tests played by the Tigers last
season. The big Charleston boy
has speed, skill, and determine
ton to put him right on top dur
ing the coming season.
Carl Belts from Corinth has
been shifted to end because of his
terrific speed. Ernest Williams
from Pascagoula has been the
source of much praise because of
his expert ball handling from the
"T" quarterback slot. Williams
and Jack Witty from Greenwood
will give the Tigers two experience
ed quarterbacks for next fall. Per-

happen during the entire spring
practice session was the return
to the fold of Napoleon Skinner

additional forward wall insurance.
John King, 100 pound back from
Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, has finally
begun to show the great running
and blocking ability that has been
expected of him. He is by far the
most improved player on the squad
and at this writing is giving "Big
Bob" great competition for the
starting fullback berth. Of course,
Merritt's little men, B. B. Johnson

$4,000 year.
The school was started in 1909

With the aid of gifts from his

then into a barn constructed from
donated lumber.
Contributions from people all

campus accommodating about 500

Courses at the scholl range

two trades in addition to academic
subjects, and many earn their tut

CLOSEUP
BY FRITZ POLLARD

NEW YORK, (GlobaD - Wher-
ever people gather to trade OF
just "chew the fat" around this
town, the talk is about young Ell
son Howard, whom the Yankees
have brought up this year.
At the Smoke Shop over on Am
sterdam Avenue, and the Barber
Shop on the corner, the consensus
seems to be that the Yanks would
let Howard start the season and
maybe play around so games, and
then trade him. The cab driver
who brought US uptown didn't
agree. He thought the Yanks
would use Howard this year, that
he believed they finally had found
the right boy.
Had lunch at the Press Club
downtown the other day, and found
the correspondents from the daily
papers talking the same thing. But
they seemed to feel that Howard
would join the team and become
a regular - that is, the first sea-
son he would be second string
catcher or outfielder, but would be
a permanent addition to the roster.
Some of them defended the Yam
KEGS in their action on choosing
Negro player. They said they
felt the first Negro Yankee should
be tops - have everything. He
should be exceptional in every
sense - not only a good player,
but a good mixer and person of
high moral character and intelli-
gence. Up to now, they say, they
haven't found such a paragon of
virtue. However, in young How
ard, they think they now have "the
man."
We sincerely hope so.

Fund Ban Backed
On Mixed Schools
In South Carolina

COLUMBIA, s. c., April AThe
South Carolina Senate has voted to
deny state financial aid to any
mixed race public schools. II was
this states first direct legislative
action aimed at keeping segrega-
ton.
An amendment to the 1856
appropriations bill would withhold
the fund from any school attended
by children not approved by local
school trustees, whether the chill
dren were attending by court order
or not.
The amendment, which passed
second reading without debate and
without a dissenting vote, was Of
fered by Senate members of a state
committee which Is studying how
to keep racially segmented schools
in the face of a United States
Supreme Court decision outlawing
them. The court will hear argu-
ments in April on methods of i'm
plementing its decision.
South Carolina voters already
have ratified an amendment to the
Constitution which abolishes a pro-
vision that the state maintain a
public school system. The Legis-
lature now could order a system Of
private schools.
The amendment adopted simply
provides that "for the time that
any pupil shall by order of the
court attend a school other than
that which he or she is now attend
ing, or may be assigned to at
tend by the local board of trustees
it (the schooD shall get no
