1.-THE Negro is built for it." Lam
don declares, land as soon as he
appreciates his latent possibilities
and combines with modern high
jump form that competitive spark
which was found in Cans, Dixon,
Langford and Johnson, the sky, or
Whereabouts, will be the only limit
to his achievements.
THE Negroes long, lifting leg
muscles should prove a tremendous
advantage. Under the right condi-
lions the best of the race should be
capable and raising the high jump
mark inches beyond the range of
the whites A mark of seven feet
OF better would not surprise me and
l am convinced that it will come
sooner or later.
1.-THE black race, under present
conditions, works under handi-
cap. In our track meets they are
far outnumbered by white rivals in
the competition and they no doubt
sense an interracial hostility in ev-
cry gallery. And you can't be both
cred by such items If you are to de-
liver your best efforts in an event
like the high jump. Perhaps if the
Olympic games were set down in the
heart of Africa, seven-foot record
would come Immediately. 1t is sure
to come when the right man, equip
ped with the right form and with
the competitive fortitude of the
great Negro fighters, has fair shot
at it,"

Harlem Families

of two-foot length of one-inch pipe
filled with gunpowder was set off
about 2 O'Clock Saturday morning
on the second floor of a five-story
brick tenement at 227 West 148th

Best Jumper Of Future to be Negro

Richmond Landon, former Olymp-
feet as the future high-jump record
and predicts that it will be attained
by a Negro athlete.
DR.. E. Albert Kinley, former Tufts
College Splinter, and now an X-ray
specialist in Boston, agrees with the
old Olympic ace, albeit the doctors
opinion is arrived at through a more
technical approach.
ssLandon, since his Olympic con-
quest at Antwerp in 1920, has kept
in close touch with HIS pet event.
He has done no competitive work
for several years, 1t is true, but
you always will find him, with a
badge on his manly chest, serving
as inspector or judge at track
meets.
So astute a student of form and
ability is he that Immediately after
watching George Spitz in few pre-
liminary hops at the Millrose games,
he offered to 1 that the N. Y. u.
freshman would shatter the world
indoor record. But Landon does
not pretend to be an expert anato-
mist.
But he has kept his good eye in
action when Charley Major, Negro
high jump champion of two or three
years ago, and other dusky-hued
aces have been performing and he
followed with particular interest the
work of Howard Spencer, the Gene
va College Negro. who, with a leap
of 6 feet 5 inches, landed second
place in the recent national indoor
championships. From such observa-
ton and study he is convinced that
the Negro will be the dominant fig
ure in the high leaping of the fut-
ure W 3
