'The Foundation will con

ment of Colored People is said
to have praised the Ole Miss
Student Judiciary Council
which recommended McDow-
ellis expulsion. Mr.. Evers ap-
peared at the hearing with
Atty. Young and Mcdowell.
"If every Negro was given as
equal a chance as Cleve was
given, then they would not be
afraid to 60 to court in Mis-
sissippi," said Evers :. "Cleve
was not expelled because he
is a Negro. He was expelled
because he broke the law"
After Mcdowell left the
campus, Mississippi became
the only state with total
school segregation.
The charge against McDow-
ell of carrying a concealed
deadly weapon carries a maxi
mum penalty of a $100 fine
and three months in Jail.

Powerful Grombline
College Tigers
Defeat AIcorn
A. & IA. College
Braves 40-23

LORMAN, Miss, Sept. 21.
(SpeciaD = A powerful Gram
bling team spanked by the
spectacular running of full
back Nemiah Wilson romped a
1923 victory over Alcorn in an
exciting Southwestern Confer
ence contest.
After apparently shaking off
opening night jitters early in
the first period, the Tigers
went on a scoring rampage.
Ron Pennington tossed for an
IL yard I'd. Anderson Cheffin
raced 40 yards for the second
tally. Lawrence Hunter hit
Giffin with an IL yard pass
for touch down and fullback
Henry Dyer raced rs yards for
a score and at half time the
Tigers led the Braves 26-3.
The Alcorn Braves storrned
back in the fourth quarter,
playing inspired ball and
chalked up 20 points. The
sensational passing of senior
quarterback Fred Davis was a
great factor in the fourth
quarter Brave threat. He hit
Joe Robinson with touch down
passes of 20 and SO yards and
a 33 yard pass to Smith Reed
was good for Brave marker.
Nemiah Wilson thrilled the
spectators late in the fourth
period by racing 100 yards up
the left side line on beautiful
kickoff return.
While the Braves lost to a
strong Grambling team by a
score of 40-23 it was apparent
that Alcorn College will be a
team to reckon with in the
weeks ahead.
