SUBSCRIPTIONS 10 Cents Per Copy $2.50 Per Year Scholarships Open to All The recent trend of Negro clubs and organizations io discontinue the practice of giving scholarships to "Negro scholars" is a step in the right direction. Certainly, it is a step toward integration. There are many who will argue the validity of this move, but the step is a necessary one if Portland is to keep abreast of inter-racial progress and at the same time foster the principles of equality. It is unquestionable that some of the Negro students have benefited from the scholarships offered, but at the same time, many of these Negro students were in reality only competing against Negroes. The academic scholarships offered to students in Portland public schools should not be offered on a segregated basis. Negro scholarship committees were finding it increasingly embarrassing to go to high schools and ask for the grades of graduating Negro students. Likewise, high school officials were reluctant in giving out these grades. There is a new era ahead for America's youth. It is paramount to the advancement of the Negro that his youth be an integral part of this new era. He cannot really qualify for this task ahead unless he competes against the best. Only through this open competition can he gain true stature and individual recognition. Eventually, Americans must face a free, equal society. This will mean acceptance of all individuals on their own merits. A step in this direction can be taken by the Portland community, a step to discontinue any form of racial segregatiui1. At times this may be a bitter pill to swallow but a little water will ease it down. We should no longer be interested in Johnny because he is the only Negro in this class with a 2.01 but we should be interested in Johnny because "he rates among the top five students in his class."

He was released by Hollywood with a record of no wins and two losses. Bob Boyd, the hustling first baseman for Sacramento last year and now with the Seattle Rainiers, has been out of action with leg trouble. Junior Gilliam, prize second baseman of the Montreal Royals, has hit safely in the first 15 games of the International league season. He is batiing a rousing .379. Along with Pendleton, Gilliam helps make up Montreal's fine double-play combination. Shortstopping Pendleton is hitting .365. Dave Hoskins, pitching for the Dallas Eagles of the Texas league, has compiled a 4-1 record to date. In his first 27 innings, Hoskins has allowed 4 runs scored. He is also an exceptionally good hitter for a pitcher. He has been called on to pinch-hit in several games for the Eagles. Luis Marquez, former Portland Beavers and Boston Braves outfielder, along with Burton, continues to pace the Milwaukee Brewers in the A.A. Buzz Clarkson was called by their parent club, the Boston Braves. He is a good hitter and plays a lot of shortstop but has two strikes against him and that being his age. Larry Doby has a brace designed for his leg. The brace fits tightly around the thighs and is held in place by a belt. This is to prevent Doby from being sidelined again with a pulled muscle. It seems that Billy Pierce of the Chicago White Sox has Luke Easter's number, Easter faced Pierce 16 times in 1950 and failed to get a bingle. On April 25, hitting against Pierce, he also failed to get a hit. Easter was sidelined with a pulled muscle in the last game with the New York Yankees. Cleveland won this game 12-5. Harry Simpson played first base for the Indians in place of the injured Easter. Simpson hit a 440 foot home run inside the park to left-center field. • Minnie Minoso, who plays winter league ball, was told to quit playing ball around the first of the year. The White Sox's general manager, Frank Lane, complains that it is too much for a player. Minoso is currently hitting below his batting par. Incidentally, the Cuban flash is in the current issue of Look magazine. Coast league fans will remember Minoso as the dashing utility man of the San Diego Padres who twice reported to the Cleveland Indians. The St. Louis Browns has sent two players to a club in Japan on loan. They are John Britton, a third baseman, and James Newberry, a right-hand pitcher. They report to the Hankyu Braves of the Japanese Pacific league, 300 miles from Tokyo. Abe Sapexstein, owner-coach of the famed Harlem Globetrotters, made the arrangements. Newberry trained at the Browns' camp in Georgia. Britton played with the Giants at Miami, Birmingham Black Barons and in Mexico and Puerto Rico. Walter O'Malley, the Dodger boss, says that he would rather have Roy Campanella than any other catcher in the majors, including the Yanks' Yogi Berra, even if he does have a chip in his elbow. He rates Campanella the best catcher in baseball today. (Who can argue that point?) Sam Jethroe finally broke his hitless spree at 14 with a single against Robin Roberts of the Phillies April 26. In his last appearance in the same game he connected for another sjngle. Jackie Robinson continues to set the pace for each league with a .4:!3 average. Chuck Dressen considers Robbie the greatest two-bagger in the majors. Robinson's old nemisis, Frank Dascoli, has again singled him out among Dodger players as one that used profane language. This latest taunt at Robinson came following the banishment of pitcher Chris Van Cuyk by Dascoli in Cincinnati. A warning in :the form of a letter said thai :the National league's president, .Warren Giles, heard vile language from the Dodger bench personally and iha:t Jackie Robinson was the worst offender. Robinson has. reportedly told Giles that he never used profane language. Funny that this same umpire, Dascoli, seems to single Robinson out as a bad one every time there is a "Dodger incident." Could it be that the hustling Robinson is too much for this guy to take? Sports Brief~·: The Florida league has erased its ban on Negro players ...

See thinks Northwestern's new gon-Oregon State high jump record on Bell field's oval. Barnes' jump was by far the best of his track career. THE old record of 6 feet 5 3/8 inches was set in 1940 by sensation and national champion, State's Ed Woodcock. Jim Golliday, Andy Sanfield and Art Bragg sure-fire triumphs in the 100 and 200 meters. Says See: "George Rhoden seems a certainty at 400 meters, I with Herb McKinley challenging ' strong. At 800 meters Olympic champion Mal Whitfield could repeat." The magazine sees a poss'ible victor for Arizona State's Bill Miller in the javelin. Last year he threw 233 feet, 10% inches. 'Cook Co:mel' Top Point Producer Lewis and Clark's comet, Caley Cook, ran away with individual scoring honors Saturday in 1 track meet with Willamette university. The dashing Cook scooted his way to 18 points only to have his school come secc:1d to the powerful Bearcat squad, 69lfz to 61%. Cook took firsts in the century, low hurdles and broad jump. He was second in the high hurdles. IN his romp over the low hurdles, Cook set a new meet record in :24.6. In local prep circles, Lincoln's Ernie Warren qualified in three events in his quest for Cardinal honors in the state track meet. The versatile Warren took the high hurdles, managed a first place tie with Roosevelt's Lyle Wagoner in the pole vault and finished second in the low hurdles. LAST year he set a city prep record of :15 flat in the lows and was instrumental in guiding Lincoln to a track toga that year. This year's ,state meet will be held at Bell field in Corvallis.
