KNOXVILLE COLLEGE

On Saturday, October "A, the fight
ing eleven from Knoxville College at
last swung into action and handed
Roger Williams a singing IS to
defeat Having bowed to Atlanta and
Clark they finally came into their own
and pranced all over the Roger Will
liams line. The first half was a battle
of wits to see who would intercept
the most passes, but from the first
minute of play in the second half when
Knoxville received the kickoff and
went the length Of the field through
guard and tackle there was a different
side to the battle. Fowlkes and Ridg-
way alternately went through the line
at will and never were stopped with
less than four or more yards to their
credit
The field was shiny and end runs
were out Of the question although
Cowan did get loose for a twenty
yard gain in the opening quarter, and
was only stopped because Of slipping
and falling on the wet field. Pegues
caught punt in the last quarter and
ran fifty yards for the first score Of
the game. That was the only long run
of the game. The only three offered
by the Nashville boys was their pass
ing. Thornhill, the quarter, passed
perfectly with surety both on long and
short losses. and the only reason that
they were not very effective was that
his ends and backs could not hold the
wet ball when they did get a chance
to hold il. Their passing machine
would scare any team on a dry field
and they will surely use it to advant-
age in their remaining games.
And now the K. c. boys are getting
.groomed in their offense for the Fisk
Frolic next Saturday. They need an
other Fisk trophy ball and are de-
termined that it will be next Saturday
that they get it, The Fisk boys held
Atlanta well, but they will have to do
more than hold to stop the crew that
they will meet on October 81 in Nash

AFRICA NEEDS HELP OF
NEGRO IN AMERICA
Lim:tless Opportunity Seen for
Trained Leaders Who Wish
to Serve

Atlanta, Ga.-Africa offers illimita-
bic opportunities for influence and use
fitness to well trained American
Negroes, capable of leadership, accord
ing to DR.. D. Westermann, professor
Of African languages in the University
of Berlin, who is now in America
studying the status of the race in this
country. AS missionaries, educators,
and agricultural and industrial lead
ers they could render the greatest
service to the natives, who are still
UNNECESSARILY below the standards
attained by the Co,ored people of
America.
AS an illustration, Dr. Westermann
mentioned the very valuable work
done some years ago in German Togo
land by FIVE graduates Of Tuskegee
Institute who were employed by the
German government to instruct the
natives in the production of cotton.
Partly as a result of their work, At
RIGA is fast becoming one Of the great
cotton-growing countries Of the world,
and the native growers are prohting
accordingly. In the field of religious
effort, the work of Max Yergen, an
American Negro sent out to Africa
some years ago by the Y. M. G. a.,
is exercising very wide Influence and
is favorably known on three CONT
nents. DR.. Westermann, a former
missionary to Africa and in close
touch with conditions, believes that
there are similar opportunities for
great usefulness in many lines and that
we.l-trained American Negroes, de-
sirous of going to Africa in the spirit
of service, would be welcomed both by
the natives and by the colonial gov
ernments.
DR.. Westermann expressed great
qualification at the high degree of edu-
cation, character, and material pros
perity attained by many American
Negroes. He was particularly struck
by the ability manifest in the efficient
management Of Tuskegee Institute
and Of the great Tuskegee hospital,
which he recently visited.
