SPOeiSBEAT By JL T. WALKER (Editor’s Note: Leroy T. Walker, “Sportsbeat” columnist for the TIMERS, is away in Texas where he has spent some weeks this summer at Prarie View. This week, another in a series of guest columnists filled in for Walker. The following was written by Alex Rivera of the COURIER.) BY ALEX RIVERA Dear Leroy: ^ Your B. W. and the children returned to these parts last week and she gave me your message to guest column your space. You know there is nothing I’d rather do if I had the time, but I am up to my ears in work which I must complete before taking a little trip to the Motor jCity with my B. W. Boy, I’m real sorry that I do not have the time b^ause things have really been happening in the old burg since you snuck out. According to the best grapevine info from “Pine Ridge,” they haven’t been able to find anyone to fill your number eleven brogues. This should balloon your ego to the busting point. I guess you heard that Eddie Jackson was slated to come but after accepting here he was made a bet ter offer by Delaware, I was told that he was offered a one year contract here. (Who has a contract for more than one year?) LEFT-HANDED INVITATION Benjamin Franklin Whaley breezed in from Indiana all smiles and a Masters degree. I understand that Whaley is asking for a teaching post. Speaking of degrees, Ray Thomp son had his doctorate three months before anybody knew it. Seems that he told his wife and she told her neighbor and the news travelled via the clothesline until it got to Charlie Ray’s office. The biggest news concerning sports since you left was NCC’s initial refusal to entertain the CIAA Coaches and Officials Rules Interpretation Conference. I never have heard the reason given, I bet it would have been a pip. I was in formed of this in Virginia by some angry members of the CIAA, who were calling some of yaur associates a bunch of “snooty so and sos,” and threatening to move the Basketball Tournament if the rules interpretation conference was not welcomed at NCC. Dr. W. H. Robinson, one of the officers of the CIAA, and Gregg Newton. NCC AD, got busy and extended the left hand of fellowship to the association but not until after plans had been made and programs printed to have the meet at Hillside High School. Wouldn’t that have been nice grist for my little Underwood? THE JAMES RIDE NO MORE Not since the era of the James brothers, Frank and Jesse, has the name “James” been so prominantly bantered about from poll hall to breakfast nook as it has in the past few weeks. As the wiseacres tell it, Sidney James put his key in the lock on the door of the Bull City Drug Store one morn ing only to find that it didn’t fit. I am told that on closer inspection he found Dr. “Yip” Parker and Dr. York Garrett inside taking inventory. This, I am told, is the first inkling Sidney had that the family business had been sold. The store is still closed but I understand that the James are negotiating to get it back. Don’t you fellow Shriners have some sort of distress signal? Speaking of Shriners, Frank Burnett left this week to attend the national convention out in Denver, where he will represent the Durham temple. Frank Brower is being sued for $25,000 by a white woman who was injured in an auto mobile accident. Frank’s car was driven at the time by an other who is alleged not to have had a driver’s permit.... BLOOD FROM A TURNIP Have you ever heard of a bleeding turnip? Crow Riddick i)ecame the father of a baby girl just be fore the Guardsmen Week-end in Norfolk and unconfirmed rumors persist that his ex, who married I)r. Eugene “Mouse’^ Hodges, is expecting. The Rays, Charles and Eva, are ex pecting their second before the Ides of March. The fabulous Stanbacks are in Chicago attending the convention of the American Photographic Association and living in the Conrad Hilton Hotel, no less. A North Carolina chapter of the Guardsmen, Inc., was chartered at the annual Norfolk Week-end fun festival. We didn’t make it this time and I am not too sure of aU the mem bers. I’m sorry I can’t report on the football outlook for the Eagles but Wendell Smith and Wyonella were here and he got an interview with Herman which you probably saw in the COURIER. « INNOCENTS ABROAD Seems that everybody on NCC’s faculty is either coming from or going abroad. Marion Cordice Parham left earlier this summer to join her husband in Japan; Dr. Ruth Horry will leave soon for Paris; Miss Gladys Cooper is scheduled to leave in September for Europe, and Dr. Bill Brown severed his connections with the college to do a research piece in the Virgin Islands for the Ford Foundation. Mrs.Wuth Ed wards is touring Mexico after a visiting professorship at South Carolina State College. Haven’t heard much on the sports front except that Clar ence “Big House” Gaines has recruited an entire ne^y basket ball team for the WSTC Rams, none of whom are under six feet. St. Augustine is so pleased with their cagers that Presi* dent Harold Trigg has decided to break ground for a new gyiynasium any minute. There is something stirring among the college presidents of the CIAA but I haven’t gotten to the bottom of it yet. You know they’ve been wanting to run the organization for some time. Boy, that would be the end wouldn’t it? Speaking of the end, I have to bring this letter to a close now. So sorry I could not do the column that you requested but will try to pinch hit for you another time. Sincerely, ALEX Wake Fanners Plan Adequate Hay And Grain Crops For '54 RALEIGH ^ Officers and directors of North Carolina’s 68 artificial breeding assocuitions have set aside this week (Aug. 17-22) as Artlflelal Breeding Promotion Week. If you’re a dairy farmer who Isn’t already using the services of one of the state’s associations, you’re likely to be contacted this week by a neighbor who Is completely sold on the use of semen from "the best bulls In the world.” One of the highliglita of the week-long promotion eam- paign Is the all-day program tomorrow at North Carolina’s artificial breeding stud farm, the American Breeden Ser vice, Asheville. Many of the breeding associations over the state have chartered bnases and plan to send representa tives. But the event Is open to any Interested persons and of ficials of the stnd have extend ed an Invitation to the general pnblle. Principal speaker at the event will be Dr. Vic Rice, head of the department of animal Industry (Please turn to Page Eight) This picture shows coach Harry (Choke) Edmonds, left, and George W.

Now, two years later, Leonard Shadding, second from left, and William Hollings worth, second from right, are coming back to NCC after two years service with the U. S. Army in Germany where both piled up enviable records on ser vice ball clubs. Shadding, like Hollingsworth, a native of Goldsboro, N. C., is virtually certain to regain his starting post at offensive guard with the NCC eleven, and Hollingsworth, at this time, “seems to have it made’’ for a berth at end. NCC President Alfonso Elder, treme left, is looking pleased to have the former Gi's return to their classroom activities. The two lads are expected to join some 30 odd other athletes when the Eagles begin practice their O’Kelley Field on Sept. 1.

C.—Seemingly convinced that the Yankees just aren’t going to bring up contro versial Vic Power, their ace Negro slugger now buried in the Yankee farm system at Kansas City, four major league teams have already scouted for Power with the hope of finally “land ing him. The four clubs interested are the Washington Senators, Cinci nnati Redlegs, the Milwaukee Braves plus the Chicago White Sox. They feel that the Yankees (Please turn to Page Eight) A. S. "Jake” Gaither is head coach of the Florida A. and Af. College football team and has compiled one of the best records in the country.

The show is two hours and forty-five minutes long featuring a supporting cast of the top in comedy and dance acts. The story of Lester Young's musical career reads like the story about the man in sev«i league boots. Young comes from the spiritual home of modem jazz, having been bom in New Orleans. He broke into the mu sical field at the age of ten playing drums in his father’s carnival band at Minneapolis, where the family had moved. He toured the country behind the drums for five years and then at the age of fifteen switched to playing the alto sax. Lucky Strikes by JOE BLACK Baseball players have a language all their own.
