A BIG NATIONAL SOLO
CONTEST PLANNED
YOUTH MOVEMENT TO STAGE
NOVEL PLAN TO RAISE S15O,OOO
FOR BUSINESS SCHOLARSHIP

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25.-(P. N.
source comes that the aggressive and
resourceful American Federation Of
Negro Students has resolved to con-
duct nationwide solo contest in
the principal towns and cities of the
country This interesting and fas-
cinating scheme is being developed
by the youth movement in order to
hep raise one thousand economic
scholarships for the youth Of the race
in 1924 and 1925.
AS outlined to the Preston News
Service the Contests will be conduct
ed upon an elimination basis, pro
crossing from city to state, from
state to district and from district to
the final contest which will end a
National Musical Carnival, the first of
it's kind ever held It has been
decided that prizes will be strung all
along the way, advancing in import
ance as the difficulty of the musical
combat increases. There will be city
prizes, state prizes, district prizes,
and a National Grand Award will be
the capstone of the contest. Among
other things the national prize will
include at least year abroad under
the masters of the Old World and
semicircular tour Of the world.
Both male and female contests
will be held so that not only our
prima donna will have a chance but
also the basso profundo and the ten
ors will have a lifetime opportunity
to engage in vocal combat with the
harmonies of a half thousand cities.
Professional singers will not be per-
mitted to participate in the contest.
The A. F. of N. S. has sent ques-
tionaires to some leading singers,
Conservatives, and musical critics so
as to determine rules and conditions
under which the contest will be held.
The head of the movement, I ]. K.
Well, expressed the opinion that
each contestant, especially in the
district and in the National Finals
will sing one selection chosen by the
A. F. of N. S. committee and one
selection of the choice of the singer.
The time and place Of the dis
srict contests as we'll as that of the
Grand Musical Festival have not been
decided upon: The Smoky City"
of steel and iron, Pittsburgh, will be
the first city where the contest will
be launched. The churches, the
fraternities, the sororities, clubs and
newspapers of Pittsburgh, many Of
which have already promised aid to
the project, will be a unit in giving
the Scholarship undertaking of the
Negro Youth Movement strong for
ward boost through it's National
Solo Contest.
Each Of the units of the movement
located in and near the principal
cities in some of the leading colleges
of the country will have general
supervision in aiding in the most far
reaching and constructive attempt

Jack Dempsey May
Dodge Harry Wills
Bout by Retiring.
Rum0red Among Fight Fans That the
champion Will Remain i'm Movies.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25-(P. N. s.
Now that Harry Wills has eliminated
every possible barrier between him
self and Jack Dempsey, the Manassas
Mauler, who bears on his beetled
brow the crown of heavyweight au-
thori1y, there comes rumor that
the meal-ticket of Jack Kearns may
elude a bout with the Brown Pan
Their by retiring from the ring in
favor of the screen.
Lounging around in Hollywood and
the idol of gaping crowds of screen
idols who break inso print every now
and then with a scandal story OF
sensational form, the man who has
made a fortune by meeting near
greaas and "builtup" fighters, is
ready to dodge the first real oppon
ent he has ever been called upon to
meet.
According to fight scribes, it may
be exceedingly difficult to get Wills
and Dempsey together, but as they
say, no one should overlook the fact
that the Brown Panther has fought
his way to a position where he must
get some recognition from The champ
ior.
There may be arguments advanced
against his claims for a chance at
Dempsey, but who else is there for
Dempsey to mingle with unless it is
lhe powerful fighter who so decisive
ly defeated Firpo. The case has been
on the calendar for many years, and
must be disposed of before the box
ing fans will be satisfied that Demp
sey is fully entitled to reign over
the heavyweight class.
However, Dempsey may never
fight again. 1t is said by close
friends of his that they think the
champion would be Just as we'll
pleased to toss away his boxing
gloves for all time. The big fellow
has plenty, and as big attraction
in the movie game so long as he
holds the title.
Dempsey is said to have intimated
to close friends thai he has earned a
rest from the game in which he won
fame and fortune. Tommyrot! Is
it :lhe custom of a real champion to
dodge the first reais issue which con
fronts him. The time for a man to
retire. is when Father Time takes
its toll or when the horizon is clear
of logical opponent. And the man
who contemplates retiring is in the
prime of his life. Still under thirty,
he has yet 10 meet man who can
be really considered among the top
notchers in the game. And then,
when a real opportunity presents it.
self, is it the custom for champion
to speak of "retiring?" You can call
it Retiring, if you want to, but from
this side it has rather unsanitary
atmosphere and is called by a name
not quite So genteel from the neck
of the woods where we come from.
Dempsey may retire alright. But
if he does, there. will be stigma
behind his name and the sport which
he is supposed to represent far worse
than the episode concerning Jack
Johnson.

thai several years ago he challenged
Jack Johnson, and lied about his age

years he has not yet drawn.
Harry Wills is a likab,e kind of

he uses DO advantage. He shows
evidence of having done a good deal
of hard work in his lifetime, but his

SPEECHES PLEASING.

His speeches are pleasing enough
to our political taste, so was that of
Mr. Wilson when he was a candidate.
So pleasing that Bishop Waters who
was dissatisfied with the treatment
of the Negro by the Republican
Party, sent letter to that distin
guished leader Of the Democratic
Party seeking to know his opinion
and his principles on the Negro ques-
tion. Among the things said by Mr..
Wilson in his reply to Mr.. Walters,
was that he favored "all men up and
coming and none down +" Much more
was in the letter but not now clear
to the writer's memory.
But the letter referred to, gave
Mr.. Walters much encouragement
and the newspaper and the political
world know too well of the Bishops
advice to the colored people regard
ing their vote which he wished them
to give to Mr.. Wilson and the Dem
ocratic Party. But when that gen.
tleman was elected and seated in the
White House, we all know too we'll
the action Of Mr.. Wilson as President
of the United States.
GR1EvOUs DISCRIMINATION.
We know of the Jim Crow screens
of the segregation and Of the humil
iation served to the colored clerks
at the National Capital by the gen.
t;eman who said to Mr.. Walters he
favored "all men up and none down"
This policy of Mr.. Wilson was much
deceiving to Mr.. Walters, who in a
short time died Of a broken heart.
Whether this would be the policy of
the learned gentleman from West
Virginia, this writer is unable to say,
but think it far better to "bear the
ills we have than to fly to others
we know not of.
My vote win be cast in the coming
November for the statesman from
Massachusetts and the gentleman
from Illinois.

WILL GO TO FARM.

Wills stated that he had been in
more than 400 ring battles and that
he yet had to have his first headache.
He attributes this condition to his
physical culture. 1t is said he
bought his farm in Dinwiddie so he
might be able to get away from 'ev
erything' and fast couple of times
each year at this place.
He remained in the city until yes
terday, visiting relatives, after which
he left for his farm at Dewitt, a
short distance from Petersburg,
where he expects to spend three or
four weeks. after which he will head
North in search for more ring bat
ties, he says.
The Brown Panther" attributes
most of his success to his wife, who
accompanies him constantly. During
his training campaigns she is his first
assistant, he says. She attends all
his ring battles. In travelling over
the country their only companion is
pet bulldog. The two Wills take
turns in driving the large car. No
chauffeur is employed.
Wills is MOI youngster and when
asked about this fact he resented the
