Talk of Football
And optimistic! Say, they
tell me there is talk of getting
up football teams at STANFORD,
u, of C. and some more OF
those universities and colleges
out there this fall. And it
wouldn't be a bad idea. at
that.
This year if they had good
luck and their teams looked
pretty good against the oest
competition that could be mus
tered in that section, we might
give them a peek at undefeated
Princeton. Naturally Columbia
could also go back and do the
same thing over, but the nov
city has worn off that. But
the Princeton boys would enjoy
the trip, and if they can-one
way and another-get together
some pretty good clubs out
there, we might be able to
fix it up.
How would it be to let the
tearing Tigers play U. Of c.
one quarter, Stanford the next,
Santa Clara the third, and
then wind up in the fourth pc
riod with U. c. L. A. That
would be a novelty and might
make a hearty meal for the
tearing Tigres. Think it over,
boys, and let us know if it
shapes up as contest as the
coming gridiron season wears

NEW YORK.-The Harlem Section

leading in the drive, will be awarded
tonight to Section 4 at the New York
Coliseum, by the District Organizer
of the Communist Party, Charles
Krumbein, the main speaker at the
meeting COMMUNICATING the Tenth
Anniversary of the death Of Lenin.
This, however, will not be a def

will have an opportunity to intensity
their activity in recruiting and wn
the banner away from the Harlem

I'm the light of this, the directives

C.W.A. Workers and Convention
The National Committee is en-
deavoring to get a large and repre-
sentative delegation of C.W.A. work
erS to the convention in order that
they may present their demands to
Congress. A number Of C.W.A. unions
have already elected such delegates.
C.WA. unions are circulating petit
tons demanding the continuation
and extension of jobs for every I'M
employed worker without discrimina-
ton, and for unemployment and So
cial insurance. The National Com
mittee advises that such petitions
continue to be circulated until such
time as they can reach Washington
by airmail on Feb. 4. Petitions should
be sent to S. Minken, 1916 Belmont

viii Call on Congressman
Every delegation in washington
will call on the Congressman from
their district to demand that they
support the Workers Unemployment

tional Committee calls upon all uil-
employed councils and C.WA. unions
to write to their Congressman and
Senators informing them that their
delegates will call on them on Feb.
and demanding that they be given
hearing and assurance Of support.
While the delegates are presenting
these demands on Feb. 5, it is
planned to hold mass demonstrations
throughout the country in support
Of these demands.

the National Committee. 1t is impos-
sible to provide food and lodgings In
Washington at the rate Of g. dollar

Abe. Wants Jobs
The A.B.C. demands the majority
Of the posts. The Union Macdonald
ista Is demanding the same. The
widest unfounded runners are aaoat
as TO the composition of the cabinet.
1t is clear, however. that it will be
most reactionary. The new govern
rent plans to consolidate the rule
OF the exploiters' and get the help
of Yankee imperialism in large loans
for the army and navy and higher

There Is real danger of whole

help Of the American workers against
this imperialist -supported react.onary
regime must be aroused.
For General Political Strike
The Communist Party's appeal for
a general political strike was taken
up by the Cuban National Confeder-
alton Of Labor and 1t has decided
to organize for it on the basis of
simplifying the present struggles and
developing the widest economic
struggles.
Antonio Guiterss, Secretary Of War
in the deposed Grau San Martin
regime, is trying to provoke strikes,
sending delegates to the unions.
His supporters among the leader

have decided to call a strike, which
was demanded by the rank and file
months before.
This morning at s am, rs 900 doc
tors and hospital workers struck.
Street car workers are preparing to
strike; the teachers are still on strike.

Down South coIored man may

times they have entirely different
fight clubs for black and white.

them bold-facedly out of it.
IN PHILLY, colored boxers don't
have the ghost of a chance to
make any money. A friend of mine,
Bucky Jones, won fifty straight
fights at one club before they gave
him windup. In all those SO bat
