. Ifie American Red Cros.- since he
..w what the oruan.nation is doing
in the China-Burma-Ind:a tiieater.
' Member of a USO Spjrts troupe
that entertained Negro troops dur
ing a ^our-nionlh.s’ trip this year,
I Vashiiigton recalls the Red Cross
^laff ineiiibers by naiit'. at viitually
all the leave clubs he visited.
“They made such a fine impres
sion on all us. how could we
ever forget them?" he said “We
'e treat, d in fine style all along
■tie Ledo Road. '
In addition to the All-American
football star, the troupe included
Hammering Hank Armstrong, hold
er of three worlds boxing crowns;
Joe Lilllard, great Ni*gro back from
Orogan University: Joe Louis,
world's heavyweight champion; and
others.
Because the Red Cross was doing
such a "grand" job among the Ne
gro troops in the CBI when he was
there, Washington is convinci-d that
tie oi'Ka.-.iZation will continue its
"topflight woik for the men still

cnjo.vs'a perfect season h«*rc Fri

Carolina State Championship con
test. This will be the Little Blut-o’
third attepipt at the Stale crown
since 1940. In that year they were
defeated by Price lligg of SalLs-
hurv and again in 1941 they lost
to a highly favored William Penn
.High of High Point. The locals
ai( nut willing for the umpire to
Itall it three strikes so each mem-
b(-r of the team has set as his
jmotto that this Ls it and we car
Inot l)e denied. Remembering that
tin locals for a lung time had a
v.-ay winning titles in odd years
anci also that the Blues have not
played a title game at home sire.-
I'.t35 when they defeated Stephen
Let- High of Asheville at Shaw
Alumni Field. The player.H are all
anxious to bring home the bacon.
The Little Blues in 19.35 wi-re
unscored on and united and un
tied and undefi-ate-d and lolieu up
over 370 points in 9 regular st'd'-
on games. Haggle Smith. Red M. -

.warned the players that they will
have to play a belter brand of
ball than thc.y have played this
season if they are to walk off
w ith the title as Gastonia will be
ptihaps playing its beat game an l
will be seeking to bring to Migh-
