Hawks Lose Final Game l5-6 To
Field Artillerymen Sunday

Coming back again in the third
quarter with Biddle making con-
sistent gains through the line Bid
die charged over for another score,
this time the point was good. Kept
in the hole most of the first three
quarters, the Tans at times showed
considerable offensive punch but
it never seemed to last long enough
to bring a score.
With the last quarter starting
the Tans made their final bid to
stay in the game as Tanner began
throwing passes one of which, to
"Doghouse Houston" behind some
sweet blocking by Paul Chappell,
brought a good thirty-yard gain.
Another to "Switchy" Height, with
Chappell again blocking, took the
ball down to the Guards % where
the Guardsmen recovered a tumble.
The Hawks put their running at
tack to work which up to this point
had been nil. Jack Tanner packed
the ball for two first downs and a
touchdown. The try-for-point fail
ed as the Black and Tans' season
was brought to close when Timer
Claude Norris fired the final gun.

BY jacques b. Chappen

Sundays 1876 defeat at the
hands of the National Guards eli
raaxed one of the most spectacular
seasons of the Community League
and the Black and Tans ended
their season, one of the most spec
tacular in the leagues history.
Unable to regain the pace that
led them to the championship of
last year the Tans won but two
games, lost five, and tied one this
season. In the eyes of many, this
may seem to have been disas-
trous season but no one can say
that the thrill a minute of the
Nighthawks didn't keep the fans
excited and entertained (when the
cheering section in the stands did
n't). Without a doubt the Black
and Tan eleven was the drawing
card of the league, making this
years season a very profitable one.
EARLY in the first quarter the
Field Artillery received an automa-
tic safety for 2 points. Later in
the second quarter Wieland took
a pass in the end zone for touch
down. The try-for-point failed.

Thanksgiving Day

The old Thanksgiving spirit of
sharing with others is still preva-
lent in Seattle as evidenced by a
few thoughtful organizations. The
Welcome Club, a community or
ganization of Christian women, is
noted for it's helpful work, espec-
tally during this time of the year.
They made a donation for the pia-
no for the church at Kennydale,
also gave material assistance to a
widow in need, and distributed bas-
kets to several needy families.
Bread cast upon the waters"
brought one family, a Well-filled
Thanksgiving basket that was en-
tirely unexpected. The bread was
a donation to the Community Fund
in their recent campaign, by a mo-
Their of six children, the youngest
one fourth months. These six pen
MES were saved at the rate of a
cent a day until the worker could
return. When the courage of this
little mother carrying an over
whelming burden was brought to
the attention of the Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority the young ladies
promptly agreed that 1.-THE bread"
would return promptly at Thanks
giving a hundredfold.
The. Business and Industrial
Girls of the Y.W.C.A. choose an
entirely different family, and their
twenty or more members piled the
foodstuffs high that are to go to
a family of eight.
The Junior Missionary Society of
the First Church under Mrs. Nath-
an Robinson, brought cheer to the
sick by packing their basket with
luscious fruit, both fresh and can
ned, that the recipient may carry
her Thanksgiving happiness for
ward for many day.
Thus the day of Thanksgiving
has been made more merry for
many because they had an oppor-
tunity to share their joys with
others.

Liquor Board On Rampage Again
After Layoff OF Several Weeks, Board
Renews Activities Against Night Clubs
Establishments Employing Negroes Are Again The
Victims OF Raiders

After apparently laying off for
several weeks, the Washington
State Liquor Boards inspectors re-
vived their raiding tactics by spec
tacular raids in the south end. The
Black and Tan and the Bagdad
were among the places visited by
the Boards raiders who used axes
to gain an entrance. According to
the daily press only about three
out of ten or twelve persons ar
rested were white.
Seattle is city of close to
four hundred thousand popula-
ton, and there is countless drink
dispensories throughout the city,
said one well-lSnOwn civic leader.
However" he continued, "that
condition is no different than
any metropolitan city; but what
appears ir0nical is that when
ever a goat has to be found or
the liquor board boys want to
make a showing, they pick on
places employing Negroes. Ne
grOes are employed in only
few night clubs, and fewer yet
if any are owned by members of
the race, still the employment
offered constitutes an appreci-
able amount of the race payroll
locally. just as it has been prov
ed with the issuing of licenses,
the Board is prejudiced," he con-
cIuded.
Citizens Wish Enterprise To
Continue Liquor Fight
Many members of the commun-
ity have approached the North
west Enterprise asking why it had
let down in its fight to secure
equality in dealings by the Liquor
Board regardless of race, creed, or
SOlOk. Ao lllC clSCllOll llGWS dllu
radio discussions occupied large
amount of space the fight against
the Board was out of the lime
light. The paper will continue to
fight over the air and in it's col
umns against the State Liquor
Board, the State Highway Depart
ment, and all other branches of
government that have practiced
discrimination, according to the
management.
Political prophets predict that a
hot fight will be waged around per-
tinent issues when the Legisla-
ture meets, and at that time it is
possible to force the issue with Sc
veral departments relative to CIV
ing the race proper recognition.

Christmas Seals protect every

H. Clark, seal sale chairman, said
this week. Funds derived from
the sale of these little penny health
messengers last year made it pos
sible for the Anti-Tuberculos
League of King County to provide
Seattle and King county physicians
during the past six months with
tuberculin sufficient to test more
than 1900 persons as we'll as X
rays when doctors requested them
for patients unable to manage the
expense. That is why support of
this campaign is SO important. For
Christmas seals are the Leagues
only source of income and our tu-
berculosis programs can go only
as far as the funds we receive"

Mother Died at S

Little Barbara was only 5. a
plump, blond, little thing rather
like the doll you always wanted
for Christmas, when her mother
died suddenly, without any illness
or warning, of an ear infection.
But it wasn't until she was ii
that she discovered that she was
to be sole heireSS to one-third of
the vast WoolWorth fortune.
The years between were strange
years for little Barbara. Perhaps
it was in those formative and i'm
portant years that she acquired
her love of travel, her hatred Of
staying long in one place, her de-
sire to be always going places and
seeing things.
When she was Broadway's
favorite playgirl, Broadway's
golden girl, travelling around the
world and coming back to the Ca
sino in Central Park betweentimes,
Barbara Hutton once said: II never
like to stay long in one place"
Her travels began when she
was only 5, when she no longer
had a mother to make a home for
