THE SPORTSBEAT
BY LEROY T. WALKER
A Sportewriter’s DOemma . . .
What does a guy write about when he has just been giv
en the assi^unent to do a weekly sports column? What are
tthe avenues of expression which will be of interest to his
readers? What type of information will make good copy?
These and many other questions of a similar nature have
been asked.
Having once served as an assistant and head coach of
football, basketball and track, it may be assumed that this is
a sufficient background for a commentary on certain tech
nical aspects of these sports, the significance of a particular
rfAf^nso or offense in relationship to personnel and opposi
tion. The advantages and disadvantages of single wing and
the T-formation in football or a comparison of the fast break
and deliberate offenses in basketball. Is this type of discus
sion meaningful to the TIMES readers?
Having served as an official in football, basketball, base
ball and track may indicate some ability to discuss certain
rules and regulations as they affect the conduct of the game
and the general enjoyment of the spectator. For example,
the debated one-plus-one foul rule in basketball and the re
cently abandoned two-platoon system in football. There is
quite a discussion raging now about these two rules.
Certainly membership in the Benchwarmers Club and
attendance at the major basketball games and toiunaments,
football games and bowl games, and national and internation
al track meets should qualify one as a spectator sports fan
or just plain kibitzer. But would the compilation of high
lights and records in the above mentioned sports sufficiently
Interest the TIMES sportsbeat readers? Maybe.
Too, by a fortunate association with outstanding sports
figures like genial Joe Yancey of the Pioneer Club, Abe
Saperstein of the Sports Enterprise and Harlem Globetrot
ters, Len Ford of the Cleveland Browns football team, Sugar
Ray Robinson, Luke Easter, Jackie Robinson and other base-
ballers, and hundreds of coaches, some interesting sidelights
have b«n observed which may interest our readers.
And so the dilemma grows. But as we receive reac
tions from the readers, much of the indecision will be eli
minated. For already many have asked us to give our reac
tion to the one-plus-one foul rule and the recent action of
the football rules committee which abandoned two platoon
football in its strictest sense. This we will do.
And every week the SPORTSBEIAT will carry a feature
on the CIAA highlights and the happenings among the scho
lastics in North Carolina.
Next week we kick off. Comments or suggestions wel
comed.

-Despondent-
(Continued from Page One)
On the following night (Wednesday), Jones decided that life
irai not worth 11 vine any.longer, so he made a noose ont of his
underwear, looped it over a bar in his cell and tried to hang hlm-
«elf.
Bat even in this, Jones’ ever hounding, malignant fate foiled
lilm, for he was discovered by a cell mate and rushed to Lincoln
Hospital.
Althongh Jones’ statement about the beating he received at the
hand of the Durham police was not given In the form of a protest
bat aa a matter of course. Major W. W. Pleasants stated last week
that it is not the policy of the Durham police force to force prison
ers into confessions by beating them.
A pathetic looking, despondent figure, Jones was released
from the hospital Sunday in good shape (he suffered no broken
bones in the suicide attempt), and lias not been since rince. It is
hoped that his story ends there.

A MOTHER'S PERSONAL TESTIMONY
BY MRS. MARIAH JUDD
(A Local Mother)
302 DUNSTAN AVENUE — DURHAM, N. C.
It all began when my little Shirley was nine
months old. She took a fever and was taken to Duke
Hospital for an X-Ray, which revealed symptoms that
she had an early touch of Infantile Paralysis. Since that
day she was taken to Duke everyday for a whole year,
and then at least once a week.
1 thought her chances for walking were very slim
until one day in April of 1951, she took her first step
in braces at Duke Hospital. If it hadn’t been for
YOUR contributions I couldn’t have made it, for the
braces were $100 alone, and she had to have various
ather supporters for her little body, and costly treat
ment. My husband is a factory worker.
LOOK AT SHIRLEY TODAY! She is five-years-
old now and with every speck of anxiety, I am hoping
she will enter school this fall, so is her doctor at Duke.
I must say that your contribution to the March of
Dimes have proved very thanlcful and necessary for
many American boys and girls, men and women to get
as far as Shirley is today. Therefore, the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis deserves tlie sup
port of all Americans. Don’t stop at your first con
tribution, but keep giving. Thank youl
