primarily because they are housed
on the other side Of the city, but
| have been told we have 9 fine
looking girls as well as stellar
performers.
The swimmers sat and stood in
a bunch near the parking lot wait
ing for a bus to carry them to the
Wemberly pool for practice. All
the time spent there watching
those fellows, | could not help
from wishing we had at least one
Negro swimmer good enough to
make the team.
The biggest surprise Of the aft
ernoon was when learned that
we (the United States) had a field
hockey team entered in the games.
Al first l thought a few fellows
were just fooling around with
hockey sticks and balls, but the
skill with which they handled the
sticks made me ask questions.
To us Americans who have
been going to the Olympic Village
daily looking for news and ath-
letic excitement, this hustle and
hustle the Yanks have brought to
the Olympic camp, is soothing to
our nerves. We are moved closer
to home, because it is our natural
way Of doing things. The foreign
ers look at the Americans with
amazement, because he does not
waste any time getting about his
work once he has gotten to his
destination.
So, the Egyptians, Iranians,
Filipinos, Jamaicans, French, and
East Indians, who were in the
Olympic Village first, and enjoyed
the Characteristic English quiet
ness, can either get used to the
hustle, hustle, and noise Of the
many Americans, or make other
living arrangements. am sure
these things, which are character
istic to Americans, will last as
long as the Yanks are there.

SPIRITUALS: - Carol Brice is

Best jazz side Of the week is by
Red Nichols and his Pennies on
Capitol.
Using voicing quite like that
Of the old Kirby unit, they play
the rhythmic IF l HAD YOU
and the slow LOVE is THE
SWEETEST THING. Topnotch
solos by Nichols and Heinie Beau
feature both. Hank D'Amico,
another fine clarinetist, leads
small group through two excel
lent sides on National backed by
such stars as Cory Cole, frankie
Newton, Don Byas and others.
Titles are HANKS FRANKS and
JUKE BOX JUDY, both with
phenomenal beat.
For your taste of bop, grab the
Charlie Ventura National of
EAST OF SUEZ in which Shelly
Name, Kai Winding and Lou
Stein have big parts. It's unusual
and decidedly fascinating, what
with its use Of odd harmonics
and bop scat with an Oriental
accent. Pairing finds Ventures

Swing: - Bullnoose Jackson

MOOSE ON THE LOOSE which

overworked riff, although the
dynamos are fine. Flipover is
MEMPHIS GAL, a blues. d.
Barclay Allen is versatile and
does many things we'll. His BAR
CLAY'S BOOGIE on Capitol is
competent, slick and has a good
beat but the feeling just isn't
there. On the other side he again
gets into Latin rhythm with the
well done GREEN EYES.
REISSUES: -- Decca has made
available a number of sides long
in demand by collectors. How
Stan Kenton sounded nine years
ago is shown on REED RAP
TURE and CONCERTO FOR

MRS. CURRY RETURNS

Mrs. Charles Curry, 1886 Fifth
Ave. So, returned late in July
from almost two months in Los
Angeles, where she went to attend
her daughter, Lorraine Curry,
who was injured in an auto
crash.
While in California Mrs. Chas.
Curry spent time with Mrs. VIM.
Luke, Mrs. D. S. Taylor, and
Mrs. Havanah Woodford. Mrs.
Curry was extended many social
courtesies from Twin Citians
during Lourraine's convalescent
period. While there her son
Charles, Jr., sent her a round-trip

though, because all the athletes
housed there were English in
raising.
Well, the Yanks speeded up that
tempo. There has been a steady
stream of Americans to the laun-
dry with huge bundles Of soiled
clothing; the tea-smel in the ath-
lete's luncheon base given way to
the aroma Of good old American
coffee; the post Office boxes are
literally bullying with red, white,
and blue bOrdered airmail envel-
opes; and the Olympic Village in
general is noisier than one OF
those old-time American carni-
walls.
Many of the other teams COM
ing from countries much closer
than the United States, took of
two or three days to get rid Of
their "sea-legs," but not those
bloody Yanks." They were out on
the track two hours after their ar
rival in their quarters a-running
and a-jumping as If they never
left home.
The weight lifters and boxers
weren't far behind the trackmen
in their preparation for a work
out. The weight lifters, led by
our own invincible Davis, filed
across the parade ground in good
old Indian fashion to the gym
nasium set aside for them on the
other side Of the parade ground.
The boxers started their workout
before they had arrived at the
gymnasium. They shadow-boxed
and jumped rope all the way from
their living quarters to the boxing
gymnasium. At first, thought we
had an all-Negro boxing team
representing the United States,
because the first six boxers who
came out were Negroes. Later l
learned only eight out Of the 10
were Negroes $50 per cent isn't
bad, thought
Even eight out Of l6 isn't too
bad (from our standpoint Of view
but when the percentage goes up
to 0 out Of IL, that old Nordic
APPLICANT is certainly upset.

SPORTS ROUNDUP [ s""~. .~..
Cubs open spring training with
hopes for improved pitching

Memories haunted the Chicago
Cubs this week as they went into
spring training at Los Angeles
Unless their pitching improved
over last year, they had little
chance of reaching the first divi-
sion. So the Cubs put their hopes
in Cherokee Hank" Wyse, who
did some of the most brilliant
hurting in the league in 1914, 1945,
and 1916. Early reports from the
camp indicated that Wyse, who
had nine defeats against six vic
tories last year, may recover his
old style in 1913. M No.
Bill Nicholson, whose batting
did so much for the Cubs in 1884
and 1914, was ar other worry. The
Cubs were hoping that he'd bet
ter his 1947 average: PA.
But at least one perennial ques-
lion was pretty well out of the
way: the holdouts. peanuts"
Lowrey, truculent at first, came
to terms on the second day of
training, leaving Emil Kush, re-
lief pitcher, as the only remaining
holdout. Kush apparently was
bargaining on the basis of the
clubs weak pitching staff

ID ETWEEN sips at the last
b meeting of the @Barroom
Ten," of which I am a charter
member, we were discussing
Smiling Ed McKeever, the
new coach of the Chicago
Rockets, and his expose of ath-
letic conditions at the Univer-
sity of San Francisco, the school
from which he recently re-
signed as head coach. We unan-
imously voted M K eever
''Peck's Bad Boy" of the sport
ing world.
When Ed called the attention
of university authorities, as well
as Pacific Coast Conference ex-
ecutives, to the doubtful eligi-
bility of host of San Francisco
players who were expected to
represent the school in 1913
competition, the coaching fra
ternity was aStounded and fab
bergasted.
This wasn't cricket. McKeever
was opening the guarded
door and letting out the family
skeleton of professionalism in
college sports. The fans are not
supposed to know that the pride
of old "P.U." State is paid a
salary. Heaven forbid!
WE ARE supposed to go on
year after year thinking that
the star halfback is giving his
all for the glory of his dear
old alma mater and not for the
purpose of sending himself
through school and having a
little extra change to see the
high spots of campus life.
Only the coaches and the big
wigs in the alumni association
are supposed to know the true
conditions. When McKeever let
the public in on it, he was
rushed into the coaches dog
house faster than Bowser could
say "Woof."
Don't worry, Ed, you are not
in our dog house, and to prove
it you can come down to the

Reorganization of Progressive
Party ward units got underway
this week, on the heels of a de-
cision by the Progressive Citizens
of America to merge with the
third party on the ward level.
Zal Garfield, executive director
of the Progressive Party, urged
all ward organizations to call
large meeting of all progressive
forces in each ward - especially
unions-as soon as possible"
The new Progressive Party ward
clubs, based partly on the PEA
groups, will be set up at the
meetings.

By next weekend, Garfield an

terials for ward workers will be
ready at Progressive Party head
quarters, including a leaflet an
swering common questions about
the Wallace candidacy, booklets
containing 10 application cards to
the various divisions of the cam
paign, and membership applica-
tons to the Progressive Party,
which, uriike. the old-ljne parties,
will aim for mass membership.

Football IS big money

in a stadium at three bucks
a head five time a year, that's
money, brother. The big time
colleges should come out and
admit they operate their sport
ing set-up on a professional
basis and give the players a
break.
The time has come when the
college player should be a re-
spected business man, doing a
first rate job scholastically as
well as athletically and being
well paid for it; instead of the
tramp athlete going from one
campus to another as he is in
many instances today.

THERE is no doubt in his
mind about the game being on
the up and up, for when boy
IS receiving adequate compen-
sation there is less likelihood
of sharpe attempting to fix
a game.
Thanks again, Ed, for bring
ing things out into the open.
From now on it's up to the fans
and college officials.
You know, you might be an
asset to the Rockets after all.
If you can get first class ball
players for 40 to 20 dollars a
