faraway and long ago.
The game has given us only one
Stagg-only nj Warner-only one
Zuppke-and only n Yost. They
painted the scene with a flaming,
haring smear of vivid color that
no n else-barring only the ia
nous Knute Rockne-has ever ap-
preached.
1t was in 1895 that a big. shaggy
haired, gawky backwoods teacher
from Fairview saw and played in
his first football game. Hurry-up
Yost had arrived.
Ycst was SO keen about football
from the start that no one univer-
sity could offer him enough compe-
tition. So in 1895 he played with
West Virginia, Lafayette and the
Allegheny Athletic club. Brink
Theme Of Yale was one Of the
Lafayette coaches when Yost was
starring on a team that beat one
of Pennsylvania star elevens by
6 to 4.
"Yost wanted to play football all
day long" Brink once told me And
talk it all night, he might have
added.

Ukiah team. Five teams-that's
what you might call putting in a
full season.
Most of his teams had victorious
sweeps, but it was not until 1901
when his famous battle cry OF
"Hurry-up-Hurry-up" arrived at
Michigan that Yost came to instant
fame.
Il still believe those Michigan
teams from 1901 through 1905 were
the greatest five consecutive foot
ball teams any university ever
moved into destructive action. Play
ing through heavy schedules they
won SIS games, tied one and lost
one while scoring around 5000
points.
Yost coached Michigan for Is
years before he took over the direc-
torship of athletes. In those Is
years his teams won 1859 games and
lost but 10. They won or tied for
the Big Ten title eight times. and
during II of those Is years the
Maize and Blue was not in the con-
ference.
What an all-time Michigan team
Yost could have put into the field
from the men he Goa ched. He turned
out l6 All-American nominations
through 1926.
In addition to all this, Yost directed
the construction of six athletic
buildings, including the Michigan
Stadium that seats some 81, 900
people.
4 Football Life
For over 40 years football has
been Yost's life. He has eaten it,
dreamed it. talked it and lived it.
The last time / saw him we had
lunch together at n o'clock. AT
three o'clock the next morning he
was still showing me what made a
good punter, and how to block. At
the finish l "a a battered and a
beaten wreck.
You have to be in ideal condition
to talk with Yost. He hammers
your chest with the powerful, stub.

delegates calling on both industry
and labor to discontinue discrimi-
nation against Negro workers and
support President Roosevelt's or
der against no discrimination in
defense industry.
The resolution was introduced by
Hotel and Restaurant Union 665
and was as follows:
Whereas, The labor movement
has always viewed with growing
adherence the discriminatory
practices of tyrant governments,
and Whereas, American industries
and labor are not entirely free in
similar practices in depriving many
fine citizens of the right to work in
national defense because of their
race, and Whereas, This practice is
not only un-American; it also de-
prives industry of much needed
skilled and unskilled labor.
Therefore Be It Resolved: That
the State Federation of Labor en-
dorses the policy of President
Roosevelt against discrimination
of Negroes in the defense industry
and calls upon local unions to sup
port the Presidents policy.

White Lawyer
Challenges Lieut..
Lawrence Oxley
VERBAL TILT ENLIVENS
DEFENSE MEETING

More than six hundred persons
witnessed a heated controversy
when they attended citizens mass
meeting Sunday, October S, at
Phyllis Wheatley Settlement House
sponsored by the Minnesota Negro
Defense Committee. The princi-
pals in the verbal battle were Jonas
Schwartz, white, and Lawrence A.
Oxley, Supervisor of Racial Rela-
lions Unit, U. S. Bureau of En-
ployment Security, Washington,
D. C.
Mr.. Oxley gave a summary of
the work of his department in the
fight for Negro jobs in the defense
program. He referred to the Pres
ident's Executive Order against
discrimination and the urgency of
Negro as training for jobs and
made an appeal that Negroes not
resent the many unpleasant obsta-
cles that may be thrown in their
path.
Attorney Schwartz, who is a lib
eral Jewish leader, was invited by
the chairman of the meeting to
make a few remarks. He criticized
the attitude Of the Negro govern
ment officials and stated that he,

Rev. Stewart to
Take Post in
Eastern City
HAS OFFER OF TWO POSTS,
UNDECIDED WHICH TO TAKE

Rev. Carlyle F. Stewart, minis
ter of St. Peter A. M. E. Church,
Minneapolis, pastor of various
Twin City churches for 16 years,
announced Sunday morning at the
close of his sermon last Sunday
morning that he had decided to &C
cept another charge in the East.
The popular pastor told the par
TALLY stunned church that Bishop
J. A. Gregg had offered him his
choice of two large churches. 1t
is understood that the presiding
bishop gave Rev. Stewart 4S hours
to decide.
1t is understood that both
churches have memberships in ex-
cess of 1900 members. One of the
churches is the leading church in
the Indiana conference at Indian
apolis. The other church is the A.
M. E. Church at Evanston, Ill.
Rev. Stewart left Tuesday for
East ST. Louis, ILL.,, where he
planned to confer with Bishop
Gregg.
The new pastor of St. Peter, I'M
known at press time, is expected to
occupy the st. Peter pulpit Sunday
morning.
Rev. Stewart, a comparatively
young man in years, is perhaps the
most highly respected pastor to
serve in this area for such long
period. He was much sought after
by white congregations as a speak
er. He was president of the Min
neapolis branch of the N. A. A. G..
p, member of the executive board
of the Minneapolis Church Fedora
ton, member of the Minneapolis
Urban League board, president of
the Associated Negro Credit I'm
ion, member of the Minnesota Ne
gro Defense Committee and one
of the most influential Negroes in
the Twin Cities.
Stewart has had many honors in
his years of work in Minneapolis.
At the recent Inauguration of
Mayor Marvin L. Kline he was one
of the invited speakers and made a
distinct hit with the crowd.
He will return to Minneapolis in
a few days to wind up his affairs
and conduct the annual election of
the N. A. A. C. P. branch.

realization on the part of Negro
workers of the Importance of work

duction," and draining Needs and
Employment Opportunities"
A conference findings commit
tee, headed by DR.. F. Stuart
Chaplin, University of Minnesota
Sociology department, will evalu-
ate the conference and decide what
steps will follow it.
"The Twin Cities Conference"
said Mr.. Oxley, "is a part of a
Nationwide effort to alleviate un-
employment and find workers with
skills needed in defense industries.
similar conferences have been
held in a number of States and
have led to the stimulation in gath
ering of factual information on
types of employment and the de-
gree to which Negroes are en-
ployed. This has an important
bearing on placement activities for
defense jobs" said Mr.. Oxley.
Mr.. Oxley further stated that his
chief detectives as director of the
Race Relations Unit of the Bureau
of EMPLOYMENT Security are the

stated that conferences of this type

Oxley, knew that very little would
be done because of the insincerity
of those controlling the set-up.
Schwartz further disagreed with
Oxley in his praise of the Ford Mo
tor Company's hiring Of Negroes
on a percentage basis according to
population. He said, 81 believe if
five jobs. are open and there are
five competent Negroes available
they should have the jobs irrespec-
tive of racial population.
He concluded his criticism by
stating if these Negro government
paid officials were sincere about
this breaking down discrimination,
they would resign from their jobs
in two weeks after they were en-
ployed or force a change of condi-
ton.
Mr.. Oxley apparently became
angry as ne interrupted Mr..
Schwartz and challenged him to a
debate, called him a demagogue,
and exclaimed, 81 know better
Jews than you'll"
The chairman severely criticized
Mr.. Oxley for interrupting the
speaker and defended the right of
Schwartz to state his opinion on
the speakers views.
The citizens were openly divided
on the question of who was right
in the heated controversy.
Despite all the fireworks the
crowd seemingly enjoyed the entire
meeting.

D. w. Oman & Sons
Continue to Hire
Qualified Negroes

D. w. Oman and Sons, Minneapo-
lis defense contract firm, is contin-
uing to carry out it's fair labor pol
icy by employing workers without
regard to race. At the outset of
the defense production this firm,
which already employed one Ne
gro, began to employ others as
their defense contracts warranted
an increase in their working force.
This company, which does not
begin to compare in size with other
local contract firms, now employs
10 Negroes. The most recent one
employed is Paul Mayes, 1916
Fourth Ave. So.
During an interview with an Of
fetal of the firm, Chas. w. Wash
ington, Local Urban League Sec
rotary, was told that Negroes
were being employed because addi-
tional workers were needed and the
company makes no distinction as
to race in it's employment policy.
He also stated that Negroes were
not being held down to the lowest
grade of employment.
A Negro supervises the work of
the maintenance service which is
made up of both white and Negro
workers. Another Negro is en-
ployed in the company's dyeing
room in a semi-skilled capacity.
