Between The Lines


watched college sports and Won
dered just what would be done
without them. The eecreational
nature of these sports give the
college campus a much-needed
respite from the strenuous and
humdrum duties that daily de-
mand our energies.
More than once this writer has
decided that the college athlete
of superb abilities deserves
something for the contribution
which he makes to the diversion
al aspect of college life. What the
moguls are trying to say is that
there are certain abuses that
need correcting. There is no de-
bate on this point; but whether
the college sports should be kill
ed off in order to correct certain
evils is a moot question.
Believe it or not, college sports
are here to stay and as long as
the public demands good teams
they will be provided - one way
or another. Sports will have to
become much more scandalouS to
turn the moral stomach of the
American public. America must
have excitement. College sports
like professional sports afford
such, and there is no remedy in
sight for their successful elimina-
ton.
1t is not the way of Americans
to go in one direction while the
dollar goes in another. There is
big money in successful sports.
AS long as the public pays, the
public will be served - one way
or another. We have come upon
culture cycle like unto that
which enveloped the Roman EN-
pire in its heyday.
It is hardly believeable that
1000 years ago the Roman Coli
scum with a seating capacity of
10000 was the center of Roman
life next to the Forum. Large
crowds bent on eXcitment and
amusement were not unlike the
crowds that 60 about our coun-
try seeking an outlet for their ex-
uberant energies.
America demands big time
sports and will have them with or
without scandals.
Crookedness in sports is not
nearly so dangerous as crooked
ness in legal proceedings that too
often involve the facts and for
tunes of Negroes in this coun-
try. Crookedness in sports is
merely gnat; crookedness in law
enforcement is a camel. Let's not
strain too much of the gnat.
What about the creekedness
that has controvened the thir-
teenth and fourteenth amend
ment to the constitutional innum-
cradle times

SPORTS
At the present time the coun-
try is in a dither about sports
scandals of one kind or another
There is more or less excitement
and higher ups are out in front
with all kinds of remedies for
the specious situation in which
we find ourselves, since scandal
has been aired and the end is not
yet.
Since Junius Kellog, a Negro
a year ago alerted police officials
of New York City the sports
scandal fur has been flying. More
than half hundred athletes have
been taken in the legal net spread
to check sports scandals. The
ramifications have been great
extending from the ancient Col
lege of William and Mary to
mighty West Point, where the
wasp of scandal has stung with
deadly precision.
College authorities are raising
holy hands of horror at the ex-
posures; but these same authori-
ties gloated when their respective
teams were thrilling the world
with their athletic proWeSs.
What has happened we'll might
have been expected. Ours. is a
land that worships the dollar
first and God next - or near
.1ext. Race prejudice and the dol
lar are the gods of this nation
and God must play second fiddle
to these if indeed He plays at all.
1t is true the presidents of the
colleges met in solemn conclave
making "heavy pronouncements"
but the truth remains there will
be no deemphasis on college
sports. America is a country
where people want what h y
want when they want it, and as
much as they want.
The announcements of aca-
demic moguls will not change the
picture. There is money in sue
cessful college athletics and by
successful" we mean financially
successful. This nation wants
major sports and is willing and
able to pay for them.
It is the guess of this writer
that we are going to have what
we want - one way or the other.
1t is going to take more than san
ity codes and acadamic pro-
nouncement to rid this country of
its great college football teams
with their post season bowls of
one sort or another. We are un-
fortunately caught in the vortex
of an age of excitement. Ath-
letic events afford the requisite
excitment, and as such play an
important role in a nations di-
versional development and pro-
gram.

Peace And
Happiness

BY William Henry Huff for AMP
There never will be peace on earth
Till every one is free
And each can move from hearth
to hearth
And will not have to flee.
There never will be happiness
Till all - the rich and poor
Shall have, l mean possess,
What's NEEDED, if no more.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. - T h e
General Electric Laboratories here
have turned up some interesting
facts in their studies with artificial
lightning.
In the first place, lightning bolts
don't come from the blue, and those
lightning flashes don't hit the
earth. Actually they jump skyward

ground, it spurts toward the sky
in a quick flash.

This session of the congress will
be a wordy session, probably one
of the noisiest of record, and there
is indication that little will come
from it in the way Of solid sound
legislation. From his state of the

dent has not completely given up
hope in getting through some of his
Fair Deal program. Some Of that
program however has been placed
in moth balls for the duration. In
this class comes his program for
national health insurance which is
now in the hands of a bipartisan
commission, headed by DR.. Paul
Magnuson, an outstanding medical
authority. This commission is out
of the realm of politics since it

The U. S. District Court of the

had found that educational facili-

are not equal, and held that the

was whether separate schools for

the offices of internal revenue
collectors in the states and
setting up IS regional offices

the top men under civil serv-

has generally received favor
able comment. However, it will
mean taking from the MEM

patronage and just how this
congress will take the plan re-
mains to be seen. The plan was
President Truman's answer to
charges of graft and corrup-
ton In the tax collection bu-

it's announcement was followed
by action by the attorney gen.
