finish of last season if they can
avoid additional injuries.
Gil Coan, leading the Wash
ington hitterS in exhibition
games with a 1878 average and
seemingly headed for his finest
year in the majors, sustained a
broken ankle last Sunday in
Charlotte when he snagged his
spikes on the Dashboard of a
fence. He'll be out of action for
about a month and meanwhile
his post will be handled by Ken
Wood.
The only new face in the Mats
lineup will be that of Wayne
Terwilliger. spry second baseman
who failed in previous tests with
the Chicago Cubs and Brooklyn
Dodgers. Terwilliger has turned
in spirited, aggressive play in ex-
hibitions and Harris hopes he'll
plug the weak spot in his infield.
Hope for Better Hitting.
The Mats dream of better
things is based on the improved
hitting of Eddie sYost, Mickey
Vernon and Jackie Jensen and
general improvement all down
the line. The batting averages
last year read like train depar-
ture times shortly after 2 o'clock,
but it's been different in exhibi-
tions and they're confident of
carrying on during the regular
season.
Harris will present the follow
ing batting order: YoSt, 3b; jim
Busby, CT; Vernon, 1b: Jensen,
If; Pete Runnels, SIS; Wood, If;
Terwilliger, 2b; Mickey Grasso,

The Yankees, trying to become
the first team to win five sue

accomplish that objective, will

POCATELLO, Idaho, April IL.
Garry CARRIER, Maryland Uni
versity's bantamweight and 156-
FOUNDER Pete Potter from Vir-
ginia were defeated in the finals
of the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association boxing tourna-
ment here tonight.
Both were defeated by fighters
from Idaho State, the host
school, which emerged the team
winner with three individual
champions and rs points. Idaho
States other winner was Paddy
Carver in the 132-pound di-
vision.
The Terps' Cal Quenstedt and
Virginia's Bill Banerdt, the only
other boxers entered from the
two schools, were eliminated in
the opening round and semi
finals, respectively.
Potter's defeat was at the
hands of Idaho States unde-
feated Olympic boxer, Ellsworth
Webb, who dropped the Virginlan
for a nine count early in the
second round and followed up
with a two-handed attack that
sent Potter across the ring and
through the ropes only seconds
later. The referee stopped the
bout at this point and Webb
became the national 156-pound
champion for the second straight
year.
Hard-punching vic Kobe
opened the nine-bout card with
a unanimous decision over Mary
lands aGrber in the 119-pound
scrap. Kobe scored heavily in
the second round and appeared
to be softening up the Terp, and
in the third round Kobe smashed
several hard rights to the face
that had CARRIER hanging on at
the end.
Louisiana State, which went
into the finals with a one-point
lead over second-place Idaho
State, lost it's chance for the
team title when Featherweight
Bobby Jackson received a cut
over his left eye. The fight was
stopped.

Nip-and-Tu Race
By Third Of Length
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr

" Noi@OIUH GoNnOOIHes JI.
George Washington High
School varsity oarsmen yester-
day noSed out Lower Merton
(Pa). High School by a third of
a boat length in the sixth an
nual meeting of the two schools
on the Potomac off Old Do
minion Boat Club.
It was the Alexandria schools
first triumph over the visiting
oarsmen for the Lynch trophy.
Lower Merton has taken the
trophy four times. A fifth race
was declared no contest when
boats swamped.
Make Good Time.
For a brief period it looked as
though there would be rough
going again, but a westerly wind
let up in time for the main
event. Crews raced upstream
with a favoring tide and made
good time.
Stroked by Curtis Adkins, the
local crew moved out in front at
the three-quarter mark of a mile
. course after a nip-and-tuck race
with the visitors, stroked by
Barry Hudson. LoweS Merton
had a slight edge on George
Washington until the halfway
point. Then, the Alexandrians
stepped up their stroke from 81
to SO a minute.
One explanation for yester-
days performance was that
George Washington oarsmen
have been training this season
two weeks more than the Penn
sylvania crew. Lower Merton won
the junior national schoolboy
championship here last year.
Full Length Ahead.
George WaShington'S junior
varsity won handily over Lower
Merton by two and a half boat
lengths. The crew, stroked by
John McLane, was a full boat
length in front at the half.
Lower Merton won it's only
race in the sophomore eight, fin
ishing two boat lengths ahead CT
George Washington. Winning
stroke was Bill Pressler.

Skill Not Race, Negroes Principal Bar To Better Jobs

self confined to working for members of
his own race. 1t he is properly qualified and
does first class job, he'll be greeted with
welcome response from the general public.
The principal requirements are ability,
promptness, character and business cour-
tesy.
Among some of the job opportunities
for Negro women in the vocational 1ield are
those of beautician, stenographhers, clerk
typist dressmaking, tailoring, file c,,k,
practical nursing, catering, store Glen.
ct cetera. None of these vocations reaui,
college education; in fact, some of them 40
not require high school diploma. Yet, The
remuneration received for working at one
of these jobs far exceeds that paid for jobs
requiring little or no skill.
Still we continue to see thousands of our
high school boys and girls apparently salts
fled to settle down on jobs such as maids
janitors, walters or general houseworkers
Now, don't misunderstood me. There is
nothing wrong with any of these jobs. All
work is honorable. The only thing wrong is
the person, who, although possessing the
necessary education to enable him to acquire
the skill to obtain higher position, lacks
the initiative to step out and attain such
skill mainly because he is unwilling to accept
the sacrifice required of him during the
transitionary period. Such an education is
wasted because thousands of us with gram
mer school education, or less, are usually,
because of the very nature of these jobs,
better fitted to handle them. At best, for
the high school student, these jobs in the
domestic category, should be pursued as
or ,fO
the march to higher positions. Not for ones
lifelong career.
The day has passed that ones race is
the principal bar to a responsible job. Abili-
ty, perseverance and character, or the lack
of them, is the deciding factor of ones fate
in the economic world today. Think it over,

Roanoke Needs A Concert Hall

AS an "All American City,, Roanoke
needs and must have concert hall. The
people throughout Southwest Virginia, as
we'll as the citizens of the city have no
other place to look for cultural programs
OF entertainment than the city of Roanoke
Though the old Academy of Music finally
became hazardous fire trap, when it was
RACED it left vacancy in our city that has
not yet been filled
Some would say that the radio and tele-
vision have brought into our homes the
very best cultural programs that can be
staged, and that makes the concert hall OBJ
solete. Well the same argument was adj
vanced when the radio came into exist
ance. 1t was said TIL I WOULD soon be no
need for newspapers br,. sc the radio
would prove more practicable in dissemina-
ting the news But the radio has proved to
be the most effective vehicle upon which
the newspaper has been carried into many
avenues, and instead of the newspaper
losing it's usefulness in a community, state
and nation, today it occupies the position
of being one of the most indispensable ar
ticles in the civilized world
Nothing can take the place of full
