ReymondS Roll Into City Hoop Title Debate

By virtue of their 36 to 28 win over the North End Y Varsity Sun day afternoon at the North End Y gym the Raymond Hillies are to be considered in the running for the city amateur title that the West Side Speedboys have been claiming since they handed the Olympics a setback two weeks ago. The Hillies have challenged both teams but to date have been unsuccessful in booking a game from either team.
 The Hillies record for the season is eight wins and one loss and al- though they have not played as many games as the Speedboys the opposition they have played has been tougher than that which the West Siders has played to date J. Red" Gladney, manager of the DoughboyS stated this morning that five of the eight teams in the Washington Park Community house league would be able to hang a de- feat on Hennie Carrington's outfit.
 Harsh Words
 The Hillies claim that since the Speedboys surprise victory over the Hulls Collegians that they have been side-stepping local teams in an endeavor to chalk up a string of victories and get a crack at the K. of L. team. The Hillies on the other hand are not pointing to a game with the K. of L. or any other team for the city championship, but are more than anxious to ar range game with the Speedboys and will play them on any floor in the city and with any referee in the city. The Speedboys claimed last year that the Hillies were afraid to play them and after the game was arranged the Doughboys pinned a seven point defeat on the West Siders before the largest crowd to see an amateur game last year.

 Old Man George Gearing, who turned down contract with Willie Hoppe, then took things into his hands and knocked off the Wooster captain, Billy Garrity, 25 to 19.
 Then the fireworks started when Bill Stanton took the table with Johnny Burns. It looked as if the police would have to be called in to end this match but Stanton with a 100 1b advantage, finally not only peat burnS put was able to Out-talk him too, and nosed out a g to 9 victory.
 Tonight the teams will play at the Wooster and the schedule is:
 7:30-Archie Pelletier vs. George Brown; Bill Falk vs. Jimmie Hol- land.
 8:30-Ernest Maganaro vs. George Ryan; Melad Malouf vs. Thomas Mccarthy.
 While all these games will be hard fought and close there is one that stands out as it brings together two of the best players in the state, Mel ad Malouf and Thomas Mccarthy. The billiard fans have always want ed to see these two players in action but this is the first time they have ever met in 8 match game.

Harvard, Harlow Irked at Loss
 of Two Coaches
By ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Staff Correspondent


 Boston, Feb. 1-UP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 Its a cinch that neither official Harvard nor Head Football Coach Dick Harlow is exactly pleased to have lost Assistant Line Coach Rae Crowther and Backfeld Mentor Howard Odell to Pennsylvania with in the past week
 Local sports scriveners are using the term raid" to describe Penn's signing of Crowther and Odell :. but otherwise there hasn't been a single disgruntled note from Cam bridge it doesn't require too much imagination, however, to un- derstand how there very likely are some injured feelings at Harvard ..
 What probably disturhs Harlow is that these two able lieutenantS will be taking with them informat tion about the Harlow system" which the Harvard grid boss had hoped to keep here exclusively for a while. :. and official Harvard undoubtedly is griped to think that the Harlow system" probably will be thrown right back into the Crimson,s teeth Oct. 21, 1899 that's when Har- yard and Penn resume football rela- tions!

The Brazilian Revolt.

The spectacle Of the President of the
largest Latin American republic defend
ing himself, revolver in hand, against a
band Of Fascist assassins who had in
vaded the presidential premises in Rio
de Janeiro is something to grip the
imagination Of Americans, whose Chief
Executive relies upon strong bars and
special police force for the safety of
himself and his family.
Workmanship has never been a pre-
requisite for the highest Office in the
United States, but below the Rio Grande
1t is a distinct asset to any who aspire
to dictatorship. News dispatches credit
President Getulio Vargas with the cool,
quick action which thwarted the designs
OF Integralist revolutionaries who had
duped-or had they?-the regular palace
guard by posing as soldiers and sailors
coming to relieve them.
Aside from its dramatic aspect and its
quick suppression, the revolt testifles
anew to the peril which besets the path
OF him who would rule alone. This is
not the first time Senior Vargas has
been the object of armed conspiracy by
his political foes. In March the gov
eminent of Brazil announced the dis
covery and thwarting of an Integralist
plot to assassinate the President and
other high officials, and as a result of
police raids which turned up large caches
OF arms Plinio Salgado, the Integralist
leader, was outlawed. To him is at
tributed the leadership Of yesterdays
abortive coup.
Although by speedily suppressing the
revolt the Vargas regime showed itself
to be capable Of keeping out OF Brazil
the Fascism which the Integralists aim
to import from Europe, there is still no
sign that democracy is any nearer
restoration to the Brazilian political
scene. The Vargas administration may
not, as is claimed, be an American version
OF the Nazi-Fascist theology, but it GER
tainly has greater affinity with the in
tensified personal rule which grips Ger.
many and Italy than with the popular
conception of government which holds
forth in most of the remainder of the
Western Hemisphere.
Lacking the broad mass support which
is necessary for revolutions, even in
Brazil. the revolt was simply an effort
to take power by selling the instruments
OF government. For the moment demo-
cratic and liberal elements are support
ing the dictatorship. AS long as they
continue to do so the question of upset.
ting the present regime remains more
or less academic,
