TWENTY-FIVE RECEIVE
LETTERS At HAMPTON

HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Vain
the meeting of the football squad
this week, twenty-five letters were
awarded to Pirate football men.
Following this meeting tn lettermen
selected 18-year-old James Morgan
Griffin, Cape May, Nj, lad, as the
captain for the 1898 team. Al grad
uate of the Cape May High School,
where he starred in football, basket
ball and track, Griffin entered Hamp-
ton in the fall Of 1886. He played in
number of the games as q substi-
tute and before the season was over
he had made name for himself as
the most elusive back on Pirate
squad in years. In addition to hav--
ing won his football monogram, he
received one in track also.
Beginning the 1887 football sea-
son, Griffin tok a regular berth IN
the backfield at left wing back and
on defense played the safety posi-
ton. He has been the bulWark OF
Hampton's offense throughout tbs
season, and has thrilled thousands By
his spectacular running. His most
sensational run Of the season was
made at Bluefeld when he caught q
punt on his own 2o-yard line and
eluding the ends and tackle, streak
ed up the sideline to nid-field, cu'
back to avoid other would-be tack

offered by George Washington

cording to Butler A. Jones, 81 tins
second speaker for the affirmative
to invest too much power n trad'

lers, and raced down the field un--
touched. He has been considered
by several coaches and fans as a
man capable of holding more than
his own on any college football
eleven.
Incidentally, Griffin's father was a
Pirate football man in 1907, having
played quarterback.
With the loss Of only eight letter
men, Griffin will have well-round
ed team to support his next season;
and with Hampton on the top he
will undoubtedly make place on
the All--American for Negro colleges.

Twenty-Five years later Dougla

SUPREME COURT
TO CONSIDER 8
DISTRICT CASES
Session of High Bench
To Open Monday

Eight District of Columbia
cases are scheduled for considera-
ton before the term of the United
States Supreme Court which opens
Monday.
Foremost among the suits is an
appeal by the Potomac Electric
Power Company from a decision
Of the Court of Appeals UNFOLDING
Q tax assessment made against the
company in 1934-35 by the Dis
trict Commissioners amounting to
$45,303.
QUESTIONS GROUNDS
The company claims the assess.
ment was made on the sale of
electricity and rent from land,
buildings and equipment in Mary
land. The company's brief on file
in the case holds that the attempt
of the Commissioners to collect
the taxes enters the realm OF in
terstate sales and therefore is a
violation of the Constitution.
Another suit of Importance to
District residents is involved in the
action of j. Dallas Grady against
Carrie M. Garland. Mr.. Grady is
asking the high court for re-
view of a decision, which upheld
o covenant, prohibiting the sale or
rental of a piece of property to
colored people. The house involved
is situated on First st. near S St.
N. w:
Mr.. Grady complains that con-
tinued enforcement of the coven-
ant despite the change Of char
acter in the surrounding neighbor-
hood works hardship upon him.
An attempt to raise new consti-
tutional questions regarding the
Governments abrogation of the
gold clause is made in a petition
filed by John Ogden, executor of
an estate against Secretary Of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau. Mr..
Ogden has asked for a review Of a
decision of the District Court Of
Appeals dismisSing his suit to
compel the Secretary to pay off
$4,000 worth Of Liberty Bonds in
gold.
OTHER APPEALS
Other cases to be decided upon
by the high court are: A petition
for an appeal by DR.. Mcpherson
Crichton, from an 18-month SEN
tence imposed upon conviction
on a charge of performing an
illegal operation; an appeal from
q decision of the Court of Appeals,
unfolding a judgment Of $1,000
awarded Margaret Snead, a Dis
trict employee, for injuries received
when she fell in a store at 1920
Connectit 1T Ave. N. w., owned by
the Sanitary Grocery Company;
an appeal by Beatric K. Sasnett
to recover $4,000 on an accident
policy taken out on her husband,
. former washington patent at
torney, who was drowned. The
lower court held a suit instituted
In the District would not hold be-
cause the Iowa State Travelling
Mems Association named in the
