THE PLAY

By DON l)K LKIGHBI K PVT. BOH MONT<»OMKRV, lioiitwki<;ht champ, idoi, OF Gl’s AT LI KE FIELD IN ARIZONA. NEW YORK Private Major Robinson, a slick, quick, little O.I with a yen for battling out breezy phrases on his ty^‘writer or note path as in the days when he was free as a breeze and could wear a root suit if he 'wanted to. has sent me a rather unique tittle piece n World Lightweight Champion Rob Montgomery, also a (J. L, and said to be in tin* service at Luke Field in Arizona. According to Major Robinson. the champion had tinishect tfhow in the mess hall and a little inter was loafing around the PX. where he was drinking a coke, when an alert private. who is an avid render of the sports pages, spits! Holt. yvalked up to him. and said. “Aren’t you Bob Montgomery. Lightweight Champion of the World”? P.< b smiled and sheepishly admitted his identity in the shy manner that lias endeared hint to the sports writers throughout the country and to the thousands of sports fans who have seen him in action. Major Robinson reports that the news spread like hot syrup over corn bread all over camp, within less time than it tak»*s you to read this, that the station had the pi i/a* catch in the Lightweight Champion- of the World. The (ils swarmed around him immediately and Boh Montgomery was busy for a long, long time a biographizing. reminiscing running nis mouth, and giving the fellows the biggest kick they had hud in weeks. WHAT HE MEANS TO YOUNG FOLK Montgomery means something to every young Negn because of his modesty, ids aiunner of public conduct, and the way he deports himself in tin* ring. He represents the highest tyi** ot our young manhood in character, intelligence and tin* ability to get along with people. Born in Philadelphia twentyfive years ago. Monty did not put on gloves until when he got into sonn amateur tournnaraents arouni tie* City of Brotherly Love. He turned professional in hut Ids ring career was justso-so until the early part of 1941 wh-n -Herman "Muggsy” Taylor, who is commonly called the Mike Jacobs of the LMiaker City, started featuring 1dm on his all-star cards. Boh rapidly built a wide following among the boxing enti:usia-ts of Philadelphia ad s.ion became the biggest drawing card in that city. One by one Taylor threw to him choice hits of boxing flesh, some of which Montgomery digested with ease, and some of which he gagged upon. *t Among the pugs that went through the Montgomery ftoje per were such lads as Lew Tenkins. the loquacious Texas

cowboy, who at that time held tin* world's lightweight championship: Sammy Angolt who succeeded him hut as the National Boxing Association lightweight champion, and sundry lighters of headline proportions. After a while, Mike Jacolxs in \ew York got the notion that here was a lad who would show well at Madison Square Harden and brought Boh over for a few lights which served to build Ids popularity and to force him into the picture as a top-ranking attraction in tin* lightweight bracket in Hotham. Then followed his duels with Sidney Bean Jack" Walker, also a H. 1. but. at that time. I be million-dolla r shoeshine boy from the Hrensword of the Augusta National Golf Ch:b. deep in the heart of Georgia. EVERY INCH A CHAMPION Montgomery, as a soldier, is n< important although he ?s a lightweight - as Jot* lyiuis liecnuse o ft he effect that it lias on tlie thousands and thousands of young Negro boys throughout the country who need heroes of tin* right kind to worship. Montgomery is a champion - every inch a champion. He is a clean, squareshooter: he fights ids best in evi iy appearance even though i in* result might nol match up to the effort. He commands respect in all circles and his presence in tin* uniform of our great country signifies the morale value of being an American and also tin* significant-** of being a champion. it might be recalled that it was Bob Montgomery and Beau Jack who drew tin* biggest money gate in tin* history of boxing when they attracted •Sdii (Nhi.oCO wo; th of war bonds in tin* Fifth War Loan Bond in their fight, for fiee. at the Haiden a few mouths hack. Montgomery is now doing Ids share to rid the world of NaziJapaiiese veradn and. when it is over. Bob may not return to the ring but retire undefeated as lightweight champion, going into business for himself as a proprietor and promoter of a chain of night clubs or caojtrets across the country on the five and tcn-c* nt chain store plan, out ol which be expects to reap a fortune. Married and tin* father of a son. Montgomery’s plans for the future are basically sound. A fighter has only so many tights in him. good or bad. Montgomery figures with tin* nest egg he has a I ready put a side from tin* various bouts he lias engaged in. since he turned pro in 1‘dd'd. that Ids best investment is in an idea of Ids own and. in lids respect, he has certainly chosen one from which much expectation can be entertained and which lias tremendous j*ossibilities. Boh has tlf* good wishes of millions of sports .fans, black and white, rich and poor, in anything lie wants to do. He has certainly earned fin* admiration and respect of everyone.

Robeson, Jr., Syracuse Star SYRACUSE. N. Y.—Paul Robeson, Jr., playing the same position vacated six years ago by Brud Holland, sparked the Cornell university football team's :i9 to C victory over Syracuse here last Saturday afternoon. The 17-year-old son of the famous actor, who likewise was a great end at Rutgers, started and played through most of the game at left end, figuring prominently in Coach Carl Knavely’s pet emlaround formation which Holland made famous. In addition to chalking up the first touchdown on a .‘il-yard sprint, young Robeson kicked three extra points and worked beautifully in the Big Red offense all afternoon.
