Grim-faced and determined, wea-

1898 season sets a new high for
starring roles by Negro aces in

tho traditions started in the late
1905 by William Lewis, Harvard
Negro back, who rated a place on
one of the first AllNAmericans
team ever chosen.
The parade of Negroes into ALL

through the years until today the

to be accepted as a valuable cog
in the best Of u. S. grid machines.

Just Before Christmas
(By Louis o. Hudson)

(By Louis o. Hudson)
Twas the week before Xmas at
the Madison Square Garden Hall.
The ring fans We're having their
weekly ball
The roped arena was set in the
center with care
Awaiting the fighters who would
soon be there.
Up in the Press Row on the alert,
The seribes were there to catch
the dirt;
When from the crowd there arose
a clatter,
We all looked up to see what was
the matter.
Down the aisle with his head held
high,
Came Kid socem, the Georgia
tough guy.
A moment later with a very firm
tread,
Came X. o. Punchem in his robe
of red.
They climbed thru the ropes sat
on the stools,
While the handlers adjusted their
tools,
To the center of the ring where
the refree had his say,
No hitting or butting in the break
way.
The crowd roared again with the
sound of the gong,
Both men started to punch like
the battle of King Kong.
Like ferocious beasts they start
ed to circle around,
The Kid side-stepped. ducked with
his head,
And with his experience had moth
ing to dread.
Punchem spoke not a word and
went to his work.

coaches upside down u hero was
to be found sitting in the company
of Grandpa Anvil Handbook and
Papa Junior, nibbling on a bar of
peanut candy. Cameras clicked, the
reporter from tht Black Dispatch
the leading argument settler of
Jiles County; began to pepper the
Kid with an interview long as a
freight train loaded with empty
box cars. Finally the Kid replied,
Il cannot take credit for my vic
tories, | only fight as Grandpa An
VII and Papa Junior tell me what
to do. Asked if he would fight K.
O. Punchem the home town champ?
Tho Kid stated: 81 will fight him
any time"
The train reached Rocky Noun
tains where the Kid was met with
all the pomp and splendor becom-
ing to any champ, which Joe Louis
would probably envy. The first to
greet Kid was Grandma Handbook
end the peach colored wife of the
fighter. Notes of rythm were sailed
in the air, by the Village jug Band.
In the receiving line were Doc
Visitem and the good Rev. Back
slider with the rest of the folks
from Hincty Hill. All the town
paid tribute to the new What a
man."
Reaching home after such a
grand reception the Kid took time
out to visit the school to the hill
where he first learned his two and

After all the boy of today will be

over quite a few, one attracted his

where they would spend the eve
before Christmas. 1t was from his

wife's laundry. She was one of the
local village bells and the President
of the Starch ami Wash Social club
This was one of the village Hincty
clubs exclusively for suds-busters.
Much press notice was given this
event in the Kids honor by the
Black Dispatch. It was decided that
it would be strictly invitational and
no holders of the priced parch-
ments were to be admitted, to this
gala spaghetti festival a little di-
ferrent from the pig foot struts,
given by other local clubs in the

 Man, Going Below

MT. and Mrs. Ed Olson were plane arrivals from Fairbanks over the weekend, on their way to the States to spend the winter.
 Olson is a prominent mine opera tor, operating at Flat and in Good news Bay with his brother Andrew, and associates.
 At Goodnews Bay, the Olsons are partners in the Goodnews Bay Mining Company, operating drag line and a seven cubic foot bucket dredge on platinum ground.
 Olson said the big dredge took out over million yards of dirt this summer and for it's first complete season did a good job" taking out about 1000 yards of dirt day.
 In the Olson dragline operations at Flat, a good season was experi- enced, with water conditions favor able for the best part of the sum- mer.
 With regards to new development plans, Olson said the Goodnews Bay Mining Coinpany is planning to drill ground on the Slug River in the Goodnews Bay area.
 That country was drilled before, but was not drilled adequately, Ol- son believes.
 MT and Mrs. Olson are guests at the Gastineau Hotel and will sail south on the next boat.
