Tenn. State Will
Meet Tuskegee

BIRMINGHAM, Dec. IL (ANP)
= Tuskegee institute, runner-up
for the 1914 STAG title and Ten
nessee State of Nashville, winner
of the Midwest conference cham
pionship, have been invited to play
in the annual Vulcan bowl classic
here on New Years day.
Announcement of the selection
of the teams was made following
special meeting of the Vulcan
Bowl committee of which B. T.
Harvey of Atlanta, is chairman.
Florida A. and M. college, of
Tallahassee, winner of the 1914
STAG crown, declined the bid, pass
ing the honors of Tuskegee, which
accepted. Fiorida's skittishness
was believed traceable to the fact
that Tennessee State has already
beaten Florida twice this year, at
Tallahassee and Nashville.
Mr.. Harvey disclosed that Ten
nessee State authorities had al
ready committed themselves to be
favorable toward a Vulcan Bowl
bid.
Dean St. Elmo Brady of Fisk
university, STAG president; c.
Johnson Dunn of Alabama State
college, STAG secretary; and Mr.
Harvey of Morehouse College, At
lanta, represented the conference
in the committee meeting. Emery

White Editor Has
Change Of Heart

ATLANTA, Dec. IL (ANP)-
Declaring that as late as six months

McGill, editor of the Atlanta Con-
stitution, the South's most influ-
entail white daily, confessed to del
egates attending the sixth all
Southern Negro Youth congress
that he had had a Change of
heart" and now felt that the white
primary chad outlived it's useful
ness"
Mr.. McGill, whom Westbrook
Pegler recently called a 'jim crow
liberal' declared that it was his
considered opinion that the poll
tax should be eliminated by the
states, but if the states continued in
their failure to act, it was the duty
of the federal government to get rid
of the franchisement barrier.
Speaking in particular to the
youths, Editor McGill warned them
to understand first what it is you
want and why you want it; then
trim your lamps and set your
goals; for eventually people-all
people-will come to enjoy justice
and human dignity.
But for every privilege, there is
a corresponding responsibility" he
reminded his youthful hearers.
Though admitting he had ar
rived to the point where he be-
lieved color restrictions on the bal.
lot were wrong, Mr.. Gill said he
still felt that the right of the bal.
lot should be restricted to those able
to make use of it intelligently, 9

his hearers to mean that he was ir

Famous Service
Club Is Closed
By Tom Carrigg

SOMEWHERE IN THE so.
PACIFIC, Dec. IL (ANP)-With
the closing of the North American
Club in Townsville, late this year,
one of the most talked of clubs in
the Southwest Pacific area goes
down on record as having done
a swell job for many thousands of
troops who went there before 60
ing into the battle areas. The build
ing was small, located in an out-of-
-the-way spot, and from the out
side gave the appearance of a brok-
en- down warehouse, but once in
side the troops saw ''little Amer
ica." Food, service and helpers
were first class. Pete Tyson was
there in the early days but after he
left for New Guinea, George Rees,
an Aussie, took charge. George did
swell job but became i'll, just as
Jack Bond of North Carolina hit
the mainland. The American Red
Cross headquarters flew Jack up
and he swept the club beyond rec
ognition with a hefty broom.
Grace Outlaw, Chicago, and
Clara Wells, Texas, were assigned.
This trio, including Jack Bond, did
the best job any trio could do. The
attendance rose to thousands over
the weekend and thousands were
the little personal service jobs that
these three good Americans per-
formed for the boys. Sam Taylor,
a Texas football coach, took over
from Jack. When Clara and Grace
were transferred to New Guinea,
Ocey Smith, from New York, and
Mynna Hall, Ohio, stepped in and
remained with the club until the
last.
| Only two service clubs for col
ored personnel remain on the Aus
tralian mainland now, but both are
of the finest. The are the DR..
George w. Carver in Brisbane,
the Booker T. Washington in Sgd
ney, with Bill Dabney as its head.
