DIR. WILSON

Finally, the second of what was
known as "Danville's Big Three
Negro men, has passed from this
life. When | was in Danville
with the Illinois Times, and rs
sociated with the Elks of that
city, | observed that DR.. A. L.
Frazier, Mr. Atticus Brown and
DR.. w. Fl. Wilson constituted the
BIG THREE when it comes to
putting things across. Mr.. Brown
died some time ago; some four
or five years ago, and now death
has claimed DR.. Wilson. OF
course we don't mean to say
that these three men were the
only men in Danville who amount
to much but what we mean is
that these are the three who
stuck together.
In lodge matters and in every
thing that required good Judge
ment, good sense and good money.
All of us know DR.. Frazier to
be of the thrifty, go a head"
type of men, who has faith in
his people and will take a chance
at almost anything. While both
DR.. Wilson and Mr.. Brown were
more conservative. They were of
the type that would go ahead, but
they did it more carefully. They
were often heard giving advice
to DR.. Frazier and it was interest
ing to note that he was at all
times open to their advice and
council. 1t was not often that
either of these three men would
undertake anything big without
whatever the results, all felt
equally elated or equally guilty.
Certainly, Danville has given up
one who has done much to give
the Negro people in Danville and
in Vermilion county, a higher
reputation as good and desirable
citizens. He came to Danville
many years ago practically poor.
He died practically rich. Just to
show one who will look at facts.
that it matters little where one
settles, provided there are people
there; If one has the training, the
tact and patience or persistence,
he will make it.
All three of these men opened
up business in Danville, where
many people advised others that
for business, Danville was out.
But these men have succeeded.
Take Mr.. John p. Buford, Sr. of
Robinson ST, who began business
as a gToceryman among his peo
pie alone back when few Negroes
IN this city or in that, knew
much about the Grocery business,
but he came thru with a big fam
lily, all of them doing we'll and
ne has plenty of money. He is
a fair example of what one can
do if he has the mind to do it
and will stick to it. But all of
these men, whether in business
or a profession, prove one thing
without any doubt: that regard
less of the facts that they have
been deprived of the many ad
vantages that have come to other
people of their time, that they
have been able to make good.
They have accumulated money
and power. DIR. Frazier as q dent

SURPRISED BIRTHDAY

Mrs. O. B. Johnson recently
surprised her husband, Rev. O..
- Johnson in their home with a
group of friends. A repast was
served.
Evening star., 1953-07-26

They both ask you for dates.
Try and figure the married
ones. They're respectable. They
have good jobs. A couple of kids
at home. The wife is out of town,
they say. Or they're supposed to
be out with the boys. If they're
strangers in town, they come up
with the lonesome angle.
Its strictly business for a girl
to trim anyone she can. But you
meet poor guy. ALI the money
he has in his pocket is what he's
held out from the wife for a
month. You feel sorry for him.
You tell him he's throwing his
money away. Yet it doesn't stop
him from being a sucker.
Don't Go AIome
If A guy really wants to just
see the show, he can do it. Only
he shouldn't come alone. He
should take a girl, the wife or
anyone he knows. No one will
bother him so long as there's a
woman with him. If he can't find
anyone to take, then he shouldn't
carry much money. He can pro-
tect himself, too, by having it in
small bills.
IF he's got a squawk against
the house, he shouldn't try to
settle it himself. He's better off
to leave peaceable and to 60 to
the top police with it. Then he at
least won't get hurt.
''You hardly ever see a woman
here alone. So he's not likely to
pick one up here. But he shouldn't
pick up strangers outside. He
won't be taking chances with
knockout drops if he doesn't.
%'The best way of all to come
here is to make up a party
with dates. In party there's
no danger, either, with thugs.
Maybe men should change
their ideas about. strippers. Most
men think it's glamorous being
one. They don't know the life.
You're up there on the stage
wondering what a lot of rowdy
customers are going to holler at
you. 1t takes nerve.

out with the guy. The waitress
signals one of the managers. He
meets the girl at the door and
puts on a big surprise act.
Where does she think she's
going? What's she trying to pull
with this date stuff? Doesn't she
know it's against the rules?
Doesn't she know she has to fin
ish her time in the place?
Then he gives the customer a
spiel real innocent-like. He's
so sorry, he says. He can't help
what his girls do. But he has to
see that they take their turns in
the show.
''Sure it's a gyp. This is a
sucker racket. Every custom
er is a sucker or he wouldn't
come here.
Take the fellow who hangs
around drinking by himself. The
girls can't get to first base with
him. But he's a good spender. A
good guy to hold onto for busi-
ness.
THE waitress tries a ginmick.
She tells him there will be a
special show upstairs and talks
him into buying a ticket. The
show is strictly a phony. The
ticket is a wardrobe check. She
stalls him all evening by saying
the show isn't ready. He keeps
buying drinks. Finally he gets
the news the show has been post
poned.
They're Curious
IF HE makes a fuss about it
she sicks the cops on him to
scare him out of the place. He's
respectable. The chances are he's
married. Maybe he's supposed to
be out bowling with the boys.
Anyhow, the guy usually thinks
it over. The waitress may have
soaked him twenty bucks on the
ticket but it's a lot cheaper than
explaining.
"Most men come to strip
places because they're curious or
they're looking for a thrill. They
buy the B-drinks because they're
curious to meet show girl. Sim
gle men. And married men, too.

This play sets up best when
our right halfback, John Latt-
ner, is having good day. AS he
starts toward the line of scrim-
mage and the quarterback ap-
parently hands the ball to him,
the defense naturally has to
close in. The quarterback then
pulls the ball back and pitches
it cut to Joe Heap. who has
been "bellied" back and is head
ing for the sidelines.
Heap Runs, Then Passes.
Heap puts the ball under his
arm and starts to run wide.
AS the defense comes in he stops
and passes to one of two tar

Bevo, With 81 Points, Berotes
Self as Team Bows in Garden

The crowd of 1882 cheered
Francis in defeat and the door
of the Rio Grande dressing room
was jammed with autograph
seekers.
The consensus of the experts
seemed to be that Francis is
good shot, but that he would be
much more valuable man if he
fought harder for rebounds and
played a tighter defense.
Bevo was asked what he
thought about meeting North
Carolina State. one of the Ma
tion's best teams, later this
month.
Il don't think about 'em
aforehand," he said. I'll play
'em when we get there
The Rio Grande- e-Adelphi game
was the first half of the Gar
den's first college double-header
of the season. In the other
game, St. Johns of Brooklyn
outlasted Lafayette, 66-61.
Texas Christian Upset.
Elsewhere, the biggest upset
of the night was the 67-64 defeat
of Texas Christian by Midwest
ern of Texas. TCU is the
tWo-time Southwest Conference
champion.
Southern Methodist overpow-
cred Texas Wesleyan, 105-70,
and Texas Tech surprised Ten
nessee, 1911.
Maryland won it's second
straight in the new Atlantic
Coast Conference, beating Glenn
son, 81-41.
In the Midwest, Notre Dame,
a quarter-finaliSt in the NCAA
tournaments last spring, breezed
past Ball State, 84-63. Bowling
Green defeated Detroit, 1858,
and Oklahoma City was extended
before turning back Hardin
Simmons. 64-52.
Wyoming, perennial power of
the Skyline Conference, defeated
Montana State, 62-53. Seattle,
which lost its famous O'Brien
twins at the end of last season,
was beaten by Wichita, 82-68.

Leohy Ready With Tricky Play
If Ldttner Is Hovinq Good Doy

this halfback comes up in front
OF the end, then Heap has the
option of throwing to Lattner
who has gone straight down and
then veered toward the sidelines.
The points which usually help
this play to click are the fact
that the right end, the right
halfback and fullback all appear
to be pretty much engaged as
the play gets under way. This
causes the defensive players on
that side to move in rapidly to
prevent Heap from skirting the
end. If they do this, our left
end has room in which to catch
the pass. Should the defense
guess what is coming and play
back for the pass, then our full
back and right end block the
opposing left end and Heap
keeps the ball and heads up
field.
Also Have Opposite Play.
Fans who have seen our team
play this fall know that we also
have the exact opposite of this
play in which Heap fakes into
the line and the ball is pitched
out to Lattner. Johnny runs to
his left. he passes to our right
end. Against Pittsburgh this fall,
this particular play went for so
yards into the end zone but un-
fortunately a penalty forced us
to try it again and we didn't have
the same success.
So that you may be able to
pick out the mentioned players,
Joe Heaps jersey number is AZ.
John Lattner's is IA, Quarterback
Ralph Guglielmi's is 3, and Full
back Neil Worden wears No. 48.
Our left end, Dan Shannon, is
No. 33 and Capt. Don Penza
No 83. is at right end, while
Paul Matz, No. 80. is likely to
substitute for either or both of
them as he did last week. Since
Joe Heaps injured knee is a
question mark at this point. it is
possible that Dick Fitzgerald,
No. 80, might be in there in his
Pace.

Francis, the scoring sensation
from Rio Grande College, is
mighty unhappy about his first
game at Madison Square Garden.
II don't blame anybody. I
just had an off night" he said
dejectedly in his dressing room
last night after Rio Grande had
suffered its first loss in Al games,
1916, to Adelphi College of Gar
den City, N. Y.
"We played our worst game"
agreed Coach Newt Oliver, who
has guided Bevo and the small
Ohio school to national basket
ball prominence. Il don't know
why we had to pick this one to
play so poorly"
Francis, a gangling 60 sopho-
more, averaged SOL points

ture of small colleges, business
schools and junior colleges.
Couldn't Get Going.
Last night was his biggest test.
Il wasn't nervous" he de-
clared. I'VE just couldn't get 60
ing. I'd like to play them again
tomorrow night. We're 20 points
better than they are. They gave
me a pretty good going over but
I didn't get tired. I'm not even
tired now"
Francis had been averaging so
to so shots a game but against a
collapSing zone defense which
literally put him in cage dur
ing the second half, Bevo man..
aged just 26 attempts. He con-
nected on 10.
Our defense hurt us most"
Oliver said. 1--WE let them shoot
from outside and they hit every
thing in sight. I don't make Bevo
play defense much, anyhow not
a tight one. I can't afford to let
him foul. I don't even have

Frank Lane, general manager
of the White SoX, would be

"The players have shot Santa

There is no doubt in my mind
that Reynolds and Kiner are
forcing the owners to junk the

Instead of trying to butt heads
with the club owners, they

differences in an amicable man

EIorio Expects Fiore
10 Use Kim Fight
AS Stepping Stone

!, Dan Florio. one Of the best
trainers in the fight business, is
confident he has an up-and-
coming fighter in Carmine Fiore
of Brooklyn. N. Y.
Florio thinks Carmine will
rank with some of the other
important boxers he's handled.
Fiore is matched against Phil
Kim in tomorrow nights 10
round feature at Uline Arena,
and it is a match Florio believes
his boy will use as a stepping
stone toward the top OF the well
terweight division.
Kim, Hawaiian-born of Ko-
rean parentage, is a slight fa-
vorite, but the fight really figures
as a fast. hard-hitting affair
that either fighter could win with
one punch.
Has Managed Top Boxers.
When Florio says that Fiore
will rank with some of the best
fighters he's handled, he really
is putting him in fast company.
Roland LaStarza. Paddy DeMar-
co and Paddy Young are among
his present-day charges, and in
the past he's directed such as
Jersey Joe Walcott, Freddy Mil
1er and PeteV ScalZO. all of them
champions.
Ray Arcel, director of the Sat-
urday night television fight
program (tomorrow'S bout will
be on TV nationally, with Wash
ington blacked out) not long ago
was a fight trainer Of some note
himself, and on several i'm
portant occasions was in the
corners opposite Florio.
Arcel is supposed to be neu-
trail about the outcome of the
Uline Arena battle tomorrow
night, but reading between the
lines of his conversation about
the affair he seems to favor
Kim.
Opposite in Title Bout.
One of the big bouts in which
Arcel and Florio faced each other
from opposite corners was the
1949 heavyweight championship
bout between Ezzard Charles and
Walcott, with ArcePs fighter,
Charles, winning that one. Arcel
also juggled the sponge and
bucket for Charles the night
he beat Joe Louis, and again
when Charles defeated Walcott
early in 1851.
Florio emerged on top the
next time, however, handling
Walcott when Jersey Joe finally
took the title from Charles in
July, 1851.
Sharing interest with the
Fiore-Kim battle tomorrow
night is the eight-round semi
final between Jimmy Cooper,
Washington featherweight. and
Filberto OSario, from Puerto
Rico. These two fighters each
has beaten the other once.
