WATCH THAT BOV
By HENBT W. GILLIS
District Scout Executive
Progress In Community Part-
nershlps-.Over 71,000 institu
tions and organizations are now
in partnership witli the Boy
Scouts of America to help boys.
Iliese institutions represent
Amerb»’s greatest ^spiritual,
ciyifi and patriotic recources.
Their Scout units are found in
every type of community and
include boys of every race, re
ligion, and economic back
ground. ^. ..jjl.1
Here in Durham and Durham
County, we have 39 units spon
sored by various institutions
and organizations.
Scouting’s spectacular growth
reflects its wide appeal to boys
and leaders alike. Equally im
portant, its character provides
for institutions to use the Boy
Scout program to reach their
own boys through their own
leadership.^
This pHvilege of using the
program includes use of ,«11 of
Scouting*s resources: t]|(e uni
form and badges, equipment,
,literature and techniques. To
make available character build
ing and citizenship training
camps, the American people
have Invested through Local
Councils more than $50,000,000.
Training and services are pro
vided by the Councils to make
this partnership work.
Over the years the program
has proved to be attractive to,
and effective with, boys in all
types of communities and all
neighborhoods; for example,
over 300 Units for physically
handicapped boys are now in
operation.
A survey has revealed the
value of Scouting in delinquen
cy-prone neighborhoods and
correctional institutions. Lead
ing jurists and Juvenile officials
testify to Scouting’s effective
ness in serving less-chance boys
with worthwhile results in
benefits to them and to the
community.
In out local conununity, Dur
ham and Durham County on
January 1, 1956 we had 771
Cubs, Scouts and Explorers in
the Boy Scout program in 39
Units. Today, July 27, 1956, we
have 723 Cubs and fbiplorers
in the Boy Scout program. A
loss of 48 boys instead of a gain
of 48 or a hundred New boys.
Only through volunteers and
interested parents and sponsor
ing institutions here in our'own
community will more boys grow
up to be worth-while citizens
to do things on their own. Talk
^ good, but, we need to do a
little more work together.
You know we never miss any
thing until it has gone. Hope to
see you again next week. Henry.
Howard’s Olympic Hopes
Up To Vet Weight Lifter
WASHINGTON, D. C.
Howard University’s hopes
for a second gold medal in as
many Olympic Games appear
to rest on the rugged shoulders
of 27-year old Jim Bradford,
a 270 pound veteran of the
fighting in Korea.
Bradford, who is a native of
Washington and a Dunbar High
grad, was ;runner-up to New
York City’s John Davis in the
heavyweight weightlifting com
petition at Helsinki in 1952
when Norvel Lee became the
first' Howard athlete to annex
an Olympic title. Lee, who won
the light heavyweight boxing
ing crown and was later voted
the top boxer at Helsinki, has
retired from active competition
now. This leaves the burden of
carrying the “Blue and White"
at Melbourne to Bradford.
The road to Melbourne is not
without obstacles for Bradford,
however. Davis, who was the
world’s ranking lifter for nearly
a decade, figures to be over the
hill now, but an even more for
midable opponent has appeared
in the form of Paul Anderson,
the 380-pound Georgian who
has broken nearly every record
in the books. Another foe not to
be taken lightly is Norbert
Schemansky, the Detroit police
man who has won the light
heavjjweight national lifting
title on several occasslons
Bradford figures that he will
have to get at least a second-

place at the Olympic trials in
October to make the team. This
is his primary concern now. He
says he’ll cross the Melbourne
“bridge” if and when he gets to
It.
Like many other top athletes,
Bradford entered his field
through the back door, so to
speak. His “flve-by-five” figure
made him .the brunt of his play
mates jokes as a youth. How
ever, it wasn’t until he entered
Dunbar High that Bradford de
cided to do something about it,
to trim down a waistline that
measured 47 Inches at the age
of 15, Bradford decided to take
upweightUfting. The waistline
has not been altered too greatly
in recent years; however, Jim’s
stature as a weightlifter has
risen to that of one of the best
in the vtrorld.
In his daily sojourns to the
Howard Gym Bradford Is train
ing hard to top his three best
lifts to date. His 380 pounds in
the press is 23 pounds short of
Anderson’s world mark; his 320
pound snatch Is still 14 pounds
short of Schemansky’s record;
and he has yet to come within
35 pounds of Anderson’s 436
pound edort in the clean and
jerk.
Bradford doesn't consider any
of these obstacles insurmouu'
table, however. There were ob
stacles when the ' roly-poly
youngster lifted his first weight
back in 1944, ~and even more
obstacles five years ago when
as an Infantry officer he led his
platoon against the North Ko
reans. Maximum effort has be
come the order of the day for
Jim, and it should pay off for
him at California in October
and a Melbourne a month later.
CIAA Cindermen Highly Ranked
In Final Ratings By The NCAB
CIAA track stars from Mor
gan State, North Carolina Col
lege and Winston-Salem an
among leaders in the 100 yard
dash, the 100 meter dash, the
high jump, and the 110 meter
high and 220 yard low hurdles,
according to the.NCAB’s final
1956 ratings.
The three CIAA schools were
represented at the Olympic
trials at Los Angeles last month
and entered competitors in their
respective events. However,
only Calhoun of North Caro
lina College, who qualified for
the trip to Melbourne in the 110
meter high hurdles, will repre
sent the conference at the 16th
Olympiad in Melbotirne, Aus-
trailia, next November.
There were many sparkling
individual performances during
the year with Ken Kave's world
record tying 9.3, wind assisted,
in the 100 yard dash being one
of the outstanding ones.
In final ratings for the 100
yard event, however, Kave an(f
Morgan teammate Sd Waters
are tied for fourth place behind
Mike Agostini of Fresno State,
Leamon King of California and
Dave Sime of Duke in a three-
way bid for first place. The
times credited to the Morgan
duet is the same as that listed
for Bobby Morrow of Abilene
Christian and Bobby Whilden
of Texas.
Kave is one of 12 U.S. stars
credited with 10.4 in the 100
meter dash. 'This is a third place
position shared by, among
others, with Sime, Agostini, and
Rod Richard of the Army. Bob

share first place honors.
Calhoun and Elias Gilbert,
Winston Salem freshmen, are
conference representatives in
the hurdles. With a 13.0 clock'
ing, Calhoun is undisputed king
of the collegians in this event.
The best time listed by the
NCAB, however, is Jack Davis,
of Navy who has a 13.4 up for
recognition. This betters the old
world record of 13.5 held by
Dick Attlesey of Southern Cali
fornia.
Gilbert’s 13.8 for second place
among collegians is shared by
Rafer Jf^son of UCLA, Char
ley Pratt of Army and Milt
Campbell of Navy.
Calhoun’s 22.9 in the 220 low
hurdles gives him a fourth rank
ing position. Duke’s Sime ne
gotiated the low timbers in 22.2
before his tragic injury at San
ger to maintain the leadership in
this event. Calhoun is sharing
the fourth spot with Rice’s Roy
'Thompson.
Two CIAA high jumpers Who
competed in the pre-Olympic
trials are in a four-way tie for
eix^ place. They are Charles
McCullough of NCC and Bob
Barksdale of Morgan. Each is
credited with 6’8” leaps.
