ANNAPOLIS, Sept. %
Against Navy here Saturday,
Coach Milt brewer wants both
his william & Mary football
team and the weather to play
it cool.
The Indians are going to be
something like 21-point under
dogs against the Middies, but
brewer, forever hopeful, figures
there is a chance if his sopho-
moreS remain cool and if the
weather turns cooler. Wayne
Hardin, the Navy coach, is pre-
pared to take things as they
come.
The Middies' only problem
this week appears to be largely
mental, but Hardin doesn't
seem overly concerned. He
figures his club will be hungry
enough. "We haven't won a ball
game yet" he explains simply.
Lost Nine Straight
brewer says he is praying for
lower temperatures because his
first unit, with little behind it,
will have to play most of the
way. AS brewer puts it, Vir-
ginia last week Just wore down
his club in 90-degree weather
for a 21-6 triumph. The week
before, his Sophs flustered
momentarily and Virginia Tech
came from behind with three
touchdownS in less than four
minutes for 20-6 conquest.
W&M has lost nine straight
in carryover string from last
year and the trouble, brewer
says, is that he doesn't have
enough Indians. I'VE think
our first ball club could give
people a pretty good game, but
we've got only six or seven
capable reserves"
Steve Belichick's scouting re-
port for Navy adds the ditto
After that first team" he
says, they're really hurting y
Belichick points out that
W&M has threats in alternat-
ing quarterbacks Dan Barton
ION the roll-out) and Dan
Henning Con the pass, plus a
first-clasS halfback in Roger
Hale, once billed as "the great
est Hale since Nathan" The
other firSt-unit halfback,
Sophomore Charlie Weaver, is
injured and will be replaced
by another sophomore, Bob
Malarkey.
Four SOphs to Start
All told. W&M figures to
start four sophs, including
both tackles. The line so far
hasn't provided much running
room for the backs. In the
Virginia defeat, W&M gained
only seven yards net rushing.
The lone touchdown came on a
pass interception and that may
illustrate a serious Indian draw
back, the lack of an offensive
wallop. They've scored only
four touchdowns in that nine
game losing streak.

Buffalo Wins
Little Series

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. %
(AP).-Off to a f1aShy start
when the Little World Series
was begun 81 years ago, Buff
falo won two straight. Now the
Bisons finally own another title.
Five times since that 1904
inaugural of the minor league
World Series Buffalo has
knocked at the door, but this
year the Bisons finally made it
with a four-game sweep over
Louisville.
An added slap by the Inter
national League representatives
came when Buffalo's rookie
righthander, Paul Brown, al
lowed Louisville only one
scratchy hit in a 40 shutout
last night that took the title.
Buffalo's last pennant-and
last shot at the Little World
Series-came in 1857 when Den
yer of the American Association
bounced the BiSons, four games
to one. Buffalo also appeared
as the loser, in the 1886, 1888
and 1927 playoffS.
The lone Louisville hit came
when Lee Tate snapped one
back to the mound and the bal
DETECTED off Browns glove.
Buffalo got three of it's runs
in the third inning when BOZ
Sadowski singled to right, Tony
Curry walked, Felix Torres
singled in a run, Don Mincher'S
hit scored another and a sacri-
flee fly by Jim Frey added the
third.

Mother Gets Jail
For Locking Up
Young Children

PEORIA, HI, May q (AP).
"A mother who admitted
locking two Of her children
in a closet most Of six years
because, she said, she didn't
want to be bothered" has been
sentenced to three to five years
in prison.
Mrs. Elizabeth Lou BlevinS,
33, was sentenced yesterday
after she pleaded guilty to COM
mitting cruelty to the children,
Amber, 8, and Charles, IL.
Mrs. Blevins was arrested a
month ago when police found
the naked, underfed children
locked in a closet in her home.
She later told authorities the
youngsters subSisted for some
periods on a diet of dog food.
Still pending are indictments
against Mrs. Bernadine Geraci.
49, Mrs. Blevins' landlady, and
another tenant, George Mont

police she, too, locked the chill

eases.
The people, generally, don't
live long enough to get cancer.
Machine Questioned
Why a cobalt machine?
1--WE need it here like we need
a hole in the head" an Ameri-
can doctor said, "but the deci-
sion came from Washington"
This is a not-unusual example
/ of how American money is
being spent in Asia, supposedly
to impress Asiatic people with
our helpfulness. Countless
dollars have been spent in the
wrong places and for the wrong
things.
This conclusion Is supported
by high-ranking health officials
both native and American
in nearly every nation visited
by Vice President Johnson.
It also is an opinion shared
by DR.. James Cain, the Vice
Presidents personal physician
and chief of the department Of
internal medicine at the Mayo
Clinic.
Mr.. Johnson's tour took him
to the Philippines. Wet Nam,
Formosa, Hong Kong, Thailand,
India and PakiStan.
One doctor tells the story OF
a powerful and. expensive elec-
tron microscope sent from the
United States to another PAX
istani city.
ITO my knowledge, it has
never been used" he said.
Fancy Things Hit
The doctors agreed that much
money is being spent on fancy
facilities unrelated to major
health needs. They furnish a
shiny monument to which
American and local officials
alike can point and say: Look
what we did for you"
From a prestige standpoint,
how valuable are these medical
facilities?
One doctor put it this way:
Il doubt that enough people
know what 1t is or where 1t
came from for it to have any
real effect"
In every nation visited where
medical facilities were toured,
either one or more cobalt ma
chimes were in place or on their
way.
DR.. Cain said the principal
need Of the Southeast Asian
nations is not for doctors
trained in the American
fashion.
New Delhi, India, for in
stance, has a surplus of doctors.
There are so many there that
many find it almost impossible
to make a living. Karachi is
in a similar situation.
The emphasis should be on
preventive medicine and pub
lie health programs, not cura-
tive medicine.

ing through one Of many
poorer colored sections in the
Capital. AS he glanced at the
alleys and buildings he threw
up his hands and said:
There it is. That's the way
they're living. How are you 60
ing to make white people un-
derstand that?"
No one can fully under
stand unless he's been in the
homes, and even then it is only
a superficial impression. At
least the visitor can leave: he
isn't forced to live that way.
One Home
Let's take one home in the
central part Of the city as an
example. It Is not as bad as
many others, but in its way 1t
is typical.
The house is brick, attached,
painted a drab white. An alley
where the children play runs
behind the home. From the
back window you can see the
rear Of similar homes. Garbage
and papers add to the back
yard scene.
Inside, there is a living room,
two bedrooms and a small
kitchen. The basement Is dirt
Paint is peeling from the cell
ings and walls. Against one
wall in the living room is a
couch, its springs broken. There
are two frayed easy chairs. one
of them covered with a blan-
ket.
The room is lighted by a sin
gle bulb in the middle of the
ceiling. The house is heated
by a gas heater in the living
room. In the other rooms there
Is no heat.
In the corner by the only
window in the room is an old
console radio. On top Of this is
a TV set and a jar with a
plant. In other homes such as

They Stand Guard
Anything which threatens tc
pull down his neighborhood
brings an immediate reaction
from the Negro. In Michigan
Park, for instance, two things
happened after the section be-

illustrate how the Negro feels
about his home.

resident said, Il noticed one
family on the block had al
lowed another family to move
in with them. The rest of us
got together and agreed we
were not going to let that hap
pen in our neighborhood.
I'VE checked on the District
coming and found out we were
zoned for one-family dwellings
We went to. that house and
told the owner either they got
the other family out or we'd
notify the District government
They got out.
Then not long after that
noticed a Cadillac was stopping
each morning in front Of a
house on the block. I suspected
it was q pickup for the num-
bers racket. So I went to the
house and told the man what
thought.
"The owner fumed and

house, the walls are bare.
The rent is $67.50 a month

The emphasis should be on the

pie rather than facilities. Med

Plan"
And a doctor in Karachi
commented:

a dozen people here. Rural

dents also express concern
about "the Southwest people"
who have moved into their area
because of the urban renewal
program.
Their fear is that Negroes
who have been relocated from
Southwest are used to living in
slum conditions and will bring
those habits with them.
Another concern Is public
housing projects. Some Negroes
will say such a project often
marks the beginning Of deteri-
Grafton of a good neighborhood.
They mean Negroes may
move into the area who destroy
property, roam the streets at
night and make no attempt to
keep the neighborhood clean.
ITO be honest, you've got to
say that a lot Of the Negroes
in poorer conditions drag us
down." a Negro teacher said.
I'm sorry to say that some
of them won't follow the lead
ership of whites or Negroes.
Some of them won't cooperate
with a neighborhood cleanup
campaign or urban renewal.
IF we could get them to
accept city living. to accept
the responsibilities Of citizen
ship, we'd have a start. There
has to be a beginning some

The Negro who owns his

the Capital are colored-often
expresses a fierce pride In his
neighborhood.
He probably has had to fight
) his way up the economic lad
der, and he Is determined to
improve his neighborhood. 1t is
common to meet Negro home
owners who have two jobs. The
man may work for the Govern
ment in the day and drive a
cab at night. Often, his wife
also works full time.
In time, the Negro hopes to
move into even better sections.

suburbs never sees the nice
Negro sections. If he did, he
probably wouldn't associate
them with his idea Of Negro
neighborhoods.
AS an example of one of those
sections consider the expert
ence of a colored man.
When William j. moved into
his small home in Brookland
II years ago there was only
one other Negro family on the
block. Now only Negroes live
there.
He had never owned a home
before, he said. and he knew
the price he paid probably was
too high.
"I guess I could have bought
:, q cheaper place." he said, "but
. it's what you want that counts.
The cheaper place probably
wouldn't be as nice"
After the neighborhood
changed from white to colored,
he and his neighbors Clipped
in and bought one lawn mower
for the block. Then they bought
hand tools. They pass them
along from house to house.
