A Leading Colored
Virginian Speaks to
St. MIX. Brotherhood
By MONROE MASON

Clearing houses to set a tempo for
national defense must be organized by
colored leaders in all communities in
America. Such a warning was issued
last Sunday at St. Mark Brotherhood
by William M. Cooper Of Hampton In
stitute. He arrived in Boston to start
a lecture tour in northern cities on
salary equalization of school teachers
in the south and explain phases Of ma
tional defense pertaining to manpower
of colored selectees in the Army and
Navy. The speaker was introduced to
the Brotherhood as one Of the ten de-
signated colored citizens of Virginia,
honored by the present governor of the
Old Dominion state. In his address he
cited the successful court opinions rem
dered by the high courts for salary
equalization payments to teachers of
his state. He also claimed that pending
cases would terminate favorably in
other localities. Mr.. Cooper's main OBJ
jective was for publicity, rather than
direct aid. "a vicious circle was warp
ing the gains already made. To stife
these underground methods Of coer-
cion among those affected, nationwide

G0URDIN FIELD
OFFICER IN new
372ND Regiment

Massachusetts will have a Regimen
tai sal company major in the new
273nd Rifle Infantry Regiment, it was
revealed this week.
Edward 0. Gourdin, acting Major of
the Massachusetts 372nd Third Bat
talon, in the absence of Major Davis,
will, according to good authority, be
attached to the Regimental Head
quarters, or Regimental officers staff,
which is not to be confused with a
battalion post, but actually takes in
the entire 372nd Regiment.
Gourdin becomes the first Massa-
chusetts 372nd Regimental field officer
and there are reports that others will
follow.
U. S. Attorney
Gourdin was graduated from Har-
ward IN 1921 and three years later from
the Harvard Law School. He is now
an assistant United States Attorney
ana is considered among the successful
college men of achievement in the
country. Even in college he was
famous. Then known by sports fans
as Ned, a name which still follows
nm, Gourdin became the first athlete
to broadjump rs feet, which he did at
the OXford-Cambridge (England) In
ternational meet with Harvard and
Yale in July of 1921. A brilliant track
athlete, he is known as one of Har-
wards greatest.
Fifteen years ago, Gourdin enlisted

DUGGER EQUALS
WORLD RECORD
STARTER BEATS GIL WALKER
By Mabe KOuntze

Gil Walker, chunky lightning
legged B. G. sophomore, should have
won the 1911 Knights of Columbus
Prout 5O-yard dash.
But both Walker and Eddie Digger,
the two winners of the trials and semi
finals appeared stunned when Frank
Zeimetz, B. C. grad and a veteran
knowing all the tricks, seemingly
jumped the gun and stole the race.
Amid boohs!
Locals Popular
Digger, Tufts Engineer School stu
dent and indoor track captain, really
put in busy night. Eddie competed
no less than seven times, twice equalled
the worlds record in the 45-yard high
hurdles, and won the final in 81 sec
onds, skimming over the barriers in
true championship form.
Walker, a former Everett H. S. star,
and Digger, hailing from across the
way in Medford, were two top favor
ties of the 10000 fans assembled who,
for change, gave local lights much
of the applause that has been usually
reserved for the highly publicized out
OI-SJaCe celeDflCleS.
Jimmy Herbert Last
AS a mater of fact, the out-of-state
boys didn't do so well and localite
Eddie Digger was the only Colored
to land first.
The sad note of the evening was
provided by James B. Herbert who
finished last in the 600 yard run after
appearing i'll long before the race
began. Herbert appeared to be run
ming only on his nerve, nothing more.
Johnny Borican who has plenty of
nerve as well as talent, came mighty
close to winning the Bishop Cheverus
1000 yard run before being showed on
the home stretch corner. Johnny then
came home third and Disguised.

It was addressed to James Wallis Alamo
