Globetrotters Headed
For WBNS-TV On 15th
The laugh-provoking "Harlem Globetrotters" will make
their second appearance on ''The
Sunday Sports Spectacular" in
two seasons on Sunday, Jan. 15
(2:30 to 4 p. m., EST), on-the
CBS Television Network (WBNS-
TV, Channel 10).
The Globetrotters, who have
played in 72 countries on all six
continents, will put their repertoire of basketball and buffoonery on display against the
Washington Generals.
Now in their 34th season, the
Globetrotters are led by Mea-
dowlark Lemon, the "Clown
Prince of Basketball." An excellent performer with a great
sense of timing, he pilots the
Globetrotters throu|h many of
their well-known comedy routines. Lemon and his mates,
who include Murph Summons,
the great dribbler, have added
a number of new routines to
their collection.
Xavier (agers Rest
CINCINNATI.—Xavier university's eager*, weary and rdi-
d.'sed with injuries, get a much-
needed and most welcome rest
after compiling an 8-3 record
over the first 11 gardes of the
season.
The Musketeers do not return
to the hardwood wars until Jan.
14 when St. Joseph (Pa.) university Invades Schmidt Me
mortal fieldhouse.
O WE HAVE BEEN fighting a losing battle with a cold bug
for the past week and, as a result, had to cover the Ohio-Illinois
and Ohlo-Evansville games from the television screen.
An idea of how unsatisfactory a medium this can be is gleaned from the fact that we djd not know that Jerry Lucas' injury
was serious until Sunday morning.
We did see that the Illinois sophomores have not jelled, as
they were no match for the poised and veteran Bucks.
BiliBurwell, the 6 ft. 8 in. sophomore center from Brooklyn
for the Illinl, showed flashes of form, both offensive and defensive, that should enable him to become a real star in the future.
He has a great name to live up to, because the name Burwell la
one of the greatest in Illinois football history.
# KEN LEE, the former Cleveland East High lad, got his
first "chance as a Buck to start Monday night against Evansville
because of Lucas' injury. Ken did a good job, after he got over
his stage fright, hitting the nets for seven points and hauling down
seven rebounds for the 27 minutes he was in the game.
Mel Nowcll returned to form In the Evansville game, after being below par in the last four games. It was he and Capt. Larry
Siegfried who throttled the small college champions* offense before they could get it set after the first ten minutes. Mel also got
his shooting eye back, hitting for 16 points.
We heard _ome>barber shop talk a few weeks ago and we hope
that that is not what has driven Mel off form. We do know that
well-wishers and friends, by ill advice, can wreck a great career.
We have seen it done often in the past to Negro stars by people
who thought they were helping them.
# JIM BROWN gained the most ground and Bobbie Mitchell
came up with the greatest clutch touchdown run, but the Cleveland Browns lost the playoff game to the Detroit Lions because
their place kicker could not come up with the big point when it was
needed. *|'
Mitchell took a short pass and ran 88 yards to put the Browns
within one point of a tie, with less than four minutes left to play in
the final quarter, but "Night Train" Lane broke through and
blocked Sam Baker's try for the point after the touchdown, and
the Lions had beaten the Browns for the eighth time in nine meetings.
The Browns have signed Tom Watkins, Iowa State fullback,
who was picked on several of the All-American second teams.
If Watkins can make the team at halfback, Coach Paul Brown
is expected to move Prentice Gautt to the running halfback spot
and Mitchell to the aging Ray Rcnfro's flanking back position.
Watkins will be Gautt's understudy at left half.
A TENNESSEE State college has been the top small college
basketball team for the past five weeks, despite the one loss which
the A-l five have on their record.
Paul Hogue, Cincinnati U. great center, leads the Cincinnati
squad in scoring with 206 points for a 17.2 average. Paul also
leads in rebounds, with 148 for a 13-3 game average.
Al Thackcr, the 6 ft. 2 in. sophomore, has a shooting average
of 10.3 points per game and a rebounding mark of 9.4 per game.
Omega Psi Phi fraternity will honor Bob Ferguson at the Neil
House on Jan.. 20.
• IF THE CLEVELAND Pipers accept the National Football
Ass'n's Invitation to join the professional group next season, it
will mark another milestone for Negroes in sports. The Pipers,
who are running away with the National Industrial League, not
only have Negro stars but they have a Negro coach, Johnny Mc-
Clendon, who first hit the headlines by coaching Tennessee State
college to the national championship among the small colleges.
If McClendon can be successful in coaching in pro basketball, it
will open another field to sepia athletes after they finish their
playing careers.
• TOE TEAM to beat in the local high school basketball race
is Linden McKinley. Linden will receive its toughest test Friday
night when they meet East, last year's champion. Linden is undefeated and East has lost one City League game. In an upset to
North last week. If East loses to Linden, she can kiss her championship hopes goodbye.

N. YORK.—(Special).—How did Clyde aT. Newton, ags 30 and
colored, fucceed in fooling officials of Manhattan's Beth Israel
hospital for thres years, passing as a resident pathologist on that
institution's payroll and staff?
They are unable to explain just why and bow they failed to
detect his deception for so long—in fact, until hist several days
ago, when a newly employed pathologist took over as head of his
department and unearthed his deception tn the forged records he
had furnished the institution.
Then Newton's masquerade began crumbling fast. On Jan.
12, he was arrested on four charges, based on what the district
attorney called his unlicensed practice-of medicine.
INVESTIGATION revealed that In 1997. Newton, without benefit of a medical degree, hired himself to the hospital as a resident
pathologist, under the name of ConneQ E. Newton, a practicing
physician in California, who had been graduated from Howard
university medical school just a year before the impoater entered
that institution, in -1950, only to flunk out a year later.
Contacted by officials, the real Dr. Connell Newton disclosed
that he had previously encountered the imposter, who had assumed his name and identity while a student at the University of Missouri, where he "went quite awhile before he was apprehended."
CLYDE NEWTON, born in Beaumont, Tex., and reared in
Kansas City, Mo., they found, had flunked out of three colleges.
In 1844, he flunked out ot Tuskegee Institute and entered the armed services. Then, after his discharge, he entered Kansas State
college on the CI Bill and his grades were so poor that he soon
left there. Later, be entered the University of Missouri and Quaked a post-graduate medical course.
Clyde's bail was set at $2500 on Jan. 19, but the doctors, with
whom he had associated at Beth Israel hospital, somehow still
liked that institution's former "resident pathologist." and proved
it by getting together and raising his bail.
Tbey refused to permit themselves to be identified, but nevertheless, Clyde E. Newton, imposter-extraordinarjr, is now at home
at 10 Nathan D. Pearlman pi., awaiting triad.
