Today, only a small pari of • this spending is spent with busi- j nesses owned by Negroes. No racial group can become eco nomieaily emancipated unless its spending creates jobs and capital within its body. We therefore call upon men of Omega, to take the leadership in j their chapters and communities, to j work out programs for getting No- { gro owned businesses a greater share of Negro spending.

DESEGREGATION Despite the clarity and dirmive ncss of the United States Supreme Court in its many decisions in the field of desegregation, much still remains to be done in the hare! core of southern states that are adamant and defiant. We commend the: Legal Depart ment of the NAAC i-' foi the fight it is ju iking in the whole field of desegregation. We urge all of our members to continue to support the NAACP in is fight to the full est extent of their means. We also recognize that Negroes living in communities where- de segregation is pending and emin ent, need special leadership to pre pare themselves for this great so cial change. We recommend that this frater nity, in cooperation with others, give all the leadership and direct ion necessary to instruct and pre pare both parent? and children for responsibilities of living in deseg regated common Hies, Urban League Adds Kimball To its Board NEW YORK The election of ; Undslcy F.

It's a championship game and your goal line's behind you— What vrould you do? Kick! That's the play that quarterback Walter Browning, Sr. called back in 1929 when Raleigh’s Washington High School Little liluea were playing William Penn High School oi High Point for the state football championship. But star halfback Kenny Massenburg asked Browning to change the play to an end run from kick formation with him (Massenfourg) rarvyiny the ball. Browning, being afraid of a bawling out from Coach Thurber Armstrong in case the unorthodox play gummed up, vehemently objected: but Massetiburg guaranteed the quarterback that he could bring the ball out, with a long gain and maintain pos session. Browning, reluctantly complied with Massenburg's wlsht cautioned the team to cut down everything in sight; because if the play failed he would leave town immediately arid for good. The Seam lined up ansi Massenburg went to the purttim posi tion in the extreme end /.one. On snap of the ball, each player, to the extent of his full blocking capacity, went Into acliosi and Massenburg ran sixty yards before being hauled down by safety man James Parham, who caught Massetiburg alter he had cut his speed. Massenburg contends until this day. that he could have gone all the wav. High Point lost. 39-0, The '29 team was studded with talent and super-schoolboy stars. How the team would stack up against present day high school teams will never be known, but it is a guess that they could demand re spect in any quarter.
