Former 49er, Bob
Mike To Coach
Wiley College

Marshall, Tex. Rumors have
been confirmed by Athletic Com
mittee Chairman Freeman Hodge
and President j. S. Scott that Big
Bob Mike, outstanding pro football
star with the San Francisco 49ers
and the Calgary Stampeders of
Canada, will become head line foot
ball coach at Wiley this season.
A native of Steubenville, Ohio,
Mikes outstanding high school
record as football player got him
a top scholarship at Florida A.
and M. During the war years, he
saw activity with the Tuskegee
Warhawks while he was stationed
at Tuskegee Army Air Field. At
ter the war he entered UCLA to
receive more athletic honors.
During his stint at UCLA, he re-
ceived mention on the All Coast
team as tackle and also received
honorable mention as an ALL
American selection in 1916. He
won the distinction of being the
first Negro from the West Coast
to play in the Rose Bowl when
UCLA met Illinois in 1947.
Mikes record as a football star
and student in the field of phys
ical education gave him several
big opportunities after he finished
at UCLA.
He received several bids to play
ball in All Star games, one of
which took him to Hawaii with
Ernie Starts champs. He also
played with the San Francisco
49ers and the Calgary Stampeders.
Big Bob, eft, 2-in., 25O-lbs.,
became outstanding first as
wrestler in Canada. During his
wrestling career he was consid-
cred one of the top sepia wrestlers
IN the game. A Canadian sports
writer said, Bob Mike is one of
the most powerful and confident
wrestling stars in the game to-
day."

the boys graduating, Whey Jones,
James Longmire, and Robert Ras-
CO, backs; and George Triplett,

Salvaged from last years team
will be only six starters: They are
Charles Chin, center; Charles Pace,
guard; Donald ,Sherrod, end; jim
my Love, end; James Crudup,
guard, and Richard Pace, back.
The biggest problem facing the
coaches is that of rebuilding the
backfield. Much work must be
done this year since the split ct"
is being initiated, necessitating
the learning of new plays, drills
and other techniques.

Cage Contest To See Negroes Play
With Whites In New Orleans
Loyola University And LaSalle
College Set December Contest

Negroes playing against its cagers.
In addition, it is possible New
Orleans Negroes may attend the
game.
Loyola's coach, Jim McCafferty
who doubles as athletic director Of
the Jesuit school, said as far he
knows mo law will be broken"
when his Wolfpack five meet the
Explorers.
GAS | know it the state law deals
only with public places. Private
institutions can do as they please"
McCarretry said, adding, LA Sale
has one Negro on its travelling
squad for sure; the other boy may
not make the trip"
Previously, Tulane, private
school, and Louisiana State Uni
versity, a state institution, plus
other smaller schools, have not
made it practice of booking teams
with Negroes on their rosters to
play in Louisiana.
The only sport the state law is
actually specific about is boxing
and mixed ring matches are def
nitely forbidden by the statute.
Loyola, being a private insti-
tuition, will not be violating any
law by either playing La Sale
with its Negroes, or, - if it
chooses - allowing Negroes to at
tend the game, which is expected to
attract better than 5000 fans to the
new fieldhouse on the campus.
Presently, Negroes attend Catho-
lie churches in New Orleans and
sit with whites during services.
McCafferty made it emphatic
that Loyola would play La Sale
in its Sunday afternoon opener
next December.
We've got them under contract
and We'll play Them" the young
coach concluded.

CLOSEUP
BY FRITZ POLLARD

NEW YORK - (GlobaD We
came across a mild complaint the
other day, from Rocky Marciano's
press agent. 1t might be expect
ed, he says that fighter would
keep in shape, train hard and keep
his schedules strictly, in prepara-
ton for such a fight as the one
scheduled between Rocky and Ez-
zard Charles on September Is.
But, there's no point in being so
perfect that a press agent hasn't
a line to write about.
Rocky is in great shape. His
weight is 1872, his wind is good, he
has been walking and fishing a
great deal, keeps regular hours
and eats properly. In other words,
he took off for training camp,
rolled up his sleeves and went to
work, determined to get in shape
and keep in shape There wasn't
even story to be had in the eye
that was badly cut in his last
fight. Rocky says it has healed
well, and he has no worry there.
1t seems this fellow Rocky Mar
ciano is dead serious about prepar
ing for his Septmber 18th go with
Charles at Yankee Stadium. He
is preparing for it not only phys
ically, but psychologically as we'll.
He is out to win, apparently knows
what he has to do to be in shape
to win, and is doing it.
All of which is good for Rocky.
But like his press agent says, it
makes dull reading.

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE By Bro. William Gum Assembly of God Mission

Dear Wrangen people: We greet you at this time of year in the name of our dear Lord.
 Ne at the Mission have so much to praise God for. Not only us. but all the dear Wrangen people have much to praise God for. First. for the gift of His great love. When He gave His All to save lost world. Jesus did not come when you and 1 were His friend. He came when the world was His enemy. Greater love has no man than that man lay down his life for his friend
 We of the Mission have been praying much, as in the Bible We find, to pray for all men as it is the will of God that all be saved and none lost by the great love of God. Can we get away from it? No Jesus said, T will never leave you nor forsake you" If there is any leaving il will be you and l.
 Dear Wrangell people, it seems to me the older I get the nearer 1 ro+ to tI, nuo tl,a+ rra,.o mn II;g life that l might have life. So. dear folks. a few more days. as far as We know. will be the birthday of the King of Kings and Lord of Al. My mind goes back to the humble shepherds as they watched over their flocks by night. Some time in the night a messenger came to earth to let them know what had taken place in the manager in Bethlehem. We see the angels did not appear to rich men, or to the king, but just to the humble shep- herds. Yes. they were afraid and the angels knew it and they said, Fear not. for unto you this day a Savior is born that is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign unto you, you will find the Baby wrap ped in swaddling clothes"
 Think. dear Wrangell folks. the rift of the great love of God, the Son of God No room in the inn. Just a manager but, bless God, the manager did not take away His Power or His Divine Cory. For that Child was the Divine Son of God who came to save the people of this world from their sins not in their sins but, thank God, from their sins
 So, dear Wrangell people. let us give Him some thought on His birthday What God did, He did because He loved you and me so that We may make heaven our home when We leave this temple of cay.
 So, dear people, in closing I wish to thank the Mayor of our city, and the City Council and all the businessmen in town for their kindness to me in the past year. In few more days the New Year will be with us so I am at this time i g arching my heart to see if I have done anything to help someone find | Jesus or in any other way to help by fellowman. Then, did I do any thing to cause someone to go a. st nay? If I have done any good, give the Son of God all the glory, and may He help me if have done anything to grieve Him.
 So now I will wish each one in Wrangell a Merry, Merry Christ and a Happy New Year and may the dear Lord bless you.

NOT BY BREAD ALONE
 By the Rev. N. E. Hoch st. Rose of Lima Catholic Church

The world moves on. Each year brings new modes of living. Science is conu1ually reaching out into the unknown and opening new avenues Of knowledge and power. Outward ly. the present-day world has very little in common with the world into winch the Savior came two thousand years ago. The manner of men is vastly different. The means through which men seek to achieve human well-being have changed lmmeasurably.
 Nevertheless, in spite of the pro- gress that has been made in al- most every department Of know ledge by the inquiring mind of man. in spite of the new ways that have ben devised to satisfy the longings of the restless heart of man, man still needs the higher avenues - such as love and peace - the real norms of conduct be- tween men, for happiness. There is always that constant need of turn ing to Christ and of accepting His message to obtain lasting happiness and il is just as cogent and com polling now as it was years ago. A feyerish world, busy ~ith many material cares, still finds it impos- sible to live by bread alone.
 There is a yearning in the hu- man heart that cannot be satisfied, even by the thousand and one com forts and conyenienceS this modern world enjoys. and the strength of this yearning turns the heart back to Bethlehem and gladdens it with a message of hope that was first voiced by angels more than nine teen centuries ago. The yearning is for God. and can be satisfied only by the inward happiness God so generously bestows upon such through His love for us.
 Though the modern world see fit to ridiclue most every tradition of the past, though the intelligence of the age pays scant heed to the wisdom of former ages, Christmas still brings a stabilizing factor that nothing else can give. Though so many, with heads crammed full of schemes for material well-being, are eager to lead the multitude to their destiny, the multitudes still prefer that a little Child should lead them. Man may look elsewhere for distraction and diversion, but when he really looks for true peace and eontentment he knows he must turn to Christ the Eternal De- signer of heaven and earth.
 When bells ring out on Christ mas, when joyous carols about B 5thlehem and the Child in the manager fill the air, sin seems to lose it's fatal allure, the pursuit of business is for the time forgotten, and even errant souls come rather timidly, as did the shepherds of old, to pay tribute to the newborn Savior of men.
 thousand years hence it will still be the same. Whatever the coming years may bring, they will never bring anything capable of replacing the Christ-child of love eternal in the affections of men.
 Fer man is so constituted that he cannot live by bread alone.
