OF track coach with his ex-rivals
salary.
The trouble with Negro football,
despite the money spent upon it
and the prominence given it, is in
its lack Of polish and general
crudeness. Most of the prospects
when they get to college hardly
know how to spell football because
for the most part they are from
Dixie high schools having made
quate facilities and have been
coached-if at abby a graduate
from some colored college who him
self doesn't know what it's all
about.
BY the time the college coach has
drilled into his charges enough
fundamentals to make them equal
to the average white high school
player, they have graduated.
or course there are exceptions
to this rule. But you seldom see
Ben Stevenson Of Tuskegee, or
Cogar of Alabama State, or
Broadriver Dawllins of South Caro-
lima State. And the average an
nual All-American teams from the
races colleges would be showed
under by an II from any second
rate white university That is why,
as far as real football is concerned,
the annual classics" of Tuskegee
VS.. Wilberforce or Howard VS.. Lin
coin are jokes TO any unprejudiced
student of the game. One attends
purely for the social value or to
bolster up race pride.
Returning to track, look at the
records for winners in the Negro
meets or even in the Tuskegee and
Howard relays. Now constrast them
with what is done at white meets.
Then, for still third comparison,
see from what schools-black or
white-come those Negroes who
either hold oh pion9biHt -Ty5o
have madyfre Best marks recorded
by colored athletes in any event.
After George Williams, the Hamp-
ton javelin thrOwer, who have you
got?
1t is enough to say that if Howard
Jones ever fu!filIs his potentiali-
ties, it will be in spite of the OBJ
vious handicap of attending Ne
gro college where he cannot get
the proper training.

SPOR 7 S
(By Calvin Sports Editor
JACK JOHNSON CRITICIZES


John Arthur Johnson, former
world heavyweight champion and
always a publicity seeker, has been
keeping in the limelight recently
by criticizing Joe Louis ability as
a boxer. Jack wants to know where
Joe got his fighting stance.
His feet are always pointed
away from the line of fire. The
fighter who keeps walking to Joes
left will always beat him. Another
thing, how does anyone know Joe
Louis can take it? He has never
been hit hard. Then too, suppose
he meets a man like Braddock who
isn't afraid of him and stands and
exchanges punches. Do any of us
know if Joe would be on his feet
at the end? You know / often wor-
ry about the future of boxing.
Technique has been forgotten. Joe
Louis doesn't have it, and he is the
best Of the youngsters. Even Cham
pion Jim Braddock/ doesn't have
much of what it takes to exhibit
class"
1t seems TO us that the former
champion overlooks one important
fact when he discusses Louis-that
Joe is the hardest hitter ever
known in the history of boxitg,
and If Braddock or any other heavy
weight is hit by Joe, as in the
case of Paulino, it will not be
question Of which way Joe's feet
will be pointing but of his oppon-
ent's ability to take it.
In the opinion of Harry Wills,
another great Negro boxer, Louis
has at least 10 or IL years before
him as the premier fighter Of his
weight. And when Joe is defeated,
The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1936-05-16

il will more than likely be by an
other Negro.
Incidently, in an interview with
Lewis r. Dial Of New York, wills
declared that he had been mis-
quoted by the sports editor OF a
Memphis daily who charged that
Wills had also sought to belittle
Louis.
THE GARDEN SEARCHES
The Madison Square Garden
Corporation has for some time
sought to find a Negro heavyweight
to offset the drawing power OF
Louis. Recently they signed
young fellow named Jack Tram
NELL Of Youngstown, o., to fight
only under their auspices when in
New York-Louis has an agree
ment to fight only for Mike Jacobs
but the New York State Athletic
Commission has spoiled the Gar
denis plans by suspending both
Trammell and his manager. James
j. tombstone, matchmaker at the
garden, charges that the action OF
the Commission Disseminated a
gainst Trammell in this matter.
Trammell, says the Commission,
signed an agreement with two sets
of managers, and the action was
taken after the compliant of one OF
the managerial group.
"NEGRO BABE RUTH"
"a Negro Babe Ruth" someone
with enough color to bring out
fans in such large numbers as to
put Negro baseball on a paying
basis, is being sought by the vari-
Gus teams in the Negro National
League. The Pittsburgh Crawfords
claim to have him in the person OF
Leroy "Satchel' Paige, a pitcher
who halls from Alabama, but who
has won widespread acclaim in the
Middlewest and on the Pacific
Coast. Paige has shown such re-
markable skill as a pitcher that
several white teams have bid for,
and at times, used his services.
Last season he pitched exclusively
for white clubs and with much sue
cess. But this season, Gus Green
lee, former president of the Lea
que, persuaded him to return to
Negro baseball and he is again
pitching for the Pittsburgh Craw-
fords.
The New York Cubans have an
other pitcher, said to be just as
good as Paige, in the person Of
Chef Brewer. With Brewer in New
York and Paige in Pittsburgh,
prospects for a successful season
in Negro baseball seem unusually
bright for at least two clubs.
And we predict that when or
ganized Negro baseball becomes
successful from a financial stand
point, the big league magnates will
discover that it is time for them to
get some of the colorful Negro
stars in order to lessen the compe-
tition and to bolster up their own
waning attendance records.
HARLEM TRACK MEET
For the first time in history, all
the athletic organizations Of Har-
lem are getting together under the
auspices of the Col. Charles Young
Memorial Association for track
meet and field day to be staged at
the College Of the City of New
York's huge Lewisohn Stadium.
While the affair is being sponsor
ed by Negroes, 1t has the sanction
of the Amateur Athletic Union and
is expected to attract the cream of
the track stars of the East, regard
less of race. Jesse Owens, Metcalfe,
Ed Siegel, Sam Monica, Art John
son Eulace Peacock and Ben John
son are expected to measure
strides in a special 100-yard dash.
There will be a closed 800-meter
relay race to members Of the 369th
Infantry, of which Captain r. A.
Atkins is athletic director.

Use of Service
Plates in
Home
ByMRs. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

ByMRs. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"May service plates be used on
the infOrI1aI dinner tables? If
so, do they remain in place until
the salad is served?
"May the very small individual
salt and peppeT shakers be used
on the informal dinner table?
would two Of those little china
figures or statues be all right to
use on the informal dinner table
instead Of the usual centerpiece
filled with fruit or flowers?
"M"
Service plates are usually not
used on an informal table unless
there is service In the household.
This is sensible, since the remov-
ing Of the service plates means
another service gesture. and
usually the hostess without Serv-
ice tries to limit the motions of
her service. And if service plates
are used on an informal table,
they must not be very elaborate
ones, since this. obviously, would
not be appropriate. If you do
use service plates, they are ex-
changed for the heated dinner
plates that .-e placed for the
main course.
Yes.
Yes. Figures often are charm
ingly effective and artistic placed
as decorative details on either a
formal or an informal dinner
table. They must be used alone,
or with the centerpiece, instead,
say. of comports.
The Washington times., 1936-02-05

Blunders of etiquette that are
overlooked at home may be very
costly to our social success when
committed among critical stran
gers.
Just take this little matter,
shown in our sketch, of seating the
women at the table. Perhaps Aunt
Sarah won't hold it against young
Dave If he pulls out Kathie'S chair
first at the table, instead Of giving
this attention first to the older
woman. But how about Mrs. Man
ners, whose son and daughter
move in q crowd to which Dave
and Kathie would give their eye
teeth to be admitted? What will
she think of such a breach Of eti-
quette?
Among cultivated people, we win
or lose by the little things. The
unframed guest will sit \ in para
lyzed immobility at table after he
has been served, and not touch a
mouthful until all have been
served, though 1t would be per-
fectly correct to begin to eat as
soon as one other diner is served.
Then thij same blunderer, after
he has finished eating. will push
his plate away from him with an
I'm through" air, instead Of
merely laying his knife and fork
on the plate and waiting for the
service of the next course.
