BOSTON ON SPOT

The Georgetown Hoyas' pass de-

as that of B. U. Nor can Georgetown

Nebraska, Michigan, Notre Dame and
other western elevens. Neverthe-
less, the Eagles are on an Eastern par

TOUGH ON YOUTH

When colored boys enter a white
college they are generally at the "teen
age" and they shouldn't be blamed tOo
much for being confused by certain
adult gentlemen agreements" and
diploma terms" which have been
allowed to exist mainly because of the
indifference shown by colored adult
leaders. We blame the kids and we're
to blame ourselves! But not all to
blame either. Even a teen age boy
should know his rights. However,
the average boy doesn't want to enter
college weighted with the role of race,
religious, or political champion. He
doesn't want to give up his good
times with a lot of seemingly unneces.
sary sacrifice. He doesn't like to be
the storm center of religious, racial
or political upheavals when he's trying
desperately to make friends with
everybody. 1t may even seem better
to give up certain rights to keep peace
all around. Then comes graduation
and the search for equal Jobs, equal
rights-equal anything. It's tough on
youth when adults yield to dazzling

South Watching Us

1t was the Colored Press of Boston
which gained a hearing at Boston Col
lege. There was very little outside
help. Few of Boston's many race
organizations paused long enough to
write letters of protest or stage street
demonstrations. Only a few letters
appeared in the daily papers. Appar-
emily nobody cared in 1889. Some
even said jim crow was justified.
Then from the deep South" came
the roars of colored editors and to the
amazement of many, the South was
blasting Boston!
These editors, especially those of
Texas, all strongly implied that if
Boston-the athens of American
Liberty not guarantee colored
citizens their rights, what hope would
there be for the majority of the sorely
oppressed in the South? They almost
pleaded for Boston to stand firm but
to many people here the affair seemed
quite trivial.
To say that the South is again
watching Boston isn't necessary. The
only question is whether our leaders
here are watching jim crow.

Montgomery Again
Sparks BIC. Victory

Almost lost in paeans of praise for
his B. c. team mates, Lightning Lou
Montgomery, the Eagles colored right
halfback, actually threw the initial
scoring pass that enabled Boston Col
lege to defeat Georgetown University
1910 last week at Fenway Park.
B. c. Needed Lou
Montgomery started the game at
right half before 10000 persons in
cluding several all-American experts
who saw very little of the famed
Brockton Bomber. Montgomery put
B. c. back into the ball game after
Georgetown went out in front 1O-O
in the first minutes of play.
Pinned back to her own 28-yard
line, B. C.'s first sparkling run was
by Montgomery on his first carry. He
went beautifully for five yards, dodg-
ing and twisting sensationally. Then
Lou played about eight yards beyond
his right end in a fanking position,
twice acting as a pass receiving deeoy,
while O'Rourke successfully passed
down the center to the Georgetown
21-yd. stripe When the Hoyas moved
to smother the B. c. offense, 0'Rourke
fed a lateral to Montgomery out on
the flank and Montgomery fired the
first B. C. touchdown pass to left end
Woronicz who scored after a fve-yard
run.
Following this first period play,
Montgomery was removed from the
game amid great ovation. He did not
return.

failed to get the proper support from
his teammates. Rindge Tech should
change those power plays for brute
strength and ignorance are taboo in
modern football. Sammy Best who
was recently promoted to the first team
played an outstanding game and should
be considered for all-scholastic honors.
