PRINCIPAL. MOTEN ADDRESSES
GRADUATES.
In presenting diplomas to the grad
yates, Principal Moten spoke as fol-
lows:
Il am authorized by the Board OF
Trustees of this Institution on the
recommendation of the faculty to
present to you THESE diplomas, in rec
ognitton of 1.-THE fact that you have
completed with crideit, certain pre-
scribed courses in the institute.
These diplomas admit you into
the ranks of that large number of
Tuskegee men and women who have
service to their race and their coun-
try. They have served with wisdom
and fidelity. They have for many
years rejoiced the heart of the found
er and the workers in this institu-
ton. Their labors have brought COM
fort and happiness to many commun-
tiles and in many parts of this land.
Wherever they have gone they have
Joined hands with the element in
in the community that has stood for
the highest and best; the purest and
the noblest. They have Joined the
forces that have made for the high
est development They have never
been ashamed or afraid to work, and
while they have been men and women
of the highest courage and have
never been blind to injustice or I'M
fairness. and have condemned crime
unflinchingly, at the same time they
have seen the good in both races
and have worked faithfully, honestly,
patiently and very successfully to
bring about harmonies and helpful
relations between denominations and
F.... -. Lea
between the black and white races.
In so doing they have universally
gotten the respect and confidence Of
the community and have had the
strong and most helpful encourage
men and backing. not only from
their own race, but equally as much
from the white race.
Graduates Have Fine Chance
What these graduates of Tuskegee
have done. we expect you to do. In
many ways you have greater oppor-
tunities than they had. The world
in this restless period is asking for
but sane leadership.
White people never consulted the
wishes OF Colored people with ref
erence to their own dealings with
Colored people as much as they do
today. The white people of the South
and North too. were never more an
vious to be. just and fair in their
dealings with and relations to our
race than they are now. Our own
race never needed more the stabiliz-
ing influences of trained men and
women than today. What a wonder
full chance you have. What wonder

|S5-DOLLAR HORSE
 HAS WON $45, ,0O0
 OVER THE JUMPS

Transformed from d despised year ling which was sold for SS5 into a champion steeplechaser valued at $50 900, Mrs. Hugh Peers bay gelding, Poethlyn. 10 years old is the most talked-of horse in England.
 In the course of his career he has earned more than s45.000, to which he is expected to add s25 000 depending upon the result of the Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase, to be run over the Aintree course of four miles and S56 yards on March 27. While British turf oracles agree that he is the greatest jumper in the world, they decry the folly of backing him for the most exact ing of all turf tests with the event three months away. Nevertheless, the backing he is receiving is unprecedent- ed. The Aintree has reduced odds against him from 10 to 1 to to 1. In some instances big commi ssions have been placed at to ?.
 Why is this confidence reposed in him? Because he has not been beaten since 1917, has run one dead heat in a welterweight race on the flat, has won in succession 12 races. among them the War National al Gatwicl<, of 1918, and the Grand National of 1919. and the top weight in March will be 175 pounds, an imposts imilar to that under which he won the big event last March. Further more, nearly all ther aces in which he has figured in the last two years have been handicaps in most of which he has carried top weights.

Requests Weeks Postpone ment of Event to Enable Time to Send Crew

By A..ociat,d Prs,

Cambridge, Mass.. January 2s-
 An informal request hns been sent
 to England that the English Henley
 regatta be held a week later than
 planned so that Harvard university
 may send crew to defend, and
 Yale possibly challenge, for the
 grand challenge cup, it was learned
 today. The request was contained
 in letter from a man closely in
 touch with Harvard rowing and was addressed to nm English rowing
 enthusiast, whose interests are as-
 associated with the Henley stew
 ards.
 It was pointed out that with the regatta to begin June 30, Harvard which holds the cup through the vic tory of its crew in the last grand chal- lenge race, could not defend because there would be no time to send crew to England after the Harvard at New London June %. Yale according to the letter, is considering the matter of challenging for the cup but would be similarly affected.

 The B. A. c. quintet is improving rapidly now, and. if game is pro- cured with the Pacific coast team, a championship may rest with Birlning ham, The 1920 Los Angeles team is practically the same as that, of l9l" which won the title, so a victory over this quintet would in all probability mean 8 championship.

 Tom Spring was held so cheaply prior to his fight with Jack Carter on May 4, s1S1s, that to l was offered against him. and to ] was laid that he wouldn last 30 minutes.
 For Carter ranked as marvellous fighter with terrible power in his punches, whereas Spring a light hitter and having only speed and skill as his vital assets, wasn't reckoned to have a chance.
 But Spring simply jabbed the huge Carter to point of exhaustion. Round after round he pranced in, landed a tap
