BATES GOOD PLAYER

In this latest case Of discrimina-
ton, the young man, like so many
more colored boys, wanted an educa-
ton 50 he was willing TO utilize his
football ability to get one. n. Y. u.
was willing TO offer him the chance
50 he made his decision and at once
began making plans to enter the in
stitution. AS | remember "Biggie"
as we called him in the CLA.A., he
was hard player, but clean, and very
much interested in good sport. En-
rolling at st. Paul, he finished his
high school work, for Bates had to
drop out Of school in order to work
and help things along at home, and
meanwhile made quite name for him
self in football and basketball. Upon
completion Of his work there he
headed for New York and the chance
which had been offered him two years
previously. During his freshman
year, he showed signs Of greatness
and Nal Stevens and the rest of the
Violet athletic officials must have
stuck out their chests in anticipation
of what was TO come. Then it did
come but not just as they expected.
For when "Biggie" was offered a
scholarship some three years ago, he
was told that it would not be possible
for him to play against the U. Of Mis-
souri, you know, one Of those "gen-
tleman's agreement" sort Of thing be-
tween the two schools. Of course,
Bates could have said "no. if l can't
play against them then l don't care to
r1,ry n . 1IU bty+ the = mould bavya voaoy1f
no education, for, as we pointed out,
Bates had the same problem as many
other athletes :. lack of funds. Well,
as you know, he accepted the scholar
ship, as any other boy would do with

4 college wants a great football team
I. one that viii be heralded from one
end Of the country to the other and
above all, one which the public viii paw
70 see perform. Naturally, that means
that there must be some sort Of entice-
ment on the part Of the school
hence the subsidizatiOn. The method
and means may vary IN as MANY places
as You find It praeticed for there are
all sorts Of ways to accomplish this
end ranging from pure professionalism
70 modified scholarship aid. And. o.
Is the practice, many cOlored football
players have enough ability to exchange
for an education. Yet, they are not
treated fairly by any measuring stick.
In business, We take it for granted.
when We see a colored man holding
some responsible position, that he has
something to sell in the way Of ability
that the manager Of the particular en-
terprise needs. Otherwise he wouldn't
be there, make no mistake about that.
In sport, we are also right in assuming
that colored player IS not On a team
just to add color to the squad but he
Is there because he has talent that i
worthy Of his position But there Is
evidently a different code Of ethic-
used in the two. For in the business
the man who has the position Is expect
ed TO carry on day in and day out,
always striving to promote more sales
or whatever else the work may be while
the player must take periodic vaca-
tons, a. the case NAV demand, from
his position because Of a silly tradition
Of jiIn-crow which has no place in this
new order. Business Is business and
80 long as We are tolerant enough to
let it take hold Of our sports We should
make sure that the same rules are

BY VICTOR EUBANK,

hsSOCldlGu EIcoS WElLeE.
NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-A better
brand of war and business news to-
day helped the stock market extend
Wednesdays rally by / to 4 points
despite comparatively heavy profit
selling.
Dealings, amounting to some L.
300,0 900 shares, were the fastest since
mid-June, although slow-downs ap-
peared now and then as prices
shifted from their tops. After alb
sorbing offerings, leaders generally
resumed the advance.
Wall Street, brokers said, was
more hopeful than ever, in the light
of European dispatches, that John
Bull would succeed in beating off
attacking Nazis. A long conflict, it
was added, with probable British
victory, might further stimulate
American industry. Domestic busi-
ness news also continued to serve
as market prop.
Revived optimism in the financial
sector was reflected in the transfer
of stock exchange seat for $4,000,
up $4,000 from the previous sale.
Strength of British Empire loans
in the bond department, as well as
improved tendencies among cor
porates, was interpreted con-
structively.
Some traders in stocks continued
to step lightly, it was understood,
pending final congressional decision
on taxes and conscription and the
desire for more assurances regarding
the foreign picture.
Prime Minister Churchills fight
ing speech to Parliament was read
with much interest in boardrooms
but, it was thought, had scant effect
marketwise.
Shares out in front most of the
day were United States Steel,
youngstown Sheet, Chrysler, United
States Rubber. Allied Chemical,

Du Pont, J. C. Penney, Johns-Man-
vile, Eastman Kodak, General Elec-
trio, Standard Oil of New Jersey,

Chicago Grain

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Wheat prices
shot up almost 2 cents bushel at.
one time today, following the trend
of securities and stiffening prices Of
other commodities associated with
the national defense program.
Buying of grains came from mills,
elevators and speculative interests.
Profit taking, attracted by the 10
cents advance since the seasons
lows were reached in mid-August,
caused a reaction from the days
best level, but prices retained most
of their gain.
Pit brokers said the progress of
war in Europe recently was more
encouraging. Elevator purchasing
was believed the result of further
cash wheat sales to the crop insur-
ance agency investing premium
payments.

STRAND

Ending this evening at the popu- lar Warner Bros. Strand theater is Little Old New York" with Alice Faye, Fred MacMurray and Rich ard Greene in the starring roles, also Lloyd Nolan in "The Man Who Wouldn't Talk"
 From the pages of Rudyard Kip ling's vibrant action-romance "The Light That Failed" comes a great motion picture of the same name made mightier by the years most sensational cast.
 The popular Strand proudly pre- sentS this great picture tomorrow afternoon, the opening day of its four day engagement, with Ron- aid Coleman, Walter Huston, Ida Lupino and Dudley Digges in the leading roles.
 This film marks Colman's first starring vehicle since his recent suc- cess in If I Were King" and &C., cording to advance reports he is one of the leading contenders for the Academy Award due to his splendid performance in this picture.
 The picture has plenty of thrills and reaches dramatic heights which have been equalled seldom in mo- tion pictures. It is the story of a great artist and adventurer, played by Colman, who is driven to despair by the coolness of his sweetheart, also an artist, who is jealous of his success. He decides to paint symbolic portrait of a woman, called "Melancholia" to show up a similar painting the girl is mak- ing.
