ROM its lofty but somewhat
~ shaky perch atop the public
high school series uppermost
a limb, Eastern's basket ball team
today surveyed rather calm situa-
ton, for the only logical bump in
the Lincoln Parkers' trail to the title
is their second fuss with Western
some weeks hence.
Thoroughly satisfied with q scant
1914 victory over Western despite
the appraisal Of their labor by Acting
Coach Artie Boyd as sloppy" the
Fasteners still are undefeated in
four series engagements. The margin
of their latest conquest, while SUM-
cient, was discomfiting at least to
Boyd.

who toiled bravely but futilely in

In the final analysis, 1t was the

the high-scoring Clint Quantrille and
collaborated with Custer. a sopho-

Eastern solved the problem by
countering with equally effective de-

Eorder today as result of border
dolations by war planes from
spain.
On one Of their flights over
French territory the raiders even
ropped bombs on a French rail
Eay.
NSPECTS DEFENSES
While French troops were
Nshed to the new danger area,
PREMIER Daladier made a tour of
Inspection of the border area and
licenses and then announced:
"ReinforcementS are en- route
to the frontier, which will be
well guarded in future"
Daladier took personal charge
b precautionary arrangements
Ind further troop movements were
expected today.
PLANES NOT IDENTIFIED
Authorities said anti-aircraft de-
lenses would be strengthened, espe-
6ally at weak points, and OBJ
iervers would be posted along the
border to report all infringements
IF French territory by foreign war
planes.
Identity of the aircraft which
crossed the border has not yet
been definitely established, but it
vas regarded as significant that
when the last-reported violation
occurred, Sp anish government
hnti-aircraft batteries joined
French gunners in driving off the
attending planes.
FLIGHTS DENIED
In Burgos, it was reported
nationalist authorities denied any
bf their machines had crossed the
frontier. They claimed thell
aerial operations had taken place
south of the parallel running
through Barcelona.
Daladier, it was pointed out
here, already had ordered French
air squadrons to chase any
foreign war planes flying over
French soil. Since aircraft from
Spain have been able to get across
the border despite these instruc-
fionS more French aviation units
have been ordered to the border.
