Grid Madness
Strikes Nation
With Full Slate
Nv z coRRIcAN

NEW YORK R - Autumn'S an
nual madness, college football,
swings into full stride tonight and
tomorrow from coast to coast with
every major team in the country
scheduled to get into action.
Headed by Michigan State, the
No. 1 team in the preseason As
ISOLATED Press poll, the big boys
will flex their muscles against OPP
ponents who, for the most part,
will not play dead when they show
up.
State for example, opens with
no less an adversary than Michi-
gan. The Spartans, who won't
count in the Big 10 standings until
next year, rule a two-touchdown
favorite over the sophomore-laden
Wolverines.
Tonights action also is heavy
with some intersectional tussles
that will have a bearing on the
final outcome in December. South
ern California, which has preten-
tons toward the Pacific Coast
Conference title, entertains North
western of the Big 10 - almost
like a Rose Bowl game.
The result should give some indi-
cation of how serious challenge
the two schools can throw up
against the favorites of the con-
ferences - California on the coast
and Illinois in the Midwest.
California and illinois, inciden-
tally. appear to have es-" tasks
Pappy Waldorf's Golden Bears
are prohibitive favorites to trounce
Missouri and Illinois goes against
Iowa State, which proved that it
could score when it dashed South
Dakota State last week.
From an audience standpoint,
the big one will bring together 4
pair of old Ivy League rivals -
Princeton and Columbia - in New
York. The game will be the weekly
televised contest of the NCAA's
program. It will be beamet
throughout the country except in
the Philadelphia area, which will
show the Penn-Notre Dame fray.
Princeton, which owns the long
est winning streak among the ma
jor colleges - "a games - will
be the choice.

The Key West High School Foot

The Key West High School Foot
ball squad left by bus early this
morning for Pahokee where they
wi &c that club in an effort to
rack up their second win of the
current gridiron season.
Coach Ed Beckman reports that
his s. d is in good sha~ both
mentally and physically and that
If the locals can solve the Pahokee
split T formation and get their
passing attack functioning, they
should score a repeat of last years
1876 victory.
The biggest worry for the ConchS,
Beckman said is overconfidence
stemming from last weeks easy
victory over Gesu High of Miami,
The return of Ralph White to the
lineup, after he was incapacitated
due to an injury is expected to help
the Conch defensive setup to a
great extent.
Again Joe Pineda and Don Cruz
are expected to handle the brunt of
the Key West attack, Pineda with
his good right arm to heave pass
es and Cruz with his snake hipped
running ability. John Vernette and
Lucy Gonzalez will be on tap to
block and handle Pineda'S aerialS.
Coach Web Pell of Pahokee re-
ports that his boys, in their seasons
opener are loaded for bear in an
effort to avenge last seasons de-
feat here. Pell has a goodly number
of holdovers and a strong line is
expected to harrass the Conchs.

Of three articles on Heavyweight
Champion Rocky Marciano1
By MURRAY ROSE

NEW YORK Up - Like most box
ing champions, Rocco Marchegl-
ano, better known as Rocky Mar
comes from a humble home.
Born on Sept. l, 1924, Rocky is
the eldest son of an Italian imml-
grant who migrated to the busting
shoe manufacturing town of Brock
ton, Mass. Rocky has two brothers,
Louis and Peter, and three sisters,
Alice. Concetta and Betty.
His 58-year-old father, Perrino
Marchegiano, was gassed during
the first world war while serving
overseas with the AEF. His mo-
Their, Pasqualena, is a short, stout,
black-haired woman whose eyes
fill with tears when she talks about
Rocky.
Rocky was destined to be a
champion. Shortly after ne let
loose his first boiler as a 13Ia-
pound baby, his father received a
congratulatory card with the i'm
print of a pair of boxing gloves
on it. The card: Hail to the
champ"
His mother didn't like the idea of
Rocky being fighter. She never
has seen him fight
A bruising football center and a
baseball catcher in his pre-fight
days, Rocky likes tough contact
sports. He likes the attention he
gets although he is very modest
about il. He never has disappointed
an autograph seeker.
Il like TO fight. l hope TO so or
fighting for a long time" said
Rocky following his knockout of
Jersey Joe Walcott to win the
heavyweight title after less than
five years as a pro fighter.
The dollar still is a big thing
with Rocky although he soon may
be a millionaire. He never had
much spending money when he
a kid.
Now that he can have anything
his heart desires, he still delights

The Horned Frogs don't figure to
lose two in row, but if they do,
Texas probably will take over the
favorite'S post.
Kansas victory over TCUcame
as a surprise and if the JayhawkS
look good again, they might make
it a fight with Oklahoma for the
Big Seven championship. The Soon
ers play the University of Colora-
do, which should present no prob
lem.
The nations sports writers and
SportscaSters voted the University
of Maryland the No. 2 team before
the season started but on the basis
of the Terrapins' last-ditch 1910
win over Missouri, it's doubtful if
they'd be accorded the same spot
if another poll were taken now.
They will be out to regain their
lost prestige against Auburn.
Georgia Tech, another power
house, and probably the best team
in the South, warns up gainSt
Florida. Tennessee, which finished
on top of the heap last year and

will turn out tonight to see an
inexperienced University Of Miami
football team open a tough IL
game schedule against Virginia

Although most of the stars who
carried Miami to the Orange and

point favorites when they line up
for the kickoff at s:15 pm. EST.
VMI dropped its opening con-

up with preseason exhibition

NEW YORK-Why is it that
New York is being so persistent
in trying to sell a fair employ
ment practices commission to the
rest of the nation?
One answer can be found in

how II would work in another
area might be another story.
At Chicago, the New York DEM
ocratic delegations first choice
for President was AvereIl Harri-
man who had advocated federal
F'EPC. Finally 1t switched over to
Governor Stevenson who is on the
record in favor Of state legisla-

Earlier Gov. Thomas f. Dewey
had spoken glowingly of New
York's FEPC law during Gen.
Dwight d. Eisenhower's visit here.

cent covered a variety of grounds.
Opponents OF a compulsory fed
eral law point out that success on
the state level is no assurance
that a national law would be use

say: II compulsion is not prac-
ticable even on the state level and
in the North, why expect it to be
so on the national level when ap-
Piled in the South? The kind of
evidence offered by Mr.. Edwards
is wholly unpersuasive to those
who object to compulsory federal
action.
Many Americans feel that even
on the state level equally good re-
suits could be attained by state
commissions similar to the nom

Mark Ethridge during the war
Nevertheless, the record Of New

had experience with FEPC legis-

JOTTING DOWN A FEW NOTES

PARIS - CAMP -- Down the
Champs Elysees there are many
movie houses that show first-run
American films (first-run for
Paris) with French sub-titles
This is where we go to cure home
sick spells.
Also for homesick days there
are places called Bar American"
These little cabarets are full of
tourists, students, celebrities, and
entertainers who entertain with
real artistry because they want
the customers to enjoy themselves.
In most of the small places the
"tros intime" atmosphere consists
of a small place where people
have to be friendly because the
area won't allow for much dis
lance It's quite different from
our night club patterns. For one
thing DRINKS are seldom seen in
Paris. After six months I've seen
only two, and one was not identi-
fiably Partisan.

Bios In Educofion
Still Hampers U. S.
Negroes & Jews

CHICAGO - (ANP) - Despite
efforts in recent years to break
down racial segregation and dis
elimination in colleges, minority
groups still do not have an equal
opportunity for education.
That fact was disclosed last
week in a report by Miss Helen
E. Amerman, of the University Of
Chicago, at a five-day conference
on research in race relations at
the university.
Here are some of the facts pre-
sented in Miss Amerman's report:
The school enrolment for the
white population far exceeds that
for non-white.
More than 90 percent of the
381 Negroes who earned doctor
ates between 1875 and 1913 were
these engaged in teaching.
There are gross inequalities, in
segregation, between white and
Negro schools. To equalize the
white and Negro elementary
schools in the South alone would
cost more than $500, 100000.
In medical schools, the Jewish
student has far less chance for
admission than non-Jewish ap-
plicants. Negroes are not admitted
at 26 of the 7S approved medical
schools.

New YOrk's FEPC

Christian Science Monitor
Part of the reason can be see!.
in the latest report from Commits
sioner Edward w. Edwards, chair
man Of the New York state Com.
mission Against Discrimination.
For instance, a department stor
in Buffalo, NJ Y, which originally
employed only 35 Negroes nov
employs more than 70, several
sales and office work.
A large bank in New York City
is now employing Negroes in its
main office and eight of its
branches. where formerly they
were employed in only three of its
branch offices, and none we're in
its main office.
a large engineering firm, which
had employed IS Negroes at the
time of the original investigation
was found to be employing 35
Negroes, the majority Of whom
were technicians.
A Fifth Avenue speciality shop,
which employed no Negro sales
personnel at the time of the orig
inal investigation, had 10 Negro
employees, one in sales at the
time of the review, and the office
of a magazine publisher which
had no Negro employees at the
time Of the complaint was found
to have hired two Negroes when
re-investigation was made.
1t is significant that most Of
the criticism of New York's FEPC
system today comes not from its
original enemies the New York
State Chamber OF Commerce and
the Commerce and Industry As
its friends-the American Jewish
Congress, the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement OF Col
ored People, and similar groups
