Paka University Sunday, Mon
day and Wednesday, The finals
were run off Wednesd2(y after-
licon atfter rain had halted the
races Sunday and Tuesday.
Thirty one enthusiastic fellows
from both races took pii't in the
4c(4>y and they all showed an
snlimitcd degree of stamina,
courage and the determination
to wia.
King, whose racer number
10—« neat little red Job, was the
loat eolored entrant to be eli
minated. It was in the nineteen-
tbe heat that he lost to Jaimes
Beaman who continued to win
first place and the trip to the
national races at Akron, Ohio

Goldston, ''tilfs^ U«jteywood,. and
Roosevelt Revels. ^
In spite of the vsAious post;;'
ponements, the derby was well
attended, enthusiasts could be
seen hurrying toward the track
early in the afternoon, and they
were not disappointed for thrills
and spills featured in the day’s
attraction.
One minor casulty occurred
according to information 1)rought
to the press box. Leon Goldston’s
car turned over down an em
bankment at the end of his hedt.
We sent aid immediately and his
injuries were determined as only
slight. I i
FAIRNESS PREVAILS
The Durham Junior Chamber
of iCommerce is to (be commended
upon the orderly and fair man
ner of procedure used in handl

question Sunday afternoon as to
the decision made in one of the
races. The judges, however,
when approaiched concerning the
matter, graciously admitted' the
possibility of a mistake and

“THAT RIGHT, YOU’RE WRONG”
IN THIS YiHAR’S EDITION
OF THE ANNUAL SOAP BOX
XBY here, the nine Negro
ints failed te win any top
positions gr any prises hat they
did a greUi deal toward making
the others know that they were
in there. The fellowS who re
mained in the running longest
were Leon Goldston and Ruther
ford King who ran in What might
be termed the quarter finals.
Goldfton got himself a few
bruises jilus loads of radio pub
licity by crtishing into ^he curb
»nd rolling over and over down
an emibankment and crashing in
to a tree when his "soap box”
got out o^ control after he had
lost 4 rather fast heat. Tom
Hubbard also came in for a little
"note" during the three days of
the derfcy. It was on Sunday
that he finished neck and neck
with a white riicer; the radio
announcer stated end of
the race that Hubbard won but
later said that the judges hi.fl
decided that the winner was the
whiCe youngster. It was then
that Dr. Hu^ard, Tom’s father
and Bill Strudwick for the
CAROONA TIMES went into
wbtion. They spent the remaind
er of Sunday and Monday in
the attempt to find from the
officials the reasons for the
change of decision and the re
sult was that the rtke was re
run (,n the final day, Wednes
day. Of course Hubbard really
lost this time but the fact that
he was given another chance
was somewhat a victory.
An unsung hero of the derby
was Arthur Hart who worked
with James Beaman, the winner,
in getting the winning car ready.
Hart really is mechanically in
clined and (the car probably
would not have been the winner
without him. _0f course, theje
was ii Negro mechanit: for almost
all of the cars, (quiet gs its
kept).
COACH W. F. BURGHARDT
ef North Carolina College joined
the great list of “Only” Negroes
last week. He was the only Ne
gro College coach to ilttend
Wallace Wade’s coaching school
at Duke University. The school,
dealing wHh football, ibasketball
dnd track, is held for one week,
ending Saturday, August 3. Lec
tures are given in the afternoon,
and movies at night.
THE NEW GYMNASIUM and
swimming pool at North Carolina
College will go info t^e with the
opening of school in September
and there is the possifiility that
at least a Minor in Physical
education will be offered. jA
major will not be given unless
President Shepard decides to
purchase an entire round of new
modern equipment. A course in
swimming will be added to the
curriculum.
A PEW SLJGilT CHANKJES
in the athletic department at
North Garolina * College will go
into effect in September. Mr.
Burghardt will continue as head
of the department ahd
coach of football and track 4>ut
will be relieved of the coaching
of 'basketiball. Assistant ilthletic
director, J. B. McLendon will
tftke absolute charge of the rangy
basketbajlers when winters rolls
around. '*‘Bus” Holmes wUl “con
tinue to mtike that heuriL NOC
football line charge r(ght; just
as he was taught to charge in
the days when NCC teams were
feared and respected by the
best of them. He’s the line
coiih. Miss Vivian Merrick will
preside over the women’s gym
nasium as director of — athletics
for women. Another “home town
girl” is doing all right.

ther Joe Louis seems to be com
ing up over the boxing horizon.
He is Buddy Moore, a 19-year-
old heavyweight who made him
self a stUr in the New York
Gorlden Gloves via the KO
route. Hia resemblance to Joe
Louis is facial as well as in phy
sique, ahd its an old story for
Buddy to be mi6taken for the
Brown Bomber he strolls the
streets of Harlem. He made his
profeasional debut just two
weeks ago.

The extreme heat that has
been Durham’s lot for the past
several days, has driven ,thou-
a^ids to the Hillside Park Swim
ming pool, morning sSfternoon
and night. The attendance has
more than doubled during the
past two weeks and it must be
attributed either to the extireme
heat or the fact thalt Durhamites
are naturally taking a grester
interest in the Hillside pool.
Coach Burghardt is still giv
ing free swimming lessons to
non swimmers ahd beginners
Wednesday night and everyone
should feel free to come out and
lea^n the fundament)als of the
sport that often means the diff
erence between living and drown
ing. It is not necessary to men
tion thaft the water is also the
coolest spot to pass away your
spare time these days.
On Monday afternoon the
Bbenezer softball team won
^ from £!ast End 9-0, but on Tues-
they lost a hard fought
game to the College Heights all
stars 4.6. On Wednesday they
won from Coca-^Calo 9.0. After
the league game, the Tigers de
feated the East « Durhatn Colts
7.3.
Thursday afternoon the Eben
ezer 'Tigers are slatN to meet
the Community league leaders,
White Rock. As the Tigers are
now in second place thii gdme
willdetermlne whether there will
be a new league leader or whe
