Michigan at Illinois. Wisconsin at
Northwestern, Chicago at Purdue
Ohio State at Indiana and MinneA
sofa at Iowa.
Indiana, having shared the con.
ference crown three times without
capturing 1t outright, definitely must
be counted in this season. But be-
cause Of the caliber Of play in pre-
conference contests, the 1943 cham
pionship may be split up with a
good possibility of slices going to
the Hoosiers, Illinois and Wisconsin
after a season Of dizzy upsets.
A hint Of what is to come already
has been given. Camp Grant was
the only team to beat Illinois in six
starts, and Northwestern came in
for another surprise by winning its
first game OF the season from none
other than the star-spangled Great
Lakes outfit.
Aside from being one Of three un-
beaten Big Ten clubs, Indiana has
the top scoring attack with a 54.6
average in six straight victories.
Undefeated Minnesota and Michi-
gan have averaged 40 and 42.5, re-
spectively, in four games, but hold a
slight defensive edge over the
Merry Macs" The Wolverines,
buoyed by Capt. Jim Mandler and
Sophomore Bob Wiese, have
shackled opposition to 1927 points
per game-the lowest mark in the
conference.
Wisconsin, powered by Johnny
Kotz and his 16.S-point average in
six games-slightly higher than his
average last season when he set q
conference scoring records the
third best offensive outfit, with 49.6.

limitations than have been in effect
this last year?
Considering Of shortage of ammu-
nition-there have been no shotgun
shells manufactured since last May
1-well stick our neck out and say
the 1943 hunting season will fall
far short of the present season for
the reason that only a few gunners
will have shells. High-velocity loads
for waterfowl have been at a pre-
MUM throughout the current shoot
ing period. Lighter loads in upland
game sizes are getting more difn-
cult to pick up. Rifle ammunition
is In the hands Of those who stocked
up ahead. All Of which seems def
nitely to mean q sharp decrease in
hunting next year.
Tackle II Sufficient.
So far as fishing goes, the lack
OF tackle as yet is no handicap,
Given transportation we'll be able
to get fishing Of one sort or another.
Last summer the lack Of charter
boatmen held the number of Chesa-
peake fishermen down to a point
below that of any year in q decade.
There will be fewer boatmen next
summer, because many of the old
sters are going into war production
now. 1t might be that because
charter boatmen contribute little to
the food supply their quantity of
gasoline viii be restricted. If that
does come there will be like re-
1strictions upon those who own their
own boats, and those who can get
to fishing water viii find dunking q

Fish and Wildlife Service each year
runs up to several hundred thou
sand.
The results of these banding
operations mean better shooting be-
cause better administration is pos
sible through greater knowledge Of
their flights and habits. It is i'm
portant that all bands be returned.
Answers Quail Question.
+. The Virginia operation apparently
has answered a moot question Of
many years standing-that it is not
necessary to shoot up" covey Of
quail in order to break 1t up so the
birds will pair to breed properly.
Then there Is that game count
required in Maryland. II you shot
in the Free State this season there
was a tab on your license to be filled
out and returned at the end Of the
season.
Last year, the first wherein such .
count was made there was only .
II per cent return. Nothing was
done about the failure of the 20 per
cent to turn in their report. But
there is a penalty attached that will
be invoked against those failing to
make a return this year.
Some might believe their nom
conformance will not be noted, nor
their count needed, II, for instance,
they failed to kill any game, but
that Is not SO. Failure to return the
stub this year might mean the with
holding Of license next season.
Better report at once-and honestly.

ACROSS THE YEARS

Last week State Senator Charles c. Diggs was
honored in formal ceremony by the members of
the Michigan Federated Democratic club. Serving
his fourth term in the upper house at Lansing, our
friend Charles Diggs has become something of an
institution in the civic and political life of Detroit
and Michigan. For over two decades he has been an
active and unsefish participant in almost every
progressive civic movement in Detroit and he has
never hesitated to pioneer where others feared to
tread
No pioneer can 60 through the wilderness I'M
scathed and in this Senator Diggs is no exception
The cumulative good of his incessant activity on
behalf Of his own people and of all those who have
been vctimized by the inequites in our society has,
however, won him both respect and love from all
groups in Michigan. We are proud to call him
friend and we wish to acknowledge our debt to his
hard-earned wisdom which has been an inspiration
to all of us.
The challenges of the present when old prob
lens are taking new shapes under the stresses of
a warning world find the state senator battling
away to establish little more securely the demo-
cratic ideals here at home W hich MS and our
sons are fighting to protect abroad. He is daunt-
less champion for the rights Of the common man,
and he believes that destiny is in our own hands, He
has been gallant soldier on many battlefronts and
like veteran he has no fear of the future.

JOIN THE RALLY

Next Sunday April H. war workers and friends
of democracy will stage great demonstration IN
Cadillac Square under the leadership Of the Labor
Committee of the N.A.ACP The rally will be pre-
ceded by an impressive parade in which all Negroes
of the community are being asked to participate
Some have asked what does the Labor Committee
hope to achieve by this mammoth demonstration
The time has come when we must let the world
know of the grievances which are threatening the
morale of our group and the barriers which are
ieopardizing the best interests of the nation We
must expose the fascist hand of the Negro-haters
who are straining their energies in desperate
effort to check Negro advancement, who are de-
termined that democracy must function for whites
only.
In this arsenal of democracy, the Negro worker
is being forced to fight in order to make his con-
tribution to the war effort. Our women are jobess
while production is menaced by a shortage Of labor.
These facts must be broadcast in order that we
might win the support of all citizens who believe
that the preservation of democracy and the safety
of this nation is vastly more important than the
perpetuation of prejudices against our group. You
can help by joining in this important rally

After reading Adam Clayton
Powell's imprisoned attack in
Peoples Voice on Rackham Hollis
biography Of George Washington
Carver Doubleday. Doran and Co.,
New York City. $500 I was pre-
pared for anything when ! read the
book. Rev. Powell bases lis attack
on Mrs. Hollis use Of the word
Niger" and does not take the time
to point out tina. each time the word
is used II is q quotation. direct or
indirect, and not Mrs. Hollis own
designation. In one instance Mrs.
Holt quotes the principal OF High
land university in Missouri refusing
young Carver admittance with these
words: I'VE don't take niggers here"
Further on In the book In the
discussion of the founding Of Tus-
kegee. Mrs. Holt quotes one OF TIE
opponents of the school as saying:
Where are we going to find SER
wants. if the niggers are educated?'
These examples are typical and
certainly do not warrant Rev.
Powell's statements: 1--WE defy her
to justify this offense and pledge
ourselves to demand redress .
He loved his and all people and
never in his lifetime stopped to
such epithets tten why should
she - in what so far Is the most
monumental tale of his life, bias
pheme his simple greatness in such a
shameful way" Such an attack is u1-
justified and even cursory read
ing OF the book would reveal Mrs.
Hollis sympathetic approach to her
subject and the remarkable way
in which she has projected his
character on the pages OF her book.
Rev. Powell admits 10 the ex-
cellence of the book but concludes
his criticism with this emotional
gem:
"You did a good job, Mrs. Holt
then hurled II onto flaming pyre
and destroyed IT," We are as much
opposed TO the use OF the word

Holt does use II, the word here only
shows what the obstacles in the
path OF this genius were and how
often because he was a Negro, ~
was forced 10 endure this and other
abuses.
Mrs. Holt spent much time with
DR.. Carver collecting material FOL
her book and the result is book
which will not be quickly super
