MORTEN , (For Associated Negro Press) , Oktarnoma's 50t‘ Anniversary i The 50th anniversary of Okla ) homa’s stacheed in the union was ■ marked June 15 in the opening ! of an International Exposition in , Oklahoma City. Numerous digni taries ttteuded the celebration at ! the State Pair Grounds celebrat | ing Oklahoma’s entrance in the | Union as the 46th state. Ironically, but at the same time assumed, little if any mention was made in regard to Negroes and the state of Oklahoma way back during the early days of history. The celebration brings to mind how many Negro Americans were tricked out of valuable oil-produc ing property in Oklahoma by , whites who used every method of chicanery in the book. To begin, Indians who dwel led in Oklahoma in large numbers were slave-owners as well as whites during, (he 19th century. VSilh the advent of emancipation, the Indians freed their slaves and many gave the Negro plots of land to begin his newly-founded free way of life. The land they gave the Negro was not thought of as too valuable by the Indians, some of whom went as far as splitting their property 50-50 with their slav es when they received their freedom. Later, it was discovered that the land given Negroes possessed immense wealth In oil and by the time Oklahoma was given state hood in th» i union, whites swarmed into thp land staking claims to property that was unclaimed and making all types of bargains to gain the valuable oil-producing property from Negroes. With a high proportion of them uneducated to any great degree, things that whites offered, such as small amounts of money, live stock and many other low-valued elements, seemed exquisite to many Negroes. Consequently, they bartered and lost property that A leading contender for Nation- j ;d League bat ting honors. Robin- j son. only 21. was hatting well ov- j or ,300 ar of last Thursday.

The leg end is Jim Brown the great all around athlete who has signed to play football with the pro-Cleve land Browns. Brown has an almost unpa ra lied career tor versality at the centra! New York State university. He was an out standing football player an All - American by any standard. For two seasons, he was a standout basketball player, by-passing the sport this year to devote more time to his studies. The Manhasset, N. Y„ athlete also excelled in track. He was best, in the Broad jump, high jump and at throwing the Javelin and discus. Last year at Crawford ville, Ind in the National Col legiate Athletic Association meet he placed fifth in the decathlon. And this spring—just a couple of weeks ago—he wound up his brilliant college career with a truly great performance in la crosse. He participated In the annual North-South lacrosse game at Baltimore and had the fans shak ing their heads in disbelief after he scored five goals and two as sists in less than half the game, to lead the North to a 14-to-10 triumph. Veteran authorities of the game were loud in the praise of the 220- nound Brown. “Brown is the greatest la crosse player Fve ever seen,” said Gardner Mallonnee, form er Johns Hopkins (Baltimore) All-American and coach, “and that includes all the great Hopkins and Mount Wash ington players I've watched over the last 30 years.’’ Charley Clark, president of the United States Intercollegiate La crosse Association, was equally profuse in tossing econiums: “I've never seen a better la crosse player. It's amazing that a man with his size can be not on ly so fast but so graceful. Why. the way he whirls and dodges is unbelievable."

Since dim was extremely skillful in foot - ball and baseball—and per haps would have been in the | other sports if time, and op portunity permitted—he had ; 1 no trouble at all getting thp ! hang of lacrosse. It’s a rugged contact game, but that was no bar to Brown, who was a rugged, football player. Readers will recall that this 4 ■ sport marvel set an NCAA indivi ' dual scoring record in his last regular season football game. He registered 43 points in a brill!- 1 ant farewell against Colgate Brown also piled up 98fi yards 1 rushing last season for a new Orange record, beating the old mark by 181 yards. He led the Orange to a near upset in the Cot ton Bov i game, scoring 20 points as the team lost 28-t0~27. Brown will be used as a fail back for Tiie Browns next fall. He wishes though, there was pro fessional lacrosse (with compar able remuneration). When he wound up his amateur ■ career with the game at Balti more, he said: “I’m afraid I won't have time for any more lacrosse, but it's sure a swell game. It's a lot more fun than football, overall, be . cause lacrosse practice is so much : tun. where football practice is 1 hard work.” and expressive arrangements.
