A wired jaw has not silenced
Muhammad Ali, who has freely
discussed his recent loss to Ken
Norton and its effect on his
boxing future in recent
interviews. He cited his neglect
of his religious routine as a
reason for his being unprepared i
for the Norton bout and
mentioned physical troubles
such as the broken jaw, a
twisted ankle and a sore
knuckle in explaining the
surprising outcome. As for his
future, Ali left no doubt that
he would be busy both boxing
and fighting for the cause of
his black brothers in the
United States. This busy
schedule was cited in his
rejection of his nomination to
the post of poetry professor at
Oxford.

For University of Maryland
freshman John Lucas the end
of the collegiate basketball
season and the beginning of
tennis rekindles the
controversy about his dual role
in athletics and his future in
the professional ranks. The
6-foot-4, 175-pound Lucas has
been equally successful in
basketball and tennis, having
played a vital role for the
nationally ranked Terrapins in
his first year at Maryland and
having achieved two state
championships in high school
tennis. But now he is being
pressed to select one sport to
which he will devote all 12
months in pointing for a
professional career. For Lucas
the decision to pattern his
career after either Walt Fazier
or Arthur Ashe is a pleasant
one which he is in no hurry to
make.

Johnny Lewis Named
St. Louis Coach
Johnny Lewis, a fromer St.
Louis Cardinal player who has
served in administrative
capacities with the club in
recent years, has been named a
Cardinal coach, it was
announced recently by Bing
Devine, general manager.
Lewis, who is 33 years old,
is the first base coach. He first
joined the Cardinals as a player
Davis will soon be back on the
national collegiate athletic
scene with no ill effects from
his January auto accident.
Sophomore Davis, who led the
Trojans to the number one
national ranking in football last
fall, suffered multiple injuries
on both legs. But he has
returned to form and is a
regular on the USC baseball
team. Referring to his seven
stolen bases in seven attempts
Davis said, “I’ve lost none of
my speed.”

While participating one the
pro track tour in celebrity
40-yard dashes, Dallas Cowboy
Bob Hayes issued a “play me
or trade me” ultimatum to
Dallas coach Tom Landry.
Hayes, who lost his job last
year to Ron Sellers following
an early season injury, has now
exhibited his old speed on the
track and has said to Landry:
“I will not sit on the bench
again in Dallas.”

Ferguson Jenkins of the
Chicago Cubs showed the form
that earned him six consecutive
20-victory seasons in
outdealing New York Met ace
Tom Seaver 1-0 to notch his
first victory of the season.

in the farm system in 1959 at
Winnipeg and moved to Tulsa
and Atlanta in the minor
league before joining the
parent club in 1964. He was
traded to the New York Mets
after the ‘64 season when
Devine, too, was with the Mets.
Last stop in the big leagues
for Lewis was San Diego in
1969. An arm injury cut short
his career.
Devine said that Lewis had
been considered as a coach
earlier.
“Lewis has always been a
good man for the organization
and he seems to be better
oriented to a field position,”
Devine said.
After retirement as a player,
Lewis operated a
Jack-In-The-Box restaurant in
St. Louis for about seven
months and was working as a
part-time clothing salesman
when Devine again met him
and told Lewis to call him.
Devine hired him for the sales
department.
Lewis, a native of Pensacola,
Fla., now lives in St. Louis
with his wife June, and three
children.

Sites Resurfacing
According to Commissioner
Ed Mclntyre the much needed
resurfacing of East Boundary
and that portion of Gwinnett
Street from Twiggs Street to
East Boundary wijl be
resurfaced in the near future. I
have been working religiously
to secure funds for the
resurfacing of these two streets
because of their hazardous
condition and because of the
un-pleasantness that it has
afforded so many of our
citizens.

Former
POW
Visits
Hornsby
School
Red Letter Day was recently
held at W.S. Hornsby
Elementary School. In
response to a great deal of
anticipation and preparation
Hornsby was visited by Sgt.
Henry J. Davis former POW
currently being processed at
Fort Gordon. Sgt. Davis,
escorted by principal James L.
Starks, visited each classroom
where he received numerous
plaques and other mementos
prepared for him by the
children. He joined the
children for games on the
playground and for lunch in
the cafetorium.
In summing up his visit to
Hornsby Sgt. Davis said, “This
is truly one of the most
heartwarming experiences of
my life. The love and affection
shown me by these boys and
girls was obviously truly
genuine I shall always treasure
it”.
The students at W.S.
Hornsby School are grateful to
Sgt. Davis for his memorable
visit and to Mrs. Emira Lymon,
a teacher at Hornsby, whose
efforts made his visit possible.
ROBESON
Cont’d from Page 1
deep, rich, bass voice thrilled
audience after audience. An
actor also, Robeson was on
stage and screen in many roles,
most notably Emperor Jones
and Othello. As a linguist,
Robeson spoke many of the
world’s languages and had a
special interest in African
Languages.
Robeson had a total
committment to the struggles
of Black and other oppressed
people of the world. Many of
his non performing hours were
spent in efforts to assist these
struggles. Because of his
involvement with labor unions,
civil rights organizaions, and
anti colonial movements,
Robeson was prevented from
performing in many places in
the U.S.
He was denied a U.S.
passport from 1950 to 1958
for his refusal to sign a non
communist affidavit. Robeson
felt that it infringed on his first
amendment and human rights.
Speaking at the celebration,
Mrs. Martin Luther King noted
that Robeson had been “buried
alive” for activities.
Comparing to her husband she
said that even earlier than Dr.
King, Robeson “had tapped
the same wells of latent
militancy” among Black
people.
Jazz artist Dizzy Gillespie
called Robeson his “personal
hero”, and Gary, Ind. Mayor
Richard Hatcher called
Robeson “our own Black

prince and prophet”.
Also paying tribute to
Robeson were artists Harry
Belafonte, Odetta, Leon Bibb,
and Sidney Poitier. “Before
him, no Black man or woman
had been portrayed in
American movies as anything
but a racist stereotype” Poitier
said.
Members of the audience
rose up to pay tribute to
Robeson in brief statement.
“I’m not interested in his
politics” said Dr. Leon E.
Thompson, Director of
educational activities for the
New York Philharmonic, “as a
Black musician, I want to
honor him as an artist and a
great man, and we want our
children to know him for
that”.
Another member of the
audience confessing ignorance
of Robeson until his 75th
birthday “got into the news”,
stated, “I’m here to repair a
great gap in my education.”
A mixed media
“theatrical biography”
presenting Robeson’s career in
recording?, slides, and movies,
was received warmly and
enthusiastically by the
audience.
Robeson’s tape recorded
message reflected a continuing
committment and greatly
moved the audience. “My heart
is still with the continuing
struggles of my own
people...not only for equal
irghts, but an equal share”,
Robeson said. He saluted “the
colonial liberation movements
of Africa, Latin America and
Asia”.
Reciting in a strong spoken
voice the words of the song he
made famous Robeson said
“But 1 keeps laughing instead
of crying/ I must keep fighting
until I’m dying/ And Os Man
River , he just keeps rolling
along!”
