TEDDY WILSON BARRED—-BUT THEY’LL USE HIS MUSIC

CHICAGO—According to reports reaching herefrom Hollywood, the new film, “Big Broadcast of 1937,”will use the piano wizardry of Teddy Wilson in the Benny

Goodman Trio sequence but picture moguls have decreedthat Teddy must not be seen. .Instead audiences will see

Jess Stacey seated at the piano as they listen to the teriflicswing of young Wilson.

In all fairness Stacy has done

even more balking than eitherTeddy or Benny at taking creditfor the work of another. Wilson

was persuaded to go through withthe recording after much protest.Benny Goodman himself raisedstrenuous objections but his handswere tied because of his contract.Bullheaded Paramount officials re-fused to reconsider. They are theones who must bear the brunt ofthis action—which is an insult toboth colored America and the en-tire music profession.

Teddy is acclaimed by most cri-tics as the greatest jazz pianist Inthe world today, although he isstill a couple of years shy of 25. Hehas appeared on many recordsmade by the entire Benny Good-man band. Planters of the Goodmantrio which, in addition to Benny onclarinet and Teddy on piano fea-ture Gene Krupa on drums, havebecome swing classics and evenoutsell discs made by the wholeband.

A few months ago the master ofthe clarinet broke all precedentand flatly overstepped popular ta-

boos by making Teddy a regularmember of the orchestra. Good-man was playing in Chicago at thetime and Wilson was brought herefrom New York. He appeared withthe ensemble at the big Congresshotel and took part in that seriesof Elgin broadcasts. When Good-man went to California so did Ted-dy. If the public has resented theidea of a Negro playing with anotherwise white orchestra, it hasfailed to become generally known.

There is no sensible reason tn

the world why musicians of simi-lar talents can’t ’perform togetheropenly. For years recording or-chestas have been interracial. Someof the strongest friendships everestablished have been betweenand colord artists. An orchestra issupposed to present dance mußicin the best manner it knows andnot Hitler propaganda.

Recently in New York at theHickory House, a Gotham capitalof swing music, Joe Marsala theclarinetist and Eddie Condon thebanjoist—both white—installed aband. The trumpter was Otis John-son, colored and no secret. On thefirst two nights Henry “Red” Al-len, ace trumpet king of the MillsBlue Rhythm band, sat in with thegroup. This band worked well andsatisfied all. They remained togeth-er until Riley and Farley, the“Music Goes Round and Round”boys, replaced them a couple ofweeks or so ago.

Over in London Benny Carter,heralded as the world’s greatestalto sax player, is working withone of the country’s best knownbands and is the toast of musicalEngland. His arrangements andmusicianship are given all the pro-minence in the world. Others haveand do work with white Englishbands. The British take the soundposition that good music is goodmusic.

Technicians know, no matterwhat Paramount thinks, thatGoodman’s success lies to a largeextent in his being the first whiteband to get an out-and-out Negroswing. The colored public knowsthat Fletcher Henderson’s arrange-

nents have likewise built Good-man up. And ■without Teddy Wil-son’s piano playing, the bandlacks something. Benny realizesthat, or he never would have hiredTeddy.

Meanwhile white experts makearrangement for colored bandsand Negro artists arrange for Nor-dics. Even Duke Ellington uses thework of two white boys and mostof the leading ofay orchestras fightfor arrangements by Edgar Samp-son. Don Redman, Henderson andothers. All top-notch bands of bothraces constantly seek writtenscores designed to bring out theirindividual strengths and nobodycares what is the color of the per-son rendering satisfaction in thisfield.

The day when a bi-racial orches-tra of musicians will be chosen fortheir ability regardless of color

! fast approaches. Paramount or noParamount. This Hollywood ac-tion should offer a direct challengeto musical leaders of this type whoare not afraid of the convictions.

Negro Coach Fired for RefusingTo Call White Man ‘Mister’

t

INCURS WRATHOF TEXANS ANDLOSES HIS JOB

Marshall, Tex.—While coloredDemocratic supporters were try-ing to find evidences of unusualrace prejudice in Kansas, home ofthe Republican presidential nomi-nee, white fellow-citizens and poli-tico! constituents of John M. Gar-ner, the Texan who is Vice Presi-dent and who hopes to succeedhimself in November, forced thefiring of Coach Brice Taylor ofBishop college for refusing to ad-dress a white saleman as “Mr.”

Mr. Taylor, one of the greatestathletes developed within recentyears and All-Pacific Coast guardwhile playing football at the Uni-versity of Southern California, wasgrid coach at Bishop until he wentinto a local auto salesroom andaddressed a white salesman by hisfirst name. Although the salesman,a college classmate, did not resentit, other whites present heard itand ordered Mr. Taylor out of theestablishment.

"When the coach went to a rivalagency and purchased a car, it wastoo much for the Oarnerites tostomach. A committee was formedand called on President Rhodes ofBishop to demand Mr. Taylor’s re-moval. They threatened to fireBishop students from local jobsand replace them with Wiley stu-dents unless the coach was remov-ed. Mr. Taylor is now gridironmentor at Sam Huston college inAustin, Texas.

In all fairness, Stacey has doneshow', which resulted in his ab-sence during the second, but thefolks never knew the difference.Everything was done as smoothlyas ever and with the same clock-like precision.

Joe Louis’ “Brown Bombers”,ace *soft ball team, staged a “come-back of their own last Sunday af-ternoon at Mack Park, when theyoutplayed the strong Olbru team,

3-1, to avenge the 12-4 setback bythe latter outfit earlieer in theseason. George Fields, ace Bom-ber hurler, was on the mound andlimited the brewers to 3 hits. Hu-bert “Fatstuff” Payne, snappyBomber slugger, contributed ahomerun to aid his team’s cause.

Joe was not there to see hisboy’s triumph as he was over inPhiladelphia winding up his train-ing for his battle with A1 Ettore.

The two teams met several weeksago in a softball tourney with Old-bru emerging the victors, 12-4, tohand the highly touted Bomberstheir worst defeat of the season.The game was played at night un-der the glare of the floodlights atMack Park and these bright lightswere believed to be the reason forthe defeat. Louis, who played in

i the first part of the game holdingdown the initial sack, was reported 1

I to have said after the game that 'he knew his team would win shouldthe two teams meet by daylight.Well it seems as if Joe has calledanother “shot” just as he has doneseveral times before in the ring.

The “Brown Bombers’’ are a col-orful aggregation, possessingspark; speed, power, and a will towin as they proved last Sunday.

Star Athlete Says He Is Tired Os BeingKicked Around

CLEVELAND—(ANP) —If the Northeastern OhioDistrict board of the A. A. U. has its say, Jesse Owens willbe reinstated as a full-fledged amateur immediately, forafter interviewing the Olympic hero last week, a telegramwas sent to Daniel J. Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the A.A. U., recommending his return to amateur standing.

However, it is not considered'likely that the suspension will beremoved inside of a year becauseof definite clauses in A. A. U. rules.Owens is under an indefinite sus-pension for failure to appera inmeets in Sweden and a year’s sus-pension for announcing publicly heis turning professional.

After interviewing Jess, Lewisi N. Bloom, president, and James A.Lee, secretary-treasurer of theOhio A. A. U., sent the followingtelegram to Ferris:

"After the personal appearanceof Jesse Owens and considerationof such facts as were available,the executive committee of the

Northeastern Ohio Amateur Athle-tic Association recommends theimmediate lifting of the suspen-sion ordered by the A. A. U.”

Owens, apparently disturbed bythe interview, said he was “gettingsick and tired of being kickedaround.”

"I’m no professional,’” he added.“I haven’t received any pay. Mystatus is the same as it has alwaysbeen. All they had was my state-ment in the past that I might turn

■ professional. I hope to be reinstat-|ed and intend to return to Ohio

' State and complete my studies.”

Sam Bishop, Northewestern Highcoach, seems to be wearing a pleas-

THEY’LL DOT THENATION’S (iBIDIROXS

Chicago—This is (he week whencollege football swings into action 1throughout the nation. The eyes ofDuskymeriea will be focused onlowa university where Oze Sim-mons, the Hula Hipped HawkeyeHog Hide Handler, will be makinghis supreme and final bid for All-American recognition and wherethree or four more sepia athletesare out for the team.

lowa starts Saturday in a warm-up game with little Carleton col-lege. This will give observers aline on what to expect and laysthe groundwork for the little get-together with Northwestern univer-sity in Evunston the following Sat-urday, Oct. 3.

It was two years ago in Octoberthat Simmons first leaped into na-tional fame by running the North-western Wildcats ragged. He hadbeefy linemen tackling one anotherin their sincere but fruitless ef-forts to stop the Sepia Sprite. Lastyear he did not fare so sensation-:ally, but even though a most de-cidely marked man he did keep thehuge crowd thrilled by his dervishdances and his greased hips.

Outside of this being his finalappearance before Chicagoans,there will be still another point ofinterest in the game. There isevery chance in the world that atleast five Negro players will be onthe field at one and the same time.And that ought to in itself set arecord of some sort for collegiatecircles.

At lowa, in addition, to theWizard of Oze, there is Don Sim-mons, a brother, who plays end;Homer Harris, another end, andWilbur Wallace, a quarterback.Wallace won two letters at his po-sition several years ago and hasreturned for the 1936 campaign.The combination of Wallace andFullback Simmons should providesufficient deception to keep opon-ents befuddled. Where in the pastthe foe has had to worry aboutjust one dark face, now they willhave two and might easily tackletho wrong man—especially if it’strue that “all Negroes look aliketo white people.”

Asa matter of fact, there wasstill a fifth Negro listed last yearas a backfleld possibility. He wasa lad named Lane, who comes from

i California. Observers in springtraining called him another OzeSimmons. Your columnist awaitsword from lowa authorities as towhether he is a candidate for theteam or has dropped out. If pre-sent, he likewise hears watching.

Northwestern has a sepia half-back named Clarence Hinton. Lastyear this lad as a sophomore sawlittle action but is being groomedto do big things in the presentcampaign. Although Hinton is ad-mittedly by far the fastest man onthe squad, he is handicapped byweight for little Clarence has trou-ble tipping the scales at 152pounds. Even a white boy in BigTen competition has need of moretonnage, whereas a colored ladwho must face the extra pressureput on him by Nordic opponents

has to be made of steel to stand up.Even Oze Simmons, who weighed170 in 1934, bogged down and itwas not until last year, at 185, thathe could go through the wholeseason.

At Northwestern last spring an-other youth tagged Benjamin Jef-ferson was being groomed as asure sensation this fall. Jefferson,a big 190 pound back from Michi-gan, was said to be a world ofstuff. However, he has not beenmentioned since practice began afew days ago.

But what a game that wouldmake: Hinton and Jefferson in theNorthwestern backfleld; Oze Sim-mons, Wallace and Lane in thelowa backfleld and Don Simmonsand Harris on the line!

However, plenty of other uni-versities will have their coloredstars. Minnesota’s powerhouse Isdepending on Dewight Reed, lastyear’s letterman at end, to proveeven more outstanding. With Reedin the line may be Horace Bell,brother of the Ohio State tackle ofa few years ngo. Bell, who suf-fered a broken nose in practicelast week, will see plenty of .actionas a guard. But more of Minneso-ta and other Big Ten sepia pro-spects later.

Loyola university, in Los Ange-les, has a gentleman of colorknown as Walt “Seven Yards” Mc-,'owen. He plays left half back andis hearled as the greatest passerever to enter Loyola. Asa sopho-more he will try to carry onin the
