Coach Siighs For Frank Dixon

New York CCNls)-sWhere, oI where is Frank Dixon, the distance ace of NYU?" is the tune CoacE Won Filing is wailing. Dixon has been missing week since his bad showing in the Penn Relays. Said Ed Walsh, reputed best miller in the country, 'fDixon told me al the Penn Relays he was disap- pointed in his running. He said he had no hopes of getting back his speed until he put in a long ses- sion of cross country work. May be he's gone into retirement until he feels he can produce prewa1 style."
 Meanwhile, Coach Won Filing prefers to think that Frank hasn't showed up because of his heavy schoolwork. Whatever the reason, the coach is mighty anxious to hear from his former protege. Won Filling had in mind to use Dixon in the Met outdoor college cham pionship scheduled this week. With no Dixon, the event will be mere stroll for Ed Walsh.

Mabel Fairbanks Skates For Kids

Hollywood (CN'S)-Mabel Fair banks, the young and vivacious ice skating star, took run down to Hynes, California last week which is 25 miles from Los Angeles, to visit the coasts famous Iceland Rink. There she donned her skates and joined the 'fChildren's Hour session in which the kids stopped their practice to get a better view of the wonder girls ability.
 Iceland had about 500 white kids that day and they swarmed Miss Fairbanks for autographs for more than an hour. They open ly compared the bronze queen with every big name skater in the busi- ness - from Sonia Henie to Be lita. They told her they had never seen a Negro girl who could skate as she could. And Mabel blushing- ly took it very modestly. "Of course I appreciate their attitude" she confessed.

The SPORTLIGHT
By Jimmie Wright

HARTFORD, May 22 - The Sportlight this week is shining brightly on Walter ''Doc" Hurley, one of Hartford's greatest ath- letes. ~Doc" has just received his honorable discharge from the Ma rines. 'sDoc" established a wonder full record for himself while in the service. At the present time MT Hurley is making plans for enter ing some college in the fall. Hav- ing completed two years of college at Virginia State, where he starred in basketball and football, 'SDoc' has gained the valuable but ever emphasized word, "contact."
 This writer is inclined to be- lieve that an athlete of "Doc" Hurley's ability should matricu- late in we'll known northern col lege under the GI Fill. ''Doc'
 plans to become a coach and we know that he will give serious thought when selecting a college to complete his education.
 Duchess Girls AC Open Season
 Sunday the Duchess Girls soft ballers will open their season at Willow Brook Park in New Bri- tain against the strong Radcliffe All Star Girls. The girls have been working out between the showers. According to the leader, the girls have improved greatly over last season. In a recent prac- tice game against the Veeder Root Girls the hitting power showed up well. Ruth Shorter, who holds down 1st base, is now batting in the clean up position. She packs mean wallop at the plate and with more practice in her timing should develop into a home run swatter. Others who are strong hitters include Dorothy Lewis, 3rd baseman; Ethel Jones a pitch CT and Irene Perry a left fielder, whose greatest asset is her speed.
 s'Tina" IBemford, a short stop, has a very good arm but has to practice little more on her field ing. The same is true of Dorothy Lewis at 3rd base. The 2nd base spot is quite weak. Betty Benford is now at 2nd, but she is having trouble fielding the ball even though she tries hard.
 The left and right field positions are somewhat weak but with the addition of Inez WorreH and Nor ma Lewis the outfeld is expected to be strengthened. Little Dwynne Lee is now in at center field and Alma Stinson at right.
 Frances Patterson, a catcher, has improved. If she continues to hold down the pitching of Ethel Jones, it will mean everything in rounding out a we'll balanced club.

Jim Crow Cost Airline Extra

Jacksonville, Fla. (WDL)-This story on the high cost of jimcrow was told by William Worthy, Jr.. Negro writer who is Field Secre- tary of the Workers Defense League.
 "On plane fare of S6.1O from Savannah to Jacksonville, Delta Airlines had to pay out $2 for a special cab for me from the Jack sonville airport to the city. A clerk, expressing his regrets to me, said the company used to car ry all passengers in the 1imousines until the New Deal Cab Co.,, forced through an ordinance setting $250 fine for carrying mixed pas sengers.
 q can we'll believe the airline does not like this restriction since it hits their pocketbook - in my case to the tune of 33 percent of the plane fare"

so signed a Tank contract. He is a former 235 pound tackle from the University of Washington.
 Indians Bo McMillan recently took a stand here in Boston that college blocking is much better than pro blocking and surprising ly enough Herb Kopf, coach of the National Professional Foot ball Leagues Boston Tanks, agrees with him.
 This may sound like heresy on the surface, but Kopf goes a lit tie beyond the McMillan state ment.
 'eSure, college blocking is bet ter, but that's due to the fact that the undergraduates aren't SO tall ented as professional football players" says Herb. "It's more difficult to blocka an outstanding football player than an average one.
 A smart player doesn't allow an opponent to get that proper angle for a good block" contin- ued Herb. After all, it is thrill ing to see an offensive player chop some defender down with a nice crisp block, but if the defender is on his job and using his hands properly, he seldom gets knocked off his feet.
 "In professional football, the athletes keep shifting and moving. You may see a player block an in- dividual once, but if it happens a second time, that players pro career often ends abruptly. Great blocking doesn't necessarily mean superior football"

New Nutmeg Eks Win Opener

HARTFORD, May 23 - The new Nutmeg Elks baseball team opened their season Sunday af, ternoon May 19 in WethersfelG against the hard hitting CSF Gold Sox, winning 6 to 3. The EIks Club, although outhit 8-4, took advantage of costly errors committed by the Gold Sox.
 The highlight of the game was the pitching of Richy for the Sox Richy held the Elks hitless going into the 9th frame. Jimmie Black, twirling for the Hartford Club started off in a shaky manner, but was able to go the distance. The Elks attack was led by Dr. Ar thur Wilson, an ex-scrvice man who is practicing medicine at 21- 37 Main St., the all-around play of Porter, a 1st sackcr and young Blanks, a left fielder.
 The pay off came in the ninth inning when Harold "Ace" Park CT connected for single with the bases loaded scoring runs to clinch the game for the Nut meggers.
 Next Sunday, Coach Dick Bar lowe will send his charges against the Gold Sox for a return game. Big Bill" Marshall vii probably toe the slab for the Nutmeggers.

Army Will Help Joe Lick Conn

Chicago-Sports columnist Jim- my Cannon thinks that the Army slowed Billy Conn just enough for Joe Louis to catch and fatter him in the early rounds of their June re-match.
 In a feature article in the June issue of Negro Digest, What The Army Did To Louis And Conn, Cannon quotes boxing experts who declare that the postwar Conn looks worse than any classy fight CT they ever saw.
 The army took Billy's speed but did not affect Joe's punch.

&AfH SPORTS & R1
THE WORLD OF SPORTS
By John M. Lee

heaVyWelght III the Woflo Loday and will be for some time to come In basketball, track, swimming. football and many of the hundred other sports, Negro performers exhibit marked ability and cham pionship form. High schools and colleges throughout the north, south, east and west turn up with amazing regularity, Negro boys who show excellent athletic abil- ity. Not all of the crack perform CTS are privileged to be heralded around the world, or to become a part of a championship team. Most of them are destined to have their prowess and acclaim remain matter for local consumption, but there is no denying the con- tribution they make to the record of the game they play.
 While this piece is concerned with the male of the species, Negro women have also excelled in the sports world. They have proven themselves proficient in such stren- uous male pursuits as football, basketball, bowling and boxing. Tuskegee Institute is the proud possessor of a one woman cham pionship team in the person of the speed and stamina of Miss Alice Coachman who for the past several years has run her way into the athletic hall of fame.
 SOUND MINDS IN SOUND
 BODIES
 Whether or not there is some significance in the consistent su- periority of Negro athletes is a point I shall not undertake to re- solve. It is sufficient that such is the case, and is important that it remain the case. All of the prop aganda in the world can never be as effective as sound mind in a strong body acting with coordinat- ed effort to excel in clean, honest sport.
 Notwithstanding the fact that some unathletic thinkers with mar row minds are trying to prove that physical triumph is purely animal triumph, Negro boys and girls should take advantage of the fine weather that is on the way and take every opportunity to play hard a some sport. 1t is a sure way to rid the mind and body of dangerous poisons. The lessons learned on the field of sport will come in handy in later life. Ath- letics develop the mind as we'll as the body, and a good athlete is the possessor of some fine reflex actions.
 Training the mind and the body to function at their highest levels is the surest way to combat stupid racial propaganda. The law of the American jungle is as ancient as the law of the jungle of the lower animals. To survive it is necessary to be alert and be able to act swiftly. Now that spring is here and summer is on the way, let's start building a finer generation of ourselves by giving the young sters a chance to take part in sports.
