WICHITA, Kan, March 22-The Business college team, which topped the long win streak of the Okla homa City Cardinals at 89 games looms to the most formidable threat to the Cardinals crown in the Womens National A. A. U. basketball tourney here the last week in March.
 The Tulsans, boasting an all- American center and a forward rated by some experts as the best in the game, have won more than 40 contests. Their lone defeat was an early season setback by the Cardinals.
 With a victory apiece, each in a close, hard fought contest, the two well-matched teams from O. lahoma are doped to furnish fire works in the tournament.
 Alberta Williams, all-American center for three years, first with the Wichita Thurstons and last year with the Dallas Cyclones, is Tulsas ace. Babe Didrickson has rated her "the smartest center in the game" and the only opponent she ever had at center whom she iould not outjump. Alberta is 5 feet 111s inches tall
 Hazel Walker, sturdy Tulsa for ward, has attracted attention in the southwest by her accurate long shots Some sports writers have described her deadly aim as with out equal. Time after time she has nstted field goals from near the center of the court.
 She is feet 9 inches tall and weighs 165 poonds.

 B. B. TITLE BUT
 FANS CHEER ON

IOWA CITY, Ia, March 22.- Although the University of Iowa's basketball team missed the Big Ten championship by wide margin, boquets instead of brickbats are being. tossed it's way by loyal sons of the Hawkeye state.
 And there's no talk of firing Coach Rollie Williams, either.
 The fans get their biggest kick out of the 2,400 persons who saw the quintet in action and are claiming for it the conference at tendance record.
 They also point with pride to the fact that Iowa was one of the two Big Ten teams to defeat the champion, Purdue-and on the Boil ermarkers' home floor, too.
 Finally, this seasons Iowa five scored more points than any other team in the university's history.
 The team, to be broken up by the graduation of three regulars in June, won 13 out of 19 games and anassed a total of 681 points, II more than the 1883 five tallied in 20 games.
 lava was hard to beat at home but easy prey abroad, as was evil denced by the record of only one conference defeat here in six starts, and only one victory on the road in as many games. The Hawkes. shared fifth place with Indiana.
 Curiously enough, the team that defeated Iowa here was Pordue, and the only victory Iowa attained on the road was over those same Boilermakers.

HIT.
AS UNFAIR

Charging that many Washing
ton hospitals are now engaging in
certain corporate practices which
take away the livelihood of the
general practitioner, DR.. Thomas A.
Grower, chairman of the Medical
Economics Committee of the Dis
trict Medical Society, today de,
clared rules governing these
practices will be published by the
society within a few days.
DR.. Grower said the rules
drawn up by the society conflict
to some extent with the condi
tions in many hospitals, and that
the institutions will be given a
year in which to conform with
the regulations of the medical
group.
If at the end of the year the
hospitals have not followed the
rules, action will be taken by the
medical group against the physi,
clans in the employ of the inStitu'
tons, DR.. Grower concluded.
1t was understood from numer
Gus complaints that the action OF
the society was directed against
the employing of physicians on a
yearly basis, the services of these
employed physicians being sold on
a regular fee basis.

Hopkins Action to Cause
Drastic SIashes in Expendi-
lures to Aid Needy

Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins has
denied the request of District Com.
missioner George E. Allen for
supplementary grant of $4,000
for relief work here during June,
it was learned today at the Dis
trict Building.
The sum had been asked to sup
plement the $4,000 grant pre-
viously made to the local govern
ment for the month.
Had Sought 100000
The commissioner first planned
to ask the Federal Emergency Re-
lief Administration for 100000
for the month, the same amount
which has been obtained each
month for several months past.
After considerable however, the
request was cut to $750,000. Mr..
Hopkins held that even this sum
was more than the actual need of
the District and sent a representa-
tive, Arch Mandel. to confer with
local relief officials.
Fund Held Too Small
AS result of Mr.. Mandel'S con-
ference, the grant of the Federal
unit was set at $4,000. Relief
officials asserted this sum was far
too small to meet the relief needs
of the month and prevailed upon
Commissioner Allen to ask the
$4,000 supplementary grant.
After learning of Mr.. Hopkins
refusal to grant the additional
money, Mr.. Allen said he would
call a meeting of relief officials
Monday. At that time he will
order drastic reductions in relief
expenditures to keep within the
months appropriation, he indi'
