Wright'g Strong Finish and
Clever Cinch Give Him

Bjr Jones Hall
Promoter Charlie Drake of the
Leonard Athletic Club opened hit
indoor season of boxing Monday
night, October 10, at the Recreation
Center before a capacity houte with
Kid Wright, the "Terror," and
Braddis Flowen, a Houston ama
teur pug and an all-conference foot-
ball tackle of Booker T. Washing-
ton High School football team of
Houaton. Both men entered the ring
a« champion! of their weight in the
Southwest, battling toe to toe the
•cheduled ten rounds as the main
event, Wright being awarded the
decision.
But as ring-side critics had pre-
dicted, Flowers provided the tough-
est opposition Wright has encoun-
tered here. The first few rounds
found both men fighting furiously,
Flowers getting the better of these
rounds and accomplishing something
no one else has in battles before
him here with Wright, that is to
draw blood from the "Terror." The
fourth, fifth and sixth stanzas ar-
rived with both men atill going
strong, and San Antonio's favorite
compelled to use all his ring gen-
eralship and tricks to curb the bid
of this young fighting demon. In
the seventh and eighth rounds
Wright put forth all his efforts to
finish Flowers, as the seventh
round is his favorite round to make
his men "count stars in their
sleep," but Flowers objected and
kept fighting. However, the "Ter-
ror" did floor Flowers in the eighth
just as the bell rang, with a short
hook on his chin Perhaps had they
l Xlghttnr three-mliiuta rounds,
this may have spelled the finish for
Flowers.
Last Rounds Furious.
The ninth and tenth found both
men using all they possessed, but
Wright finished stronger and used
his cleverness and experience to a
great advantage and breezed
through as the victor. A return
match is being arranged for a date
in the near future between these
two boys. Wright's next bout on
Monday night will be either young
"Tiger" Flowers of Arizona or Au-
gustin Suarez of Vera Cruz, Mex-
ico, both boys being clever fist-
wielders.
Other Bouts Good
The semi-final was fought be-
tween "Gunboat" Smith of this city
and "Battling" Ford, who claims
to be champion of the Houston "Y."
Gunboat knocked ihe champion and
his crown both all over the ring
before he decided to finish the
champion in the third stanza with
■ right uppercut to the abdominal

KNOXVILLE HONORS EDWARD
CORDON. OLYMPIC CHAMPION
Knoxville, Tenn.-(ANP)—Ed-
ward Gondon, Olympic broad jump
champion, was honored with a pa-
rade and a reception r.t the Austin
high school when he returned here
Monday. The program was par-
ticipated In by the mayor, John T.
O'Connor, other city officials, rep-
resentatives from the University
of Tennessee, the white high schools
business men's clubs and fraternal
organizations.
Mayor O'Connor Issued the fol-
lowing proclamation to all citizens
regarding Gordon's homecomii\g:
"Monday, October 3, marks the
return to Knoxville of Edward Gor-
don, one of the young colored citi-
zens, who was victor in the recent
Olympics in California in the broad
jump over other contestants from
all parts of the world.
"The Achievement of the young
colored man was so conspicuous,
and meant so much to the nation
of which he was a representative,
that his return to this city, of which
he and his family are citizens, de-
serves public recognition. The Ne-
gro citizens of Knoxville have been
thoughtful enough to plan a re-
ception and parade in honor of
young Gordon when he arrives at
the Southern station Monday aft-
ernoon, and a public program in his
honor and presentation of some
testimonial at the Austin High
school Monday night.
"In view of the signal achieve-
ment of this young colored man in
bringing honor to the United States
and to the city of Knoxville, I, John
T. O'Connor, mayor of the city of
Knoxville, take this means of
bringing to the attention of all of
our citizens this young man's re-
turn, of indorsing the movement
sponsored by his race to give pub-
lic recognition to this member of
their race who has been the means
of bringing high honor to his coun-
try, to our city, and to his race,
and of urging all of our citizens
who can to attend the public meet-
ing in honor of Edward Gordon at
the Austin High School Monday
night.
John T. O'Connor, Mayor."
cavity, Ford taking the full count
flat on his back in agony.
Laxy Daddy Sims did not live
up to his title in another bout,
while fighting Kid Brite, for he
was all over the ring and Brite,
too, before letting a terrific right
to the stomach fold his opponent
up for the count of ten in the fifth
round of a scheduled six-rounder.
Kid Ushr and Kid Tanner both
youngsters and neither weighing a
hundred pounds, fought cool and
calm like veterans as a curtain
raiser, fighting to a draw. The
capable Jack lnman was the man
in the ring, with Geo. Holley, an-
nouncer.
Defeats Dragons in
Hard-fought Game
Last Saturday at Langston,
Okla., the S. H. C. Dragons were
defeated by a 13-0 score. The first
score came by reason of a blocked
punt from Burleson, the Dragons
recovering but officials gave Lang-
ston the ball on the five-yard line.
Captain Burleson chose to give
them the ball and attempt to hold
them. This was in the first quar-
ter. The next touchdown was made
on two completed passes in the
last two minutes of play. Coach
Dalton's Dragons were led all the
way by Captain Burleson and Lang-
ston, who has an average of 190
pounds, was very conscious of the
170 pound averaging Dragons.
Aside from the officiating the
game was well fought and full of
enthusiasm from start to finish.
Langston made ten first downs and
Samuel Huston eight.
Boxers Will
Stage Benefit
Fight Card
By Jones Hall
The pugs of San Antonio will
give a benefit fight card Friday
night, October 14, at the Grand
Union of Colored Laborers Hall,
the proceeds going to the Ella Aus-
tin Orphans' Home to aid in the
continued building of the new home
which is being erected. The fight-
ers and officials are donating their
services and the trustees of the
Union Hall are giving the hall free.
Fight fans will get two results for
their money, for besides helping a
worthy cause they will see some
real scrapping. Stanle Matthews,
an old favorite of San Antonio, will
meet Geo. Dilworth in a ten round
main vent bout. The semi-final
will find Tiger Blackson and Young
Earl Richardson battling, which
should be a main event itself. There
will be plenty of action for both
boys are good. The curtains will be
raised with Battling Childs and Kid
Chuchu trading blows. .
Gosh! You've waited a long time,
but they'll be here at the close of
the Register's Big Cooking School
at Library Auditorium, October 28.
McKlNNEY'S COTTON PICKERS,
the best there is. Dance until 1a.m.
SPORTS TALK
By REUBEN McKINNEY
Well, here we are again with our
eyes centered on the big Dallas
classic, Wiley vs. Prairie View. In
talking to a few football prognosti-
cators, they say P. V. has a slim
chance in repeating their victory
over Wiley and the winning of the
conference championship. But this
football forecaster sees Prairie
View running through the confer-
ence for another championship. I
am not Prophet Pete, but I do pre-
dict Prairie View to beat Wiley
19-13.
"Watch those Panthers" is a
common expression of Prairie
Viewans to Wileyite*, but let us
not b« ao sure of a P. V. victory
until the game is over Monday, be-
cause Wiley pulls all kinds of
tricks in closing minutes of the
game if they are being defeated.
Some time ago, can't recall the year
—Wiley was playing Bishop Col-
lege to decide the conference
championship. Wiley's two back-
field stars were sick in bed and
Bishop took advantage of Wiley's
misfortune and was beating Wiley's
championship team out of the pen-
nant. When the two sick stars were
informed how the scores stood, and
that Wiley was about to suffer de-
feat, they quickly donned their
football togs and after the whistle
had started the last quarter of the
game, they entered the game with-
out the consent of the coaches, and
to the amazement of the spectators
when the whistle blew and the pis-
tol shot ended the game, these two
gallant heroes had marched across
the goal line with enough points
for victory to sadden the Bishop
cheering section. Those two heroes
were Elihu Scott, now coach at
Houston Junior College, and Leroy
Taylor, professional ball player in
the East. Again I saw Wiley beaten
in 1930 by Prairie View and the
game had two minutes to last.
Prairie View was leading 13-10 and
Wiley had the ball. Coach Long sent
in his aerial attack in which
"Runt" Johnson was throwing
passes from all angles. When in
the closing minutes he threw one
to "Streak" Evans, who in return
caught it as it was falling to the
ground after being touched by two
P. V. men and as he raced across
the line, the game ended. Wiley
students and Wileyites had given
up hope, but the team hadn't and
trying hard although time was
near, they fought the battle and
won. So let us not brag too much,
Prairie Viewans, because that team
is taught and trained to never give
up and that is the spirit that exists
in them throughout the game.
Speaking of school spirit, well,
I will tell you where it exists. It
is at the little red building on the
hill, Samuel Huston. The student
body, teachers, graduates and for-
mer students, say it is the good
old Sam Huston spirit that makes
them so crazy about the school.
This can be proven that they have
the spirit by a few of the Alamo
City citizens in the arguments that
prevail in the summer here with
other college students. Should they
produce a winning team over Wiley,
you Wileyites would really be
