DOVBLE TALK RSVEALING For a Negro preacher to en gage in such hypocritical double talk, speaking out of both comers of Us mouth at the same time, telling his own people one thing and white people another, not only raises serious questions as to his worthiness for the prophetic role to which he claims Ood called him, but stamps him as a grand rascal, a miui who will lie whenever it is convenient to do so. There is one thing Td re commend to those timid Negro leaders who are afraid to ex press their real convictions to members of the other race. Just don’t say anything; keep your mouth shut. For it is hard for a silent .man to lie or to be challenged as a liar.

The first indication of com munity support came from T. R. Speight, ciiairman of the board of directors of the in fluential BusineM and Profes sional Chain of Durham. An outstanding service station proprietor, Speight authorized his firm to finance 9,000 copies of the Eagles’ football sche dule. The schedules are now available and many may be obtained by writing F. H. Brown, director of athletics at NCC, or by contacting Mr. Speight. llie second indication of support came in the form of announcement from J. H. Cofield, circulation manager of the Carolina Times, Dur ham weekly newspaper. Co field says the Times manage ment has authorized him to purchase immediately SO Knot Hole ’Hckets” for the Times' news boys. Brown, NCC’s athletic boss who is busy promoting plans to get the Eagles back in the black from their current $2, 600 debt, says the “Eagle Knot Hole Club of North Carolina College” is a special plan to draw spectators from boys and girls in the Durham area un der 14 years to the Eagles’ three home grid games and 10 cage tilts. “Knot Hole” memberships are one dollar per person. Brown said. Special “Knot Hole Buttons” will designate members. “We’re pleased that the Carolina Times manage ment will receive charter membership buttons, and we sincerely hope that other busi ness, social, and professional and related groups in the Dur' ham area will follow the Times’ example in supporting the '“Knot Hole” program. Brown said reports that he was negotiating with the new ly organized “Harlem Magi cians’’ basketball team which features Reece “Goose Tatum” and Marques Haynes are true. “If we can come to terms, the Magicians will play in Dur ham in the Eagles’ gymnasium when they come, South on a barnstorming tour”. Brown said. Season tickets at $12 for all NCC sports attractions are on sale already and may be ob tained from any of the follow ing: E. W. Phillips, H. H. Rid dick, S. B. Fulbright, Ray Thompson, B.

A man of much pride, Sugar would like to vindicate that beating last January 19th in his second comeback . scrap. Whichever one he goes for, Robby has certainly shown how serious he is about this comeback business, by coming back faster and farther than anyone expected. FORMER GRID STAR DROWNS GREENSBORO An outstanding former A&T College football player, Lt.

Gibson of Akron, Ohio; seven sisters and two brothers. „„„„„„ „,„,NCWIA. GRID WNSONlHSeAMtUMlY FROM ROCKY CASnUNNI SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. Sugar Ray Robinson, who has been taking his fight comeback far more seriously than anyone else, proved here against Rocky Castelanni that he still has plenty of guts. Though it was by no means a performance of the old Robin- I son, still it had enough interest and spark to earn the fighting Sugar a shot at Carl (Bobo) Olson’s middleweight title. Robby was below 160 for his battle with Rocky. It told on the 35 year old in the later stages as he seemed to lack stamina and fought on . cour- URGE CROWD EXPECTED FOR JUNIOR OPEN nNNIS TOURNEY By Ernie Ingram A large field is expected for the Southeastern Junior Open Tennis Tournament, slated to get under way on the Algon- juin Club court on Fayette ville Street here this week.
