The Sports Bazaar fir WillifiiD Tg(k JT IS AT THIS SEASON of the year'that the average college foo4lkall coach takea very seriously the fact that he to put ever tmother te»in in the fall and the problem jat putting «. out a t«aiB becomes a pn>blem in the real sense of the word when the coach has to look for arterial with which to build an almost new team rather than merely getiin]; additional material. At North ~^(diaa College, Coaches Hurghardt and McLendon (and many oth«i«) thought they were not going to have a thing to worry about in the matter of « strong line this ialL They had in Pitts, PrMton, Anders, Davis, the Nudeus of the strongest line in the OlAA. These men were Freshmen l^t season and really held their o^n when they got into “big company.” But the wor^t has happen ed; Preaton, Pitts, and Davis have found that they are not going to M|CC in the 1^1 and the inevitaible result is that Mr, Burghardt ia ceing HILLSIDE POOL OPENS BASJE TO PLAY IN CHARLOTTE Count Of Swing Will Appear At Armory Wed. to have the sanaa task in the fall that he has had every fall since he’s been here. The taak of putting together a brand Etw team, made up mainly of boya that are just out of high acbool. SapUcing Pitta, Davis and Prccton in the North G^olina Collaga line means a great deal moM than just finding men who can play guard ^d tackle. Those men were admittedly among the beat in the ClAA as freshmen and there would have been no atopping the Eagles if it had been possible for them to return. Peter Willie leaves a bole at end that is not easily filled. Of course, Alexander Alston was fastly coming ujp ft TH£ man for the position on offense be cause of his speed, but when it tgnes to defensive they play Willie will be hard to replace. 3'H£ OP£!NINS OF THE HILL SIDE swimming pool Saturday will none too early because that June aan is begwning to ahow faow it can really boil down; and in, on, or under the water is about the coolest spot to be found. However, while Durham is welcoming the opening of the Hillside pool, Clytrlotte swimmers are bemoaning the fact that th^ h6le that the city had provided ai s pool for Negroes has been eomdemaed by the st«l>e health officials. It is Pitiable, (to say the least) that in our state’s largest and otherwise progressive city, Negro taxpayers pan’t even have a decent place inside the city to take a swim during the ).ot months. After the makeshift pool was condemned, Negroes were told by the parks ch^rman that no provision would be made this suminer for Negro swimmers and what will be done later, it was implied, depends on what money is left ove'r from other spendings. ARTURO GODOY, the South American Hejlvyweight champion who stayed the limit with Joe Louis in their last fight and who is slated to try his luck again next Thursday night, has written in one of the ie^Jing magazines as well as the Associated Press bis ideas about how their next meeting'will turn out. At least he ia on the side to do his bragg ing before the fight because it inv^'iably turns out that Louis’ opponents who make such high toned predictions in their own favor are literally unable to say a word after the fight is over. Godoy says: “I’ll make him slap happy. 1 intend to use an entire different style this time.” In the following vfords of Godoy there is a gre^ deal of truth: “Whether I stand up straight, Jean over backward, stand on my head, or come barging in with ^ fierce attack, Louis as champion should be able to cope with any style of fight. If some one comes along with ^ style he can’t cope with, then Louis not the cham pion, but the other fellow is.” But Louise is' and will be the champion. CHARiLO'TTE >— One# again that “Ace Dance Promoter” Ramon Tire” Mason has looked out. over the country’* swing arirftcrs with hia magic for detecting good swing music and selected through arrangements with the Masic Cor^ration of American the on€ #iid only ::The Count of Swing,” COUNT BASIK and his Orchestra featuring James Rushing, ‘*260 pounds of Blues” with Helen Humes, ‘ Swing Stylist.” Basie has one of the outstanding swing orgiAiiza- tions in the country and only re cently completed a nation-wide "one-night tour” that showed S. R. O. signs at nearly every en- gi^gem^nt He ia classed at the top of awing ladder wiith few rivals Count Basie’s history begins nt Kansas City in 1934, jnst after the deiAh of Bennie Moten, the Negro bandleader. Basie had been Moten’s pianist and #Ubist- ant conductor, so it was natural that Coiint assumed command of the band following Moten’s death. For nearly two years, Bssie led the boys at the Seno C.ub in Kfiisas City. One,4)f his broadcasts from Kansas City attracted the atten tion of Benny Goodm^li, “The King of Swing,” who was plftying in Chicago afthe time. Groodman made it a point to “c^ich” Basie’e broadcasts and soon be came Count’s strongest booster, through Goodm^’s recommenda tion, the band wai brought into the fold and the road up- v/ard was definitely underway. From this point Count Baeic and his orchestra were booked into testing spots—that is tJiey played before the sternest cri tics in the land and to say they came through would be at mild understattement. They were sen sational.' Much of the attraction of Count’s band playing comes from the ifist. that the band plays as much unarranged as arranged playing and really hfis the soloists to make the Jamming woi'th while. With a remarkable rhythm seotion, fine s^es and sense, a rare combii^4^>on. Vo cals are delivered in the same style by James Rushing and Helen Humes, the latter ^ new singer who ia certain to I^obm* well known. Basie, the disciple of Fata Waller and Bennie Moten, brings to the musical world a new kind of swing: Blended >lnd soTt, in tense and precise, interpreted by an orchestra chosen meticulously from the nation’s best musicians. Malcolm Jphnson, noted New York Sun Columiat^ writii^ of Bi^sie’s engagement »X the Famous Dojjr recenUy said “for a band that settles down aolidly for an ev'ening’s rhythmic work ahid pushes on with unremitting drive and spirit, there is nothing in town to match the Count and his associates.” Baaie is a veterans of coluiV to-coast broadcasts on all net works and besides his unp)sfealled holdovers at the Famous Door, he has ^played at the Grand Terrace, Chicago: The Roseland Ballroom, New Tfork, Th® Wil liam Pen#, Pittsburg; The Riti- Carlton, Boston; two seasoni at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago, iftid the Southland Nightclub in Boston. Helen Humes, vocalist with Count Basie’s famous orchestra, gained the job as a result of a contest. About six months ^o, Basie staged a tournament of swing to get a topnotch swiag singer for his aggregation and Helen Humes won eifeily. Bom in Louisville, Kentucky, twenty five years ago, Helen haa mastered two dissimilar vocal styles. She can and does giva forth in it sizzling, acroching scat number or she can send out ill one of those sweet and low- duwn torch songs that makn your heart pep up. Up in Harlem, Helen is known as the best jumping Jive singer north of the If^on and Dixon Line, and they ought too know.
