BEAU JACK,~THE NOBLEST ROMAN~ |
NEW YORK.~(ANP)~Friday nite, Feb, 21, will live

_ By ALVIN MOSES

ATING THE GUN

$98.053 into Madison Square Garden's till to see Tony Janiro,

doughty white warrior out of Youngstown,., floor Beau Jack

(first time in his life); and score a TKO victory in the fourth

of a scheduled 10 rounder.

WROTE AGAINST THE MATCH

Vincent Nardiello claimed was ~a broken kneecap. I wondered.0w many persons were able to tell from the expression on the
x-bootblack~s paif distorted face that his ~heart~ was sma-h-d as well? A be
Six weeks ago I wrote a piece on Beau Jack vs.. Tony Ja_iro from which I quote these Ines: ~I think Beau Jack's hand-rs are dead wrorfig in sending him back to the wars so scon. his kneecap was actually broken. It often requires, six months
-o a year for a fighter to regain the strength of so important a

~member to his trade, and a cutie like this Janiro youngster,

night be smart enough to causé Jack to further hurt the injured limb thereby ending one of the most colorful dareer's
modern boxing has known:~~ Ee 3
WAS HALF SHOVE-HALF SOCK ae |

Tony Janiro fought a spirited ba~tle against the battllingest gamecock we have ever seen in act~on. It is no discredit
when I state that the incident leading to the Beau Jack knock

~down in the fourth and final heat was something more than a
legal punch. ~| [

_Jack,. backed heavily in the betting ~ac 1 to 2 due to his
brilliant Garden performances in the past, was engaged in a
spirited exchange with the flashier boxing Ohioan near the ropes
at the east end of the ring. Suddenly it happened. Competent
ringsiders agreed with me that Janiro, accidently or on purpose, shoved Jack before whistling over a: wallop that seemed
harder than those the Beau had sopped up in the three previous rounds. Jack went down on his back, the first time his
haunches had touched ring resin in that manner in some 100
campaigns. ~

It was evident to me that Jack had injured his leg in
some manner not immediately discernable. At the count of
eight Jack stood upright, after the fashion of a one--legged
man looking for his misplaced crutch. 1 sensed what. was
wrong then and said so. excitedly to a newsman who. agreed
with me unhesitatingly.

it was then we saw one of the finest exhibitions of cour--
age in a prive ring. Janiro was on the Beau like a wildcat for
ne kill. Bracing himself for Tony's charge, Jack gave as good
as he received despite what must have been excruciating pain
and agony. As long as the exchanges were toe to toe Beau was
all right. He started to move in another direction and it was
while shifting the weight of his body to his left leg that this
member gave away and the colored warrior sank to the floor.. Things happened rapidly after that. Referee Eddie Joseph ran to the stricken gladiator's side and Dr. Nardiello
spurted up the ring steps and entered the battle zone to examine Jack. One look was enough for the medic and soon the
stretcher bearers were on the way to the agonized Beau Jack.
Our tally sheet showed. the: milling fairly even up to: the~ tragic
ending of what promised.to be a sensational battle.

SAVANNAH, Ga. ~ANP
Resignation of Dr. Benjamin F.
Hubert as president of Georgia
State college, was anounced from
the office of the state board of
regents in Atlanta last. week.

Dr. Hubert~s resignation was
co-incident to the annual election
by the board of heads of the 16
units comprising the Georgia
University system.

~

Dr. Aaron Brown, for the past
five years president of Albany
State college, and Dr, C. V.
Troupe, president of Fort Valley
State college, were reelected for..anothr term.,

It is understood that Dr. Hubert will devote his time to fur-.ther, development of the Log
agricultural praject. He had served as president of the Savanah

toast of Harlem and Augusta will be back at his own.home gchool for nearly two decades.

DUGGER AND DILLARD SUPERB

Time was when America~s top hurdlers were white. To
day the two timbeitoppers who hold the highest:place in th
hearts of track fans are both colored. Harrison Dillard, cur.
rent season~s phenom of Boldwin-Wallace college, and ~Vufts'

superman, Eddie Digger. In the case of Ditlard as I have ob-.

served before, he shipes up as the finest high-hurdler aay nation has developed since the unpleasant 1936 Berlin Oiympics.
These games were miarred by ine very presence of Adcif fitler and his sadistic Storm Troopers whose attitude towards
the sepia contestaiits wiio clinched the U. S. victory thru their
prowess, stands as an index of what
should not embody.

three year~s absence, is picked by Rickey and Durocher to be

-etc., has died down somewkat; all but the editorial~ pieces
white writers get off ever and again in New York dailies; scan
this piece from the pen of Lou Burton, N. Y.- Journal-Amer
~I believe basically, that Ray Robinson and Rocky
Graziano committed the same sin. They both told lies about
bribe offers that were never made. Graziano~s lie named the
figure $100,000. Robinson's lie named the figure $25,000
and mentioned it was to have been a bribe not to have made
weight, or in effect, to give up his chance for the welterweight
championship which he later acquired. >

~| believe Graziano, having fabricated, didn't know how
to like his way back to righteousness. Robinson did a slightly
better job-of lying (assists from George Gainford) out of the
original prevarication. So he got off with a $500 fine and a 30
day suspension. One goat was enougn, and Graziano was that

goat. Robinson did not get so deeply involved and he went

off lightly.

Prior to his election to the Savannah presidency, he was associated with the agricultural departments of South Carolina State
college, Orangeburg and Tuskegee
instiutte.

Hybrid Corn
In 1945 more than 58 million acres
were planted to hybrid corn varieties, according to the department
of agriculture. Since 1938, when 15
per cent of the corn acreage was
planted to hybrids, there has been
an increase each year of from 5.7
per cent to 8.6 per cent, or close to
7 million acres. In the corn belt
states, hybrids are estimated to
have increased yields at least 20
per cent over the open-pollinated
varieties

Diet for Old People
Older persons should reduce the.
calorie intake, go light on fats,
sweets and starches. The need for
vitamins and. minerals remains
about the same in old age, so meals
should contain liberal amounts of

milk, fruit and vegetables.

Railroad Securities
Railroad securities outstanding in
the hands of the zublic on January
1, 1946, amounted to $15,667,000,000
as against a total investment in railroad property, after allowing for de
preciation, of $22,585,000.000.
