HAMPTON TEAM VICTOR
IN SEASONS BASKETBALL
National and intercollegiate Honors
Awarded Famous Virginia Players.

Hampton, Va.-The Hampton bas-
ketball team closed the 1915 season by
winning both the intercollegiate and
national basketball championship. On
Washington's birthday Manager Hoop
er, Coach Wetzler and the st. Christie
pher red and black machine journeyed
to Hampton confident of victory after
its great game with alpha" Since
the Hampton game in New York re-
Gently Coach Wetzler had got all the
cogs in his great machine well lubri-
Gated, and the Hampton-St. Christie
pher game will long be remembered as
the hardest battle ever staged here.
Hampton started the scoring, but
about the middle Of the first half st.
Christopher took the lead. Their Joy
was short lived, however, for Pop"
Gayle made four long shots from the
middle Of the floor, tying the score.
The first half ended 10 to 10. In the
second half Hampton took the lead
and kept it until the end Of the game.
The st. Christopher machine excelled
in spectacular passing, but Hampton
excelled in accurate shooting. Time
and again the machine" would carry
the ball down the floor with team work
that electrified the spectators only 70
find every man covered when they
reached the basket. The game was
fast and clean. Both teams, however.
made a number of fouls, Hampton
making nineteen and st. Christopher
eighteen. Hampton shot twelve field
goals and st. Christopher ten.
This makes the third straight victory
that Hampton has won over st. Chris.
TOPPER. The defeat was keenly felt by
the machine" as it wanted to defeat
Gayle. who played the most wonderful
game Of his career. He alone made
-twenty-six Of Hampton's thirty seven
points. His long, difficult shots at op-
perfume times saved the day for Hamp-
ton and defeated Wetzler and his great
system.
Gayle represented Hampton for the
last time, as he graduates this spring

Not only has he unusual skill, but the
self control and a spirit Of fair play
that have made him the favorite of the
country. Gurnoe, Gayle's running
mate for four years, also graduates, as
does Atkins.
Every man on both teams played for
life and death. For st. Christopher
the Jenkins trio did great work. Three
and a half minutes before the end Of
the game Coach Wetzler took excep-
ton to a decision by the referee and
seemed to want to take his men of the
floor. At this point Hampton had a
ten point lead. After much discussion
the point was conceded st. Christie
pher by Hampton's coach. This was
the feature that tended to mar the
greatest game ever played here.

THE SCOURGE OF A RACE.

Two Segregation Ordinances Passed by
st. Louis, Tuesday, Feb. 20.
Just as well planned antithesis may
be included in the formation of a SEN
tence the two race segregation Ordi-
nances voted upon by the people Of
St Louis on Tuesday, Feb. 20, received
q big majority on the eve Of the first
convention of the national defense COM
mittee, held in st. Louis on Friday and
Saturday, March 3 and 4. The c0nven-
ton was composed Of the mayors and
other representatives Of over 600 cities
Of the United States.
The segregation ordinances voted
upon by the people Of st. Louis Feb.
% were passed by Q majority vote Of
84,344, the vote being b2,22O for segre-
CATION to 1876 against.
The two propositions voted upon
were similar in character. One Of the
ordinances provides that a Negro or
white may not become q resident In q
block occupied entirely by those Of the
opposite color. The other imposes the
same restrictions in blocks containing
Is per cent white or the like percentage
Of Negro residents.
As both ordinances are adopted, the
second, being the more stringent Of the
two, will be effective. Neither ordi-
nance puts any restriction On the own
ership Of property, but restricts solely
the use Of property for residence pur-
poses.
Negroes who are employed in houses
or apartments occupied by white per
sons are unaffected by the ordinances.
Apartment house janitors who live in
the easements Of apartments occupied
by whites will not be affected.
Both ordinances contain clauses pro-
viding that the proposed laws shall not
affect persons at present living In
blocks occupied by members Of the
other race. Under the more stringent
or "75 per cent measure" only about
100 blocks will be available for Negro
residences.
