WOODRUFF REPEATS IN THE
440, $50 EVENTS AT INTER-
COLLEGIATE MET

NEW YORK-As the University of
Southern California completely domi-
mated the Intercollegiate A.A.AA.
last Saturday at the Triborough Sta
dunn on Randall's Island, after COM
piling the amazing total of 7 1-2
points, Long John Woodruff, Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh's sensational Col
ored flyer, enjoyed an exclusive tri-
umph to escape (by narrow margin)
the Trojan's powerful sweep. The
Pitt superman took the quarter and
half mile races to emerge the first
three-time winner of these events
since 1884, and, in addition to this
feat, John equalled the 440-yard fig
ures for the third consecutive year
with At seconds fiat, and nipped the
88O-yard figure with 1912 seconds.
The 44O a thriller
And, mark you, Woodruff certainly
received no bargain when he was
thrown into competition against a 20
man Western invasion, and his laurels
were placed conspicuously on the line.
The 440 event was the most thrilling
race of the day, with Howard Upton,
and Edwin Miller, both of the Uni
versity of Southern California, crowd
ing Long John for first-place honors
in a really terrific manner. The Pitt
pride carried the burden with the reso-
luteness of Missouri mule, when.
as they came plodding into the
straightway, only inches away from
the Pitt ace, ensnarled in a heated
"plodders-nest," John heightened his
strides to reach the tape few inches
ahead of U. of Sos Howard Upton,
proving himself a physical as well as
a speed marvel Woodruff's time for
this distance was AZ seconds.
Giddings second in Mile Run
Running a heated race in the mile
event, Louis Zamperini, took complete
command in the last lap at 1000
yards, and sprinted into the tape fully
thirty yards ahead of Curtis Giddings,

SHAW MONUMENT

In front of the State House on
Beacon Hill stands the Shaw monu-
ment showing the gallant Colonel
Robert Gould Shaw at the head of his
colored regiment The inscription
reads:
The White Officers-taking life and
honor in their hands cast in their lot
with men of a despised race improved
in war and risked death as meters of
servile insurrection if taken prisoners,
besides encountering all the common
perils of camp, march, and battle.
The Black Rank and File-volun-
teered when disaster clouded the
Union cause, served without pay for
eighteen months till given that of
white troops, faced threatened en-
slavement if captured, were brave in
action, patient under heavy and dan
gerous labors, and cheerful amid hard
ships and privations.
Together-they gave to the nation
and the world undying proof that
Americans of African descent possess
the pride, courage, and devotion of
the patriot soldier. One hundred
eighty thousand such Americans en-
listed under the Union flag in 1868
1865.
Rereading the legend causes one to
ponder the statement that "the black
rank and file volunteered when dis
aster clouded the Union cause"
The tide of war had set in against
the Union: the Rebels were continu-
ally gaining advances; it was time
when hopes of the North were droop-
ing that Colored men sprang into the
gap and helped to snatch victory from
the grasp of the would-be destroyers
of the Union. 1t is an historical fact
that it makes strong argument for
American rights as citizens. The
monument itself is a fine revelation
of the finer qualities inherent in
America at its best.
