Cookie GiIchriSf
Crashes AFL
RuShinq Record

New York (ANP) - Cookie
Gilchrist, 234-pound fullback and
ia veteran of Canadian pro football,
was voted the Player of the Year
in the American Football League
after he set a new league record
by becoming the first man in the
two-year loop to amass over 1000
yards rushing.
In breaking the AFL rushing
record, Gilchrist, a brlising runner
who has been nkened to the Cleve-
land Browns Jim Brown, chalked
up 1,o96 yards on PA carries to
nose out Dallas Abner Haynes,
and Houston's Charley Tolar.
In the balloting for Player Of
the Year by a committee Of writ
ers Of the Associated Press, Gil
christ, 27, garnered 13 Of "a votes
cast. Len Dawson, Dallas quarter
back, was second with eight votes.
Explaining his struggle to gain
stardom, Gilchrist, elated over the
Player of the Year honor, said:
II have no college education so
it's been a question Of money with
! me all along. I had to battle all
the time for the kind Of pay I felt
rated"
The Bills picked up Gilchrist
last August after he was waived
out Of the Canadian League for a
reported $4,000, salary. He has
repaid the club three times that
amount by his outstanding play
during the 1862 season.
He came to the Bills with the
reputation Of being hard to handle
(which was probably the reason he
was waived out Of the Canadian
League. He had gone to the Can
adian League fresh out Of high
school. He said he had approached
the Browns for a job and was told
to go to Canada for seasoning.

Ernie BdnkS To
Run For Chicago
CifY Council

sluggtng Chicago Cubs first base.
man, soon may be slugging 1t out
in the political arena, If current
plans materialize to have the pop.
ular baseball star run for q seat
on the City Council.
It was disclosed recently that
Ernie had been approached and
has agreed to run for the alder
manic post against white Demo-
cratic incumbent James Condor
In the Feb. 26 primary elections.
Contacted in Los Angeles, Ernie
admitted that he had been ap-
preached by a prominent Republi-
can leader and asked to run. He
said he agreed to accept the offer
after consulting with P. X. Wrig-
ley, ,Jr., president and owner Of the
Cubs and with his wife, Eloyce.
He wanted to make sure, he
said that entering politics would
not interfere with his baseball
playing. Ernie said Wrigley not
only approved the suggestion but
thought it was a wonderful op-
portunity for him.
If he does become an aldermanic
candidate Banks, 81, would be re-
lying chiefly on his immense pop
ularity as a sports hero. He is ex-
tremely popular with the city's
youngsters, who may be able to
persuade their parents to support
him. Ernie also has a tremendous
adult fan following.
One thing would weigh heavily
in Ernie's favor. His popularity
cuts deeply across color lines,
making him the favorite of Ne
groes and whites alike. This would
be particularly advantageous In
the 9Th Ward race. There are 90
precincts in the ward, Al of which
are predominantly Negro. He
could win handily by carrying the
Negro precincts and a few Of the
white ones.
Ernie still has a major hurdle
to cross, however. He has not yet
received the important endorse
ment of the wards committeeman,
Michael J. Connolly. Connolly has
said that he will not endorse any
candidate until after the Feb. 26
primary. His endorsement then
could hardly help Banks.
Aldermanic candidates run on a
non-partisan ballot and If a can
didate polls a majority Of all votes
cast in February, he is automati-
cally elected. Otherwise, the top
two candidates stage a runoff In
connection with the April 2 mayor
al election.
Ernie would be the last to say
that he Is a politician. However
with his popularity he may moi
have to be to win. The best thing
that could happen for him at the
polls would be for voting fans tc
remember his heroics in WrigleS
Field.
Meanwhile, 1t appeared verJ
likely that he would toss his base
ball cap in the political ring.
II he does and Ia elected, h
would be the Councils second
sports hero. Now serving as alder
man Of the 3rd Ward is Ralph
Metcalfe, former olympic champ
ion runner.
Since joining the Cubs straight
from the Kansas City MonarchS
team Of the Negro American
League In 1858, Ernie has set al
sorts Of Cubs and league records
He won the National Leagues
most valuable player award IL
1858 and 1859, led the league ir
home runs with At in 1858 and Al
In 1860 and led in runs-batted-ir
with 129 in 1858 and 143 in 1859
Last year he clouted 81 homer'
and drove in 104 runs.
He was the first Major Leagues
shortstop to hit more than 40 homt
runs, accomplishing the feat
twice. He has also hit more hom'
runs (335) than any player IL
Cub history.

think TV has done an excellent
job of news coverage, perhaps
better than any other media, be-
cause television is able to tell
the racial story more dramatic
ally than any newspaper or mag
azine pictures or any word de-
scription," says Schuffman.
"But we have still failed to tell
the dramatic story in terms OF
everyday people, in eloquent
terms that every viewer can
identify with - in short to
speak in the language that
should be common to both races,
human emotions"
Seeking to find an effective
method to bridge "the language
barrier" between races, Schultz
man felt that conventional doc
umentaries or dramatic shows
lacked the necessary impact to
translate" the race problem
into terms of ordinary people in
the privacy of their homes.

clares: "Until we can relate the

we haven't penetrated the lang

ing from techniques for getting
to use toilets in Southern gas
stations to relating what the
Negro wants when he moves
North.
Our production faced the ba
sic question of how we could
tell the Negroes story so that
the placid, Indifferent and un-
knowing white viewer could per
haps find some identity with one
particular humans problem and
so know him better and thereby
understand what makes him
tick" says Schuffman.
"Of course, we do not pre-
tend that this one show - or
any series of shows - can pos
sibly rip down racial walls. But
we hope that it is a beginning,
that it forecasts a trend, that
it simply is a fair statement of
the Negroes aspirations not in
soapbox terms, but rather thru
a sensitive portrait of one par
ticular individual whose person

commonplace enough to estab-
lish a common ground with all
viewers"

stage anything, but rather a
selective editing of the filmed
Jackson advocate., 1963-09-21

How to tell the Negro story
in elemental human feelings -
his fears, his hopes, what he
wants in America - became the
first phase of a unique new
project at the Chicago ABC-
TV station, which for want of a
better description, Schuffman
calls "TV essays or non-fiction
theater." He turned team of
his TV men loose without re-
strictions to cover the Negro
much in the same way as mag
azine or newspaper would. The
team had complete freedom in
its creative approach to choose
the best, most dramatic means
to present the subject - but
with one proviso - "the show
must be good entertainment as
we'll as transmit the basic idea"
as Schuffman puts it.
What the team produced rep
resents an unorthodox recital of
the migration of a Louisiana
Negro family to Chicago, but

the migrant, a teacher named
Sylvester Colbert, who himself
