,. The competition for Negro liigh school athletes is becoming
iH^rcMiag keener cach year. Xo Ioniser is the promising ath-
iMe 4iatincd for stardom in a predoininantely Negro ichool.
bilt rftther he -has an op}>ortunity to pursue his selected career
•t>a achool that bids the highest for his service.
] Ten achools. along with the Ivy League, Big Eight and
CoBst tchools are extending their scouting parties to
any area where th^- hear of promising talent. This search has
carried them into the South, Southeast and Southwest.
Here in the Carolinas the recent recruiting efforts of Notre
Dame, lnliana, Mttinesota, New York University and others
have reached high peaks.- One boy in the western part of the
statf baa made more airplane trips than the average p«rson
covrs in a lifetime. His trips have been made to campuaes to
spemt \veek ends to Survfey the college arid its facilities and
to hear the story about their great university.
What h»a caused this search for talent in thi» area? One
reason ia pa^ performances of players who have made a suc
cess on the (»mpuses of schools, and they have aroused the
curiosity of their coaching colleagues who in turn have in
structed their scouts to get the best in this area ut any cost.
This recent surge by these schools can also be attributed
to the parformances of J. C Caroline, of Booker Washington
in G)lumbia, South Carolina, who performed brilliantly for
Illinois University. Caroline made All-American two years
in a row at Illinois and his actions caused Iowa to go into
West Virginia and get Bob Jeter and Willie Fleming, Indiana
to come into North Carolina and get Walter Bellamy, and
Cedric S\iggs and Notre Dame to get Tom Hawkins from Win
ston-Salem. Further ^outh Sid Williams, great quarterback
from Wisconsin in 1958, came from Little Rock, Arkansas, so
did Jim Pace of University of Michigan.
WTien a coach is hired to coach in big time football, he is
usuidly handed a bankroll and they say to him, “win big in
threi! years.” His primary job in the first year is to recruit
the best talent available. In the south these coaches have dis>
covered virgin territory. .Big universities’m the south cannot
recruit them because of the color bar and this makes it even
better since Negro colleges cannot even touch the offers made,
by white schools. For esrampl^; Once tuition, room and iioard
w'as sufficient to entice' an athlete to come to a Negro school,
.bat now he's offered plane rides, tuition, room and board, a
job and $75 month for laundry and incidentals, plus a scholar
ship to graduate school or medical school if Jie so desires.
Athletes in this area are not used to these types of enticements
and naturally when they get an offer hke this they have no
other choice but to jump on the bandwagon and ride on to
During the coming season more than ever before high school
contests will be witnessed by white scouts waiting to get
grip on the best ‘talent available at any cost,
August 1st is the deadline for persons interested in attend
ing the Pi«dmont Board of Officials newcomer* clinic sched
uled for North Carolina College in Mid-August. If you haven’t
obtained your application form contact Frank Burnett or Bob

Royals Draft
N. C. College's
Carl Bell
Cincinnati Royals announced last
Thursday that they have signed
Carlton "Ding Dong” Bell, ex N.
C. College eager, to a 1960-61 con
tract.
Bell, 6-7 forward-center, waa
recommended highly to the Royals
on. the basis of scrimmage sessions
against Walter Dukes, Detroit Pi*
ton star, and Sam “Sad Sam”
Jones, his teammate at NCC, now
performing with the Boston Cel
tics.
During his senior year Bell
averaged over 24 rebounds a game
and over a four year period aver
aged 17 rebounds per game.
His high came against Winston-
Salem Teachers College when he
plucked 34 balls from the boards
in ,19S8. The Royals were also im
pressed by his IS point per gatt)e
scoring average over a four year
period,
Cincy officials hope Bell can give
them rebounding strength to go
with Jack Twyman and Oscar “Big
O” Robertson.
Presently Bell is laboring as a
Stevedore in Houston, Texas,
where he makes his home with
bis wife and son Carlton Bell, Jr.,
born in early Janliary.

Johnson a
to keep threi^&^er ATa’ junic^s
dht of a USl^-sanctkuiea tour
nament for lUnd 13 year olds
after he rec^Md a report .that
violence mig^t, e^upt if Negro
player* complied in the tourna
ment at Chatl^nooga, Tenn.
Dr. John*(^ declined ta dii-
cto*o if ho pjjapnod to pratant a
formal protest t9 tha USLTA in
either of th^ ^^^{dent*.
According tq^^phnson, here’s the
way events shaped up which led
to ommiaaion of ATA juniors from
the Ohio tour|tament;
Ashe, the (jfass brothers and
Dr. Johnson set otit for Columbus,
Ohio, late Suhday after finishing
play in the 3Sth annual Mall Dis
trict of Columbia Open champion
ships.
Halted at Hagerstown, Md. by
> car trouble, thay telephoned a
ro4uo*t to tournamant director
Dr. Howard Z. Drodgo for delay
ing thoir matcha*. *
' Dr. Johnson said he was “en
couragingly assured” by Dredge
that the matches would be re
scheduled for 8 a.m. Tuesday if
they could get to the Wittenburg
campus by 9 p.m. Monday.
When they arrived in Spring
field, •Johnson reported, they dis
covered that an evening rain had
forced postponement until Tues
day morning .of all Monday after
noon matches,
Besides ~A®i juniors with Dr.
Johnson, three other players. Bill
Leonora, Frank Froeling and Clark
Graebner, h^d been defaulted be-1
cause they r^orted to the Witten
burg campus jate.
All wore'rfinstated, how*var,
but A*ho,‘ acitording to Johnson.
Johnson s^id director Dredge’s
explanation pf Jthe failure to re
instate Ashe alopg with the others
was that th^)|'e were not enough
courts availajble to accommodate
A^he. ,
The Glass.^j^rothers, who were
also defaulted, in the single.s, were
forced to play against highly
ranked doubles team, Johnson
said, because of another set of
I strange maneuvering.
The doubla* draw had boon
poslod anJ f|*varal matches play
ed, the AT4|k mantor explained.
bafera I!' was dlacovorod thaf tha
Glass team had net been entorad.
After a strong protest from
Johuaon, the Qlasa boys were
placed in a bye slot'and lost to,
the highly ranked Kanthrow-Car-
ter doubles combination, ft-8, 6-3.
The doclalon to pass up tho II
and 13 year old* iMrnamont at
Chattanooga was linado by John
son, ho said, aflor fears of vio-
larica over tha playing of No-
groos and white* togothar had
bean aaxprossad^^ him.
The Glass brothers, and Len-
ward SimiMon, of Wilmington, had
been accepted to play in the tour
nament.
But Johnson reported that a
white observer, whom he did not
identify confided to him after
Tenneessee official* refused to
answer inquirie* about accommo
dations for the ATA players, that
local authorities were fearful that
“outaidors passing the court* and
seeing Negroes playing against
whites would make trouble.”
This unidentified observer was
quoted a* *aying ha didn't think
it "worth tho danger to expo*o
an 11 or 13 year old kid."
Both the Western USLTA jun
iors and the Chatanooga tourna
ments was scheduled for the same
week, according to Dr. Johnson.
In the Washington. D. C.'Mall
tournament, Ashe defeated veteran
George Stewart, six times ATA
singles champ.
Other results from the D. C.
Tournament Were as follows;
Mimi Kannarck defeated Avilia
Mitchell, 6-2; 6-2, in the women’s
singles; Carolyn Williams, defeat
