Old LANDMARK RAZED AT
LINCOLN u. ONO.

"A necessary sacrifice to prog
lress was completed last week at
Lincoln University with the clear
Ing Of the area of the campus oc-
cupied for thirty-eight years BY
BarnestKrekel Hall, freshman wo-
mans dormitory, until last year,
when the modernistic Anthony
Hall was erected on the east cam
pus and the razing of the old DOR
m1tory was begun. The first sec
ton of Barnes-Kreke was erected
In 1899 additions were made in
1902. and alterations of one kind
Or another were introduced at var
ious times during its existence.
The first portion of the building
was the Oldest structure on Lin
coins campus. d
Barnes-Krekel had served many
diverse purposes during it's life
time. At one time girls were hous-
ed in one side Of the building and
young men in the other; the
schools cafeteria, classrooms and
the presidents home were also
housed there in those early days.
In 1910 the ~three-story brick and
stone building housed in addition
to 100 freshman girls-the unver-
sity hospital and the laboratory
high schools's Home Economies
department. The large recreation
room on the basement floor of
Barnes-Krekel was a favorite gar
thering place for Lincoln students
during their leisure time-scene Of
scores of the general socials and
Greek-letter dances that are such
an important part of social life.
The razing of Barnes Krekel is
part of a campus Improvement
program which is in its second
year. A recent $4,000 WPA pro
ject to Lincoln University is to be
used for completion Of this pro-
gram. Identification of the
twenty-acre campus Is to be effec-
ted by roadbuilding and repair,
and by landscaping. MI. G. Rob
ert Cotton, head Of the Unives
sity's Mechanic Arts department
will supervise the entire impro-
vement project Mr.. G. E. Dick
erson, another member of this de-
partment and a specialist in land
scape architecture, will direct the
landscaping activities.

writes William R. Kuhns, in Bank
ing, the butcher, baker. and CAN
dlestick maker, their sisters, cous
ms and aunts are beginning to dis
cover what a fine assortment Of
useful and unsupported items their
bank has for sale"
Many of US used to think of
banks as institutions which were
only interested in "big money''
operations and which had little to
offer the ordinary man. oTday, the
typical bank is actively seeking
accounts of all sizes-and it offers
as cordial a welcome to the legit-
innate borrower who needs a few
hundred dollars as it does to the
borrower who needs tens of thous-
ands. 1t finances the purchase of
automobiles and homes.
Today the banks are carrying on
still another big job-the sale of
defense loan securities. 1t is esti-
mated that more than $780, 0O, 900
worth Of these bonds and stamps
must be sold to the public each
week if the Treasury is to avoid
further inflationary sales Of gov
eminent securities to the banks.
Private banking is again proving
hat it is one Of the mainsprings
that keeps this country going.

One of his questions at lecture
was: Should you teach child to
scratch the ears with feather,
toothpick or the elbow?"
We all groped about for an an

with the elbow since such a feat
was obviously impossible. When he
told us the elbow was best, we still
sat there beWildered.
Secrnds later it occurred to us
that the ear should not be scratched
at all with an instrument or part

Zivic Proves
Master OF Mad,
Bad Ex-King

NEW YORK - CSNS) - over
22,OO0 crazed witnesses saw immor-
tai Henry "The Hammer" Arm
strong draw a one-way ticket to
fistic oblivion here tonight in Mad
ison Square Garden where Frltzle
Zivic, white Pittsburgh youngster,
dressed the little brown Negro up
in every fistic badge known to
the game except a full count kayo.
The thing which crazed the
crowd to dangerous eXtents was
the raw courage of fading Arm
strong, who, after being, battered
to blindness and bloody hideous-
ness by Zivic in the seventh, eighth
ninth and tenth heats, rOared back
in. the eleventh in the manner OF
the Armstrong of old to actually
win the round
1t was at this point when the
thousands were wondering what
kept the gallant little brown man
on his feet, that zivic found him
sell out-punched, out-rushed and
out-gamed by a staggering, des-
perate colored boy who will be re-
membered when Zivic and all other
present day gladiators save posi-
bly, Joe Louis are beyond memory.
Zivic rallied in the fading mo-
ments of the eleventh and turned
on the steam full blast in the
twelfth. His eyes and nose and
mouth lacerated by Zivic's short
punches, Armstrong could endure
little more and here Referee Arth-
ur Donovan stepped in TO end the
fight and award technical knock
out for Zivic who is still welter-
weight king.
A RECORD CROWD
zivic won the opening neat by
shade with clever boxing but
Armstrong surged forth to make
the second heat even in a savage
exchange The first full length bolt
of the scrap was tossed by Arm
strong in the third, a laundering
left hook that sent Aivic reeling
against the ropes. Here the antag-
oniSts went into another savage
session of exchanges.
zivic out-paced Armstrong in the
fourth and finished like a house
afire. Armstrong moved inside OF
Zivics thunder to even the fifth
after starting fast. Zivic's wonder
full work began showing in the
final minute of the sixth when
The Phoenix index., 1941-01-25

Armstrong went down for no count.
Although Armstrong slipped a bit
experts opined that one of zivic's
punches started the loss Of equilib-
rum for Henry.
Zivic boasted that he would kayo
Armstrong in the seventh and
poured a deadly volley of punches
into Armstrong; spattered features
closing both eyes and bathing the
face in a crimson flow. Armstrong
scarcely got a punch of rebuttal
but kept coming toward the Cham
pion. The eighth and ninth were
all zlvic and the crowd, sensing
the inevitable. steeled itself to the
blcod-red spectacle of flowing
blood and the weakening legs of a
former champion. The crowd eX-
pected the fight to be halted any
minute.
Armstrong put up dandy scrap
in the tenth but Zivic'S superior
scoring tilted it slightly ir favor
CI UlJe fCIlllSy iFolildil'
ARMSTRONG'S FINAL BID
Armstrong brought down the
house in the twelfth. Storming out
at the bell with the same fury that
all but levelled Cerfrino Garcia in
this same spot a bit more than two
years ago, he rushed Zivic off his
feet-took the offensive completely
and rained blow after blow on the
champions face.
More surprised than any OF the
guests, it took zivio exactly two
minutes ard twenty seconds to
solve the raging tornado that was
making a last stand. Armstrong
fought here on instinct and quits.
It was his salute to the most spec
tacular career the ring has ever
known in the lesser weights.
AS the crowd went screwy with
miSgivings for Zivic, The Pittsburgh
lad arrested the Armstrong attack
ard put in one of his own over the
last forty seconds. Armstrong
again went down momentarily but
Won the round.
Referee Donovan had been exam
lining Armstrong; battered eyes all
along since the seventh and when
Zivic, thoroughly infuriated' start
cd the twelfth with a merciless at
tack on the vanquished Armstrong,
called the bout to an end.
Thus Armstrong failed to win
back the title which Zivic wrested
from him last October and, if he
lives up to a promise, will never
fight again. In the post mortem
they will say of Armstrong, that
he never gave any fan a dull night
that dollar for dollar, he gave
more value for value received than
any champion of history.
