OLD
d
Is Studying To
Become Priest
■raCHNY, ni. — The form
er flyweight champion of
Panama has moved into a
heavier division he is studying
to become a prieH.
Seminarian Albert Lawrence,
S. V. D., 28 year old Negro,
will be ordained here after com
pleting four more years study.
His story is told In the cur
rent issue of The Shepherd,
magazine for young men in
terested in the priesthood,
published here by the Future
Priest club.
“About thirteen years ago,
boxing was my only interest;
the world’s championship my
only god,’ Lawrence said. At
that time he was national fly
weight champion of the Re
public of Panama, a title that
he held for three years.
At 16 he became a semi-pro
fessional and won 9 out of 11
bouts in his first year. He did
semi-professional boxing for
three years and was on the
threshold of a professional box
ing career when he felt “there
was .something missing in the
fight business.” H« decided to
quit.
“Dishonest managers and even
crooked referees had wormed
their way into the sport,” he
"aid. “I had exnected a great
thrill from knocking out an op-
nonent: all I fMt wa^ diogust.
And the further uo thp ladder
I wenrt, the more fickle the
crowds became.” '
Lawrence said he needed a
Greater ideal to satisfy his idea
of a trut chamnion. He came
across a copv of “The Shepherd”,
in thnf maffazine learned it was
possible for him to become a
priest.
“Was thif the challenge I’d
wiiiht* Bsk^
b)m«eW. "Could I fight for
' [Chriit ♦too?” t
• saM 1w* found thw
reslizallon of all his boyhood
idenis in th« seminary.
"I still want to fight not
other men, but Satan and sin. I
stni want to win a crown not
a peri^hahlp one for mv*»>lf, but
pn eternal one for others. i
still want to be, a ^ampion - a
missionary champl^ for Chirst.”

GREEN BAY’S YEAR
AGA1N.7 Nearly everyone is
picking the Green Bay Packers
to rei>eat as National Foot
ball I.^aKue champions, and
one not disposed to arpfue the
question ifi Otto Graiiam, It
■was Graham’s college all-star
team that was whomped by
the Paclcprs last month in the
traditional Chicago massacre.
After the ganra, Graham
praised all the Packers, par
ticularly their quarterback
Bart Starr. He is, Otto claim.i,
the most underrated back in
pro football, and with that
powerful Packer line in front
of him is a threat to throw a
touchdown pass almost every
time he fades back.
‘‘He gets back there," Otto
ssys, "and drinks a cup of tea
and then throws the ball.” By
way of explanation, Graham’s
college linemen hadn’t come
close to dumping Starr and
Bart had thrown four touch
down passes against them.
Of course, Otto didn't men
tion Paul Hornunpr. the glamor
boy of pro football and also
the league’s most valuable
player. Ilomung recently dis
closed that he had been of
fered a $250,000 three-year
contract by an American Foot
ball League team it he would
jump thft NFL. Paul turned it
down. “It would be like going
Irom the New York Yankees
to the Louisville Colonels,’
he said.
Hornung recently presented
his roommate. Max McGce,
■with a copy of the new Paul
Hornung biography. McGee
leafed through it a moment
and then hummed, "Iloy, they
tised your name to tell my
life story.”

He cited the Red Sox as an ex

Club was the last to take Negroes
—and not one has ever been_ c
regular, "fhey have slipped badly,
Robinson says, and it Is due to
their failure to go after available
Negro ballplayers.
Conceding that there have been
major advancements in the last
15 years, Jackie says that any pre

that a Negro must know his place.
Today,' he admits, “if lie can run

The most serious problems fac
ing Negro ball players today is the
off-the-field baseball jobs. A few
become scouts, but otherwise
there’s little place in the baseball

Robinson says in Pageant maga

Negro youngstiers get bonuses com
parable to others; he would like
to see more Negroes in the Ameri
