PAOLIN0 UzCUDUN
Jack Delaney Might Get Return
Match With Boston Man

New York, Feb. 81 Pl-Prospect
of an indoor match with Jimmy
Maloney, Boston's new edition of
John /. Sullivan, dangled today be-
for the eyes of Pauline Uzcudun,
last of four foreign entrants in Tex
Richards heavyweight elimination
tournament.
The Basque woodchopper, by an
impressive victory over Knute Han
sen, husky Minnesotan, in their 10
round bout at Madison Square Gar
den Friday night, can battle his way
into a match with the conqueror of
Jack Delaney, Richard said today.
A close featureless fight will mean
Hansen from future consideration
in the series to produce Gene Tun-
ney's challenger for the heavyweight
crown, the tall Texan said.
Richard indicated that unless
Pauline forces himself into the spot
light, Maloney will be held in re-
serve for an outdoor battle in May
probably with the winner of the
Jack Sharkey.Mike McTigue struggle
March 8, or the Boston Giant may
tackle Jack Dempsey then or give
Delaney whom he battered to defeat
in ten vicious rounds last Friday
night another chance to prove that
after all a good little man" may
beat "a good big man." Richard
said he wasn't at all sure of his
plans.
He did disclose, however. that
Pete Reilly, manager of the French
Canadian, was closeted with him
yesterday for several hours discuss
ing prospects of a return match.
When Dan Carroll, manager of Ma
loncy, returns to New York this
week, Richard intends to discuss the
same subject with him.
The second 10000 of the $780,
900 forfeit that Richard agreed to de
post on or before May 1 to bind
Gene Tunney to a title match next
September already has been posted
in st. Louis. Richard said. The pro-
moter has until June Is to select
a challenger.
Delaney, meanwhile had an ap-
pointment late today with DR.. Fra
lick, noted bone specialist here, for
an examination of his right arm,
which may disclose an elbow injury
suffered before the Maloney bout

Marian Anderson, Celebrated
SOlOist, Accompanied by
William King.

The Musical of the Twin City
Choral club which presented and as
sisted Miss Marian Anderson as So
loist Friday night, at the First Bap-
tist church Auditorium, Mpls., was
a rare treat. The Choral, composed
of more than sixty we'll trained voices
under the direction of Mr.. John
Hickman, was a credit to the Twin
Cities.
Miss Anderson, possesses rich
contralto voice of great power and
sweetness. We agree with Mr.. F. B.
Perkins of the New York Times,
when he said, Marian Anderson
possesses a voice in a hundred thou
sand" Miss Anderson charmed her
audience with a we'll arranged pro-
gram, and graciously responded to a
of encores. She was assisted
at the piano by William King an &C
companist of remarkable talent.
The choral, an organization affil-
lated with Phyllis Wheatley House,
is a little over year old. This
Choral will close its season with a
reception at Phyllis Wheatley House,

Jim-Crow Banquet Refused.
"In the South the students are
manifesting a growing spirit of free
dom," reports Mr.. Bagnall. "At the
Y. M. C. A. student conference of
North Carolina they tried to serve
Negroes a jim-crow banquet which
they refused, asking either that they
be admitted to the general banquet
or that it be done away with. The
counter-proposal was made that they
come in to hear the speaking after
the whites had eaten. This they re-
fused to do. A Committee was ap-
pointed who intended to table the
matter, but the students next day
after the banquet offered resolu-
tion on the open floor of the conven-
ton deploring the unfortunate and
unchristian practice of the conven-
tion in shutting out its delegates
from the banquet session because of
color or race, and recommending
that hereafter the banquet include
all delegates or be abandoned, and
that Committees with Negro men,
bers should meet at such places as
the Negro members could attend and
not at restaurant luncheons from
which they were excluded.
