Saturday: night after the Pigskin
banquet, I felt more like a skinned

Gridiron dinner, newspaper affair.
held annually in this city, put on
a new stunt and ribbed several of
the prominent personages in the
city.

One outstanding crack and in the
presence of Emmett: J. Scott: Jack
~t hear that there is another men
who was at Howard, who although.
he wasn't q football~ player, got a
considerable
eround by the world~s greatest.
amateur, yep, Emmett Scott. Boy
did he get kicked about.~ Doctor
Scott laughed.

After dinner, going to Jean~s in
the company of Clarence P.
Hayes. prominent mortician of
Richmond, Va., a former player
at Virginia Union if. you please;
Georgia Bryce, self-styled, greatest quarterback Howard ever had;
John T. Rhynes, prominent in
undertaking circles in Washing

host and n prominent dentist in
