Illinois Has
Three Negroes
On Track Team

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. = CAMP =
The Illinois track team, where not
many years ago such as Herb Nc
Henley and Bill Mathis busted the
cinders, will feature three Negro
track men this year.
This trio includes Henry Cryer,
Dick Coleman, and Thomas Floyd.
Top rated member is Henry Cry
er, sophomore from DuSable High
in Chicago. Already he has crack
ed the schools indoor record in
the $50. His top time for the half
mile has been 1889 to beat the
old Illini mark of 1:545.
Coleman is junior from Canton,
Ill. This year he already has clear
ed better than IA feet in the pole
vault, but he is overshadowed by
his teammate, Don Lac, Captain of
the squad, who recently became the
second man to vault more than Is
feet.
Sophomore Thomas Floyd of
Gary, Ind, is expected to show
progress in the high jump depart
ment. At present he is not expect
ed to be a meet winner, as his top
leap has been only feet 2 inches.
To return to Coleman, it may be
noted that he is left handed vaul-
ter, whom his coach, Leo 7. John
son, predicts will become the
greatest left-handed vault in his
tory"

Atlantic MONTHLY
Lauds f. Waters

Ethel Waters, whose singing and
acting have brought honor both to
her and her race, is the subject
of an trticle in the current (March)
ssue of The Atlantic Monthly
which describes in detail the in
cldent which she herself consid-
ers the turning point Of her ca
reer.
Under the title "Mamba's
Daughter" the magazine features
he portion of Miss Waters re-
emily published autobiography
7hich traces the history of her
appearance as Hagar in the stage
reduction of DuBose Heyward's
'Mamba's Daughters"
Introducing the article with the
words ETHEL Waters is great
American artist, but few who saw
the triumph that she scored as
liagar in 'Mamba's Daughters
realized how closely that play
touched on her own life," the mag
azine traces in Miss Waters own
words the comparison between the
trials experienced by her own
mother, Louise, and the fictional
Hagar.
Identifying the part of Hagar
as the most exciting prospect"
of her career and admitting her
early knowledge that "Mamba's
Daughters" would be a theatrical
knockout" Miss Waters adds:
"But even more exciting was its
being a play ripped out of the life
I'd always known and was still
living. Even when | read it for
the first time | understood in
stinctively that there could be no
greater triumph in my profession
al career than playing Hagar.
All my life I'd burned to tell the
story of my mothers despair and
long defeat. 'Mamba's Daughters
was tragedy and story of
courage, with Hagar, like my
mother, meeting it all with her
heart up, never once doubling her
God, and furiously intent on stay
ing a person no matter how tricked
and buffeted and besmirched and
bruised"
The Atlantic article also tells
of the part which Miss Waters
played in casting other notewor-
thy Negro actors in "Mamba's
Daughters particularly her part
in securing Willie Bryant for the
controversial role of Gilly Button,
the william of the piece.

biography is currently appearing

of 57-56 slap by Jackson Col

been 26 game winning streak.
Other victors over the Braves
were Wherefore State and Sou
thern University. The quint, how
ever, retaliated to Southern with
three straight victories.
Early in the season, the Missis-
sippi basketeers showed their

they whizzed their magic around

feat.
Taking their final lap in Texas,
Fishers boys racked up four
straights with Texas State Univer-
sity falling victim for the second
time. Paul Quinn, Sam Houston,
and Tillotson succumbed under the
devastating whirlwind of the daz-
cling five.
With five players hitting the
bucket for more than 200 points
each, the Braves earned 66.8 Of
fensive average and 49.1 defen-
sive average. Holloway and Ken
nedy share high point honors with
304 each and a 1913 average per
game. Trailing but not too far
behind are: Garner, with 259-9.2;
Price, 254-9; Buckley, 204-7.2; and
Hurst, 1865.
Laverne "Joe Baby" Kennedy
and William (Captain) Price, both
all-conference players for three
consecutive years, and highly fav-
ored for the fourth year, will make
the last roundup during the tour
nament. Their names no doubt

The "Circlin' the Bases" is too
glad to bring you red hot news
of Bob Boyd. regular first sacker
for the Memphis Red Sox for the
past four seasons. Boyd is the
first Negro ball player to report
for Chicago White Cox spring
training. He left February II en-
route to Kansas City where other
players will accompany him to
Pasadena for a six weeks training
period.
Fans throughout the Delta re-
member Boyd with his hitting as
q Red Soxer. He was the leading
hitter for the team. Memphians
are pulling for him, they feel that
he deserves a break to perform his
duties in the major league.
Personally, l think he is a nat
ural hitter. He has hit all types
of pitching in the Negro American
League and has, never hit under
$50 and that is top notch in any
mans league. The old slugger
became feared by all pitchers
when he hit nine home runs in
five days. | will never forget
those happy nights because that
hitting streak carried the Red Sox
to % straight victories last sea-
son and thus accounts for the
team coming out on top for the
last half.
AS manager of the Red Sox
team, | will miss Boyd more than
others. | have three first basemen
but no Bob Boyd.
For the benefit of the readers,
Boyd is the second Red Soxer to
go to the majors. He follows Dan
Bankhead and several more play
ers are being scattered by the big
bows in the big show
This paper joins me in wishing
Boyd luck on the new field.
There are only eight days be-
fore the opening of the Negro
Delta Baseball School here in

Credit Union
Officials Meet
AT Tuskegee

Tuskegee Institute, Ala, Feb.
27-Julius M. Sparkman, Field
Representative, Alabama Credit
Union League, met with officials
of three credit unions in Macon
County this week at the Veter-
ans Administration Hospital. The
three credit unions sponsoring the
meeting were: Crossroads Federal
Credit Union, Tuskegee Institute
Federal Credit Union, and Veter-
ans Administration Federal Credit
Union. The purpose of the meet
ing was to discuss ways by which
the work of credit unions might
be made more effective. Mr..
Sparkman pointed out that there
are los credit unions in Alabama.
These 105 credit unions have about
seventy thousand members, and
about ten million dollars in as
sets. The largest credit union in
Alabama has three million dollars
in assets. Emphasis was given to
the fact that out of Alabama's
population of three million, only
seventy thousand are enjoying the
benefits Of credit union member
ship. The following insurance
features were discussed:
1. LIFE SAVINGS INSUR-
ANCE: Savings in these credit
unions are matched by insurance
on the lives of members. Within
liberal age limits, members
savings are matched dollar for
dollar. If at the time which he
saved before reaching age fifty
five, his family will receive two
thousand dollars in cash-one
thousand representing his savings,
and one thousand dollars the
company. No other financial in
stitution does SO much to encour-
age thrift. Premiums on this in
surance are paid by the credit
union. No physical examinations
are required.
2. LOAN INSURANCE: All
loans made from these credit
unions are insured. If a member
becomes permanently disabled be-
fore age sixty, or dies before age
seventy, the entire balance due on
the loan (plus interest) will be
paid by the insurance company
The credit union pays the prem
iums on loan insurance. No phys
ical examination is required.
8. OTHER FORMS OF INSUR-
ANCE: Members of credit unions
may also carry at their own ex-
pense life insurance policies of
their own selection on their own
lives, and or the lives of members
of their immediate families. Rates
on this insurance are usually at
tractive. Each credit, union treas
urer has book giving complete
information on insurance offered
through CUNA MUTUAL INSUR-
ANCE~ SOCIETY, of Madison,
Wisconsin. This company is
owned, completely, by credit un-
ions in the United States and
Canada.
Mr.. Sparkman's visit has slim
ulated considerable interest in the
local organizations according to
credit union officials here.
