offside or splits the inch to decide a man up on the line will last only a short time in the game. People come to see football and not officials. Which is the best team of the year? There is no doubt but that the Howard team, the Tuskegee team, and the Hampton team are each best in their sections. Although there is little by which to compare teams of the C.I.A.A., and Howard or Tuskegee, there are many who would call Howard the strongest team of colored players in the country. Let us hope that another season will find more inter-conference games. Do you expect to pick an all-American team? No. To a large extent all-American selections have lost favor. With football extending from coast to coast it is impossible to select eleven best men. Within conference groups this is a logical and possible thing. The names of the best men could then be given out for meritorious recognition. Think of a "HIM" of the MMERCIAL CO. street, N.W. SCARFS Beautiful scarfs in silk, wool or flannel.

This program em- races the idea of co-operation with the laudable and too little ap- preciated work of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History; contributors trom time to time of plans and material for better classroom work; a study of what becomes of our High School alumni in the fields of industry; a study of teacher-load with relation to fatigue which may impair ef- ficiency, and a stody of “How we may Dest reduces illiteracy. sndte Union is in — savin % ion with Local 8, com of teachers in the frst njue divisions, which division is composed of white teachers, and plans are under way for the fullest co-operation between the two branches of teachers in this city who are affiliated with organized labor. At the last meeting of Local 27, held Tuesday, December 7, at the Cleveland School, it was decided to furnish some data on the accom: plishments of the American Negro for the information of Rernie Smith, of London, England, who has omy tbl im connection with a spe is preparing con- cering England's policy toward Af- rican labor. Dr. Carter G. Woodson has con- sented to aid the union in the work by sending to Mr. Smith the Tatest edition of “The Negro in Our History.” About four weeks ago, this local discovered a discrimination in the matter of the amounts deducted from salaries for the teachers’ Pension fun.. It gffects every wom: an in the school system, in that one and a half per cent more is deducted from the salary of women than from men. This matter was arranged according to- actuarial tables adopted by the commission- ers. Local 27 feels, according to its president, Mrs. Mary L. Mason, that this’ in contrary to congress- ional intention and contrary to the most progressive thought of the day. “Washington teachers. have been accustomed to equal pay for equal work,” she said. According- ly, the executive committee has placed the matter in the hands of its Teachers’ Council representa- tives and will appeal the case of its women members to the boat of edueation for adjudication.
