son Gets Underway At
18th And Ann Street

In a hard-fought pigskin encoun-
ter inauguarating the New Hanov-
er grade-school football loop, the
Sunset Park eleven bowed down
before the woodworking Hemen-
way outfit yesterday at the Thir-
teenth and Ann street stadium
to a 1877 tune.
James Whedbee, history teacher
at Hemenway who also doubles as
gridiron mentor for the Sixth
Street schoolboys, fielded a talent
ed aggregation that shapes up as
one of the top contenders in the
grammar school league. The Sunset
Park pigskinners, coached by Mike
Mlchaelis, showed up equally well
in spite of a slightly lighter line.
The victors pushed across touch
downs in the second and third per-
1ods; Rudolf Caps striking pay-dirt
on a ten yard sprint to rack up the
tlrst SIX points, with Bobby Primm
annexing another six following The
opening of the second half. Sunset
Parks lone tally came on a line
plunge by Jimmy Crawford in the
second quarter.
Although both elevens looked
weak on defense, Gene Potter anc
jimmy Gibson took honors in the
Hemenway line, while Sandy anc
Addison Crimson stood out for the
losers.

Worry Over Flank
Problem: Bridges; Stewart
Out With Recent Injuries

dicates that the Blackbirds,
who lost their opening confer
ence tilt to Goldsboro last
week, are pointing toward the
MINIS contest grimly. The
Smokey City lads have not lost
a football game to Wilmington
since back in the '20s, and be-
cause of previous perform
ances this year against River
side and Greensboro, will go
into Fridays affray again as
favorites.
Coach Joe Caruso, as always,
depends upon a varied passing
offensive for most of his touch
downs, and in Alvin Hooks, the
veteran mentor possesses a
gifted tosser. Melvin, swift left
halfback, and Bob Page,
swivel-hopped right halfback,
supply the break-away power
for Rocky Mount, while CarusO
alternates several boys at full
back. The trio, mentioned
above, are his chief threats.
This group have the same first
string line, which fought Will
mington to a &c tie here last
year, in front of them also.
Most fans think beating a
Blackbird club seems almost
impossible for MINIS, but beat
ing them in Rocky Mount
sounds fantastic.
The Cats, who showed great
spirit in drills yesterday, are
confident of ending the Birds
monopoly over Wilmington,
however, and the coaching
staff believe their squad can
turn the trick.

Refuses Mixed
Group

Washington, d. G. - Aug. -
(NNPA) - The Central YMCA at
1876 G. Street northwest is still
adhering to a policy of race seq
regation, it was disclosed here
last Friday when it refused to
house mixed group of ten young
men of the Farmers Union from
various sections of the country.
These men, two of whom were
colored, had recently attended a
forum on citizenship at Fieldston
Schools encampment at River
dale, New York, where a six-week
course in interracial relations was
given. At the close of the session
they decided to visit the Nations
Capital.
Reservations were made before
leaving New York for the group
to stop at the Central YMCA. Up
on arrival at the Central YMCA
they were told they could not be
housed because of the presence
of the colored lads and were re-
ferred to the Twelfth Street YIN
CA if the colored lads could not
stay there. All of them went to
the Twelfth Street YMCA.
When they reached the Twelfth
Street YMCA, the explained their
plight to Robert Harris, super
intendent of the dormitory. Mr..
Harris telephoned Randolph E.
Meyers of the Central YMCA to
find out why the group had been
refused accommodations.
"You understand the problem
down here" Mr.. Harris quoted
Mr.. Meyers as having stated. eve
are unable to take care of the en-
tire delegation, but l think we
have space for some OF them, ne
added.
Mr.. Harris said that upon ques-
tioning Mr.. Meyers he found out
that the group had been refused
accommodation because of the
presence of the two colored men.
Although all rooms at the
Twelfth Street YMCA were taken,
cots were set up in "a large up
stairs room where the group
stayed from Saturday night until
Tuesday morning.
The two colored youths in the
group were Herbie Douglass of
Chicago and Bob Richardson of
the Bronx, New York.
