WITH Uction fast, furious, and plenteous, the first all Negro
city championship boxing tournament, staged under the
sanction of the Texas Amateur Federation, got under way
last night at the International arena, for a two- or three-day
session of slugging and ducking. .. ,
With there being only some thirty-odd entrants, it is
expected the tourney will end tonight. The tournament was

finals will probably be staged
tonight, although, if necessary,
Saturday night may nlno sec some

THE LION THIN CLADS
WISCONSIN WITHDRAWS TRACK
TEAM FROM MEET WHEN
NEGRO STAR IS BANNED
By The A«ioelated Negro Prest v««lo
MADISON, Wis.—Unlike many other northern schools that
Mhave gone fhtUd with contests when Negro members of
athlctic teams were banned, the University of- Wisconsin has
withdrawn its track team for a meet scheduled for April 15,
at Columbia Mo., with Notre Dame and Missouri universities
because Ed Smith, the Badgers' star hurdler, has been banned
on account of rhce.
Decision to withdraw was made
Tuesday after the Wisconsin fue
ulty adopted a resolution opposing
participation In any intercollegiate
event from which an athlete wus
barred because of Ills race, and
• «,ig*0Kted withdrawal from Satur-
day^ meet if It could be done
"without breach of faith." Tnc
Daily Cardinal, student newspaper,
also advocated withdrawal.
Coach Tom Jones of Wisconsin
sahl the decision reached with
Missouri officials wus "perfectly
agreeable to both sides" and at
Columbia, Don Fnurot, Missouri
athletic director, added:
'•Competition between the white
and Negro races has never been
permitted «t the University of
Missouri, and It Is felt that no
deviation from this policy should
be made."
However, that institution ha°
competed outside thc state against
Negro athletes, the most noted
recent Instance being In the MU
of 1!>37 against the University of
California at Los Angeles football
team on the West Coast. Thy
UOLA team won a last minute
victory, mainly through the efforts
of Woodrow Wilson Strode and
Kenny Washington.
In view of the present agitation
for Negro enrollment at Missouri,
in accordance with the recent
supreme court decision, the at-
titude on colored nt'Uetes Is con-
sidered significant, particularly
since In other parts of thc sta'J
notably Ht. Louis, athletes of tin-
two races compete against each
other l)o;ii iu amateurs aud pro
fcsslouaia.
The b e a u t i ful $100
trophy offered by San
Antonio Register to the
winner of the Anderson
(Austin) - Wheatley high
school field and track
meet, has been received
from the manufacturers,
and will be on display in
Register offices begin-
ning tomorrow, Saturday,
April 15.
Since Wednesday the
striking and costly award
has been on display at
Phillis Wheatley senior
school.
The trophy is to go to
the winner of the annual
field and track meet-
instituted this year, and
probably to be known as
the Lion relays—between
the Austin and local high
schools.
It will become the
permanent property of
the school first winning
it three times. WheUtley
has one leg on the award
already, having won, by
an overwhelming margin,
the first meet of what is
henceforth to be an an-
nual classic.
The local dealer de-
clared that, to his knowl
edge, the Register trophy
is the most beautiful and
costly to go to Uny San
Antonio institution, re-
gardless of race.
The award will be
formally presented to ths
Wheatley athletes at the
annual honor day ex-
ercises to be conducted
in May.

thc University of California at
Los Angeles, was dismissed from

It was brought out that Strode,

In recent years, that a severe at-
tack of any of these diseases has
a serious effect on thc adrenal

such athletes train, the damaged j

up sufficient energy to make an
athlete of championship caliber.

dominance, saying it was due lo
"softer muscles" which responded
more quickly than do the harder

The writer said these softer

.Many other theories have been
advanced, tlie most popular being
that colored competitors have "a

of special physical equipment is
raised as a defense mechanism by
Caucasians who want some way

would seem, then, that both have

"Since it has been well establish-
ed scientifically that a well dc

reasonable to conclude that this
