CALLING THE CAGERS-No. q
SO. History Should Repeat

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 19.-Rep-
etition of a 22year-old struggle be-
tween Washington g. Lee and North
Carolina for Southern conference
basketball supremacy is in pros
pect for the 1888 season.
The w. & L. generals nosed out
the Tar Heels in the finals OF the
1887 championship tournament to
win The title. The same two teams
figured in the 1886 finals with North
Carolina annexing the crown.
Both universities boast powerful
squads again this season and will
be heavy favorites despite a general
improvement in the quality of teams
in the 15-member circuit and I'M
certainty as to the effect of the new
center-jump rules.
Washington g. Lees hopes of re-
naming on the throne are centre
ed around two all-Southern per-
formers, giant Bob Spessard, CEN
ter, and Earl (Kit) Carson, forward
Spessard, a 6-foot finch star, tai
lied 298 points in 18 games last sea-
son.
Five lettermen are available at
North Carolina, together with a pro-
missing band of sophomores The
veterans include Earl Ruth, all
Southern, and Foy Grub, guards;
Andy Bershak, Pete Mullis and Bill

outlook of the four Palmetto state

SWitChmen Take
Evening Honors
With 1475 Pins

Highest team total at the Elks
last night was that rolled by the
Switchmen as eighteen Railroaders
tried in vain to come in on schedule.
The Switchmen tailed for the eve
ming record, exactly l475.
That score beat the Engineers by
IA pins. The Supers edged out the
Firemen by six pins and the Brake
men beat the Oilers by two pins.

Wake Forest, Richmond and
Duke are other squads which may
cause trouble.
Eight teams are selected on the
basis of conference records to par
ticipate in the annual tournament
to be held at Raleigh, N. c., in
March. North Carolina State should
win berth in the title event, leav-
ing Virginia Military Institute,

SPARK PLUCCERS
WIN over EMPIRE
in THREE GAMES

The Spark Plugs spanked and the
Empire fell at the Brunswick last
night.
Fred Schmitz, Spark Plugger,
came in with SGT total pinfall to
take topside honors, three pins
ahead of Art Bringdale of the En-
pire.
Spark Pluggers took three games
straight and totaled 1649 to 1888.

with completed passes being more
coincidence than system. Their hap
hazard style of play stood them well
enough during the first half, but
almost led to their complete frus-
tration, when, with the Concreters
turning on the heat, the Islanders
were unable to reorganize their at
tack until nearly too late.
1t was to Jensen and Tauno
Niemi that much of the credit for
the Islanders ultimate win was due,
as their tight checking during the
first half held down the Krause
toll, even though no checking could
halt the Concreters' closing drive.
Behind the Krause thrust stood
Freddy Harris, who, entering the
game at guard, proved capable
enough imitation Of the Chinese
Wall to enable the rest of his team
mates to forsake the defense and
concentrate on basket-getting. Har-
riS chief aid on defense was James,
while Bardi did steady job of ball
hawking.

The United States Argentine
agreement is so complete, it was
reported, that Cantilo personally
assured Hull that if unforeseen
obstacles arise at the conference,
he will return to Lima to help
smooth them out. The assurance
was regarded as an indication that
the Argentine delegation was in

day Jews will be permitted to buy
at German shops and frequent
"Aryan" hotels and restaurants
although they will continue to be
barred from some public places.
The anti-Semitic measures ta-
ken during the past month, the
d. n. b. explained, were "aimcd
at the eventual emigration of
Jews from Germany and were un-
dertaken solely to prevent fric-
ton and make living with Aryans
unbearable until Jewish emigra-
tion is completed"
The news agency quoted in
formed quarters" as its author
ity for the promise that Germany
will facilitate Jewish emigration,
which it said had been made diff
ficult thus far because Of the re-
strictions placed upon Jews desir-
ing to take wealth out of the
country.
Rich foreign Jews might fur
nish Devisen foreign eXchange)
abroad as they did in the case OF
the Austrian Jews" the D.N.B.
suggested.
The general principle of this
plan appeared to be for wealthy
foreign Jews to place funds at
the disposal of German Jews, in
return for which the Jews would
be permitted to deopsit part Of
what remains of their German
fortunes to the credit Of the Sa-
maritans abroad.
Even this deposit, however,
must be in a "blocked" account,
rigidly restricted under the Ger
mar foreign exchange laws.
Every migrating rich German
Jew probably would be expected
to take four or five poorer Jews
with him when he leaves the
Reich, thus furthering the Nazi
aim of eliminating the Jews with
in two-year period.
Nazi officials said $4,000 Aus
trian Jews had emigrated within
the past seven months under such
an arrangement.
