A Columbia Lion

News that Johnny Woodruff is an
instructor at the largest race youth pro
ject, the big Harlem Children's Center
of the N. Y. Children's Aid Society, re-
minds that the Centers director is
George Gregory, the famed Columbia
U. basketball All-American.
Gregory was one of the first great
colored hoop stars to play for non
race college and he starred for the Co.
lumbia Lion team that won the Eastern
Collegiate Basketball championships of
1926 and 1927, he being the team cap
tain the last, and his senior year.
Gregory, Bill Sidat-Singh, ex-Syra-
cuse U; William Dolly" King, of Long
Island q; and Jackie Robinson of q.
ella. are all among the greatest bask-
etball players in the history of the
game. They prove that American de-
moeracy in sports still can be studied

Woodruff POnders
Giving Up BID. Track

NEW YORK-The ChiIdren's Aid
Society Building in Harlem is not only
a modern new structure but also boast
of some of the best instructors.
Johnny Woodruff, worlds half mile
champion and former U. Pitt. star; Ed
Williams, former N.Y.U. ace fullback
and Tommy Johnson, famed ex-
Springfield all around athlete, are all
instructors here.
Eyes So. America
Long John Woodruff, took time out
to tell his plans for the coming track
seasons. Indoors, it appears, he will
do nothing. Woodruff has never liked
the boards and it will tax indoor pro-
meters to drag Johnny onto the boards
during 1941. Johnny can be very
stubborn as he proved at Berlin during
1886. All he asked then was the right
to get by. When blocked, Johnny re-
yersed gear, swung wide around every
body and galloped on to victory.
Johnny is now thinking of South
America where the Pan-American
Olympics are scheduled to be run next
fall. Woodrff says he will run in these
games Make a note of it.

BOrican TO-Nite

Well, it's the Boston indoor track
season opening up with bang tonight
on the Garden boards.
Tonight Johnny Borican is sched-
uled to try the V.F.W. half mile pro-
vided he doesn't change to something
else. That's Johnny for you. Borican
is changeable perhaps because he is an
artist, and a good one too. And like
most artists big Johnny is also a rugged
individualist and you'll find he has
matters all arranged to his own taste
before he completes in anything. Bori-
can is no prima donna. He's all man
and was All-American hlafback at Vir-
ginia State. The trouble with Johnny
is that he is Virginian and thinks he's
got as much right to be an American
as anybody else. He's got into some
arguments about it but somehow ap-
pears to win his point.
I've heard Johnny called conceited,
"to dem independent, and such. At
no time has anybody called him an
uncle tom or clown.
So Johnny has his good points, after
all.

Robson At Rutgers

But there have been many other col
ored Americans on the court. Paul
Robson, Rutgers College, N. j., foul
letter athlete, played a good Rutgers
center during 1917 thru 1919; Larry
Bleach of U. Detroit, and Bill Coward
of Brooklyn College were sensations
around '37 and '38 while Bo Johnson
has practically carried the whole AL
fred, N. Y. team.
Basketb all Of course originated in
the East, at Sringfeld, in 1891, and I
believe you'll find the East way ahead
in sepia basketball players. At least
no section can match the trio of George
Gregory, Sidat Singh, and Dolly King
There are many others we haven't men

B. U. Varsity Hockey
PrevieW
By MURRAY KRAMER

Hockey, Boston nlverslty's outstand-
ing sport over the years from a stand
point of victories, is scheduled for an
off year. Lack of a strong second line
and reserve defensemen will exact its
toll any time the Scarlet and White
puck chasers face major opposition.
Good First Line
sgd Borofsky, Boston University's
freshman hocky coach who has taken
over the varsity this winter while DR..
Wayland F. Vaughan, veteran ice men
tor, is away on a years leave of alb
sence for his health, has been working
overtime trying to develop a capable
second line. AS yet, his efforts have
not been too fruitful.
The first line of Captain Paul Brown,
John Chambers and Bud Hines ranks
with any of the collegiate lines in New
England hockey. Bill Shoemaker and
Ed Farrell on defense still need season
ing, but have been coming along so
rapidly that they should develop into
a capable team before the season is
very much older. Little Henry Sulli-
van in the nets is an outstanding goalie
and is in line for All-New England
honOrs this winter.
Beat Harvard
In their four games before Christ
mas vacation, the Terriers won two
and lost two. They defeated Nit,
6 to l, and whipped Harvard, 7 to 8.
They suffered two bad losses, though,
in the hands of Yale and Princeton,
losing to the former II to 0, and the
latter to l.
The Terriers will win their share of
hockey games this year, but their
changes of beating Boston College, the
defending champions in the New Eng
land Intercollegiate Hockey League,
are exceedingly slim.

clumb thru the Madison Square Garden
ropes next Friday night, barring of
course last minute postponements.
Frank "Fritzi" Zivic, a younger but
not under-rated Welter-weight champ
ion will set himself to punch the former
champion right out of the ring. For
Zivic can box and Zivic can punch.
If anybody is on the "hot seat, it
is the Champion because the Challenger
has nothing to lose. Moreover, Arm
strong is a frightening challenger on
the order of Tony Canzoneri, and "Toy
Bulldog, Mickey Walker. Armstrong
is in a revengeful mood and fists are
going to fly when he meets Mr.. Zivic.
The fight next week is one of those
"naturals" in which the Champion will
have to battle all the way. The crowd
will go heywire on this one!

new YORK YANK EES
SECUTED
JOHNNY TAYLOR

New York Yankee baseball scouts
once came near signing pitcher Johnny
Taylor, the famous Hartford right
handler.
Famed $50 Men
Taylor was schoolboy sensation for
the Hartford Independents and rang
up a two season record of $50 strike
outs, 55 games won, and losses.
Immediately Connie Mack sent a
Philadelphia Athletic scout, and the
N. Y. Yankees sent scout Gene Nc
Cam. Both were embarrassed to find
Taylor colored. Mccain signed up a
lesser light, a southpaw, and left.
Now 'em Down
Johnny Taylor went right on pitch
ing. He shut out the Brooklyn Royal
Giants with two hits, striking out II
batters.
House of David was moved down
with three hits as Taylor breezed the
ball by 16 Bearded Men.
Danny McClellan's Philadelphia
Giants were next and Taylor pitched
a perfect no run game, tanning Is men.
Oh, this Johnny Taylor really threw
that ball!
Alexander Pompez, the man behind
the famous Cuban Stars, figured that
Taylor was better than Satchel Paige
and would do lot of good (for the
Cubans) in the sepia National League.
The Cubans signed up Taylor about
six years ago, when Johnny was only
10 years old Taylor stood six feet,
and weighed ITO.

Lou" Yes the enthusiastic gather
lngs at those games were wont to crying
the name of the one player on the
squad whom they thought was an intri-
cate part of the teams victory. And
after each resembling request Lou most
always gave the large crowds the thrills
they sought from the encounter.
But how soon we forget! For the
same voices that would have rather seen
him play than perhaps any other player
on the team were much too quiet after
their college adopted a new athletic
policy f.. one which is based on COM
i7lercialism and has no place for real
craftsmanship. After the adoption of
this policy and some of the teams of
Dixie were scheduled Lou was forced
to take up a new role as a member of
the squad.
LOU DENIED PROMINENCE
For when the teams of Dixie were
engaged they made it known that they
didn't intend playing against the "col-
ored boy" 1t was more or less a new
problem for the athletic heads of the
college. But more than that it was a
new thought for the entire team. Here
were teams that were telling them as
much as che may be good enough to
play with you but not with u.s." Lou
could have done as others have before
him and resigned rather than be the
object of his teammates comment. But
no! he stayed a member of the squad
even though it meant on some Satur-
days real embarrassment. When he was
"benched" because of the intolerable
thoughts of another section he was
always found on the sideline cheering
louder than any other individual for a
BIC. victory. As the players left the
game he was always there to greet them
with a pat on the back and "a nice
game" And by so doing by not
giving up when it seemed the easiest
thing to do, Lou Montgomery won the
admiration and respect of all his team
mates. He showed them the way how
to win against seemingly unconquer-
able odds. He showed them, first hand,
an unconquerable spirit.
Yes . with the conclusion of the
Sugar Bowl game many of the Boston
College players saw their last sixty
minutes of football write one of the
greatest success stories of any team to
be found around. They saw how hard
and unfair life can really be as one of
their members was denied the oppor-
tunity to play because of the pigmenta-
ton of his skin. But most of all they
saw how you have to fight unselfshly
and at times all alone, as was the case
of Lou.
When all the cheering is done and
our minds return to normally once
again wonder if then we won't cheer
Lou to an even higher pitch for the
gallant player he has been. Surely his
teammates are thinking of Just that if
they haven't already. For Lou has
shown them all through the past year
how to get up off your back and wage
winning fight and surely in doing SC
he must have been a great inspiration
to a great bunch of athletes.

BY GEORGE R. SKELLY
THE STORY OF THE WEEK
Boston College Feted
Montgomery Unsung Hero

In many sections of this sports-lov-
ing country of our football has long
since passed into the realm of Just
memories there to stay until we
once again, when in the grip of an
other great thrilling season, summon it
to aid our recollections and be basis
for our judgment. Perhaps that's ex-
actly where it belongs for we are in
another season and instead of resur-
recting the season passed perhaps we
should be talking about that great
basketball victory scored by the Va.
Union team over the strong Brooklyn
College quintet. Or, perhaps we should
be discussing Henry Armstrong; pos
sibilities of recovering his welter-
weight crown.
But these things, great and out
standing as they are, fade into a Sec
ond rate enthusiasm in face of the cur
rent sport talk around town the
conquering Boston College Eagles On
every side, since that Sugar Bowl vic
tory, words of praise and optimism
have been flowing quite generously as
anything in its past in the way of re-
ceiving a victorious team, So large
was the crowd that waited at South
Station to greet the players as they
made their triumphant return home
that all outbound traffic was at stand
still. The walls of that terminus fairly
bulged as that tremendous gathering
sought chance to voice its heartiest
congratulations to a team that so ade-
quately asserted its claim on the Ma
tional Sporting mind to be hailed

1t were. Yes q. after an undefeated
season crowned by an outstanding vic
tory over a highly touted team, the
Eagles have come to the pinnacle of
football achievement and recognition
and are now being hailed for their
greatness.
It's needless to say how elated even
the most passive football fan is over
such an accomplishment. Sectional
pride brings that gladness out regard
less of our thoughts of fairness to all
or any other grievance we might have
acquired during the regular scheduled
season. Their victory on New Years
