And didn't the cullud boys step off
with the honors at the N. c. A. A.
track meet in Chicago? RALPH MET
CALFE broke the WORLDS record
for the 22O-yard dash and equaled the
record for the 100-yard dash. JESSE
OWENS, Cleveland high school flash,
set worlds prep record of 9.4 in the
1O0-yard dash, broke the NATIONAL
record in the 220-yard dash and broad
jump, scoring thirty points to lead his
high school to the national prep title.
JOHN BROOKS of University of Chi
cago won the broad jump with a
stretch of "a feet Az inches. JIMMY
JOHNSTON of Illinois State Normal
was third in the 1O0-yard dash, while
WILLIS WARD, the University of
Michigan footballer, tied for third
place in the high jump. Whatta' day
for our boys, and what men!
And as an outcome of the N. C. A.
A. meet Metcalfe and Owens are going
to race each other in Chicago July /,
for the title of the worlds fastest
human" The race will take place at
the National A. A. U. meet at Soldier
field.
What with four or five men who
promise to be football sensations next
fall, it looks as if perhaps colored fell
lows are beginning to put less en-
phasis on being ballroom sheiks and
more on being "he-men". The last two
years have seen an ever increasing
number of our boys stepping ahead in
prep school and collegiate athletics,
and more are entering the field all the
time. When a colored boy becomes a
"big shot" at white university, he is
REALLY a "big shot,, and he is kept
wrapped in camphor balls and cello
phane so that he won't go back on his
dear old alma mater. More than likely
Ralph Metcalfe could have Marquette
University served to him on a silver
platter if the school authorities
thought it would keep him smashing
records and putting the institution in
the limelight. Such is life, such is
life. A shady brother has to work
twice as hard to make the grade, but
when he at last succeeds in making it,
he's the darling of the spectators
or sumthin' like that.
JIMMY SLEMMONS is going to de-
sert the bachelor colony the latter
part of this month, and take to him
self a wife. Jimmy has been one of
our men-about-town for so long, his
getting married resembles the passing
of an old landmark, Ell what?
And what young lady has been go
ing around making cracks about the
love-making technique of a certain
DIPLOMAT? HAW!
Short Story: Minneapolis femme out
with Minneapolis Gable. About 1890,
she pleads a headache and he takes
her home. He drives away. Five min
utes later st. Paul brother drives up.
gives three toots of his horn. Girl
comes out and gets into roadster of
S. P. B. Oh well!
Since MAURICE M. has gone, there
will have to be some one else selected
to take his place in the bathing-suit
ranks. Seems as if most of the femmes
agreed that Mac wore his bathing suit
better than any other boy around here.
and now who will be the -best-in-
a-bathing-suit candidate, Ell?
The tragedy of that U. of M. girl
who took poison for aspirin was ter
rible thing. A graduating senior,
pretty and popular, her life was
snuffed out when she took deadly
cyanide poison instead of aspirin in
an attempt to keep awake while she
studied for finals. The warning which
this brings is warning which has
