Boston Crackers

Henceforth, until policy is changed

that school as if B. c. stood for Boston
Crackers"
Imagine benching a full fedged Col
ored American against Southern teams

"happy sociabiGties" with these cheap
un-American Hitlerites as Boston
College is doing today.
Lord help the Jews at Boston Col
lege if this Nazi raceology is allowed
to advance to its full course! And
don't think it can not, gentlemen.
Was it "happv sociabilities" when
Vice President Garner feted the 1889
Cotton Bowl Eagles to the exclusion of
their Colored ace?
Was it "hapny sociabilities" that led
Boston Jesuit fathers to agree to
betray Colored Christiandom against
Clemson, Tulane, Auburn, and now
Tennessee? Would Christ desert even
the least of His flock?
These acts OF B. C. overshadow any
professed B. c. "favors" to Colored

"Chummy'' Robart to
Play in Charity
Football Tilt

"Chummy" Robart, former Rindge
Tech great tackle and all scholastic
player, will round out his first year
of Southwestern football in a charity
game, today, at New Orleans.
Xavier and Southern Universities
play this game annually for the bene-
fit of the New Orleans Lions Club.
The proceeds of the game enable the
Club to carry on its work of furnishing
eyeglasses for needy children, both
colored and white. Last year, close
to 10000 spectators saw Xavier take
a thrilling decision.
Both teams more or less prime for
this annual contest and are usually at
their best for it. Southern, recently
having been hailed as the co-champion
of the Southwest Conference, has been
made pre-game favorite to cop the
decision. Xavier, after a brilliant
season, will have much to say, how
ever, about the final winner.
Regardless of who beats who, the
poor ''kids" of New Orleans stand to
win a decision over bad eyesight. 1t
is noteworthy that although the game
will bring together two of the best
colored football teams in the country
the proceeds will not entirely benefit
the colored population alone. 1t is
great tribute to the Lions Club and the
broadminded contributors of that sec
tion that they have left any semblance
of racial animosity out OF the affair
and are helping all deserving help. l
have two letters from friends, IN that
great section, telling of last years
game. Both mention how the colored
and the white spectators turned out
last wear in large numbers without any
fear of segregation, or, what-not. This
years following is expected to be even
larger as both teams are boastlng
winning combinations.

st Alumni Not
Satisfied With

That A. G. T alumni came into pro-
minence again last week as reports
came out Of North Carolina that they
were dissatisfied with the coaching at
their alma mater. The A. & I
"Aggies" won 8, lost 3 and tied in
the season just past to finish sixth in
the C.IA.A. Conference standing.
Homer Harris and "Rollie" Bernard,
of Cambridge, the present coaches, are
the object of the new attack. The
alumni of the Greensboro college have
long been a strong influence OF
"Aggie" athletic policy. No more than
two years ago, one of the most promi-

Inman Break, was fired because he had
failed to produce championship teams.

In Old Mexico

Some SNUG citizens have failed to
realize that other countries are hot
rivals for U.S.A. Colored athletes and
that if U.S.A. major loops don't want

basketball uniform to get ready for
his current teams opener on Friday,
the 18th, against the Boston College
Independents at the Roxbury Memo

Popular Lou has surrounded himself
with some of the best basketball talent
in this section. The Blackhawks will

The champ refuses to believe that the

It's good sound practice and wise OF
the king heavyweight to do so because
in Mccoy he will find a stout-hearted
competitor. He hasn't been licked yet
that is by Louis, and won't be until
the referee tells him so on the loth'
Unlike many of Louis recent oppo-
nents, Mccoy can be counted on TO
enter the ring with fighting heart.
However, Louis should have very
little, if any, trouble with his latest
challenger, for, although he has been
rather impressive in his latest fights,
he is no real match for the champ he
has lust as much chance OF winning as
anv of the other present day hopetuIiS5

will have to wait until father time

he is defeated.
