PRO FOOTBALL
LOOMS BRIGHT
FOR DETROIT
Former College Stars
Seek Financial Aid
For Pro Eleven

Prospects that Detroit will have
a strong colored professional team
loom very bright. according to
several former college gridiron
stars who are now living In the
Motor City.
Those who are laying plans for
the building OF strong team,
have been sounding a number OF
business men In the city with the
hope that financial assistance can
be given the club.
Some Of the prime movers In the
efforts to establish a professional
club here are Ben Stevenson anc
william Moberly, formerly mem
bers OF Tuskegee institute teams.
and Bull Moore, former WILDER
force university player.
Greatest Tuskegean
Stevenson, considered the great
est player ever to wear the Grim
son OF the Alabama school, has
been living In Detroit for the past
couple of years. Last year he
spent some time down In Ohio
where he was q member OF white
professional team.
Since coming TO Detroit a num-
Der OF his friends. and football
enthusiasts. tried TO get him a
trial with the Detroit Lions. but
the old racial bars were raised a
gainst this great football player.
Moberly was also member OF
the Ohio team on which Ben
sparkled. Both were compelled "a
leave when other teams In the
league might be formed. II DetroiI
could get behind q team.
He pointed out the success Of
the Brown Bombers in New York
a team coached by Fritz Pollard
former Brown university grid
luminary. Joe Lillard. one Of the
few colored players ever to play
with the National League football
teams. is a member OF the Brown
Bombers.
