A smooth working Moorehead
quintet annexed the state junior
college championship for boys by
upsetting the Holmes Junior Col
lege Bulldogs, Al to 35, in the
finals of the basketball tournaa-
ment held at Goodman Saturday.
1t was a nip and tuck battle in
the first ten minutes of the first
half with never more than two
points separating either team and
with the count biting deadlocked
at s all and 10 all.
In the last ten minutes, how
ever, the Trojans two more count
ers to their total, then the Bull
dogs sank thrte field goals to
trail 80 to 20. After the winners
converted two free shots to lead
% to 20, Goodman put on a brief
scoring squirt with Raymond
Moore as the spearhtad of the Of
fensive to come within one point
of a tie, 81 to 80, but Moorehead
kept fighting to keep ahead and
toward the end held a 7-point
margin, too much deficit to
match.
The Bulldogs failed to capita
fize on numerous charity losses,
missing IL out of Is, when a

game after holding their oppon-

than what the popular songs and
radio programs had to offer.
These home people, the Americans
from all over the country, are the ones
that should be first considered in plan
ming the musical part Of the enter
prise. Visitors from other lands will
undoubtedly be in the minority, al
though the fair Is designed to include
offerings from every land. The i'm
portant thing is for the committee to
remember that American artists and
American music are now Of such cali
ber as to be worthy Of special fea-
turing. Not only should the American
visitors be made conscious of the
character of the national talent, but
foreign visitors as well should see such
a cross-section of this countrys mu-
sical art that they will realize its i'm
portance in the world today.
IT HAS generally been the case,
whenever a project on a big scale
is planned in this country, to feel
that when foreign artists are present.
ed the affair will really take on a
grandiose atmosphere. There was a
time when this was so, but today the
status of the American artist has
changed, and he is able to compete
with the best from foreign markets
Why should he not be accorded such
recognition in his own country? Why
should it not become the rule that
those of local origin who have
achieved fame should be given place
over any celebrity from another coun-
try?
Americans have learned much from
European nations, but they have not
yet adopted their attitude toward ma
tional artists Of whatever branch OF
art. Why are We, as nation, so re-
luctant to give credit to our own
outstanding representatives of mu-
sic? We have before the public many
fine artists who not only are American
born but American trained as WELL
These are the ones who should be
placed in the front rank of the man.
moth musical spectacle which is being
devised for the World Fair
Artists from this country have al
ways had to fight land to pay for
recognition in Europe. They were
not interesting to their compatriots
until they had done SO. Now Europe
will not give American musicians a
chance, but each country insists upon
taking care of its own artists first.
The remuneration for artists in Eu-
rope, as always, is poor, and they must
needs seek opportunities to appear in
America, where Americans are will
ing to pay high prices for q foreign
product. And what are American art
lists doing in the meantime? Strue-
CLING along, as they have been doing
for years, studying hard to equal
their foreign rivals. taking any op-
portunity for public appearances at
whatever pittance is offered while less
gifted musicians, with only a foreign
background to recommend them, get
the high pay.
The Music Committee Of the
World Fair Of New York can, once
and for all, settle this situation if
it will think of the American artist
first. 1t can show the entire country
what kind of talent we have, and it
can show the foreign visitor how we
respect that talent. 1t will be inter-
esting to notice, when the committee
gives out its final plans, whether it
has progressed in the Americaniza-
ton of its spirit or if it is still In the
pre-war period, when all that Amer
lea did in the musical way was con-
sidered second rate.
