Linemen Co-Capts.
Of Grabbing
Football Team
By COLLIE J. NICHOLSON

GRAMBLING, La. Especially -
Two rugged linemen, gifted at
clearing the way for backfield exc
cutors, will serve as co-captains of
the '55 Grambling College football
team.
The whale-sized co-captains are
Joe Dixon, a 265-pound guard from
Houston, Texas, and Willie Davis,
220-pound tackle from Texarkana,
Ark. Both are expected to keep
the runway free Of enemy traffic.
Dixon, an all Midwest confer
ence performer before entering SER
vice in '53, is a ow-charger with
a pounce like a piney woods bob
cat. He'll accent the dash of back
field mates when the Tigers un-
bandage their single-wing Sept. IL.
Davis raised all-American echoes
during the "a campaign before in
juries forced him to take blow.
He is long-muscled, exceptional

GRAMBLING, La.-(SpeciaD -
Coach Eddie Robinson starts his
14th season at Grambling college
Sept. II with uncertain tools in the
backfield and seasoned manpower
in the line.
A capable gridiron craftsman,
the coach views the campaign with
rosy, but not necessarily glowing
optimism.
He refuses to say his boys are on
their way positively, but it is obvi-

improve on last years disappoint-

Sixty athletes are trying to earn
steady jobs in daily drills.
The Tigers gave a top-off of '55

they scored 167 points in the last
five games. For the first time in
several seasons, Robbie will have
experience in moderate chunks.

CLOS UP
Nv FRITZ POLLARD

New York, (GlobaD - A long
time ago, people began to say they
were tired of hearing Jackie Robin
sons name - tired of reading
about him. Not that they didn't
admire him, but they felt that
whenever Negroes latch onto a
hero, they never let him go.
Well, anybody who is tired about
hearing and reading about Mr..
John Roosevelt Robinson had better
get rested. Because said Mr.. Rob-
inson is going to make good sports
copy for long time, and he will
continue to make good copy even
after he hangs up his spikes.
Jackie is that kind of ballplayer.
Everybody remembers how he
sparked the team when he first
came up to the Dodgers. He was a
hitting, running, fielding sensation.
He had speed, deadly accuracy, and
q will to win. And he made news
lots of it. Today's Jackie hasn't
the speed he once had, and he
fumbles occasionally. But he still
has the will to win, and when he's
in the game, everybody knows he
wants to come out on top.
And so, even though his legs
have lost a little of their spring,
he still has the fans on the edge
of their seats when he gets on
first. Those who realize he has
slowed down a little would rather
he would take it a little easy and
not take such a long lead away
from the first sack; but it's al
wavs a thrill to see him there, and
he's good to wake up any crowd.
However he deteriorates in terms
of physical fitness, as long as
Jackie Robinson keeps spark of
interest in the game, he'll figure
in every sparkling play on the
field. He's just that kind of a
player.

A Cool Hog Is A Live Hog

Hot weather is mighty rough on
today's hogs unless steps are taken
to keep them cool-cool on the
farm and cool especially on the
way to market. Hogs are strictly
temperate animals when it comes
to temperature, and since man has
bred them to reach market weight
in a limited length of time it's up
to man to help them overcome
these unnatural handicaps.
Shade, cool water, fresh air and
coo1 place to lie down have to
be provided by their owners and
transporters.
Yes, once upon a time the ances-
tor of today's hog was a darn good
forager, being lean of limb and
fleet on foot He was no stranger
to the cool, dark recesses of the
country's virgin forests and his
footsteps beat path to the nearest
water hole.
That is true no longer. Today
his feed awaits him in well filled
self feeders, because he is too
busy putting on weight to go root
ing for it. Fresh water, and a
clean place to lie down in the
shade are just as vital as his feed
supply.
And when it comes time for to-
days hog to go to market he has
to have first class accommodations.
You can't pack him in a truck or
rail car like humans in a sub
way train at rush hour. He has
to have non-skidding bedding sand
is best of all-and that sand should
be wet down frequently in hot
weather. He has to have venti-
lation, because of all market ami
mails today's hog has the smallest
lung capacity for his weight. And
what's more he doesn't sweat so
occasionally sprinkling him with
cool water and wetting the bed
ding on the trip to market is aw-
fully good insurance for his safe
arrival
AS one hog man said a long time
ago, a hog with a wet belly is a
live hog.
