Twas the eve of election and
all through the state
Political hopefuls were dang
ling their bait;
The voters were listening and
reading with care
all the poop in the papers
and that on the air;
The people were thinking OF
matters at stake
of wild promises given, SO
easy to break;
Mississippians pondered
which ones are the best
to lead us and guide us Tor
the next four-year test?
Which hopeful for office, both
great ones and small, +,
will best carry out duties and
best stand up TALL?
They looked at the Cover
nor's race with great care,
For this one would lead them
through hope or despair.
They looked them ali over
and weighed what each SAID
and the voters all thought
with their hearts AND their
heads.
Would the one who was pro
missing peaceful tranquility
he able to give it? Did he
have the ability?
Gould the one who promised
us financial bliss
ever produce it? Couldn't ne
miss?
More rapid than eagles the
speeches they came,
One promised, one shouted
and made claim to fame;
"I've had experience" i've
stood the test"
"I am the best one, for | am
the BEST"
In newspapers, in circulars
and forever TV,
they blatted and hollered,
at has to be me-"
$50 we listened most carefully
as long as we could,
and we tried to decide how
each really stood
lon the problems today thai
are close to US all,
and we looked for a man we
believed could stand TALL
and face every issue the nut
ure might bring
with honor and courage; FOL
one without strings;
We do not care for politica
strings;
Breeders of graft and of
greed and of all ugly things
We lookel at one man nlS
head was thrown back,
the state was his oyster, the
country, in fact; =.
We looked at another MI
head was not high,

they are cute. They have lit

night we ate out and rode
the roller coaster and some

back to the cabin. We went
surf fishing the next day and
caught two bluefish.
We went deep sea fishing

ia. My cousin got a good bite
and he got right back to the

When we caught the blue

big crabs but we could not
get them on the bank because
they would let go right at the
drop-off.
We went to Fort Morgan
and had a good time. We
went through big tall things
and saw some alligator pits.
We went down steps and,
there were some rooms and
fox holes. We saw a big can
non. There were some things
that looked like icicles and
when you got them in your
hand they would smush. They
were white and we saw where
they had been dripping and
building up a place about a
foot high. AT Fort Morgan
looked through a big tele.
scope and | saw a lighthouse
and lots of big ships more
than a mile away. Then I quit
looking and went down the
ladder and saw where some
cannons had been.

Alabama, the state of Kentucky's
highest school has taken a giant
stride forward. The University of
Kentucky has agreed to open its
athletic program to persons of all
races in the future-thus becoming
the first school in the Southeastern

Kentuckys student body has been

but no known Negro has ever

Ringing The
BELL
By Jesse Bell

Many area sports fans were dis
mayed because, Bill McMoore was
not named South Highs head foot
ball coach and with good reason.
IF anyone was qualified for the
job it was Bill. He has had q
wealth of experience, all-city half
back on fine South High team,
some years back, a persistent
candidate on Bernie Bierman's
squads at the University Of Min
nesota, and assistant coach to
Dwight Reed at Lincoln University
in Missouri, a very valuable back
ground for anyone seeking a high
school coaching position.
This would have been an op-
perfume time for one of courage to
have broken the racial barrier and
chosen the man who surely quail
fled for the job.
Bill did not receive the oppor-
tunity that was due him but he
was given the consolation prize;
head coach of the "B" squad. Bill
has lived long enough and is big
enough to take the bitter with the
sweet. Knowing Mac" he will con-
tinue to teach youth to become
men in his genial and straight
forward way.

fools, continue to disrupt state

Like I say, You pays your
money and you takes your
chances!"
A sure shot for McKinnis paid
his loot but he didn't take any
chances in our annual club champ
ionship at Keller Golf course Sun
day.
His booming tee shots and crisp
irons kept him on the stick for a
sizzling rs strokes to wrap up the
event with his nearest competi-
ton about five strokes behind.
Little Colonel Bert Donaldson
and 1.-Two Wood" Texas Turner
came up with very creditable SOs
and believe you me, these are fab
ulous scores on a course that
played very hard - tall grass,
millions of golf ball looking dande-
lions and greens that were as bar
rem as table tops.
The TCGA club championships
and inter club matches came off
without a hitch. We had beautiful
weather and every man was pres
ent. The photographer made quite
few shots (many times later I
was wishing that I had had a cam
era in my hand instead of a golf
club).

champions there - Hezzie Allen,

N.AI.A. Basketball Hall Of Fame
The Pittsburgh Steelers Of the
National Football league have
signed fullback Bob Ferguson to
a 1868 contract. Bob was the
SteeIers' number one draft choice
in 1862 after a very sensational
career at Ohio State.
He proved to be a big disap-
pointment to the Pittsburgh fans
in 1862. The doctors have given
him a clean bill of health and big
things are expected Of him in
1858.

game.
Currently the leader in hitting
on the Twins team, Zoilo gave the
fans something to think about dur
ing the weekend games with De-
troit with his fine fielding and
hitting.
Versailles made some very fine
stops deep in the hole and getting
his man on first base-showing
his wide fielding range.
But you have to also give some
of the credit for making this Twins
infield look so good to the first
baseman of first basemen - Vic
Power He may not be hitting that
old hide off the ball, but he owns"
that first sack and anything close
to it.
Our congrats to Twins hurler
Jim Roland for a fine bit of pitch
ing in his do or die" win over the
Tigers last Saturday. The only
time Roland looked "shook" was
at bat when he lined out to Jake
Wood for an apparent easy out
and Wood bobbled the ball. Roland
had perceptibly slowed down on
the base path and apparently was
pretty disgusted with himself for
slowing up-he would have beaten
the throw If he hadn't hesitated.

New Rifle Club
Organizing Soon

Rufus Camilla, BylaS police
man, is planning to organize
rifle club at BylaS. The club
will be for both adults and
children and will be a National
Rifle Association course. Off
reservation people with whom
Rufus Camilla has talked are
enthusiastic about the idea. The
Tribal Council gave its per-
mission for the club to be
organized at the regular Coun-
Gil meeting July 9.
Mr.. Camilla is planning to
hold a meeting soon of all
those people who are interested
in joining the club. They
should find name for the club
and should raise funds for it,
perhaps with a turkey shoot.
The hope is that they will be
able to build up a rifle range,
the present Bylas range being
only a pistol range.

we come to it." said Halas, who
has been associated with the
Bears for A seasons.
Some fans have bemoaned
the Bears close-to-vest type of
ball-control play. Halas has a
simple explanation:
I'VE met Green Bay In our
first game September IS. We
knew that, in view of Green
Bays type of defense, we had
to concentrate on the short
gamers to keep the ball away
from them.
ut worked for q 1913 victory,
which was called an upset. But
we had the personnel to con-
tinue with that type Of play.
We beat Green Bay again (26-

a more than adequate replace
ment for Eastern High Schools

williams led the way with 10
points, as the Ramblers opened

Good Counsel.
The speedy 5-foot-9 senior
who played the backcourt last
season with the since grad
uated Greene, has taken over
as director of the Eastern at
tack. Although not the great
driver that Greene was, he is
about as good a pasSer, and a
better jump shooter from long
distances.
Yesterday Williams, making
seven Of 10 field goal attempts,
sank four shots from at least
25 feet out. Biggie Cunning

years unbeaten team, grabbed
IL rebounds and added Is
points for the Ramblers.
With Cunningham, Robert

the Ramblers sped to a lat
lead after one quarter and
stretched it to Is points at
half. Neither team could do
much in the last half.
