Nov. 30. . Dec. J
NAAcP Week

Mayor Eric @. Hoyer issued a
proclamation Wednesday, pro-
claiming the week of Nov. 80 to
Dec. 7 as NAACP week.
Part of the proclamation states:
Whereas the City Of Mime
apolis has established an excel
lent record in the field Of human
relations by extending the privi-
leges of full citizenship to Ameri-
cans of all races, creeds and colors,
"T urge all residents of Mime
apolis to support this campaign
by enrolling as members of the
Minneapolis branch of the MA
ACP."
The 1852 membership will off,
cially end at the close of NAACP
week but the door to door sohcia-
ton will continue until finished,
Ed Blackwell chairman of the
drive stated.
L. Howard Bennett, drive d.
rector stated that from all indica-
tons the branch will meet its goal
Of 1900 members and $1,000.
This years's drive was the most
extensive and largest in the his
tory of the branch.
It was the opinion Of the men,
bership committee that Mime
apolis could double the size Of its
membership and at the same time
expand the work Of the organiza-
ton.
The drive was organized around
this thought.
The drive was divided into two
major sections; the general mem
bership and special gifts.
The general membership section
was given the responsibility Of
obtaining the bulk Of the men,
berships and the special gifts Sec
ton obtained the largest share Of
the finances.

Gil Turner Gets Second Chance
Against Dykes

Against Dykes
On the night of Monday, Dec. 1
in Philadelphia, youthful Gil Tur-
ner, 21, will have a chance to re-
deem himself in the boxing ring
when he faces Bobby Dykes of
Miami, Fla.
Only a year ago, young Turner
was the toast of the boxing ring.
He was declared the most prom
Using young fighter by many box
ing experts, and he was undefeat-
ed. Since then, however, things
have not been so good.
First, he lost a championship
bout to Kid Gavilan, the welter-
weight king, by a TKo. Then.
after flooring Bobby Dykes early
in a bout, Turner lost a 10-round
decision to him. This latter loss
was humiliating because Dykes is
a man with a powder puff punch,
and Turner is a slugger.
BY losing to Dykes, Gil found
himself dimmed by the exploits Of
Johnny Bratton, Chuck Davey and
Johnny saxton. He no longer is
mentioned in the same breath
with these 147-pounders, Only a
victory over Dykes can move him
back into the spotlight.
An unusual factor about this
battle is that If you want to know
what happened you will have to
see 1t in person or wait to read
about 1t in your newspaper. This
brawl win not be teleHsed nor
broadcast.
Thus, there will be no neces-
sity for TV showmanship and all
that. These two will have to fight
It out before a live audience.
Dykes is a fair boxer with no
punch. He has the advantage of
reach over most opponents be-
cause he is a tall, lanky fellow
of 8 feet.
Turner is a heavy mauler who
likes to pitch leather from the
moment he enters the ring. His
weakness Is that he does not have
much of a defense. Despite this
flaw in his armor, he still should
take care of Dykes.
