Columbus South's ferocious
Bulldogs chased the meek New
ark Wildcat merrily around and
around Edwards gymnasium at
Delaware in the Central district
tournament last Saturday night
and defeated the Cats for the
second time this season 45-40
The defeat ended the Wildcats
basketball season and left them
with a record of seven wins and
thirteen defeats.
Newark had entered the second
round of the tourney by whip
ping Washington C. H. Friday
night. Washington presented a
two-man team to the Cats, but
those two were almost enough to
trip the Wildcats. Newark man
aged to stop Washington's star
center, but they didn't have a
chance to stop their brilliant for
ward, a color flash by the name
of Card. He slammed in shots
from almost every place on the
floor and played a grand floor
game. Card played his cards
very well to account for Is
points.
In the South game it was
South all the way. The Column
bus City League champ used
their rangy men to a good ad-
vantage both on defense and of
fense. Smoky Joe Evans, di-
minutive negro guard, got in the
Wildcats hair all evening. He
scored IA points and broke up
Wildcat plays, stole the ball, and
even got rebounds. Earl Walk
er, Bob Mathews and Clyde
Shipp, three seniors, (the only
ones on the team) ended their
basketball careers in great form.
But their play couldn't defeat
Ernie Ablan, Evans and COM
pany.
Everyone is expecting st.
Francis to make a very favor
able showing in the coming Co.
lumbus Diocesan basketball tour
nament which will be held this
Friday night. Come on Falcons,
don't disappoint any of US. A
drab basketball season for most
fans was turned into a thing of
beauty when one of our favorite
teams-the mighty Mt. Vernon
Yellow Jackets was defeated by
Columbus Aquinas, 1892, to
knock any hopes of a district or
state championship hopes of the
Jackets to the winds. Mt. Yer
non had the best record of any
quintet in the tourney and
Aquinas the worst next to New
ark. Aquinas knocked off the
naughty Jackets in a second
round encounter. Aquinas must
meet Marion Harding in the
semi-finals and the Terriers
should win if they play basket
ball instead of clowning around.
In Jack Clifford, "Bruff" Nc
Quade, and "Wheaties" Whalen,
Aquinas have three of the out

ment. Ask Jake Givens and

logical meeting with the girl using the crutch.
 He had received instructions to contact this person at once, and he had already been in town al- most a week., Still he had been told to move with discretion, too. He knew it would never do to rush in carelessly. The whole fate of 8 nation - if one looked at it that way - hung on his or her under-cover activity here; but more important, his personal pleasure and fortune was at stake.
 He didn't see either Ronica or Miss Montoya downtown. He tele- phoned the Rocking R ranch again Saturday afternoon, but neither Ronnie nor her father was in. He went. somewhat in boredom, to a theater, then after dinner in a cafe drove back to his own dude ranch to dress for the nights dance.
 As he dressed he whistled in mounting anticipation. He would see Ronica again even hold her in his arms and dance with her!
 Before his dressing mirror, An dre surveyed himself. He had a powerful frame. Weight right at 200 pounds. Good muscles not to be scoffed at in his work - and perfect polish in manner, too he told himself.
 It was just after p. m. when headlights of his sleek, almost silent new coupe picked up a sign on the highway. Rocking R Ranch, Turn here," it read. He made the turn and almost immediately had to slow down for an elderly and rather rattly sedan ahead of him. Impa- tiently, he touched his horn.
 The car ahead couldn't pull out of the narrow trail, and apparently couldn't speed up. Andres eight cylinders were wild chargers straining at their bits. He looked out in distaste.
 "Tin can affair."" he murmured. Some stupid Mexican workman"
 They sweved into the big loop beside the ranch house porch. An- dre saw that the house was mas sive thing of rocks and logs. He was appraising it in the moon- light, hence not driving with much care, when the rattly sedan stopped beside the front step just ahead of him.
 Slap! Crashi Bumpers collided. rather hard.
 Whats the idea?" Andre growl- ed, leaving his seat. Isn't there a servants entrance to this place? Now please get that thing away from the door before we come out"

But Andre Girardeau was not listening. Already this ebullient swain had stepped up onto the porch and was walking toward Ronica in the big lighted living room,
 Standing in the darkness beside his rattly secondhand sedan, Wes- ley York heard happy greetings and laughter within, and saw every where about this ranch the evidences of wealth and arstocratic living. A vital something within him seemed now to be sttfed, it's very life sud- denly ebbing away.

They Dim Our Hero

The recent announcement OF
the arrest Of John Roxbor-
ough, co-manager II J Q e
Louis, for completely in a gen
|eral lottery roundup in De
troit brings wildly to the pub
lie an important fact When
the announcement OF this ac-
ton came to the people, it was
heralded as a Joe Louis mat
ter. II WAS put as though
without the association Of the
name of Louis. Roxborough
would lose his value as law
breaker.
For sometime many good
people have felt that Louis IS
surrounded with a crowd that
will eventually give him an
unwholesome place in history
La view of the repeated un-
pleasant notoriety his mana
gers and business friends con-
SANITY give him it would be
a glorious thing for Joe Louis
To step out of the lime light
while he is still the ideal OF
both races in this country. It
would be better for him. and a
great boon to his race. Only a
kind Providence knows how
llis people would be hurt If he
should be cl,iminally involved
IN some OF the scandals that
SO often are tied to his man
ayers. 1t is certain the fates
won't be with him always. II
Time to quit, and pick an
other crowd He might &C
back to his deaconate. It
would be safer.

w hy Our Leaders
Sell Us Out

One often hears the charge
that Negro leaders sell THEN
people cut. There is bit OF
truth in this charge. But tie
treason is Il reflection on both
the sellers and those sold.
Negroes. as a group. want
their leaders to lead, but don't
want to make it possible fol
them to lead. They actually
refuse to make it financially
possible for decent leaders to
stand upon their feet and lead
honestly. When a leader is
starved by his followers there
is great danger of his accept
ing bribes and gratuities from
the other side. The writer saw
IN excellent example of this a
few nights ago. A certain pro-
fessional in an Ohio City or
ganized his people in a very
formidable group to win po-
/
litical honor and jobs for the
Negro community in general.
The group is actually effective.
But the rub comes in the fact
that the members of this or
ganization leave it to the Lead
er to meet all expenses as best
he can. They contribute moth
ing, yet they tell him not to
accept money from the other
side.
The Negro must awaken to
the full reality of this indus
trial world. ! oaders must have
an economic background on
which to lead, otherwise their
lssderahip will % uacsrsAins
