Poor Turnout
Marks HOyas'
Win Over Owls
BY CHICK KENNY

What has happened to college
basketball in the District of Co
lumbia2
A few years ago an attraction
like the Temple-G Georgetown game
of last night would have attracted
a banner crovG with flock of
people turned away. But not last
night at Tech High gym.
Here was a blue-ribbon attrac-
ton featuring Temple University,
national collegiate champion of
1888 and titleholder of the East
tern Basketball Conference, and
Georgetown, undefeated in four
games this season and fresh from
scoring a triumph in Madison
Square Garden over New York. Yeo,
yawning seats greeted both teams
during the game. Although no Of
ficial attendance figure was re
leased, it is safe to guess that not
more than 1,500 attended the fray.
Anyhow, Georgetown won the
game, SO to %, and goes into a
deadlock with Carnegie Tech for
the conference lead.
1t was Georgetown all the way,
and the highly-publicized duel be-
tween Centers Don Henderson of
Temple and Johnny MCGOWAN of
Georgetown. former Asbury Park
IN. j. High School teammates
was captured by the Hoya Sopho-
more eleven points to two.
1t looked like the same Temple
quintet that played here last
year, when Georgetown grabbed
the game for the only setback
administered the national cham
pions during the season. OF
course, three of the regulars of
last years great club were on
hand, but We are referring to the
concentrated attack of the Owls
Last year, Temple elected tc
potshot from the near center OF
the floor. Well, it did the same
thing last night. Instead of at
tempting to work the ball into
the hoop, it elected to stand from
a distance and strike at the
bankboard like the players do in
the Garden when up against glass
banks.
The game was a fairly rough
affair throughout with no less
than five dribblers of the two
sides going out by way of per
Sonal foul route. Kurtyke, Muir.
ply and MCGOWAN, of the Hilltop
team. took a bath during the sec
ond half, and for Temple it was
Jones and Ed Doyle.
Hoya guarding was of exceed
ingly high order and, with the ex
ception of Ed Black, Temple
players we're limited to one fielc
goal each. Black set through some
perfect pot-shots. but, for the res
of the visitors, well, the ball JUS
wouldn't go in.
In the preliminary, George
towns undefeated fres h m a r
cagers staged a rally in the clos
ing minutes Of play to topple the
hitherto undefeated George Wash
ington Frosh Quintet, 45-43.

Wagner Act Revision
Urged at Session Of
Co|ored People
Anti-Semitism DepIored;
Mrs. Roosevelt to
Speak Today
~ the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, July 1.-The
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People adopt
ed resolutions today urging revision
of the Wagner Labor Relations Act,
deploring anti-Semitism and ex-
pressing opposition to any "entan-
Cling alliances" that might involve
the United States in war.
The delegates, in their final BUSH
ness session, chose Philadelphia for
the 1910 convention.
The weekend program for the
conference will reach a climax to-
morrow when Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt will make an address and
will present the Spingard Medal
award to Marian Anderson, colored
contralto
Most of the resolutions, which in
general reasserted the N. A. A. c. p.
stand for equal rights for Negroes,
were adopted without debate, but
the one relating to revision of the
Wagner Act inspired vigorous
argument.
One delegate said the association,
In advocating changes to prevent
discrimination on grounds of race,
would be playing into the hands of
the National Manufacturers Asso-
citation. She argued that the manu-
facturers desired to destroy the act,
and that if it were opened to amend
ments, they would put things in it
that would leave no act at ALL
Thurgood Marshall, New York at
torney, argued that amendments al
ready had been offered to the act
and that the N. A. A. c. P. stand
would not affect the manufacturers.
He said the changes proposed by the
N. A. A. c. P. were necessary.
In another resolution, the dele
gates urged President Roosevelt to
appoint qualified Negroes to Federal
judgeships, to responsible positions
in the reorganization of the branches
Of the Government now going on, "

and to membership on the Federal
Civil Service Commission and other
commissions.
The resolution on social and in
ternational relations deplored Nazi
and Fascist attacks on the Jews, ex-
tended sympathy to all minority
groups and deplored "anti-Semitism
tendencies in America"
The association went on record in
another resolution to use all means
at its command to preserve peace
and keep this country from forming
any "entangling alliances"

purchase of grade A cream

On two fronts Saturday, according
to Lou Leroy, manager of the I'M
perial Valley Milk Producers, and
Charles Bramkamp, manager OF
the Golden State creamery.
Leroy, who termed the Challenge
move as only temporary, contacted
the Los Angeles office in an effort
to reopen the market to Imperial
Valley.
Bramkamp, who pointed out that
the suspended purchase of valley
cream by Challenge would not i'm
mediately affect the price paid
valley dairymen, telegraphed Golden
State headquarters in Los Angeles
in an attempt to sell at least a
portion of the valleys cream sup
ply through the Golden State or
ganization.
Bramkamp pointed out that the
Golden State markets its cream
through San Diego and Orange
county distributors at the present
time, but declared the only pos
5ible outlet for a surplus would be
the Los Angeles plant.
Meanwhile there was a move in
the valley that urged an organi-
zation of dairymen to create a
market in Los Angeles. Leaders
discredited the report that an over
supply of cream in Los Angeles
forced the move of Challenge to
suspend purchase of cream from
its valley plant.
