NAN1IVILL.K, Tenn—Wilma Ru-
dolph Wartl. world women's sprint

versity campus last week after receiv<
injc word that the International Amn
trnr Athletic federation had reeofnired
her record for the llN)-meter dash
of 11.2, set In t track meet at Stutt-
gart, Germany, on July 19, 1001.
She receliwl the cold day on which
she set the record and the Incidenta
connected with It. One of these con
cerned her former Tennessee State
track mate, Willie White, now run
nlnt for the Chicago Track club.
Wllma five credit to Mlsa White
lor pushinf her to the record. "Wil
lie (nd I had been kidding one moth
er all day about which one of ne
would win the race, aa we often do,"
Wilma aald. "We decided that we
milht u well co after a record."
She added:
"80 Willie pushed me as hard as
she could, or I might sot hara done
an wall. She finlahed aecood."
Mrs. Ward explained, however,
that the official world record la not
her fastest time for the distance. She
ran the 100-metere In 11 aeconda
flat In tha I960 Olymplca at Rome,
Italy, but the International body
withheld recognition of It because of
■ prevailing tall wind, Wllma er
plained.
Last weak Wilma learned that the
liAF had also recognised her rec-
ord of 22.9 aeconda for the 20O-
meters, net at Corpus Chrlrtl, Texas,

lan Brown and Mrs. Ward on July

like tha sprint marks, the relay
record waa set while Wllma and
her American male and female track
mates were on « tour of Rusala and
Knrope.
Other atara whose records were rec-
ognised were Frank Budd's, of Villa-
nova, 9.2 aeconda for 100-yard daah,
and Ralph Boston, of Tennessee Bute.
(27 feet 1% inches) In the broad
jump. _ ,
The IAAF explained that Boston s
record la recognised as the world's
nark despite a 21-3 jump by Rus-
its a Igor Tej-Oi-aneayan because
the Russian's record had not yet been
submitted by national track federa-
tions for ratification. Also unrati-
fied were records by Bob Hayes of
Florlds A and M unlreraity (9.2 In
the 100-yard dash) and Budd (20
seconds for 220 yards).

By the Associated Negro Press
ALBANY, Gs. — Jackie Robinson,
former athletic atar and the firet
Negro to be electcd to baseball Hall
of Fame, acored another "first" here
laat week when he waa escorted by
polics snd driven through ths city in
a 30- wr parade after arriving to ad-
dreaa a voter registration rally at a
Negro church.
The arrival of Robinaon, a staunch
civil rlghta fighter, for the rally and
to be honored at a banquet at an-
other church, coincided with an an-
nouncement that he la spearheading a
drive to raise $25,000 to rebuild two
Negro churches that were burned to
the ground, presumably by segrega-
tionists.
The two churches were Mount Oli-
vet and Mount Mary, both Baptist
and located In the Saaaer, Ga., area.
The churches had been centers of
Negro voter registration meetings. No
one waa In the churches at the time,
but both edifices were burned to the
ground.
Robinson waa on the scene to In-
spect the churches before coming here,
where he waa met at the airport by
the police escort, civil rlghta leaders
and hundred* of other Negroea, and
ThlnLXlfiklt
and other civil rights leadtra

of Integration demon-
atration bare by city officiate for Rob-
inaon waa a signal victory for the
former Dodger baseball great, be-
lt waa the firat time such a
wm dqponstratlon was permitted.
Over 1,800 persons have been arreated
hara tp connection with anti-segrega-
tion oemonstratlone, moat of whom
wore charged with parading without
a permit.
Included among those arrested was
a recent group of 75 ministers and
laymen, mostly from New York and
Chicago, who came here on a prayer
pilgrimage at the request of Dr. Mar-
tin Lather King, Jr., who hae joined
forces with Dr. W. O. Anderson In
spearheading the local integration bat-
tle.
Before coming here, Robinson also
stopped off in Atlanta where he was
the guest i.f Dr. King. He then went
on to Sooner to inspect the churches,
declaring aiterwards:
"It really makes you want to cry
deep down in your heart (to see the
wreckages)."
The racial antagonism of the seg-
regationists in the area was so strong
that a furmer named Virgil Kdmund
Puckett, 88, assaulted an FBI agent
investigating the fires, and wns arrest-
ed.
Meanwhile, In Atlanta, the Atlanta
Constitution newspaper announced
editorially a state-wide drive to col-
lect funds to rebuild the Negro
churches. Inviting <«eorgians to aid
the drive, the newspaper said an ar-
chitect has offered to design the new
churches.
"Dozens" Playing
Almost Leads
To Bloodshed
By the Associated Negro Press
MEMPHIS—Some ploy the game,
others don't.
R. B. Tsylor, 34, wanted "to play
tha doaens" but his co-worker, Percy
Broady, 48, didn't And then the
trouble started, police said.
"Playing the doaens" is a gsme In
which two persons hurl insvltj at
each other a dosen times (slthough
few actuslly keep tally), each one try-
ing to outdo the other. The remarks,
which must be in rhyme, get pro-
gressively more insulting. (NOTE
This apparently Is the Memphis defi
nition. There are other versions—
all insulting, all degrading.)
"It usually winds up in a fight
before the game is over," Judge Bou-
she aald.
And that'a what happened, police
said, when Taylor tried to play the
game of verbal abuse with Broady
while they were working last week
at a packing plant.
Broady said Taylor had been Incit-
ing him all day. and finally, while
they were taking their afternoon
break on the loading dock, things
got out of hand.
"I kept telling him I didn't play the
dosens,'* Broady anld, "but he would-
n't atop. I started toward him, and
he pulled a knife."
Witneesee said Broady then left
work, saying he wns goin# home for a
gun. Nat Buring, owner of the com-
pany, called police.
While the officers were questioning
Taylor, Broady drove up. Police
searched hla car and found a pistol,
loaded with six rounds of ammuni-
tion, In the glove compartment, they
said.
Taylor waa fined $51 on a charge
