Above ia shown the architect’s idea of a proposed meeting house for the Durham Monthly Meet-
1b( of Friends to be erected in Dnrham on Alexander Avenue between east and west campuses of
Dnke University. The Durham Quakers have already launched a campaicn for funds to erect the
on»-story bnildinf which is expected to cost $20,000. According to Mrs. Susan Gower Smith,
spokesman for the rroup, a contribution for the project has recently been received from former
Fresident Hcrliert Hoover. Among the sponsors of the building project are Durham’s Mayor E. J.

Connolly (5) in the two sets than all of the combined games
of Miss Connolly’s opponents in the previous rounds,
SPORTSBEAT believes that Miss Gibson was far away from
her maximum effort, and conceivably could have upset the
champion. The answer is found in the three control factors
—coaching, competition, attitude.
The contributing factors to the turn of events in the
match—^foot-faults, the grass courts, the high wind, Miss
Connolly’s fine steady game, etc.—are directly related to the
aforementioned control factors. IiiUss Gibson has not had
the coaching which is demanded of cheunpionship play nor
has she devoted concentrated hours to the many phases of
me game which must be mastered by the champion, nor has
she played consistently in the top competition which fa-
cihtates adjustments to playing conditions and improved at
titude. Bud Palmer, one of the TV commentators, stated that
“if Miss Gibson was not so erratic and was more consistent
she would be the world’s best.” With this we agree. Now
tliat she has completed her undergraduate training maybe
sne can give the long hours to practice that the game de
mands, Don Budge, former World’s champion and TV com-
menator during the match, said that “Miss Gibson plays the
only type game which can defeat Miss Connolly, that is, a
powerlul service which will permit assuming offensive po
sition at the net.”
FOOT FAULTS DAMAGING
Now look at the record—Miss Gibson served 12 double
faults and committed five foot faults. She had her service
broken through (lost it) 8 times in the two sets. We believe
the unprecendented number of double faults and foot faults
were due to the effects of the psychological barrier of the
second foot fault call euid the Wgh wind. Play could have
been adjusted to both. There can be few, if any, gifts in
championship play, and a cheunpion must have the tempera
ment to correct her own faults before she can take advantage
of the faults or weaknesses of opponents.
SPORTSBEAT certainly hoj^s that Miss Gibson will
have the time to give to her tennis while she is working at
Lincoln University (Mo.). Certainly sorry that our efforts
to get her to accept the position at Prairie View were fruit
less. The officials there had assured us that she could con
tinue her development in tennis.
The very best of luck to Miss Althea Gibson in her quest
for national honors.

The big obstacle to the possi

that he has sufficiently rewarded

Appointment of Judge Parker
to the high court would not

Judge Parker has already sat in
n1»n Mrg P H .TnrHan, Pnrtii- l ludgement On the original case
as one member of a three judge
panel which heard the Claren
don County, South Carolina
have pointed out £hat John Fos
ter Dulles, who has proved an
unpopular secretary of state,
may be given the nod for the
vacancy and that Dewey may be
moved in as secretary.'Such a
manuever would not conflict
with Dewey’s political ambitions.
Appointment of either would
come as cold comfort to pro
segregationists, since both have
openly taken strong equal rights
stands.
The names of Judge William
H. Hastie and Thurgood Mar
shall have ^Iso been mentioned
in connection with the vacancy.
It is reported that some Eisen
hower advisers have declared
that if he makes this history-
making step, the Republic Party
could be assured of solid Negro
support for years to comee.
Hastie has had a successful ca
reer in public office and Mar
shall has experienced outstand
ing success as a civil rights law
yer.
It is believed that whoever is
appointed to fill the vacancy
will soon be shifted to Chief
Justice. It appears certain that
a Republican will be named for
the vacancy and no one expects
Eisenhower to miss this oppor
tunity of making a Republican
Chief Justice.

this
situa.tion would be for him, if
appointed, to abstain from parti
cipating in a ruling. Chief
speculation for the vacancy,
however, has centered on two
Republican stalwarts, New
York’s Governor Thomas Dewey
and Governor Earl Warren of
California.
Gov. Warren may have an ad
vantage over Dewey because he
would be the first far western
states representative on the
bench. The western most state
now represented on the court is
Indiana, home of Justice Sher
man Minton. In addition, it is
not certain that Dewey has giv
en up his presidential aspirations
and that he would be amenable
to a court appointment.
