Pro Football

There are now l48 National league

Each year the pros draft some 200

Steve Owen of the Giants puts it,
while we've all lost good men and
key men, well have enough left to
carry the game along until more

a closer race-a better race.

THERE are now thousands Of col
= lege football players, not over
looking l48 National leaguers. on ac-
tive service in the army. navy and
marines. This is an underestimate.
And there are many more on their
way.
In the face OF this we have been
asked far and wide what will be-
come Of football this next fall.
AS far as one can offer a guess
on June date. football will keep
under steam with the men that are
left. This goes for both the col
leges and the pros. It has been the
wish Of both army and navy that
football be carried on. even with an
increased number Of players. Army
and navy teams will be at full speed.
Above all other games. this is a
football nation. am referring to
high school, college and professional
players, plus the many millions who
make up the camp followers. So
you can figure it out that football
will be the last game to go, if it
goes at all. Which it won't.
Typ cal Case
In the matter Of college play we
can take Minnesota as a typical
case along the upper plateau.
In this connection, George Barton,
the sage of Gopher football. writes,
II am afraid Minnesota's national
championship days are over for the
duration, but the Gopher will do
pretty well in Big Ten competition.

ing the question, do governments
derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed? Father
Furfey said the ordinary man is
puzzled to learn that the Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution
does not mean what it says be-
cause a vast majority Of Negroes
are denied the right to vote. Are
all men created equal at least in
a limited social and political
sense? he asked. well, then, why
do we force the Negro into an un-
der-privileged position, denying
him equal economic opportunity,
and equal justice under the law?"
Father Furfey said that Ameri-
cans really loved democracy, and
pointed out that this love ex-
pressed itself in self-sscrifice to
the point of extreme herOism. He
then explained the inconsistency
between the love Americans held
for democracy and their treatment
of Negroes. ut is almost certainly
true that the reason Americans
deny the benefits of democracy to
the Negro is that they do not
think. Once the average Ameri-
can clearly realizes that democracy
envOlves, by sheer logical neces-
sity, a different attitude towards
our COlOred population, he is gen.
orally fair-minded enough to be
ready to accept the change"
Father Furfey said.
And so another powerful, and
outstanding clergyman enters the
gate to assist our Colored folks in
their steady march to the freedom
that this great country of ours
makes it mandatory that they shall
receive. We must not forget, that
while our Colored boys and men
are in the front battle lines (if
they will permit them to get there)
that our Colored women and the
Colored sweethearts of the men in
service, will demonstrate to Satan
Hitler and his few friends, that
they are doing their part. This
was written by a white man who
hopes his Colored friends in the
Twin Cities and at large will find
this meeting their approval.

A WHITE MANS
CONTRIBUTION

Editor: While we had publicity
given to the Negro race in Presi-
dent Lincoln's time yet it cannot
be compared to that of today. Our
Minnesota Negroes found our gov
ernor some time ago refusing to
abide by clean American tactics
as similar to that of the 18th
Amendment, and refused our Min
nesota Negroes the privilege of de-
Tending their White Brothers
homes, through a place in our
Home Defense Force. This was as
suaged somewhat by Charles Horn,
who placed a number of the
"Colored Boys" as guards at the
Federal Cartridge Plant. Our Col
ored men as well are coming out
four-square in their efforts to re-
move the greatet curse of all time,
Satan Hitler, and that with the
knowledge that it will take some
thing above ordinary valor, to have
a subordinate officers stripe placed
upon his uniform, that he is so
proud to wear.
1t is with a great deal of
pleasure that l have had the OPP
portunity to note the following ad-
dress, as was given by Reverend
Paul Hanley Furfey, a professor
at the Catholic University of
America, and whose address was
carried in the New York Herald
Tribune (Dec. 29). The address
emphasized that democracy was a
word few Americans really under
stood.
Father Furfey said: Most peO-
pie would agree that it meant the
political and social system implied
by the Declaration of indie
pendence and the Constitution of
the United States. Bearing this
in mind" he said, 'flet us consider
the plight of the Negro in the
United States. OF hand find it

represents a more complete antith-
eeis to democratic ideals" Ask

One of the finest customs of
