Beacu high school Bulldogs
invaded Charleston last Thurs-
day and handed the Burke
high school team the r first
defeat by the locals in a num¬
ber of years, 27-6. Last year
P.ie two teams played to a score
less t e, last week’s score being
the largest In the games be¬
tween these two bitter ovals.
After an offside penalty on
the kickoff, the first of many
to follow, the Bulldogs shifted
into “Hi” and did not stop until
William Patterson had scored
from the 9 yard line for the
first tally. In the process,
Euv-me Morris, Eddie Garvin
and Patterson picked up five
first downs. The try extra
point went bad.
Quarterback Claude Roberts
then directed h s squad down
to the 2, only to draw a 15 yd
penalty. On the next play, a
pass from Roberts to Leroy Ro¬
per in the end zone accounted
lor the second marker, Garvin
converting.
Unable to penetrate the
iCeach defense wall, Burke
took the air only to nave Mor¬
ris ntercept the oval, which
paved way for the third score.
Patterson hit pay dirt over
tipkle, and converting, score
20-0.
After an exchange of punts
in the th rd period, Burke
took the air again. An in¬
terception by John Wrig.it,
gave Beach the ball. The com-
b.nation of Roberts to Roper
clicked again, the latter scoi-
ing after taking the ball on the
1C, making -the sdJiV Beach,

At this point Burke suddenly
became reV.talized and, aided
by three penalties and a com¬
pleted pass, was able to get

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE
Negro Girl Who “Hated”
Everybody on “Family
Closeup”
A sensitive study in race rela¬
tions, through the feelings of a
15 year old Negro girl, will be
dramatized over WDAft and the
ABC network Sunday, October 30,
at 9:30 A. M. when FAMILY
CLOSEUP details the personal
story of Betty Mae whose inner
frustrations led her to fear and
j hate the whole “world” about her.
Like other weekly dramatic epi-
sodes in the FAMILY CLOSEUP
series, the story of Betty Mae is
adapted from actual case in the
reeords of a family service agency
and is presented nation-wide by
ABC’s Public Affairs Department,
the Family Service Association of
America and its member agencies.
Locally, the program is sponsored
by Family Service, a Bed Feather
Service of the Savannah Com¬
munity Chest.
Feeling deserted by her father,
who went “north,” and in conflit 1
with her mother, who thought her
aspiiation.s for education and a
career beyond achievement, Betty
Mae rebelled with all the fever of
adolescence. Although impatient
with those of her own race who in¬
sisted that she would be foolish t(
strive for recognition in a “white
world,” Betty Mae fought with
her teachers, failed in her studies-
and behaved in a manner which
alienated all who might have help¬
ed her.
Because they sensed that with¬
out help she might easily become
a bitter, cynical or even delin¬
quent individual, Betty Mae’s
teachers referred her to a family
as she felt against the world,
which seemingly blocked her way
to “making something of herself.”
Only months of patient effort con¬
vinced her that the counselor
would not fail her in a critical
moment and had no prejudice or
ulterior motives in offering help,
The girl has helped in the only
way a person with her fears could
he helped—by finding someone
whom she could believe in and con¬
fide, by being enabled to plan a
future course With full recognition
of the difficulties ahead of her.
A scholarship was provided
through the agency when her higli

“THERE’S MUCH TO
DO” ROBINSON TELLS
BENNETT GIRLS
Greensboro, N. C.—“Just be¬
cause we have gotten a few
good breaks doesn’t mean that
we are ‘in’,” Jackie Robinson
told Benriett College student^
during his appearance on the
campus last week.
The Dodger’s famous second
ibaseman is currently on a
barn-storming tour with his
All-Star team. He was accom¬
panied by Roy Campanella and
Don Newcombe, both Dodgers
placers, and Larry Doby of the
Cleveland Indians.
The players were given an
enthusiastic welcome by the
students, who listened avidly
to their words of greeting.
Striking a serious note in his
remarks, Robinson reminded
the students that there “is still
much to be done to better
race relations. We have come
a long way,” he said, “but we
must not become satisfied and
quit. As future citizens you
have a great responsibility;
never forget this. We must
continue to fight until we reach
our goal.”
His words drew forth spon¬
taneous applause. The girls
will never forget the men who
have made such a great contri-
bution to America’s favorite
sport and who have done so
much for their race,
Nor will they ever forget the
friendly manner which Larry
Doby chatted with students
from his home town Camden,
S. C.; the regular manner in
which Jackie Robinson pitched]
in and helped decorate the I
gym for a dance that evening,
or the brief moment Don New-
combe dropped by during in¬
termission that night to say
“hello” dnd wave his hand in
greeting.
It was a memorable occa¬
sion, As one student so ap¬
propriately expressed it, “Oh.
they were so inspiring. And
so American. Just like your
own brother baick home might
be.” There could be no great¬
er tribute to four finer fellows.

JIM-CROW DEAD
OR ALIVE
Chicago (ANP)—Theresa
Abernathy, 28, met little dis¬
crimination during her short
life’s work, but the ugly head
of jim crow showed itself to
her remains after death.
The young Chicagoan had
recently acquired a responsible
position on the staff of the
Chicago YWCA, and had pre¬
viously taught special courses
at the George Williams College
in this city.
Since childhood she had ex¬
pressed a desire for her body to
be cremated after she died.
Request was made of the fun¬
eral director* for such after
her death last week.
The Oakwood Cemetery asso-
ciation of this city refused the
I uneral director’s because Miss
Abernathy was a Negro.
Since cremating a Negro
about a year ago for the same
company, the association stat¬
ed that it had been advised to
adhere to the policies set forth
in its by-laws which restrict
its services to members of the j
Caucasian race.
