Detroit tribune. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1933-1933, 1933-12-09

the first half.
1t was Long and Jackson who
were the spearheads in the double
pivot play OF the visitors. But with
Solomon and Williams turning Il
ono of the best games of their
careers. the play did not afford the
visitors OF many chances TO score.
In Harry Russian and Blll Malone
the local club seems to have found
| two forwards who will be able to
locate the hoops for points through
the season. Both players handled
+ themselves well in the game, al
though neither was high point man
, in scoring.
Gus Finney, who with Harry
Russian was a cog in the cham
pionship Paul Quinn College five
last winter. was the spearhead Of
the Central attack. Finney Gagged
! four baskets and three fouls for II
points. Houston Williams, the 9TH
er Detroit guard, accounted for
three baskets and one oul for seven
points.
Tho Globe Trotters have a good
team. Pullins and Easter are two
mighty good ball handlers. SO are
Long and Jackson. Frazier is Just
breaking nto the teom play.
But the blocking of the visiting
team was entirely too crude. More
polish needs TO be put on this de-
partment OF the offense If the team
expects 10 make much progress
against the white teams which they
will meet through the coming
months. No referee I'm the middle
west or far west will permit the
type of blocking the Trotters dis
played here.
The fight game is fast slipping
from tho pedestal 4 once occupied
with lovers or sports. The fighi
game has sunk to a lower level IN
Detroit, perhaps, than in any other
city.
There was a time when a good
card in Detroit would attract a
capacity crowd at any stadium or
boxing arena. Today il is almost
impossible to intice throng of
more than 1000 to see a champion
ship battle.
There are many reasons for this
lack of interest in boxing displayed
by the fans who once clamored for
admission TO boxing bouts. Some
attribute II to the failure to deve-
lop the local talent into box office
attraction.
One of the best prospects to join
tho professional ranks in the past
several years is Thurston McKin-
ney. the yugster who won ono
Golden Glove championship and
was denied the other only through
ranks. And with the proper
handling the youngster will go for
ward and help bring boxing to the
lore front again.
Howard University conquered
the Lincoln Lions in tho Thanks
giving game just as the football
experts had predicted the Bisons
would do. But many were OF the
opinion that Howard would win by
u large score than 1877.
This young woman thinks very

from the letter sent in TO this Of
fee.
Northern High School can boast
OF having one of the best all
round athletes in the city In the
person OF Mr.. James Macintosh.
Macintosh entered Northern in
1881 after making an enviable re-
cord at Sherrord intermediate
School. receiving twelve letters for
various feats. Since then he has
starred in baseball, basketball and
football. On the first team James
was catcher for two yers. He was
captain last year. He played center
and forward on the championship
basketball team in 1882 and was
given honorable mention for brill
liant work on the football team.
This year the aggressive right end
Is considered probably the best
forward pass receiver In the city. F..
J. Powers, who has been his coach
in all sports, says. Macintosh is
an exceptionally good athlete, gets
an injury sustained In semi
final bout.
Mckinney Is the possessr of a
good punch. clever boxing ability,
and aggressiveness that should
carry him far in the pugilistic
along splendidly with his team
mates and has a good chance to be

James is On excellent student
and we'll liked by his intructors
and fellow pupils. He expects 10
attend the University OF Michigan
after leaving Northern. So II looks
like we will soon have another
