KAPPA DISI SOU SENATOR ERN FOR INQUIRY COMMIT KAPPA ALPHA PSI 16TH ANNUAL CONVENTION DISFRANCHISEMENT IN SOUTH MAY BE PROBED SENATOR ERNST MOVES FOR INQUIRY AT SENATE COMMITTEE MEETING A Congressional investigation of dis South is looming. At the meeting of the Senate judiciary morning, Senator Richard P. Ernst, tucky, moved to extend the scope of into the alleged barter of public offices include disfranchisement of colored p of the country. A subcommittee consisting of Senate Republican, of Nebraska; Senator Erliam H. King, Democrat, of Utah, was alleged sale of Federal offices but of colored persons in southern states. A Congressional investigation of disfranchisement in the South is looming. At the meeting of the Senate judiciary committee Monday morning, Senator Richard P. Ernst, Republican, of Kentucky, moved to extend the scope of the proposed inquiry into the alleged barter of public offices in southern states to include disfranchisement of colored persons in that section of the country. A subcommittee consisting of Senator George W. Norris, Republican, of Nebraska; Senator Ernst, and Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, was appointed to draft a alleged sale of Federal offices but of disfranchisement of colored persons in southern states. In an interview Monday afternoon, Senator Charles S. Deneen, Republican, of Illinois, stated that the Republican members of the Senate judiciary committee were going to vote for the proposed investigation of the alleged sale of Federal offices and of disfranchisement in the South. Senator Deneen is a member of the judiciary committee. He did not know what form the resolution would be in when it is reported by the subcommittee at the next regular meeting of the full committee, but expressed the belief that it will include provision for an inquiry into disfranchisement practices in the South. COOLIDGE SIGNS BILL AGAINST PATRONAGE SALE No! only shall the Negro not hold any Federal offices in the South, but he shall not receive any of the emoluments from these offices. The proposal that the investigation of the alleged sale of Federal offices in the South be extended to include an inquiry into disfranchisement was made on the floor of the Senate on December 17 by Senator George H. Moses, Republican, of New Hampshire, after Senator William J. Harris, Democrat, of Georgia, asked for the consideration of his resolution calling for an investigation of the alleged sale of Federal offices in Georgia. When it was decided that the Harris resolution should be referred to the judiciary committee, Senator Moses expressed the hope that that committee "will report back the resolution in an amended form, very simple, something like this, that an investigation should be made to discover whether each State of the Union is enjoying that form of republican government which is guaranteed to it under the Constitution." The resolution offered by Senator Harris provided for the appointment of a special committee of three Senators "to investigate and report to the Senate as soon as practicable the facts in respect of the barter of Federal offices, or of influence in respect of appointments to such offices, in the State of Georgia." Senator Harris based his resolution, upon the report that "the national committeeman of the Republican party in the State of Georgia has engaged in the barter of Federal offices or of his influence in respect of appointments t: such offices." Senator King inquired of Senator Harris why he would limit the proposed investigation to the State of Georgia. Senator Pat Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi, proposed that the resolution should be amended so as to make it apply, if not to the whole United States, (Continued on page 2) FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VI, No. 31 ALPHA P FRAD TH N IST MOVES AT SENATE TEE MEETING 2.

COOLIDGE SIGNS BILL AGAINST PATRONAGE SALE COOLIDGE SIGNS BILL AGAINST PATRONAGE SALE Not only shall the Negro not hold any Federal offices in the South, but he shall not receive any of the emoluments from these offices. That is the effect of a bill signed by the President last Saturday, which provides imprisonment for a year and a fine of $1,000 for any person who "offers, solicits, gives or receives any sum of money or other thing of value" for a Government position. A second bill signed by the President requires every person who receives a Federal appointment to file an affidavit with the Comptroller General declaring that neither he nor anyone in his behalf "has given, transferred, promised or paid any consideration for or in the expectation or hope of receiving assistance in securing such appointment." Colored Republican leaders believe that these two new laws strike a death blow at the Negro in politics in the South. They point out that there will be no incentive for the Negro to be active in politics in the South, if he is denied appointment to Federal office and at the same time prohibited by law from barring his influence in the distribution of patronage. The expenditure of large sums of money is necessary to obtain political control in the South, colored Republican leaders assert. Money for the holding of state, district and county conventions must be provided. The colored Republican in the South does not have the money to supply for the holding of these conventions and calls upon those who are the political beneficiaries for funds in exchange for Federal appointments. With this source of revenue cut off, there is nothing for the Negro in the South to do, they assert, but permit the white man to gain control of Republican politics. Negroes are already denied Federal appointments in the South.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1926 EVERY SHUT EYE NOT ASLEEP FOR HOWARD-U. THE LOWERY OF MISS. W. HARRISON PHI DELTA TO CONVENE HERE NEXT WEEK Phi Delta Kappa, composed of teachers, will hold its annual convention in this city beginning, December 26. The sorority was organized in Jersey City, N.J., in 1922, where Alpha chapter was established.

JOHNSON ASSURED BY COMMITTEE H. U. ITEMS WILL BE PASSED AS USUAL By Louis R. Lautier The Senate Wednesday afternoon adopted an amendment to the Interior Department appropriation bill providing $218,000 toward the annual maintenance of Howard University, but rejected the item which would have provided an additional $150,000 for the construction of a new dormitory for women. Opposition to the Howard University appropriation$^4$ was led by Senator Trammell, Democrat, of Florida, on the ground that it constituted discrimination against other educational institutions that do not receive congressional aid. The Senate, however, approved the items for maintenance although rejecting the one for the dormitory. The Howard University items will probably be restored in the Interior Department appropriation bill in the Senate, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard university, was assured when he appeared before the subcommittee of the Senate appropriations committee which held hearings on the Interior Department appropriation bill last Friday. Senator Reed Smoot, Republican, of Utah, chairman of the subcom- OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. VENTION T IN BED SLEEP THE NEGRO W. HAMMOND ASSURED BY H. U. ITEMS USED AS USUAL mittee, told President Johnson during the hearings that what the Senate will do with the Howard university items "is just the same as we always do in the Senate. The House strikes it all out, and we put it back in the bill." Doubt was expressed by Senator Smoot, however, concerning the item of $150,000 for the construction of a new dormitory for women. At the suggestion of Senator Kenneth McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, Dr. Johnson explained the reasons for the request for an appropriation for the construction of a new dormitory for women. He said: "The reason why we have asked for that new dormitory is that we are unable to house more than one-fifth of our students at Howard University. We have something over 600 women coming to Howard University from 38 states in the Union and we are able to house at the university only about 195 of those students. They have to take rooms in the city; and both the price of the rooms and the quality of the rooms, especially the quality of the life with which they come in contact, makes us very easy about the character influence (Continued on page 2) --- OPENS PROMISES TO MEETING IN FRAT; CLOSE RACE MIXING CAN SOLVE PROBLEM, SAYS MAGAZINE PROMISES TO BE GREATEST MEETING IN HISTORY OF FRAT; CLOSES THURSDAY NEW YORK, N.Y.—In the January number of The Messenger, there is a continuation of the interesting discussion started in the December number of "Group Tactics and Ideals." Mr. Thomas Kirksey, a graduate of Boston University, a practicing attorney in Chicago, and a keen student of economics and sociology, makes an amazingly candid and vigorous contribution to the discussion. He states that the effort to develop Negro racial consciousness is not compatible with the Negro's struggle for social and industrial equality with other citizens and that furthermore such effort is futile "due to the propensity of the Nordic Soul." He says further: "An observation which may not tickle the palate so much of the inculcators and perpetuators of race consciousness in the Negro is that the open concubination of the Negro female and the white male has resulted in a spawn of some three million mulattoes being thrown back upon the dominated group must be declared, as painful as it may sound to the cars of the moralist, the race purity fanatics, a step forward toward racial adjustment in this country." "Ilegitimacy," says Mr. Kirksey, "in all of its forms must be reckoned with as potent a factor in the equation as legitimacy. The biological leavening process has no concern with the 'how.' I desire only that the Negro male and the white female be allowed as free a hand in the working out of the process as the white male and the (Continued on page 2) TRIPLE FUNERAL AT VERMONT AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH Triple funeral services were held at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church last Sunday.

The resolution was referred to ‘the Senate ‘judiciary committee. Last Saturday, Senator King submitted a more comprehonsive resolution. It was also referred to the judiciary committee. It provided that the President of the Senate should appoint a select. com- mittee of five Senators to investi- gate the appvintment of individ- uals to Federal offices, particularly in states which do not have Repub- Jican Senators and Representa- tives, and ascertain whether or not national committeemen, chairmen of State committees or other per- sons having political influence “have bartered recommendations, indorsements, or influence for the appointment of individuals to Fed- eral offices in any State, for money or other things of value or ad- vantage.” 3 This oe ponies val re- Port its findings to jenate at the beginning of the first session ‘of the Seventieth Congress. see oat of the Cree iu committee is studying on ee res- olutions.

I. A. A. SESSION DUNBAR REFUSES HIGH SCH By Sam Lacy It has been learned that the local Dunbar High School had no representative at the Interstate High School Athletic Conference meeting, held last month in Newport News, Va., and that all efforts to obtain Dunbar's co-operation since that time have failed. Invitations were sent to the Manassas, the Booker T. Washington, the Portsmouth Norcum, the Huntington, the Armstrongnng, the Dunbar, and the Doughlass high schools to attend. All of these schools with the exception of the last two were represented. Why the Red and Black school sent no delegation to the confab, cannot be learned; but in the case of Douglass, a recent order of the Board of Education, in Baltimore, forbids the playing of any athletic contests outside the state, and for this reason Douglass has temporarily withdrawn from the organization. The application for admittance into the Conference by the Norcum High School, Portsmouth, Va., was favorably received and acted upon. For the second successive year, Booker T. Washington was recognized as having had the championship football team for 1926. As this is her second leg on the trophy, the Norfolk team becomes permanent possessors of it. Each member of the conference expressed his sincere regret that due to Dunbar's unexplained withdrawal, Washingtonians were unable to LINCOLN REPRESENT AT C. Howard and Lincoln Invited. Lions Accept, Bisons Reject By Sam Lacy HAMPTON, Va. -Dec. 10—Since the break in relations between Howard and Lincoln and the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association in 1924, there has been constant suggestions on the part of sports lovers, the press and various institutions that the contending forces should meet and adjust such conflicting difficulties. The C.I.A.A., held its 16th annual meeting at the A. & T. College at Greensboro, N.C., Friday and Saturday, December 10, and 11, invitations to which were extended to both Howard and Lincoln Universities. Lincoln was represented, Howard was not. In duplicate letters to Howard and Lincoln, the C.I.A.A., attempted to arrange a conference between the association and these institutions, either individually or jointly. Thus the following passed between the three principals: October 18, 1926 Mr. L. L. Watson, Director of Physical Education, Washington, D.C. Howard University, My dear Mr. Watson: This fall I have been spoken to on numerous occasions by alumni of Howard, Lincoln and schools of the C.I.A., relative to the possibility of having a conference composed of representatives of these three groups to discuss the athletic difficulties existing between Howard, Lincoln and the C.I.A., It is commonly felt by lovers of athletics and sports that the present relationship is doing much to prevent the full athletic development in our schools and colleges. I feel that the request on the part of the alumni and schools is a timely one and that it should be considered. For this reason I am writing you as Director of Physical Education at Howard and a member of its Board of Athletic Control, asking if Howard will meet in conference at any early date, representatives of Lincoln and the C.I.A.A., It is my opinion that if we can get together around a conference table with the desire and the spirit to adjust our differences, it will be possible to work out a basis of cooperation. I trust you will accept this letter in the spirit in which it is written, and that Howard may find it possible to meet in such a conference. A similar letter has been written to Lincoln and to the members of the C.I.A.A. Hoping to have your early reply, I am. Chas. H. Williams In reply to the letter of Mr. Williams, Mr. E. P. Davis, president of the Athletic Board of Control, merely announced the maintenance of the Howard decision throughout the difference. The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, in reply to your letter of Oc- THE SPORT REVIEW SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor witness this exceptional team in action. After speeches by Messrs. W. C. Thomas, O. A. Wilson, and Benjamin Washington, the following officers were elected for 1927: W. C. Thomas, Huntington, president; J. T. Chambers, Mannassas, vice president; A. A. Wilson, Booker T. Washington, publicity agent. The following schedule for the 1927 football season was suggested to the various schools for their approval: Saturday, Oct. 15—Armstrong at Manassas. Friday, Oct. 21—Huntington at Booker T. Armstrong at Douglass. Friday, Oct. 28—Booker T., at Armstrong. Manassas at Huntington. Friday, Nov. 14—Manassas at Norcum. Armstrong at Huntington. Friday, Nov. 11— Douglass at Armstrong. Huntington at Norcum. Manassas at Douglass. Friday, Nov. 18— Huntington at Douglass. Saturday, Nov. 19— Booker T., at Manassas. Thursday, Thankgiving Day— Booker T., at Norcum. Games in which Douglass are scheduled to participate depend on the final action of the Baltimore authorities. That the present order, so far as colored schools are concerned, will be rescinded is anticipated. tober 18 to Professor L. L. Watson, Director of Physical Education at Howard University, permit me to call attention to pages 7 and 8 of the statement issued January 1925, by authority of Board of Athletic Control, a marked copy of which I enclose. This remains the unanimous position of the board. The C.I.A.A., must rescind its boycott vote against Howard University as a preliminary to any resumption of relations. No conference is needed for this. We shall probably in any event not renew membership in the C.I.A.A., Howard would, however, be very glad to join in welcoming into the American Collegiate Athletic Association the institutions represented in the C.I.A.A., either individually or as a group. With best wishes, I remain Very sincerely yours. (Signed): E. P. Davis, Board of Athletic Control, Howard Univ. Lincoln on the other hand agreed to have a representative at any conference at which there would be any possibility of mending differences. October 22, 1926 Mr. Chao, Hsiao Namms, Sec.-Treas. C.I.A. A Hamp., Va. Dear Mr. Williams; I have referred your communication of October 18 to our committee and I am glad to inform you that Lincoln University is now, as before, willing to confer with the C.I.A.A., and Howard University in joint conference or independently, in an endeavor to arrive at an amicable agreement. With best wishes, I am Very sincerely yours. (Signed): H. F. Grimm It appears then that from the action taken at the conference last Friday and Saturday, that the C.I.A.A., has no intention whatever to meet the Howard demands. She accepted the following policies which do not appear encouraging to a settlement for some time. Unanimous vote was obtained on the succeeding issues: 1. That the C.I.A.A., remove the suspension from Lincoln University and that Lincoln be granted the privilege of resuming membership in the C.I.A.A. 2. That the C.I.A.A., members, when playing teams of collegiate grades, play only such as observe eligibility rules fully conforming to those of the 3. When students transfer forming to those of the C.I.A.A. from institution playing the same grade of football as the C.I.A.A., the C.I.A.A., will enforce the same regulations as are observed in the transfer of students from one member of the C.I.A.A., to another. Those institutions coming within this regulation are such institutions as are members of the Southeastern, Southwestern, and Midwest Conferences. Prof. H. F. Grimm, faculty treasurer of Lincoln's Athletic Association and Lincoln's official representative arrived while the association was in session. He was warmly greeted by the association. He brought greetings from Lincoln University and spoke in most appreciative terms of the work of the association stating that Lincoln had always believed in the ideals of the association and felt H'S FOR SIMPSON Wendell Phillips High School of Chicago boasts of the only four letter man now attending Howard. A graduate of the Red and Black School, Dennis Simpson, winner of the varsity "H" in four sports has brought no end of credit to his Alma Mater. SCURLOCK DENNIS SIMPSON The Windy City boy, is the course of a little more than two years, has made the Howard varsity football, basketball, baseball and track teams. Twenty-two years, one hundred ninety pounds, six feet one inch, plenty of grit, unusual ability and a very good brain have been his assets in placing him in a class by himself as an all-round athlete on the Hill. Simpson, named on some All-American Football Teams this year, flanks the left side of Howard's impregnable line. Simpson, basketer extraordinaire, cavorts in the forward position of the Blue and White quint. Simpson, speed merchant, fairly flies over the cinders for the Howard sprinters. Simpson, of whom too much cannot be said, guards the initial sack for the Bison nine. TALLADEGA FIVE FACES HARD MENU TALLADEGA FIVE FACES HARD MENU Twenty-five candidates under the direction of Coach Drewry at Talladega are winding up their second week of intensive training in preparation for a heavy basketball schedule. The two weeks of intensive training has consisted of passing, shooting, and general defensive work. A wealth of new material has been uncovered. The most promising men are Henry Williams, Joseph Robinson, and Kirkpatrick. With the promising men above together with Shorty Dixon, Speed Harris and Henry Cooper, of last year's quintet, the Tornado basketball outlook is very good. Coach Drewry is optimistic when questioned about this year's basketball team. He pointed out the fact that men out for the team this year are of more experience than those of past years in the basketball history of Talladega. Talladega will play Atlanta University, Alabama State, Morehouse College, Morris Brown University, Claplin College of Orangeburg, S.C., and Johnson C. Smith, of Charlotte, N.C. that both Linconl, University and the association needed the relationship of each other. During the afternoon session a special committee was appointed to meet Prof. Grimm in conference to discuss in every detail the relations existing between Lincoln and the association. Johnson C. Smith University was dropped from the association because of her inability to live up to promises made the association when she was accepted as a member. The failure on her part was a result of student management which promised things that the athletic authorities found it difficult and impossible to keep or live up to conditions. The C.I.A.A., felt that it was best for all concerned to drop Johnson C. Smith from membership in 'the association until athletic administration of the institution could be placed in the hands of responsible authority, when the institution could successfully assume the responsibility required of association members. All officers were re-elected and are as follows: T. L. Purayear, president; E. P. Hurt, J. W. Barco, L. P. Byarm, vice-presidents; C. H. Williams, secretary-treasurer; J. L. Whitehead, assistant secretary-treasurer. The next annual meeting will be held at Union University in Richmond on the corresponding dates in December 1927. The next annual be held at Union Richmond on the dates in December THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1926 THE REFLECTOR By Sam Lacy The High School eligibility rule for athletics states that no student with a rating of "D" shall be allowed to take part in any championship contest. The ruling is a good one, and this column supports it, and encourages the enforcement to the fullest extent, but— We emphatically deplore the unfortunate condition resulting from this enforcement at the last minute before the recent Dunbar Armstrong football game. Scholarship difficulties on that occasion were the cause of wiping out practically all members of the two teams. Of the 29 participants in the November 22 game, only 8 players had played as first string men on their respective teams, and knowledge of this handicap came to the two coaches only a few days prior to the big day. —in a set of a mipient to the see eleven Walt coaches make a amount to it the vars to you fain direct two of falling that we be no would cause. Bee The teachers are to be blamed. It is the fault of theirs if Coach Westmoreland or Coach Saunders or any other coach for that matter, uses a player throughout his preliminary preparation as a regular, and then at the last minute is told that, the player is ineligible, thus handicapping his team. A football mentor works hard to prepare his squad for the championship test. He sacrifices time, and energy. He labors diligently, and once—in the case of the Orange and Blue coach—to a degree of exhaustion. On the other hand, the remaining faculty members watch the games throughout the season, see these players—whom they know are neglecting their school work THE C. I. A. A. AWARDS HONORS HAMPTON WINS 1926 FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP AND FIRST LEG ON FRANK YOUNG TROPHY. Epps of Va. N. & I. I. Awarded Darden Trophy as Most Valuable Player to Team. HAMPTON, Va., Dec. 23—The special committee appointed to select the 1926 all-star team and to pick the best individual player submitted the following report at the 16th annual meeting of the C.I.A.A. held at A. and T College on December 10-11: All C.I.A.A. Teams Selected When it comes to picking the In this selection, everything is being considered, every qualification of the player or players. A man is not taken because he stars in one big game, not because he runs amuck on several weaker opponents, but he gets the call because he has proved his worth as a star in four or five big games, and has stood up under some of the roughest campaigning. Those coming in for honorable mention are: ends, Steele, of Smith; Streeter, A. and T.; Pegram, Va. Normal; tackles, Jeffries, Seminary; Ruffin, Union; Pierce, St. Paul; Ruffin, Hampton; guards, Williams, St. Paul; Banks, Hampton; Blue, Smith; centers, Tobin, Union; Boykins, St. Paul; quarterbacks, Henderson, A. & T.; Whedoe, Va. Seminary; other backs, LOCAL BOY TO ENTER SPRINGFIELD LOCAL BOY TO ENTER SPRINGFIELD Edward Chambers, local boy, now in his last year at Manassas Industrial School, is anticipating entering the Springfield College of Physical Education upon graduation from the Virginia Institution. For some time little Chambers has been an athlete of no mean ability, and that he should choose this course for future work preparation indicates an admirable interest, which is usually the forerunner of success. Chambers was chosen as All-Conference second string quarterback by a vote of the coaches of the Interstate High School Athletic Conference teams. The little Manassas helmsman was voted as being the brainiest back of 1926. He was indeed a shift, and speedy ball-carrier, and without a doubt was entitled to be chosen. "Ed" Chambers as he is generally known was responsible for four of his team's victories, single-handed. His thirty and thirty-seven-yard dropkicks were responsible for the wins Manassas —in action, witness the moulding of a machine in which each participant is a cog, and then come out to, the final clash and expect to see an eleventh hour, make-shift eleven make a decent showing. Wake up, you teachers! Give the coaches a fair chance. Why not make it a part of your very small amount of school interest to see to it that the teacher in charge of a varsity team is kept advised as to the progress of his players. If you faculty members, and this is for you all, would only warn the director of the team, that one or two of his first string men were falling behind in your subject and that without a brace there could be no hope of his eligibility, you would serve your school in a good cause. Because Messrs. Saunders and Westmoreland were forced to use minute-men elevens, the 1926 interscholastic football championship game resulted in a two player battle, as this paper described it. Because of the last minute removal of his regular backs the Red and Black coach was forced to use a half-back whose greenness allowed Armstrong's touchdown and only score. Because 8 of his 11 first rate men were lost at the last minute, Coach Westmoreland was seen approaching all the big fellows he met in the school corridors inducing them to make a bid for some of the vacant positions. The game ended 6 to 6 because a green Tech team could not prevent a Dunbar touchdown and a consequent tie. Reflections? Baker, Hampton; Wiggins, Va. Normal; Wilson, A. & T.; Thatcher, Hampton; Caviness, Smith; and Chambers, Shaw. According to the All-Star Committee of the C.I.A.A. which is composed of Wiley A. Johnson, Jr., chairman, Dr. S. F. Coppage, R. E. Clements, Garland Mackey, and L. U. Gibson, Epps was given the honor of being the most valuable player in the association. They stated: Most Valuable Player "Concerning the most valuable player to his team in the association, there has been little or no difficulty in the choosing. Epps of Virginia Normal towers above the SECOND TEAM R.E. Scott, Va. Seminary R.T. Williamson, St. Paul R.G. Tucker, Va. Seminary center Patterson, A. & T. L.G. Robinson, Hampton L.T. Tynes, Va. N. & I. L.E. Gardner, Union Q.B. Epps, Va. N. & I. I. H.B. Shields, Union H.B. Moore, Va. Seminary F.B. Lane, A. & T. rest of the lot and easily gets the assignment. He has been a potent factor in everything the Petersburg school has done. He has proved the backbone of the aggregation and the shining light of every campaign. Not that Virginia Normal was a one man team, but the work of Epps contributed largely to the victories garnered by the eleven and the many bold stands the team made in the face of very stiff and severe opposition." The cup given the individual player was donated to the association by Dr. James B. Darden of Petersburg, Va. Dr. Darden says in his letter: "It is my conviction that the athletes representing the various institutions of the association should be encouraged to put forth their very best efforts in a conscientious endeavor to develop themselves to the highest possible degree. To stimulate this kind of endeavor I desire to offer in competition a trophy. This trophy is to be awarded to the football player voted the most valuable to his team." FRAT CLASH MONDAY Two of Washington's leading fraternity basketball teams will clash, Monday afternoon, at the Colonnade. Omega Psi Phi's Delta Big "5" will meet the famed Four Horsemen of the Kappa Alpha Psi, in the first of the city's annual fraternal feuds. For some time these quints and their supporters have been bitter rivals. Each engagement has marked an exciting battle, and Monday's game is expected to be no exception. Already enthusiasm is high, and the public anxiously awaits a great game between two equally great teams. gained over the local Tech High School and the Douglass High respectively, and he scored the touchdown and extra point against Dunbar. He also turned defeat into victory in the Charlotteville High game when with the score 6-0 against his schoO, he scored the tying touchdown and winning extra point. In the Spring, Chambers runs the sprints for the Green and White cinderpath team, and his ability in this respect has gained him laurels worth mentioning. He is also a good baseball player, but the divided time in the Spring season is devoted mostly to track. --- Most Valuable Player HOWARD BASKETEERS DOWN ATHENIANS 31-24 HOWARD BASKETEERS DOWN ATHENIANS 31-24 BALTIMORE, Md.-Playing its first game of basketball for this season, Howard University, won from the Athenians of Baltimore in the New Albert Auditorium, Friday evening, December 10. The final score was 31 to 24. Getting off to a good start Howard had scored eight points before the Athenians could size up the situation. The five men defense and the new checking system that Coach Burr has been teaching his men, was working to perfection and Athenians encountered much difficulty in trying to penetrate Howard's defense.

HOWARD HOLDS ANNUAL FOOTBALL BANQUET HOWARD HOLDS ANNUAL FOOTBALL BANQUET Milfred "Biff" Martin Elected Captain of 1927 Team The annual banquet tendered the Howard football team by the Board of Athletic Control was held Wednesday evening, December 15, in the university dining hall. Besides the members of the football team, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of the university; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer; Dr. M. O. Dumas, member of the Board of Trustees; Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman, and the members of the Board of Athletic Control, were present. A special feature of the occasion was the presence of eight former captains of Howard football teams, including: Dean D. O. W. Holmes, 1896; Charles Pinderhughes, 1917; Dr. J. E. T. Camper, 1918; Lewis K. Downing, 1919; George D. Williams, 1922; Charles J. Doneghy, 1923; Raymond S. Dokes, 1924; and Edgar A. Long, 1925. Each of the former captains voiced appreciation to the entire football staff, and extended greetings from the members of their respective teams. Doctor E. P. Davis, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control, presided. Short speeches commending Coach Watson, Captain V. B. Smith, and the entire football team on the wonderful record of the past season were made by President Johnson; Doctor Scott, Doctor Dumas, Emory B. Smith, alumni and field secretary; members of the Board of Athletic Control; and Nolan A. Owens, president of the Howard University Student Council. "Biff" Martin Elected Captain As is usual custom, when the time arrived to elect a captain of the 1927 team, the members of the 1926 football squad retired from the banquet room and unanimously elected Milfred "Biff" Martin, center, of Washington, Pa., captain of the 1927 football team. In accepting the nomination Captain Martin expressed gratitude for the honor bestowed upon him and pledged his whole-hearted support in the 1927 campaign. A feature of the dinner was the surprise presentation to Coach Watson by Assistant Coach Long and Assistant Coach Dokes, of a gold chain to be used with the gold football recently presented Coach Watson by members of the 1926 football team. KAPPAS LOSE TO OMEGAS 19 TO 11 By J. W. Jones NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The Omega came back tonight and took the Kappas into camp—19-11. The work of both teams was slow and especially rough. Neither team was able to do much scoring in the first half, and it closed with the score at 6-6. In the second half, both teams started off at a lively gait. It was anybody's game until the last five minutes of play, when the Omegas gathered such a lead, that they could not be headed. Knox had his usual big night, getting away with twelve points. Townes, who was shifted to forward, annexed six points. Baileg did most of the scoring for his team, with 5 points, while Tompkins closely followed him with 3. Kapas Omegas Bailey (5) ..... F.Knox (c) (12) Smith (3) ..... F. Townes (6) Tompkins (3) c. C. Kent (1) Grant ..... G. Sealok Marshall ..... G. Greene Substitutions—(Kappas): Austin: (Omegas): Willhins, Maxwell. McKinney (Fisk) referee: Stewart (Shaw) mine. Taking the floor after intermission minus the services of Anita Gant, Minor, and Captain Stewart the Blue Triangle girls were unable to cope with the Howard rally, and at the end of the third period the score stood 16-14. No sooner had the last quarter began than Robinson, Blue and White mainstay caged the tying basket. In rushed the Y.W., first stringers and Minor's pair of double-deckers removed her team from the danger zone. Two foul goals by Miss Robinson in the last few minutes terminated the scoring. ingtonians who witnessed the sprint were surprised that a lad of their city was able to do the hundred only two-fifths of a second slower than Charles Paddock, who was at that time the holder of the official 100-yard dash record. Richardson has opened a lunch room at Fifth Avenue and 137th Street. 1 Why Be Disappointed in getting the date that you want for your Fall or Winter Dance at the Murray Palace Casino BOOK YOUR DATE NOW WHILE THE BEST DATES ARE OPEN TO PICK FROM. Office: 920 U Street, N. W. EASTERN FOOTBALL OFFICIALS ORGANIZE By Louis R. Lautier The organization of football officials into study groups in the localities in which they live with a view to improving officiating was endorsed at the annual meeting of the Eastern Board of Football Officials held last Saturday afternoon in the new Howard University gymnasium. The Eastern Board of Football Officials plans the organization of three study groups in the section in which it operates. One of these groups will be in Washington, another in Baltimore and a third in Norfolk, Va., taking in the football officials in the Tidewater section. It will be compulsory for members of the Eastern Board of Football Officials to belong to one of these study groups and meet for the purpose of studying the football rules at least once in every two weeks during the football season. A resolution endorsing the organization of similar study groups in various localities was also adopted. The study groups of the Eastern Board of Football Officials will interchange questions regarding the application and interpretation of the football rules. The program as adopted was proposed by A. Kiger Savoy, who opposed the extension of the Eastern Board of Football Officials into a national organization. Mr. Savoy took the position that the Eastern Board should not attempt to cover the entire field but should remain in its own section and have its members make an intensive study of football rules and their interpretation. L. U. Gibson agreed with Mr. Savoy. The officers elected for the ensuing year were A. Kiger Savoy, president, and Dr. I. N. Cupid, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Savoy succeeds Dr. E. B. Henderson, who refused to be a candidate for reelection. Dr. Cupid was re-elected despite his declination. Upon his induction into office, the new president expressed confidence in the ability of his race to do things and urged upon his fellow officials to study the rules and cooperate with each other. "This important work," said Mr. Savoy, "and any work that attracts people by the thousands in an afternoon, demands study. Men must study and continue to study, if they are going to be efficient." He told the officials present to be sympathetic with each other while officiating and to take their full share of the responsibility for every decision, no matter by whom it is made. There are three teams on the field of play. Mr. Savoy declared. They are the two competing teams, he said, and "the team of officials, playing a third but highly important part—a part that can mar the work of the other two teams if not well done." He urged officials to have team spirit when playing on that third team and to accept a share in the responsibility for every decision. The football officials present at the meeting were Dr. E. B. Henderson, the retiring president; Dr. I. N. Cupid, Edgar Westmoreland, Louis L. Watson, John Burr, L. U. Gibson, A. Kiger Savoy, Raymond Contee, C. L. Pinderhughes, Benjamin Washington, C. E. Jackson, Haley G. Douglass and Theodore Chambers. Officials newly elected to membership were C. S. Elder and Welford Jackson. The next meeting of the Eastern Board of Football Officials will be held next September at a time and place to be designated by the president. After the meeting there was a dinner at Harrison's Cafe, 455 Florida Avenue, Northwest. FORMER SHAW AND DUNBAR ATHLETE IN BUSINESS NEW YORK CITY. — Roland Richardson, a speed merchant, formerly a student of Shaw Junior and Dunbar High Schools of Washington, D.C., is at present in business here. Richardson, a product of "Ike" Cupid, director of physical training at Shaw, once stepped the century in 9.8 seconds, on the Howard University track. Wash- "Benny" Hill was the main cog in the Carlisles' works last Thursday night, when before a slim attendance the Omega Psi Phi Delta Big "5" fell before the 1925 City Champions 23-18. Garnering five baskets and a foul for a total of eleven points, the little forward made life miserable for the Gold and Purple. He alone was the one basketkeeper on the court who was not off form. "Ev" Davis his diminutive running mate could not find the cords until the second round. There is very little can be said about the game, other than that very little good basketball was displayed. The first seven minutes long of end a 2 to 1 score, by virtue of Cobb's field goal and Hill's free toss. Roughness played a great part throughout, and in spots the contest was decidedly slow. Evidently, the frat boys had practiced very little; and, that Conway's tossers just barely won, was a surprise even to the most optimistic Greek Letter rooters. Near the close, Omega staged a rally which brought the Blue and White lead down from 11 to 5 points. Omega hopes, beginning to rise, were suddenly blasted at the sound of the final whistle.

Shiloh Conquers National Benefit In the second half of the doubleheader at the Y.W.C.A., last Saturday night, the Shiloh girls defeated the National Benefit girls by a 2-1 score. * Basketball togs, football tactics, and a baseball score, is the best description that can be offered. Miss Bundy, guard on the church team made the field goal, and won the game—I mean contest for her team. Really, the young lady made two field goals, but the other was disallowed when the heartless referee ruled she took more than four steps with the ball. These, Mr. Burr, the official said, were more than the rules allow on Saturday nights. Near the close of the game, Miss Ethel Bruce, National Benefit star, was kayed for the count. The game was help up while the little Green and White forward received attention, but as she was out for longer than the count of ten the affair had to be finished without her. Miss Allen, captain of the National quint scored the total number of points for her team by a successful free throw. Howard Girls Lose to Y.W.C.A. Before a fairly good mixed attendance the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., Five won from the Howard University Girls 20-18, last Saturday night in the first of the two "Y.W." League games. The first half was a rout for the "Y" girls, who compiled a total of 16 points while the university coeds were garnering 6.

BOY SCOUTS GET SWIMMING LESSONS By Percell Pride On December 16th at Dunbar Swimming Pool, the Boy Scouts reeeived their first instructions from H. H. Howerton swimming instructor and Mr. H. Walker, life guard from the Y.. Most of the boys were given a test in order to ‘see what condition they were in and to me what improvements could be made. A trial test was given between Brisco De Salles of froop 807 and James Halloway of Troop 505 with De Salles the winner. At the close of the swimming lesions, 1. K. Howerton and H.

Liberal Progressive Independent "THE NEW NEGRO" AND THE OLD Of the making of books about legroes there is no end in sight. o much attention has been given o Carl Van Vechten's "Nigger leaven" that sight has been lost f books that have a substantial nd permanent interest. In this las come the books of Dr. Carter i. Woodson. To one interested in the literature dealing with the Negro, Dr. Voodson's "Negro Orators and their Orations" (to mention one if his later books), deserves the most painstaking perusal. The fadists, the amateurs, the strivers, he circles and various clubs of books and literary lovers might well devote some attention to Negro Orators and Their Orations." It is a view of the Negro if the nineteenth century for the most part, and serves to correct in unfortunate impression created by Dr. A. L. Locke's "The New Negro." Anyone of even superficial literary and critical equipment who will read both books cannot fail to reach the conclusion that Dr. Locke has not after all discovered a fundamentally "new Negro." Dr. Woodson's book of orations shows that the old Negro—if we may use a term in contradistinction to Dr. Locke's "New Negro"—wanted a "place in the sun"; that he was striving for freedom, truth and light; that, though he was deprived of the opportunities for culture and education which the new Negro enjoins and of which he not in- tly makes flamboyant dis- says, the old Negro improved to utmost the meager and inade- ate opportunities which he did ave, and showed no mean skill in the use of the English language as a vehicle of thought. So far as we can see, the new Negro is but a lineal descendant of the old Negro in aims, ideals and struggles. The new Negro looks a bit more imposing than the old Negro; he wears better clothes; he spends more money; he attends more dances and makes up more petting parties; he is rather more self-conscious and self-centered, and, in all truth and fairness, he is better educated; he writes on the whole, better English; he has a wider range of knowledge. But if these things are true, and we believe they are, it is because this new Negro is standing on a pedestal erected by the old Negro. The new Negro is nothing more nor less than the old Negro with bobbed hair, short skirts and paint and powder. LIBERIA Two weeks ago the congress of the little republic of Liberia voted a ninety-nine-year lease of one million acres of land suitable for rubber production, and also two hundred thousand acres which were planted sixteen years ago and which are now producing, to the Firestone Plantations, Ltd. of Akron, Ohio. It is estimated that it will require an expenditure of $100,000,-000, to reclaim from its jungle condition this one-million-acre concession. It is said by those who ought to know that these lands when fully developed will produce four hundred million pounds of rubber annually, which is about half the present yearly consumption of rubber in the United States. The Firestones, it is said, have, for a year, been working their concession under a preliminary agreement with the government of Liberia. It is stated that young Harvey Firestone, a graduate of Princeton in the class of 1920, put over the ground work of this im- A. B. ```markdown ``` Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON BUREN PUBLISHING COMPANY mense and far-reaching concession. The President of the United States recently sent Carmi Thompson, of Ohio, to the Philippines on a mission whose purpose, it appears, was principally to look into conditions of rubber production. The question of rubber is fundamentally connected with the question of the independence of the Philippines, which means that no one now living will see those Pacific island a free and independent nation. The voting of, this concession to the Firestones by the Congress of Liberia, in all probability, means the ultimate extinction of free government in that republic. The venerable Solomon Hood, United States Minister to Liberia, has already "resigned" his post, and a white man is now acting as charge d' affaires, although a colored man, secretary of legation, is there and in the regular order of diplomatic procedure should be the charge d' affaires. This is an early indication of the drift of things. In the not distant future the marines may be sent there, and a "commissioner," as in the case of Hayti, may, in a few years, be discharging executive functions—the president of the black republic, being merely a rubber stamp. Experience in Central America in Hayti, and in Santo Domingo, has shown that the marines follow "American interests," a euphremism for concessions. Liberia is weak and defenseless and is following in the wake of all weak governments. Weakness has always been—and is now—an invitation to aggression, exploitation and oppression. Here is another lesson—the weak must either become strong, or be dispossessed of what they now have. FALL AND DOHENY Last week a jury in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia rendered a verdict acquitting Albert B. Fall, who was Secretary of the Interior, during the Harding administration, and Edward L. Doheny, multi-millionaire, of the charge of conspiracy in connection with oil leases on government naval reserves. The verdict of the jury seems not in accord with the public opinion of the country, outside of the District of Columbia, as is evidenced by the expressions of the great majority of the daily papers in the larger cities. Fall and Doheny were, by means not inconsistent with existing legal procedure, able to delay coming to trial more than three years after having been indicted. So far, no suggestion has been made that this long delay would furnish an excuse for an enraged mob to take the acquitted persons out some night and lynch them, except a single expression made by Senator Heflin, of Alabama, on the floor of the United States Senate. The New York Times suggests that the acquittal in this case may result in a reform of criminal legal procedure to obviate the unreasonable delays which have occurred in this case. When one considers existing standards of morality and justice in this country it is difficult to believe that men of the connections and wealth of Fall and Doheny can be convicted of any charge, regardless of evidence and the absence of doubt as to the conclusiveness thereof. "The pure and impartial administration of justice is one of the firmest bonds of the people to the government," says the author of the Letters of Junius. 2105 12th St., N.W. HAMPTON SINGERS THRILL HEARERS AT LIBRARY OF CONGRESS When a Washington audience proves demonstrative in its aplaeuse of a performance, it is something well worth while. That is what the audience did on hearing the Hampton Institute Choir, Dr. Nathaniel Dett, leader, last Friday evening in the Coolidge auditorium at the Library of Congress. Strictly speaking the affair was distinctive in that for the first time colored singers were accorded the honor of an appearance in a strictly certified program of music. A capacity crowd greeted the singers and from the opening selection enthusiasm, growing in intensity every minute, broke out in subdued but joyous ecstasy over the swelling tides of music which seemingly all but engulfed the throng. These singers—wonder group that they are under the magic spell of a young master—came from Hampton to sing in a series of concerts now running at the Library and they conquered their hearers. They all had good voices, but their overwhelming success lies in their exquisite ensemble work, their perfect balance, their fine and delicate shading, their sweet, velvety tones throughout, and their clear enunciation and their "flow" without effort and never a hair's breadth off the pitch. They phrase artistically; their style is beautiful, and it is difficult to tell where one voice begins and the other leaves off. At times they get effects like a string quartet, and at other times like an organ, and they sing literally like one voice. Their mezzo voice is beautiful. They start their songs much as one would start an easy conversation, with no evidence of having sounded the key note. The Negro classics, especially Dr. Dett's own compositions, proved inspiring and struck popular fancy. The entire program was both resourceful and satisfying, making this choir a factor to be reckoned with in this country in any elimination finals of the sort. The members of the Cardinal Gibbons Dollar-a-Year Club of the various parishes met at the church of the Holy Redeemer last Sunday to make final plans to extend the dollar-a-year club idea throughout the country. Mr. A. C. Manahan, executive secretary of the board of directors of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute was the principal speaker. Mr. J. Hawkins, mayor of Brentwood, Md., was present and made a brief address. A charity party which proved to be the jolliest of the pre-Christmas functions was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Alonza Burke on Monday evening, December 20. The annual election of officers of the Holy Name societies was held in the following two branches: St. Cyprian's re-elected all of the officers for another year. St. Augustine's re-elected all officers except Mr. Cornish, the financial secyas elected financial secretary. Miss Genevieve Cropp, directress and organist of the junior choir of the church of the Good Shepherd was buried from that church with solemn requiem high mass on Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. The Second District Commandry, Knights of St. John, are preparing for their thirty-first anniversary which will be celebrated by a reception to be held on Monday, January 17.

LESLIE FRAZIER; Editor CHRISTMAS SPIRIT (1st Prize Story) By Louise Johns "Evelyn," exclaimed Mrs. Barley, "you may go and see after Alice for I will not need you any more tonight." "Yes, ma'am," replied Evelyn, who was very grateful and owe- dient to Mrs. Barley. Evelyn and her sister Alice had been left orphans since a year ago, when the town where they lived had broken out with a terrible disease which had taken their mother and father. This was a disaster to the poor little children, for there was no relation or friend to whom they could go. The fact is if it had not been for Alice, Evelyn could have gone in most any home in Morrisville. This was the name of the town. Evelyn would not be separated from her sister who was only six years old. At this time a widow by the name of Mrs. Barley, had opened a boarding house, and was looking for an errand girl. She heard of Evelyn's, and her sister's misfortune. She told Evelyn if she would come with her to run errands, and help around the house, that she would in return board her, allow her to live in the attic room, and also, bring her sister Alice. To Evelyn, this was the happiest day of her life. She gladly accepted the offer. Mrs. Barley did not really like having Alice around, but as she could not find another girl, she thought it was wise to grasp this opportunity. The night of the twenty-third of December, the snow was covering the ground for Christmas. Mrs. Barley had dismissed Evelyn early that night for the purpose of having her rise early in the morning to do the Christmas cleaning and make ready for some of the new boarders, who were to arrive. When Evelyn went in her room that night, she for the first time realized that Christmas was only one day off. Alice insisted that her sister tell her a story about Santa Claus before going to bed. She listened eagerly to the story and went to bed after her sister had promised to help her write a letter to Santa the next night. After the day's work was done, Evelyn keeping her promise, asked Mrs. Barley for a sheet of paper. Mrs. Barley asked her what she was going to do with it. When she learned of the purpose, she smiled and handed it to Evelyn. Alice and Evelyn sat close to the fireplace and wrote a letter to Santa Claus. About nine-thirty, after the two children had gone to bed, Mrs. Barley crept softly into the attic room and read the letter, which they had left on the mantlepiece. The letter read: "Dear Santa Claus: Please bring us something for Christmas. We are poor and anything will do. Merry Christmas, Alice and Evelyn." Mrs. Barley's heart was opened at this, so she hurried to the corner store and played the part of Santa Claus. You may be sure that there were no happier children in all Morrisville, than Alice and Evelyn that Christmas. A THRILLING CHRISTMAS By Evelyn J. Robins (2nd Prize Story) It was only two days before Christmas, and the snow was very deep. Little John, Albert, and James were having a jolly time. James said, "John, I bet Santa Claus is going to treat you swell this year." "Santa Claus!" said James, "Where do you fellows get that Santa Claus stuff from? Ha! Ha! Ha!" Albert said, "My mother told me that when little boys and girls lose faith in Santa Claus, he doesn't visit them any more." "Well," said James. "I don't be- Your Big Opportunity Do you want to make big money quicker and easier than ever before? Do you want to give your full time or spare time and be handsomely paid for it?

LOUIS, MO., U.S.A. lieve in him, and I will get something for Christmas just the same." Just then James' mother called him. He called to his comrades, and said "Bye, Bye, Santa Clauses." The next day was Christmas Eve, and James' father sat down to have a chat with his son as usual. He said "Well, son, tonight Santa Claus will go all over the world to visit little boys and girls." "Daddy," said James, "why do you try to fool me about Santa Claus? I am ten years old, and I know better than to believe your tales." "Oh!" said his father, "I am going to call Santa Claus up, and tell him what you said. I am afraid you will be sorry for your remarks, young man. Moreover it is your bed time." James slept soundly, and awoke early Christmas morning. He dressed quickly, and ran down to the parlor, but did not see anything. Then he became anxious. "Mother," said James, "don't I get anything for Christmas this year?" "I don't know," said his mother, "but here is a letter Santa Claus left for you." James took the letter eagerly, but soon became sad. Here is what he read:— Dear James: I am sorry that you have lost faith in me. I visit the little girls, and boys who believe in me. Therefore I had to pass you by this year. —Santa Claus James was very sad, and began to cry. Just then the telephone rang, and his mother answered it. It was his godmother and she wished to speak to James. "James," said his godmother, "Santa Claus was here last night, and left all of your Christmas presents here for you, and told me to tell you never to lose faith in him again." "Oh! godmother, I will be a good boy, hereafter, and I will trust Santa Claus forever." He was so happy that he apologized to John, and Albert, for telling them that Santa Claus was not real. SAINT NICHOLAS By Gloria Spriggs (3rd Prize Story) Do not think that you are very sharp and clever to have found out how the toys and candies come to you on Christmas Eve. It is one of the great mysteries of life. Once upon a time there lived a rich young man who tried (because he so much admired the kind and gentle character of Christ) to make his money give other people happiness. He went about placing coins and gifts in homes of poor people, he did good in secret—the name of this young man was Nicholas. When he died people said, "He has done more for the happiness and good of the world, than has any great generals of the world. Learn from this story that a beautiful character is more powerful than any fairy. Understand that your presents at Christmas are given to you in secret only that you, when you grow up, may follow the examples of Nicholas (whom we call St. Nicholas) and thus learn to give without telling. Santa Claus, even if he comes in your father's or mother's body, is still the loving spirit of the good Nicholas.
