Carolina May Get Cotton
Bowl Bid Sometime Todov

Dallas, Nov. 90 -(AP) The
odds today appeared to favor
Southern Methodist and North
Carolina in the Cotton Bowl.
There was nothing official and
the name Of the visiting team
being sought was kept a closely
guarded secret, but unofficial
sources said Southern Methodist's
football squad, host team in the
Dallas New Years Day bowl
game, voted North Carolina as
their preference. Now it's up to
the Cotton Bowl to get the Tar
Heels.
Dan D. Rogers, chairman of
the board of the Cotton Bowl Ath-
letic Association. said announce
ment of the visiting team would
be made this afternoon.
The squad, which clenched the
host spot in the Cotton Bowl for
the second straight year by beat
ing Baylor 1873 last Saturday,
voted in secret yesterday after
noon. Coach Matty Bell would
not reveal the choice and Meth
er would bowl officials.
Reports indicate that the Or
ange Bowl is giving the Cotton
Bowl strong competition for
North Carolina, an unbeaten, one
tied team that whipped Texas of
the Southwest Conference 34-7.
The Cotton Bowl offers $1O5,000
to each team-more money than
the Orange Bowl affords.
The fans already were talking
about meeting of two of the
nations greatest hacks -Doak
Southern Methodist's All
and Charlie (Choo-
Choo) Justice Of the Tar Heels.
1t was reported that next to
North Carolina, the SMU play
ers chose Georgia, then Oklaho-
ma, Tulane and Clemson. The
after, an unbeaten team, report
edly is welcoming bid to the

West Point, N. Y, Nov. 23-
(AP)-Army not only has a two
platoon football team but is ha.
a two-platoon coaching staff as
well.
Head Coach Earl Blaik of the
Cadets, now preparing for the
annual clash with Navy at Phil.
adelphia Saturday, has carried
the two team idea so far that
each half of the squad has its
own practice field. some so yards
apart.
And to keep the offensive and
defensive lineups as distinct as
possible the two squads never
scrlmmage each other. II the
offensive team scrimmages, 1t
takes it out on an eleven made
up of offensive squad reserves.
The same is true of the defensive
team.
The two practice fields are con-
nected by a path, made by Blaik
as he supervises both practice
sessions and by the new players
who are in both units.
Sidney Gilman, nominally the
line coach, is in charge Of the
offensive team with 1t. J o h n
Sauer and 1t. Robert st. Onge
as his assistants. The defensive
team has Paul Anne as its chief
with 1t. John Green a n d
Clarence F. Boston as Amen's
aides.
Although Army this year Is all

any, the usual pre-game fever

Tonight the champ takes on

Everywhere the champ shows,
he's been packing them in. Louis
will have earned more than $780,

Paterson. The champ works on
a percentage and so far every
one is happy, Mendel said.
"1f the champ wants to con-

Mendel declared. "And if he

New York, Nov. 23-(P)-
Michigan rules the roost in col.

With 1o5 Of 100 first place

Michiga finished its season Sat-

two more games to play.
There were few radical

Father Wycislo disclosed that
preliminary surveys in the respec-
tive dioceses of this area show there
are housing and employment op-
portunities for these people. The
greatest needs for their services is
in the rural areas where there is
also plenty of housing facilities for
them. He then pointed out that
because of the present housing
shortage no plans can be made to
settle the DPS in the cities except
where their relatives are prepared
to take thm into thir own homes"
"The DPS" Father Wycislo,
stressed, Cannot return to their
homelands because they are in
deadly fear of the communists who
are in power there. They are unal-
terably opposed to communism and
all it stands for. They want more
than anything else a chance to
start life anew-to have a job and
life for the future. We can certain
ly give them this opportunity with
out disturbing our economy de-
priving one of our citizens a job
or a home"
"Since there is now hope that
Congress will pass legislation in
this session permitting the admis-'
sion of a reasonable number of Dis
placed Persons into the United
States," Father Wycislo said, "the
various States have been making
plans for their reception. The VOL
untary organizations: Church
World Service, War Relief Servi-
ces-National Catholic Welfare Con-
ference and the United Service for
New Americans have had an op-
portunity of working with other
states in making plans for the
bringing together of information in
regard to employment and housing
opportunities for the resettlement
of displaced persons. Since the
West has occupied a traditional
position of leadership in progress
sive social welfare movements
throughout the country, it is hoped
this leadership will not be last in
meeting the problem of DPS in
which our Federal Government has
already assumed leadership. The
government of the United States is
committed to giving the displaced
persons of Europe an opportunity
for resettlement in other countries.
It cannot very well participate sue
cessfully in this program without
admitting its fair share of the dis
placed persons to the United
States"

Third, as the thinking Negroes
establish themselves in the minds
of the better white citizens of the
State as being a. force for good in
the state rather than a drag upon
it, attitudes toward the Negroes
will change. Perhaps the day will
be hastened when such thinking
citizens of the state as those repre-
sented in the NPC will see fit to
sponsor an Initiative Measure to
abolish the diabolical system of
jim-crow schools in the State of
Arizona. The good citizens who will
put over this good measure will
have the know-how of putting over
another good measure
Be that as it may, each citizen
will do well to remember this: Bad
situations due to liquor establish
ments come from lack of proper
control.
Once the situations develop, those
which cannot be controlled by law,
will be controlled by "mobs," +"
"moIls," "finger-men," gunner and
henchmen.

Guest Editorial

Petitions are being circulated
among the voters of Arizona for
voters to sign in order to. place on
the ballot an initiative measure
which, if passed, will give the voters
increased controls over traffic
through State governmental ma
chinery. Hats off to the Neighbor-
hood Protection Committee of Tue
son for the idea.
The proposal has four detectives:
1. All applications for liquor Ii
cenSeS will be made to a central
and responsible authority.
2. Applicants will have to be law
abiding persons of suitable charac-
ter.
3. Property owners, churches, and
schools will be required to pass
upon the location of a liquor estab-
liShment in the immediate vicinity
of their real property.
4. The right of appeal of liquor
law decisions to the State Supreme
Court will be assured.
1t is far-sighted legislation such
as this that will tend to give future
protection to, our young State of
Arizona from the highly undesira-
BILE conditions which have plagued
the cities of many of our Eastern
States.
Negroes, in particular, will be in
tereSted in this bill. There are few
Negroes who have not ait one time
or another suffered the displeasure
of living in an area which would
have been a much more wholesome
home locality for themselves and
their children had there not been a
"bucket-of-blood liquor joint" with
in a stones throw of the family
fireside. Many people think Negroes
like to live in the midst of the con-
fusion that is produced by loud and
profane and uncontrolled situa-
tionS. Negroes know better.
There are three especially good
reasons why each voter in general
and the Negro voter in particular
will read carefully this petition and
do what he thinks is right about it.
First, it will protect neighbor-
hoods that are decent for homes,
churches and schools.
Second, it will give the average
voter first hand knowledge and fa-
miliarity with the legal methods by
which citizens can make use of his
prize privilege of the ballot for con-
Structive purposes.

THE PLAGUE OF COMMUN-

government to put into practice
it's theory of democracy by ex-
tending democracy's benefits and
privileges to all of its citizens.
Negroes want DEMOCRACY, NOT
COMMUNISM. They will answer
their country's "call to arms"
against any foreign foe because
they want democracy to survive.
Meantime they will be unceasing
and unrelenting in their fight
against the enemies of democracy

their full citizenship rights.
PAUL ROBSON has sung the
Negroes way into the hearts of
thousands of white people many

stage? Will he be as potent as
a propaganda as he was as an
ambassador of Negro art and cul-
ture? History will give the an

may pursue. He will never sell
