SPORTS REVIEW
By Johnnie Stewart
GEORGE DUNN DEFEATS
FREDDIE RX7SS0
Tuesday night at the Hart-
.fighting the most experienced
opponent of his career met and
decisively defeated the highly
touted Freddie Russo of Rail
way, New Jersey.
Russo came here with a re
cord of having lost only three
fights in seventy engagements
and those to top ranking fight
ers Sal Bartolo, Phil Terranova,
and Willie Beltram. Dunn's
victory is proof that he is ready,
for the best in his division. In
defeating Russo, he conquered a
fighter who holds victories ov
er Harry Jeffra .Jackie Wilson,
Mike Belloise, Petey Virgin and
Frankie Carto.
Matchmaker Gus Brown's
prediction that this bout would
be a natural comparable to the
State-Brady duel two years
ago, proved to be true as evi
denced by the fact that the bout
was interesting from start to
finish.
Billy Taylor, the state's best
referee, handled the bout to
the satisf actino of the 2500 fans.
With the exception of a "stink
eroo" put on by "face mak-

reputed to be one of Ray Rob

card was exceptionally good.
Two youngsters to watch in
coming state basketball tour
nament are Saulsbury of Hill
house High, (New Haven), and
Vincent Drake of Ansonia,, high
scoring ace of the Naugatuek
Valley League.
Local basketball teams are in
dire need ofa gym to play on,
where they can charge admis
sion, all efforts to use the one
school suitable have been in
vain.
For some unknown reason,
the Northeast Gym cannot be
obtained. It is not the inten
tion of these kids to make any
money from the games played,
but rather to meet the expense
of bringing in out of town
teams and paying for music and
police protection.
Ray Brown, ex-Homestead
Grays pitcher and son-in-law of
the late Cum Posey, the former
owner of the Grays, humbled
the mighty Yankees a few days
ago while pitching for the Puer

Tis is additional proof that
our boys belong up there in the
"big show' if for nothing else
than to prove that all races must
pull together to make a winning
team.
BUDDY YOUNG
BALLED-UP
Chicago No one nationally
known college athlete has
evinced more uncertainty and
confusion about what they want
to do in a long time, than Bud
dy Young,late of the Univer
sity of Illinois. All of which
has eventually projected him
into a years suspension from
amateur competition by the
AAU.
After the Rose Bowl game in
California, Young came back
home with the victorious Illi
nois team, but he stopped at
Chicago and has not been back
to the Illinois campus since.
Which means that he failed to
take his mid-year examinations.
Then there was the rumor
that Young felt a keen sense
of responsibility to his wife
and family and felt as though
he should levae college and
support them.
Right on the heels of this
came the report that he was
dickering with the New York
Yankees for a contract with
their football team for next
Fall. This seemed to indicate
that he was through with col
lege competition and amateur
status.
But. nothing definite seemed
to be forthcoming about this
whole matter until Buddy be
gan talking about competing in
track this season. Then the
AAU reared its official head
and seemed to indicate that
Buddy had gone a long ways
with his professional aspira
tions, or at least far enough to
bring him a suspension
NAACP YOUTH COMM.
MEETS IN NEW YORK
New York, N. Y. The Na
tional Planning and Advisory
Committee elected at the last
NAACP - Youth Conference in
New Orleans, La., last Novein
ber met in New York the week
end of February 15th and 16th
to implement recommendations
and resolutions made at the
conference.
In addition to administrative
changes which would give youth
groups greater autonomy with
in the ' Association, the Com
mittee went on record in favor
of youth projects which would
ensure passage of state FEPCs
where none now exists, the en
forcement or passage of state
civil rights acts, the retention
of rent controls and price ceil
ings, and the lowering of the
legal voting age to eighteen.
The Committee, representing
25,000 youth members of the
NAACP, accepted the goal in
the 1947 ' Nation-wide Member
ship Campaign of 100,000 mem
bers in the Association's drive
to "Make! It a Million."
Chairman of the meeting was
Reverend Robert Wilson, of
Columbia, S. C. Mrs. Ruby Hur
ley, youth secretary, supervised
the conference which was greet
ed by Walter White, executive
secretary of the Association and
Roy Wilkms, assistant secre
tary, NAACP, and editor of the
Crisis.
. It would seem that this lad
needs a little mature, sound ad
vice that-will teach him some
of the strategy in being able to
make up one's mind.

U. S. HAS DARK PAGE,
SAYS UN OBSERVER
New York "Representatives
of countries whose inhabitants
are not white feel keenly that
the United States has a dark
page in its treatment of certain
minority groups", Catherine
Scaefer, Official Observer at the
United Nations, told members
of the Catholic Interracial Coun
cil, 20 Vesey St., at their week
ly forum tea here.
Miss Schaefer, who is chair
man of the United Nations
Commission of the Catholic As
sociation for International
Peace, described the safeguards
for human rights provided in
the United Nations charter, and
pointed out the strong emphasis
in the UN on race equality, since
the population of a least half
the nations represented are
colored.-
