NEGRO SEAME

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. - An
editorial. clearly expressing disap-
prevail Of the severity Of the SEN
fences imposed on the so Negro
seamen charged with mutiny for
failure to load ammunition at the
Mare Island depot, last August 8,
appeared as follows in the Nov. 2
issue of the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle:
I'VE have been mulling this mat
ter over for several days. We have
been thinking about the real ma
ture Of fear. Fear is not a crime.
We can in some circumstances
have the effect of a crime and in
some grave circumstances must be
punished as a crime.
These Negroes who refused to
load the munitions ships following
the Port Chicago disaster were
plainly overcome by fear They
were not per sc mutineers except
20 the extent that their fear over
came whatever responsibility they
had. Considering then that fear
and failure to do a duty because
of it cannot be encouraged in war
time. we still believe that the sem
fences imposed on these men were
altogether too severe. We do not
believe that the honor of the
United States Navy as fighting
fearless force would have been inn
paired by sentences ranging from
one-half 10 one-third Of those
given"
Thoroughly convinced of the in
nocence OF these men. the NAACP
through its Special Counsel Thur
good Marshall. has requested OPP
portunity TO file brief for hearing
before Rear Admiral Carlton H.
Wright. c. O. Twelfth Naval Dis
trist Attorney Marshall will also
Ale brief and appear personally

CrisIer Warns
M Gridders Of
Tough Bottle
BY FRANK KENESSON

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 20
- lH) - Describing Purdue's
powerful football team .as "one
of the best balanced clubs I've
seem" Coach H. O. Fritz Girls
Ter today warned his Michigan
Wolverines that they must play
their best brand of ball Saturday
If they are to halt the Boiler
makers march toward a second
straight undefeated season in the
Big Ten.
1--WE will have 10 turn in our
best game of the season TO wiz"
Crisler declared as he sent the
Wolverines through their last
hard SCrlmmage session of the
week, a workout designed to
tune up the Michigan attack
after three days of defensive
tactics.
CIR er, who personally
secuted Purdue last week as the
Boilermakcrs hammered Iowa,
26 to 7, reported that Purdue
was team Of few, if any, weak
neSSes.
Their halfbacks, Chalmers
Elliott and Boris Dimancheff,
can really run; their fullbacks,
especially Ed Cody, have worlds
Of drive; their passing attack is
better than average; their line
is big and fast, and their No. !
punter, end Frank Bauman, can
kick 'em a mile" Crisler said.
SEASONED LINEUP
Purdue, in its first season un-
der the coaching wing of Cecil
lSbell will present a thoroughly
seasoned starting lineup loaded
with seven holdover lettermen
and a trio Of civilian transfers
who had grid experience at
Other SCHOOLS.
Cody, who has averaged better
than five yards a carry in reel
ing off Ala yards against five
opponents, had previous ex-
perience at Boston College,
Tackle Ken Glacsner saw service
at Miami (Fla) L. and end
John Morton played at Missouri.
Michigan, outweighed in the
line for the sixth time in as
many starts, must give away APP
prOXlmatcIy 6I2 pounds a man
TO a Purdue wall that averages
1919 pounds.
Purdue, winner of three Of its
five starts so far, has piled up
an average Of four tOuchdoWnS
a game while beating Marquette,
Illinois and Iowa and losing to
Great Lakes and Iowa Sea-
h W k s. The BOilermakerS
haven't lost to a collegiate rival
since the 1912 season.
A crowd in the vicinity of
5000 was in prospect for the
collision Of the two teams that
tied in 1913 for the Big Ten
championship and haven't met
previously on the gridiron since
1880, when Michigan eked out
a Ia to 13 triumph.
