OUTSTANDING among the West
" minister "supermen" is Wesley
Bennett, the Nations leading scorer
in 1884, currently boasting an
average of IS points per game ana
last year proclaimed the outstanding
player appearing in Madison Square
Garden. It was in Westminster's 81
80 victory over st. Johns of Brooklyn
there that Bennett scored FL points
the highest individual total ever
scored against the losing combine.
Strangely enough, Bennett has been
transferred this season from his for
mer center position to that of forward
because the Titans have uncovered
one they consider an even better tap
off man in Paul Backus, a sophomore.
It was because of BackuS that the
Westminster student body went on
strike early this Winter when the
second-year star was declared meli-
gible on technicality. School officials
lost little time in reinserting him in
the lineup.
WestminSter's victory over Carnegie

Trouble Looms in Finding

Il How about usl" came the de-
mand yesterday from Montgomery
County and almost at the same time
from Fredericksburg, Va, where the
public high school sports bloomered
team which has won "a consecutive
games.
So next Saturday afternoon, in Tech
High gym, two of the strongest girl
teams In the Metropolitan Washing
ton area will play preliminary to the
final of The Star tournament.
One Of them will represent Fred
ericksburg High which, according to
sports writers of the Old Dominion,
presents beyond question the snap
piest sextet in Northern Virginia.
Looks Like Trouble. -:
RUT who will be called upon to op-e
pose the Old Dominion maids IS :
a question that last night had the
tournament management headed up a
tree The field in Washington and
nearby Maryland will be gone over
carefully in the next day or two and
unless a team may be selected arbi-
trarily without performing an injus-
tice, game or series of games will
be held to settle the appointment. A
special prize will be awarded the win
ner of the contest Saturday.
In the meantime, it has been found
necessary to make a change in the
tournament dates. The opening con-
tests, bringing together Eastern of
Washington and George Washington
of Alexandria and Bethesda Chevy
Chase Of Montgomery County and
either Hyattsville or Mount Rainier
of Prince Georges, will be held Thurs
day afternoon at Tech instead Of Fri

A THOUGH the boys metropolitan
y public school title will be at stake
in The Star final, the happers may
walk off with the show. To many
basket ball addicts, of both sexes, it
will be a treat to see the FTedericks-
burg team perform. Coached by Miss
Helen McKenney, red-headed and
fiery spirited, the Fredericksburg
misses haven't lost a game since early
last season. They dropped their first
two of 1885 and haven't been on the
losing end since.
Johnny Fenlon, athletic director of
Fredericksburg High, who shone as a
foot ball player at George Washington
University few seasons back, declares
Miss McKenney's team is the keenest
combination of girl dribblers he ever
has seen in high school competition.
I'm not foolin'," said Johnny yes

couple of our girls I'd like to use on

Joyce Orrock, who teams with Miss

and he points out Mildred Davenport,
Alberta Pritchett, both guards, and
Elizabeth Ferguson, side center, as
other exceptional performers among
Miss McKenney's squad.

WISE CHARGES
FASCISM TREND
Editor Says Threats Offer
Challenge in Reed
Club Address.

The American people today we're
challenged to defend themselves
against the threats of Fascism, eco
nomic strife and war by Jama1
Waterman Wise, militant liberal
and editor of The Peoples Press.
Speaking before the John Reed
Club forum in Castle Hall last night,
Mr.. Wise charged that William
Randolph Hearst, Father Charles
Coughlin and the late Huey P. Long
were "would-be Fascists."
"Fascism is capitalism in con-
vulsions," Mr.. Wise said and
charged that Hearst forces were
back of "a campaign to smash civil
liberties by gag bills, wantom vigil
antism and red-baiting."
Attacks Organization
Other potential Fascist forces in
the United States are the Ameri-
can Liberty League, the Daughters
of the Revolution and the American
Legion, Mr.. Wise charged.
"If any propaganda is subversive
and insidious, it is that propaganda
which Hearst has spread in the
schools, colleges, American Legion
and even the labor movement" Mr..
Wise said.
THE people can protect them
selves by mass action against Ease
ism and it's inevitable children, war
and suffering. Too, Fascism in the
long run is its own destroyer"

Recently, Metcalf rounded up a

Yesterday, he again pressed an
aid into service and captured two
youthful car theft suspects who

The suspects, one 10 and the
other Is, both from Cleveland, were
armed. They we're hitch-hiking to
New Orleans and obtained lift"
from Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Otte,
Cambridge City. The boys forced
the Cites out of the car at the point
of revolvers.
Hearing a radio alarm, Metcalf
enlisted Ira Eubank, Clayton, and
took up the chase. After firing sew
eral shots, Metcalf and Eubank
overhauled the fleeing pair and Eu-
bank "frisked" them while Metcalf
kept everything under control.

members representing farm organi-
cations met to draw up a definite
program for recommendation to the
full farm meeting.
Observers believed it likely they
would approve the soil conservation
plan 1t was said the committee
might remain as continuing body
to help in guiding legislation for
new farm-aid program through
Congress.
Confirmed by Roosevelt
The soil conservation idea was
confirmed indirectly by both PreSi-
dent Roosevelt and Agriculture Sec
rotary Henry A. Wallace at nearly
the same time, Mr.. Wallace in his
opening address to the farmers and
Mr.. Roosevelt at his semi weekly
press conference.
Details remain to be worked out
Roughly, however, it is understood
to be based primarily on taking
some 100000 acres out of produc-
ton, some through land rental by
the government and the rest
through payments to farmers COM
plying with suggestions for the best
use of land, supported by system
of domestic allotments.
An organization would be set up
to decide what products can best
be grown on various land holdings,
and how much the land should be
forced to produce.
Subsidy Would Be Paid
Thus, each farmer might be told
that his land should produce a GER
tain amount of wheat; that if he
produced more he would be taking
more out of the soil than he
should.
If he complied with these sug-
gestions he would receive subsidy
payment from the government. The
payment would be made for valu-
able services rendered" in preserving
the soils fertility for future Amer
leans.
Other lands, deemed TO be sub
marginal but with possibilities if al
lowed to remain idle or planted to
certain fodder crops or legunes,
would be rented directly by the gov
eminent.
