Hikel Aea6egs 4 you hit 'em low
yoal - - sv9ky time. At last the
dear old collags gasns Is underw ~.
Already eoaehn ne beginning to
pick thsir -. The guy that told
you last sum1Aaf Tit he was foot
ball player has rot 70 show you now
or else Join - Ananias club.
Indicaticas Ne that West will
sweep the ha1 this year. She has an
unusual amount u excellent material
They say where there's smoke there
must be some hre. Where "Stub"
Stewart . there also is a football
team. Nuf -! We have heard o.
freless eookers, though. You joy
killer.
North i looming up as a strong
contender Tor city honors this year.
She also has : large amount of ma
terial Although not so we'll seasoned
as the West High bunch, they can be
counted on t. put up lively scrap.
At our last writing ten colored boys
were out AZ this time we're only
having i've answer present to the roll
call. Too bod our fellows don't stick
better. You can't expect to be put on
the first squad the first time you see
football. You must think your nat
ural ability i something phenomenal.
It takes fight to make football team.
You cant get on on your natural
beauty.
East hasn't . large a squad out for
training - West or North, but she
has one q the fastest punches that
we've ever seen. There is only one
old man left in the line, Amsberry, the
tackle. COMBS, the captain, is still
on the border and if he gets back it
win certainly help the problem some.
One bright spot in the East aggrega-
ton from our point of view is Ashby,
colored Id from Boone. Ashby ap-
pears TO Be one Of the best halfbacks
that we've seen in q long time, and If
he lives up 70 his reputation will cer-
tainly help the East bunch do the
thing that's foremost in their minds,
beat West High. OF course there's
our old friend, Cecil Stone, that makes
them III Mt mp and take notice.
The tie game played Labor day be-
tween Riyerview& and the Des
Moines Giants was played off last
Sunday, the colored boys shutting out
their white opponents s to 0. Kelley
Davis did the twirling for the Giants
and not : Riverview player reached
third base, only two getting as far as
second, only two hits were credited to
the Riverviev team. The Giants had
little trouble locating Mickie and he
retired ii the seventh in favor Of
Sczrpino. Barber, the Giants third
haseman, did some nice fielding and
good batting.
The Naroons met last Tuesday and
elected Herbert Whitfield captain
CoscA Alexander was officially intro
duced 70 tie boys and made short
talk outiininx plans for the coming
season First practice will be held Iat
Twenty-frst and High next Sunday at

an ssGthesa4 by the return of
Mcclure, who was to enter the Chi
cago Art Academy at Chicago, but re-
turned because thev would not accept
Hin. WHIT The Chicago Art Acad-
envy is U.e Of the two art schools in
the country that offers a course in
newspaper cartooning. Mcclure has
talent along cartooning lines. He was
intelligent enough to realize that re-
CARELESS Of his natural ability, train
ing, and only the best of it, would
make him what he wanted to be. With
this in view he has for the last couple
of wears denied himself the social
privileges and good times most of US
enjoy. saved his pennies and dreamed
of the day when he could enter the
Chicago Art school. During the sum-
smer he corresponded with them and
received every encouragement. At
last the day TO enter came. Mcclure
. entered, yes, as far as the registrars
Office, and 10 twas discovered that
Mcclure was cOlored. What's the use
Of explaining further. Sorry, but no
arrangements can be made to accept
you. II simply isn't our policy to &C.
cent colored students. 1t is needless
to sneak Of how much time and mon
ev Mcclure has lost besides the en-
barrassment.a We'd like to remind
aoanA q our folks that Chicago isn't
ii Georgia either. One bright fea-
ture. however, is that Mcclure is I'M
daxated. He says he's only delayed,
not stopped, as he is planning to en-
ter the art school in Boston next
term.
/ wonder what does the girl who
used "a say, clips that touch liquor
shalltneyertouch mine,' think Of temp
brew.
Il there's any guy we do detest it is
the ruy who goes away to college and
comes back 50 ALFRED sanitary that
when his poor old mother goes to kiss
him he turns her his cheek.
