NEW YORK, May 13,—(By
Ted Livingstone for CNA)—Ben
Johnson, head mian of the Colum-
9in University track team, showt-d
in no uncertain terms ihat he
will be • factor to be contented
with in the outdoor track season.

new Randall Island stadium Inst
Saturday, Jol-lison was the main
force of the Columbia drive, he
scorini; 15 of tha 74 jwints Co

honors. Jim Hvbert, the ypnug
NYU freshman also broughit the
bacon home in the two events he
participated In.
Johnson set the bait . rolllpgr
early in ttie afternoon ^hen he
romped home in the 23Kyard
dash in the fast timt of 0'.21.6.

CHICAGO, May 13—W. C:
Handy, th« grand old man of the
bltfes, has rampiled a booklet en
titled "Negro Authors and Com-
pokers of the United Statas.” It
is th« moat exhaustive record of
the comjrositions of,our music
writers yet to come to my at
tention, and i« invaluable to aiil
those wishing a concise listing of
tfaeie accdmplishmi^is.
Although running 'the gamut
from classics to blues, I wiBi pai-
ticularly^ in the revlations of
dance and hot music composers.
Everybody knows of Hand’s own
classics, ^f Duke Ellington's mas-
terpiece;, and of Shelton Brook’s
“Some Of These Days” and
“Darktown Strutter’s Ball.”
But just how many know that
Duskymericans wrote many of
the otKer'popular hits of ^yester;:
day, soma ^of them still goin^
strong? For instance:
J. C. Johnson composed “Be
lieve It, Beloved;” Cecil Mack
authored “Teasing;” Joe Trent,
‘ Muddy Wat«;” “Fats Waller,
“Honeysuckle RosCr” “Ain’t Mis-
behavin’,” “I Got A Fellin’ I’ra
Failin',^’ and “My Fate Is Ii^
Your Hands;” Clarence WilliimsT
“Royal Graden Blues” and
Sugar Blues;” Maceo Pinkard,
“Mammy 0’ Mine,” “Sweet Geor
gia Brown” and "Congratula
tions
Will Mpdery, Tomorrow;” Jas.
P. Johnson, “If I Could Be With
You;” Henry Creamer, “Way
Dowjj Yonder In New Orleans"
“After You’ra Gone;” Porter
Grainger, “Oottonj’!__ Clarenee
Muse, “Sleepy Tiffle Down South;
Ferry Bradford, “Crazy Blues;”
Peter Bocage, "Mama’s Gona
Goodby;” Charle s Warfield,
“Ba*y Won’t You Please Come
body Loves My Baby,” and “I’ve
i^und a New Baby;” Ford Dab
ney, and Cecil Mack, “Sliine;”
-King Oliver, “Sugar Foot Stomp;
and Spikes Bros, and Benny Car
ter, "Some Day Sweetheart;”
Now that you read,' you may
remember hearing before that
some of these were sepia coi#t
posed, but there is enough new
information in just this partial
list to surprise the ordinary per
son. A (jon^plet-e per\»sal of ^he
