MuckIe Arrested In
Court; Sent To Gang

Z ATLANTA, Ga.-(SNS-
Ben Muckle, we'll known Au.
burn Avenue lottery character,
was .on his way to the chain gang
Monday, following his arrest in
Fulton Criminal Court where he
had gone to face a charge of
gaming. Governor River
through his secretary, Downing
Musgrove, notified Fulton county
officials of the move Saturday.
Muckle was granted a pardon on
November 8, 1899, after he had
received sentence of twelve
months to serve six in lottery
case, court attaches said. He had
been involved with the law in
speeding and other charges re-
Gently, leading to the revoking of
the conditional pardon.
A conditional pardon granted
Morris Walker was also revoked
along with Muckle's.

Basketball Tournament at Tuskegee
Institute Next; To Continue Drills

SAVANNAH, Ga. - March g.
(SNS- Displaying tall, sharp
shooting aggregation in superb
physical condition, the Cuyler
Beach High School quintet of this
city captured the coveted cham
pionship in the annual Georgia
State Basketball Tournament here
tonight by turning back the SEN
sational Booker T. Washington
High School juggernaut of Atlanta,
Georgia 1881.
The game was close virtually
every step of the way, but the
Cuylerites, inspired by the wild
roofing and insistent demands OF
an unusually partisan gallery, rose
to the ethereals in the waning
moments of the battle and liter
ally showed the Atlantans under a
fusillade of field goals and char
ity shots.

run Of 81 straight at a time when
competition was much improved.
AS Morehouse did eight years
previous, the Purple found Clark
her toughest rival. She took Clark
the first time by one solitary point
and the final tilt ended in a riot
Alabama came up with the next
super team back in 1886 with three
great All-SIAC sensations includ-
ing the peerless Carlos Parker.
This team was never defeated but
aside from Morehouse, had little
real competition.
ENTER XAVIER
Ted Wright then meteored across
the armament with two grand
teams in 1888 and 1899. The first
combination lost only three games
in total of q STAG games play
ed and because of two photo-fin-
iSned losses to the famed Rens,
27-21, and 49-48, has been called
the greatest STAG team of history.
No better defensive team has ever
been seen in collegiate circles.
-Four of them earned All-SIAC
recognition before. graduating,
something no predecessor had ac-
compliSned. Bray -Rhodes-C
Gant-McQuitter. what a combi-
nation?
Ted's 1889 sensations set a record
by producing four All~SIAC men
on the same squad. Yet, today,
this team is question mark. A
year ago IL was lauded as superior
even to the original Xavier kings
but weaknesses have been discov-
cred.
The team apparently is invinci-.
BILE when it takes the lead but it
has yet to prove that it can come
from behind and win a crucial
contest. In this respect the orr
ginal Xavier team was short.
Xavier teams bog down when the
going gets merciless, when the OPP
position is really tough.
The Ambassadors attained this
perfection in their senior term.
They took Morehcuse, 26-21, after
trailing at the half, 1912. They
took S. c.. State in the 1888 semi
finals, 34-19, after trailing, 14-12,
at the half. The present Xavier
clan must prove its right to the
rank of greatness. F1orida's 52-35
rout oyer it at Tuskegee is a be-
smirch which may never be totally
forgotten. None of the teams list
ed here were ever beaten so de-
cisively4
THE CLARK SPEEDERS
This brings us to the Clark team
of today, the 1939-1940 speeders
with EVERY member nominated
for All-SIAC during it's two-year
course and four named on the 1910
team to tie xavier's 1889 record.
Pemberton listed in 1889 at cen
ter for the visitation five. Hender-
son and younger also were named
on that selection. Watson was all
tournament in 1899 and 1910 and
Coates was visitation selection in
1910, even though he was better
performer the year previous.
This gives Clark the first ALL
STAG five in history. No team has
been harder to defeat than this
one, No team has had the long
distance bombers the likes of
Henderson, younger and Penn
berton for dramatic, whirlwind
Surges from behind.
No team ever worked harder or
trained more diligently. No team
ever had five better shotmakers,

 Faces Pierre
 Coming Fall

PIERRE, S. D., July 17.-Voters in this South Dakota capital will be skillful ballot markers when No- vember rolls around. They already have been to the polls five times this year. .
 A regular election was called to fill vacant mayorship. Com missioner Roberts. resigned and Commissioner Griffin kept his job to campaign. Griffin was elected Mayor, but so many candidates tried for Roberts conmissionership that Election No. 2 was held to break the ties.
 In Election No. 3, city voters participated in state primaries. No. was called when Commis- sioner Oldaker resigned to become Police Chief and Griffin resigned to be sworn as Mayor. Several tried for Griffin's commission job. One filed for Oldaker's and was elected. But again none won a majority in the Griffin race, ana No. 5 was held as a run-off.
 Just to keep in trim, many resi- dents here will be voting in the state Republican and Democratic conventions and in some of the half dozen fraternal conventions here between now and November.

 The Times account continued as follows:
 Alaska Day was celebrated yes terday with ceremonies in which Alaskan officials and former resi- dents of Alaska participated. The guests of honor were Miss Alaska and Miss Nome, who are, respec- lively, Miss Minnie Motschman, half Eskimo girl who works in Fairbanks department store, and Miss Margaret Scott of Nome. They were escorted through a round of functions by Anthony J. Dimond, Alaskan delegate to the House of Representatives; Rex Beach, the author; Bob Crawford, singer and composer, and Donald Mcdonald, member of the Alaskan Interna- tional Highway Commission.
