Football's Dusky Hero,That, football is not exclusively a

white man's game has been demon-strated in the past by Thorpe and oth- jer Indian gridiron stars, and now jcomes Fred Pollard, the negro halfbackof Brown University, with a recordthat cannot be overlooked by thedopesters of the inevitable all-American elevens. In almost every line of |jathletics, Amateur and professional,the black man has won a place forhimself. In the old days Moses Walkier, a catcher, and Frank Grant, a secondbaseman, were stars in league

| ball, until the unwritten law barredj colored men from the diamond. In' pugilism there have been scores ofgreat boxers of African descent, startingwith Tom Molineaux, who was

really the first world's champion, althoughtricked out of his honors; andincluding such names as Peter Jackson,George Dixon, .Toe Gans, JackJohnson. Sam Langford and JoeJeanetto.
