fesional football, hanging on the
ropes because of a stubborn league
war, will have to make up it's mind
very soon what to do about next
year.
Up in Boston, the Yanks have
lost close to three quarters of a mil
lion dollars in four years of opera
tion-that's in the National league.
In the All American conference,
several weak teams have dropped
dough and it looks like the big top
teams r going to feel the pinch
this year. So, unless the boys get
together, they are going to kill all
the geese that have been laying the
golden eggs.
Meanwhile, there are several Ne
gro stars poisoning in collegiate
ranks who would grace any pro out
fit. Some of Them, including the
Yanks and the Yanks and the
Giants, sure need grazing" The
Giants thought they would play it
smart this year and signed up EN-
len Tunnel, Iowa star, to offset the
drawing power Of "Mr. Five by
Five" Buddy Young. But it was
nc dice. Buddy is too well known
and Tunnel, although a good back,
did not hayesthe good press colorful
Buddy has always commanded.
The Yanks, if they are smart and
plan to continue in the AAC should
scout around for two or three good
colored players-not just backfield
men like Casey and YoungAand
get them while getting is good.
And that goes for the rest of the
AAC too. Every time you pick up
a newspaper this fall you read some
thing in it about a colored football
player. Maybe the pro owners don't
read papers. But they had better
start-if they want to keep those
big parks filled.

SEWARD HIGH DEFEATS PALMER 26-l9

The Seward High basketball equad closed their scheduled 1947-l9i8 season by a well-won victory over Palmer at Palmer January 27th. Showing good teamwork and aggressive de- fense, the Seward quintet took the lead and held it from start to finish.
 Palmer won the previous night game 21-25. This game was a suc- cesslon of unsuccessful trips for goal. The ball would not go th- rough the hoop.
 Before playing Palmer the Sew ard squad stopped at Anchorage for two-game meet. Anchorage. as expected, won both games easily.
 Members of the Seward squad making the trip were Capt. Terry Fillingham, Bob Morgan, Don Steele, Bob Keefe. Willard Dun ham. Keith Gray, Jack Hoogland, Stanley Anderson, Antrel Suydam and Dickie Deigh.
 No special mention of any play CT can be mentioned for they all did their best.
 Anchorage and Palmer as hosts were exceptional. Lodging, enter- tanlment. and good companion ship and competition were pro- vlded by both schools. Anchorage High again came to the rescue with lodging when the Seward squad found themselves stranded by snoWslides on the railroad.

In the Negroes fight for deliv-
erance, the Negroes press is a
great right arm. The Negro who
does not subscribe to one or more
Negro newspaper and magazines
is recreant to a high and holy OBJ
legation. There was a time when
the voice of the Negro was muf-
fled, but with the arrival of the
Negro press the voice 0 fthe Ne
gro is becoming louder and more
insistent.
In fact it would be Difficult to
imagine the plight of the strug-
Cling Negroes withuot a press to
voice his complaints and his COM
pliments. Just how the Negro press
has grown to size and respecta-
bility within the last few years is
easily one of the epics of the age.
1t represents one of the modern
miracles o f the times.

extent that the press is subverting
its high and holy purpose. Just
the other day | ran across a young
Negro who had something on his
chest, but he did not dare to write
it lest he be castigated by some
who did not agree. This is unfor-
tunate and tragic. One of the
brighter signs of the times is not
only the Negro press growing
power but it's growing tolerance.

Between The Lines
By Dean G. B. Hancock for AMP

Ever and anon recur thoughts
of the moral heroism of n Rev.
Rabourn formerly of Mckae, Ga.
He defied Talmadge and Talmadg-
ism and took the consequences like
a man.
Here is a man for the movies
and for Hollywood! Any man with
sufficient courage to defy the late
Gen Talmadge Of Georgia deserves
a medal of honor from somebody.
There are so many whites who
will start, and others to GO part
of the way; but young Raburn
went all the way, and what is
more he did not quail when there
was a price to pay. Wherever the
Rev. Mr.. Raburn is today, there
is an honest-to-goodness martyr
of whom the world should be
proud.
Negroes must find some way Of
heroizing such noble souls. We
must never take such courage for
granted for it is too generally
lacking. If the south had a thou
sand whites and a thousand Ne
groes with the courage of Rev.
Raburn, this section would be rev.
olutionized in short order.
We found some way to tide our
earl yteacher martyrs over, when
they offered themselves on the
alter of the effort to secure equal
lid salaries. Almost all of these
teachers were reabsorbed into
some lucrative position, without
the teaching domain; and some
few survived the ordeal. But the
point is, some way should be found
whereby Negroes could stand up
for the whites who stand up for

With the growing power of the
press goes the solemn responsible
ity and obligation to use that
power with wisdom and discretion.
Nothing could be more tragic than
the fear of some Negroes to speak
their mind lest they be misunder-
stood, smeared and maligned. Ne
groes should be able to tell all
that is upon their hearts without
running the risk of being called
names by those who do not agree.
Hitlerism is just as bad among
Negroes as among Germans. The
extent that Negroes withhold their
opinions in fear that they will be
smeared and called names is the

them. Any stand against Tai
madge was a stand for Negroes.
In other words, standing for
righteousness should be made a
paying proposition. Martyrs to our
cause should not be soon forgot
ten, even though there are tenn
porarily at large. There is not the
slightest doubt that Rev. Raburn
of Talmade-defying fame will find
another charge; but if there is
aught that Negroes can to do help
him tide over, they should do it.
One of the most significant of
our inordinately large number of
"weeks" of divers persuasion is
Negro press week. A great hour
was struck in the strivings and
contrivings o fthe Negro race
where there is so much as a Ne
gro press week. Very few Negroes
take time to evaluate the func-
tons of the Negro press. 1t has
taken the crumbs that fall from
the press of the nation and nour-
ished itself into a giant of no
