Oklahoma, By At Monroe A bit of commercialized newspaper ethics have caused colored newspapers throughout the country to become re luctant to the deserving but much omitted praise that our star athletes now playing professional toot ball arc entitled to. Some papers offer well sustained arguments that it is not altogether the proper thing to do, to boost profes sionalism, perhaps not, perhaps so. Cut when you step to think that the only possible way for a negro athlete to get consideration among the pro fessional football leagues is to first establish a reputation in college, which requires a certain scholastic standing, we observe facts of a different hue. Remember the greatest weakness of the present negroes lie in the tardiness toward \vh h they regard the value of the path leading to the school room. Professional foot ball looks like an in ducement.

CHAMPS TO POST BILLIARDSAT DREAMLAND < hicago is indeed becoming a great billiard ranter. Last year there was held downtown in the loop, perhaps one of the greatest billiard tourna ments the pub lie ha> ever witnessed. This year the interest is centered on two of the world’s greatest colored players, Mr. J. W. (Bam) Sims of! Chicago. Ill . and Mr Minor Haney j of New York City and Buenos Ayres. ; South Vm . i i. Mr. Haney has played | all thru Kurope and South America I and has defeated every rolored player that lie has met expect Mr. Sims. They will play 1,000 points of 18-inch balk lines (2 shots in ). At this re spective game Mr. Sims has success fully defended his title since 1917, has never been defeated in the champion- 1 >hip game. Most all of his Chicago friends believe that he is unbeatable. This game will be staged at the beautiful Dreamland, 3520 South State Street. Tuesday and Wednesday after noon and evening, November 28 and 29, game called promptly at 2:30 in the afternoon and 8:30 in the evening. They will play in blocks of 250 points at each perform: nee. ♦ You will also be entertained by the regular entertainments after the match. Admission, fifty cents. From tiie Eighth Regiment we gather inf.:-;., non that one of the f congest teams ever as milled at the soldier caging place is being whipped into line. The regiment has always had a strong team, although one of the lightest in local circles is always n tough hunch to beat. This year they have added weight, and if their early j practice form stands for anything art likely to sweep Chicago and the in vading teams into at leas, a bit ot surprise. Some Old Army Men to Play We understand that three star play ers who formerly played with the 25th recently released will be in the lineup of the Illinois soldier hoys, the name and records of whom will be an nounced in next week’s issue, | RATTLING TOWNSEND COMING “CHAMP” Arkansas Baptist College defeated Shorter College of North Little Rock 31 to 0 last Thursday. The two teams are old rivals and the students were out en masse only to see A. B. C. triumph piling up 25 points the first half not allowing Shorter a first flown. The Short- rites braced in the last half and held their opponents to one touch down. This is the A. R. C.’s third victory of the intercollegiafb association of Arkansas, having defeated Branch Normal College \') to 0 and P. S. C. 20 to 0. Neither team was able to get '•st the 30-yard line, therefore A. B. C. goal has not been threatened. Light varsity men were lost hv the graduation route but Coach Oliver has built around the old men a machine that works with clock Jikmovements. The team no doubt has the lightest man in the college football playing a quarter, his name is Hibbler, 15 years old, weighing 110 pounds, but runs his team like a veteran. The other hack field member- are Hooker, full hack; Williams and Rollins, half hacks, 'flic latter adept at broken field running, and is a consistent ground gainer. Men on the line who deserve special mention arc Stanmore. right tackle; Captains Jackson and Barker all state ends. They are all dangerous men on the offensive and defensive. Barker does the kicking and most of the pass ing for his team. His right arm spells defeat to all comers. His running mate. Jackson, i< generally on the re ceiving end. His longest pass of the season being 56 yards. THE WHIP IN THE LOOP ALL THE LEADING NEWS STANDS IN THE LOOP — CHICAGO’S THROUGH FARE NOW CARRY THE WHEEP Ask For I (--Help Put It Over ... Read il on Your Way From Work ... CHICAGO’S Fighting Paper MOREHOUSE i || CANCELLED One of the greatest disappointments | of years came to the people of Atlanta last Saturday, when the annual foot ball game between Atlanta University and Morehouse College was not j played. These institutions have been J football rivals for more than twenty , years and their game, from a local point of view is the outstanding foot ball feature in Atlanta. This year the game was scheduled for Atlanta Uni versity campus and that team was to supply officials. Four days before the j game Atlanta University informed I Morehouse who the three officials ' would be. Morehouse accepted one and rejected two, stating in writing definitely what the objections were and I asking Atlanta University to name other officials. Atlanta University re plied that the objections of Morehouse \ were not reasonable and insisted that the game be played with officials al ready named. it may be informing to state what were the objections. One of the of ficials is a gentleman who had offi- , ciated in several games in Atlanta this year. His work has been very faulty | and for this reason Morehouse ob jected, giving specific instances of his \11istakes. The other official is a gen tleman who is not known to More house at all, yet during the entire in terchange of correspondence Atlanta University marie no effort whatever to enlighten Morehouse as to this gentle mans’ record and standing as an offi cial, hut insisted that he lie accepted. Morehouse contiifued to refuse these two men, but also continued to ask that other names be submitted. The final reply to this request was a letter from Atlanta University to Morehouse, stating that the game was canceled because Morehouse refused the first official offered. As it is well known how much the success and friendly spirit of the game depends upon the officials’ acceptability to both teams Morehouse felt that it was nothing more than good sportsmanship that her objections he regarded; and re igrettetl mat Atlanta University can celed the game instead of acceding to | the requests of Morehouse that other : names he submitted as officials.

Saturday.—The Echo de Sports today publishes a detailed ac count of the meeting of the French Boxing Federation at which the Sene galese Battling Siki was disqualified for nine months for his attack on M. Cuny, manager of the Boxer Prunier. Cuny joined Descamps, manager of Georges Carpenticr, in entreating for an acquittal, saying: “Of course, it is deplorable, but is he entirely respons ible? lie holds a title too heavy for him? Me is a child who has been al lowed to play with a gun.” Descamps recalled that his protege, Carpenticr. always had upheld the dignity of boxing—in fact, that lie had been christened "the Ambassador of Muscle.” "Don't rub him of the chance of re covering from Siki that which lie has lost,” he pleaded. Various proposals for the length of disqualification were put forward, ranging from two months to two i years, and the nine i onths* sentence was finally accepted as a compromise. The writer declares the color ques tion was in no way involved and that it was not even con ide; He pro poses that, as Siki volunteered for mili tary service in 1914, he might be given "amnesty” in celebration of Armistice Day. The culprit himself aroused certain sympathy before judgment was an nounced. declaring: ‘‘When I was plain Siki no attention was paid to my (ricks: they were only laughed at. But since I became champion people get angry. Mis manager, Hellers, accepted the situation philosophically, saying that "it was bound to come sooner or later.” "Siki has a heart of gold,' be added, "but nerves that he cannot master. 11c thought that his action would prove him a true sportsman in the eyes of the spectators. "He never wished to go to America, among the people who, he said, ‘de spised Negroes/ and I had the utmost difficulty to get him to promise tc cross the channel to light in London. "He has often declared that if no longer able to box be would sell shoe blacking and be quite as rich, and in sisted he would prefer to abandon hi pugilistic titles if not allowed to live as he liked.” — '» T—1 M ■■irwrWMwn^w.''—■». luipa j Name and Address—Eatra lines 15c ea.

The fight will he to a decision and a twelve-round affair. The light should be interesting, as Jackson and Tate boast a record among the la st battlers that are about equal. Both having lost to Wills and then to complicate matters somewhat we arc reminded of the fact that Sain Langford holds a decision over Tate while Jackson mauled Mister Lang ford rather ruthlessly in their recent fight at Toledo, Ohio. Tate Should Win Although Tate lost to Langford and Jackson won over the aged “Tham’* we are of the opinion that Sir William will prove the master of the overrated "Tutter.'* Jackson is a fair fighter or we might * veil go os far as to say a j great battler, but he is certainly not of sufficient poundage to meet such men •is Wills and Tate, anyway it will he ; .in intere* ti t in view of the fact !

As for Mr Jackson, we cannot peak so favorably Tut was supposed to have been a tough battler in all his fights prior to the one with Wills, but was. most certainly a disappointment when he faced Dempsey’s challenger, however, confidence is a great thing land with the confidence that was miss ing when Tut met Harry flying around | in abundance Mr. Tate may meet a lighter altogether different than the one who took the count from Ilarry Wills.
