MAU MAU'S
RETURNING TO
WITCHCRAFT

NAROBI, Kenya - (ANP) -
Because of the wide difference
between what white settlers prac-
tice and what white missionaries
preach, Mau Maus here are re-
turning to witchcraft rather than
the doctrines of Christianity, ac-
cording to a report by S. A. Nor
rison, secretary of the Kenya
Christian Council.
Morrison said that Mau Maus
are now taking up practices
abandoned since the beginning of
the century,"
whatever their importance"
he pointed out, "most Mau Mau
groups now have their own witch
doctor, and many well-educated
members of the groups have went
back to magic"

FOOTBALL

this corner. Mulgado does every

kicks field goals, runs quick and

offensive. He was a tower of
strength to the Arizona team.
Statistics proves this point.
How they could have failed

Bob, is beyond the imagination

OLLIE MATS0N, FEATURED
IN EBONY

Chicago Ollie Matson, the
Chicago Cardinals fleet-footed-
21O-pound pile driving half back,
is featured in the January
EBONY. Matson, described by
opposing teams as a football
coach's dream player, has been
an avid grid fan since he was
seven.
AS a child in his native Trim
ity, Texas, Ollie Genoa Matson,
got so he would roam the side
lines, at Trinity High School
football games. ":At seven," re-
calls his mother, che knew the
game very well. None of lis ever
dreamed we had a clue to what
he'd be as a man."
In 1946, Mrs. Matson, a nurS-
cry school teacher, moved her
family to San Francisco, seek
ing "better conditions" all around
for her 14-year-old son and his
twin sister, Ocie. Ollie enrolled
in the George Washington High
School at the beginning of the
1916 fall semester and hesitant-
ly went out for track. Four
weeks later he won the 220-yard
hurdles. He subsequently played
basketball and baseball before
going out for football. Ollie Scor-
ed his first high school touch
down in 1947 but had become
nationally famous earlier that
year by placing second to world
quarter mile champion Herb
McKenley with a All effort in
the Pacific Coast AAU'S 440-yard
run.
While in high school Matson'
kept level head although
George Washington High girls
formed "MatsonetteS" fan club
for him. After graduating, the
school had a "MatSon Day., re-
tired his jersey, and gilded his
track shoes. Colleges from all
over the country tried to get
MatSon.
When he graduated from San
Francisco, he saw his jersey
again retired to school trophy
case. Once the professional sea-
son is over, Ollie returns to San
Francisco U. to continue work
toward a master degree in edu-
cation.
