.drketers Meet
Brewers

A record crowd and a record for
sandlot thrills are expected this
afternoon on the West EllipSe
when the Heurich Brewers and
South West Marketers battle in
the first Of q three-game series
to decide the second half winner
in the Industrial League.
Tied with eight wins and two
losses each, the two clubs will be
fighting tooth and nail for the
next three days. The rivalry be-
tween Carl Waller, South West
Market hurler, and Walter Jesse
James, beer key HEAVIER, may be
one Of the afternoons features.
It was Waller who defeated
James, rs, two weeks ago, when
the brewers could have clinched
the Industrial League flag.
Having already won the first
half honorS, the Brewers can avoid
playing the usual Industrial
League play-off, by winning this
current series for the Secondhalf
title.
However, the Marketmen have
no intention Of letting the Brew.
ers take this series If they can
help it. Elaborate plans are under
way by the South West Markets
board of strategy to solve the
Brewers greatest asset-its pitch
ing staff.
Lefty" Brown, Walter James
and Frank Watt comprise the big
three on the HeurichS' staff. The
South West management has de-
cided on batting order changes to
take care of each of these three
lads.
Just how well these well laid
plans will work may be seen this
afternoon, when they are EN-.
ployed against Brown.

Negro Bar In
~" Housing Is
Upheld By Regents

Official sanction to unlawful
race discrimination practic e d
against American students of Ne
gro extraction has been given by
the University of Minnesota Board
of Regents according to the Min
nesota Daily, student publication
at Minnesota's "seat Of higher
learning"
This was revealed when the ALL
University Council met early this
month. Among the communica-
tons read was a letter from DR..
Lotus D. Coffman who has ap-
proved the exclusion of Negro
students from taxpayer owned
university housing properties.
In a letter to the council, Presi-
dent Coffman announced that the
Board of Regents had unanimously
decided to continue the University's
present policy as regards housing
of Negroes in University proper
ties.
Regents Give Opinion
Racial discrimination was the
subject of an investigation last
spring by a council committee
headed by Howard Kahn. No dis
elimination was found except as
regards the selection Of students
for Pioneer hall. 1t was recon-
mended that a Negro be permitted
to room there as an experiment.
In his letter, President Coffman
said, eft is the unanimous opinion
of the Board of Regents that the
housing of Negro students in Pho
neer hall at present would not be
conducive to their best interests,
nor to the interests of the other
students there. The regents recog-
nize that deficiencies exist at the
University with regard to housing
and they wish to correct them as
rapidly as possible for all students,
including Negroes"
No action was taken on the
Coffman communication by the
council. Civic groups and college
liberals plan an early test of the
constitutionality of such exclusion.
