Dear Mr.. Harrison:
rs it considered old-fash-
toned for a singer to keep his
hands at his sides or clasped
in front of him?
Il wonder if others in the
TV audience are irked as much
as 1 when watching a singer
who filings his arms about or
reaches here and there in a
begging manner or looks as II
he is trying to ward of some
unseen danger. I have heard
Arthur Godfrey comment on
these unnecessary motions OF
persons appearing on MS
Talent Scout programs.
Instead of adding to the
performance, in my opinion II
detracts. find myself watch
ing the entertainers hands
rather than listening to the
quality of his voice. Frankly,
the sooner this habit Is
stopped, the better"
I've no objection to ges-
lures and motions-prov1ded
they enhance the total effect
the singer is trying to create.
Godfrey gets f1edgling talent
on his series-performers who
are often in the Initiative"
stage and copy gestures OF a
favored star whether 1t f1ts
their personality or not. There
have been some top perform
ers, incidentally, who got
there by putting over" a song
with only a mediocre voice.
Can you imagine Cantor with
his hands tied to his side?
And remember this, too. A
lot Of singers don't use their
hands simply because they
look terrible when they do.

Tigers dominated 1866 NCAA and
NAIA small college statistics.
Eddie Robinson's formidable de-
voices were listed 13 times among
individual and team leaders in final
tabulations released by the NCAA

from Houston, Texas who gained
1,418 yards rushing and passing to
rank third nationally in total Of
tense.
The pesky scooter also ranked
third nationally in rushing with
1923 yards on ITO carries, and
tenth in scoring with SO points.
A take-charge-guy with rare
qualities of explosiveness, he led
Grabbing to the national Negro
championship in '55 and piloted
them to the coveted third spot ma
tionally this season.
In three seasons Murray has

To-day, more than ever before in

It is especially appropriate to re-
call, at this time, the credo which
is subscribed to by the nations

Press believes that America can
best lead the world away from
racial and national antagonists
when il accords to every man, re-

At the finish. Lycka was three
lengths ahead of Cosmah, with
Lovely Shade third and Evelyn
Miss in the field.
Lycka. who had won the Betsy
Ross Stakes this spring, ran the
mile in 1895 over the grass
course and paid $12.4O. 5000 and
$500. Cosmah returned $40 and
$3.50 and Lovely Shade was
5000 to show.
Before the race, Owner Baylor
Hickman announced that Lycka
would run but twice more this
year He plans to ship her to
Kentucky at the close of this
session and have her make her
next start at Keeneland.
Many of today's entrants had
battled it out in a prep last
week, with Lycka finishing Sec
ond to Mrs. Marion O'Connor's
Land o Liberty. who this AFTER
noon finished far up the track.
The crowd installed her the
choice but she was 10th at the
end.
Behind the top four came Sun

Queen Yvonne and Most Ardent.
Lycka left no doubt about her
grass running ability. She was
tried for the first time last
week and ran so ilnpressively
that she earned a starting berth
today. She went to the front
on her own and seemed to relish
the going, drawing out as her
rider wished.
The most persistent challenge
came from Cosmah. who pressed
the pace practically the entire
trip.
Lovely Shade was in the Sec
ond flight to the half mile pole
when she began to make UP
ground by the hedge and closed
fast. Queen Yvonne and Mabe
Gee showed early speed but as
the field hit full stride they
dropped out Of contention.
