FOOTBALL
THE ROXBURY RAMBLERS DROP
ONE TO THE SAVIN HILL
TROTANS

The initial football game of the
season proved to be a thrilling one,
with the Savin Hill Trojans, white
defeating the valient Roxbury Ramb-
lers 1918, at Carriers Playground
Sunday afternoon. Although on the
losing end in this heated pigskin duel,
the large gathering of football fans
appreciated the spirit and valor dis
played by the local team. Both teams
exercised plenty of fair play that kept
the game moving on smooth basis
throughout the game.
The Ramblers gained consistently.
but lacked the necessary zest to score
during the LIST and End periods This
factor might be attributed to their
loss. Their line plunging was par
ticularly impressive, with "Moby"
Reddick, center, Joe Banks, b. field,
and Roger Fosky, b. guard, breaking
up the Trojan defense in spectacular
fashion at intervals.
Jack Harpo, Trojan, quarterback,
scored a touchdown in the End session,
receiving a short pass over the line.
The Trojans led at the half 1910. At
the beginning of the Bird period, the
Trojans scored another touchdown
The Ramblers halted the Trojans'
stride at this phase of the game, and
Frannie Matthews, made a spirited
50-yard run, with "Moby" Reddick
and VicKerr doing some powerful
blocking. The RambIers were stimu-
lated by this gain, and Frannie Mat
thews plowed across the line to score
a touchdown With 3 minutes to go

jan pass, and ran 40-yards for a
touchdown.

BROOKLYN COLLEGE

IROUNCES BROOhL1N COLLECIE
NEW YORK-Larry McPhail of
Long Island University watched his
new Blackbird eleven stop a heavy
but slow-moving Brooklyn College
team without a yard gained on the
ground, saw it pile up three touch
downs for a 26-0 victory on a sus-
tanned, versatile attack, led by th
dashing Dolly King, husky Color
end and basketball star. Dolly caught
Bob Tricolor's thirty-yard toss, to
register the first LLU. touchdown in
the opening quarter. King glared in
the role of tackling, too, as the Illus
brilliant line completely smothered the
Brooklyn attack on the ground, fore
ing the Kingsmen to tumble three
times and resort to desperate pass
ing offensive and failed because the
passers were closely pressed.

BRITAIN MAY PROTEST

London, March 9.-UP)-Quar- ters close to the government indi- cated today that Great Britain was preparing to challenge the right of the Spanish Nationalists to block ade the Republican coast and that it might increase warship protec- ton for British ships in the Medi- terranea11.
 A spokesman explained that even if Great Britain had granted bel- ligerent rights-which it has con- siStently withhled-the government would regard tn enew Nationalist threat to sink ships at sight as an act of piracy.
 A definite government ruling was expected at any time. It was un- derstood that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax, foreign secretary, discussed the problem at noon today.
 It was indicated that the govern ment's present attitude might be al- tered if the Nationalists agreed to give reasonable warning to foreign vessels inside Spanish territorial waters.
 The government had received no notification of the blockade order, nor had the admiralty sent new in- structions to British ships. However, the cruiser Devonshire had been moved from Gandia, which is in the blockaded area, to Palma, Balearics Islands, and has been re- placed by destroyer.

victoriously," the Republican de- fense council, headed by Miaja, an- nounced to the people by radio as its attacking troops forced two Communist companies and part ot the 200th Brigade in the Madrid Sector to surrender.
 Republican troops have occupied all of the entrances to Madrid. At least 1000 of the rebel Carabineers have deserted their leaders and joined the Republicans
 Tries to Meet Franco
 The defense council headed by Miaja has been seeking to negotiate with Franco for an honorable peace but Franco so far has given no sign that he would accept other than unconditional surrender. The Communist rebellion was in protest against the councils peace negotia- tions, demanding a f1ght-to-t -fin- ish.
 Thought It Was Crushed
 Gen. Jose Miaja and his associ- ates in the defense council had be- lieved yesterday that they had crushed the revolt. They had sent an ultimatume to the leaders de- manding surrender. AS for the main body of the Communist troops in the suburbs, the defense council had said that its own men would not fire on the Communists unless they were attacked.
 It was indicated that some if not all of the Communist leaders, and many of the men, had surrendered
 Anarchis shock troops brought from the Guadalajara front faced the main Communist contingents.
 Throughout yesterday afternoon and last night a truce was observed by mutual consent. The Con- munists remained passive, sitting beside their rifles, smoking and talk ing. The defense council men main- tained a close watch on them.
 Nationalist in Trenches
 Nationalist troops remained idle in their trenches, and National ist airplaneS at their fields, as the Madrid defense council attacked re- maining Communist revolting ele- ments with airplanes and infantry today.
 Reports which reached the from tier were that after a day in which mediators sought to induce the re- maining Communist elements to sur- render or go back to their positions in the trenches, the Communists began firing on defense council troops both in the suburbs and sev- eral buildings in the city proper. These reports said it was believed that unruly Communists had dis obeyed the orders of their own lead res.
 These reports came immediately after the imposition by the Nation alists of a blanket blockade of the entire Republican coast, regarded as preliminary to a final offensive and intended both to deprive the Republicans of food and other sup plies and to prevent the escape of

Of the Town Clerk. The committed s reports on both bills will be submit- ted to the General Assembly within the next few days.
 Senator Culhane's bill calls for an amendment to the city charter to allow property owners a year to pay sewer assessments. At pres- ent such assessments must be paid within 120 days.
 It was further provided that in cases where the city has had the aid of WPA or any other federal agency in constructing sewers, the property owners shall have their assessments reduced proportionately. The bill also reduces the rate of interest on delinquent sewer assess ments from g per cent to 6 per cent.
 The senate entered this bill af- ter 8 heated controversy in Wa terbury when group of residents from the East End section of the city, all property owners, appeared before several city boards to ask that they be given additional time to pay their sewer assessments. At a hearing on the bill several weeks ago number of Waterburians spoke in favor of it.
 Should the Legislature accept the committees favorable report and pass the bill, Waterbury may be faced with major financial prob- lem. The bill is retroactive to Jan- uary l.
 Representative Guastaferris bill which now apparently will be re- jected by the assembly calls for elimination of the town clerks of- flee. The town clerks duties would be taken over by the city clerk. The bill was strongly opposed at pub- lie hearing.

COMMUNISTS ARRESTED

Valencia, Spain, March 9.-(UP)- More than 2,500 Communist rebels against the National defense coun- Gil have been arrested at Cartagena and Valencia and an unknown number are held at Madrid, Ali- cante, and Murcia and other points, Gen. Leopoldo Menendez, comman- der of the Republican army of the east, said today.
 Gen. Menendez said that 2,000 men, including Gen. Juan Bernal, were held for court martial at Car tagena, accused of rebelling against the defense council. Another 800, he said, were held here.
 '"The republic as whole is tram quill now, after 72 hours during which he took all precautions" said Gen. Menendez. "Cartagena is calm. It has been in our hands since Tuesday afternoon. The situa- tion is the same at Murcia, which is in our hands now also"
 Gen. Menendez blamed Gen. Ber- nal for the uprising at Cartagena, the fleet base.
 There had been no mention at all of Col. Francisco Galan, Communist whose appointment by the late Juan Negrin government as governor of Cartagena caused the first of two revolts there. The second came from Communists.
 The military governor of Murcia reported that the last semblance of Communist resistance had been ended ther elast night.
 The governor of Almeria, on the south coast, forbade all political meetings without special authoriza- tion, on pain of court martial.

Republicans to foreign countries.
 After admitting that yesterdays official claims that the Communists had been crushed were premature, the defense council urgently called in endorsements from the Republi- can units in the front lines around Madrid and attacked the Commu- mist strong-holds in the outskirts.
 Miaja'S troops, led by mobile units, surrounded the Communist brigade garrisoned at Canilleras and forced its surrender. Later other Communist units were reported sur- rendering, but there still remained large scattered force of rebels, including several strong motorized units, which def1ed the councils au- thority.
 Bomb Communist
 Airplanes bombed Communist troop concentrations in the suburbs and infantry shock troops attacked isolated groups holding out in the city proper.
 It was indicated that the revolt ing troops had defied orders of their leaders to surrender and that no alternative had been left to the de- fense council but to attack.
 Disclosure that fighting had re- started was made in an official note broadcast to the public at 11:30 a. m.:
 Having exhausted all means of persuasion, the defense council has been obliged in the last few hours to use force. It has organized all arms of the service and is now put ting these into play, using aviation against rebel groups and infantry to restore order in the city.
 "The council trusts that those citizens of Madrid who have al- ways given proofs of their heroism will not let themselves be impressed by the rebellion.
 'I,et the people be assured that calm will be restored within a few hours"
