An Americans Faith

This year at the commencement
exercises of Harding College a
notable address was delivered. II
was no ordinary speech. The burden
OF its message was so significant,
and the appeal so earnest, that /
wish the audience had been many
times larger. l am therefore taking
this method of passing to you q
portion of this solid and thoughtful
address. 1t was made by Mr.. Lamar
Fleming, Jr., of Houston, Texas.
This historic responsibility is
new to us. But those who view
accomplishments in the atomic
laboratories and the development
OF other terrible means of destruc-
ton must recognize that no one on
earth longer has the power to de-
eide whether he will live alone.
That power Of decision has passed
to those who are evil enough to :.
use terrible new weapons for their
evil designs-unless mankind COM
bines to prevent them from so
doing.
Our Call from Destiny
IF we accept that, being sons Of
God, we are brothers to all Man.
kind, and that we are the only ma
ton strong enough to lead Man.
kind to combine for suppression Of
violence and recovery of Peace, we
cannot reject the role to which our
Destiny calls us. We will cherish
the memory of more placid days,
when this responsibility was not
upon rs, but we cannot reject our
Destiny.
1--WE must enter this role in hui
mility, conscious of our shortcom-
ings and determined to overcome
them to the best of our ability. We
must search our souls. We must do
more than conquer the resistance
to truth which springs from our
animal instincts. We must chastise
all who seek to inflame and prey
upon our group grievances, greeds,
and hatreds. We must remind our
selves constantly that our duty Of
human brotherhood is no less to
distant peoples than to our
neighbors in our home towns.
Men of Good Will
1--WE must realize that peace and
well-being will not return to them
nor remain with us unless we
achieve the ability to work to-
gether in a brotherly and mutually
helpful company, each placing the
common good above the greeds and
ambitions Of any person, group, or
nation. We must include peo-
pies temporarily prevented from CO.
operation toward the common good
and must pray for the day when
their chains will be removed and
they will be free to join our COM
pany.
"Above all, we must require Of
this great undertaking that it func-
ton by the standards of millions of
individual consciences, which are
the communion of sons and daugh-
tiers with their Spiritual Father
not by group, party, or national
ethics, in which conscience gives
way to animal instincts, fears, and
passions Of the herd, and RESPONSE
bility is spread so thin that no one
feels it as his own. This calls for a
profound spiritual revival-in us,
and in all men and women of good
will.

St. Louis Earns Title
In nit as MacauIey
Runs Over N. Y. u.
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 18-There
wasn't any doubt today about the
class of the st. Louis University
basket ball team and It's stringbean
center, All-America Ed Macauley.
The Billikens from the banks of
the Mississippi put on a collective
show last night to overwhelm New
York University, 65-52, in the finale
OF the National Invitation Tourna-
ment at Madison Square Garden.
All the Bills displayed superb team
work, but Macauley was out
standing.
Six-foot-eight Ed, who looks as If
he might snap in half at any mo-
ment, came up with brilliant in
dividual performance as the Bills
gained berth in the Olympic
Games trials.
Macauley Voted Meets Best.
Macauley poured in "a points be-
fore he got tired shooting at the net
and was content to feed his mates
for the buckets that all but ran the
N. Y. U. Violets purple-faeed. He
was unanimously voted the tourna-
ment's most valuable player.
The preliminary consolation game,
won by Western Kentucky, 61-59,
after rough overtime tussle with
De Paul, provided most of the
evenings thrills.
Yet for all of the one-sidedness
of the main attraction the crowd
Of 1892 for the most part stayed
put and marveled at the hoop wiz
ardry Of Coach Ed Hickey's ST.
Louis proteges.
The Bills and Violets, who had
gone into the game rated even
after N. Y. us sensational victory
over De Paul Monday, started
slowly, feeling each other out.
ST. Louis got the feel first, and
finding 1t not bad at all, went to
work methodically and with utter
disregard for the touted Violets.
N. Y. U. Never i'm Game.
Controlling the ball for the most
part, st. Louis bore down after
Macauley made it 1875 with 10 min
utes gone. N. Y. u. saw little of
the ball and when the Violets did
gain possession they didn't appear
to know what to do with it. They
tossed 1t away half a dozen times
In the first half.
Coming onto the floor after lead
ing, 25-18, at halftime, the Bills
and Macauley broke the game wide
open. In four minutes they were
on top, $500, and Ed had made
nine Of the 10 points
With the count, 41-24, after 71a
minutes had gone by, Macauley had
"a points-the identical N. Y. U.
total. He never aimed at the basket
again and with five minutes re-
naming, he went to the bench to
stay.

Television Aids Turner'S, Matchmaker Sovs

Television is not hurting the
boxing business, says Gabe Men
endez, who ought to know. Gabe
is matchmaker for Turner'S
Arena. where fights have been
televised every Monday night
since December over WMAL-TV,
with Jim Gibbons at the mike.
Gabe has to keep an eye on the
box Office and figure why GUS
toners come or don't.
People told me that television
would hurt U.s." remarked Men
endez in reviewing three months
of video at Turner's. They said
the fight fans would sit at home
and see the show for free instead
Of paying their way in.
well, it hasn't worked out
that way. Television has made
fight fans of people who weren't
interested before and many come
to Turner's to- see the show
first hand. The same goes for
wrestling"
Gabe admits that occasionally
now a few Of his regular Gus
toners stay home, or visit a
friend who has television. But
the slack Is taken up by first
time fight-goers who become in
terested by first seeing a boxing
match over television. And over
the months, Gabe figures, his
gates are better than before.

D.C.WM MGo Bigtime in SoftboII
fKovukos' Dreams Come True
By Bill Fuchs

sportsminded Bill Kavakos,
night club entrepreneur, may
realize two cherished dreams
this summer putting WASH
ington on the big-league softbau
map and obtaining for the city
a suitable stadium in which to
hold semipro and amateur at
fractions.
The Kavakos softball team
already has crashed the big
league" It is member of the
American Softball Association
along with teams from six other
cities. But the stadium situation
is such that all of Washington's
first-half schedule has been
booked away.
Kavakos, who stands 5-11 and
weighs a solid 235 pounds, hasn't
given up the search.
I'VE have three sites in mind" ;"
he says. "One's at Queens
Chapel and Chillum roads and
another's at Gonzaga Field, on
Benning road"
Bill wouldn't divulge the third
site, but has a twinkle in his eye
which hints at something big.
I'D tell you If I could" he says,
"but I'm sworn to secrecy"
The District governments fail
ure to zone the Gonzaga field
makes it a hands-of proposition.
Kayakos can't understand why it
isn't zoned. Zoning Of the field
would permit the occupant to
collect money at the gate.
Kavakos, who fields teams In
almost every sport, says softball
was his first love.
Some people think it's q sissy
game" he says. They see groups
playing on the Monument
Grounds just to pass the time and
it looks easy, but with good. ex-
perienced pitchers and fielders,
it's just as exciting as hard ball.
"Softball pitching is harder to
hit, too. That's why pitchers
averages always are better than
