They’re bobbing up In leading institutions from coast to roast, und while there is apparent- ly 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 Harris 0 f lowa and Bernard Jeffefcson of Northwestern. Harris, first colored lad 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 most of the passing, kicking and a good bit of the hall lugging at bis school. Harris plays end and last year was picked as lowa's most valuable player. He is a senior, 21 years old, stands 6 feet 2 and weighs 188. Previously be was recognlssd as one of the nation’s outstanding flankmen while playing on a mediocre team. Judging from tbe Hawkeye stand at Washington, Coach Irl Tubbs bas an aggrega- tion calculated to give everybody trouble. For that reason, don't be surprised If Harris gets all-con- ference or all-American considera- tion in this, his final year. Jefferson is first choice for left half and last year as a sophomore was outstanding on the only team good enough to whip Minnesota in several seasons. In spring practice he was considered “the most im- proved player on the squad"— which means he is expected to be a wild man of the grid iron this fall. So keep your eyes peeled for news of Bernard, a Junior, who is 5 feet 11 Inches tall, weighs 185 pounds, and is the only genuine triple-threat back on the North- western squad. Os course, that’s not tbe whole list of Big 10 stars. There are two more seniors to be seen in action. Mighty Minnesota has Dwight Reed, regular left end, who lacks the publicity given Harris. But the fact that he has first call on the powerful Gopher eleven flank Is enough. It seems fairly certain that either Reed or Harris will make all-conference. Olarence Hinton is another in his final year. He Is chief replacement f or Jefferson at Northwestern, stands 5 feet 8 and weighs 155 pounds. Although the fastest man on the squad and one of the llght- e»t, ho |g ÜB ed | n a blocking back position. Some critics think he has never been given an opportunity to Bhow what he can do as a ball car- rier. Among other stars is Horace Bell of Minnesota, junior, regular guard at Minnesota. He is considered by some as the best kick-off man in the nation and is deadly on field goals and points after touchdown. Besides that, he Is good defensive- ly and Is one of the best in the Midwest at pulling out of the line lo run interference.

A raoany melody flowed out to them from a cove-like ork pit. and ever so often, some romantic soul, In whom this melodious music stirred memories would yell out over the babble of voices, ‘‘Lawd to’day!

Said the Kibitzers It wuh an interesting evening for the memberH of the Checker Club of St. Antoine Y last Thurs- Uay evening, especially for those old und young kibitzers who have hrißtled 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 movements more than a mile down the road on the checker board, was play- ing at one of the tables, and It was around this table that the kibitzers gathered to watch with Intense interest and come up with some semi-suppressed "I knew that" when the chap rode through rough shod over his adversary by skillful manipulations of the checkers. The young chap, when asked his name, said "Oh, Just call me ‘The Florida Kid’.” However, a . . still wearing that mlllion- dollar smile .... despite his re- cent encounter with a blade In the band of a wag tagged "Roo- fus" . . Out on Rlopelle . near Davison . . . one night last week ... at a block dance given bjr our mayor, Dick Reading. Bight acres of colored folks yeah . young and old . dancing . . taking up a ful block. LIFE IN TRE RAW He’s up at five. There’s no- thing warm in the house to eat or drink so he wiggles hurriedly into his clothes and tips out. Couldn’t disturb the kid, nor her. Outside, day had broken with a song . He thanked God for this time of the year as he stepped lout onto the street. It was still hopeful. On he trudged, from factory to factory, from one place to an- other, asking and receiving the same answer. "Hiring today. Sir?” ‘‘Naw. Just taking back our old men.” Undaunted, he reels on. His stomach growls. But the urge to live, the desire to get going before winter, out gnaw the hunger inside. Lunch hour passes and he Is twenty miles out with no carfare. A big-faced clock says, "It’s too late now. Too late." He sighs, shudders, turns home, tired, hun- gry and crestfallen. He’ll con- tinue this day after day, despite all. He’ll do so because he has the urge to live, the desire to see that happy gleam back in the eyes of 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 are our unemployed. Uh huh. We look at them. We see them. We understand what is going on with- in their chests. 'CHICAGO :yo BOXING TEAM BATTLES HERE The Detroit Catholic Youth or- ganisation’s ring warriors will make their first bid to national fistic prominence when they swap punches wlt& the Chicago CYO’s boxing team in a 16-bout card at the Navy Armory here on Wednesday evening, October 20. Asa result of their decisive triumph over the South American champions at Soldier's Field in August, the Chicago battlers rank today as the country’s finest ag- gregation of amateur boxers. In the past five years the Chicago CYO’s leather stingers have en- gaged in 18 inter-city matches, winning 15 and tying three. They have whipped teams from Cin- cinnati, Sioux City, la., Kansas City, Mo., Los Angeles, San Fran- cisco, Springfield 111., Honolulu and the United States Navy team from the Panama Canal Zone. They were tied once by a com- bined team from Los Angeles and San Francisco and twice by I teams from Omaha, Neb. Bxhibltlon-bout tryouts for the Detroit boys, who are now in training, will be held Tuesday, October 12. Don't miss a single Issue of the Detroit Tribune, the leading Negre weekly. “Roy Sprigle” launched an inves- tigation and came up ft. ith the information that “The Florida Kid” was none other than Wal- ter Senior.

Oatis, C. H. Oooper, J. Greenlee, W. C. Woodshn, C. S. Davis, W. B. Fields und L. E. Williams. While we have not been able to ascertain the cause thero are several who claim that the Y Checker Club changed the date for the regular meetings from Tuesday to Friday in order that they might avoid meeting Mr. Senior in open competition. We don’t know. We were only told, 1 so don't talk us to death. Death Claims 3 Stage Stars In One Week NEW YORK (C) Harlem theatrical clrcules mourn three deaths in its ranks all in one week.

In order that you and youmight get booted to their handles,we’ll say, like the Amos *n' Andyannouncer, ‘here they are:’ Clau-dia Oliver, Vivian Me.CuUen, Lil-lian Watson, Nellie Harold LenaKilgore and Billie Perkins.

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

With principals who sing anddance like Louise Walker, Jose-phine Beck and Snookie Howells,we still say this show is a natur-al for anybody’s smacks. See It.Then see us. Yeah..SEEN IN THE SWIM OP THINGS

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.

“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.
