DEMOCRACY NOW

Why should Americans bubble over
giving the Negro immediate democ-
raey, when that act would spur him
to still greater efforts in winning the
war? In fact, that act would be the
first step toward winning the war.
But if Americans persist in ''preju-
dice as usual" then they probably will
lose the war, though they win every
battle. What would we gain by
PROMISING full democracy NOW?

Bivins Tock|ine Rugged Fighter
I 7onight in Underdoq Marshall

Cleveland's Jimmy Bivins, picked
by Joe Louis as best of the current
crop Of active heavyweights, shows
his wares here tonight at Griffith
Stadium in 10-round boxing match
against Herbert Marshall of New
York. Although barely out of the
light-heavyweight class, Bivins has
cleaned up most Of the other active
campaigners among the big boys
and rules a Al favorite or better
over Marshall.
Those odds appear a little one
sided because Marshall, too, has a
good record, topped by victory over
Gus Dorazio in Philadelphia. He's
appeared here three times recently,
chilling Tony Campanella and john
ny Napolinino and getting defeated
by Johnny Kapovich.
In weight, height and reach the
two almost are even. Bivins scales
180 to Marshall's 1T, and 1t really
could be anybody's fight Bivins is
more polished, although not par
ticularly fast. He doesn't throw
many wild punches nor does he take
too many chances, although he does
bore in all the time and does okay
in the infighting.
Marshall on the other hand Is apt
to throw everything into one punch
and If he connects with one of his
powerhouse swings 1t could spell
plenty of trouble for Bivins tonight.
Marshall, too, can take good
pounding and while there's some

Sammy 10 Start Play
As Soon as Pros
Take Offensive
BY DAVE HOFF,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


EVANSTON, Ill. Aug. 24.-Mr.
Samuel Baugh of Texas is present
and says he's ready for duty, but
the Washington Redskins aren't
counting too much on his effective
ness against the College All-Stars
tomorrow night.
Coach Dutch Bergman admitted
today that he couldn't depend too
much on his ace passer, although he
tried to soften his own feelings by
boasting about Baugh's two stand
ins, Leroy Zimmerman and Rookie
Frank Atkins, who will get the call
in that order when Baugh's lame
back forces him to retire to the
bench in Dyche Stadium.
Redskins Work Rushed.
Baugh presumably felt that rare
misery after catching cold in his
back muscles at the Redskins San
Diego training base lit apparently
can happen even in California;
There has been much ado about the
Baugh back, particularly since the
Redskins arrived at their Loyola
University base in Chicago. The ALL
Stars, incidentally, have been skep-
tical about the extent of Baueh's
lameness-they1l find out for sure
tomorrow.
Bergman's strategy plan now is
to have Baugh in there as soon IS
the Redskins are on the offensive
at the opening kickoff If the WASH
ingtons get to receive. They'll gun
hard for the points potentially
stored in Baugh's arm or for the
touchdowns that may come by run
ming should the All-Stars' defense
primed for Sammy's slings-go
awry.
We've been working this team
faster than We would normally" the
coach of the National Football
League champions declared. We've
got Is games to 60, too. This is
the Al-Stars' only one-they can
give it everything they've got, and
I understand they have plenty.
Reserves Not Up to Standard.
Our reserves are not up to the
standard Of the first team in ability,
although our offense is fairly we'll
balanced. 1t looks to me like the
outcome Of the game is largely a
question of reserves. Some OF our
boys may have to play so minutes.
I only hope it's a cool night"
The uncertainty over Baugh's ef-
fecitveness apparently can cast no
damper on the game, for q sellout
crowd OF $4,000 is assured. The ALL
Stars, baskins in the favorite's role,
have ended heavy drills and are
taking life easy.
