are involved, but the future of the na-
tion's athletic program as well.
Good sportsmanship and excellent
performance on the playing field aud
exemplary conduct off field are all
bound up with a sound and success-
ful nstional athletic program. More-
over, the nation looks to its high
schools for its future stara and lead-
ers.
Our high schools cannot continue
to produce the best football, base-
ball or baitkcthull players if compe-
tition is curtailed or restricted within
rscial or regional groups because of
athletic riota. Excepting the rowdies,
the best high school sthletee should
compete for championship honors.
That is the beat guarantee for pro-
ducing the real All-Americans and
track, basketball and baaeball stars.
And the nation even now needs the
best. The United States Olympic com-
mittee, for instance, is seeking top-
notch track stars for the Olympic
games in Tokyo, Japan, next year.
Furthermore, if aports Is to con
tinue an a major factor in influencing
good nice relations, rioting, racism
and rowdyism must be kept out of
high school athletics.
Yet, little ban been said about
this problem editorislly, beyond the
acope of criticism. Few real solutions
have heeu advanced in the press.
Within the period mentioned, the
nation's high school gridirons have
been the scenes of seversl ugly riots
between Negro and white atudenta
bod any potential fight on the playing
field. Buch quick action has proven
successful in both college and pro-
fessional football. These are but a few
apparent remedies. There must be
others, and ita up to school and
sports officisls to come forward with
the required aolutions. Something
must be done for high school sport".
I have been greatly impressed and
encouraged by the manner in which
college-age youths have conductcd

November, for exsrople, a game be-
tween a white Catholic team snd a
predominantly Negro school in Wash-
ington, D. C., the nation's capitol,
ended in a shameful racial brawl In
which several white plsyers and spec-
tator were injured. And two weeks
sgo, on Krpt. "J-", in Chirsgo, players
and students from two predominsntly
Negro high schools rioted for an hour
following their gsme on the Univer-
sity of Chicsgo csmpus. Both the
Wsshington snd Chicsgo riots were
shocking. And yet there were others
like them. They Just hsppened to be
the most glsring esses.
After both the Wsshington and
Chicago riots, restrictions were put
on high school football gsmes. It
waa suggested, for instance, tiiat Ne-
gro and white teams not be matched
until racial tempera among the
yontha subside. The result: a les-
sening of top competition, for good
players are to be found la both ra-
Thankaciving day rioting to be ao re-
volting that aa interracial dtiaena
committee waa appointed to investi-
gate tha cauae and make recommenda-
tions. The committee's ultimate report
blamed the Negro atudenta for start-
ing the rioting and censored school
officials and parents for not ozer-
cising grester supervision and train»
ing of their charges.
Beyond these determinstions, how-
ever, I sm not clesr on what definite
steps have been taken to prevent fu-
ture prep riots.
Evidently, though, no solution baa
been found that wss considered ef-
fective enough to be adopted by other
citiea. For in the Chicago prep riot-
ing, achool officisls seemed in a quan-
dary to deal with the situation. It
seems thst whstever safeguards that
were uaed to forestall high achool
brawlings were woefully insdequate
in the esse of Sept. 20 incident.
Plsyers and students from Engle-
wood and Hyde Park high schools
were Involved in the Chicago riot-
ing, which took place in 8tagg field
at tha Univeraity of Chicago. It took
100 police a full hour to quell the
young rioters, snd 24 of them were
carted off to jail. Yet, atudenta told
police that the fight had been plan-
ned at least a week, snd this raised
the question of why officisls of the
two schools didn't learn about it be-
fore hand. What happened to the hon-
or system of the Student council that
police the activitiea of atudents at
theae schools?
Knglewood high won the game by
score of 31 to 0, snd apparently
the Hyde Park students took revenge
by engaging their opponents in fisti-
cuffs. A group of Englewood stu-
dents were forced to seek refuge in a
firehouse until they were rescued by
police. In turn, the Englewood stu-
dents vented their wrath by smash-
ing 24 windows in a school bus re-
turning them to their school. In the
end, University of Chicago officials
placed Stagg field with its fine fa-
cilities off limits to future prep foot-
ball games. Officials said they ' just
couldn't take the chance of having
the university facilities destroyed.
Chicago public school officials re-
acted by cancelling prep night foot-
ball games, at least for a while, and
an investigation into the rioting was
launched.
Yet, beyond these punitive meas-
ures, no long range action for solving
the problem has been announced. The
problem ia begging for aolution in
Chicago, aa elsewhere.
I do not believe that cancelling
prep games, day or night, is the an-
swer to the problem of high school
riotlnga and rowdyism. The real
causes, Including the lack of proper
discipline and training, both in the
classrooms and In homes, and de
facto aegregation In elementary and
high schools, particularly in the
North, must be tackled aa a first
step to aolving the problem.
Then, as far as athletics are con-
cerned, high school students must b«
told frankly that rowdyism and ra-
cial antagonism will not be tclcraM
on or off the playing field. It will
__jfage, rather than help, the U. 8.
Olympic team, or major league base-
ball or colleges to have potential
hoodlums on their squads. We can't
allow a few to ruin or aerioualy dam-
age prep sports.
Football officials, too, must be<
trained to act Quickli to nip in tha1
with dignity, prudence snd courage.
I believe these youngsters have been
responsible for pushing the civil
rights fight to the forefront by goad-
ing the establiahed civil rights or-
ganisations into greater milituncy.
I would like to be able to say the
same In prsise of high school man-
nerism and leadership.
NAACP Officials
Quit in East St.
Louis Hassle
Bj the Associated Negro Press
EAHT 8T. LOUIS, 111.—A total of
20 of the 24 members of the executive
committee of the East St. Louis
branch of the NAACP resigned last
week in protest over the firing of a
militant white youth leader assigned
to the area early this past summer.
James Peake, a 24-year-old white
paraplegic, bad become a subject of
controversy in a factional dispute
within the branch, after he led mili-
tant demonstrations here against the
Jefferson Bsnk aud Truat company,
allegedly without the authorization
of the national office or the knowl-
edge of the local NAA(T.
His difuniasal was announced by the
national office last week.
A series of what was described as
"disruptive*' sit-ins, lie-ins and other
forms of proteat were csjried out
sgainst the bsnk under the spontor-
whip of the Ht. Louis Committee of
Racial Equality to press demands
for the hiring of four more Negroes.
Miss Evelyn Roberts, president of
the local NAACP branch, said that
her group had never taken a position
in the dispute between the bank and
the committee, and declared that
Peake's participation in the demon-
strations gave the impreasion that the
NAACP was involved in the dispute.
Peake ia confined to a wheel chair,
but maneuvera it with unusual abil-
i *J-
"Ho wasn't assigned here and had
no business here," she said. But Glos-
ter Current of New York, national
director of NAACP branches, told the
praaa hero that Peake waa assigned
hero aa a "part-time temporary sum-
■er" represents tire. Ha aald he was
hired early in the summer to work
In Cairo and East St. Louis, but had
that hia term of office
would aspire ahortly.
WhUe the firing of Peake and the
factional dispute touched off the res-
ignstion of the 20 executive committee
members, Albert Brown, executive
secretary, said they came as a result
of the refusal of the national organ-
isation "to five us an opinion on di-
rect action on lew violations."
Brown aald the resigning board
members are opposed to the extra
legal actiona in promoting the cause
of civil rights. The Rev. W. E. Whar-
ton resigned as branch president on
Oct. 10 after criticising the methods
of Peake and the NAACP Youth
council here.
The nsmea of the resigning board
members were not immediately dis-
closed. Neitner was it Btated what
action the national office planned to
patch up the factional dispute here.
