Yale Depends On Levi Jackson

Yale wins from Colgate 27-6.
 Levi Jackson the colored full back on Yale University's football team, is one of the fastest playing football players Yale has had in many a day. The. lad is triple threat, with his long punts, accu- rate forward passing and clever, tricky broken field running. He is only a freshman at the college which means that when he is fully developed by the Yale football coaching staff nothing on the col lege football gridiron will be. able to stop him. Down at New Haven all the high school football young sters go out to the Yale Bowl and root for Jackson to score "a touch down everytime he carries the ball. The Yale college students have made him their idol. In the Colgate game Jackson did not score until late in the fourth quarter and it was on the only really trick play of the game, a 22-yard run. He weighs about 190 pounds and is hard to tackle.

Newark, N. J. October 8 - New ark's Eagles are the undisputed Negro Worlds Series Champions this week after their hard-won vic tory over the Kansas City Mon archs here Sunday. The deciding game was 3-2 affair that was a thriller from beginning to end.
 This is the first championship for the Eagles, although some of the men on the team have partici- pated in Series games before with other clubs. The Eagles had not been given any edge in the before series betting.
 Rufus Lewis made a safe place for himself in the ranks of the Negro greats in pitching the win ming game unaided for Newark His opponent was Ford Smith, Monarch left-hander, who pitched real heart-breaker as his team mates were unable to beat back the Eagle offensive.

R. l. Scrapper To Meet Farland

Providence, Oct. 8-Eddie "Non- ny" Soares of Fox Point who has just about beaten every local box CT of any note, is scheduled to get his long-awaited bout with Gene Farland, who is generally recog- nized as middleweight champ of the State.
 The bout is planned for October 16 at the Arcadia's Downtown AC. Farland, one of the best middle weights in New England, has long been giving Soares the we'll known run-around as far as a match was concerned. In fact Eddie's man. agement had begun to yell loud and long about just who WAS the rightful middleweight champ.
 After all Nonny has beaten the same boxers who lost decisions to Farland, and usually conceded weight to his opponents. A tough clever boxer who now has the ne- cessary experience.
 'Soares stands a good chance of defeating Farland in the bout that will be the high point in his local ring career.

Beau Jack Not
 Hot And Bothered

New York, (By Ted Young) Oct. 7 - "They can have the title. They know what they can do with it - give it to Ray Robinson"
 This, in effect, was the decision handed down this week by the cele- brated Beau Jack, as he discussed the vacated middleweight cham pionship title for which he has been named Number Two man and needs only fight-off battle to put him in top spot to earn.
 The Beau, refusing any part of the recent Boxing Commission of fer of title for little, If any, work, feels that the belt really be- longs around the middle of Ray Robinson, and is fully agreed that 1t be placed there, forthwith and without undue delay.
 The attitude of Beau Jack is not regarded as a refusal or unwilling ness to meet Ray or anyone else in the division. In the five years that Beau has stood among the top-notchers, including a spell o1 holding the title himself, he has met all corners, and hastened to add through his manager that he still will do so.
 He just doesn't want any part ot synthetic title, that's all,' he says.

Co-Captain Stan Cdum, right half3ack of Central Highs Golden Wave, played an exceptionally fine defensive game along with his usual adroit offensive work, but a late last period sustained drive by Mt. Pleasant's Highlanders handed the Black and Gold a 60 defeat last Friday in Pierce Memorials packed stadium.
 Crum's boots kept his opponents back on their heels. He did a mini mum of ball-carrying, but early in the first quarter he electrified the crowd when he spun and twisted his way through several Mt. Pleas ant tacklers on an IS yard solo, flight that was unfortunately called back by the officials. A marked man, he usually acted as the decoying man-in-motion on CentraPs running plays. On the defense he was a constant thorn in the side of the Mountie ball-car= riers as he made tackle after

 After a scoreless first half the Highlanders launched a powerful third period offensive that was stopped only when Crum intercep- ted an aerial on his own 28 and ran it back to the 35 where com menced a Central offensive that begged down on the tMounties' 5 yard line, wrom whence Mt.

 During the pre-game warmup Crum gave a good exhibition o1 bunting. At the half Joe Cardozs led the girl baton-wielders of Cen tral in smooth display of unified dexterity.

Negro Lad Stars
 At Bra1deis Higl

Early last week, high school football fans found out that the Brandeis eleven would not be 8 turnover, as Coach Murphy had warned. Although Brandeis was beaten by Brighton by 8 score of 20-7, they proved that they can be threat. One of Brighton's touch downs was caused by a Brandeis pass which was intercepted by one of the alert lads of Orange.
 As the Brandeis boys began to press hard, left end Dick Wash ington completed beautiful pass thrown by his teammate Fennes- sey, out-stepping the secondary and running about 65 yeards to pay dirt. The point after touchdown was made, and Brandeis although defeated was not discouraged, thanks to Washington's alertness. (MEHl

Lincoln University, bulging at the seams with football talent, trounced St. Paul 68-O in it's season opener at Lawrenceville, Virginia on Saturday. A crowd of five hun dred sun-baked fans watched Man. ny Rivers Lions pile up touch down after touchdown, with eleven men figuring in the scoring.

Unbeaten G.I. X Is Discharged

Fort Dix, New Jersey - Private J. D. Harvey, a 24-year-old G1 boxer, whose nickname, Grand mas Boy," fails tU conceal the atomic power latent in his fists, has left the Army via the Fort Dix Separation Center and headed for his Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, home and a professional career in the squared circle.

Hub Women In Bowling
By Norma Wilson

Greetings, guys and gals! Now that the Vows and Eaglettes have quieted down to their regular routine bowling the Arrows, as predicted. are coming into their own. While the record made by the Vows last week will stand for a while the Arrows came with in three pins of breaking their high single, giving them high sim gle for this week. The hard shooting Pins took the high three for this week from the Arrows by two pins:
 it was a stiff battle between Marie Garner of the Pins, Bea Wiggins of the Flashes and Win nie Allen of the Arrows for the first high string. Marie had a strike on a spare for 1O2 string, Bea and Winnie had three spares each; Bea ending with 106 and Winnie beating her by three pins for 1O9. Just to prove how closely related these two girls are in their bowling, Winnie came out with the high single for the week by three pins Bea did an about face and came out with three of the evening, beating Winnie by the same number of pins-283-28O.
 Frances Anderson of the Fall cons brought home the first triple spares of the season for string of 1O2. Nice going, Frances; keep up the good work.
 Gladys Reddick, formerly an Arrow, now rolling for the Five Stars brought in three nice strings, the highest of which was 92. Emile Smith, another mem Der of the Five Stars, bowled 85- 94-102 for a total of 281. My compliments to Capt. Elaine Col lins for some nice team work.
 Little Addie Pridgett, a new member of the Cyclones who got off on the wrong foot with her captain last week when she made a very understandable mistake and missed out on her first string, is redeeming herself this week with some nice bowling. I have it from good authority that Captain Con- nie Turner will be pleased with this new member.

SCHOOLBOY CHANGES
By Mike Haynes (Vin Haynes-Pinchhitting)

N
 We'll, high school football really got underway last week. Wednes- day was a very windy day, and the team with its back t. the north goal on Commercial Field (the Fens) found it difficult to execute perfection in it's counting and pass ing assignments. Tech High trailed Commerce 60 at one point in the fray and suffered cour consecutive blocked kicks while defending that goal. Until the closing period of the game, the Artisans were mak- ing little yardage on ground power. It was then that QB Jim McMann faded and tossed a successful pass to Pete Roach in the end zone to tie up the score.
 Thursdays schedule brought up strong and classy Latin Il, who trounced Roxbury Memorial 200. Memorials colored lad in the spot light was halfback Luther Rice who spun off on a few magnificent runs.
 Sparked by the running of QB Hal Crosby, Captain Sylvester "Creeper" Mills and the Trade eleven downed a fighting Dorches- ter High team 13-0.
 Eddie Tyles appearance in the Brighton, East Boston tilt was rather brief due to the fact that plays used in that game were given during his absence. Eddie, a Pan- ther Cub, is pursuing a mechanical course at Brighton High,

 Branching off from the main theme, "Schoolboy Chances" let's give a brief looksee at last Sun days Park League results. While the temperature hovered in the 7O's, making it more than pleas ant day for sport fans, it was a trying one for the grid1ron par ticipants. Despite the heat, the clubs exhibited a fine brand of football.
 The Eagles A, who were sched- ul. q to meet the Volunteer Juniors at Rotch Field, took the tilt by forfeiture, when the team substi- tuting for them, the Charleston Eagles, failed to arrive on the grid.
 ********
 At Savin Hill the Panthers clashed with a mighty Moakley Club, who emerged with 12-0 victory over our boys. A Panther scoring threat, set up by a beau tiful smash by Teddy Donelan which halted on the Moakley IS yard line, was banished as the re suit of a tumble.
 ~***%****#*
 In Elastic, the Panther Cubs (Redskins) met larger and heav- fer Hilltop AC and battled to a scoreless tie. Here, Ed Tyler of Brighton High, and Tom Queeley of Trade, made a great showing. The Panther lads returned home with tales of praise in regards to the Hilltop clean brand of ball and excellent sportsmanship. That is good to hear, for these factors are number one assets in an interest ing game.
