MEMPHIS PREP LEAGUE
By WILLIAM O. LITTLE
Booker T. Washington regained
the prep league lead-Friday night
by defeating a rough St. Augustine
five 56 - 38 while Hamilton was
idle in prep play. It was the last
league game for both schools until
the city tournament, February 29.
The win cinched at least a tie for
the unofficial prep championship
for the Warriors. The champion
will be decided in loop tourney.
By whipping Melrose tonight, Hamil
ton can gain a tie for the crown.
Playing without the service of
Charlie Williams, the team's leading 
scorer, the Hamilton Wildcats
were handed their second licking in
as many games with the Woodstock
Aggies (34 - 20) Wednesday night
in the Blair T. Hunt Gymnasium.
The game got off to a dull start
with the Aggies holding a 7- 1 lead
at the end of the first quarter.
"Bullet" Ingram pushed a charity
shot through the cords to avoid a
shut-out. The game continued its
dull pace as the second stanza got
underway. Woodstock managed to
stay ahead on the accuracy of
forwards Joseph Scott and Don
Patterson and center James Green.
The Aggies played a slow, ballcontrol 
game; setting up its basketslead 
at half time, 15-6. Hamilton's
six pieces of rhythm played to the
approval of the small gathering
during intermission.
The Wildcats came to life at the
end of the third period. Behind
25 - 13, Davis Scored a foul shot.
Hamilton's chances got brighter
when Butler tallied from down the
middle and Davis's lay-up brought
cheers from the Hamilton rooters.
On the short end of the 27 - 18
score, the Wildcats short-lived rally 
was ended. The Wildcats were
through after that scoring but
one field goal in the remaining
time. The Aggies' Joseph Scott led
all scorers with 11 markers. His
team-mate, Patterson, garnered
eight.
Williams was dressed for the
game but a leg injury in the Covington 
game prevented his participation. 


Out-shot and out-fought, the St.
Augustine Thunderbolts, lost its
second prep game to the Warriors
from Booker T. Washington by a
56 - 38 score. The first quarter was
a see-saw struggle for seven minutes 
before the Thunderbolt's moved 
out front to take a surprising12-10 
initial period lead.
The Warriors fought back to hold
a 22 - 16 advantage at the half.
The Warrior reserves took over at
the start of the third stanza and
maintained an eight-point lead for
the first four minutes.
The Catholics got the better end
of an exchange of baskets, pulling
within four points of the Washingtonians 
who managed, however to
hang on for a 35 - 30 lead at the
end of the third quarter.
The Warriors, their line-up being
juggled again before the start of
the final period, preceded to sweep
the Catholics off the court, with a
fast break attack and stretched their
advantage to 15 points mid-way the
quarter.
The game, a rough one all the
way, was even rougher in the last
four minutes. Almost every time a
Warrior player was fouled, he was
knocked to the floor. However, they
managed to, leave the floor with
just floor scars Willie Collins,
Luther Nolen and R...Q. Venson
combined their scoring efforts to
lead the Warrior attack.

All participants of the last year's
workshop are expected to return in
March and more than twenty-five

new participants have already accepted 
invitations. These principals
and several city and state supervisors 
of education will come from
Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Florida,
Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee,
Oklahoma, and other states.

Mad Lads To Fisk
For Season Finale
The Amazing LeMoyne College
Mad Magicians will end a successful
cage campaign this week against
Fisk University on. Wednesday and
ring the curtain down against
Knoxville on Thursday.
The Mad Lads closed their home
season on a winning note by edging
Philander Smith College of Little
Rock in a 50 - 49 thriller last Tuesday. 
The Fisk Bulldogs, led by
Bernard Charles and Charles Gilliam, 
defeated LeMoyne at the
YMCA in December.
Since then, the resurgent Mad
Magicians lost but one home game
in 14 outings. The win that the
Mad Lads probably cherished most
was their upset of the high-flying(at 
that time) Xavier Gold Rush.
The LeMoyne attack is built
around the team's leading scorers,
center Clifford Brady and Charles
Cooperwood, who have hit over the
30 mark on two occasions. Also a
factor was the smooth ball-handling 
of James Graham. Coach
Frank Lewis's charges used a manto-man 
defense during the early
part of the season—then switched to
the zone.

For Negro Unity
Shortly after 
Walter Irvin was sentenced to

head of the Civil Rights
Congress, issued ah emergency appeal 
to the Washington Civil Rights
Mobilization urging the NAACP
leaders to put an end "to the artificial

of our varying, political philosophies 
or religious beliefs."
In an open letter to Walter White

Patterson, who recently petitioned
the United Nations for an end to
the genocidal killings and persecu
tions of Negro Americans declared "I
do not ask you; personally or any
of you renounce your political opinions 
or your religious convictions. I
do not call for the merging of our

intensify the struggle against those
who criminally deny to Negro Ame.

through their magnificent contributions

The veteran CRC leader, who led
the fight which saved the Scottsboro 
Boys in the Thirties and whose
organization recently fought for the
Trenton Six, Willie McGee and the
Martinsville Seven, continued.
"The organization you have the
honor to lead has never seen more
harrowing hours. Your leaders are
murdered and their homes bombed,
your followers terrorized. Your own
life is threatened, accentuating the
increasing persecution and terrorization 
of the Negro people.

Magicians Close Home shows
With Close Win Over P. Smith
The LeMoyne College Mad Magicians 
pulled the curtains on their
1952 cage season by edging tough
Philander Smith College 50 - 49 in
a breath-taking contest Tuesday,
night in the Abe Scharff YMCA
Gymnasium.
The gym was jammed to capacity
by LeMoyne rooter who came to
witness the finale of LeMoyne's
greatest cage season in the history
of the school, The Mad Lads were
led by James Graham who sent 19
points smoking through the nets—
mostly on his deadly push shots.
Clifford Brady spent most of his
time endeavoring to snuff out the
scoring efforts of big, six foot seven,
Jerry Johnson, PS's high-scoring
forward. Brady found time to
garner 16 markers while doing so.
Clayborn Wisham, who learned his
basketball at Scipio Jones of North
Little Rock, dropped in a push shot
to give Philander a 2-nothing lead.
With both teams using slow, ballcontrol 
tactics, the game Was slowed 
down to a walk in the opening
stages. Graham tied if up at 2 - 2
with a one-hander! then, "Big Jerry," 
as he is known to his teammates, 
scored seven of Philander
Smith's next ten points.
The Mad Lads, who suffered a 4643 
loss to Philander the night before 
at Little Rock, were anxious to
gain a split against the Panthers
before the home folks. LeMoyne
missed often - five straight free
throw attempts for example, before
substitute William McKinney dunk
ed a foul shot in the dull first
quarter.
Philander hiked its lead to 15 - 6,
then Brady sank two charity shots
followed by Graham with a field
goal to make it 15 - 10 George
Hadley, Graham, Brady and James
McDaniel tallied to bring LeMoyne
within one point (17-16) of the

Panthers.
The towering Johnson was retired
to the bench as a precautionary
measure after drawing his third
personal foul mid-way the second
quarter. The gallant Magicians
took the lead for the first time 2018) 
when Brady scored on a lay-up.
Philander forged back out front
briefly, before Brady's beautiful
hook from the side gave LeMoyne
the lead that they never lost until
late in the final quarter which they
entered with a 36-30 advantage.
With six minutes and five seconds
left to play, Charles Cooperwood
was sent to the bench on four
With Johnson back in the game
was obvious that ball-handling was
going to be an important factor.
This job was superbly done by
Graham and McKinney. Willis Holloway 
dumped an over-the-head set
shot from the corner to make it 4140. 
With LeMoyne clinging desperately 
to the one-point advantage, 
Johnson tied it up with a
charity toss.
The lead changed hands four
times before Brady put out the fire
with a lay-up to give LeMoyne a 4645 
margin. The incomparable
Graham struck again with a onehander 
from the corner that
brought the LeMoyne rooters to
their feet. McDaniel scored from
in close to make it 50 - 45.
With slim hope, Philander's Gene
Robert was fouled in the act of
shooting Behind 50 - 47, Roberts
elected to shoot one and take the
other out on the side.
Roberts missed the shot and that
was all except a brilliant tip-in by
Johnson. With 30 seconds left, LeMoyne 
put on the deep freeze act
with Graham and McKinney post
ting on a dribbling exhibition
Graham took high point honors
with 19. Johnson had 18 for PS. It
was only the fourth set-back for
PS., in 19 games.
