Relays Triumph
Makes Spiingarn
Threat for Title
BY BOB HANSON

When Cardozo High won the
scholastic section of The Star
Games last January at the Ar
Imory and Spingarn ran third,
there was no reason to figure
Cardozo other than a favorite in
the coming outdoor meets.
The Clerks went off with the
support of most fans yesterday
lat Tech to take the Interhigh
Relays for the third straight
year. Tech was given a chance
Ioff its runnerup performance
last year. but Spingarn was
overlooked by the majority.
Spingarn turned up the win
lner. however. with a third place
finish in the last event deciding
the issue. 1t won three of the
eight events and scored in all of
them to nose out Cardozo. 1925,
Tech, in contention all the way,
was third with % points. The
rest of the field never was in it.
Armstrong had AZ points. Wilson
"A, Anacostia 3, Eastern and
Phelps ! each and Dunbar "
point. Coolidge and Roosevelt
failed to score.
The next outing for Spingarn
will be the Penn Relays April
1921 at Philadelphia, but the
big one it is pointing for is the
lInterhigh championships late
next month. Of its performance
yesterday, Spingarn is definite
threat.

Washington, D. c., July 90 -
The Senate debate on the civil
rights bill has spotlighted more
than ever the question of the Me-
gro's access to the ballot in the
South.
The future political effect of
legislation to protect Negro voting
rights remains to be seen, but it
should act as a spur to increased
Negro voting in IL Southern

ida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississip-
pi, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Texas and Vir-
ginia.
During the past 10 years Negro
registration in those states has
risen gradually but steadily. In
1947 there were $4,000 registered
Negroes. But 1852, this number
had risen to 1,O0S,614. In 1856,
