Opens
Guard Posts

Coach Tony Hinkle today declared
the guard positions on the Butler
basketball team wide open, and
there was a wild scramble of con-
tenders for the two places as the
Franklin and Pittsburgh games this
Week-e end drew near.
Inability to protect lead they
held in the Indiana Central game
last Saturday night, led the veteran
Bulldog mentor to say: 1.-THE jobs
are open to any players who can
show the ability to hold the opposi-
ton to low scores"
Franklin, which invades the field
house Saturday night, has a win
over Huntington college and one
point loss to Wabash on the record
so far, and Coach Roy Tillotson will
have his veteran lineup going top
speed for the local fracus.
Ochsenhirt, a three-year veteran,
and the player who gave Pitt an
overtime win over the Bulldogs last
year, will lead the veteran Panther
team here Monday night.

game, first held last season at
Comiskey park as one of the fea-
lures of the worlds fair year, was
adopted as a permanent attraction.

New York early in July, and in 1885
in Cleveland. 1t is the plan to shift
the game until each major league
city has had one game.

the new working agreement between

Dear Blackboard:
What you need is a good look at
Shortridge, not at Tech. Your blowing
of about storm signals is as goofy
piece as I've seen. Tech has just a lot
of hot air when it comes to publicity.
Shortridge needs no publicity and we
don't want any. when tournament time

that great Tech team is. I'm betting on

Dear Blackboard:

indianapolis,


Dear Blackboard:
Remarkably enough, your Secret OPP

on the head when he told you that But
Ter had no business losing Saturday
nights game. AS far as I'm concerned,

chump. ALFoNsE'
That cheered the Operative up bit,
Alfonso Blackboard is inclined 10 agree
that Butler shouldn't have lost that
game.
THERE are some prize hardwood

week. For example. there's Teen

Logansport Friday night for the
lead in the North Central Confer

on deck to see whether his predic-
ton that Tech will come through

the North Central loop scorers with
fourteen field goelS and five free losses,
for total Of thirty-three points. Johnny
Townsend. of Tech, is close behind with
twelve field buckets and five free

third. with twenty-eight points.

Another pick: Shelbyville over Corners

Still another: Newcastle 10 beat the Ko-

"NOT If COMMUNISTS
ARE REPRESENTED"
Brooklyn, N. Y,

oIOOh4JA Al Az d
Editor Of Daily Worker,
Dear Sir
1t is with sincere regret that we
advise you that the symposium we
had planned and in which you had
already promised participation will
be postponed indefinitely
AS you recall, the original plan
was to invite a speaker from your
organization, the Nation and the
New Leader; the first two res
bonded Immediately but the New
Leader did not even extend the
courtesy of a reply.
However, a representative called
upon the New Leader, and to his
establishment and dismay, the re-
ception accorded him was such as
TO make it clear that not only are
they unwilling TO enter into any
SYMPOSIUM where Communist opin-
ion is represented, but an open
front OF hostility was assumed to-
wards our representative upon the
mere mention of Communist. "
The very subject of the proposed
symposium: who Has the Way
out, should be welcomed by every
every progressive school OF thought
as the most opportune vehicle for
the expression of their viewpoint
and for the expounding of their po-
litical program. In view OF recent
electioneering speeches by leading
members, declarations and propa-
ganda, the present refusal OF the
socialist Party, through the New
Leader, to take part IN an open
symposium definitely forces us to
these conclusions; namely, that the
Socialist Party fears to meet the
challenge OF Communist debaters;
that its utterances are merely dem
agogic and misleading; and that
confronted with differing opinions
IL fears open acknowledgment OF
It's complete bankruptcy as a party
which would lead the working class
TO way CUB The Socialist Party
could offer no better example, to
those members Of our club who
share it's views, of its utter lack OF
courage OF it's convictions.
