Jesse Owens having passed up a
Swedish meet where he was to ap-
pear with other transforming
members of the American Olympic
track team, is reported TO be on
his way home to investigate the
extent of his popularity with his
native landsmen so as to consider
some of the pro offers that have
reached him across the ocean. In
the meantime, continuing their
newly adopted policy of hostility
and harshness, American officials
have suspended Jesse Owens from
amateur competition merely be-
cause he deprived their Golfers OF
a few dollars that would have
been gained by then through his
appearance and betook himself

Swimming Carnival at the River

out to be one OF the finest events
of this kind ever held, with all
contestants competing on even
terms.
Although the Negro natators
failed to garner any first places,
they gave a good account of them
selves and gave promise of better
performances in the future by
capturing a number of second and
third places. There we're also a
number who were heat winners.

REVEALS
BO0Kb|ND|NG ART
Union Label League Dis
plays Ancient and Mod.
ern Methods.

Why it Is more difiicult and ex-
pensive to bind a book Of blank or
ruled pages than a thick novel with
hundreds Of pages of fine type is only
one of scores of things which may be
learned from visit to the Washing
ton Union Label League exhibition
and carnival, which closes three
day showing tonight at Typographical
Temple, 423 G street.
The development of the bookbind-
ers' art, one of the oldest still in ex-
istence, is told in the exhibit OF Local
No. 4, International Brotherhood of
Bookbinders, which was organized
here in 1892 and dates back far be-
yond that through the International
Typographical Union, of which it
was formerly a division, known as the
Society of Bookbinders. The I. T. U.
is the Oldest in continuous existence
in the country, its records going back
to 1915.
Memorial Book Shown.
One of the features Of the book
binders exhibit is a memorial book is
sued at the time of the purchase sew
eral years ago of the original Guten-
berg Bible by the Library of Congress.
The book is printed in type and style
similar to the original edition printed
by Johann Gutenberg in Mainz, Ger
many. in about 1854. 1t was pur-
chased from the Order of st. Benedict.
In decided contrast from the book
binding of the monks in the Middle
Ages, when covers were of wood and
books were equipped with metal hasps
and locks, is the exhibit of bookbind-
ing today. Like many other crafts,
bookbinding has become so special
lied that few except the most ex-
perienced can qualify in all four
branches of the craft, forwarding,
finishing, ruling and machine oper-
alton, according to Frank Griffin,
president of Local No. 4, who Is in
charge of the exhibit.
Skill and Contrasts.
A modern novel, printed with high
speed presses from electrotype plates,
is relatively inexpensive in compari-
son with a plain hotel register, for
example, which requires mostly hand
work. From the ruling of the lines
to the most elaborate hand work re-
quired for putting on special colored
edging the bookbinding job requires
the highest skill.
The skill of the baker, the machin-
iSt, needle trades worker, cigar maker
and a score of other crafts also are
on display at the exhibit.
Music at the carnival tonight will
be furnished by Meyer Davis Orches-
ira, Dave McWilliams directing. John
B. Colpoys. United States marshal
and former president of the Wash
ington Central Labor Union. one of
the groups sponsoring the exhibit,
will make brief talk.

HOWARDFOOT BALL.
TEAM D|SBANDED.
Action Taken After Strike in
Effort to Get Meals
for Players.

Howard University's foot ball team
was definitely disbanded for the re-
mainder of the season today following
the refusal Of officials to buy" meals
for the players because it would PRO
fessionalize" athletics.
The following statement was issued
from the office Of DR.. Mordecai W.
johnson, president Of the university:
Howard University is bound by the
legislation of its faculties establishing
athletics on an amateur basis, in
accord with the regulations of the
Middle State Association Of Colleges
and Secondary Schools and the Col
ored intercollegiate Athletic Associa-
ton.
No Special Consideration.
According to these regulations 1t
is not possible for the university to
award scholarships, money, or the
equivalent of money, such as board,
lodging, etc, to any student or stu
dents of the university on account of
athletic ability or participation in
athletic contests. In these matters,
athletics are not considered to qualify
the student for special consideration.
Athletes are required to conform to
the regular standards exacted Of all
students"
1t was also revealed that at .
meeting of students. alumni and fac
ulty representatives, it was decided
to cancel the annual Howard-Lincoln
foot ball game scheduled for Thanks
giving day.
This decision was made, the state
ment said. ''in view of the failure Of
the foot ball team to take the field
for the game with Virginia Union
University November IA and the
consequent break in the training nee
essary for creditable performance"
Petition Studied.
The action taken by the university
officials came after they studied a
petition submitted by supporters Of
the foot ball team and signed by hum
dreds of students who staged a SYM
pathy strike last Monday.
The demands in the petition were:
Campus jobs payable in board for foot
ball players, preparation Of the meals
by a registered dietitian. best-quality
equipment for the team, an adequate
and experienced training staff, sufi-
cient medical supplies for care of in
jured players. appointment Of a gradu-
ate manager. publicity and press
agents and revision of the Board of
Athletics Control.
Although refusing to meet the de-
mands that would jeopardize the anna
teur standing of the foot ball team.
the school officials said they would give
thoughtful consideration" to those
demands that seemed reasonable.
