Rose Bowl Sells
Bump Elliott Soys

DETROIT, May IA (AP).-
Bump Elliott, new head foot
ball coach at the University of
Michigan, said yesterday that
as a coach and player he had
been to the Rose Bowl twice,
adding: Il like it. And it's a
pretty good selling wedge"
The Big Ten is scheduled to
decide in two weeks whether it
wants to continue the post
season Rose Bowl game with
the Pacific Coast Conference.
Interviewed in the Detroit
News weekly sports quiz. Ell
lott was asked whether drop
ping of the Rose Bowl game
might hurt recruiting. He
answered:
There is a definite posi-
bility that it'll hurt the whole
Big Ten. Kids watch that
game on TV for years, dreaming
that some day they'll get to
play IN it. Thus, they're more
likely to go to a Big Ten school
than outside"

New York, March 26.-The wide
" publicized letter of Carleton
Putnam, a transplanted northern
er, has been cited as additional
evidence Of the superficiality Of
the segregation cause by John A.
Morsen. assistant to the executive
secretary Of the NAACP.
Arguing that Negroes are basic
ally inferior, the Putnam letter
is appearing in numerous news
papers across the country and is
being financed by segregationists.
It advances the idea that the Ne
gro is not yet a citizen entitled
to enjoy full rights under the Con-
stitution and that the Supreme
Court exceeded its authority in
banning racial segregation.
In his critical commentary, DR..
Morsell says that the letter is
not an especially distinguished
addition to the running battle Of
words over the u. s. Supreme
Courts desegregation rulings"
"Mr. Putnam has not clarified
any of the issues and has come
up with no new and relevant
facts" DR.. Morsell counters. He
has produced only one more rudi-
re-hash Of the standard
southern principle that Negroes
ought to let white men have the
sole right to determine when and
on what terms Negroes shall be
allowed to enjoy the benefits of
society"
