Catholic Colleges Stand
Helps Lift intercollegiate
Negro Player Ban

NEW YORK = Manhattan Col
lege here has accepted an invita-
tion to participate this week In
the National Association of Inter-
collegiate Basketball in Kansas
City, Mo. this decision was reach
ed in view of the fact that Negro
players will in future be permitted
to participate in tn eannual tourna-
ment.
Earlier, Manhattan had turned
down an invitation 10 participate
in the tournament when N. A. /.
B. officials at Kansas City re-
fused the colleges request that
the clause prohibiting the use OF
Negro players be rescinded from
the tournament contract.
Manhattan does not have any
Negro players on its squad, but
the college administration felt
nat participation could be regard
ID as tacid endorsement of a con-
dition that is in direct violation
of Catholic principles or racial
equality. The college is conducted
under Catholic auspices by the
Christian Brothers, Catholic Teach
ing Order.

suggestions for Committees in fax

Except whore there are several
ladges and temples in the same
city the entire membership of both
lodges and temples should be or
ganized into committee to carry
out the program. Each member
should be placed on a comfittee.
Especially should this be true.

as REPRESENTATIVES OF the
SOUTH, when as a matter of fact
they represent a SECTION of the
South. It is this fact that we
must keep continually in mind
and not let our emotions run off
with our sound jurgment
The Christian element has a
hard task before them. On one
side they are hammered by the
demagogues as betraying the tradi-
lions of the South and on the
other hand they are hammered
by Negro Agitators as Southern
Rebels. No wonder so many Of
them give up in despair and be-
come pessimistic. Our job is to
keep our balance and not be suck
ed in by this whirlpool of shallow
thinking.
In this issue of The National
Baptist Voice, you will note events
of tremendous significance in
Brentwood, Texas and Dallas
along racial lines. Do you think
for one minute that those people
who dared defy traditions were
not subjected to vituperation by
the protagonists of reaction? In
colleges, Summaries, Churches and
Assemblies. the Christian of the
South are putting their shoulders
to the wheel In this Race bust
ness. 1t is heart breaking strug-
gle that requires courage and for
titude. Truly such actions mean
cross bearing.

The Revolt Of the Southern
Politicians Means Nothing

1t is very unfair for the press
to label the action of the poll
ticians "The Revolt of The South"
It is not a revolt Of the South
but of certain politicians. A great
task lies before those people who
know that a great and increas-
ing group of Southern people are
working hard and earnestly for
the Improvement OF conditions
along all lines of social justice.
They need help and the well wish
ing Negroes must stop Jumping
all ofthe Southern people together.
A recent experience brings this
fact forcible before our attention.
Before the train started the
SOUTHERN CONDUCTOR assured
the Passenger to have no fear
as 1t was his job to protect pas
sengers as the writer was pas
senger. Now to call such men
red neck crackers and haters is
very unfair. What are the facts?
AS all people who are familiar
with the facts know, the politi-
clans spend all their time appeal
ing to the backward population
which unfortunately comprise such
large element in the South. This
element casts the deciding voice
in the elections and then these
Demagogues advertise themselves

You must not forget that the
program of your Educational Con-
gress must be carried out. We
must really get into the fight for

this will mean a resort to the

fifth on the strength of its
smashing victory over Maryland.

The Irish had to rally late to
beat out Northwestern, 1871,

The extent that the Wolver-
ines rose in favor is reflected in
the distribution of first place
votes. Notre Dame, which had
