SPORTS WITH STODY
BY RALPH WARD

From historic ivy covered Harvard Stadium up in
the press box, I found the Harvard opener against
TUFTS very interesting for the Jumbo Eleven and its
rooters, but for us odtimerS living in the shadows
OF Harvard it was far from pleasant The green Har
ward line seemed like tissue paper against the visiting
Varsity frontier. But the Crimson backs are pretty
good and if the Harvard line develops better blocking
and interference such talented yoeen as JoSlin Bots
ford Stahura and Gianelly will be able to often
The Harvard pass offensive poor in the opener,
the receivers not being in position to latch onto the
ball. While don't envy JordanS task of injecting
more practice and tutoring of this squad there is
nevertheless, much promise of potential Joslin is a
good shifty back and if shaken loose will go places
Gianely is powerful line plunger even when he has
to knock couple of his own men to cross the
scrmmage line On the brighter side, the enthusiasm
at Tufts is at its highest point. The JumboS brought
large crowd from Medford to cheer their best team
in years on to well deserved victory which stars like
Fish Ellis unable to fashion years ago. Of course
to us Cambridge and Crimson supporters it was a
sad day as we recalled some of the greater Harvard
immortals like Bill Lewis George Owen Ben Tichnor,
Eddie Casey, the Horweens, Hammond, Buell., Barry
Wood and Others Well, Harvard won last week!
SCHOOLBOY ATHLETICS
Speaking of football, recalls some of our departed
friends, all who good athletes back in the Cold
en- Twentes" and think of them often. Ernest Fats
Hughes, all scholastic tackle for Rindge was probably
the greatest. Then there were such Rndge stars as
Giles Paine guard Bill Coleman end and backded;
Bob Enquist backfeld AL Lassman tackle two Rindge
track stars, Marcus Cragwell and Eddie Burke. And
those stars from Latin, Reddy Hiliard and Eldridge
Thornton two brilliant backs
These days you dona ind many colored lads
participating in schooboy sports and it looks like
lot of them have given up sports for the "hot rod
and motor They have to work to pay for these
vehicles, SO that doesn't allow them any spare time
for sports. This is pity since greater opportunity
looms today for all coored athletes And through ath-
letcs many have gained good education and good jobs
CHARLES UNCLE
How about tribute to Unces? would like to
write about the uncle of Olympic star Charlie Jenkins
whose uncle Malcolm jenkins, was tremendous ath-
lete and student beloved byhis entire community. NAL
come was outstanding in both football and track. He
was musician who entertained his many friends with
piano artistry From high school stardom, Nal exceed
in track at Boston University and in football he was
a team-mate of the great Micky Cochran, Another
schoolmate was other than popular George Hig-
ley, a camera man at the Central Square Theatre.
These two as students, great friends and even
tualy formed little orchestra to help supplement
their earnings over the week-endS Charles Uncle,
NAL inspiring in his quest for education He work
ed night and day until the law of averages caught up
with him. He worked too hard and fatally strck-
en- in his youth without reaching his cherished goal
There is no doubt Macome Jenkins was great in
spiration to his nephew Charlie and has helped lead
to Charles present fame. l haven't had chance to
speak with Charlie since he has been home but we all
wish him success in the coming Australian OlympicS
Australia is swell country and enjoyed it during
my stay with the Red Cross,
