AWAIT A M O 5
MCMILLAN
DUAL
OWN. II. Patrick. Jr..)

Prep track followers are looking
forward TO the 22O and 44O yard
duals between Northwestern
Ulysses Amos and Jim Mcmillan
Of Hamtramck on the Central
High track next week at the city
Indor Championships.
Amos, indoor and outdoor half
mile champ last year, has been
shifted to the shorter races by
his coach Sam Bishop, that he
may be able to gather more points
for the Colts. He holds the city
record of 2;01 for the halfmile
outdoors.
Both have neared the record of
the two events in dual meets
throughout the season and il
seems inevitable that the marks
will fall when the two encounter.
Mcmillan, now in his final year,
is one of the gresAast athletes
ever to represent the Cosmos and
will undoubtedly end his high
career "a twelve year man., hav-
ing entered the school in the
ninth grade. He was honorary
captain of the Hamtramck foot
ball team las year, which tied
the Nrthwestern for the city title,
although he was out most of the
season with a shoulder injury.
Amos is the greatest thinclad,
with the exception of Willis Ward,
and has been indicated for the
past two years. He captained the
track team last year.

ceeded. caught him wide open in
the third and dropped him for the
long count.

in tame bout, from Walter Camps.

cabins that migt be lived in and
the bloodhounds are not Great

NC Election Board
Order Gives Ballot
TO COIoFed Voters


Raleigh, N. c., Nov. 49, Upon
orders from L. p. McClendon,
chairman of the state board of
elections, the registrar in North
ampton County, North Carolina
allowed Miss Amanda Peele and
Miss Naomia Person to vote in
the November 3 election. Miss
Peele and others had been denied
the right to register last spring
and again on October "a because
the registrar stated that they did
not satisfy the educational re-
quirments of North Carolina law.
Miss Peele is a college graduate
and ar instructor in Hampton
Institute, Virginia. The action of
Chairman McClendon was taken
upon complaint from North Caro-
lima citizens and upon telegraphic
protest to Attorney General HON.
er S. Cummings by the N. A. A.
G. P. in New York.
North Carolina members of the
N. A. A. C. P. are now attacking
the practice of registrars of requir-
ing colored people to make re-
peated trips to register so as to
discourage them from attempting
to vote. It is the regular habit of
some registrars to tell colored
people to come back next week"
even though the registrars office
at the moment may not be doing
anything.
