WORLD ofSPORTS

(By F. M. DAVIS fSr A. N. P.)

0> HIE GRIB HORIZONChicago—This looms as another

ereat year for the sepia footballersattending ‘ mixed" colleges and

universities. They’re bobbing up Inleading institutions from coast to

roast, und while there is apparent-ly n» Simmons in sight, there

are plenty left to do their dirt.Here in m ynelghborbood of the

Bi K 10 conference, anxious eyes

arc focused on Capt. Homer Harris0f lowa and Bernard Jeffefcson ofNorthwestern. Harris, first coloredlad to captain a Big 10 grid .team,

Is singing his swan song under a

new coaching regime while Jeffer-son will be depended on far mostof the passing, kicking and a goodbit of the hall lugging at bis school.

Harris plays end and last yearwas picked as lowa's most valuableplayer. He is a senior, 21 years old,stands 6 feet 2 and weighs 188.Previously be was recognlssd asone of the nation’s outstandingflankmen while playing on amediocre team. Judging from tbeHawkeye stand at Washington,Coach Irl Tubbs bas an aggrega-tion calculated to give everybody

trouble. For that reason, don't besurprised If Harris gets all-con-ference or all-American considera-tion in this, his final year.

Jefferson is first choice for lefthalf and last year as a sophomorewas outstanding on the only teamgood enough to whip Minnesota inseveral seasons. In spring practicehe was considered “the most im-proved player on the squad"—which means he is expected to bea wild man of the grid iron thisfall. So keep your eyes peeled fornews of Bernard, a Junior, who is5 feet 11 Inches tall, weighs 185pounds, and is the only genuinetriple-threat back on the North-western squad.

Os course, that’s not tbe wholelist of Big 10 stars. There are twomore seniors to be seen in action.Mighty Minnesota has DwightReed, regular left end, who lacksthe publicity given Harris. But thefact that he has first call on thepowerful Gopher eleven flank Isenough. It seems fairly certain thateither Reed or Harris will makeall-conference.

Olarence Hinton is another in hisfinal year. He Is chief replacementfor Jefferson at Northwestern,stands 5 feet 8 and weighs 155pounds. Although the fastest manon the squad and one of the llght-e»t, ho |g ÜB ed |n a blocking back

position. Some critics think he hasnever been given an opportunity toBhow what he can do as a ball car-rier.

Among other stars is Horace Bellof Minnesota, junior, regular guardat Minnesota. He is considered bysome as the best kick-off man inthe nation and is deadly on fieldgoals and points after touchdown.Besides that, he Is good defensive-ly and Is one of the best in theMidwest at pulling out of the linelo run interference.

Also there is Doc Walker, play-ing his final year at end for Wes-tern Reserve in Cleveland. Doc is6 feet 2, weighs 190, and Is fastenough to run the 100 yard dash In10 seconds... .At lowa is Fred-erick Smith, sophomore end, whoweighs 192 and is 6 feet 1. He needsexperience but can also play attackle, therefore may see consid-erable action.

Out East, you know of Ed Wil-liams, junior fullback at New Yorkuniversity, and the amazing Jero-me ’’Brud" Holland, junior end atCornell ...University of Californiaat Los Angeles is depending main-ly on Kenny Washington, halfbackand Woodrow Wilson Strode leftend for Its offense.... Both aresophomores... .California has aright guard named Bobby Lee....University of Cincinnati has afreshman candidate but no varsityplayer to make fans forget Lon-don Gantt... .Northwestern has atotal of three dusky freshmengrid aspirants.

De Kalb State Teachers college,>ln Illinois, has a sepia quarter-' back named Chester Davis who| work in the summer at an Aurora

111., mortuary... .Ohio State hasone aspirant, a lad named Parks,who Is a candidate for end. He Is6 feet and weighs 180....N0rthDakota university Is playing FritsJr. at quarterback this season.Pollard, Incidently. bruised bisshoulder early in the opening gamewith St. Thomas but has recover-ed.... Next year you should expertto hear a lot from Lou Montgomeryat Boston college. Montgomery,recognized as one of the greatestprep back field stars ever turnedout In the East, is a freshman atBoston.

BPOTTIN* A SPOTSubdued lights, umbrella’ed by

round, colorful, Jack-o-lanternjackets, cast a moony glow all overthe place. In this aurora, at thesquatty little tables sprinkledabout, sat smartly-dressed womenand nattily-groomed men, smokingand drinking and laughing. Araoany melody flowed out to themfrom a cove-like ork pit. and everso often, some romantic soul, Inwhom this melodious music stirredmemories would yell out over thebabble of voices, ‘‘Lawd to’day!Ah wondah will a match box hoi’mar clo’s."

Right now, this alley believesthe entertainment is up to snuffwith some of the best In town.There’s a show In port from St.Louta-a show with as clever a litterof russett-colored girls as thisorb has ever chalked.

These melodears are Mceed byBillie Carter, this town’s besthl-de-ho'er, and a ghee with quitea chunk of personality.

THE DETUOi'I IKIBUNE SATURDAY. OCTOBER 9, 1937

Well,BlowMeDown!Said the Kibitzers

It wuh an interesting eveningfor the memberH of the CheckerClub of St. Antoine Y last Thurs-Uay evening, especially for thoseold und young kibitzers who havehrißtled their feathers and crow-ed to the world about their abil-ity to smash a line of defense.

You see, a chap with an in-genuity to discern movementsmore than a mile down the roadon the checker board, was play-ing at one of the tables, and Itwas around this table that thekibitzers gathered to watch withIntense interest and come up withsome semi-suppressed "I knewthat" when the chap rode throughrough shod over his adversary byskillful manipulations of thecheckers.

The young chap, when askedhis name, said "Oh, Just call me‘The Florida Kid’.” However, a

He’s up at five. There’s no-thing warm in the house to eator drink so he wiggles hurriedlyinto his clothes and tips out.Couldn’t disturb the kid, nor her.

Outside, day had broken with asong . He thanked God for thistime of the year as he steppedlout onto the street. It was stillhopeful.

On he trudged, from factory tofactory, from one place to an-other, asking and receiving thesame answer. "Hiring today.Sir?” ‘‘Naw. Just taking backour old men.” Undaunted, hereels on. His stomach growls.But the urge to live, the desire toget going before winter, out gnawthe hunger inside.

Lunch hour passes and he Istwenty miles out with no carfare.A big-faced clock says, "It’s toolate now. Too late." He sighs,shudders, turns home, tired, hun-gry and crestfallen. He’ll con-tinue this day after day, despiteall. He’ll do so because he hasthe urge to live, the desire to seethat happy gleam back in the eyesof his loved ones.

We see them every day, stum-bling in from factory districts,with faces that mirror the un-speakable despair seething in

t their minds and hearts. They areour unemployed. Uh huh. Welook at them. We see them. Weunderstand what is going on with-in their chests.

The Detroit Catholic Youth or-ganisation’s ring warriors willmake their first bid to nationalfistic prominence when theyswap punches wlt& the ChicagoCYO’s boxing team in a 16-boutcard at the Navy Armory here onWednesday evening, October 20.

Asa result of their decisivetriumph over the South Americanchampions at Soldier's Field inAugust, the Chicago battlers ranktoday as the country’s finest ag-gregation of amateur boxers. Inthe past five years the ChicagoCYO’s leather stingers have en-gaged in 18 inter-city matches,winning 15 and tying three.

Detroit boys, who are now intraining, will be held Tuesday,October 12.

Don't miss a single Issue of theDetroit Tribune, the leading Negreweekly.

“Roy Sprigle” launched an inves-tigation and came up ft. ith theinformation that “The FloridaKid” was none other than Wal-ter Senior.

But this did not remove thebaffled expression from the facesof, Percy Jacks (We heard at onetime that he was chump), F. Da-vis, F. Neal, G. Montgomery, J. A.Carr, F. Waller, C. L. Stewart, J.Oatis, C. H. Oooper, J. Greenlee,W. C. Woodshn, C. S. Davis, W.B. Fields und L. E. Williams.

While we have not been ableto ascertain the cause thero areseveral who claim that the YChecker Club changed the datefor the regular meetings fromTuesday to Friday in order thatthey might avoid meeting Mr.Senior in open competition. Wedon’t know. We were only told,
