reflected recognition Of the oppor-
tunities in Negro housing, one
northern city reported, at is our
feeling that the Negro real estate
brokers' association here should
handle the situation" and a west
coast board suggested that Realtors
handle Negro housing through a
branch office stated by Negroes.
Many called attention to the need
for revision of building codes if
sufficiently low-cost structures are
to be produced within the cities
themselves.
Among individual Realtor OBJ
servations were: .
Detroit: believe it would be
wise to recommend to the priorities
board at Washington that in grant
ing a builder priorities in cities
where Negro housing is needed, he
must agree to construct at least ten
per cent for use of Negroes. Even
20 to % per cent might be neces-
sary until we caught up with fur
nishing homes for the Negroes.
"Next, we should urge Realtors
and builders in those communities
to do everything in their power to
allocate suitable areas for colored
occupancy. No matter where you
decide to locate such an area some
body is going to be hurt because
we have 100000 Negroes in our
country, many of whom are anxious
and willing to secure property of
their own"
Chicago: "So-called Negro abuse
of property is a result of giving
poor or modest Negro families ire
mendously old gingerbread homes
or apartments and expecting them
to make successful modern homes
out of them"
Reading, Pa: "Only about one
Or two per cent of the average
brokers' listings can be sold to
Negro buyers. Negro families if
investigated in the same way as
white families will be found good
mortgage risks. They have been,
in all cases of our experience, de-
pendable and regular in their
monthly PAYMENTS"

This week we again offer our
CONGRATULATIONS to those young
high school graduates. This time
it is Glenn Pullens of South High,
Teddy Vaughn of the same school
and Earl Bowman of Central High.
These young men have reached the
pinnacle of their young football
careers by being selected members
of the all-city high school confer
ence of Minneapolis, quite an
honor and an honor that should
make our people proud of their
boys.
Of these boys, Pullens was the
only one to place on the first eleven,
getting his favorite halfback spot.
His running mate, Vaughn, was
chosen for the fullback spot on the
second team. Bowman likewise
was chosen on the second team .
when we write and speak of these
young boys the thought runs
through our mind as to what the
future holds for them as far as
their gridiron careers are con-
cerned.
A few years ago it seems as
though Minnesota had certain play
ers whom we wrote much of. Gone
are such sterling players as Dwight
Reed, Horace Bell, Ellsworth Har-
pole. . Yes and before that good
old Bobby Marshall and don't for
get a fellow by the name of Bill
O'Shields which all leaves US just
one thing to say: if you are going
to college why not Minnesota?
Great things will happen in St.
Paul's Central stadium Sunday,
Nov. 10. That annual football game
between Halle @. Brown and Phyl-
lis Wheatley will be played at 8
p. m. This will mark the 10th an

tories. This year, the dope is that

Two-thirds of the cities answered
Eyes" to the question: "Do you
think there is good opportunity for
Realtors in the Negro housing field
in your city,"
On Pay
To a double-barreled question,
SIS the Negro good pay as tenant
or are more frequent collections
necessary and losses greater?" six
cities said the Negro tenant is
good pay" seven said mo" and
two reported conflicting expert
ences.
A wealth of individual comment
and qualifying information accom-
panied the answers. Some cities
reported payment by Negro home
buyers as "better than whites of
the same economic status" One
declared, Their tenacity and will
ingness to sacrifice to hold onto
their homes far exceeds the
whites" Another disagreed, stat
ing, "Good, in slightly less proper
ton than for whites" Other quail
fications were Good, if you select
your risk carefully" or eff you
choose your buyer from the upper
income group"
Keep Up Homes
A majority of cities commented
that Negroes maintain neatness
and repairs on new property as
we'll as whites but underscored that
relatively few properties in good
condition are sold to Negroes.
The cities who think the Negro
good pay as a tenant commented
good, if not better than whites of
the same economic level" or mo
different from other groups"
While the Negro tenant who OBJ
tains property in good condition
in many cases takes better care of
it than other tenants of his eco
nomic group, according to the gen.
eral testimony, the greater over
crowding of Negroes makes for
greater abuse from over-use.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2s.-A two
man battle between Sammy Byrd
and Harold McSpaden will unfold
today when they play their final 10
holes in the New Orleans 5000 War
Bond golf tournament.
McSpaden, who led the field until
yesterday, faltered on the third
round with 1-under-par II, while
Byrd cashed in with 3-under-par
50, tallying eight brides to Nc
Spaden's two.
Byrd, the former Yankee out
fielder, plugged away with consistent
shooting and came up with a 36-33
SO that garnered him 212 for the
54 holes and put him on top by two
strokes over the former pace
setter, McSpaden, who scored 81
1913, totaling 214.
Byron Nelson shot the second best
third-round score Of II, which was
matched by Claude Harmon. Nelson
moved ahead OF Chick Harbert, who
came up with rs, taking IS on the
ninth and 18th holes and dropping
back to fourth place.
Winging out in front by substan-
tial margins, Byrd and McSpaden
have developed the tournament into
q two-man contest for the last day.
Both have survived the tricky, wind
swept course much better than their
rivals In the first three rounds. Yes
terday's wind, however, was not as
bad as Saturdays, but it served to
hold down the scores on the lengthy
No. l. City Park course. -

Star|ess Boxing Card
Al Turner'S Potent
With Excitement

Although admitting that the box
ers on tonight's card for Turner'S
Arena aren't champions or near
champions, Matchmaker Gabe Men
endez is promising some close
matches and a lot OF fighting in
the four 8-round bouts on the all
star card.
Two Of them are return engage
ments Of what were hot fights. The
big attraction is that return affair
between Tommy Mollis and Bee Bee
Washington. Mollis is the cagy vet
eran Of more years and fights than
he likes to recall, but since return
Ing to the game he has won six
matches here and earned himself a
following of strangely sentimental
fight fans.
The strong young Bee Bee was
supposed to have a pushover in
MolliS when they faced several weeks
ago, but the best Bee Bee could do
was get one vote while Mollis was
getting two. It was a good tight
fight, however, and worth booking
again. Bee Bee figures the extra
two rounds for which tonight's bat
tie is booked may aid him, but
Mollis can be just as smart for
eight rounds as he was for six.
The other return match is be.
tween Bobby Brown and Okie Greer,
Greer once defeated Brown, who
since has knocked out Al Cortez and
Jimmy Hill.
Completing the program is the
heavyweight engagement between
Billy Duncan and Jimmy Bell and
feather go between Johnny Cock
Held and Harry Diduck. Match
maker Menendez considers matching
DSnny Petro with the winner.
