What a ilel H(»\\ ean a eoaeh preteiul to have ethics dur
ing suih beetle timesi Well, they just must, that’s all.
Though a siunt few ]ios.s»'!»s no ethics at all and probably clai>s-
ify such a term iir nebulous vagary, the majority attempt to
iiold to a Meiiibliiiiit of ileceiiey and thereby set the fine ex
amples they are deereed to M.‘t before their charges aiul their
public. — ■
A recent survey of Coaching Ethics in the U. S. shows
that in 1950 co; ■ hes behaved at their away-from-home-
games a little less gentlmanly than heretofore, but be
haved at home games a little better. The home crowds in
1950 also did not embarrass the coach by their actions as
much this year. The fact that seventy-four percent of the
coaches spent more time in 1950 educating their home
crowd through rules and officiating clinics is directly re
sponsible for the decrease in unsportsmanlike conduct by
fans and followers. Our survey*shows, further, that home
crowds do not stage all the histrionics since seventy-eight
percent of the baketball coaches say they cannot take poor
officiating without some demonstration. They say they are
forced to let off some steam when the official goes too
far wrong.
T-weuty-eight pereciit of U. S. coaches say that the pressure
for winning teams has iiiereased. Sixty-two percent say that
that the pressure is about the same and being the same, is
bad enough. They believe that the pressure of winning is the
biggest factor affecting a coach’s behavior and that the rage
to win at any cost often makes coaches temporarily unethical
in their practices. Eighty-eight percent of all coaches feel
that this pressure definitely affected their actions to varying
degrees in 1950.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned percentages of
this and that, ninety-three percent of the coaching pro
fession said, perhaps paradoxically, that they as coaches,
set a good example this past season nd that th^r teams
reflected honor on their institutions by exemplifying a
high moral philosophy.
Indeed a Herculean task accomplished, if so.

“Some people are using the
race issue to divert the peo
ple’s attention from their own
inabaility to correct current
mistakes and to make needed
improvements in boxing,”
adds the famous fight pro
moter in a sighed article in
the May issue of EBONY, the
Negro picture magazine.
Jacobs, now retiring and liv
ing in Miami, says the Ebony
article, “Have Xegroes Kill
ed Boxing,” represents his
first opportunity to .speak
“my mind on this critical
issue.”
He points out that, while the
number of Neg*"> boxers is
above the one-in-ten propor
tion to be expected from the
size of ^the Negro population
in the country, “there are on
ly three Negro champions in
the existing .eight divisions:
th heavyweight, welterweight
and lightweight groups.
“Frankly, J am surprised
that Xegroes do not hold more
championships than they do.
It is rny conviction that Ne-
gr»es ari' way ahead of wliite
boxers and are really the big
factor keeping boxing alive
today. They train much hard
er than white boys, and then,
coming from an under
privileged baekground, they
learn early in life that one
must fight hard to survive.
That’s why we have so many
fine young colored boxers

Baseball fans at North Caro-

"all the oold weather which
winter didn’t produce has
been hiding.
The Eagles have been forced
to postpone three ball games
since the campaign began
^arUer this month. Rainy
weather put the damper on a
tilt with Shaw scheduled on
April 5, but just plain cold
weather knocked out loop
games between the NCC’ets
ajid Lincoln and Delaware,
slated during the last two
weeks.
With the mercury shivering
around the 40-degree mark,
fans are asking, “Does any

lirooklyn Dotlger star Jackie
Kobinson says that he wants
his s»>n .lackie, dr., to be an
athlete ami a major league
j)layer if he is a good enough.
The National League’s most
valuable player says in a May
NEGRO DIGEST article
title “What I Want For My
Son” that character is not
devolped in home and school
only.
“Character comes from
healthy contact with others in
activities like sports. If this
boy of mine is an active ath
lete who earns to give his all
in a yame, he will dcvtdop
((ualities of character and
team play that will helj) him
greatly in later life.”
He will not try and predict
what his son will do, the
Brooklyn second baseman says.
But when Jackie, Jr. reaches
college age, his parents hope
he will go to his dad’s alma
mater, UCLA.
“if my kid goes in a foot
ball,” .lackie says, “I’ll be
pulling for him to make the
first team and I ’11 cherish the
dream that he will play for
his s(diool in the Hose Bowl
Bowl team.’’
By the time his ott-spring
is old enough for the majors,
Jackie continues, he is cer
tain every big league team will
have at least one Negro play
er and several others in their
farm systems.
•lackie concludes:
“If my son goes in for base
ball and is good enough at it,
I hope he is one of these
men.”
