outstanding performers, from time
to time, as Brud Holland, Levi
Jackson and Johnny Bright, just
to name three, were the victims
of having. too much visibility in
skin augmentation.
1t seems ironic that the honor
comes at a time when tan athletes
had at least three of the top as
pirants. Davis was pushed by Bob
Ferguson, Ohio States outstanding
fullback. Another solid contender
was Sandy Stephens, Minnesotas
fine triple threat quarterback.
Not to take anything away from
the 212-pound Orange half-back,
both Ferguson and Stephens would
have made enviable recipients of
the trophy.
To use quibbling, though, since
Davis won it.
This is certainly one of the
happiest days in my. life" he said.
His credentials for winning the
honors certainly were impressive.
In leading Syracuse to a 7-to-3
season, he broke four records es-
tablished by another Orangeman,
the great Jimmy Brown, now of
the Cleveland Browns.
New career marks at Syracuse
set by Davis included rushing
1856, total yards (3,41D, scor-
ing (22O points, and touchdowns
1857.
A product of Uniontown, Pa,
and Elmira, NY, Davis was an
all-around athlete in high school.
At Syracuse, he skipped other
sports his sophomore season, but
last year he turned out for basket
ball after the cage coach sent him
an sos. When Bowl competition
is over, he expects again to turn
to basketball.
When the Heisman award win
ner was announced, Orange coach
Ben Schwartzwalder said:
1--WE knew he was the best foot
ball player in the United States.
We're very happy everyone else
agrees with U.s."
Davis was sure to be a high
draft choice when the National
Football league coaches and own
ers met this week in Chicago. He
already was the first draft choice
in a secret poll conducted by
American Football League owners.
George Preston Marshall, owner
of the Washington Redskins, who
has been under fire for not using
tan talent, promised earlier this
year that Davis would be his first
choice. Washington, without VIC
tory in NIL competition this year,
will have the first pick.
Davis terrific speed made him
a dangerous pass receiver as well
as runner. He also was a strong
defensive performer.

Americans Might

Princess Anne, Maryland. - I'm
til all vestiges of "hyphenated Am
ericanism" are erased, there can
be no yardstick for measuring
what our way of life displays tc
the world as an American-in-full
That was the admonition voiced
by Whitney M. Young, Jr., execu,
tive director of the National Urban
League, at the fifth annual leader,
ship convocation of Maryland
State College here, in which AZ
student leaders were honored.
THE Negro citizen" said Mr.
Young. "aspires only to be ar
American in full, with all the
rights and privileges - and all Of
the obligations and duties-there,
by pertaining. But there can be nc
double standard of citizenship
We cannot take pride in a mode Of
living that can become a figure
of speech - a standard in which
some find jobs a drudgery, il
which young men and women CAM
afford a family"
The Urban League leader
scored a tendency of Americans
to worship gods of material ad-
vancement" to a point where the
people find themselves almost
trapped by mOnstrOus weapons
we have devised"
He drew an analogy between g

gress remain tied in many of theil
potentials by discrimination and 6

we'd and thirsted to death in the
midst of unlimited riches.
I'VE might well find ourselves
entombed to our death in a dia.
mond mine of materialism," Mr.
Young warned.
LAS Americans we find our
selves, even with our rich re
sources, unable to understand the
chronic unemployment which still
besets us, the growing needs o.
our health and welfare agencies
the fact that islands Of abject pow
erty exist in this sea Of plenty"
He declared that Americans "art
very mature in our inventive skills
but wantonly immature as to the
price we must pay for the socia
disorganization which follows. HI
urged that the nation take gravC
note Of the consequences to "a soc
iety which focuses on industrial
efficiency while neglecting the hu
man resources so crucial to pro
duction as we'll as to consumption.
Mr.. Young cautioned that NJ
longer will it be adequate for tn
Negro citizen to compare himsel
only with other Negroes, but to b.
prepared to compete with all"
Through no fault of our own
many bear the scars of generation
of deprived opportunities" he said
THE Negro at best holds only
bridgehead on American demo
cracy. What shall be our credent
ials into the brave new world
Shall we go as Neanderthal men
weighted down with suspicious
fears and hatreds, or as men AM
women erect and unafraid? Ma,
we do the latter then, not out o
fear of other political ideologies o
actual determination, but out of ,
love and understanding for PEG
pie"
Mr.. Young assured that tn
Urban League movement will con
tinue to throw itself Wgorousl.
into this effort, offering its serv
ices both to those who make tn
decisions in our public and privat
life, as we'll as to those who STAN
to benefit from a newer, NOR
