man to fill the Brown cleated shoes

Who IS WHO; MONARCHS OR GIANTS?

Here will be found the results OF the
nine games that have been played by
the Kansas City Monarchs and the

All the games have been played at
Chicago, and the figures here shown
have the two leaders of the Negro Ma
tional league very evenly matched

tested between the two teams and the
result will have an important bearing
upon the probable outcome of the

With so many inquiries regarding
the colorcd boys in eastern intcrcol-
legiate football circles this fall. the
writer is only too glad to give to the
public some hope for an cnthuSia tic
anticipation Tor the coming season. Al
most daily some big eastern school
publishes its schedule for its first call
for candidates; and lovers of the sport
wonder if we will be represented in the
big games where hundreds OF thou
sands of spectators gather each Satur-
day to witness the greatest of all out
door sports. football. However, be-
fore going into detail it is altogether
proper that tribute OF praise be given
to Pollard. OF Brown, Lewis of Har-
ward. Robson OF Rutgers, Bullock OF
Dartmouth. Shclbourne OF Dartmouth.
Courtney of Maine, Eller OF Brown and
Trigg of Syracuse for breaking down
the bars OF prejudice in their respective
schools, not only by exccllng in foot
ball. but also by gentlemanly conduct
and craftsmanship, and paving the way
for any who are capable of represent
ing the big eastern schools. One OF
the questions that the colored public
asks the most is this: well, how do
they treat you" In answer. | might
say. different athletes. meet with diff
ferent situations, and only the indi-
yidua athletes can answer.
However. every colored athlete in
white schools meets with barriers
which are common to all. The col
ored athlete must not only stand head
and shoulders above every man who
tries for the position which he is, after.
but he must also satisfy the critical
eye of the coaches the vascilating dis
position OF the various alumni associa-
tons, which in reality are the schools,
the various players with whom he must
fight with and against and the student
body from which lifelong friends from
all over the world are either lost or
made. the fraternties, and lastly the
press which controls the sentiment of
all other obstacles.
Thus it is obvious that the colored
athlete in big intercollegiate circles
must not only possess super-athletic
ability but a thorough understanding
OF human nature, the most complex
and tickle of all mechanisms.

be found one or more men who might
make the varsity OF any team in the
country. But the teams as a whole,

not due to the coaches or individual
