Treaient of Texas
Prisoners Protested

NEW YOAK, Feb. II. = At
ter receiving an anonymous letter
on behalf of three hundred in
mates of a Texas State Prison
farm camp, the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People has protested to the
Governor of the State of Texas
against the inadequate facilities
and the abuse 0 fthe prisoners in
the camp. The letter from the
anonymous inmate read, in part,
"There is no one we can 60 to
and tell our troubles without be-
ing beaten and kicked like we are
uogs-not even a doctor. De we
nave to be beatn aned run like
catIle merely because we are in
prison! DO we have to be worked
4 the rain, or forever eat the food
that a DOG wouldn't eat? We +
have paid our debt to society, but
not asking for freedom until we
we are asking for someone to
make it safe here for US while we
are here"
Upon Investigation, the Gen
eral Manager Of the Texas Prison
System has admitted frankly that
some of the alleged conditions are
true but has assured the NAACP
that the inmates will be death
with fairly in the future and that
there will be an improvement in
the physical facilities offered to
The prisoners.

Continue Segregation

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. II.
(ANP) = Unless the Supreme
court of the United States rules
otherwise, Oklahoma will continue
to segregate Negroes and whites
in schools, stated legislative and
administrative Officials announced

by the recent Sipuel decision of

tinue segregation with a recon-
mendation for Substantially

Church Ask End
OF Segregation

NEW YORK, Feb. II. &C.,
Immediate abolition of segregation
in churches of all denominations
was urged Sunday February 8, by
Rev. DR.. Stanley l. Stuber, chair
man of the Commission on Reli-
gious Freedom of the Baptist
World Alliance.
Rev. DR.. Stuber in making this
announcement, which was in con-
junction with the 26th annual OBJ
servance of Race Relations Sun
day, contended that, eff the
churches do not accept the chal-
lenge, they will be encouraging
the present trend in this nation to-
ward militarism and become I'M
willingly, an ally of communism.
Communism lives on the fears
created by injustice and the dis
satisfactions and resentments that
are caused by Jim Grow practices.
The time has come to open all our
churches to all who desire to enter
therein"

EJOC Hear
Urban League Executive

Charles Washington, executive
secretary Of the Dayton Urban
league, addressed members of the
Equality in Job Opportunity
Council Sunday afternoon at it's
regular meeting at the YMCA.
Mr.. Washington outlined the
functions Of the Urban league,
illustrating them with specific ex-
amples drawn from his experience
with the league in Minneapolis and
Pittsburgh. Then he took stock
of the present position of the
league, where it stands in light of
present conditions and where it
will go from here. He noted that
though tremendous inroads have
been made in the industrial en-
ployment of Negroes, there are
still areas where employers are
still fettered with that backwoods
stubborness and still refuse to en-
ploy Negroes except as e men
ials, if they employ them at all.
The audience responded knowing
ly, for they are quite aware of the
situation having two large indus
trial plants, and a horde of small
er ones here in Dayton who have
refused to relent on the hiring

No+re Dame Idle
This Week: Play
Woshingfon Next

While enjoying an open date
this weekend, the Notre Dame
football squad can look. forward
to the Washington game, to be
played Nov. q, and the opportu-
nifty of breaking all all-time
Notre Dame records for success
sive victories and number of
games without defeat.
If the Irish should defeat the
Huskies, they will have won 21
games in a row, and have gone
q contests without defeat. The
previous all-time marks were 20
consecutive victories and 26
games without defeat.
The present Notre Dame un-
beaten record began against
Illinois, on Sept. 26, 1946, when
the Irish topped the Illini, 26-6,
as Frank Leahy again took over
the coaching reins following his
return from Navy service. Fol-
lowing four more victories, the
Notre Damers were held to a
scoreless tie by Army, in New
York's Yankee Stadium, on Nov.
9, 1916. Since that game, the
Irish have overcome 20 straight
opponents.
The old records were held by
the Notre Dame teams of 1929,
1880 and 1881. Following a 27-
Ia loss to Southern California in
the last game of the 1923 season,
the Irish, under the late famed
Knute Rockne, won 10 straight
in going through the 1929 and
1880 campaigns unbeaten and
united to two straight National
Championships.
Another record, which may or
may not continue at the Wash
ington game concerns the num-
Der of consecutive contests the
Irish have played to sellout
houses. To date, the mark has hit
"a games. Four thousand seats
remain for the HuSkie game.

nings and Bob Reagen, who both
were sidelined because of in
iuries. With the offensive ability
of Jennings and the fine line
play of Reagen, the game might
have had a different ending.
Closest scoring threat of the
contest came in the final canto
when the All-Stars marched 78
yards to the Rossford 2-yard line
but the attack begged down at
this point and the Merchants
took over the ball.
Again it was Bobby Sarchiz
and Jack Clifford supplying yard
gaining for Local IL but when
the scoring chances came, the
Merchants dug in.
The line continued to play
outstanding football and Tillis
Ewing, Ed Estes, Walt Gunlite,
Sunny Miller, Augie Feldt and
Harold RAIDER performed like
demons. Time and again these
boys made tackles behind the
Rossford line of scrimmage.
Rossford had big, fast team
and drove to the Local IL, 18-
yard line at one period in the
game but the All-Star forward
wall refused to let down and
stopped the attack.
The game was played before
a large crowd, who were well
satisfied with the showings of
both elevens.

toughest opener any Toledo
five has even run into.
Coach Jerry Bush has been
drilling his squad for the past
two months and has come
up with a two team system.
L a cking sadly in depth,
Coach Bush has corrected the
problem this year and de-
cided to use the double team
set-up.
The squad still needs more
heighth, but Bush believes
the team has the speed and
cage know how needed to
offset the disadvantage.
He not only has all of his
regulars back from last sea-
son, but also four seasoned
p e + { orm ers up from the
freshman squad. These in
clude three New ork City
boys, Ed Leroy, G eorg e
Lideman and Bob Walker,
plus the former Woodward
Hig h School lu m n y,
Johnny Kornowa.
With these four added to
veterans like Dal z u b e r,
c harlie Harmon, George
Bush, Carlo Muzi, Johnny
Kartholl, Len Rhodes, Cal
Christensen and Dick Wer-
ner, you can picture what a
strong aggregation Bush is
going to have out Bancroft
St. this winter.
Such well-known teams as
Michigan, Loyola, d e n ver,
Bowling Green and Eastern
Kentucky are on the schedule
so you will have the oppor-
tunity of seeing some of the
country's finest teams.
