Scientific ANALYSIS
OF BLACK GHETTO
Reviewed by SetsukO Matsunaga

BLACK Metropolis" is a mighty
moving drama of life in the black
ghetto of Midwest Metropolis, min
utely portrayed with skillful bal
ance between scientific facts and
their coordinated reality in the day
to day fear and hunger of its in
habitants.
Richard Wright says in his intro
duction, 81 found that sincere art
and honest science were not far
apart, that each could enrich the

himself fascinated by the artistry
of the descriptions and the aura of
romance stepped in reality, which
surrounds the story of BLACK Me-
tropolis- s-how it came to be; why
it persists; how its people live;
what Midwest Metropolis thinks of
it; what its people think of them
selves and of Midwest Metropolis;
whether it, too, will eventually dis
appear -.
The authors have made abund-
antly fertile for the layman the
otherwise sterile accumulation of
data that support social scientific
concepts such as industrialization,
secularization, urbanization, and
social differentiation. The brutal
truth of this city within city and its
people is supported word for word
by more than five years of scientific
investigation, the results of which
have been cleverly visualized in
maps and charts and personalized
by interviews, snatches of conver-
sations, and participant observa-

OF Cadets Says
BY the Associated Press.


! WEST POINT, N. Y, Nov. 2e.-
You can throw all the records out
the window and chalk up Saturday s
Army Navy football game as a
trough, tough struggle in which any,
thing might happen.
That is, you can if you're inclined
to believe Col. Earl (Red) Blaik
head coach of the all-victorious
Army team which has been estab-
lished in most quarters as a four
touchdown favorite to sink the Navy
run its victory string to l8 and
pocket the national championship
of 1945.
With furrowed brow, Blaik will
look you straight in the eye and tell
you he rates the game a toss-up
And there's something about his
straightforward manner that makes
you think he really means it.
Navy has improved immeasufably
the last three weeks" Blaik says
particularly on the offense."
If pressed, Blaik will explain that
the Middies are now using a tight
T formation about 80 per cent of the
time, whereas they formerly ran
mostly from a split T.
Hot Rivalry is Equalizer.
Also, Army may be weakened
somewhat by the illness of Arnold
Tucker. first string quarterback, and
Barney Poole, second string end
both in bed with mild cases of flu
and an injured shoulder received by
Rip Rowan, chief understudy OF
Fullback Doc Blanchard, in yester-
days practice.
But the principal equalizer in thi.
game is the traditional rivalry exist.

performances can be forgotten any
time the two teams meet.
I'VE were picked to beat Navy ir
1912" he recalls. But we wen,
down to Annapolis and got one Of
the worst kicking-arounds u4-o) WI
ever got"
In Blaik's opinion, Navy's Dick
Duden and Leon Bramlett are bet
ter pair of ends than Army has
faced all season. "Duden is a great
athlete" he says. He has size anc
ability and is fine leader"
No Fancy Stuff Expected.
And in Dick Scott, the crack Mid.
die center, Navy has "the best line
backer we'll be up against this year,
declared the Army chieftan. An
other Navy player who commands
the respect of the Cadets is Half
back Bob Kelly, described by Blaik
as "one of the greatest runners from
the Information to come along ir
the past five years"
Kelly has been hobbled by injuries
a good portion of the current season
but IF he's ready to 60 he will heir
Navy's attack immeasurably," BlaiE
believes.
All in all. the colonel thinks the
