eff somebody can just knock
Central off," said Coach zu Stewart,
wringing his hands in pleasant an
ticipation. "If that happens we'll
have a pretty good chance to take
the title"
Stewards Anacostia High School
football team is deadlocked with
Wilson and Western for second
place behind Central in the District
public high race, so It's only natural
that Zu should lick his chops when
visioning Central setback.
But it won't happen this week for

day. while Anacostia has to play
host to Wilson, also visioning a
Central defeat and the title. West
ern, enjoying the same dreams as
its second-place berthmates, will
play host to Tech.
Wilson and Western both will get
the chance to uproot Central In
future games, but Anacostia's op-
portunity was buried beneath a $50
onslaught three weeks ago.
But we have a much better team
now than when We played Central" /"
says zu, land If we get the chance
to play Central again in a playoff
things will be much different"
One of the reasons for Anacostia's s
roster grid outlook has been the
conversion of Ed (Alabarna) Burt
from end to fullback.
Burt didn't look too good at
end" said zu, although he played
that position last year. I needed
q big boy for fullback to bust
through the line and he is one of
the biggest boys on the squad, so I
tried him out. He looked good
against Gonzaga and even better
against Roosevelt. He isn't shifty;
he Is hard. straight-away runner
and hard to stop"
Burt, '6-foot-2 and 100 pounds,
says he likes nothing better than
smashing opposing lines and
wouldn't want to go back to play
ing end.
The winner Of the Anacostia- Will

behind Central. If Western wins,

EDITORIAL
OUR CABS
By Paige Strickland

In last Mondays edition of the Daily Express CMay
24th) there appeared an article concerning cab drivers
with a by-ine of Jimmie Jones. The article was designed
to give credence to the drivers. The purpose of the Ameri-
can free press, (and the American press is free, thank
God for America) is to portray factual news to the peo-
pie as we'll as to mold public sentiment. A good Journalist
writes the news as he sees it without being influenced by
anyon, as to what he shall write or when he shall write it.
The Express does not even remotely intimate the
abolition of the Colored Cab companies. They are def
nitely an asset to the city of Dayton and the owners de-
serve much credit for having the initiative to start these
companies. The Colored takes of Dayton look as we'll as
any cabs in the country. For the past several years this
writer has not seen a Colored Cab on the streets of Dayton
when it did not look as though it had been freshly washed
and polished.
While all cab drivers are not guilty of carelessness,
we do know that some few of them are. 1t is rumord that
the Yellow Cam company is considering using Negro driv-
ers in their company. And why shouldn't they !? Plans are
now being formulated to use Negro drivers with the city
bus lines. And why shouldn't they? Should an executive
of one of these companies pass a cab driver when he is
doing his "candy dance" Immediately he forms an opin-
ion of all Negro drivers.
