PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: In all the days of my
time up and down the Old Ave
hue, | never heard so much talk
among Parish Streeters about one
thing as took place following the
Misunderstanding game out at
jackson College. | just couldn't
get the full benefit of my Fish
and Beer, which | rushed back to
imbibe after the game was over
for having to listen to what was
being said and the questions put
to me about what went on during
the game and what | heard by
way of question, conversation,
and answers Saturday Night was
made all the more touching when
| got a long telegram Sunday
morning from down at Grambling
It's in Louisiana) which bore the
general subject and title 1--WE
WUZ ROBBED" Seeing what
| did as | was there, Charlie; and
hearing what heard, when | got
the telegram all | could say is
YOU WUZ TOO BROTHER. Like
everybody else in the old Mag
nolia State, I've been wishing for
the day and date, when college
football in Mississippi would be
brought up to the standard of
the leading colleges in other Sec
lions of the country. When
Alcorn and Jackson College, at
least, would quit feasting on little
fellows to pile up impressive rec
ords. So, | went out to the game,
like | figured was true of all the
rest of them people, pulling for
Alcorn to make real showing
against Grambling, which is one
OF the top teams in the nation. {.
but like the Grambling folks said
in the telegram every time / looked
up the Red Handkerchief was
falling and Grambling was going
back for Is and 25 yards :. what
made me feel so bad was that
every time the handkerchief fell
Grambling was in striking dis
lance of touchdown and
the worst aspect of it all was that
the red flag always fell from the
hand of an ex-Alcornite official of
the game. The Grambling
telegram said that WE WIZ
ROBBED but I. What | say
here is THE PUBLIC WAS
ROBBED. One thing that the
planners of football games here
must start remembering if they
are going to have some real high
class football and perform
before some really big crowds 5. !.
is that it is the public that pays
for the game and they're en-
titled to fair break And
from here on out, like Friend
Carsey Hall said in meeting of
the local Touchdown Club :.
the best way to keep the public
from being robbed no matter
who he is no official should
be allowed to act in game who
is a graduate of the contending
schools.
SOMETHING WE HATE TO
BELIEVE: Reports which reached
here this morning Wednesday,
of the death of DR.. E. M. Barron.
He died Tuesday night in the Me-
harry Medical College, Nashville,
Tenn. A one time Jackson Col
lege professor, his wife is the for
mer Miss Zee Anderson of Mound
Bayou. One of the youngest doc
tors in point of service in the
state, RI. Barron a, few months
ago started practicing in Indian
ola and was already pointed to
an outstanding success.
