BEATING THE , GUN y BY BILL BROWER FOR ANP j IS ■ - s ' Not so long ago a southerner j d | (John Leonard of Columbia, S, 7 ) ! :e I was visiting Pittsburgh. Looking j n i for an evening of entertainment, I n j he could think nothing more ex- j >t! citing that seeing the Duquesne- j | Cincinnati basketball game—or i i rather nothing more exciting than! | a chance to watch Oscar Robert-! | son, Cincy’s spectacular sopho- j | more, in action. l When the southerner got back ; home, he unburdened himself of 1 his innermost thoughts, in a let- j ter to a Pittsburgh sports writer, i “For many years I have wanted! h j to see the famous Dukes of Dud- j e ed Moore in action. And, I’m sure I e any fan would relish an opportu-1 nity to see Oscar Robertson and j o the Bearcats at the same time,''; s lie wrote. “However, upon my return home.! f must' admit to my family ant!' - ; friends that the courtesy and I j sportsmanship extended to l,h< Negro in the North is not of the! gallant nature that we in thei 'backward' South are !ed to it-I 1 lieve. ** * * “I was shocked, to say the least, as the Duquesne stud ents near me shouted hideous 1 aid repulsive semarks in the d ection of Oscar Robertson wl i { thought showed excellent poiie for a sophomore playing aw ;> from home against a pte eise ind dogmatic team. , * * » * “Then, in the closing seconds of 1 ! the game a man wearing a Du j quesne sweater iiarl the audacity i j to walk onto the playing courts ! and berate this boy Robertson. This aparently a common occur ence in this area as no one made the slightest effort to hinder this person. The reaction of the stud-i ents seemed to indicate that, he! , was their spokesman. “Many of the Southern schools' , have been condemned for not per i muting Negroes to participate in' | athletic events with whites.

Crowe was a real Sparkplug for j the Reds last season, filling in at the initial sack when a back in jury kept Ted Kluzewski out of the lineup most of the time. Ted has since been traded to the Pitts burg Pirates. spectators at any sports event Is certainly to be condemened. .•* * * Not being among these at the Bearcat-Dukes game, we would not know what sort of specta tor decorum prevailed. It’s not uncommon—whether or not tan players are involved—for a partial hometown crowd to become somewhat unruly and even indulge in raillery against a star player of the opposition.
