One who will always be remembered as an outstanding leader and one who changed the colored people from a crying race into a try- ing race was Booker T. Washington. Such great esteem as he is held in by the nation, is shown by the fact that on April 7, 1940, the United States sold the first Booker T. Wash- ington stamp, carrying the photograph of this Father of Education of the Negro. MAROON AND WHITE Page Thirty-mme

SPORT SCENES OF THE PAST , Boom! They're off! A line of three Causians and two Negroes, each striving to bring honor and glory to himself and to his school. Owens, one of the dusky boys takes the lead. Peacock, the other colored boy, is second. Peacock moves up. Jesse Owens and Eulace Peacock are run- ning neck and neck. The Sixty! The Seventy! The Eighty meter line! The nearest contest- ant is five meters behind. The two boys are battling all the way. Now, Owens is inching away from Peacock. One inch! Two inches! Three inches! Owens breaks the tape the win- ner-establishing a new world's record for the 100 meter dash and adding his name to the world's honor roll of sports. Our scene now shifts to Sydney, Australia on December 26, 1908, where two men are facing each other in the middle of the ring. 'Tommy Burns, the heavyweight boxing cham- pion of the world, is about to fight a Negro, Jack Johnson. Clang! The bell sounds. Round one. Both men are fighting a hard clean fight. Round two. Round three. Round four. Johnson seems to be the master of the fight now, although Burns is battling gamely. Round five. Round six. Round seven. It is grueling battle. Round eight, nine, ten, eleven. twelve. Burns seems to be weakening slowy but is gamely going on. Round thirteen. Burns seems to be having trouble in landing his blows. Round fourteen. Both men come cau- tiously out from their corners. Burns leads with a left jab which falls short. Johnson counter punches with rights and lefts. A right uppercut, a left hook, a right hook landed by Johnson. Burns is on the ropes. Johnson con- nects with a hard smashing right and down goes Burns for the count of 7, 8, 9, 10. Jack Johnson is the winner by a knockout and is the first Negro heavy-weight champion in the history of the world. Page Forty Now let us look in upon that memorable evening of June 22, 1937, when James J. Braddock the heavy-weight champion of the world is about to defend his title against Joe Louis. Clang! The bell and round one is on. Both boys move cautiously, feeling each other out. Round two. Round three. Louis is put- ting more steam behind his blows. Round four. Round five. Round six. Louis is open- ing up and Braddock is badly bruised. Round seven. Braddock is wobbly. Round eight. Braddock comes from his corner, game but unsteady. Louis meets him with two terrific left hooks. Down goes Braddock for the count of 10 and to Louis goes the first heavy-weight championship held by a Negro in 29 years, and the second in the history of the world. Other Negroes, too numerous to mention, some well known, and some practically un- known, have at one time or another, held a championship or arecord in the field of sports. Some of the most prominent among these are Henry Armstrong, who won three titles in the space of a years' timeg John Henry Lewis, retired light-heavy-weight championg John Borican, holder of record for the 1000 yard race ,David Albritton, Cornelius Johnson and Melvin Walker, co-holders of the world's high jump record which is six feet nine and three- fourths inches, Johnny Woodruff, holder of the 880 yard record, who tied the 440 yard record three times and who ran the half mile 2.2 seconds better than the world record. Kenny Washington, Brud Hollins, Fritz Pol- lard and Sidat Singh, all gridiron heroes of the first calibre, and Paul Robeson, generally known as a world famous singer, who was MAROON AND WHITE
