"Penn State students can de pend on our team to do its best," ,added the Hig. "We know it will be one of our tougher games, maybe the toughest we've been - died upon to play in the last two years. However, we're in pretty good condition physically, and I think we'll make a good -nme of it. "It would be a tribute not only the team but also to the insti tution we represent if our crowd proved itself to be composed only of sportsmen at Philadelphia."

PENNi3YLVANIA Jim Crow- (Continued from page two) afternoon two of her uncles, Jesse and Cicero Davenport, told her that Henry was back in Hamilton jail, that they had talked to him through his cell window. Friday morning, "happier than I could tell you, Mr. Crawford," at the news that her husbans was alive and well, she bustled through breakfast and got ready to go to Hamilton to see the hus band she had feared was dead. She was all dressed and was waitin gfor a neighbor to drive her into town when another neighbor, Willie B. Andrews, came in. A white man, Mr. Louis Booker, had given Willie word to carry to Mrs. Gilbert. Her husbans was dead. She'd find his body in a '-i amilton undertaker's rooms. Thursday night County Police man Willie H. Buchanan had gone into Henry Gilbert's cell. "To get a confesion," he said afterwards. "The nigger drew a chair on me and I had to kill him," he ex plained. Here is what the undertaker found when he fixes Henry Gil bert's body up for burial: His skull was crushed to a pulp both in front and the rear. One leg and one arm were broken. All the ribs on one side were smashed into splinters. He was riddled by five bullets fires at close range. That is what Georgia justice offi cially describe as "justifiable homicide in self-defense." And Willie Buchanan, wanton killer, is "man of the year" in Harris and Troup Counties. The white folks gave Carolyn Gilbert less than a month to mourn her murdered husband in peace. Then comes Sheriff Hilyer again with another "aiding-abet ting-escape" warrant and Carolyn goes to the same jail where her husband was murdered. She's only there twenty-four hours, however, before Attorney Dan Duke, the man who smashed the Columbians, has her out on $l,OOO bail. "I just don't understand those white people," says Mrs. Gilbert. "If Henry had an enemy in the world it was Gus Davidson. He was a bad man. He came into our church with a gun and threatened one of our deacons. Henryhad him jailed for that. And right then Gus Davidson told Henry he'd get even. So did his father, Lovett Davidson, and so did Lovett Davidson's white man, Luke Sturdevant." At Mrs. Gilbert's preliminary hearing when she was held for court Davidson testified he had seen his fugitive son eating break fast in the Gilbert home. "Why I wouldn't have let Gus Davidson sit at my table. I wouldn't have let him come into my house at any time—let alone when he was being hunted for msrder," declared Carolyn. Sheriff Hilyer himself pinned perjury on both Davidson and Sturdevant, but a justice of the peace held Mrs. Gilbert for trial. Now word from Harris County is that the white folk want to drop the case against Mrs. Gilbert and just forget the whole thing. It won't make much difference to the dry-eyed, huddled woman in the chair across from me. Her life is finishes. And the life that Henry GOOD NEWS !

Happy to Hear News Don't Understand Lowther Eyes Prospects As Cagers Hold Drills Under the watchful eye of Coach John Lawther, 75 candidates for the Penn State basketball squad are working out daily at Recre ation Hall. Gone from last year's starting live are Jack Biery and Irwin Batnick, who represented most of the scoring punch of the Nittany Lion quintet. Coach Lawther will have 12 veterans returning, how ever, including Milt Simon, Carl Nordbloom, Terry Ruhlman and John Kulp. In addition, a number of soph omores have shown promise of plugging some of the gap left by the loss of Biery and Batnick. Coach Lawther will also be con fronted with the task of cutting the squad to 25 men, in prepara tion for the Lions' opening en counter with Pitt. No doubt a bulk of the Nittany Lions scoring attack will be pro vided by Captain Milt Simon. He played a major role in many of last year's games and it is ex pected that his experience should prove a point in the Lions' favor. Appearing somewhat optimistic, Coach Lawther stated that this year's team would be stronger than last year's because it will have more experience and a bet ter quality of reserve material. and Carolyn Gilbert had built out of toil and struggle through the years is finished, too. Married for 22 Years "Twenty-two years we were married before the white folks killed him," she says, and there is not a sign of emotion in her voice. "We share-cropped two years and I worked with him in the fields from the day we were married. Then we saved enough to buy us a little ols mule and we went to rentin'. We worked 17 years on our rented farm and saved our money until we had $1,350. So we bought us a farm a few miles out of Chipley. It was 111 acres and run down pretty bad. But we built it up, Henry and me, working from daylight to dark. "Henry borrowed $l,OOO from the man at the bank axis he let Henry have it just on his note. We had the whole farm wired in. We had nine cows and four big hogs and two mules. Henry worked one of the mules and I worked the other. But we 'didn't let the girls work in the cotton. Henry wanted learning for them. So they all went to high school in LaGrange. Two of them go to high school here now and the other one grad uated and works in Mr. Rich's store. "Henry paid back the thousans dollars he borrowed and the bank man lent him $6OO more. Henry worked on the house, too. We had five rooms—big roms and screens on every window and he screened in the whole back porch too." All of this, the murder of her husband, the simple story of her life, without a tear, without a tremor in her voice. Suddenly she drops her head in her hanss and sobs shake her. "Every night I keep asking God to help me. But I don't know what he could do. Help me pray. Pray for me." Me, a white man—even though she thinks I'm black—pray for Carolyn Gilbert. Who would listen?
