we in the South call ''smOthered chicken"
Fried chicken, as know it in the Deep South, is
coated with flour and cooked quickly in deep hot fat
that comes out very crisp and not saturated with
grease What call smothered chicken is Drowned and

SPORTS HAMPERED
BY RACIAL BANS

Behind the cure ent AAU-South
Africa fuss are some simple
facts and a simple S olution. South
Africa invited some of our track
and field men to a meet there,
and the AAU is now checking
with these athletes to see if they
would like to go. This is the way
such internati onal meets are nor
mally arranged; the AAU does
not choose the athletes. The AAU
cannot be held responsible for
the invitati ons.
Clearly, however, theSouth At
ricans ARE responsible. In the
sprints, they did not invite Frank
Budd, Paul Winder or Stone john
son; they snubbed quarter-milers
Otis Davis and Ted Woods and
high jumpers John Thomas and
Charles Dumas. They ignored
hurdling and broad jumping, thus
eliminating Lee Calhoun, Willie
May, Hayes Jones, Dick How
ard, Bo ROBBERS on and Ralph Bos-
ton. All of these men--no sur
prise--are Negroes.
The solution: the AAU should
inform the South Africans that
if they pick and choose among
events and athletes in order to
insure all-white competition, we
will not send any team at all.
