States Rights and LETS"
Selling in an iron grip the time
worn principles Of states rights, elo-
quent statesmen and jealous legis-
lators, who persist in advocating the
states rights doctrines as a smoke
screen barrier to the hopes Of twelve
million American Negroes, are work
ing overtime to invoke this last eff.
ficacious remedy to abort the inten-
tons of the Federal Constitution that
all American men and women oil
every hue should indeed be free. Gov
ernors, such as Richie Of Maryland
and senator's, such as Blease of South
Carolina, are tireless in their efforts to
prove that the Federal Constitution
has usurped many Of the rights OF
states, and that there must be an alb
solute return to local rule, such as was
the motivating power of secession dur
ing the days Of the Civil War.
The Negroes Of America have ever
known what absolute state sovereignty
with complete disregard for the Con-
stitutional amendments, has meant to
them. 1t has meant a half-baked cit
izenship, with nultiform instrument
talities Of evasion so far as the full
enjoyment Of the rights and privileges
of citizenship were concerned. It has
meant Acknowledgement, poor schools,
jirn-crow cars, and rampant segrega-
ton. The RIGHTEOUSNESS Of too much
local rule, in disregard to Federal in
tentions, is growing more and more
marked. The indianapolis segregation
ordinance and the countless other
means to keep the Negro in his
place" speak eloquently and persua-
sively in behalf of the states rights
doctrine. Like a serpent, the techni-
calities of laws condoning the right OF
the state to take precedent over the
Federal citizenship, are establishing a
false citizenship here and there, and a
few thoughtless Negroes are condon-
ing the trend to make ~leftovers" OF
their racial content The Mayor OF
Indianapolis is quoted as saying that
many "Hoosier" Negroes favor the
Segregation ordinance, and not infre-
quently do local groups, in their zeal
to secure representation, give comfort
to the ceaseless onward march OF
states rights.
States rights are all right, if prop
erly interpreted. The Constitution has
clearly defined their scope and pur-
pose; but nowhere has that historic
document said that its background oil
absolute freedom and full citizenship
should be wiped out. Negroes must
return to the Constitution, and, in re-
turning, they must bring back with
them the statesmen and officials Of the
states rights group who have become
departees from the mandate of the
Constitution. The days Of Patrick
Henry, who preferred death to a
deprivation of liberty, must be recalled.
States rights must be made to conform
to the precepts of their parent-the
Federal Government and the COnsti-
tution-else we are lost.

Forthwith, the khan unloosed its purse

rs the greatest player l have coached
at Princeton.
For the past three years Slagle has
given some remarkable performances,
but l think his play against Harvard
was the most wonderful | ever have
seen, in view of his physical condi-
tiOn and his lack of practice.
Slagle PLAYED exactly 40 minutes be-
fore the Harvard Princeton game. He
went into the Amherst game on Oc-
tober 2 and played one half. The fol-
lowing week he went away on a trip
20 the Delaware Water Gap with the
senior class in geology. He returned
10 Princeton from this trip Friday be-
fore the game against Washington
end Lee. He played about 10 minutes
in this game and the next morning he
limped into the training quarters
hardly able to walk.
AS soon as keene Fitzpatrick saw
Slagle's condition he sent him 10 Balu-
tnore TO consult a specialist. He
stayed at Johns Hopkins Hospital for
about 10 days, and when he returned
10 Princeton his leg was far from
well. He didn't get into a foot ball
suit until Wednesday before the Har'
kard game and Thursday afternoon
he ran through signals for the first
time in several weeks. He had a very
percsptible limp, and when we left for

BY WILLIAM A. ROPER,
HEAD COACH PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
XIII-The Greatest Player Ever Coached.

his injury, really was remarkable.
He played the entire first half and all
but five minutes of the second. He
punted beautifully though he had not
kicked behind the line for five weeks.
He completed a majority of his passes
and he gained more ground than any
other Princeton man in the backfeld.
His defensive work was on a par with
his offensive play.
AS I watched him on the field I
marveled at his grit and endurance.
1t is q mystery to me how he ever
lasted through the game as he did.
He kicked goal from the field from
the 30-yard line and made possible
Dan Caulkins' touchdown from a
triple pass by a remarkable bit Of IN
reference. The entire Harvard team
realized Slagle's ability and watched
him as they watched no one else on
the field all afternoon. yet seldom, II
ever, when he was given the ball did
he fail to gain. In spite of his physi-
cal condition, he was easily the star of
the day. His play didn't suffer in
comparison with his remarkable per-
fornance at New Haven the year be-
fore, when he gained 1885 yards from
scrimmage by his individual efforts
with the ball.
Overcame Big Obstacles.
1t is q rare player, particularly a
running back, who can overcome the
obstacles Slagle did in this game. He
was utterly exhausted between the
halves. yet came out on the field in
the second half and gave his best ex-
hibition Of open.field running.
One of the first things he said to
me after the game was that he hoped
he would be ready for the Yale game
the following Saturday. This was
too much to expect, however. One of
the greatest regrets in my coaching
career was to have to regretfully ad-
nit that his leg was in such shape
that it would be a stark impossibility
for him to play in the Yale game.

titled that he paid the money in good

was obtained through threats of
criminal prosecution. 5Schlensker
testified he was refused statement
showing how the money was used.
