On the whole, this years football
season has not been marked by
any great upset. Pitt nearly pulled
one last week holding Ohio State
scoreless until the last period. How
ever on the whole the favorites
have come through each weekend
after the usually early season con-
fusion. Now that it has been in
print, Army will probably lose to
Navy and Alabama will be beaten
by Vanderbilt.
BY the way, just what has hap
pened to Vandy, formerly one OF
the strongest football schools in
the country. For the past few years,
the Nashville school has been at
the bottom of the heap. While the
war has hurt the Vandy gridders,
it hasn't helped any other team with
the exception Of Army and Navy.
Perhaps the real reason is that
scholastic standards at Vanderbilt
are too high for the low forehead
boys, needed to build good line.
South Cardinals star center,
Bryant Meeks is being boosted by
Gamecock fans for All-American
honors. Oother candidates for ALL
American from this region include
Wake Forests Nick Sacrinty and
the Wolfpack's Harold Turner, both
halfbacks.
Fans point out that Meeks runs
South Carolina on offense and de-
tense, played both Clemson and
Miami games without substitution,
and has spanked the South Carolina
team in all its games. Sacrinty has
one of the best passing averages in
the country, pitching .544 with SO
compilations out of SO attempts
Turner has been the heart Of the
Wolfpack's offense all season, dash
ing 105 yards for a score against
Duke last Saturday.

Break Up Army Cry On
The Way, Says Writer
BY WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, Nov. 49, @ -
Midweek hash:
We. can expect any day now tt
hear the cry: break up the Army
football team. It has been sug
gested that the only thing thai
can beat the cadets is their pres.
clippings, but we don't 60 along
with that. Those kids up at Yves
Point are too busy with their stu
dies to do much reading abou
themselves, and the rigid dis
cipline would trend to quiet any
ideas Of self-importance. Despite
the fear that in-bounds kickoff.
would bring an epidemic Of touch
downs on the returns, there have
been remarkably few such in
stances. We've seen only one out
of-bounds kickoff, and obvious &C
cident as, the ball s skidded from
the kicker's toe on a rainy, mud
dy day.
Inc swedish newspaper repor1
that the Swedish Athletic associa
ton has charged Gunder Haegs
and Arne Anderson with profes
sionalism would seem to indicate
the officials have the idea tina:
when the track aces run it runs
into money, and the goal is the
81 mile instead of the four-min.
ute mile. The idea in some quar-
tiers, on reading Of the astonish.
ing times turned in on Swedish
tracks, has been that the timers
must have used sun dials or hour
glasses. The fact that, as report
ed, the track fathers are WILLING
to sacrifice the records in the
interest Of amateur sport would
seem to kill the idea national
pride had something to do with
the marks.
Sgt. Mickey Mcconnell submits
the report on a very busy guy.

Up in New York state, the New
York Herald-Tribune reported this
week is a fish which has eluded
northern fishermen for 20 years.
She or he, or maybe 1t would be
better to say it, is a muskellunge,
better known to the trade as a
muskie.
When he, she or it was captured
by the New York Conservation De-
partment, it was measured and
found to be 40 3-4 inches long, just
63-4 inches shorter than the worlds
record.
According to New York Conserva-
walton records, it probably holds
the record for known age of any
wild fresh water fish. Pet@r B.
Duryea. Conservation Commis SION
er is still looking for suitable
trophy for the angler who captures
the giant.
This has certainly been a season
for often beaten teams to turn the
tables on the perennial victors. Out
in the Big Ten an Indiana team
which is usually a door mat for 9TH
er conference teams is on top of the
heap while in the professional
league Cleveland and Philadelphia
will probably play for the cham
pionship.
Army is another team getting in
its innings this year after several
years OF drought. OF course last
years Army team was one OF the
best in the country but it wasn't
TO long ago that the only reason a
team scheduled the Cadets was to
take the beautiful trip to West
Point.
We get quite a kick out Of east
ern sports writers claiming the
Army for their own. Their brightest
stars come from such old southern
and western states as California,
Florida and Michigan. And of
course Doc Blanchards native
South Carolina is far removed from
what could rightfully be called the
eastern section.

spite of the crying need for nurses
in the armed forces that only 300
Negro nurses had been accepted
when there are 5000 or more avail
able. eff the matter was left to the
mothers Of the boys who are
wounded in battle, 1 am sure that
they would not care what the color
of the nurses might be who would
attend to the needs of their wound
ed sons" DR.. Title answered
the question asked by Rev. B.
N. Moore, pastor of st. James A.
M. E. Church and a member of the
Conference Committee, as to wheth-
er or not he agreed with those white
persons who say "you people are
too aggressive for your rights and
you ought to be patient, etc." DR..
Title said that he did not agree
with the position. "The Negro
should use every method, short of
violence, to obtain his rights, white
people must not sit back and urge
patience on the part of a Negro but
should see to it that Negroes are
given their rights. So many of my
Negro friends tell me that Negro
soldiers trained to kill will not
be content to accept Jim Crow &C
commodations when the war is over
and I know that that is true, but
the use of violence will set the
cause of the Negro back" DR.. Title
asserted.

dist Episcopal Church passing a

card will draw the biggest house in
more than 10 years. Harry Hirsch,
who is in charge of the fight ducats
tells me that the house will go over
$4,000 and not to be surprised
that it may hit IL or 10 thousand.
Now that is lot of money, more
than Jackie Graves ever dreamed
of. It doesn't take long before
Eastern promoters, fight managers
and fighters will soon be willing to
come to our fair city to show off
their stuff. They are always inter-
ested in what the attraction draws.
Harry Jaffra, the former cham
pion, is in town and no one need
worry about him being in sound
physical condition. One of the chief
reasons he's been around these
many years is because he takes
good care of himself.
Maybe you're all wondering
what is to become of Charley Riley
or why he isn't on Tuesday nights
fight show and what not?
With the 4-F'ers getting war
"work or fight" it makes it almost
impossible for the promoter to line
up first rate attraction. Stecher
for the past two weeks, has been
trying his best to line up an OPP
ponent for Charley Riley, but to this
writing is almost ready to throw
in the sponge.
Take the following as a good pre-
dictiOn. After Jackie Graves is
taken under Uncle Sans wing,
Stecher will build up Riley as his
lace" as he has done with Graves.
Stecher and Len Kelly both respect
Riley and there is no doubt in my
mind that the two were protecting
Graves all these months from
Riley.
A couple of weeks ago in this
space we predicted that if and when
the two meet that Riley would beat
Graves with no ifs nor and's.
And now l suppose you all want
to know who is going to win be-
tween Jaffra and Graves? :. Well,
let us put it this way.
One - Graves is a conner and
Jaffra has passed his peak. But
the question remains-how far past
is Jaffra from his best fighting
form?
Usually a champion q mean ex)
should know enough to coast along
and perhaps win the decision. He
should do that much. But then
again Graves fighting for all that
he is worth and before the largest
crowd to see a boxing show in many
years may fight an inspired fight.
So there you have it. It should
be fight as the record books don't
show that Jaffra has done any
thing but fight a good fight at each
appearance.

her and marry her this time, or
should I go on and try to forget

her heart to one fellow, and he gave
her a tragic let-dOwn. Because of
that experience, she has become a
little hardened and wary of men.
Although she does love you, she
wants a husband and father for
her child, not just passing rO-
nance. If you don't feel that you
are ready to settle down to her
terms, it would be fair to both of
you to make a clean break.
w. M. L.: have been here about three
months. met man the first day I ar
rived and I took a very deep liking to
him. His friends talk against him to me
but he proves to be very nice. He says he
loves me, but he lives with another wom-
an. I am planning to go home and he
doesn't want me to go. Do you think it
wise for me to stay?
Ans: The place for you, young lady, is
back home with your people. The man has
taken no steps whatsoever to prove his
sincerity. He already has a mate and evil
IDENTIFY doesn't choose to give her up .
therefore, his friends are right in trying
to discourage your relations with him. A
girl your age should choose her friends
with extreme caution and only encourage
those who are free to carry on an open
friendship.
B. H: am a married man but I am
not living with my wife. have a sweet
heart and care for her but she always
begs me for money and says she loves me
but speaks smart all of the time. She has
a husband and another friend. I know
them both. Should I let her go or keep
going with her?
Ans: You're paying an exorbitant price
for the crumbs of affection you're receiv-
ing when in reality you're only getting
the leavings of these other two men.
Should you cute down on the money, she
would lose all affection for you. Love that
you have to buy isn't worth having.

IT WAS not the first time she'd repeated to
him some of Mimsy's choicest bits. She'd
always thought they were funny, and thought
he'd think so too. He obviously didn't, she
suddenly realized, for she caught his refec-
ton in the mirror as she was brushing her
hair. That tight look around the mouth.
Pain, yes, and withdrawal She'd seen that
look before, many times this summer, but
she'd put it down to his experience of the
past three years. and she'd respected it as
the need for man to be alone with himself
after bearing unbearable things.
