"THE LARGEST GOP RALLY around here in 30 years" . . . Thats .what .Norrell . M. .Hayes, .popular sportsman and Republican party worker, promises you and all your friends Friday night (Oct. 25) at the gala Republican rally set for the Walker Casino. There will be plenty of refreshments and a star-studded entertainment revue has been lined up . . . Speakers for the evening will include Senator Robert L. Brokenburr, Atty. Frank R. Beckwith, Rev. T. R. Murff, Rev. W. S. Nelson, and Superior Court Judge Wilbur Grant. Atty. Rufus Kuykendall will serve as master of ceremonies and Felix Brown, 1 1th Ward chairman, will introduce Clarence Drayer, the GOP mayoralty candidate . . . We'll be locking forward to seeing everyone there Friday nite at 8 p.m. ALSO ON THE POLITICAL SCENE: Both Negro City Council hopefuls, Rufus Kuykendall (Republican, 2nd District), and Rev. James Cummings, Democrat, 3rd District), have promised, if elected, to conduct a vigorous battle in the Council chambers for much needed improvements on the local rights scene. Long active in the Negro^ fight.for equal rights, both these men deserve your wholehearted support.

Machen Says back to the heyday of Floyd Patterson, who fought the Rademachers, the Harrisses, the Londons ‘and the McNeeleys. In the meantime, the legitimate contenders were punching up each other, just to keep eating.” Machen has not forgotten that his inability to get a title bout with Patterson resulted in his unfortunate fight with Ingemar Johansson. Johansson, a 3 to 1 underdog, pulled one of boxing’s biggest Lir*sets by flattening Eddie in the first round of their bout in Sweden, and Machen’s title chances went uo in smoke. Concerning the proposed ListonClay title bout, Machen said: ‘‘('lay against Liston has to be a farce. It will be no fight—just a matter of how long Cassius can run before Sonny catches him. This time can be a switch—Clay can name the round that he falls

himself.”

Machen also said Clay fights like an amateur. This is how he sizes up the “Lip.”: “To start with, he doesn’t have too good a chin. Secondly, he doesn’t understanding boxing. His ring generalship is weak. Thirdly, he can’t fight inside. And finally, he has never learned how to slip punches. He still draws his head back, .which _is _a .fundamental

blunder.”

INDIANA GOV. MATTHEW WELSH is scheduled to cut the ribbon opening the Indiana Emancipation Centennial Exposition Friday at 1 1 a.m. at the Fairgrounds Manufacturing Building . . . The Indiana observance, to run through Oct. 27, is featuring Historic Exhibits and Renowned Talent, and will demonstrate to the world that the Nergo despite years of repression, has made numerous contributions to the American society ... It is our unqualified opinion that any Negro who fpils to actively support the Centennial Exposition "ISN'T WORTH HIS SALT" and forfeits all rights to complain about being a second-class citizen (Attendance at the recent Chicago Exposition was far below expectations).

Coach Charges • Continued from Page 11 i Browns had no intentions of playing him at quarterback and were selling him to Dallas as a halfback. He refused to sign anything but a no-cut contract at quarterback. He didn’t get it and went to Montreal of the Canadian League for $70,000 on a three-year no-cut contract. But Sandy, embittered and unhappy, didn’t work out and was traded to

Toronto.

Says UN is Man's Hope for Peace UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. — Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie said here last week that the United Nations “reposes the best—perhaps the last—hope for the survival of mankind. The 73-year-old emperor spoke to delegates from 111 nations while on a two-day visit to the United States, Oct. 4 and 5. Prior to his UN address, he spoke to members of the Senate in Washington. * Speaking in Amharic, Selassie recalled that 27 years ago he appealed in vain to the League of Nations for help against aggres-

sion.

He said he sought in Geneva in 1936 to appeal “for relief from the destruction which had been unleashed against my defenseless nation.” “I spoke then to and for the conscience of the world,” he stated. “My words went unheeded, but history testifies to the accuracy of the warning that I gave in 1936.” Selassie came to the United Nations Building following a long ticker tape parade in Manhattan in which he insisted on walking instead of riding the last five blocks. Members of the assembly filled galleries as Selassie spoke and gave him a standing ovation be- I fore and after his speech.

THE GIANTS obtained Wilburn Hollis, a quarterback from Iowa who didn’t survive the cut. The Pittsburgh Steelers had Roy Curry of Jackson (Miss.) State listed as a halfback. “Curry was a tremendous quarterback and the greatest passer I’ve ever seen,” Gaither said. “The trouble is that every pro team has some prejudiced players, and not necessarily from the South,

either.

“They’ll play next to Negroes but won’t take directions from them. It’s the same reason a Negro policeman can’t arrest a white man in the South. “Only lack of opportunity keeps the Negro from being a quarterback and bias limits the opportunity. “I see changes coming,” predicted the popular Gaither. “Athletics will do it. I just hope to be around to see it.” Florida A & M University is located in Tallahassee.

Floyd Hopes Continued from Page 11 in first-round knockouts by Champion Sonny Liston, smiled and explained: i . . “It’s odd but it’s true that there’s no substitute for competition. You’ve got to have actual ring fights—not just training ses- | sions—to keep sharp. “And my trouble was since I won h?.'*k the title from Johansson in 1960, “I’ve had less than 12 rounds of real fighting—in three years” He said he would enjoy fighting now without the title pres- : sure, and he was sure that “in a ■ year or two” he would be so much improved that the public would be willing to give him one last try as challenger. “And no matter who is champion.” he concluded, “I’ll beat him. And I don’t mean to underrate Liston or anyone else.”

Pistons Drop Walter Dukes DETROIT—Big Walter Dukes, former Seton Hall All-American who was once one of the biggest, stars of the National Basketball Association, last week was released on waivers by the Detroit Pistons. Dukes, who also was one of the ! leadin'’ - rebounders in the NBA, | did not report to the Pistons’ 1 training camp this fall. WALT HAD BEEN with the Pistons since 1957, when they acquired him in a straight player deal with the then Minneapolis Lakers in exchange for Larry ; Faust. He had his best season with the Pistons in 1959-60, when he averaged 15.2 points per game and snared 883 rebounds. His best re- ! bounding season was in 1900-61, when he snared 1,028.

Jim Brown Continued from Page 11 Browns resurgence to the confidence new head coach Blanton Collier places in his players, in- I eluding Jim himself. “Now there is a different attitude on our team ... a different philosophy which Blanton Collier brought with him,” Brown told a Pro ; Quarterback Club luncheon in New York prior to the BrownsEagles game here.

He is a member of the Pine Lake Recrcss Club of Detroit and St. Country Club (board of directors),) Dunstan’s Guild of Cranborah.
