NEGRO ATHLETES
By Charles r. Howard.

At Drake University, Des Moines,
Iowa, on April "a, 1920 was held the
18th annual Drake relays.
At these relays 523 athletes COM
peted before more than COCO spec
tators. Four records were broken
and the famous Ames two mile re-
lay team came within is of second
of equaling the worlds record. For
that event, had Higgins who ran
second for Amos, not stumbled, APP
parcntly on the curve inside the
track, Ames would, possibly, have
esta blished new. worlds record, the
time being 1853 10.
The 100 yard dash was the feature
event of the day. In this event was
entered Shottz Of Missouri, Prescott
of Illinois. Losch of Michigan, Colby
of Iowa, Drew, the Drake Colored
sprinter. Lodwich of Ames, who was
credited with 10 seconds the Satur-
day before, Cleeworth of South Da-
kota, who has an unofficial record OF
0 2-5 seconds and many lesser lights
SO many were entered in the spe-
cial 100 that it was necessary to run
il OF in heats. In the first heat were
| ShoHz, Colby, Loseh, Prescott and
three others. From the crack of the
gun Shohz jumped into the lead and
was never thereafter in danger. He
eased up at the finish and was given
! 10 seconds for his heat. Colby fin
ished second, Losch third. In the
second heat, Drew used the. same tao
ties; at rs yds he made slight recon
Nuisance of his field, and, finding
himself comfortably in the lead, h.
eased up and was given 10 2-5 sec
onds. In this heat, Lodwich finished
second, Cleeworth finished third.
In the finals Lodwich drew the pole
Scholtz was No. 2, Drew No. 8, Ciee
worth withdrew, leaving the 4th lant
vacant, Losch had No. and Cobb,
had the outside track. At the crscl
/ of the gun Drew and Sholtz jumped
into the lead, the latter having a lit
tic the better Of it, and before W.
could think any more about it the,
were within 2 yards Of the tape. Herr
| the unsupported Colby put on won
derful burst of speed and beat Drew
to the tape by less than inches, be
ing about feet behind Sholts WIT
! Won. in ga. Both Colby and. Drew
did fast 10 seconds.
Without the participation of Drew
our race would almost have beer
wholly unrepresented, as there wa
only one other athlete of color com
peting, he being the writer.
Besides competing in the specia
100 yard dash, Drew also ran as An
Choir man on the Drake half mil,
relay team.
| This is the smallest number of Col
ored athletes that have competed il
these relays since 1915.

strictly after enforcement of the

broadsidcs at church elders who WORT
children to death in their factories
and dcacons who make church con
trbutions out. Of excess profits.
Should turn New Leaf.
Gentlemen may cry Peace
Peacc'm the vice president said, ''but
there will be no peace until the
church resumes its functions, re-
news its faith, and proves its faith
by its works.
1T is idle to legislate for purity il

1.-THE church, With compiacent
smile, has turned over !o,.the state
the enforcement of the moral law
and the state has failed, as it always
will, to enforce it, while the man on
the street snccrs at the church.
Consistent Conduct Is Urged.
Awake, o Zion, and if you really
believe in the communion. of the
saints, prove it by consistent conduct.
This is no holier than thou message.

"The man on the street is not tired
of the words of the Nazarene. When
the church taeks back the disciplin-
ing Of the moral and religious life of
its members, WIN it trains up its
children with fixed views, when it
proves its faith in the communion of
the saints by its works, it's courts
will be thronged with worshipers and
there will be no need for patchwork
legislation to reconcile labor and cap
ital, nation and nation.

that they keep open one half day on
