flae slim margin of one point, the
final score. being rs to 25. in a
hattie that was replete with thrills,
hrfIliant plays, spectacular shots,
and hair-raising incidents. The
lead changed hands no less than
five times. and neither team had
q lead of more than three points.
Whitley Daniels could have tied
the score, if he had Gagged Tree
shot from the 15foot mark, but ne
missed and then the whistle blew,
ending the hostilities.
Daniels started the scoring by
caging one from the line or free-
dom. quickly followed by another
from the same zone. Nader knotted
the count with a pretty shot from
the side court and the Collegians
forged ahead when Nader dropped
in a one-pointer. The quarter
ended with the score 8 all. Peter

the floor and Nader annexed an
other point with a free shot, but
Spiess kept the southwest quint

Hardly had play been resumed
when Nader dropped the sphere in
the cords, following this with toss
from the free section. The quarter
ended with the collegians leading by
q lone point, the score being % to
%. The guarding was SO close dur
ing the last period that the Domini
can quint was unable to register a
field goal, but added three points
~on foul goals. Meyers tied the score
by caging basket and Nader placed
the collegians in front with free
shot. Then a collegian player com
mitted foul just a second before
the whistle, but Whitley Daniels fail

P|NCH0T RUM WAR
TURNED ON CLUBS
Philadelphia Places Warned
by Dry Authorities to
Respect Law.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The star.
PHILADELPHIA. October Coo
incident with Gov. Pinchot's joint
federal-state campaign to put the
rum traffic out of business in Phila-
delphia, there are indications that
the anti-liquor activity will not be
directed solely against the saloons.
While agents of the Department
of Justice and the state troopers were
serving shutdown orders on the
saloonkeepers, Philadelphia clubs re-
ceived notification from the Wash
ington prohibition authorities that
they must respect the dry laws. AS
O. result Of this demand. which came
from Edgar Cole. representing Com
missioner Haynes, virtually all the
local clubs have notified their mem
bers that the use of liquor is for.
bidden within the clubhouses. 10
This action was taken after Mr..
Cole had appeared before the boards
the penalty that would be imposed
for violations. -
Woman to Take Charge.
Mrs. Mabel WiIlebrandt, an assistant
attorney general at Washington and a
personal friend of Mrs. Clifford Pinchpt.
will direct the remainder of the CAM
paign against the Philadelphia saloons.
She will arrive here Monday, and al
though her purpose will be to make an
address before the forum, she will con-
fer with the enforcement authorities,
and probably take immediate steps look
ing to the closing of the city's barrooms
by federal injunction proceedings.
Mrs. Willebrandt had been put in charge
of all prohibition enforcement cases
handled by the Department of Justice.
Thus tho enforcement of the order in
Philadelphia comes within her scope.
Faith i'm Paddock Law.
There is the utmost confidence among
authorities at Washington that recourse
to the paddock provisions of law will
have most salutory effect in Phila-
leIphia. There is no faith in the eff
cacy of nominal fines. but the weapon
of the paddock" is counted upon to
bring the saloon men to terms.
Criminal proceedings as well as civil
actions to paddock their premises may
be taken against Philadelphia's defiant
saloon men, according to Department
of Justice officials. Charges of violating
the Volstead act and also the Penn
sylvania prohibition law may be launch
ed against many of the saloon keepers
against whom evidence Of having sold
ilIAPs' ,invor has been obtained.

WALTON MAY BID
LEGISLATURE MEET
Step Considered as Last Re.
sort-Members Prepare to
Hold Session Either Way.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY. October g.
Oklahoma's political chaos assumed
further complications today as MEM
bers of the state Legislature prepared
for their second attempt to convene
in extraordinary session to consider
J. c. Walton.
With legislators reported already
gathering for the assembly on Octo-
ber IT. attention was focused on the
executive mansion. with the expecta-
ton that Gov. Walton would define
his attitude toward the meeting.
From we'll informed sources came
the report that Aldrich Blake, the ex-
ecutive counsellor. would not consent
to use again of the militia to halt
as to say that as a last resort he
would recommend that the governor
call the Legislature in a final coup
detat. What the executive could
hope to gain by such a stroke. how
ever. remained problematical.
Meanwhile, new element entered
the situation. A group of women an
nounced that they would join forces
with Gov. Walton to prevent the leg
islature from meeting under a con-
stitutional amendment passed in last
Tuesdays election.
Incensed. at the Sacrifice" made of
q constitutional amendment estab-
lishing the eligibility of women as
elective state officers, the women de-
clared they had employed counsel to
press the governors application for
an Injunction to restrain the state
election board from certifying the
election returns
They claim that the amendment
which they sponsored failed because
of the excessive interest displayed in
the Legislative amendment, since it
required a majority of the total vote
cast to pass. Four other amend
ments. including one permitting a
soldiers bonus, were defeated by the
enormous vote polled on the legisIa-
tive question.
