List Young. Caroline
Among IIIini
AII-Time Greats

Chicago CAMP - The names
of two of the University of Illinois
greatest football players last week
were listed among the Big Ten
schools all-time greats.
They were Claude Buddy
Young, a halfback and the sprint
ing ace of the Illini 1914 squad
and ]. c. Caroline, currently of the
Chicago Bears and captain and
speed merchant of Illini team in
1858.
These two Negro players wrote
their names indelibly into the re-
cord books of the university.
Caroline, who was co-captain at
Illini, broke the long-standing re-
cord of 1857 yards established by
Harold (Red) Grange. Grange has
been called the most fabulous play
er in Illinois history. He was nick
named the "Galloping Ghost" back
in his playing days in the early
192Os.
Grange, Young and Caroline
were listed among the top players
since 1919 by sports writer Jack
Clarke of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Clarke listed the other greats as
Chuck Carney 1920, an end; Lou
+ Gordon 1920, tackle; Alex Agase
(1946), guard; Bob Reitsch (192D,

age in college history.
AS the only tan coach in profess
sional basketball, McClendon not
only will be singular but his de-
gree of success is certainly to
measured closely.
He will have a mixed team, fair
ly evenly divided between white
and tan athletes. This sort of COM
bination is nothing new to Nc
Clendon. He coached the Pipers for
two seasons when the team partic-
ipated in the National Basketball
League, nee the National Basket
ball Industrial League. The Pipers
did very well under Johnny and
last year won the championship,
The NBL is something of amat-
eur league, with the players re-
ceiving no money for playing bas-
ketball but have suitable outside
employment.
McClendon's team also copied
the Amateur Athletic Association
title and Johnny merited the honor
of coaching an American team
against the Russians. On his squad
was Jerry Lucas, the great ALL
American at Ohio State.
McClendon has some of the boys
for a venture in the pro realm
Among them are Bill Marley, a
strong pivot or corner player, and
Johnny Barnhill, clever floorman
Both had performed for him al
Tennessee State when McClendon's
teams were winning the Nationa,
Intercollegiate Athletic Associa,
tons titles.
Right now, the most important
cog in McClendon's plans has beer
sidelined by litigation. Dick Barn
hill, who was a star last season
with the Syracuse Mats, jumped
to the Pipers and his old coach Che
also played at Tennessee STATED
A court ruling has barred Barnhil
from playing with the Cleveland
team pending a final disposition
Others on the Pipers' roster in
clude Gus Guydon, a dunk shot
artist from Drake University
Grady McCollum, a holdover from
last years Pipers, and Rossie John
son, also from Tennessee State.
The founder of the American
League is none other than ABB
Saperstein, whose Harlem Globt
Trotters will be used as hypo pur
poses at the gate when necessary
Saperstein, who will be the com

some real vigorous shaking is
necessary.
If, after a number of
shakes, you do not hear the
marble rafting in the can,
invert the can and allow it
to remain in this position.
The marble will fall away

Move the nozzle parallel to

Another important tip is to

off those many small touch
up jobs that did not warrant
the effort of cleaning the
brush after the job was COM
plete. With a little practice
anyone can develop into an
expert painter and do work
superior to that possible with
a brush.
1t is the elimination of this
. brush-cleaning job that par
ticularly appeals to us, but
there are other advantages
also. Unused paint in a spray
can stays fresh for a long
time and does not dry out
or have a thick scum form
over the top, as so often hap
pens with partially used cans
of ordinary paint.
These factors seem to make
the higher cost per quart of
paint easily justified. 1t is
not expected that you will at
tempt to paint a house in
this manner. but there are
enough small painting jobs
around a house to warrant
keeping an assortment of col
ors on hand.
There are a few simple rules
to follow in spray painting.
The first one is that the

Vote August "a
On Wheat Quota

Wheat producers will vote
on August "a on whether or
not marketing quotas will be
in effect for the 1862 wheat
crop. Ethan A. Porter, Chair
man of Agricultural Stabili-
cation and Conservation Com
mittee, reminded growers to-
day. Quotas for the crop were
proclaimed by the Secretary
of Agriculture on May II, but
setting of the referendum date
was deferred, pending action
to provide an improved wheat
program for the crop.
In setting the August "a re-
ferendCm date, Secretary
Freeman said. "The decision
that farmers make is extreme
ly important to them and to
the rest of the Nation not only
for 1862 but also for many
years to come. The program
available with quotas in effect
would be far different from
that which could be operated
without quotas"
While action has not yet
been completed on a new
wheat program, the date for
the referendum on 1862 wheat
marketing quotas is being set
now in order that as many
producers as possible may be
apprised of the voting time.
All eligible producers will be
encouraged to participate in
the referendum, making their
desires known through a free
vote.
If quotas are approved by
at least two-thirds of the far
mers who vote in the August
"a referendum, cooperators
will be eligible for 1862 wheat
