Eddie McGirt^ long punt put the Bears back deep into their own territory, the ball being downed on Mor gan’s 4 yard line, and when Stanley Burdnell stepped back to kick, the ball tipped Mcwby’s hands and was deflected for a fumble which rolled out of the field of play.

Wash ington High used one of foot ball’s oldest tricks, the sleeper play, to defeat the Hillside Hor nets 6-0 Friday night at Higft Rock Park givining them their first loss in five years.

Robinson Is Winner Over Fritzie Zivic By Ted Yates NEW YORK, (TPP.)— The Sugar Cane was sweet on last Friday night. To be more speci fic, Harlem’s sweetest’ fighter since the Roarin’ Twenties (I when the Cubana Kid Chocalate M scored decisive wins over a long I list of pugilistic prides. In the name of the first party of one of the most thrilling fistic en counters ever to be nut on in Madison Square GarafeUj Ray Robinstin flashy, young welter weight won handily over Fritzie Zivic, the former 147-pound champion in a hair-raising ten- round feature before 20,551. As the boys in the theatre circle put it—there was standing room on ly. ^ Long-range blows, in-fighting, fancy stepping and a cool head —^when the going went a little to the other fellow—enabled Robinson to win a popular' ver dict. Referee Arthur Susskind and Judges Bob Cunningham and Bill Healey voted Robinson the victor unanimously. This writer scored seven rounds for Robinson, two went to the Pitts burgh marvel; one round was even. There were no knockdowns. Both fighters fought fiercely throughout, haying the crowd that jammed the Garden, on their toes almost throughout the evening. No battle ever afforded so many thrills. No battlere ever gave the fans a better run for their money. And although Rob inson was the easy winner, be cause of his clean fighting and stellar performance, a return bout would in all probability pack the Polo Grounds in the outdoor season. Seeking to outsmart the less experienced Robinson .J^ho by victory scored his twenty-sixth consecutive win since becoming a professional on October of last year, Zivic resorted to every trick of the trade. On several occasions the referee warned Zivic for hitting low. Robinson was hard hit in the sixth and seventh, only to rally at the end of each stanza to barely give his opponent the round by a shade. In another bout Beau Jack, SpringfieM, Mass., lightweight, decisioned Guillermo Puentei, of Santiago, Chile, in an 8-rounder. There are no rules that apply to every human being and no hu man being that obeys all the ruleB. Did yon ever stop to think how many ancestors yon must hav« had since the days of Colnmbust their name and were strong and alert enough to halt every threat. When the game was over. Coach Herman Riddick of Hillsi3e wasted no time in completing arrangements for a return with Booker T. on November 1, 1942 in Durham. In upseting the championship Hillside High chool Hornets the Fighting Bookers really join the ranks of history-makers. This was the second defeat that a Hillside team had suffered dur ing the five years that Coach Herman Riddick has been in charge of athletics there. Uhtil Friday night Orange County Training School of Chapel Hill had the distinction of being the only team to set the Hornets back. That happened October 12, 1937 in Chapel Hill when the score w^s 13-0 in the second game of the season. Since that time the Hornets have been com ing out on top allowing only 6 ties. Norfolk also became the first and only Virginia team to defeat Hillside. There have been 6 games against Virginia teams. The Norfolk game was Hill side’s first ouside North Caro lina and the thousands who jam- ed High Rock Park saw an ex hibition of football that is sel dom played by high school ele vens. Both teams were at their peak, ever alert and driving hard every second. Coach Rid dick of Hillside has stated that he has nothing but praise for the manner in which his team 'accounted for itself on the field “It was the best and hardest fought game that I have ever seen two high school teams play” he said. That’s really a compliment to the boys, considering that Coach Riddick has seen the best High School teams in the country and has turned out teams that top ped any in this area. He points with |>ride even now to th/it dream team of 1938 with G^ne .(Continued on page eight) Alabama Bows To Morris Brown In Hard-Fought Game MONTGOMERY, Ala.,—Ala bama State's Hornets thrilled tfie crowd here for three quart ers ^by carrying the fight to their highly-favored adversaries but succumbed to a 3 touchdown splurge in the closing minutes of the third quarter and the last quarter to lose by the score of 26-6 to the Morris Brown Nat ional Champs here this afte»- noon. . i , Hi.’ « ^ - The score is fio indication of the calbre of battle which the aroused Hornets put up as is in dicated in the statistics.

Al though the Eagles won the gmme the game the Shaw bears made them do it the hard way. It was early in the fourth quarter that the Durham team opened up with one of the most deadly passing attacks seen in many moons, to mar a gala homecom ing for the Shaw' alumi and stu dent body. Let it be said that the Bears presented dne of the strong^t lines the Eagles have met this season. The two teams battled on land for three quarters on prac tically even terms to give Uie more than 2,000 fans an oppor tunity to vritnmm two of the rat ions elevms appat«ntly in deadly combat.
