Northern Interests AssaiI
Freight Rate View
By the Associated Press.


Northern interests assailed yester-
day a finding by Interstate Com
merce Commissioner William e. Lee
that the national freight structure
contained rates prejudicial to the
South.
Arguing before the full commits
sion. opposition lawyers urged re-
lection of Mr. Lees proposed report.
and declared the facts demanded
dismissal of the South's plea for
lower rates to Northern markets.
Mr. Lee wrote his report after
lengthy hearings on petition by
the Southeastern Governors Con-
ference for rate equality between
the North and South. The Cover
nors, upheld on principal points by
the commissioner, complained that
the South was penalized by a sys-
tenn of rates substantially higher
than those prevailing in Northeast
ern-generally known as Official
freight territory.

New Citizens Hear
Duties Outlined,
Presidents MESSAGE
1000 Students, Guests
At Department Of
Agriculture Auditorium

Washington's observance Of the
FIRST national New Citizens Day"
brought nearly 1000 Americaniza-
ton School students and guests to
the Department of Agriculture au-
ditorium last night for a program
that combined talks on the RESPONSE
bilities of citizenship with native
songs and dances of half hundred
nations.
Jointly sponsored by the Ameri-
canization School Association and
the Bureau of immigration and
Naturalization of the Labor De-
partment, the meeting featured
talks by Secretary of Labor Per-
kins, immigration Commissioner
James l.. Houghteling, Associate
Justice Alan T. Goldsborough of
the District Court and Miss Maude
E. Alton, administrative principal
, OF District Americanization work.
: After telling the audience that
similar meetings were being held at
the same time in every State and
principal city of the country, Com
missioner Houghteling read a mes
sage from President Roosevelt in
which a welcome was extended lin
the name of the United States of
America
Duty Pointed Out.
"When they (the new citizens)
took up new homes in this country"
the message said in part, they i'm
mediately came under the protec-
ton of its just and generous Con-
stitution, which guaranteed them
the right of the benefits of our free
institutions.
Now they have attained the ad-
ditional rights and responsibilities OF
citizenship. In return the price
which they must pay and which, l
am sure, they will pay gladly, is the
performance of the high duty of
supporting our Government at all
times and of living here as good
neighbors,"
Col Frederick A. Delano, president
of the Americanization School As
soclatlon, introduced Secretary Per-
kins who, in an address broadcast to
the other citizenship meetings
throughout the country, said she eX-
pected these men and women of
good will to contribute to "a civil
ization and conception of Govern
ment and mans relation to Govern
ment that is still growing under a
great and flexible Constitution"
Drive on Unemployment.
She also predicted that within
the next 10 or Is years I'VE ought
to make unemployment in this
country an unnecessary accident"
Rounding out the evening program
was an exhibit of the songs, dances
and poetry of the countries from
which the new citizens came. The
entire program was arranged by
Souren H. Hanessian, vice president

urges 'em home with a whip in his left hand.
 There's never been a champion left-handed golfer, but the links have seen many a good southpaw player. Such as Ben Richter of St. Louis. He shot tournament rounds of 67-74-69-69 for a 72-hole total of 279 and that's top golf in any league.
 A Shot Putter
 Sam Francis won a national col legiate discus championship and flock of shot-put medals with left handed throws. He also caused plen- ty of havoc with his left-footed kicks in football. Portsider Bill Miller of Stanford was an Olympic pole-vaulter few years back. Port slider Fred Etchen was champion trapshooter.
 Southpaw boxing champions in re- cent year include Featherweight Freddy Miller, Welterweight and Middleweight Lou Brouillard and Middleweight Jimmy Wilson. Wrong sider Lew Tender never won championship-because Lightweight Benny Leonard happened to be around-but Tender was one of the greatest fighters of this century.
 Left-handers are outnumbered but they're certainly not outclassed.

Track, Field Show Is Set
 For5aiurday
Rivals Will Seek 10 Break Mithigan's $ Grip on
 Championships

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. March 16 -The midwest's travelling indoor track and field show, with an en- tourage that probably will include 400 athletes from more than 25 schools, will make its annual stop in Indianapolis, March IS, for the colorful seventh annual Butler Uni- versity relays.
 In the gaily- -bedecked Butler field house the best of the Big Ten ath- letes, aided by stars from Marquette Pittsburgh, Michigan State, Notre Dame and many other schools will make their annual assault on the IA regular relays records. A crowd that probably will reach 10000 will look on.
 The 18th event on the program always is a special race. This year Ray Sears, one time holder of the American indoor record for the Emile run and now Butler track coach, is lining up field for a spe- cial mile-and half run.
 It is reasonably sure that Don Lash, the racing Indiana state po- liceman, will be one of the com- petitors. Sears also is attempting to line up Glenn Cunningham Chuck Fenske of Wisconsin and the Rideout twins of North Texas State for the event. Cunningham has appeared here several times.
 There's a Team Title
 The Butler meet, founded in 1883 by Hermon Phillips, a 1928 Olympic team member, has grown in size and importance until it now ranks as one of the finest indoor shows in the U. s. Unlike at most relays, there is a team champion ship and the main objective of most of the larger teams this year will be to break the University of Michigan's grip on the title.
 In 1853 Indiana took the team trophy, but Michigan has finished first every year since.
 In addition to the customary en- tries from the Big Ten teams and other squads in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan. Illinois and Kansas, other schools which have indicated they may enter this year include Kansas State. Rice Institute, Oklahoma and North Texas Teachers.
 Records the boys will be shoot ing for include three recognized or claimed world indoor marks.
 Probably the outstanding one is the 6-foot-9z finch high jump by Mel Walker, Ohio State negro, here m 1887. Another is the "A seconds established by Ken Sandbach of Purdue in the 60-yard high hur-

LEFT-HANDED
 SPORT STARS
 0UTNUMBERED
Whatever you Say, How ever, They Are Certain
 ly Nof 0uttIdssed

CHICAGO, March Is. Melio Bettina is the latest of the left handlers to reach the top in sports.
 In older days wise men said south paws were handicapped because the left side was ordinarily inferior in muscle, strength, readiness and skill to the right.
 But that theory has been ex- ploded. The best of the southpaws have more than held their own with right-handers in sports.
 Bettina is the worlds light heavy weight boxing champion, New York version. He recently knocked out Tiger Jack Fox
 Young Corbett III is another port slider. He was worlds middleweight champion in 1883. Only a few months ago he lost to Freddie Apostoli in a championship bout in New York
 Tennis Turnarounds
 Several top-flight tennis players swing from the wrong side. Among these are Britain's Charles Hare, Davis cup star, and the Misses Kay Stahhmers and Margot Lurhb.
 One of Army's best football play CTS last year was "Huey' Long. His left-handed passes caused confusion among the sailors as Army beat Navy in their annual battle.
 Baseball has seen few greater pitchers than Lefty Grove. Carl Hubbell and Lefty Gomez. And a guy named Ruth set home-run record while swinging from the left side.

dles in 1884 and equalled last year by Harvey Woodstra of Michigan State. The third is the mark of 6.7 seconds set by Heye Lambertus of Nebraska for the 60-yard low hur- dies in 1884
 Records Don't Last
 Incidentally, not single record set up at the first Butler relays in 1883 still is on the books. Three meet records were broken last year and one was tied.
 The pageantry of the Butler event adds much to the color of the show. The parade of all the competing athletes and the Relays Queen and her court and the march of the Queen to her throne in the center of the huge field house start the relays. Then the American flag is raised while the band plays the national anthem.
 After each event trumpeters sum- mon the first, second- and third place winners to the Queens throne, where they receive trophies.

Viking Five Beafs Juneau
 By 12 poinfs
Biq Crowd Sees Pefers- burg Cage Squad Roll
 Up 44-32 Victory

The Petersburg Vikings gave Ju- neaus Crimson Bears Morse yer sion of a sound shellacking last night in the High School gymnasium, crowded with an estimated 500 peo- pie that watched the visitors pile up points early to win by score of A to 32.
 Petersburg's squad outpassed, out ran, outshot, and out-thought the Juneau lads. but although the local team lost this first of a best two two of three series for the Southeast Alaska crown, Petersburg was beau- tiful to watch.
 Something was seen by the crowd last night that is only seen with teams on which the players have been tossing basketballs at each other for the better part of their lives. That something is an old trick, but always good for keeping the ball in action, the simple exped- tent of having one man always fol- lowing the stern quarters of free lancing dribbler, the man following always being eligible to receive a pass to the rear when the dribbler reaches an impasse.
 Use Headwork
 Petersburg saved lot of balls that way last night. And they made a lot of baskets by reason Of their headwork. one neat draw play effected by three men under and around the basket-a man comes in from the right and under the basket where he sucks every guard in the vicinity out of position in fear of a set-up shot, the man with the ball stands ready to feed from the foul line-and the forgotten man on the left sidelines is an easy re- ceiver and a cinch for an unguarded pot shot.
 That play sounds simple and it is but Juneau lost at least four bask- cts on this one play alone. They lost a few baskets also on the old-old one-two play where player passes to another, charges in, and receiv- es a return pass unchecked because his guard has drawn out of posi- ton to check the man first passed to.

over-ambitious dribblers, and left ragged defense.
 Frequent substitutions and resub- stitutions from the Juneau bench must have kept the team on frayed nerve ends, wondering how long be- fore the next change, and each man trying too-desperately to make a showing in the few minutes he might be left in the game.
 The game started closely, but the Petersburg boys pulled away, H. 8 first quarter, 25-l8 at the half, 37-22 at third quarter, and 44-32 at the end of the game.
 Petersburg boys had trouble with fouls and two members, lloyd Ped erson, and Tom Thompson went to the bench by the foul route
 Palmer Pederson was injured in the third quarter and taken from the game as he wrenched torn muscles in his right leg.

 In the first game of the evening between the Freshman and the Grade School, the Frosh won out by one point, 1917, but fans in the grandstand saw great basketball team for 1924 in those little eighth graders.

type of shot seems to be a deadly Petersburg style.
 Palmer Pederson and Tom Wan berg, forwards, both snared eight points apiece, and Wanberg dis played a heads-up type of ball that was without question the best ball playing on the floor.
 Wanberg has shifty step with a deceptive dribble effected by a change of pace. He is good ball handler and is fast when speed is called for. He did not shoot great deal, but fed his teammates cons tantly. However, he does have one handed push shot that Is nice to watch.
 Juneau's High Pointer
 On the Juneau side of the fence, forward McDaniels bucketed ten points and Hussey looped eight for top honors on the Crimson Bear squad.
 Juneau was beaten, but it does not mean, necessarily, that Juneau has a poor reservoir of basketball mater ial. All of the boys on the squad are good players, but they had stage fright last night-badly, and it raised hob with teamwork, brought on long and wild passes, spoiled
