Showdown Colts Souqht,
Start of Pro Draft DELAYED

Ience last night. The coaches
didn't labor nightly and brought
forth mighty puny mouse.
The coaches decided, for ex-
ample, that in case of inclement
weather during the playing of a
game the ball shall be changed at
intervals of every five minutes.
They also urged the owners to
throw out the tackle-eligible play;
decided it would be a good idea to
number all players according to
positions (for example. ends would
be in the COS, tackles, 80, etc., and
decided to continue the ban on
aluminium cleats.
Probably their most important
decision was that the kicking
team should be allowed to down a
punt without it being foul. This
merely offsets the chance of a
double penalty, nullifying the
play, on a punt downed deep in
enemy territory.
NOTES -A Art Rooney, Pitts
burgh Steelers' owner, wants the
player limit reduced to 80, or even
28. men to help spread the better
players over a wider area.
George Marshall of the Redskins
will ask for 35 on the theory that
all clubs will lose men in the
military draft before the end of
the 81 season.
Buddy Parker, Bo McMillin'S
successor as head coach of the
Detroit Lions, seemed flabber-
gasted by Gerard Ramsey's an
nouncement that he Ramsey)
would be the Lions new line
coach. He'd make a good
coach,Y Parker said, "but I can't
talk to him or anybody else while
he's under contract with another
club" Parker wouldn't say
that he'll take Ramsey for an
assistant if the Cards release
him.
Marshall did disappearing act
last night and the supposition was
that he and George Halas met
to discuss league affairs in gen.
eral. The consensus here is
that Watner is in for more pro
football education if he asks Halas
for any favors. Watner is un-
decided whether to take Bob Will
liams. Notre Dame quarterback,
or Kyle Rote of Southern Meth
odist if he gets to keep the Colts
first draftee. But Ball and
most other coaches would take
Rote. if for no other reason than
that the Mustang ace is ga in the
draft, married with dependents,
while Williams is la, available
for immediate induction. The
Redskins plan to play at least
one, and possibly two games. in
Baltimore. next season if the Colts
fold. ;. One might be a league
game. Scooter Mclean. for

CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-National
Football League club owners met
in q secret session today in a re-
ported attempt to force show
down on whether the Baltimore
Colts will operate in 1851 or for
felt their franchise.
The meeting, held in the Black
stone Hotel suite of George Mar
shall, president of the Redskins,
delayed the draw for the bonus
player and the start of the regu-
lar draft of the nearly 400 college
seniors.
Marshall and Art Rooney of
Pittsburgh were reported to be
on the side of Abe Watner, the
Colts owner. Watner, who posted
another $4,000 check with the
league last week, was reported to
be seeking help from the other
IL clubs. The Colts need players
to bolster a team that won only
one game and finished last in the
league last season.
Wants to Keep Choice.
Watner is said to be trying to
cancel the deal which gives the
Bears the right to the first player
picked by the Colts in the draft.
This agreement would apply to
the bonus player if the Colts win
the bonus choice. The Redskins,
Bears, Eagles and Lions are ex-
cluded from this draw, each hav-
ing won a previous bonus pick.
1t was reported that Watner is
ready to operate the club-he was
it's chief financial backer last sea-
son-if given some assurance that
his losses will not exceed 10000
in 1851.
Since they finished last, the
Colts get first choice in the regu-
lar draft, but they traded this
right to the Bears last fall in
payment for Fullback Jim Spa
vital.
If Watner decides to throw in
the sponge, he will reclaim the
$50,000 check he deposited with
Commissioner Bert Bell last week,
or ask the league to freeze the
franchise for at least year. The
$50,000 is the second installment
on a bill of $150,000 owed the
Redskins for territorial rights.
The Redskins will toss a coin
with Green Bay and San Fran
cisco for the second draft choice.
In succeeding rounds the three
clubs will alternate positions. De-
troit, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
also have to resort to coin flip
ping to decide which draws first.
Grove Reported Out.
The Baltimore situation was
further complicated by the un-
expected arrival yesterday of Glen
Grove, head coach last year. who
Is reported to be out even if the
Colts remain in the league. Wayne
Millner, former Redskin end ano
Groves assistant last season, will
select the players for Watner
There are reports that Millner is
slated to succeed Grove.
Watner said he did not see
Grove yesterday. He parried ques-
tions about the coach's status
with the observation that "his
contract still has a year to run"
Somewhat different is the case
of Herman Ball of the Redskins,
who also is supposed to be on the
way out as head coach but who
will make the teams draft choices.
After the draft. the club owners
will take up such other matters as
television, player limits and the
five rules changes proposed by the
coaches after a two-hour confer

to expend it's talents as "host" in Madison
Square Garden.

Lillian Smith Predicts Segregation
In The South Will Go In 10 Years

FRANKFORT, KY. (NNPA) =
Miss Lillian Smith of Clayton,
Georgia, author of the onetime
best seller, Strange Fruit" said
last Tuesday that within ten years
"racial segregation as legal way
of life will be gone from Dixie. "
The author told 12O graduating
seniors at Kentucky State College
in a commencement address that
colored people have made great
strides toward equality in the past
ten years.
"The crumbling of the walls of
segregation is the big story IN
the South now," the silver-haired
author said.
More colored people are voting,
gaining admittance to facilities
formerly used exclusively by
whites, competing in sports with
white athletes, and entering state
supported southern colleges and

universities, Miss Smith pointed
out
"It is going to happen more
and more until every state school
and university in the South accepts
all of it's citizens, regardless of
color, as students.
II think in less than five years
all our graduate and undergrad
uate schools will be open to Neg
roes and whites. Five years? Let's
make it three. 1 doubt that even
Georgia can hold out three years,
although Herman Governor Tai
nladge of Georgia) is talking loud
against it, trying hard, and making
too many threats that are shocking
the people Of Georgia"
Miss Smith said there have been
no reports of violence between
white and colored students in
southern colleges. "Only the poll
ticians, the Klan and a few timid
newspapers have prophesied blood
she'd" she added.

Mr. Philips said Powell was
hiding behind "the cloak of con-
gressional immunity" in defaming
the birthplace of Booker T. Wash
ington, and in charging that the
proposed site of an all-colored vet
Grams hospital in Franklin County,
Virginia, at DR.. Washington'S
birthplace was owned by Phillips.
Powell made his charges just
before vote was taken last We'd
nesday on a bill sponsored by Rep
resentative John E. Rankin of Mis-
sissippi, chairman of the House
Veterans Affairs Committee, TO
erect an all-colored hospital at the
birthplace of DR.. Washington.
On the motion of Mr.. Powell,
on roll-call vote, the enacting
clause was stricken from the bill,
killing the measure.
Phillips said he went to Powells
office in the House Office Build
ing after the New Yorker had
hade his charges ito give him the
facts regarding the memorials
five-year record and also to insist
that he call the Recorders office
in Franklin County about mis-
ownership of land"
Powell refused to see him with
the excuse, II am too busy, Phil
lips said, adding:
ct is fantastic, in the light Of
all that the memorial has done in
such a short time, that Congress
man Powell should misrepresent
the truth of these accomplishments.
"We deplore segregation too. But
.vc are also trying to improve the
plight of our fellow citizens with
a positive program of self-help.
eff the congressman were seek
ing the truth, he would have found
ont that own no property in the
state of Virginia, that the affairs
of the memorial are in the hands
of q board of trustees, and that the
Board of Governors is composed
of some of the most outstanding
leaders in this country"
Phillips said Representatives
Thomas B. Stanley, Democrat, of
Virginia, and o. K. Armstrong,
Republican of Missouri, as well as
newspapermen, have visited DR..
Washington's birthplace. Since he.
could not see Powell when he
visited his office, Phillips said he
sent him a telegram inviting him
to visit The birthplace so that
there Will be no further misrepre-
sentation of our organization by
you.'
Just how Powell could get sthe
idea that the memorial association
is a "phony" one is mystery,
Phillips said, "when you consider
that we have given 200 Negroes
the ability to increase their earn
ings from an average of IS cents
an hour to $3.50 an hour"

First Thanksgiving in Mutanusku Valley Recalled by Pioneer Families

Harold Hale). Bill is now a Lieu tenant Colonel in the Air Corps Veterinary Command attached to Uffett Field near Omaha, Neb- raska. The others are still here for Thanksgiving, 1851.
 Mrs. Snodgrass taught school in Matanuska that first year in the Valley. The addition of her four elementary school-age children had made the school feasible operation. Roland had to go to Anchorage for high school, but he didn't like living away from the family. The next year, with Bill also in high school, Mrs. Snodgrass maintained home for the children in Anchorage dur ing the school year so that they could be together.
 The Thanksgiving dinner in 1924 was nothing fancy, as Mrs. Snodgrass recalls it. Most of the fare was Alaska-grown and pre- served. They didn't have turkey, but they did keep chickens; and that's what they had for Thanks giving. There were also low bush cranberries from the profuse patch in the woods below the bench.
