M'GEE IS IDOL
Of ST. ALBAN' s
ELEVEN
By GARRETT WATERS


! There's always some guy around
an athletic team who furnishes
inspiration Of the first order to
his teammates, his coach and
the student body of his school,
in quite a Frank Merriwell
manner.
Such a guy is around the St.
Adams football camp this year.
His name is Johnny McGee-a
tall, rangy youngster who can
play the grid game, if ever a
youngster could.
MCGEE Is another one Of those
persons you've read about in

ing his utmost towards winning
for his school.
MCGEE q Punter
The best part of it is the fact
that Johnny has been "Merri-
yelling" for st. Adams during
the past two years, not only in
football but other sports. And
st. Alban supporters are dread
ing the days when graduation
time comes for MCGEE and he
will be their star of stars no
more.
In football, McGee's greatest
asset is his foot which he uses
to advantage in every game his
team plays. Against Western
last week, for an example, it
was his punting which kept st.
Adams in the game throughout
and made possible the close
score which resulted.
Western won the game, IA to 6,
but was kept from piling up q
much larger margin because Nc.
Gees punting was so excellent.
Outside of MCGEE, the st. All.
bans eleven is "just fair" this
year. The team, coached by Rob
ertSon Middleton, is unusually
light and for the most part mex
perienced.
Team Is Green

tion of MCGEE and Bob Lorton.

MOrtOnF rs
Republicans
We'll All Be Democrats After Hoover
Saws N. Y. Civil Service Commissioner

ST. LOUIS, Mo. = Democracy
opened its offensive here Friday IN
its battle for the colored vote IN
the crucial city of st. Louis.
A crowd of more than one thou
sand filled Hibernian Hall to pay
tribute to Joseph L. McLemore, Ne
gro Democrat, candidate for Con-
gress, opposing L. C. Dyer, white
Republican, and Ferdinand q. Nor
ton, Negro civil service commission
er of Americas greatest city.
Mr.. Morton, talking from a pre-
pared manuscript, said he never
sought leadership, that we are suf-
fering from too much leadership
and that deeds rather than words
determine the real leader. Hoover
is no Lincoln, he declared. Hoover
has a Southern Democrats head but
not his heart. "a. II. tAfter Hoo
yer)". he added, "we'll all be Dem
ocrats." He urged the election OF
McLemore.
Turning to his manuscript, he
characterized as Indecent and dis
honorable" the present legislative
investigation Of the New York city
government and charged that this
INQUIRY was inspired by the Repub-
lican National Committee. New
York City, he said, was no more
wicked than the rest of the world,
and that bv far the greater number
of its inhabitants were just "pialh,
home-loving people"
Lincoln, he said. although spir-
itual giant, was willing to perpetuate
slavery to save the union. He urged
America to solve its own destiny
staying free of world pacts, leagues
and courts.
In his brief criticism of the pres
ent day Republican party, Mr.. Nor
ton caustically remarked that the
Republican party of Herbert Hoo
Yer is not comparable to the Repub
lican party of Abraham Lincoln
sLincoln," he said, "would have IN
sisted that Negroes enjoy all rights
He pleaded for an intelligent anf
courageous use of the ballot by Ne
proes, claiming that 100000 Ne

rights. Mr.. Morton pledged his sup
mort to any Democratic nominee If

MADISON, Wis.-The fight which
started at the University of Wiseon-

of G. James Fleming, eolored stu

airy speech fraternity, took another
turn last Monday when it was an
nounced by Prof. Henry L. Ewbank,
national president of the fraternity,
that the So chapters had voted to
continue barring persons of African
descent.
Last June an amendment was in
troduced at the convention by the
Yale chapter which would have lift
ed the color bar, but the constitu-
ton specifies that thirteen or more
negative VOTES defeat an amend
ment, and exactly thirteen voted
against the amendment. Only about
half of these were from Southern
chapters.
During his three years at the uni
versity, Fleming had won the Frank
| enburger oratorical contest, repre-
scented the university at the inter
collegiate contest, and debated on
the varsity squad; and for these ac-
tivities the local chapter sought to
elect him, only to find that then
hands were tied by the national con
stitution.

Have Negro Majority

WASHINGTON - In figures re-
leased recently by the Bureau of
Census here, it was shown that there
are 1870 counties in the twelve South
ern States, where the Negro popula-
ton exceeds that of whites. In these
counties the Negro population is 90
per cent or more. These figures in
dictate a decrease over the CORE
spending figures for the two pre-
vious decades. In 1910 there were
264 of such counties and in 1920,
220.
Georgia leads the list of Southern
states in the number of such coun-
ties with a total of as. Mississippi
comes next with IS. South Carolina
is third with 25 counties, and Vir-
ginia fourth, with 20.
