SIMMONS AN APOLOGIsT
His Talks Not Helpful and Inspiring
but Please the White People Who
Segregate the CoIored PEOPLE.
(FrOm the Boston Guardian

(F'rom the Boston Guardian.)
Houston, Tex, March 1t appears
from an editorial in our esteemed con-
temporary, "The Texas Freeman"
that Roscoe Conkling Simmons did
not state the whole truth in his ad-
dress in the City Auditorium at Hous-
ton recently. The Freeman calls
much of Simmons talk rot" Here
is part of the Freeman's criticism:
THE Freeman has no grievance
against Colonel Simmons, but it says
openly and above board that the rot
he handed out in Houston, especially
at the City Auditorium, was not help
1ul or inspiring at all, but on the other
hand, was what the white people who
segregate and humiliate the colored
man every time he turns around want
to hear when the apologists and trim
mers of the race come among them
with their taffy"

CANDIDATE FOR WEST
POINT.

1t has been so long since a congress-
man of any of the states has been fair
enough, man enough and unafraid to
appoint colored boy as a candidate
for West Point, that it is quite re-
freshing and gratifying to find an ex-
ception in Congressman L. C. Dyer
of Missouri, who appointed Richard w.
Jackson, aged 10, a graduate Of Sum-
ner High School, st. Louis, as prin-
cipal candidate for the Nations Mill
tary Academy. There have been sew
eral colored boys appointed to West
Point in former years, but only two
were able to withstand the strenuous,
outrageous treatment accorded them

Does This Interest You?

On a certain farm of four acres in
the Lake Phalen district in 1918 crop
Of 400 bushels of navy beans was
raised, harvested and sold at $500 per
bushel; in 1919 owing to certain condi-
tons, only 200 bushels were raised
which sold for $3.50 per bushel. The
owner of this little farm is unable to
work it this year, and wishes to Sc
cure a man who understands raising
beans to work the land. The owner
will furnish the land the machinery
and the seed and divide the proceeds
on a $3.50 basis. All the man will
have to do is to perform the work
necessary to raise the beans. If this
interests anyone apply at TILE APP

NAVY READY FOR BUCKNELL.
Cadets Have Practfsed Against
Plays Used by Rival College.

Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Oct. 1.-THE last
hard practice OF the week was held at
the Naval Academy this afternoon. To-
morrow the period will be limited and
will be devoted to a final pointing up
for the game with Buclnell on Saturday.
Bucknell Is expected to give the Navy a
hard game after defeating Ursinus by a
big score last Saturday. Lieutenant
Commander Richardson, one Of the
Academic coaches. saw that contest and
was impressed with the power and speed
OF the Bucknell team. He has been
using Bucknell formations this week
with his scrub team against tho regu-
lars.
There was a good deal of kicking this
afternoon, all the backs getting a chance
to receive the ball. Noyes and Kochler
are expected to do the punting Satur-
day. Neither Is really a strong punter
though Noyes is improving steadily and
gets his kick or promptly. Most of the
remaining time was given to formation
drills. the scrimmage being short. The
same Observation-Disclosures. Cruise, Noyes
and Barchett-which has played to-
gether the whole week was used in the
regular lineup this afternoon and will
start Saturday. barring accidents. 1t

during the week. and the plays are car
ried out with greater smoothness.

CORNELL SQUAD IS
PHYSICALLY FIT
Point Worth Emphasizing
About Ifhocans.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
ITHACA, N. Y. Oct. 14.-Cornell's
practice for the Union game reached
the climax this afternoon in a three
hour drill. which tested the physical
fitness Of the squad. as weather condi-
tons were Of the August variety. Coach
Dobie must have been we'll satisfied
with the condition his men have at
tanned because none showed any more
than natural fatigue at the end OF the
scrimmage, which as usual was aimed
at perfecting individual plays. This
physical fitness is one Of the things
worth emphasizing in connection with
this years Cornell football team.
From end to end the varsity was
made up as in last Saturdays game,
but the appearance of Hoff at quarter
back and Mayer at right half suggested
that Dobie was contemplating two back
field changes. Hoff has been understudy-
ing Carey at quarterback, but lately
he has come along rapidly and his
handling of the team in the second half
last Saturday was considered superior
20 that Of the regular.
Mayer is back in form after a ten
days slump. He is likely to replace
Livingston at right half, because of
physical superiority and also because
he is one of the few experienced and
alert defensive backs on the squad.

who is regarded as the leading singles
player in Australia, while Washburn

BUNK HARRIS LOST
TO COLUMBIA ELEVEN
Star Quarterback to Be Re-
placed by Eccles.

From information given out last night
at the Columbia training headquarters
1t was learned that Bunk" Harris, the
star quarterback, will not be in the
lineup for the Amherst game to-mor-
row. The Blue and White coaches can
not deny that the handicap Will be a
serious one and may be sufficient to
turn the tide in the Connecticut col
legians' favor.
Coach -O'Neill would not divulge the
name Of the man who will be chosen to
fill Harris's place, but 1t is almost GER
tain that Eccles will pilot the team.
Eccles acted as quarter last year after
Quigley left college. and ran the team
in the Brown game, and furthermore
he Is the only candidate who has been
having consistent drill in handling the
varsity since the N. Y. u. game.
Yesterdays practice consisted mainly
in drill in the fourth down. ten yards
to go" formation, each team kicking
whenever the ball was in its possess
sion. The ball was run back by the
receiving side. but no more strenuous
scrimmage was INDUCED In. O'Netll
spent time in rehearsing some new for
nations. which may have to be used II
the straight football Columbia has been
using SO far falls to force the Amherst
gridders down the field.
The loss of Harris takes away the
only accurate forward pass hurler on
the Mornirgside team. ONeill tried
Burt and Eccles with little success.
which may take the aerial attack en-
tirely out of the Blue and White roper
toire and force the use of the news plays
that are being rehearsed.
Applebaum returned to the squad yes
terday for the first time in over three
weeks and went through light signal
drill. Apple" will not be used against
Amherst. as his knee Is still stiff. and
will be kept in reserve for the big
games at the end of the season.
