MississiPPians Cheer Their
Football Heroes From
Ain,h In Ar lNoPNS ToNye


Jackson, Miss. (ANP) - The
current Indignation crisis at Ok
ford graphically points up the
Ivory Tower" type of football
played by the University of Miss
issippi.
Ole Miss football games are
watched entirely by white persons.
Likewise, there are no Negroes on
the playing field.
Alone among state supported
universities in the nation, the univ
ersity and its sister school, Miss
issippi State, refuse to schedule
athletic contests either at home or
away against teams using Negro
players
This causes athletic officials
great pain, since it has kept teams
out of football bowl games, the
National Collegiate basketball
tournament and other special
events.
Private parties and rallies prior
to game time are usually well
soaked with alcohol though this is
supposedly a dry state.

watch even a lily-white xxx team
get beaten Sunday after Sunday.
Then, last fall, Secretary of the
Interior Stewart Udall entered the
picture. Udall told Marshall that
unless he integrated his team 1t
would have no place to perform in
Washington.
Udall was welding a big stick
because his department Is the
landlord of the New Washington
stadium.
What with Udall and the TV
problem, Marshall was convert
ed" He was able to change his
ways in dramatic fashion because
as the worst team in the league,
his Skins had the right to take
their pick of the new college crop.
The prize a year ago was the
great Negro back at Syracuse,
Ernie Davis. Marshall arranged
deal by which Coach Paul Brown
of the Cleveland Browns was to
have Davis and Brown was to give
the Redskins Bobby Mitchell and
the right to draft Leroy Jackson,
a Negro player who had made
reputation at an Illinois college.
The trade went through, but
Davis, one Of the finest college
athletes in recent history, turned
up with a rare blood disease and
is at the Institutes of Health in
Bethesda. Editors Note: Davis
has since been released from the
hospital and Is currently working
out with the Browns.)
But Mitchell more than paid his
ways with the Skins.
He got credit for a 35-35 tie
with the Cowboys Of Dallas, and
for a breathtal1ing, cliff-hanging
miracle by which the Skins beat
the Cleveland Browns, 1915. Then
marking the first time the Red
skins appeared in their home field
without being hly-white, the fast
moving Mitchell grabbed two
touchdown passes against the st.
Louis Cardinals. Later he helped
set up another touchdown and a
field goal. Result: Redskins "a,
Cards, II. And for Mitchell, and
Redskins, and the fans, the season
is still young.

Before the Bear game he had man.
handled quarterbacks as his team
routed the Vikings, 34-7, and the
Cardinals, 40.
A warm, amiable man off the
field, Davis is ferocious in battle.
His pride and determination have
made him one Of the most feared
pass rushers in the National Foot
ball league.
While he may not have the over
towering size and strength of a
Gino Marchetti or a Doug Atkins,
Willie is probably the quickest and
most agile defensive end in the
league.
He strealts past offensive tackles
before they even know the ball
has been snapped.
If Wade never sees him again
it win be too soon. Davis gave
the gallant Bear quarterback quite
a going-over in an exhibition game
in Milwaukee, and two weeks age
he treated him just as violently.
The mild-mannered Wade Is moi
one to flare up at an opponent, but
on one occasion Bill took exception
to the Matchmaking. Said Willie
innoeently.
Wade felt I got a little toe
rough, but he's a hard guy to gel
hold Of. There was really nothing
to 1t. He's q nice guy"
So Is Willie Davis before and
after the game.

still able to talk after the game.
Davis is out to prove to all-pro
solicitors that they made a grave
mistake in not naming him all-pro
last year. He was one Of the few
Packers ignored in the various top
ratings across the country.
A major contributor to his
teams 1861 championship, Willie
believed he was sighted by the
solicitors. Such honors mean more
to pro athletes than many Of them
will admit.
BY the, time the Packers met
the New York Giants in the 1861
playoff, the an-pro teams had been
published. Davis was a terror on
defense as the Packers buried the
Giants, S7-0. In the dressing room
afterwards he revealed the driving
force behind his great perform
ance. He said:
II felt 1 deserved the recogni-
ton and I was out to prove 1t in
this game"
When the Packers routed the
Chicago Bears two weeks ago 400,
Willie spent most the afternoon in
the Bears baclCfIeld, making life
miserable for Bear quarterback
Bill Wade. The subject was
brought up again. The articulate
five-year veteran said:
II still feel the same way. I
want to be recognized as the best,
and that's always in my thinking"

Detroit (ANP) - Sad Sam

The release followed waivers by

For many years, while the team

On Sunday our Vikings took
their fourth straight loss, again
it was a case of errors, penalties,
costly fumbles and the inability to
move the ball inside the 20 yard
line. The defense was good and the
offense was able to move the ball
but could not score.
The Vikings are a good football
club in a mighty powerful foot
ball league. When they gain more
poise and confidence they will win
their share of games. Local fans
must be patient, it was only few
years back that the Green Bay
Packers settled on the bottom of
the heap. The ownership has found
sound intelligent leadership in the
front office, and the coaching staff
is very solid. If Coach Van Brock
lin, and the fans can bear with the
few lean years I am sure the Vik-
ings will bring championship pro-
fessional football to Minnesota in
the near future.
This weekend the Vikings will
have their hands full, the powerful
Green Bay Packers bring their
championship club to Metropolitan
Stadium, kick off time 1876.
