Black Nanny OF.
Colonel. Bingham
A Typical Nurse
BY MAUDE WADDELL

This true story concerns the
late Col. Robert Bingham. head Of
the Bingham Military School Of
Asheville, and father of Ambassa-
dor Robt. Bingham, United States
representative at the Corut of st.
James.
The negro race, with all of its
pathetic history, has given to the
world two THINGS: faith and music.
It's faith is child-like. This story
is of a southern gentleman, Col.
Bingham, who was nursed by
typical southern ''black nanny"
who loved him with a sacrificial
devotion. My impression is that
Col. Bingham's mother died early
and that his colorcd nurse had had
a great deal of the personal care
of him. He was a young man, a
very beautiful young man, at the
time the Civil war began, and he
went to service with the North
Carolina troops. When word came
his colored nanny apparently
nearly died of grief. She was
deeply religious negro. When she
heard that her "chile" was to go
to war she disappeared for three
days,-went out into the woods
and prayed increasingly for this
time. Then she returned to the
family and said that she was sat
isfied; that she knew that her chile
would not be hurt, that the bullet
had never been moulded that
would hurt him; and that she had
prayed and had the knowledge
that he would be safe. Her mind
was completely at ease. Colonel
Bingham went to war, fought four
years; experienced every vicissi-
tudG that war could hold, even to
Imprisonment, and to the unusual
experience of hearing a scaffOld
built upon which he was to have
been hanged and was not, and
came out of the conflict, from the
midst of the thickest fighting I'M
scathed by any bullet. Col. Bing-
ham has said to me many times
that unquestionably his dear nurse
had some type of vision and in her
love for him had come in COM
munion with the divine protect
ing source.

The fall air was filled with
su'then accents last Saturday
afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
Those Tulane boys had drawls so
thick you could cut 'em with a
knife.
Before a play was called the
drawls were especially thick be-
cause the warriors of the Green
Wave just had to shout encourage
ment at each other. "C'mon!
Les get in theah and hold 'em on
this play!" 1.-TWO noah downs,
boys!" "C'mon you all! Les
play some football heah" And
Pm not exaggerating about the
drawls, either.
Sheldon Beise, the Minnesota
fullback, had trouble with his head
gear. In the past two games he
had been wearing mask to pro-
tect his broken nose, but in the
Tulane game he wore only the reg
ulation helmet. The going must
have been pretty rough, for Shell
had to have his masked helmet sent
in to him. Before he could get it
on, play was called and he had to
toss it to one side and go into the
fracas without any headgear at all.
After the play, Minnesota had to
take time out while Seidel helped
Sheldon adjust the mask, but five
minutes later Shell had exchanged
the mask for his regular helmet.
81 just couldn't see with the thing
on" was the explanation he gave
of all the changing back and forth.
Il
Tidbits: Coach Ted Cox of Tu-
lane must have smoked five or SIX
big black cigars during the game.
Julie Alfonso, the f1ashy
Gopher back who f1unked make
up exam and thereby got himself
ineligible, was sitting on the Min
nesota benches all dressed up in a
natty grey top-coat. :. Those silk
britches the Tulane boys wore
caused some delay soon after the
game started. One of the lads
found he had a rip in his, and the
rest of the team had to gather
around him while repairs were
being made. a.. . Minnesota's speedy
little Bill Matheny was tackled so
hard once that the impact sounded
throughout the stadium, but Bill
got up laughing just to show that
he has a sense of humor. 1t
may be that I've never noticed it
before, but Seidels signal calling
seemed to be awfully involved last
Saturday afternoon. He would call
out: zone! Two! Three! Signals!
%! AZ! 81! All right! One twooo!
One twooo! Hike!" Seems to me
like that's a right smart bit of
wordage to use all in one breath.
Dwight Reed was up in the
radio booth supplying the an
nouncers with information about
the team, etc. That was probably
more fun than wading through all
of those accents, anyhow.
In spite of the strict University
ban on drinking and DRINKS, one
very plastered gent managed to
squeeze past the stadium gates
Saturday. All through the first
half he kept roaring: "C'mon Chi
cago! C'mon Chicago!" Finally
someone turned around and yellow
at him: "Hey, you! Chicago's not
playing in this camel" The spliffed
one retorted: "Thas' all right!
Chishcago's playin' SOMEPLACE!
C'mon Chicago!"
Those Tulane backs, once they
got loose, were about the most elu-
c;x,o lode eve1. tn whiSk across the
Northrop turf. And it would take
two or three Minnesota tacklers
to bring them to earth, too. I
don't see how any Big Ten team
could have a faster backfield than

On the campus the gloom over
Seidel's injury isn't the gloom
brought on only by the loss of
fine player; it is the regret for the
personal disappointment of Seidel
