ROY WILKINS IIRGES BAN ON
TRAPSHOOTERS' RACE BIAS Over Va. State
College, I0-2
NEW YORK
Limitation of the United
States Olympic trapsbooting
team to members of the Ama
teur Trapsbooting Association
was assailed today by Roy Wil
kins, executive secretary of the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored Peo
ple, on the ground that the ATA
excludes Negroes from attive
membership. .
In a letter addressed to Ly
man Bingham, ^gpcutive secre
tary of United \5tates Olympic
Committee, Mr. Wilkins ex
pressed “dismay that the U. S.
Olympic team which will parti
cipate in the 1956 Olympic
games will include a trapshoot-
ing team limited to members of
the Amateur Trapahooting As
sociation.”
Trapshootlng, the NAACP
leader said, “is the only major
American sport which excludes
Negroes from organized compe
tition. It would be a shame for
the United States to be repre
sented in an international event
by such a team.”
Mr. Wilkins also filed a pro
test with Maynard Henry, presi
dent of the ATA, warning that
"unless it is immediately clear
that the ATA will forthwith
end its policy of racial discrimi'
nation we propose to employ all
of our resources within the
courts, the legis^ttures and else
where...both democratically and
in the International sphere” to
halt such discrimination.
“I do not see how in the /ears,
1955, the Amateur Trapsbooting
Association can place Itself in
a category apart from such
great sports as baseball, foot
ball, boxing, bowling and many
others. In fact, the National
Rifle Association which is sure
ly closely related to your or
ganization in purpose permits
participation of all qualified
persons without regard to race.
“The intransigent attitude of
the ATA is even more shocking
in view of the fact that ATA
membership will be a prerequi
site to participation on the
United States trapsbooting team
in the iorthcoming Olympic
gamfes. I do not see bow the
United States can hold up its
head before the ftee world as a
nation based upon equal oppor
tunity for all when it sends to
the international Olympic a ra-
cjally segregated trapshootlng
team.”
The NAACP, he said, "anQl all
it has stood for during the past
half-century could not hold up
its head if it did not oppose
with all its resources such a slur
on America and American Ne
groes.”
“It would be well,” Mr. Wil
kins concluded, “if the ATA
recognized what Americans
generally now agree upon: good
sportsmanship and good Ameri
canism recognize only abUity
and not race. There is no real
reason why there should be any
difference between your organi
zation and ours.”

Medical Milestones

For thousands of years people the world' over have been drinking tea
for a “lift”—enjoying its distinctive flavor and aroma. Tea brought a
sense of well being, picked them up. No one knew precisely why.
Now, according to the Biological Sciences Foundation of Washing
ton, D. C., scientists are well on the way to discovering the reason why
tea has an immediate as well as a'
sustaining action in the relief of
fatigue and anxiety.
Such authorities as Dr. Alfred
H. Lawton, Hedidal Research Ad
visor of the U. S. Air Force, have
recognised the fatigue-relieving
action of tea. In a recent address
on the health problems growing
out of “world crises . . . and an

Dr. Lawton said, “ this strennons

an agent for the relief of fatigue
as any that has be«n offered. Tea
provides relief that is both im

Pulls Muscle
Andrew Graham, crack miler

muscle in a practice session
last week on the eve of the
Carolina squad's meet
with Hampton Institute.
L. T. Walker, N.C.C. track
coach, said “Graham’s loss is a
seVere blow. He’s unlikely to be
of service for the remainder ol
of the season and with the Caro
lina and Penn Relays staring us
in the face, I don’t tiiink we can
expect 'to do without Graham
what we could do with him.”
“Plans are rapidly talcing
shape for the Carolina Relays
on May 7,” Walker continued
as he outlined these events for
the day on the N.C.C. track:

Major Leagues Rapidly Exhausting
Supply Of Negro Baseball Talent
NEW YORK
The major leagues are rapid
ly exhausting their supply of
Negro baseball talent by weak
ening the Negro professional
leagues, asserted Brooklyn
Dodger star Roy Campanella,
in an article in the current issue
of SEE Magazine, released to
day.
The major leagues have al
ready taken the “cream of the
crop" from the Negro pro lea
gues, Campanella declared in
the article. “That was the one
solid soiurce of Negro talent.”
SEE quotes Campanella as
saying: “The Negro leagues are
in trouble now because the
colored fans have shifted their
interest to major league color
ed stars.”
Campanella’s remarks were
made in answer to a query from
the magazine on the subject,
“Will Negroes Dominate Base
ball?” Other baseball figures
who commented included Frank
Lane, Branch Rickey, and
Jackie Robinson.
Branch Rickey, boss of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, said that all
he wants is “an excellent team”
in Pittsburgh and "if such a
team would win. I’d be proud
of it if every player on the club
was an Eskimo!”
"The future of Negroes in
baseball doesn’t need any more
special attention* tlian the fu
ture of the men of any other
color,” Rickey added. “The fu

Plans Fund For
The NAACP
WASHINGTON, D.C.
A national series of bridge
tournaments to benefit the
NAACP will wind up ‘in June
with the presentation of a check
to the NAACP’s annual conven
tion, it was announced here this
week by Victor R. Daly, presi
dent of the American Bridge
Association, Inc.
Mr. Daly, a resident of tills
city, noted that the benefit
tournaments, sponsored by the
Bridge Association, are expect
ed to raise a tota 1 ot $1,000 lor
the NAACP. ^
The benefit tournaments
were undertaken, Mr. Daly
said, as the result of a resolu
tion adopted by the Bridge As
sociation last August. They
were to be held in each city
which has a local club of the
Bridge Association between
September, 1954, and Jime,
1955.
"An organization such as ours
should have some civic purpose,
beyond the mere entertainment
of ourselves, “Mr. Daly com
mented.
The American Bridge Associ
ation was founded in 1932, and
has a membership of approxi
mately 2,000 persons with units
and clubs in 30 states.
“One of the major objectives
of the Bridge Association,” Mr.
Daly said, “is to eliminate ra
cial discrimination in cham-
pionship play. This aim has
been partially achieved.”

baseball will take care of itself.
Frank Lane, General Man
ager of the Chicago Wiiite Sox,
pointed out that the ratio of
population between white and
Negro in this country makes it
“nearly impossible” for the
Negro to dominate major league
basebaU. “There just aren’t
enough Negro boys compared
with white lads to have teams
mostly made up of Negroes,”
Lane stated.
Jackie Robinson, the first
player to break the color bar
rier in the big leagues, agreed
that the Negro will not domi
nate baseball. “The number of
Negro players in the majors
can never compare with the
number of whites,” be told
SEE,” because at most there is
a relatively small number of
colored kids playing the game
as compared to white young
sters.”
Campanella told the maga
zine he believes the Negroes de
veloped in the pro leagues have
been better players generally
than many experts expected,
but the saturation point has
been reached, and now the ma
jors will have to go to the sand-
lots and colleges to find Negro
stars of the future.
“New developing grounds
have to be made for the young
Negro ballplayer,” Campanella
said in SEE. “There is real
groundwork to be done, and it’s
going to take bard work and
patience.”
Carolina College netters came
close to defeat on April 16 in
their contest with the Hamp
ton Pirates; but the local lads
battling furiously with the odds
against them, came from be
hind to gain a tie with their re
doubtable opponents. The final
score was 3-3.
Three days later, on the 19th,
the Eagles bounced back to
trounce St. Augustine’s S-0.
The Raleigh boys were com
pletely outclassed by Coach

games with no great difficulty.
counted out and copped both
doubles to gain a deadlock.
The feature match of the day
saw £Unie Ingram, N.C.C. ace,
pitted against Hampton’s highly
touted Eric Blake. Ingram
downed the Pirate star 7-5, 6-3
much to the delight of Eagle
fans.
The victory over St. Augus
tine's net^rs on the 19th was
the first for the local lads. In-
graih continued his winning
ways by trouncing Bill Thomp
son 6-0, 6-0. The Falcon netter
had little chance with the
speedy, hard-hitting N. C. star
who to date remains undefeat-
