continuing, the speaker said THE
chief and only reason Tor the ex-
istence Of the Negro press is to tell
the STORY OF our people to the world.
The Negro press Is, therefore, urged
To ten lne most favorable ana ed

cause Mnlte newspapers are always
seemingly oyer-anxlous 10 tell the
vicious and unfavorahie side Of a
struggling people.
L enpnatlcaay urge the Negro
editor To bolster UP our leaders, our
business enterprises, institutions, So
ciety and achievement rather than to
seeA TO scoop the so-called inside
gossip and magnify the failures Of
those Of our race who stand in the
forefront. The Negro press should
always strive to advocate progress
and recognition of achievement Of
members Of our race, in contrast To
the subtle propaganda of dailies that
ever seek To minimize Negro life
and achievement.
As means Of giving impetus to
greater opportunities for Negro
printers, editors, authors, cartoonists
and skilled workers i'll the printing
trade and its allied industies in this
country, ] suggest that we inangur--
ate il NATIONAL NEGRO LITERA-

ministers, clubs, schools and other

College in such game, the "Thun--
dering Herd Of Kentucky State
College this week called it year,
and put aside all football parapher-
naiia The question uppermost in
their minds now is Who's Who IL
Negro National Football?"
It is unfortunate that the sThoro-
breds' were prevented from complet-
ing their regular schedule through
the ssmuddling" of affairs at Nash
vile on Thanksgiving Day. This
doesn't seem to change the situation
much, however, because on pure
dope, and on Tennessee's play against
other Mid-Western teams, the
"Thorobreds" were cinch to come
out on top victorious. We will al
ways contend that the strength Of
the 1897 edition of "Thorobreds'
was never determined this year. The
Kentuckians defeated most of their
opponents In a most decisive fashion,
and we doubt that Tennessee State
would have done any better than
,fh fns. 4 a45 ef fnx
schools played by both teams. There's
West Virginia, which defeated Ten
nessee Go and which was in turn
defeated by Kentucky State 4l-6.
There's Lincoln, which played a
scoreiess tie with Tennessee, and
which was in turn defeated by KEN
lucky f4-0. Then there's Wilber-
force, defeated in the closing sec
onds by Tennessee, 6-3, and which
was defeated III most decisive fash
ion by Kentucky $50. Facts don't
lie, and facts will show the superi-
ority of the Kentucky State team.
Any sound thinking football analyst
could see nothing but decisive de-
feat for Tennessee on Thanksgiving
Day. Naturally, the game can't be
played now; naturally, we can only
surmise and conjecture as to whit
might have happened. But we still
feel that even Tennessee State would
have proved no match for this Ken
tucky team, which knew not its own
strength.
1t is unfortunate, too, that fans
could not have witnessed the Ken
Huckians in Just one more game
this year. The season was all too
short, despite the fact that as long
as it lasted the Kentuckians were on

yard, and Cuff, former Marquette

fury and perfection of execution
probably never has been equalled
on a gridiron. In Is plays, two

Pipe Dream
Terry and Mccarthy
Haze Word "DMeL"

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-That story
going the rounds of the hotel
lobbies about a near fist fight
between Bill Terry and Joe Nc
Carthy, rival New York managers,
turned out today to be nothing
but a pipe dream.
Both here for the major league
meetings, Mccarthy and Terry
ran into each other, the latter
putting away on his big briar.
Hey, Bill" said Joe, jokingly,
"how do you expect to manage
a ball club smoking that pipe"
Terry halted and frowned.
"One of those blue ribbon
guys, eh," he said, and turning
on his heel, marched away in
a huff.
And that's the closest they
came to a fight.
The Washington times., 1937-12-06

The play accounted for
62 yards and a touchdown.
New York's second touchdown
came when Danowski tossed a
short one to Tuffy Leemans across
the Redskins goal line to culmin-
ate a 73-yard drive which started
when Tom Thorpe'S heart went
out to the Giants as he penalized
the Redskins Is yards for alleged
roughing. Tom refereed the game.
His corpulence at times proved
costly for the Redskins. Tom be-
longs in the press box at a race
track, not on a gridiron.
After that third quarter furry
on the part of the Giants, who
should be knowns as the MinimS,
the Redskins literally beat the
devil out of Tim Mara's men.
Just to show the stuff of which
they are made, the Redskins, after
those two New Yrok touchdowns,
went Sc yards in five plays. Battles
gained II yards in three tries, all
through the right side of the
Giant line, Baugh tossed a. short
pass to Malone, good for 10. Then
Sammy wound up and pulled the
neatest play of the game at the
very moment when it counted
most for the Redskins and against
the Giants.
Fading back, on the fifth play,
Baugh faxed to the short receiver.
The defensive back, sucked in,
allowed Ed Justice to get into the
open. Sammy pitched a perfect
strike and Justice ran 20 yards for
touchdown after catching a
pass which travelled "a yards.
STILL TALLY
washington Tailed two touch
downs quickly in the fourth
quarter.
The first came after Turk Ed.
wards broke through and blocked
a punt. The ball rolled across the
Giants goal line and Wayne Mill
ner fell on it behind the goal. The
