SENATE MUST PASS
|ON ROOTS FORMULA
Ratification of U. S. Entry in
World Court Necessary,
Members Think.

By the Associated Press
If the Root formula designed to clear
the way for the adherence of the United
States to the World Court is accepted,
the question of Americas adhesion will
probably be fought out in the Senate.
All members of the Senate who have
publicly expressed an opinion declared
that Senate ratification seems to be
necessary, even if the suggestion to re-
draft article " of the 1926 protocol is
agreed to by the countries concerned.
Senators Walsh of Montana and Swan
son of Virginia, both Democrats and
both supporters of this country's adj
herence to the Court. have declared
that the Root formula was satisfactory.
but they have also declared that they
believed Senate ratification necessary.
1t Is regarded as certain if the ques-
ton comes up in the Senate, that there
will be vigorous fight made against
adherence by some members who have
been consistently opposed to adhesion
by the United States. Walsh indicated
that he thought the matter might be
taken up at the special session.
Chairman Borah of the Senate for
eign relations committee has been
foe of American entry into the Court.
and while he has not made his present
attitude public in detail. 1t is known
that he is against adhesion as long as
there is possibility of the Court being
able to render advisory opinions over
the opposition of the United States.

CH|LDS IS BUSTED
FROM CAFE CHAIN
Founder and Family Lose
Control by 60 Per Cent
Vote of Shares.

Ey the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 8.--The name
"ChildS" on countrywide chain of res
taurants was little more than trade
mark today. William Childs, its founder
and his family were out Of control OF
the company.
William Childs went down fighting
but was stopped at every turn by his
opponents, who voted proxies represent
ing so per cent of the company'S ALL
600 shares of stock.
From the platform where he presided
over the annual stockholders meetings
yesterday as chairman of the board of
directors, Childs at last conceded vic
tory to the faction headed by William
A. Barber, former attorney general OF
South Carolina, and in a voice choked
with emotion announced he was
through.
This company" he said, "is the child
of my efforts. When you take this
child away I am through. Defile it if
you will, but shall never come back.
I wonder what will happen to this thing
that Wall Street wants. I want nothing
to do with the sort of board that
will come out of a deal like this.
am surprised we are turned down, but
might makes right and nothing is so
strong as money!
Withhold Proxies.
The Childs' faction withheld their
proxies from filing, which brought
charges from the floor that they we're
seeking to prevent a legal quorum and
adjourn the meeting.
Then, after conceding the Barber fac
tons majority, Childs sought to arrange
a compromise through the appointment
of neutral board. This was defeated
when Joseph F. Cotton. counsel for the
Barber group, voted the so per cent of
stock against 1t.
Then Childs delivered his valedictory
address and the new board Of directors
was elected. replacing william Childs,
his wife, two borthers and two nephews.

Senator Walsh regards the Root
formula as a substitute for reservation
v, which was adopted by the Senate
three years ago when adherence to the

Reservation v stipulated that the
Court should not render advisory

@H1CAGo. February 26.-The
scramble for the Western Con-
ference basket ball champion
~ ship had narrowed down to
Wisconsin, Michigan affair to-
day.
The championship may be settled
next Monday, when Wisconsin invades
Ann Arbor for Michigan's final game.
Wisconsin has the edge in that it can
drop the game and still tie for the title,
as only the weak Chicago team remains
on the Schedule game that should
be an easy victory for the pace setting
Madison outfit.
But to be in running when the two
leading teams meet Monday, Michigan
must first dispose of the troublesome
Ohio State quintet at Columbus Satur-
day night.
Wisconsin definitely disposed of Pur-
due as title contender at Madison
last night, dropping the Boilermakers,
81 to "a. The defeat gave Stretch
Murphy and his mates record of seven
victories and three defeats, with two
games to play. Wisconsin has dropped
only l of its 10 encounters, and that
to Michigan early in the season, while
Michigan has lost of it's 10 games.
Michigan failed to display the style
of play that has carried it to a position
as title contender, but managed to
down Minnesota, % to 10. Only ac-
curate free-throw shooting gave Michi-
gan its victory.
Ohio State demonstrated that it Is
still a powerful quintet. crushing what
ever hopes Iowa had of remaining high
in the standings, AZ to %. The victory
gave Ohio State undisputed possession
of fourth place with six victories and
four defeats. Iowa scored only two field
goals in the first half, which ended IS
to 8.
Northwestern made it two straight
over the Indiana five, winning, % to Is,
in an overtime period.

Maryland's varsity basket ball squad

The Old Liners have won their last
three games from State rivals-Navy,

that won the tournament title last year.
Mississippi, like the Old Liners, has
not measured up to its 1923 form, as
it has captured only of Is games

is having great difficulty in picking his
men to make the trip. He will take

ing that he would not run. This letter,
written last Friday afternoon, Quist
says, was not received at A. A. U. head
quarters until yesterday. QuiSt believes
| the delay was due to the fact that
Nurmi posted it on legal holiday,
Washington's birthday. incidentally
Quist said that stories of bad blood"
between Nurmi and Purje were not
based on fact.
If the registration committee of the
Metropolitan Association, A. A. u, ac-
cepts Quist's version of the case there
does not appear to be anything for it
to do but to reinstate the famous Finn.
The A. A. us chief objection seems to
have been based on the contention that
Nurmi did not inform meet officials of
his withdrawal in good time, but if
Nurmi establishes that he wrote his let
ter on Friday afternoon. the day before
the meet, he cannot very well be held
responsible for the letters failure to
reach it's destination until yesterday.
AS the case stands now, Nurmi will re-
main under suspension at least until to-
morrow, when the registration commit
tee is to meet to discuss the case. Muir
mi will attend the meeting in person,
Quist says.
Even though he should be reinstated,
Nurmi will not run again until he re-
covers his health, Quist says. The Finn

pearances only because he felt. obligated
to go through with them, his friend

quently resulted in direct score.
The play is worked like lightning
on this tip-off. No. 2, one of the
forwards, who is a master at revers-
ing, drives toward his own guard,
No. S, as the ball is tossed up by
the referee, just as No. S, this guard,
runs at him. But No. makes a
quick reverse, thus shaking his
opponent, and then digs at top speed
for the basket, looking over his
shoulder when he gets under way
for the ball.
No. takes the tap from his
center, turning in back of him to
do so. Immediately he makes long
pass to No. 2 as the latter is speed
ing basketward, feeding him the ball
so he gets it without checking his
speed. No. dribbles in and shoots.
The play is dangerous one when
the tip-off cannot be controlled.
Otherwise it is a corker, with many
variations possible.
