PRESIDENT LOCAL BRANCH, N.
A. A. c.: p: PRAISES CITIZENS
OF OMAHA

The president Of the local branch
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, Mr..
K. G. Price, expressed himself as be-
ing well pleased with the reception
given Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkin BY the
citizens of Omaha. Space will not
permit me, he says, "To publish the
names of those who participated, and
went out of their way to make Mrs.
.Lampkin's two days stay in Omaha a
pleasant one" Those of you he says,
that helped in any way in sponsor
ing u program of Sunday March
25th and those Of you, who helped to
make Mrs. Lampkin's stay in Omaha,
a pleasant one, to please accept his
many many thanks"
The future for the Omaha Negro
looks bright, and with such spirit Of
cooperation, on the part of Negroes,
there will surely be a new deal for
the Negroes Of this city; but Mr..
Price says, "That we must bear in
mind, that the day has come, when
the Negro must get together at least
on one thing, fight for it through the
intelligent use Of the ballot, stop
having our political campaign fin
anced by the men we wish elected to
office, and after we shall have cured
the ills Of our worse existing condi-
ton, step on the gas, and hurry to
the bedside Of our next complaint.

Al Smith Pleads Before De
laney For Reduction in
Taxes on Empire State

NEW YORK CITY, March CSC
NS)-Hubert t. Delaney recently
appointed a member Of the board of
taxes and assessments of Greater
New York and assigned to represent
! the borough of Manhattan, the rich
est political division of the great city,
had as his petitioner Alfred E. Smith,
New York City's premier citizen.
Mr.. Smith three times governor OF
| New York State and in 1928 the De
! mocratic candidate for President of
the United States, appeared before
Mr.. Delaney as manager of the En-
pire State Building the imposing
structure at Fifth Avenue and 34th
Street which towers above the build
ings surrounding it to a height OF
more than 1000 feet, appealing for a
reduction in taxes on the gigantic
office building of 100 floors.
The prevailing idea of taxes on
such property has long been based on
cost of construction and value OF
land. Mr.. Smith based his appeal on
a new idea-the present earnings OF
the building. AS many OF the finest
suites in the building are unoccupled
he made a plea to the board Tor a
substantial reduction in the assess
ment valuation of the great struc-
ture.
Reports say he got it. Chester A.
Franklin, the erudite editor OF the
Kansas City Call, was here a short
while ago and now writes a few per-
tinent paragraphs:

day where the Gophers try to grind
down for another foe Saturday.
Fitted with an outlook as different
as day from night from that which
prevailed before the Indiana game,
the Gophers are pulling the big guns
into play to let Chicago have the
works
Coach Bernie Bierman himself, in
an effort to make sure the 0ophers
don't get messed up in q hare and
tortoise race. inspired the new state
Of mind with which Minnesota Is to
fare forth in combat to keep the rec
ord clear.
The Gopher coach, In plain and
frank language, has laid down the
law-that hereafter, beginning with
Chicago and closing with Wisconsin,
the Minnesota eleven Is to bear down
from whistle to gun.
His address to the Gophers, given
after the manner Of father to son,
told them outspokenly, like other re-
marks Of Bierman,s this year, that
Minnesota now will win the Big Ten
title and national honors II the lob Il
handled conscientiously.
Long ago the Gophers. whose date
with Chicago Is one Of their last two
Of the campaign, were treated By
Coach Bierman on the theory they
knew they were good and there was
no use for him to say otherwise.
So they have been told previously
in effect. and this last Bierman lee
ture said It outright with no clubbing
He put the full burden on the team
which was made to understand It haa

Money Players Give Fans More
Spectacular Contests; In.
hampersd by Rules

New York, Nov. 14.-(NEA)-It was
only five or six years ago that pro-
fessional football shrank before q
waggling finger Of scorn pointed by
college coaches, staid old university
professors and organizations function
ing for the uplifting Of mankind. To-
day the pro game IS as much accepted
as legitimate sport as organized
professional baseball.
Remember the hue and cry that
split the heavens when the old CAL
Looping Ghost forsook his diploma at
the University Of Illinois to cast his
lot among the pros7 Gustav, there
was stencil!
Immediately staid old educators
came out Of retirement to denounce
players who commercialized their tai
ent, and congress had to retire for
fear it would be forced to pass bill
prohibiting such terrible action.
But since the entrance Of Grange
into the "long green" game, things
have changed. Today you find pro
football playing game that has be-
come q major attraction, and pulling
between twenty and thirty thousand
fans to the gate regularly.
just what has brought about this
change from the days Of the Nesser
brothers. Jim Thorpe, Canton Bull
dogs, Columbus Panhandles, Massillon
Tigers and the pro game Of yester-
year? There are several causes.
Money Attracts Stars
First, the money game has attracted
practica lily every major star in college
in the last decade. Among those who
are playing the game today are Beat
tie Feathers, All-Amcrica from Ten
l,essee last year: Warren Heller, Pitts
great All-America back Of 1882; Harry
Newman, Michigan's stellar quarter
back; Jack Manders and Borncho Ma
Igurski, former Minnesota line crash
ers: Cliff Montgomery. Of Columbia:
Muggsy skladany. Pitt end, and Bill
Smith, Washington end. who made
All-Ame rica last year: Tex Layen-
decker, who was All-America while
working at tackle for Vanderbilt-and
q host Of others.
There you have the appeal Of the
game-a host Of big names, made ia
nous on college gridirons. and still
carrying their past glory on pro fields
Of battle.
A second reason Is that the pro
game, through the discarding Of q lot
Of silly rules, has become more spec
tacular than the college contest. For
instance, q pass can be thrown any
where behind the line OF scrimmage in
the pro tits, while In the college
games, the passer must be Ut least
five yards behind. This gives the pro
more opportunity to screen his passes,
and results in q stronger offensive
game.
Another difference in the college
and pro games as that money players
