GOLDEN BEAR"
SETS new MARK
AT P0UGHKEEPSIE
California Crew Captures
Race Despite Bad Start
and Bad Weather.

POUGHKEEPSIE, y. Y, June 20
The Golden Bear of California to-
day stood guard over the 1923 inter
collegiate rowing championship.
Not in all the 81 years of the in
tcrcolIcgiate regatta has there hccn
as brilliant a triumph on the water
as took place on the storm tossed
Hudson yesterday when California
rowed through scmi-darkness and
driving rain to lift the champion
ship from Columbia and establish
IL new record of Is minutes 80 10
seconds for the four mile race.
It was the first victory ever scor-
ed by California in the intcrcollcgi
ate championship.
Ky Ebright, the slim, smiling
California coach, is the power be
hind the sudden burst of California
strength. California entered the
race second favoritc to Columbia,
but no one expected any such tri-
umph as the brawny wcsterucrs reg
istcred.
Supcrbly trained by Ebright, u
former Washington coXswain, Cali.
fornia rowcd the heart out of Co
lumlia.
After passing the two mile mark,
the race was n dual affair between
California and Columbia. Up until
the two mile post, Cornell squirting
like mad made all the running and
just before reaching the two mile
point held length advantage over
Columbia. orr to miserable start,
California came on fast and at th"
2i2 mile point, was trailing Colum-
hia by AN eighth of boat length.
California took the lead shortly aft
crward and remained in the van uu-
til the finish, except for a brict
span near the towering suspension
bridge, when Columbia held sway.
Washington finished third Cor
nell fourth, Navy fifth, Syracuse
sixth and Pennsylvania seventh.

MICKEY AND ACE
WAIT FOR GONG
IN TITLE FIGHT
BY FRANK GETTY
Omitted Press Sports EDITOR

CHICAGO, June 20.-A tWo-fist
cd, bull dog-iawed Jcrseyman who
wears the middle weight crown, AN /
- flaming haired youth from,
Nebraska, who aims to knock him
out from under it, rested today from
their strenuous training sessions,
while Chicago buZZed with fight
talk unparalleled since the Dempsey
Tunney battle of 1927.
Both Mickey Walker, thc champ
ion. and Acr Hudkins, the ambitious
challenger, are fit and ready for
tomorrow night : 10 round engage
cnt at the big White Sox ball
park. The wise money. however,
rakes tn" title holder favoritc at
odds OF 3 to ).
The identity Of the third man in
the ring tomorrow night remains a
mystery but it is safe to predict
that the Nebrasta Wildcat must
spread Mickey on the canvas and
tack him down if the title is to
change hands.
At that, there is Il fair chance Of
HudkinS doing so for the pace is
hcund to be furious from the first
gong. That Ace will force the fight
ing at the start seems reasonably
certain. Some believe he will tire
Walker out and win going away in
the last five rounds.
The more reasonable assumption,
however. is that Walker will catch
Hudkins Just as Sammy Pakcr did,
hut with punches CARRYING about 20
pounds more weight hehind them.
Tearing in wide open, as Ace does,
is likely to prove fatal to fistic
aspirations when the opponent is
As strong and keen hitter as

Churches in America Answers
Query Covering Negro's
Contribution
CULTURAL GIFTS THE GREATEST
Music, Literature and Art Enriched
by His Contribution as Well as
Industry, Trade and
Commerce

New York, N. Yin the syndicat-
ed columns conducted by the Rev. DIR.
is. Parkes Cadman, president Of the
Federal Council of Churches of Christ
in America, there recently appeared
the following question, what, in
your opinion, are the chief contribu-
tions made by the race to the social
life of this country" DR.. Cadman's
reply, carried in newspapers through
out the nation, was as follows:
"The Negro is remarkably rich in
his emotional nature. His contribu-
tions to music through the Fisk Ju-
bi'ee Singers and similar organiza-
taens, Roland Hayes and other we'll
snown vocalists of his race, and the
haunting Negro melodies and folk
songs which Dvorak used as the basis
Of his new world symphony, have ben
efitted the most neglected art among
the American people.
Nor is the Negro without isolated
painters and poets, actors and writ
ers who show their capacities in fields
which many supposed closed to them.
The ministry of the Negro preacher
to his people deserves emphatic and
honorable mention. Despite tremen-
dous handicaps it has conserved the
spiritual forces which largely account
for their amazing material progress
since the civil war.
Both Races Need Moral Direction
Their physical labors have made
the cotton belt of the south possible
and remunerative. The first 20 years
of the Negroes emancipation increased
his industrial productivity in this one
commodity to financial amount suf-
ficient to purchase his freedom.
Moreover, since 1866 he has acquired
s2,O00,00O,000 worth of personal
property.
"Negro and white folks alike re-
quire moral direction. The race
which began here in bondage has re-
mained incorrigibly religious. It's
members readily respond to good ex-
ample. They maintain their faith in
the God of all life. Surrounding
cynicism and doubt do not daunt their
simple trust in unseen realities. An
unselfish, sympathetic study of their
needs in our social readjustments can
rely upon their support.
Leaders of their own race, rightly
trained and given the opportunity,
can achieve, aided by intelligent white
cooperation, the solution of problems
which so BATTLE us. Loyalty to his
friends is the Negroes characteristic.
Notwithstanding his hard usage by
mistaken or tyrannical individuals, he
has never been a traitor to the flag.
His Americanism is confiding and en-
thusiastic. 1t must be attached to the
best ideals. Men like DIR. Proctor
(Rev. Hugh Henry Proctor of the
Congregational church,, of my own
neighborhood in Brooklyn, are rem
dering yeoman service in this respect,
but they need white assistance, which
should not be too long delayed at
crucial moment"
