GAM looked uncomfortable as he
~ stood with his large feet planted
aWkwardly on Harriet Sweets
oriental rug. His violin was tucked
under one arm, and with his free
hand he pushed thick lock of hair
away from his dark, ugly face.
"All right, Sam, let's try it
again" said Harriet. She sat
STRAIGHTFORWARD on the piano bench
and played the introduction to
"Traumerei' on the mahogany
grand. Her gray head kept time
to the music with lively little mods.
Eyes, ma'am," said Sam. His
voice was changing. Every move
he made was done in an agony of
self-consciousness. He brought his
violin up to his chin, and then for
got himself as he brought the rich
tones to life beneath his fingers.
Harriet sighed as the last note
became stilled. THAT was splendid,
Sam" she said. 81 haven't another
pupil as talented as you are"
A light showed briefly in his dark
eyes, and then he blushed and
moistened his lips.
Harriet wondered sometimes why
she wanted so much to win this
boys friendship. He was unattrac-
tive. He had last name she
couldn't begin to pronounce. 1t was
partly the longing of a lonely, child
less woman, she supposed. for
someone to mother.
The music should have formed
bond between them. But up
10 now she felt she was losing
the battle to pierce his shyness
and win Sans friendship. For
six months he had come to her
for his weekly lesson, but al
though she had tried in every
way she knew to get next to
the boy, she had failed.
II have no friends" he had told
her once bluntly, when she had
questioned him, and she had an
aching picture of him, working hard
after school to earn money to help
out at home with his brothers and
sisters, squeezing out the extra
dollar for music lesson. practicing
late at night. She would have loved
to help him in some way, but he
was proud and independent.
Sam cleared his throat and wiped
his arm across his sweating fore
head.
Mrs. Sweet, I'm going to stop
taking lessons" he said.
"Oh, SAM" said Harriet, "Why?"
"My kid brother busted my violin.
This one is borrowed from my old
mans sister just for tonight. Pm
going to earn another fiddle 1t will
take a while They have them at
Brothers music store for Is bucks
AS soon as I get it I'll be back"
1t was the longest speech he had
ever made.
Harriet reached over the bronze
bust of Beethoven on top of the pi-
ano and took her own violin loving
ly from its alligator case.
There's no need of missing those
lessons, SAM" she said. "You may
use my violin as long as you need
one" She tried not to think about
the kid brother who busted violins.
This one had cost her a thousand
dollars.
Sans face was shining. Gee,
Mrs. Sweet. Gee! I'll make it right
with you," he added hastily.
II know you'll take good care of
it."
"Oh, yes, ma'am."
She followed up her advantage.
II wish you'd always try to think
of me as your friend, Sam. I like
you very much"
He looked down at the floor and
shifted from one foot to the other.
HARRIET thought of Sam often

OBSERVATIONS
BY Mack c. Nance
MAJORITY MUST HAVE EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY

If the Colored races Gncluding
the Afra-American) have reached
their present impecuniouS and
highly unsatisfactory status, with
their legs fettered and arms tied
behind them, what would they
have accomplished with legs free
and their arms stretched forth to
God? Here then, is the cause of
global fear on the part of the Cau-
caSian or white races. It is not a
question of whether the Colored
races ca ndo the job as, well as the
whites but there is growing fear
that the Colored races, may and
will excel, therefore giving the lie
to a mythical and an illusionary
white supremacy Therefore,
there is global fight by the white
races, to prevent Colored races
from obtaining for themselves,
equal opportunity. It has been
and is my theory, that if a mon
key, only, is left to explore the
fields of climbing and acrobatics,
the monkey will always be in lead
in that special line of activity.
When man takes part in such ac-
tivities, he (man) makes a monkey
out of the monkey. If Max Baer
should have been armed with brick
bats, black jack and ballpeen
hammer while Louis was armed
only with boxing gloves, the latter
would not have become the heavy
weight champion of the world. The
sporting public, more fair and just
than the underworld clinics, in
sisted that each party be given
equal opportunity. Billions of Col
ored boys and girls, of Africa, Bur-
ma, India, China, Indo-China, In
donesia Malaga, and other perse-
cuted races, patiently, awaits an
equal opportunity to be educated
and trained in science, art, re-
searches, new discoveries and ex-
ploitations, field, heretofore,

In Tough Defense
OF Track Crown
BY the A.sociotsd Press

NEW YORK, May 28.-If New
York University is to be dethroned
as team titlist In the IC4A track and
field championships opening at Tri-
borough Stadium today. it will be up
to Penn State, Michigan State or
Yale to turn the trick.
Those three appear to be the only
teams among the record entry of Al
colleges with enough strength to
keep the New Workers from grab
bing their fourth team title IN eight
years.
N. Y. U. is basing its title hopes on
the largest team IN the field, SO
men headed by National AAU BOO
meter Champion Reggie Pearman
and United States Decathlon Title
holder Irving Mondschein.
Pearman will shoot for a double
in the 440 and $50, q feat achieved
by only two other men-Olympic
Champions John Woodruff and Ted
Meredith-in the 72-year history of
the Nations oldest track meet.
II Pearman can win both events,
N. Y. U. will have a good chance to
repeat, provided the Violets also
finish in the money with Mond-
schein in the high and broad jumps,
Stan Lampert in the shotput, Ira
Kaplan in the sprints. Jim Gill
hooley in the 440 and Armand Os-
terberg in the 2-mile.
Michigan State, the 1947 runner
up, again has potent entry led by
Fred johnson, who won both the
broad jump and low hurdles and
finished second in the century last
year: Jack Dianetti, who trailed
Pearman by inches in the half mile,
and Tom Irmen, q 9:21 2-miler.
Michigan State never has won the
title, although the Spartans were
second in 1898, as we'll as last year,
and fourth in 1887, 1889 and l946.
Penn State won Its only IC4A title
In 1942.
Penn States power rests with its
distance aces, Gerald Karver and
Horace Ashenfelter, IC4A indoor
champions at and 2 miles. Karver
has his sights set on the meets mile
record of 4:112, set by Lou Zam-
perrin of Southern California in 1899.
Yale, which won the last of its 10
IC4A titles in 1924, has concentrated
most of its strength in the field
events, with Vic Frank and Jim
Fuchs favored to dominate the shot
and discus.
