The forward pass should be
caught the same as punt is, caught,
whenever possible; that is, by ex-
tending the arms and letting the
hands ease and'guide the ball to the
chest and holding it there with one
hand under it and one above. This
cannot always be done, because the
pass usually has to be taken on the
run with the ball coming from the
side or over the shoulder, and some
times the pass is high and has to
be pulled down like a, basket bali
player catches the ball, without
catching the ball against the body.
At times the bali is SO far out of
reach that jump has to be made
and the ball eased down with one
hand. =

GIVE MAN 2 YEARS ON
CHARGE OF DAUGHTER, II

Forest Garman, "A, was lately
sentenced to seven years in the peni-
Tertiary by Judge KavanaRh on a
serious charge brought by his daugh-
ter. Ella, II, who had been living witt
him at 1872 Honore street. Garman's
wife and nine other children are Iiv-

The color Of persons skin counts
for everything when the person is
charged with committing a most re-
voting crime. If Mr.. Forest Garman
had BY some hook or crook been a
colored man who had been convicted
for committing similar crime upon a
young white girl the daily newspapers
would have double headlined the hor-
rible crime on the front page to beat
the band, and some Of them would
have called on the good white people
to assist to mob and lynch the big
black brute, but Mr.. Garman. being

Not in many years has the political
condition been as bad or as cloudy or
as doubtful among the Republican
politicians as it is at the present time,
for the rank and file of the Grand Old

to be elected mayor Of Chicago at the

The affair has stirred both races in

HIGH STATE OFFICIAL RESIGNS UN-

RALEIGH, N. Cone of the big
gest scandals ever visited upon this
state was released late last Sunday
night when police officers visited the
apartments of Col A. d. Watts, COM
missioner of revenue for the state,
and discovered there a young colored
woman, whom the colonel concealed
under a couch in his rooms when the
officers arrived. The woman in uues-
ton came here from Statesville, Col
Watts home town, and the police
suspected that she and the state Of
ficer were carrying on illicit relations,
clandestinely.
Col. Watts and the young woman
were placed under arrest upon
charges Of immoral conduct preferred
by the police. Immediately after his
arrest the commissioner admitted his
relations with the colored woman and
rendered his resignation to Governor
Morrison. 1t was accepted by the
governor at once.

ported attitude of Harvard University
in refusing to house Negro students in
the freshman dormitories. These dor
mitories were, as I remember, built
for the very purpose of breaking down
the distinction of class and kind
and for the democratizing Of the stu
dent body. The effect of your report
ed action is the very opposite. 1t is
simply teaching prejudice. 1t is teach
ing prejudice where it does not nor
mally exist. For youth is generous.
Youth is democratic. Youth knows
no distinctions Of race or kind until
they are taught them.
Il hope the report Of your action
is untrue-but If 1t is true, then hope

should set that the present course be
reconsidered."

Two years ago when the Hyde
Park bombers were spreading terror
among intelligent Negro citizens who
sought decent homes to live in, Nor
ton D. Hull, then a member of the
Constitutional convention, rose up
among his neighbors and condemned
them for aiding or countenaneing
sueh nefarious activities.
MIR. Hull is now seeking the sup

zens whose interests he at that time
defended.
After fourteen brilliant years in the
state legislature, commended on all
sides, he now seeks to represent the
Second congressional district at
Washington, succeeding the late Rep
resentatiye James r. Mann.
In his own words, he wishes to rep
resent the district that begins at 43d
street. He has been a friend to
Negroes on many occasions, but he
refuses to accept the responsibility
Of going to Washington to represent
them specially, or any other group.
He is going there to Be fair, square.
