Kentucky Has Easy Schedule.

IRON a schedule standpoint. per-
haps Kentucky has the best
chance to finish with clean confer
ence slate. 1t has only four big 13"
games. playing Georgia Tech, Florida,
Alabama and Tennessee. Chet
'Wynne has an experienced line-a
giant line. too-and probably the
greatest backfeld quartet in the
South in johnson, Davis, Simpson
and Sands.
But for q suicidal schedule, Georgia
Tech would rate with Auburn and
l.. 8. u. as a favorite. The Jackets
take on eight conference opponents,
including Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Au-
burn, Alabama and Georgia. 1t would
be well-nigh impossible TO hurdle that
group.
Two of the most improved teams
will be Mississippi and Mississippi
State, both of which came forward
by leaps and bounds last year. Under
the coaching OF Ed Walker and Maj.
Ralph Sasse, respectively.
Vanderbilt will have a hard time
finishing as high as in 1885, when
1t was runner-up to Louisiana State,
losing to the champions, 7-2. Four
teen lettermen were lost and the team
will be lighter than last year.
Tennessee faces a strenuous sched-
ule but the able Maj. Neyland may
be depended upon to provide some
surprises and upsets. Georgia Ger
tainly will be improved. The team is
heavier.
As was the case last year, Duke and
North Carolina should be the most
powerful contenders in the Southern
Conference, with North Carolina State
perhaps enjoying its best year and
edging into the picture as a title
threat. Hunk Anderson has had Just
about enough time to get his system
working effectively and has two great
backs in Robinson and Berlinski.

Ten Have Title Chances.


TULANE and Florida, due to the
installation Of new systems, and
sewanee, because Of lack Of material,
can have little hope of turning out
contenders this year. However, any
one of the remaining 10 teams can
produce a Southeastern Conference
champion.
Louisiana State and Auburn are
preseason favorites. Both have
rather difficult schedules and if they
come through unbeaten until Novem-
Der IA, the championship may be
decided that day in Birmingham.
After that L. S. U. plays only Tulane
and Auburn engages only Florida in
the conference.
Prior to their meeting in mid
November, L. S. U. must face Wander
bilt and Mississippi State in row,
while Auburn has long trip to play
Santa Clara in California and then
tackles Georgia Tech. They should
square off about even.
Jack Meagher, Auburn's coach, who
was voted as having done the best
coaching job in the South last year,
has a very fine squad. Gilbert at
center and CAN'T at guard are two
splendid linemen.
At Louisiana, Bernie Moore lost
Rukas and Carroll, two experienced
tackles; Barrett, a valuable end, and
Abe Mickal, the triple-threat back.
However, All-America Gaynell Tins
ley returns, plus wealth Of backfield
material. Last year L. S. U. was
able to employ two separate teams
On all the games and probably can do
the same thing this year.

TORONTO, September 12.-The
battle for the Canadian open golf title
appeared to be q two-man affair as
the final 36-holes began today, even
though many Of the big time" club
bers of the United States and Canada
remained in the field.
Lawson Little Of San Francisco,
abdicated ruler Of amateur golfdom,
was so far ahead of most of his
rivals after two par-slashing rounds
that only Dapper Paul Runyan, for
mer P. G. A. title holder from White
Plains, N. Y, appeared to have any
chance to overhaul him.
Little carded 67-66-l33 for his first
two rounds, beating par for the st.
Andrews public course by seven
strokes. The sharpshooting Runyan
was in second place with 72-65-137.
Two Tie for Third Place.
JACK LITTLE of Ottawa, who
equaled par twice, and Tony
Manero Of Greensboro, N. c.. United
States open title holder, with 69-7l,
were tied for third with laos. Then
came AL Watrous of Birmingham.
Mich, with 141, and a whole flock
of stars with 142s and 143s.
Barring sudden form reversal, the
final dash to the tape looked a battle
between Little's booming drives and
Runyan's superaccurate iron shots.
The Persidio FOUNDER, smashing the
old course record twice in succession,
made things easy for himself by slug
ging the ball 800 yards or SO down
the fairway every time he needed the
distance. His iron play and putting
were quite up to the standard.
On the other hand, 230 yards
seemed to be about the best Runyan
could do of the tee, yet he needed
only "a puts for the entire round.

Says!!Keltucky Hanging
''Shames America"

New York-A letter published on
the editorial page of the New York
Post under a four column headline
from r. Miller reads: al used to think
that peoples nature is changing for
the better, and I have often cited the
corroborating fact that people, espe-
cially some races, are not as cruel as
they used to be. Americans, I be-
lieved fondly, were in the vanguard
of the march toward a more humane
and ethical character. But recent
events in Kentucky have killed my be-
lief that the morals of Americans are
changing for the better. When thou
sands of Southerners buzz like blue
flies around carrion at the public
execution of Negro, then we have
not progressed one bit from the time
when motley crowd of people gath
cred around the execution of an old
woman who was burned at the stake
for being witch in the middle ages"

Girl Choose To Live
With Celored Father

Baltimore.-Miss Gladys Smith, 49,
year-old Douglass high school grad
uate, has decided to remain in the
custody of her Negro father, rather
than grow up as white with her white
mother, Mrs. Nellie Smith of New
York.
Her decision was reached at re-
cent hearing in the northern police
court, at which Mrs. Smith sought
to obtain legal guardianship of the
girl, who for the past year has lived
with her father, Herbert Smith, 1928
McCulloh street.
When the magistrate gave her the
privilege of choosing the parent with
whom she would live, Miss Smith an
announced that she would rather re-
main with her father in Baltimore,
where she expects to enter the Coppin
Normal school and prepare for the
teaching profession. The case was
then dismissed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith were married
in 1917 and divorced in 1888. Since
that time Mr.. Smith has married
Mrs. Lillian Dorsey Smith.
Says She Is Not Negro
During the hearing, Mrs. Smith
declared she is not Negro but of
Portuguese, Spanish and Caucasian
extraction. She also stated that she
has continually written her daughter
to come to New York and even sent
money, but the money was returned
and Gladys did not answer the letters.
She repeatedly declared that she did
not wish her daughter to associate
with Baltimore Negroes.
Recently when she came to Balti-
more in order to see Gladys, they told
her that she was not at home, Mrs.
Smith declared several times during
her testimony that she had been put
out.
Testifying relative to his former
wife's race, Mr.. Smith declared that
she associated and lived with colored
persons at the time he met her. 1t
was not until after their separation
that his wife, who is of light COM
plexion began passing as Spanish.
He pointed out that Mrs. Smiths
sister had married and always lived
and associated with Negroes. In re-
futing his wife's statements of having
good home in New York, Mr.. Smith
stated that his daughter had told him
differently.
An Honor Student
During the year that Gladys had
been with him, it was evident that the
change had benefited her and that her
surroundings were better than those
in New York, Mr.. Smith said. The
father charged that the action was
brought as revenge after the girl in
dicated she would remain here.
She entered Douglass high school
in October, in order to qualify for
Coppin, graduating in June with an
"a for one semester and an 81 for the
other.
She is approximately 5 feet inches
tall and of light complexion with black
bobbed hair, naturally curly. She is
considered one of the city's foremost

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. %, 1996.-The

convinced that one item in this pro-

history in the curricula of both Negro

development of justifiable pride on
the part of Negroes, and of under
standing and cooperation on the part
of both races.
