The best approach is "to provide
normal boyhood experiences shared
with Negro Children" Mr.. May
said. He currently arranging to
have his son Jamie play with col
ored children at his home in At
lanta.
Mr.. Gordon, who lives in an all
Negro neighborhood, said the color
question "haunts every Negro
parent who wants to bring up his
youngster without fear and the
Gripping stigma of inferiority."
Every few whites realize the
trouble which some Negro families
go to avoid hurting their chill
dren," Mr.. Gordon said in Look.
"Some buy automobiles, even at a
sacrifice, to take their children to
and from school - just so they
won't have to ride in segregated
buses"
The Atlanta editors son, Bill,
Jr., had his first direct experience
with prejudice while visiting the
park with his teacher and group
of youngsters. A counterman in the
park restaurant refused to serve
him a sandwich. Fortunately, the
bow "did not become embittered," "
Mr.. Gordon said in Look. He has

wards whites"

The Oklahoma constitution pro-
vides that "every candidate shall
state in his notification and decla-
ration his race. Any candidate who
is other than the white race shall
have his race designated upon the
ballots in parenthesis after his
name. This provision shall apply
both to primary and general cleo
tons"
Under the Oklahoma constitution
the phrase white race" includes
all traces" except "the Negro
race"
Mcdonald on August 9, 1854,
sued the members of the election
board in the Federal District court
for damages of 100000. He
claimed that this action in placing
the word Negro" in parenthesis
after his name violated the Four
teenth Amendment.
Federal District Judge Stephen
Chandler ruled that the placing of
the word Negro" on primary or
general election ballot after the
name of candidate who is Of Afrl-
can descent, is merely descriptive
and serves to inform voters that
the candidate is of African descent
and the other candidates are white.
He held that McDonal was not
denied the equal protection of the
law guaranteed by the Fourteenth
Amendment, that he had failed to
invoke the remedies provided by
Oklahoma law, and that the Fed
eral District Court was without
jurisdiction.
From a judgment dismissing his
suit, Mcdonald appealed the Court
of Appeals held that the provi-
sions of the Oklahoma constitution
in question constitutes, "a direct
between colored
Americans and members of the
white, yellow and other races, all
embraced in the phrase white
race"
The appeals court added that
such discrimination resulted in a
denial, under color of law, of equal
treatment of Negroes who run for
office in Oklahoma.

Jaguar-GoId Rush
Clash Set For
New Orleans

The Southern University Jaguar
Cats will encounter an old foe in
new place on the Cats slate,
when they invade New Orleans this
week to clash with the Xavier Uni
versity Gold Rush.
Long acclaimed as the Pelican
State classic, the Jaguar-Gold
Rush battles have increased in in
terest and now draws large crowd
here and in the Crescent City.
For the past several years the
Xavier Stadium has been taxed to
capacity and there have been ru-
mors that a larger site might be
secured. However, according to the
Gold Rush officials the contest
will be staged on their campus
again this year.
The impending Jaguar- Gold Rush
get-together is number ten in
new series which started in the
fall of 1916, after a five-year lapse.
Eight times the Jaguars have been
victorious and only once did they
go down in defeat.
Although for Southern the num-
Der of wins has been many, each
year there is that renewed effort
on the part of the Cats and the
Gold Rush to rack up the coveted
triumph. The margins of victory
have varied greatly from an $50
shellacking in 1949 to the 14-13
squeezer last year. Southern's
one-point win came at the end of
a long and trying season which
found the Cats plagued with nu-
merous injuries. At that time the
wealth of Jaguar material, which
had been plentiful, was at its low
est ebb thus forcing the Cats staff
to shuttle players around to keep
the required eleven men afield.

AIcorn-Southern
Battle To Draw
BRAVES COMES FROM
BEHIND IN FOURTH
PERIOD TO GAIN TIE

Trailing 1876 at the beginning of
the fourth quarter, the Alcorn
Braves, behind fierce line play and
the brilliant passing of Leslie Net
ties and Buford Magee, surged
back for IL quick points to gain an
1918 tie with the Jauger Cats of
Southern University.
Southern started off on what ap-
peared to be an easy victory as an
alert defensive player intercepted
a Brave pass on the Alcorn 35
yard line. Two off tackle thrusts
gave Southern a first down and
on the next four plays the Jaugar
Cats went out in front 60.
Midway the second period, the
Braves, after taking a punt on
their 25, moved the ball for two sue
cessive first downs, where Magee
attempting to hit Boston with an
aerial, threw the ball into the
waiting hands of a Jaugar defend
err. Taking advantage of another
break, the Southern backs behind
fierce blocking, again carried the
ball across the goal line to go out
in front 1910.
HOsey Scores
Alcorn, seeking to come from be-
hind, took to the air upon receiving
the kickoff and again the Southern
defenders, who by then were quite
adept at stealing Brave aerials,
pulled another one out of the air
and started to move toward the
Alcorn goal line. After a few I'M
successful tries through the Alcorn
forward wall, the Cats took to the
air. At that point Jesse Hosey,
brilliant Brave halfback intercepted
a Southern pass, tucked it away
and scampered 66 years to make
the score 1875.
Boston Scores Twice in Last
Quarter
After Southern had gone ahead
1876, the Braves, not eager to ac-
cept a second straight defeat, be-
gan to move the ball. Slashing
through the Southern line and pick
ing up yardage via the air route,
quarterback Leslie Nettles finally
put the Braves back in the game
by hitting Peter Boston in the
end zone with a short pass.
The fired up and resurgent
Braves refused to abandon hope
as their forward wall failed to
give, holding the Cats in check.
Receiving the ball from Southern
after they failed to gain a first
down, Quarterback Buford Magee
connected with Peter Boston as the
hustling end jumped up between
two Southern defenders, grabbed
the ball stumbled and ran 35 yards
into the end zone to knot the
count 1918.
With less than two minutes to
play Southern had moved the ball
to Alcorn's 35 where the Braves

Howard And

Thanksgiving Day
Contestants Are
Oldest Rivals In
Negro Football

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Oct. s.
Howard University and Lincoln

two oldest rivals in Negro college
football, have been selected to play
in the sixth annual Central Inter
collegiate Athletic Associations
National Football Classic.
The game will be played at Grit
fifth Stadium, Washington, D. c.,
Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov
ember oath, at 100 p. m.
The announcement of the selec-
tfon of Howard and Lincoln for this
years Classic was made by Thomas
F. johnson, Classic committee
chairman, at a dinner meeting held
at Howard last night (Tuesday).
At the meeting, which was at
tended by some 100 civic and social
leaders and conference officials,
Johnson also announced plans for
a week of pre-game activity, in
GLIDING athletic and social events
and a mammoth parade.
The announcement of Griffith
Stadium as the site for this years
classic had been made earlier by
CIAA. officials. The classic had
its start in Washington in 1850, but
was shifted to Greensboro, n. c.,
last year. The 1854 crowd of 1000
convinced conference officials that
the game should be returned to the
Nations Capital, according to
Johnson.
In selecting Howard and Lincoln,
Classic officials are bringing to-
gether a pair of rivals which first
met back in 1894. The two char
ter members of the CI.A.A. have
met 49 times; both teams have won
20 games, eight have ended in ties,
and one, the 1889 meeting was de-
clared no contest.
The Classic itself is unique in
that it is the only conference-spon-
sored gridiron pageant in the
country. Founded in 1947 by a
group of Washington businessmen,
it was taken over by the Central
Intercollegiate Athletic Association
in 1850. All proceeds from the
