ADVICE TO NEGROES

The National League on Urban Con-
ditions among Negroes has issued the
following circular letter:
Negroes in large numbers are leav-
ing the South for the North. Many
are securing good positions. Those
who are sober and respectable and
know how to give an honest days toll
are holding their positions. The in
dolent, inefficient men, however, are
500 discharged, become a burden to
the Northern communities and bring
reproach and humiliation to thrifty
colored citizens in communities
where white people have not hitherto
considered Negroes desirables.
The National League on Urban Con-
ditions among Negroes urges the
right-thinling Negroes of the South
and everywhere to discourage the
wholesale migration of shiftless peo-
pie between any two points, be they
North or South. The League also
warns Negroes against fraudulent
agents who are collecting employment
fees and who disappear oon after
wards.
Negro labor is in demand. Use
that fact TO improve the efficiency OF
that labor by demanding-First, bet
ter wages where the wages of color
ed men are below the current wage;
second, better working conditions so
that your health will not be impaired
by the work you do; third, better liv.
ing conditions both for yourself and
family, so that your efficiency as a
worker will not be impaired by living
conditions which prevent proper rest
and recreation to fit you for the days
labor, and base these demands on the
facts that all these things will make
your work more valuable to yourself
and to your employer and make fol-
better feeling between the races.
The National Urban League urges
Negroes everywhere to take advan
tage of this great industrial oppor
tunity to work in cooperation will
their local neighbors whether Nortl
or South, for the improvement of con
ditions which will affect both races.

HOWARD DEFEATED BY HAMPTON

hands of Hampton's speedy machine.

gives Hampton the claim to the cham
pionship title of 1916.
Hampton was the victor to the tune
of IL to 8. Much credit is due the
'Seasiders," for they were playing on
strange grounds before thousands of
Howard sympathizers. Yet they
proved that it is not the crowd that
wins the game. A fresh grave has been
made for the H%owardites to remain in
until next year.
Hampton broke the record by using
10 men to defeat Howard, while the
Howardites used 20.

himself or was accidentally shot, ac.

revolver in New York City. His wife,
on hearing of the news in Buffalo, died
from the shock. Charley Case was a

formerly appeared with and associated

Philadelphia. Later he passed for

also amassed a fortune as the high

In picking an All Missouri Valley
team the principle to be followed lies
in selecting men who could be formed
into a combination that could defeat
any eleven in the section. But it is
a risky business-always there is
some team sighted, some player no
given his just desert. However, as
letters have been sent to coaches of
all the leading teams and officials re.
questing them to send in their selec-
ton, If they respond you will not have
a One-Man Team, but rather a com.
posite eleven.
The back field, as shown in my Sc.
lection, is especially powerful. Two

for speed they are about the fastest
and most versatile set that has ever
graced the gridiron. Put any one of
these men back on kick formation and
give him a little interference, the OPP
ponents would look like dray horses
in a two.minute trotting race.
Kelly stands head and shoulders
above all quarter backs who played
this season. Willis, his closest rival,
cannot handle the ball as clearly nor
gain as much ground. Tibbs and Man

they are called, while Snake" is the

Booty" Brown was undoubtedly the
steadiest performer of the year and
could always be relied upon. Foster
is a capable guard, follows the ball
well and stops nearly all play aimed
at him.
Coates at center of w. U. was u
questionably the greatest pivot man
by long odds. He was a terror on the
defense, quick to size up a play and
when hat 10 pounds of human flesh
hit a back coming through the line or
