a most surprising victory.
Today, the Gonzaga lads have
learned they can't take too much

They were not beaten badly by

to-29 margin was just enough to
keep them from walking off with
the championship they've fought
so hard for since the opening of
the campaign.
That game was of the thriller
type, if ever there was one. St.
Johns offered indications OF bat
tie as early as the first quarter
and when the final whistle ar
rived, they were happily on the
long end of the score.
Three Teams Tied

tied for the title, not only Con.
Zaga and st. Johns, but George
town Prep-the latter greatly eX-
cited over being in the running
after having given up all hope.
Tomorrow, play-off series for
the championship is to be opened
at the Catholic University gym
nasium. Gonzaga and st. Johns
will settle their differences in a
game at 8 p. m, while Saturday
the winner will meet Georgetown
Prep in a 2 o'clock afternoon en-
counter in the same gym. This
play-off series will definitely close
the campaign for each five.
Some mighty fine little prep
school players will be seen in
action in these games. For Con-
zaga, Jim Durkin and Phil Roache
will be the stars.
Simone for Saints
For st. Johns, Mike Simone,
Vincent McHugh and William
Councilman will be on hand,
while Georgetown Prep will de-
pend upon it's two lone veterans,
Hughes Spalding and Lloyd Rice
the latter quite a scorer.
These three teams will be end
ing a most successful league sea-
son by the playing of these games.
Next year. it is the hope of prep
school officials that the league
will be bolstered by the addition
of several more teams. Plans are
already being discussed for this.
The current season has been that
attractive.

LONGS ASSEMBLY
DEF|ES j. s. ORDER.
Enacts Legislation to Put
Works Spending Under
State Rule.
BY the Associated Press.

BATON ROUGE, La, April 49,
The Louisiana Legislature at Senator
Huey P. Longs orders today threw
down the gantlet to the Federal
Government in the Senator's p. w.
A. fund control fight by finally en-
acting legislation to place expediture
Of Federal work funds under State
supervision.
The General Assembly's indorse-
ment of Longs insistence that
Louisiana cities and parishes be re-
sponsible to the State for projects
on which P. w. A. funds are spent
was written when the Senate passed
House legislation carrying into effect
the Senator's wishes. The vote was
20 to 10.
Since Secretary of the Interior Har-
OLD L. Ickes recently declared that, if
the legislation passed, Louisiana p
w. A. grants would be stopped, the
action of the lawmakers amounted to
crossing of the rubicon for Long in
his Wrangle with washington over
who will handle Louisiana's share of
work funds from the s4.8S0, 900 900
relief act
Opposition Is Squelched.
There was hotly voiced opposition
that the unemployed who might find
work through Federal projects might
be disappointed through stoppage of
the flow of Federal money, but Longs
floor leaders called the supposition
absurd" and the 10 anti-Long Sem
ators were quickly outvoted.
Long was in high humor as the
Upper Chamber placed its final ap-
proval stamp on the relief legislation.
He moved from one part Of the Senate
floor to the other, swapping out direc-
tions.
The Senate, in breath-taking speed,
likewise finally enacted bills giving
Longs machine complete control of
Louisiana's election and vote-counting
machinery, ouSting an anti-Long Office
holder and prohibiting the City of
New Orleans, whose governing officials
are arrayed against Long politically,
from readjusting its Indebtedness in
Federal Court.
The House had holiday on Good
Friday, but is scheduled to meet to-
morrow to concur in Senate amend
ments to the score or more bills before
the session is adjourned sine die.
Long, irked because Secretary Ickes
said he had 'halitosis of the intellect"
issued q statement last night declar-
ing Ickes is dead and won't lie
down."
