Soruh Vaughn
Doesn't Use Derby
Seufs Requested

Louisville, Ky. (ANP) - Singer
Sara Vaughan, who has been crit
icised via the press and radio here
because of her previous un-coop-
erative attitude was up to her
usual procedure during her visit
here for the 85th run of the Ken
lucky Derby.
The eccentric mite club star
started off her escapades with a
long distance phone call from Mi
ami, to Louisville Defender pub
Usher, Frank L. Stanley. Her re-
quests were for two-box seats at
the annual turf classic.
Already filled to a capacity with
requests from numerous out-of-
town guests, the newspaperman,
publisher, promoter and veteran
sports official asked two Of his
guests to relinquish their reserva-
tons for the Mercury recording
artist and her husband, Clyde B.
Atkins. Good naturedly, they COM
piled.
In addition he arranged for liv-
ing accommodations for the Atkins
at the home of his long standing
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Walls.
Upon arrival at the Walls resid-
ence, the Atkins locked themselves
in their room, refused to receive
anyone and insisted on room serv-
ice. The Walls have a maid.
An hour before post time, they
told the Stanleys' via phone, I'VE
have decided to go to the track
with some entertainer friends of
ours. They can get us in free"
1t was later disclosed that Sassy
again. changed her mind and re-
manned at the Walls home playing
with their hosts two dogs on the
back porch.
What Miss Vaughan wasn't
aware of was the following things:
The two persons who chose to put
themselves out were Mr.. Stanley
and his son Frank Leslie, Jr. All
seating reservations for the Derby
are made year in advance. Last,
Mrs. Atkins set precedents in
achieving all this without exhib-
iting any gratitude whatsoever.

High Jump Champ.
Thomas. Leaves
Boston u. For Rest

Boston CAMP - World high
jump champion John Thomas, who
has been having trouble keeping
up with his studies since he in
jured his "jumpin" foot in an
accident last March "a. dropped
out of Boston university last week,
it was officially reported.
Thomas foot was mangled in
an elevator accident at the univ
ersity, where he is a freshman
student. He underwent a skin
grating operation more than two
weeks ago and has been ordered
to rest the foot.
According to Thomas, doctors
warned him against "even wiggling
my toes" until it is certain an
eight inch skin graft on top of his
left foot has successfully healed.
Thomas is expected to re-enron
at the university next fall.
The injury came at the height
Of Thomas spectacular career. He
set a new world indoor record for
the high jump in the knights of
Columbus meet at Boston Jan. IT,
and then became the first man to
scale 7 feet indoors in the Melrose
Games at New York City 16 days
later.
Thomas scored his most spec
tacular triumph in the United
States Championships at New
York City, Feb. 81 when he leaped
7 feet, 1 IA inches, the best record
ever indoors or outdoors.
On the basis of these perform
ances, Amateur Athlete, official
publication of the Amateur Athlet-
ic Union, in its May issue, rated
Thomas the top athlete of 1859.
Thomas will forego all track
a activities during the summer
months. However, medics said he
will be able to resume his athletic
career after the leg has healed.

WHITES FIGHT WHITES
IN VIRGINIA'S
DISSERTATION WAR

Norfolk, Va CAMP - White
people in this seashore city, the
largest in Virginia, are having a
lot of trouble among themselves
because of school desegregation.
The fight between Negroes and
white people has developed into a
situation involving fights between
groups of white citizens. This
fight is developing in almost every
community in Virginia.
A point in case is the fact that
DR.. Herman NJ. Williams, assistant
superintendent of schools in Nor
folk in charge of curriculum and
instruction, recently resigned to
accept an associate professorship
at Colorado State College.
1t is reliably reported that the
school crisis over desegregation is
one of the reasons DR.. Williams
resigned. He believes that the fu-
ture of public schools in Norfolk
is highly uncertain and that it
will be many years before the
school system will be operated
under favorable circumstances.
The assistant school superintend-
ent was opposed to the closing of
the six secondary schools because
of the federal courts desegrega-
ton order to admit qualified Ne
groes to those schools. On this
point he said:
II find it difficult to believe that
six Junior and senior high schools
in Norfolk are closed at a time
when every intellectual nerve and
sinew should be strained for more
mature citizenship

LARRY DOLBY BACK
IN SoX FOLD

Boston CANP) - Larry Dolby,
nuch-traded American League out
fielder, returned to the Chicago
White Sox last Wednesday. He was
purchased from the Detroit Tigers
for about $4,000, an amount
slightly above the waiver price.
Dolby first came to the White
Sox from Cleveland in 1856. He
batted .26S that season and in
creased his average to .288 the
following year, leading the club in
runs batted in.
However, he evidently didn't
quite measure up to what the Sox
expected of him, and the Pale
Hose traded him off to Baltimore,
who in turn traded him to Cleve-
land, who traded him to Detroit,
who traded him back to the Sox.
Quite a traveller, that Dolby.

N.Y.U. Elects Tom
Sanders 1880
Cuqe Capfoin

New York (ANP)-Tom "Satch"
Sanders. New York Universitys
All-Metropolitan center and a like
ly All-America candidate in 1859
so, has been elected captain Of
next years Violet basketball team.
Coach Lou Rossini announced the
selection last Thursday, MAY 14)
at NYU's annual AIl-Sports Dinner
on the University Heights campus.
Sanders, an agile 6-6, succeeds
the Violets' brilliant Cal Ramsey.
Last winter, as a junior, Satch be-
came the 18th NYU player in his
tory to score more than 300 points
in a single season. In % games he
tossed in 1855 points and hauled
down 258 rebounds. In two varsity
seasons he has accounted for 614
points and SIP rebounds.
The new NYU captain is also
a ball hawk and a fine defensive
performer, but it was as a sharp
shooter that he gained national
prominence last year. During the
1889 season Sanders hit on 131
of 236 shots from the field for
remarkable 555 percentage, the
fifth best in the nation.
In commenting on Sanders cleo
ton, Rossini said, THE squad
couldn't have made a better choice.
I expect that next season Tom will
blossom forth as a true AIl-Amer-
lean. The only fault 1 can find
with him is that he doesn't shoot
enough.
Sanders, a marketing major in
NYU's School of Commerce, &C
counts, and Finance, resides at
10 West 116th Street, New York.
He is a graduate of Manhattan's
Seward Park High School.
