BY FRITZ POLLARD

NEW YORK, (GlobaD-Young-
sters watching the Archie Moore
Joey Maxim bout in Miami last
week were impressed with the lack
of enthusiasm in the crowd for
Moore. They commented on the
wild applause that greeted the
slightest furry on the part Of Joey
Maxim, and on the quietude that
prevailed at the end of the fight
when Moore was declared winner.
We old timers could have remind
ed them that this was, in fact,
quite a step forward for the deep
South. We've seen the day when
such a fight wouldn't even have
been scheduled. Guess all things
are relative.
Ernest Garrett, Morgan State
College cage star has hung up
quite a record for the season. He
scored a total of 378 points for
a game average of 25.2, and scored
1872 field goals and successfully
made ia out of lat free throws
attempted Baseball fans down
Greensboro, North Carolina way
have high hopes for Tom Aston,
star first baseman of the San
Diego, Calf. Padres who was pur-
chased by the st. Louis Cardinals
recently. Sports lovers down that
way remember him as star with
the championship A & T Aggies
and the Gosen Red Wings. He was
called a promising great" even in
those days.
Don Newcombe will have army
service behind him soon, and is
said to have okayed a $4,000 fig
ure as his 1854 salary. He looks
good and feels good, and they say
he's champing at the bit E. Looks
as if the lights will be on in Bos-
ton this summer to allow compile
ton of Sunday double-headers.
Wish they'd turn them on here in
New York too.

JACKSON COLLEGE TIGERS
Defeat texas SOUTHERN

The jackson College Tigers un-
der the skilful leadership of coach
Harrison B. Wilson, came from be-
hind last Saturday night to de-
feat the Texas Southern Tigers IA
SO in the Jackson College Gym
nasium. The Texas boys started
the ball to rolling by scoring 6
straight baskets on the locals, but
the Jackson College Tigers lead by
their 6'7" center, Mccoy Ingram,
and ct" guard Norman Warner
begin to gain momentum and hit
ting from all angles got back into
the ball game.
This was the second match be-
tween the two midwestern confer
ence quintets in which the Jack
son team was defeated in the first
contest by 90 points. The Texas
boys lead by T. Sauldsberry and
r. Hughes who shot II and Is
points respectively was not out
classed but skillfully out witted by
the high spirited Jacksonians.
At the end of the first period
T. S. U. was leading Jackson 20
ID, but at half time the local tigers
held the slight edge by one point.
This "see saw" kept the enthusi-
astic spectators under very high
tension.
The spirit of the T. S. U. was
harshly deprecated in the third
period when Jackson College Tiger
ace Roy Taylor hit four straight
baskets from the floor. High point
men for Jackson were Mccoy In
gram and Norman Warner with II
each and Roy Taylor with IS. Other
outstanding performers were Paul
Covington and Lucius Mitchell.
The Texas team returned to the
Lone Star State with very little
hope for Midwestern Conference
laurels, after the defeat handed
them by the Jackson College Gag
ers.
Coach Wilson and his tigers will
travel to Grambling, La, on Feb
ruary 9, to take on the Grambling
College Tigers, who made great
impression by defeating the tigers
by a slim margin in a previous
contest. This is another Midwestern
Conference tilt. Follow the Tigers
to victory.

commissions is the commission on
the United Nations, headed by R.
E. L. Hammond, Port Chester, N. Y.

Mayor Marshall J. Beverley of Alexandria
has made an appropriate response to the re-
markable resolution of the City Council aimed
at the Mayors public criticism of what he
considers defects in city administration. II
will not be gagged" he announced. "The
people have right to know what is going on"
The council had expressed its "displeasure and
disagreement with any course of conduct which
seeks to try personal issues of government
through the medium of the public press and
without regard to the considered position of
the legislative body as a whole" The Mayor
was advised that his duties are restricted by
the city charter to presiding at council meet
ings and serving as city head "for ceremonial
purposes
1t is doubtful, however, that the people
elected Mayor Beverley in the belief that he
would conf1ne himself to such narrow course
OF official duties. He has never been noted
for reticence on public issues and the voters
knew it when they put him in Office. And if
the elected head of the city government cannot
speak out publicly on matters affecting
municipal management-however controversial
Alexandria ought to amend its charter to
abolish any such gag rule.
