Seldom h9S Negro loqthall ever
experienced a session in which
great coaching jobs were more
numerous than during 1941.
Out at Morris Brown, Billy
Nicks put an end to that ancient
Florida jinx and, after the Purple
Wolverines had lost 9-7, 14-12, and
20-13, in successive years, the lit
tle iron man gave the Rattlers a
decisive 20-0 blackeyg. Hig team
held Florida to a mintlg five yards
rushing. Nicks’ men won 10 in a
row, losing the last time out.
Big Bill Bell at Florida refu^inl
to be daunted by the Morris Brown
rout. He, Jake Oait'hA:, and Btick
Nielson kepi ^tB-eoaebtfig) In
the end, it was Florida who eante
out of the ehaog of .stirring 1941
season with the strongest claim

Cleve Abbott did a phenomenal
job the past season. Operating with

The Eagles had a fine team in
1940 but they nejther pla.yed any
such challenging schedule nor idjj
quite as well as they have done in
1941. Along with Jap Hurt at Mor-
fyiiii, JaiiRSi Ui'*niii,-the little dyn^ii
pio at Hampton, Bisr Jeff at Vir-
a State, and Ed Jackson r.t
Joliriscu C. Smith, Burghardt was
one of the year’s successful grM
mentors. There arc many who fe*>l
that he deserves overall recogni^
tion as “Coach of the Year,” the
whole, nation consiiiered.
It would be hard to give so ex-

which was one of the four teams to
defeat the locals in 194T. ,

on six, lost two, and tied one in
[regular combat. The loss to the
I Golden Bull came in the New

Thus, there were four outstand-

Arthur Kean was undis

Midwestern circuit. His Thor i-
bredg were undefeated winners of
the conference title, won five ou*,
of seven in regular play,v and cli
mbed the season with a 1913
triumph in the Oil Classic New
Year’s Day in Houston, Texas, n-
gainst Prairie View.
Oirt in the Southwest, Sam Tasr^.
lor had his best season sinci; leav
ing Clark. Sam turned up with a
club that went through the regular
campaign undefeated. The lone “ec-
back was in the season’s final New
Year’s I>ay.
However, there were other good
cofiching jobs. A. W. Mumford did
all right at Southern and A. V.
Rettig had a highly inipryved te^n
at Texas, figuring in the upsel of
the year in the Southwest when
the Steers routed Langston 18-7. ' ^
But the Coach of the Year in tie

is Charles Felton (Zip) Gayles, t!u>

Had Morris Brown or Florida
lost so many men, the performance
?ould not have been so extraordl-
lary. But Lane has no such foot-
resources as these institutions
ward and end under the immortal
B. T. Har%'ey. Beating Morris

was, without a doubt, the super-
colossal, coaching gem of the yeai’.

Hairston was awarded a decision,
conVpensatory damages of $500 and
punitive damages of $1,000 was a-
■wafded by the lower court.
From judgement of the lower
court the defendant appealed, as
signing as error the following ex
cerpt from the. lower court judge’s
charge to the jury:
“Nominal damages, gentleman,
ure ..construed to be, say $1.00,
$15.00, $50.00, some nominal dam

considered as mere nominal dam
ages was tantamount to the ex
pression that the amount paid was
inadequate.
The defendant further contend
ed that its motion for non-su!r
should have been allowed on the
grounds that the plaintiff’s evi
dence showed satisfactory of.»set-
tleirient by acceptance and the
spending of $15 cash which came
to him out of the $55 paid for the
release.
It was admitted that of the con
sideration for the release $25 was
paid to a doctor and $15 to an at
torney engaged at the time.
The decision said in part;
“We can not concur in th's
view. Taking the plaintiff’s test;'-
mony in the light most favorablvj
for him and considering the evi
dence tending to show the plain
tiff’s, ignorance, the condition of
the attorney at the time, he op
pressive manner and language of
th(®e who procured the release
and paid him%$1.5, we are unable to
say that the plaintiff has proved
hiniFelf out of court. We think the
question of ratification under the*
cireunistauces was one for the juvy^
“The general rule in this juri.>-
diction is that in addition to com
pensatory damages or smart mon
ey may be awarded by the jury if
they deem It proper to do so.
“It is equally well settled that
liability for punitive damages may
be imposed upon a corporation or
other principal when the injury is
inflicted in a manner which would
justify such an award and the ser
vant or agent causing the injury iS
acting within the scopt of his em
ployment and in the furtherance of
the master’s business.
“There the liability for punitive
as well as compensatory damages
is referable to the principal Dr
respondeat superior.”
The defendant ecepted the sub
mission of the issue on the ground
that thfe corporation should not be
held liable for punitive damage.s
for the assault committed by the
servant since the act was out-sid^
the scope of the servant’s employ
ment, and not in furtherance of
the defendant’s business.
One of the longest of the current
session, the decision cited numer
ous railroad cases in which dam
ages perpetrated largely on Ne
groes were upheld and pointed out
each - instance that the carrier
is responsible for protecting a pas
senger from insults or assaults by
other passengers or by their own
servants, denying the Greyhound

non-suit, but granting a new trial.

“Unless you are a teamworker,” says Mr. B. C. Forbes,
‘■you are little likely to succeed under modern coflditions—
civilization is built on teamwork—all thing's are done by
teamwork—teamwork^has givra us homes, business build
ings, modern equipment and facilities—all trade, all com- •

“Stop teamwork and we would revert to an unciviliied
mod^of life—but teamwork will not be stopped—the trend _
is toward still greater teamwork.”
“One secret of the successful teamworker,” according
to Mr. Forbes is that “he doesn’t wear a chip on his shoul
der; he doesn’t look for slights; he is not constantly on
the alert lest his ‘dignity* be insulted.” Yet he is no
jelly-fish. He need never compromise his selif-respect, nor
sacrifice his principles,” “The teamvjarker can be—must
be—every inch a man.”
vFinAlly, Mr. Forbes pays the teamworker a, rare trib
ute; “Tejmwork calls for a cnrtain amount of unMlfishr
ness. It calls for tolerance—g'ood fellowship—companion-
ableness. It. is an asset without which a man is likely to
bankrupt his career.”
€ood philosophy, isn't it, fellow citixen?
v/hen a teamworker gets into chamber of commerce
work, things move ahead!
^ Much work has been accomplished durin^|^ past ye«r
and the foundation for still larffer and better wiork hait
