upon arrival home, Earl Percy,

This is one Of the most amazing
true stories on record.
1 am not going to tell you how
Bill Richmond was reared ike the
very son of the Duke OF Nortnum-
berland, how he had his choice Of
favors and careers, how he stood
up under British insults and
schooled himself in prizefighting
until he became the best heavy
weight of his time and the idol
of British royalty. His first pub
lie fight was over a white girl.
"There was good looking dam

she was white, she made love TO
him and this was resented by a
fellow named Frank Meyers who

Two interesting things are the
basketball Stadiu.ns and lighted
courts. Just as you see closed in
softball parks in Birmingham, you
find closed-in outdoor courts in
Florida that are lighted for night
playing. Open courts for night
playing are also present.
Though Florida has a statewide
organization of. prep schools, lit
tie headway is visible in the prog
ress of players to college. For
instance the whole freshman bas-
ketball team is Yankee. This
may be true in all the sports.
You find a reason for Dixie ath-
letic boys not freely going off to
college Florida, they admit, Is
not fully cured of the evil of play
ing out-of- school boys. And, too,
school officials much covet the op-
portunity to commercialize on
sports. Seems like there is an over
emphasis of victory. Lack of facili-
ties, equipment and good coach
ing play a large part.
But such evils are passing out.
Still, this thing of the "we-must-
win-spirit'' is danger tendency.
Is winning the only objective Of
high school sports? Is it the chief
