A Husky-Navy Game?

Senator David I. Walsh, chair
man of the Naval Affairs Com
mittee of the Senate, has revived
the proposal that athletic teams
representing the service academies
take part in contests in various
parts of the country.
1t will be recalled that former
Representative Fred Britten, of
Illinois, when Chairman of the
House Naval Affairs Committee,
succeeded in getting a football
game played at Chicago.
Senator Walsh says: Annapolis
and West Point belong to the whole
country, and their teams ought to
play in the south, on the Pacific
Coast, and in every other section
of the country and not select big
games year after year with the
same little group of schools"
He suggested the service schools
should not play any team two
years in a row, except for so-called
practice games" with the small
schools.
We here of the great Northwest
should get after our Senator'S to
bring that fine Naval Academy
team of gridiron warriors to the
Northwest.

who has resolved to drink not
more than a pint day; his pres
ent consumption is about one-half
pint. Another, who uses only 10
cigarettes a day, has promised
himself he'll not consume a full
pack. Playing safe on resolutions
is their doctrine. No assuaging a
grieved conscience will be neces-
sary for those birds.

'Black Dynamite" by Nat Flei-
scher :. Madison Square Garden
>. New York City . Published
by the author S1.00.
BLACK Dynamite" is the first
of series of seven volumes, tell
ing the story of the Negroes con-
tribution to boxing. 1t marks the
completion of many years of re-
search on the part of its author,
Mr.. Nat Fleischer, editor of 1.-THE
Ring" and author of number of
books on boxing. His material was
found chiefly in newspapers and
periodicals of the period, in slave
records and in stories of the Rev.
dictionary and Civil War. The
author disproves many earlier ac-
counts of the subject which have
been heretofore accepted as true.
This first volume traces boxing
from its earliest exponent, Zach
airy Mohneaux, through the car
eer of Peter Jackson, an Austral-
ian, one of the greatest Negro
fighters of all time. Mr.. F'leisch-
err shows that contrary to the
general belief it is Zachary and
not his son, Tom, who should be
credited with founding the sport
in America. The part that Ne
groes played in the rise of boxing
in England as well as in America
is clearly seen.
Many young men sought their
fortunes in the ring in England
because slavery and its restrictions
curtailed their activity in the I'm
tied States. Bill Richmond, 1.-THE
Black Terror" and James Whar-
ton, 1.-THE Morocco Prince" are
outstanding names among those
who fought in England.
In the United States George
Godfrey and Peter Jackson are
the great figures in this period
from the last of the 18th century
to the last of the 10th century.
In spite of their ability there were
white fighters at the time who
refused to accept a match with
them.
Among these were John L. Sulli-
van who would not face a Negro
in the ring and whom many at
the time felt would have met de-
feat at the hands of Peter Jack
son had he accepted his challenge.
Mr.. Fleischer's style is swift,
colorful and well suited to his ma
terial. His vocabulary is full of
words common in ring parlance,
and he is able to lend excitement
to each of the many fights he de-
scribes here.
In his preface the author states
that succeeding volumes will ap-
pear as rapidly as the reception of
his work warrants. The Negro
fighter is fortunate in having
found a chronicler as well pre-
pared and as thorough as Mr..
Fleischer and we can only hope
that each of these volumes will
find very warm welcome as it
appears. The next volume is to
be entitled, "Jolting Joe and Hur-
ricane Hank"
