THE 1941 LIDN

THE SENIOR CLASS

Lincoln University Pennsylvania

In the Cycle of Time there are but three spans.

From one end rolls away Yesterday: an infinite recession lost to us

except in man-made monuments, and as a state of mind which names

it good or ill; from the other end comes in Tomorrow: an unfathomable

mystery, in spite of solemn claims to the contrary; and in the middle

runs Today: man's only opportunity of keeping his rendezvous with

Destiny.

That destiny we can no more chain irrevocably to the anchor of the

first span—which is history, than we can wager our souls upon the

infallibility of the last, which is the future. For, if our past be glorious,

we cannot therefore rest our case upon it; and, if it be dismal, we

cannot draw greatness therefrom. As for the future, it is joined to Now,

and yet, outward from the very point of union, is unknown, unseen,

unheard, unfelt, in spite of star-gazing and crystals and prisms.

Thus, the past is practically dead, the future still unborn; with the

present alone, alive; and thought and action its sole linkage with both

the past and future.

Therefore, in this matter we prove our intelligence and education, not

by making a fetish out of yesterday, but only by laying imperishable

foundations for a beneficent tomorrow upon the actualities of a vital

today.

DEDICA

LAST JUNE, Lincoln University lost one who, for twenty

years, had devoted himself to the classroom instruction,

to the activities, to the library, and to the religious life

of Lincoln University. The retirement of Professor Robert

M. Labaree was felt keenly in all these spheres, as well as in

the hearts of all who knew and were influenced by him.

His broad point of view and tolerant modern attitudes en-

deared him to the student body, but even more endearing

was his real and active interest in the students and student

groups. His clarity and sincerity of purpose were at all times

evident, and he never failed to stand firmly for his idea of

right in campus affairs.

His ceaseless activity and untiring effort were amazing for

his years. His keen insight and fertile mind were equally

amazing, and his understanding of students and campus prob-

lems was gratifying. Throughout his career here, he was

known for a lack of malice and prejudice not always found

in men of his position.

For all these things and many more, we, the members of the

Class of 1941, feel indebted to him. Especially is this true since

we are one of the last classes to have had the privilege of

his beneficial influence. In an effort to show something of the

gratitude and admiration which we hold for him, we do dedi-

cate this, the 1941 Lion, to Professor Robert M. Labaree.

JUNIOR CLASS By their silence and precise action the Juniors have given notice that they are

ready and prepared to replace the outgoing Senior Class. While expressing their sorrow to see the departure of the Class of "41", they are quite confident that they can amply refill all the vacancies.

With the realization that they have passed the half way mark, and are about to begin the last lap of their college career, these determined sons of Lincoln have set as their goal—achievement; for themselves and for Alma Mater.

Only one-third of their original number is left, as they conclude their third year of study at Lincoln. These ;have not lost the vision of graduation — and of service.

Characteristic of all ex-freshmen, the Sophomores pride themselves with more wisdom than their breadth of experience warrants. With a smattering of knowledge, they stand perplexed at all the wrongness in the world; intolerant because the wisdom of the "worldings" is so inferior to their own.

Excited by the position of dominance which they hold over the "canines"—with chest expanded—they parade themselves as the "lords" of the institution. With only two-thirds of their original strength they, by position, are able to rule the "preps."

SDPHOMORE CLASS

FRESHMAN CLASS Typical of all newcomers to Lincoln, this year's crop is ambitious. Coming from

almost every state on the east coast and the midwest, they represent, perhaps, as many divergent points of interest. Following the trend of recent years, a large pro-portion of the Class hails from New York State and Pennsylvania. The entire aggre-gation numbers approximately 125 students.

Maturing rapidly, after the hectic days of adjustment, these youngsters look forward, with anxiety, toward the responsibilities and privileges which shall be theirs at the end of their first year; taking firm hold on the mythical "line of Pi."

Though this class entered Lincoln while the dreadful sound of declared war still echoed 'round the world, their spirit of idealism has not been quenched. They are hopeful and determined.

Since 1916 representative student government hcs been an institution at Lincoln University.

The Council, elected by the student body, assumes the responsibility for the maintenance of a high standard of cooperative life on the campus; and serves as the agency through which crystallized student opinion is conveyed to the faculty.

Emphasizing campus democracy and encouraging student participation in campus government in preparation for effective adjustment in the world beyond the confines of the university, the Council has vigorously stimulated student interest.

With a keen sense of its potential importance to the student body, a serious effort has been made to make this student organ the vital vehicle of government and expression it should be.

Four years ol undergraduate training prepared these men well for the job of editing this LION.

The excellent organizational ability of the editor, James K. Baker, insured effi-cient gathering of the material necessary for the publication. An earnest attempt has been made to improve the literary and physical features of the book. The inclusion of informal snapshots, familiar campus scenes, and extra curricula groups makes this issue, in the true sense of the word, a representative student publication.

To the members of the staff and the student organizations who cooperated, unstintingly, a deserving word of credit is due. The staff wishes, also, to express its appreciation for the advice and assistance of the University Business Manager, Mr. George A. Birchard.

THE L I N C O L N I A N

After a two year moratorium—prior to our arrival to Lincoln—publication of the Lincolnian was resumed in the fall of 1937. A few of the men on the present staff, including the editor, Jesse Gloster, were instrumental in bringing the newspaper back to student life.

Without question, this year's Lincolnian has been the finest of our four years. Courageous crusading, regularity, and a high standard of journalistic achievement has characterized the work of this staff.

THE LIBRARY S T A F F

Chasing, replacing, casing, and embracing books are the duties of these drafted sons of erudition. Through a system of promotions, it is possible for a student to move from a common shelf clerk to the more difficult phases of library organization. Each assistant is given a course in library science as a prerequisite to employment.

The Society is composed of upper classmen who have maintained en average of 1.8 in 30 hours of natural science—and a general third group cumulative average in all other subjects taken.

THE P H I L O S O P H Y C L U B

Catching the spirit of speculative thinking characterized by the ancient sagas these searchers for truth and understanding meet monthly to discuss the heavy side of men and things.

The members prepare discourses, often creative in nature, which they present at their regular meetings. Membership is restricted to philosophy majors. Dean George S. Johnson is the faculty sponsor of the group.

As a result of outstanding achievement in an academic field or prominence on the athletic field, these sixteen men hold positions as faculty aids in the several departments.

The nature of their work varies. While some are busied with correcting papers or doing routine work such as passing out or collecting assigned work and examinations, others are leading freshmen in the required program of physical education.

It could just as easily be called the Wilmington Club. Proud of the fact that they are from the county made famous by Mr. Dupont, they take every occasion to remind their fellow students of the fact that Delaware has as many senators in Congress as New York.

During the past year a scholarship dance was given by the "Delawarians."

THE B A N D

Although often referred to as the "Rabble Band," these swingsters also play for some of the campus dances; and also include in their schedule engagements off the campus.

In the realm of swing they rate only a trifle below the best in the business. During discouraging moments of a gridiron fiasco—or during the half—the Band can always be depended upon to penetrate the spectators with their spirited rhythm.

Organized by the members of Beta Kappa Chi in March, 1940, in the interest of the science majors in the University, it includes in its membership ell science majors who are interested in scientific investigation. At the bi-monthly meeting, lecturers are invited to speak on some pertinent scientific subject.

THE N E W Y O R K C L U B

Organized in our "prep" year, the New Yorkers have marched as a united band of devout "state boys." An Annual Scholarship Dance is their yearly emphasis. A serious effort is also made to develop leadership ability and encourage participation in the extra curricular activities of the University. They have contributed much to the success of the Class of "41".

PHI K A P P A E P S I L O N

This is an honorary scholarship and research fraternity. Any man in the college who, at the end of seven semesters, has maintained a general average of 1.70, is eligible for membership.

The organization offers an incentive for excellence in classroom performance, and serves as a source of inspiration and achievement to the men who merit its recognition.

THE V A R S I T Y C L U B

An effective combination of brain and brawn—to the extent of winning a Varsity "L"—is the token of admission to this club.

The Varsity Club usually sponsors the Annual Homecoming Dance. During the year 1939-40, the club used its funds to award Varsity Sweaters to the Lincoln football team that broke the winning streak of the Morgcn "Bears."

During its twenty-nine years of existence on the campus, Nu Chapter has made achievement its goal and its boast,

In memory of one of its deceased brothers, Theodore Milton Seldon, each year the Chapter awards a gold medal to that member of the Freshman Class receiving the highest scholastic average. To bring the problem of dis-franchisement and the potential power of the Negro ballot to the attention of the student body, Nu Chapter conducts its annual weekly emphasis, "A Voteless People Is a Hopeless People."

The Annual Spring Dance of the "Apes" attracts the opposite sex from far and near; it numbers among the social favorites. The Chapter bcsketball team is a staunch competitor in the annual inter-fraternal basketball tournament.

"We'll cherish thy precepts . . . thy honor shall be raised . . . "

Beta Chapter, during the twenty-six years of its existence on the campus, has made itself an integral part of Lincoln life.

In its national "Negro Achievement Week" celebration, Beta, each year, reminds the members of the campus community of the extent to which the Negro has contributed to American life. To encourage a high standard of performance in academic endeavor, the Chapter awards a medal each year, in memory of one of its illustrious brothers, Alfred Walter Walker, to the member of the Junior class who has acquired the highest scholastic average for the current year.

The "Q's" give an Annual Prom which has no peer in prominence on the University social roster. Their basketball team is always a high ranker in the campus inter-fraternity league.

The establishment of Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi has proved to be a very wholesome addition to campus life.

Each year Epsilon Chapter sponsors a Freshman Oratorical Contest. A silver loving cup is presented to the winner of the first prize; a gold medal is awarded to the winner of the second prize. By this project Kappa awakens the Freshmen, early in their college career, to the necessity and advantage of excellence in expression from the public platform. National Guide Right Week serves to remind students of the avenues of vocational occupation open to Negroes, and encourages thorough preparation for the several vocations.

The Annual Sweetheart Prom, given by the "Cats" is always a "topper." For two successive years Epsilon Chapter has gained dominance in the inter-fraternal basketball league.

Since 1912, the date of its founding, Mu Chapter has maintained a com-mendable record on the campus of Lincoln University.

With a keen interest in "Bigger and Better Negro Business," Sigma has sponsored — by a series of Chapel services — its very informing weekly emphasis on the development of Negro Business. In addition, this year, Mu Chapter conducted a Freshman Essay Contest, in memory of their brother, James Weldon Johnson; awarding a prize to the author of the most acceptable piece of work.

In intra-mural athletics, Mu Chapter's basketball team gave good account of itself during the current season. The Annual Dance is always one of the highlights of the University social calendar.

O C T O B E R 12 — W E S T V A . S T A T E vs. L I N C O L N

Invading the lair of the Lincoln Lion for the first time in many years, the Yellow Jackets of West Va. State were repulsed by a 10-0 score.

Most of the first half was a stalemate with neither team gaining any appreciable yardage. Pleasant of West Va. and Hunter of Lincoln engaged in a punting duel with the Yellow Jacket back having much the better of it.

Seemingly stymied in the second quarter, the Lions completed a beautiful 30 yard pass from Baker to Shade and advanced deep in enemy territory. The State team was completely surprised when "Milt" Pearcey place kicked from the 15 yard line to score the first tally of the game. The Yellow Jackets, aroused by the sudden turn in the game, stormed back led by Burris, fleet-footed halfback. This attack bogged down in a hurry when the fighting Lincoln line, led by Captain Murray, piled up play after play and the C a p t a i n Frank Murray

Orange and Blue recovered the ball. The final half was pretty much a repetition of the first quarter until late in the final stanza when

brilliant runs by Baker, Hunter, and Marshall Groce, elusive freshman back, brought the ball to the enemy 3 yard line. Here Bill Hunter plunged over for the score. As usual the reliable Pearcy con-verted. The Yellow Jackets unsuccessfully attempted a series of passes but the scoring for the afternoon had already been completed.

O C T O B E R 1 9 — M O R G A N vs. L I N C O L N

Completely subduing the fighting Lincoln Lions, the Bears of Morgan rolled over the Orange and Blue on the long end of a 31-7 score at Wilmington, Delaware.

The first quarter was a see-saw affair in which punt-ing played the main role. However, in the second quarter the dormant Bear power came to life as Kee and Mosby alternatingly slashed at the Lincoln Lion, occasionally interspersing a flat pass with deadly effect. Reaching the four yard marker, Morgan tallied as "Unk" Campbell plunged over and then added the extra point.

Not in the least dismayed by this score, the Orange and Blue line piled up play after play as Morgan attempted to tally again. Ralph Oves, burly Soph center, stole the ball from Mosby on his own sixteen and snaked along the sidelines to the Morgan 35. How-ever, Cain intercepted a Lincoln pass and Kee then heaved a long pass to Burdnell who outdistanced all pursuers to score for Morgan.

Unleashing all its power, the mighty Bears turned the game into a rout, scoring twice on runs by Burdnell and Brickley.

Determined not to be white washed, the Lions, sparked by Paul Williams, began a belated goal-ward trek. Massey crossed over on a 25 yard pass for Lincoln's first score. On an attempted place-ment by Massey, the ball was blocked and "Tiger" Jones scooped it up and raced across the goal as the gun sounded.

Still smarting from the Morgan setback of the previ-ous week, the fighting Lincoln Lions had a field day at the expense of Cheyney's "boys in blue," running up a score of 33-0.

Starting a bit sluggishly, it was late in the first quarter before the Orange and Blue power asserted itself. Recovering the ball from Cheyney in Lion terri-tory, Lincoln, led by Bill Hunter, crossed the Wolves' goal in a series of line plunges. The extra point was missed. On a sleeper pass to Hunter, who lateralled to "Philo" Lee, the Lions again scored. Again the extra point was missed.

In the second quarter, Cheyney, led by Pride, rugged quarterback, and Smith, left end, assumed the offensive only to have Bill Hunter, brilliant Lion back, intercept a pass and race 85 yards for a touchdown. Pearcy's attempted conversion was blocked but he recovered and went over for the score.

On successive runs by Glover and Chamberlain, Lincoln marched to Cheyney's "40" only to receive a 15 yard penalty. Massey then kicked to Cheyney's 21. However, Pride then quick-kicked back into Orange and Blue territory. Lincoln then opened a sustained drive and moved down to Cheyney's 2, where Benny King crashed over. An attempted conversion by Engs failed.

Late in the fourth period Lincoln again tallied as "Tiger" Jones heaved a long pass to Cheyney's one foot line. Then Russ Beverly went over on an end around. Pearcy converted to make it 33-0.

N O V E M B E R 2 — H A M P T O N vs. L I N C O L N

Playing on a wind-swept field before a large home-coming crowd, the Lincoln Lions crushed the Hampton Pirates 14-0 on Rendall Field.

Bill Hunter, pile driving Lion fullback, indicated what was to come by taking the opening kick-off on his own goal line and sprinting seventy yards before being pulled down by the Hampton safety man. A minute later, Hunter again broke loose on a delayed buck and carried the oval down to the Hampton 9. However, the attack bogged down when Engs fumbled on an at-tempted end sweep and the Pirates recovered. McGee, Hampton's fullback, punted out from his end zone as the quarter ended.

Starting on their own twenty yard marker, the Lions again struck as Bill Hunter crashed over tackle and cut toward the sidelines, aided by the vicious blocking of Bill Burnett. As the Hampton safety man moved in for the tackle Hunter lateralled to Bobby Engs who scampered the remaining distance unmolested. Pearcy kicked the extra point.

In the fourth period, Hunter took a pass on his own forty from Engs and ran to the enemy twenty-five. Engs then rifled a short pass to Russ Beverly for a five yard gain. Fading again, Engs whipped another pass to Beverly who evaded two tacklers and went over standing up. Engs then converted to make the count 14-0.

Hampton, belatedly aroused, attempted to score on a series of passes but Ralph Oves, Lion center, intercepted one and dashed the hopes of the Tidewater boys in the final seconds of play.

N O V E M B E R 9 — L INCOLN vs. U N I O N

Exhibiting a powerful and diversified offense and a rugged defense, Manny Rivero's band of fighting grid-ders notched a decisive 15-9 victory at the expense of Virginia Union's Panthers on Hovey field, Richmond, Virginia.

Early in the first period, Freddie Cooper, Union's great back, was seriously injured. With Cooper's exit, the Panthers' attack became nil and Lincoln, led by Bill Hunter, marched to Union's ten yard line. Here the attack lost its potency and Union took over.

Gaining possession of the ball near the end of the first half, Lincoln again threatened to score, as Baker, alternated running and pcssing, brought the ball to Union's 24. Here the Lions were apparently stymied again but Pearcy booted a perfect placement.

Just before the half ended, the Orange and Blue gained possession of the ball and scored again as Jim Baker threw three short passes from midfield and Chamberlain added a bit of adroit ball carrying. B o b b y £ n g s

Pearcy's placement was blocked and the score stood 9-0 as the half ended.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lions scored again when a Union pass was intercepted. Bob Shade snagged one of Hunter's aerials and side stepped his way into the end zone.

Smarting under this attack, the now enraged Panther marched to Lincoln's 6, but the Lion forward wall held for four downs. Bill Hunter's attempted kick was blocked and converted into a safety by Union. A few minutes later Glover lofted a long aerial to register Union's last tally and the score stood 15-9.

NOVEMBER 21—LINCOLN vs. HOWARD

After an uneventful first quarter, the oldest Negro collegiate football rivalry resolved into a history-mak-ing rout. Before the shadows of dusk had gathered over Griffith Stadium and a brilliant Howard home-coming pageant, the Lions were resting on the pleas-ing end of the now classical score of 63-0.

In spite of Bill Hunter's 40 yard sprint on the first play from scrimmage, Lincoln was unable to force Howard to give ground deep in Bison territory. At the beginning of the second period, however, Rivero's stalwarts began to set the tempo for the afternoon's engagement. Jim Baker's pass to "Silent" Scott was good to the Blue and White 16, from whence Baker stepped over tackle for the first of nine touchdowns.

Coming right back, Lincoln marched to Howard's 15 yard line where Hunter grabbed Baker's running pass and scored. Milt Pearcy added his second extra point and kept on adding them until he had notched im o r s e y

eight consecutive points after touchdowns. In the second half, the hardest fighting team in the conference definitely established its superior-

ity over Harry Payne's Hilltoppers. Scoring almost at will, the Lions sent the score into large figures. In rapid succession, Burnett, Engs, Shade, Hunter, King, Beverly, and Costa accounted for six-pointers.

' B A S K E T B A L L The powerful Lincoln Lions of 1940 began the basketball season of 1940-41 without the services of

Captain Perry Honey '40, by dropping two games in two days to the C. I. A. A. champions of 1940, Virginia Union University. Playing on December 6 and December 7 in Philadelphia and Atlantic City, respectively, the Lions and Panthers clawed each other up considerably with the outcome being doubtful in both games until the last few minutes. Minus the great Wiley "Soupy" Campbell, who was ineligible, the Panthers left no doubt as to who the C. I. A. A. favorite should be as they played in mid-season form with Clyde Davis ably filling Campbell's shoes. In these games the Lions gave evidence of what was to come by functioning erratically, only at times flashing the brilliance of last year's aggregation.

Opening the C. I. A. A. schedule at Virginia State on Janu-ary 13, Lincoln dropped a tingling thriller to the Trojans by a 37-36 count. Coach Rivero was still searching for a man to replace Honey and injected frequent substitutions into the game for that purpose. On January 17, the Lions traveled to Philadelphia where Morgan trounced them 42-35.

On February 1, the Lions began their annual Southern jaunt by invading Washington, D. C., where they were victorious over Howard by a count of 35-28. On February 3, at Charlotte, North Carolina, the Lions were soundly trounced by the Golden Bulls of Johnson C. Smith University as Bill Oliver and Bucky Walker had a field night. The final score was 54-37. The next night at A. & T., Lincoln again lost a heart breaker 34-32. Smarting under this defeat the Lions journeyed to Raleigh where they romped over the hapless quintet of St. Augustine 50-40.

On February 12, the Lions played their annual game in Orange, N. J., losing again to Johnson C. Smith, 53-50.

In Philadelphia, on February 14, the Lions thrashed the "Wizard of Oz" quintet from A. & T. as Young had an "on" night with Hunter giving able assistance. With the A. & T. victory under their belts, the Lions launched on a winning streak beating Virginia State, Johnson C. Smith, and Howard the week of February 17. Coach Rivero's numerous experi-ments had uncovered a winning combination composed of Williams and Wareham at forwards, Young at center, and Shorter and Hunter at guards.

* i C a p t . J e s s e G l o s t e r

Playing the last of five games in a week, the exhausted Lions lost to Washington Recreation in Washington by a 42-35 count. The week of February 21, the Orange and Blue won three games beating Bluefield, Cheyney, and Morgan but resumed their losing ways at Hampton, losing to the Pirates by a 44-42 count. As if to prove why their season's record was mediocre the Lions then dropped two games to Luken's Steel of Coatesville end to Cheyney in an amazing upset.

Finally, the team did not play the brand of ball it was capable of. On paper we had a potential championship unit but Perry Honey's graduation proved to be more damaging than it was thought it might be. Jesse Gloster never played up to the brilliant standard of his past years and Ernie Young, although ranking second to Bill Hunter in total points scored, suffered a 55 per cent decrease. To offset this "Babe" Shorter and "Fish" Williams played consistently good ball as did "Flash" Wareham. However, the mainstay of the team was Bill Hunter who was high scorer with 165 points followed closely by Young and Wareham who scored 163 and 159, respectively. Jack Warrick and Costa played brilliantly at times but were too erratic, probably from lack of experience.

The team will lose only Shorter from the first team and Captain Jesse Gloster and Engs by graduation.

F U T I L I T Y ! Moonless quiet,

Loaded down with woe; Darkness of night, Pregnant yet with storm!

Salt tears unshed, In eyes that cannot see-Senses transferred, Yet still in impotence; One world long lost, And yet no other gained!

Sorrow and sin! Ragings within and chaos without! Now this, now that! Now - here — no - where! Nothingness all — Both Here and There! !

H. A. B. Jones-Quartey

H O P E ! Long have I lived

In doubts and fears,-Much have I seen Of blood and tears. Days have been lean, And nighls have been cold; Board bare of meat, And garments too old.

Yet in my seat With me rides One — Constant as Spring, When Winter's gone. Light does she bring — An ever-burning ilame; Upward she points — HOPE is her name!

sincere behest to do us proud. To the Class of 1944, we bequeath the embryonic Class of 1945, trusting that

their introduction to "the Lincoln way" will be thorough. Executed and attested this twentieth day of February, in the year one

thousand nine hundred and forty-one.

' C L A S S P R O P H E C Y Fans were filing by the hundreds on to Rendall Field, and by game time

a brilliant sun was streaming down on 20,000 gridiron followers massed in the newly erected Charles Frank Murray Stadium. The huge crowd rose as one as burly James Masten Lewis, III, booted a beautiful end over end kick-off to inaugurate the sixty-fifth renewal of the oldest Negro collegiate rivalry. It was Thanksgiving Day, 1961, and the Lion and the Bison were at it again.

The game was as closely contested as any former Lincoln-Howard game and only Referee "Philo" Lee's debatable ruling on pass interference against Howard enabled Lincoln to score just before the end of the half. As the players plodded to the locker rooms at intermission, Selwyn Atwell and W. D. Coleman, professor and assistant professor, respectively, of English at Howard University, ran out on the field to joke good-naturedly with their old classmate, "Philo" Lee, for his costly decision on that pass.

During the half-time, hand shakes were plentiful as old timers sought out each other. State Representative E. K. Nichols was congratulating his col-league in the Legislature, James Masten Lewis, Jr., on the fine playing of his son, and Lewis, in turn, was admiring Nichols' taste in cigars. Surgeon Chester A. Waters was sending out a general notice that he would be kind enough to take anyone back to North Jersey after the game for as little as 50 cents. William Beale Ramsey, III, now an up and coming Philadelphia ward politi-cian, exchanged greetings with Waters and appeared much chagrined when he learned that Waters was not going through Philadelphia but was taking the shorter route through West Chester.

Dr. William Garner, Rufus Shorter, and Elijah Harvey were rushing around bidding hurried "hellos" and "good-byes." They explained to Reginald Young, of the Baltimore Board of Health, that their professional football team of up-state "hunkies" was playing a crucial league game that night in Pottsville. University Business Manager Franklin H. Williams was extending a perfunc-tory invitation to all to come to his home over on the pike after the game. J. Vernon Daniels, proprietor of the swank "Tush Club" in downtown New York, and his band leader, Cleo "Sax" Palmer, were eyeing critically the new five-button sack sport coats worn by Dr. Peter James Smith, of Main Line prominence, and gentleman-of-leisure, Heyward Blackwell.

Maurice Anderson and St. Julian De Costa were lamenting their recent ill-fortune at the hands of the Wilmington Dupont click. It appears that the two non-conformists had suddenly decided that all was not morally aright with such a concentration of power. James L. Bryant and Winston A. E>ouglas, both administrative powers at Virginia State College, were trying to persuade Harvard doctorates, Julian Gilliam and Felix Lindo, to accept teaching posi-tions at State. Lendall Chase, new head of the National Negro Congress,

held forth valiantly on Negro labor's urgent need for organization. Reverend Henry H. Mitchell loosed his clerical collar to admit that the need was an urgent one, "—but it'll never happen!" Doctor Roy Nochols, for five years now a member of the staff at Union Theological Seminary, was questioning New York State Senator H. Arthur Brisbane on the possibility of placing Jesse Gloster at the head of the proposed extensive Harlem recreative program. Brisbane demurred awhile and then answered favorably on the condition that Gloster mustered his forces in support of District Attorney Vergil Young in the coming United States Senatorial elections.

The players had returned for the second half; but before play continued, the loud speaker announced that all true men of Lincoln would please assemble in the middle of the field for the traditional singing of the Alma Mater led by Professor Benjamin D. Mitchell. Mitchell had raised his hands when a terrible commotion at the east gate caused all 20,000 heads to turn to the scene of disturbance. Business Manager Williams and his statistical side-kick, Robert T. Freeman, rushed to the ticket booth. Finally, G. Claiborne Fowlkes appeared; it seemed that Williams' ever alert ticket-takers were reticent about admitting Fowlkes on a press card from the new born "Memphis Nectar Bowl." Again Mitchell gave his signal to begin and the melodious tenor voice of Dr. H. Clay Jacke led the chorus of "Dear Lincoln, Dear Lincoln."

As the last words of the Alma Mater died out, Coach Luis y Ramos stopped to speak to Coach Rivero, now in his twentieth year of coaching at Lincoln. Ramos desired some information on the plausibility of bringing a Latin American track team on an American tour, financially sponsored by pros-perous Dr. C. Warren Smith and Virgin Island representative to the United States, Wilfrid A. James, and morally backed by Dr. Aaron Peters, British Guiana inspector on the Pan-American Health Commision. Ramos had hardly finished speaking to Rivero when Mr. E. K. Johnston grabbed Ramos by the coat and asked him if such a venture would attract many "paying customers." Ramos answered in the affirmative and Johnston's co-promoter in Pittsburgh, James A. Dorsey, promptly pulled out a long contract.

Finally the field was cleared and the now impatient players lined up for the second half. On the first play, Referee Lee penalized Lincoln for holding and when Lincoln assistant coach, Robert Engs, rushed out on the field to object, Lee marched off fifteen more yards. Then it looked like an occurrence similar to the memorable Lincoln-Howard game of 1940, for G. Hervey Jenkins, Oscar Glass, and Robert Hyde, all recognized and esteemed officials in their own right, rushed from the stands onto the field. But Lieutenant Harris and Wallace Hobson and their efficient corps of "muscle men" pushed the triumvirate back into the stands. Just before play was resumed, Lee warned Associated Press photographer, Ernest Green, to keep off the playing field.

Lincoln held doggedly to its six point lead throughout the game and on the last play of the game a Howard player lay prostrated on the ground. A general call for physicians was sent over the microphone. John Sample, R. Edison Walden, and E. J. Brown answered the call. The three medicos went into conference and Dr. Brown announced superficially, "It looks like a case of a serious fracture of the femur in the proximity of the acetabulum with minor complications in the abdominal cavity; off-hand, I'd say this man needs a doctor." Here, Dr. Oswald Warrington Hoffler projected his elongated form into the circle, slowly shook his head, and took his leave. He was followed by Dr. Percy Batipps who had managed to observe the case superficially but offered no comment. It was left to the efficient specialist, Dr. Theodore Edward Bolden, to closely scrutinize the prostrated figure and say softly, "It's all right, old man, one can't expect to win at all and sundry times." Whereupon the blue and white clad lad arose and, after thanking Bolden for his medical aid, he ran hastily to join his comrades.

—And slowly the fans made their way to the stadium exits. I. N. Perry, Urban sociological research expert, was standing business-like at one of the exits. He had extracted a pad from the depths of his bearskin coat and was rapidly taking down notes on the gestures, conversations, and general mien of those who pushed passed him. When the last spectator had, at last, drifted from the field and another Lincoln-Howard classic had gone into the archives, overalled James Baker laboringly completed the final rite of closing the huge gates at the stadium entrances.
