GRAMBLING COLLEGE, LA,-Deep in the woods of La,
Gramblng college found BY does pass thru
her boundaries goes to Gramblng Gazing the spa
cious campus the students here, observe the usual
of the mill everywhere My mind goes back the days of
ustrious founder Dr. Charles p Adams Surely Dr. Adams
must have had vsonto oresee that someday from the heart
of this wilderness would stand citadel of learning for the
deprveged boys and girls Dr. Ralph Jones' the of
Dr. Adams quiet unassuming progressive and dynamic lead
in educational circles has magned widest dreams
the founder fourod The building program here huge
new dormories library, dining hail. and gymnasium
derWay.
Spacious rooms in each dormitory with built in closets
book shelves, modern furniture head lights the
each bed makes observer fully cognzant that the buildings
here built for the students and for their comfort pu
suit of knowledge AS the above flashed my thinking
with lightning like dpdty could not resist the appealing
temptation to awaken the thinking of spectators coaches
officials to give the game of football back to boys.
Poor officiating has done football in Negro
colleges than pyramdng of all other There
reason Tor Negro officials not calling the they it,
and why they fail to render the proper decision all
The peeunay reward powerful and potent factor that has
inevitably itself into the various systems
Most of the officials teachers in high colleges
and the S25 30 fee first class transportation and meals
add up to nice weekend earning suppementing school
salary Now many coaches have capitalized the weaknesses
OF officials by offering them the opportunity increase their
earnings thru employment at their games Thus close
eisions that determine the turn of officials have natural
ruled in favor of the coach that has buttered
ever some OF the men who the striped shirts have not been
SO dscreehey obviously cheat Since longer
appoint officials many conferences, game should be
cleaner faster and actually coorf But still exist
feeling of obligation by officials of old debt seemingly
never to be paid
This indictment hurled at all officials but with no
mdity it is boldly thrust upon many. And going to ex-
pose every crooked deal from herenon officiating
cheating has got to and quickly will dedicate page
snow to the public the play and the decision the official and
the coaches involved have fist fly like showers of
upon team this and broken swollen lips eyes
that bore baeknes of night saw four officials refuse
TO call penalties in this game and those officials must
I've clean pass-compeions ruled incomplete forward
passes and receivers held showed with hand while the
defenders bat the ball away with the other with officials right
on the play I've IDS called back from yards away by
officials who out of position rule the play and those
who could call the play stand like dummies and proclaim
they did not know how rule.
These conclusions have reached % Most officials do not
know the rule of the game; ~ The officials
year take do not enough material the examiners show
preference (3 That drinking before the game be em
Mated ca That officials decide before the game will
wn and 90 That officials show preference coaches
LETS GIVE THE BOYS CHANCE!
