DEFEAT OL|vET
IN A FINE GAME
Maroon And Cream Kept Up Its
Hot Pace Towards NJ. /. A. A.
Title BY Two Point Win.

"Olivet came to Alma to roll up a
great big score" and they got good
sized score-but Alma's was two
points larger. The Crimson team had
recently been victorious over Adrian
and was fast, well-trained, heady
group of basket shooters. 1t is un-
officially rumored that they expected
to win the game.
Taken as a whole il was "a clean,
well-played, thoroughly enjoyed bas-
ketball game. Referee Billings kept
the game moving, without allowing
unnecessary roughness. He seemed
able to distinguish between intention
al rough playing and simple over
anxiety, which cannot be said Of last
weeks ump. Both teams seemed to
sense his good management and
played clean basketball. Richards
was easily the star of the game,
getting no less than eight field
baskets-sixteen points Captain
Smith was close behind him with six,
while LaMonte of Olivet is credited
with seven.
The first half of the game was de-
cidedly Alma's. Olivet got the first
basket but Alma soon picked up and
kept drawing away from the Crimson
until at the end of the half the score
stood % to .13 for the home team.
Some of the best basketball seen in
the local gym this year took place
in this half. The score might have
been larger yet, but Smith missed
some shots he ordinarily gets. Never
theless, the captain was on the tear
throughout the game, and deserves a
great deal of credit for the game he
played. Richards got five baskets in
this half LaMonte, four; Smith,
three.
In the second half it Jared much
worse for Alma. Indeed, possible de-
feat or tied score loomed up as the
game drew to a close. The Alma
lineup was changed, Anderson taking
the center position, Richards going to
q forward, Medler to a guard position
This combination did not prove az
happy as the one of the first half,
given in the summary In fact, Olivet
outplayed the Maroon and Cream in
the second half, getting 10 points to
Alma's ~. The Crimson kept gain
ing until Alma's originally large lead
became endangered. Ards was sub
stituted for Anderson and later Gaff-
ney for Ards, in an attempt to stop
the Olivet scoring, but the crowd
was praying for time to be up in the
last few minutes.
The game finally ended with Alma
still two points in the lead. Richards,
Smith, LaMonte and Herrick each got
three field goals apiece in this half
and were the largest scorers.

DRAFT DANGEROUSLY
CUTTING FARM LABOR
Farmers Fear For Crops If Some
Action Is Not Taken BY
u. S. Government
BALTIMORE COUNTY ACTS

Discussing the departure from An
napolis yesterday of over two hundred
colored men. who were sent into the
draft army, and most of whom came
from the rural sections of Anne Arun-
del, many of the farmers in Annapolis
today expressed fear for their crops if
some action is not soon taken to draft
labor for farm work.
The situation was said to be such
that unless ~an extension of time is
granted to many men subject to mili-
tary call. n large quantity of food
stuffs will be lost.
So serious has the situation become
that farmers from Baltimore County
yesterday held a meeting in Baltimore
to discuss it in all its phases. How
ever, no organized action has been
started in this county.
Unless something is done immedi-
ately and unless a great deal of dis
cretion is employed by local draft
boards in the State in the future. lots
of food in the fields will go to waste
and will be lost" said Mr.. Shoemaker.
President of the State Board of Agri-
culture. II know and every one of
these farmers knows that we have got
to have an army of fighting men TO
win this war. but at the same time that
army has to be fed. We can't expect
to exempt everybody and there can't
be differences but when men are the
keymen on the farms every effort will
be made to have their call deferred un-
til the crops have been harvested"
Adjutant General Warfield, who was
asked to attend the meeting but was
unable to do so, declared. when asked
about the question, that there was only
one thing to do. and that was to ask
the local board to reopen individual
cases.

War Industries Beard Appoints MIR.
Harry J. Hopkins As Local
Chairman For Work Here

Are there any merchants, or pro-
fessional or other business men in An
napolis now employing men who can
substitute women for the jobs now
held by males? This is what the War
Industries Board Of the State, headed
by A. S. Goldsborough, of Baltimore.
which has recently divided Maryland
into industrial sub-regions, wants TO
know.
Announcement was made yesterday
afternoon of the appointment of Mr.
Harry j. Hopkins to the position of
chairman for sub-region No. 8, includ-
ing Anne Arundel, Calvert, st. Marys,
Charles and Prince Georges Counties.
However, Mr. Hopkins, in view of
his duties in connection with the Lib
erty Loan drive just coming on, to-
day communicated with Mr.. Colds
borough and asked TO be excused from
ss1ming the additional duties.
Under the plan, every employer is
urged TO release as many men as pos
sible for essential war work and to
employ women in their places
The women are urged to volunteer
to take the places of men who go into
essential war work
The government has asked Mary
land to put 14.456 men now engaged
in less essential work into the war
plants. BY doing this it will not be
necessary for Maryland to draw on
other States for labor.

DRAFT BOARDS ASK
BETTER PROTECTION
Wisdom OF Action OF States Attorney
Green Shown BY Assault Com
mitted In Baltimore

The wisdom of States Attorney "
II. Green, in inaugurating here
through his request TO the Federal au-
thorities for uniformed assistance in
handling colored draftees, in Quanti-
ties such as were sent away to Camp
Dix yesterday morning without the
slightest show Of insubordination or
trouble was amply illustrated in Balti-
more with members of the colored
draft from that city.
At the headquarters of Baltimore
Draft Board No. II a draftee named
Lucas. who was feeling particularly
good exercised his muscles rather free
ly, and in striking out at an inoppor-
tune moment one of his fists came in
contact with one of DR.. George Hem
meters eyes. The physician, who is a
member of the board, wore his glasses
at the time. One of the lenses was
broken and the eye cut. The draftee
was hustled with his fellows off TO
Union Station accompanied by a dem
strative throng of friends and rela-
tives.
At another draft board room a col
ored draftee exposed a big automatic
revolver as he went over to sign his
name. and when he went over too far
it slipped from his pocket to the floor.
Had this fellow been quarrelsome or
been drawn into a fight while on the
train there might have been some
shooting.
