~ AND BRIGADE
TO OPEN SERIES
Varsity Squads Tangle To
morrow Night, Juniors On
Tuesday Night

Varsity teams of the Brigade and
the Y. M. c. A. will clash on the
"Y" court at $50 o'clock Monday
night in the first of their annual Sc
ries Of games, it was announced yes
terday.
A return game will be scheduled
on the Brigade court later in the
season.
Tuesday night, the Brigade Junior
Varsity will visit the "Y" for a
game with the "Y" Juniors, which
will also be the first OF a series.
The Brigade teams have been re-
organized recently and the lineups
which they will throw against the
"Y" forces have not been announced
but are expected to be essentially
the same as in former years.
The "Y" Varsity will pick it's start
ers from the following group: Won
Oesen, Allen, Williams, Davis, Gle.
schen, Banck, Smith, Xanthos, Hen.
derson,, Welsh and one or two 9TH
ers. This team does not stack up as
strong on paper as the "Y" Greenies
of last season but the boys have
shown decided improvement in the
last couple of games and are ex-
pected to give the Brigade boys an
interesting evening.
The "Y" Juniors have shown
steady improvement during the sea-
son although they have lost three
games and do not have a victory to
their credit. This team usually has
to play teams much older and more
experienced than it's members, but
has stood up creditably in games
thus far,

First Presbyterian's west. pocket

exhibition ssof passing and shooting
to down the favored First Baptist

game ON the "Y" court yesterday

The miniature sharpshooters com-
pletely befuddled the Baptists with
the smoothness of their attack and
their ball hawking tactics, holding
them scoreless in the first half and
allowing them only six points in the
final half. James Crowley, Norfleet
Jackson and Norman helms worked
together like a well-oiled machine
and to them goes the major share
of credit for working the ball into
scoring position.

The boys will weigh in for tho
tourney the afternoon of Feb. i
from 3-5:15 p. m.
At this time they will be given a
thorough physical examination to de-
termine their physical fitness to de
combat in the Golden ring. Each
year, the sponsors say, they have
found a lad or two who, unknowing-
ly, have had some physical defect
which would prevent them from
fighting. These lads are advised of
their troubles and urged to take
steps to cure them. No fighter, they
announced, will be allowed to enter
the ring unless he is in good physi al
trim, for the idea of the &C tourney
is not only to develop good boxers
and good sports, but to help the
boys to develop good, strong, healthy
bodies.
Generally the committee is OPP
timistic about the 1910 tourney.
There are more boys entered in the
tourney than there were at this time
last year and everything points to
an increased entry list for the 1910
event.
Another encouraging sign, they
say, is that the tourney is drawing
boys from a much wider territory
ever before, with some boys
applications from around
the Charlotte territory.
, One reason for this, they say, lies
in the Atlanta trip which is given

WHAT DO WE DEFEND?

Step by step in the rapidly expand
ing policy of Intervention every
where, our general staff has been
confronted with new and lightning
like changes in policy. There is this
difference between the Harvesting of
Nazi foreign policy with Nazi mill
tary preparation = that Hitler
planned nothing on foreign policy
that his general staff hadn't been
told to prepare in military strength
and wasn't given time to prepare.
In our case, the whole surprising
brainstorm shift in constantly in
creasing foreign policy of threat and
aggression has proceeded with no
regard whatever to our military
preparation to make it good and
with no sufficient allowance of time
and money to do so.
General Marshall's talk about an
army of 100000 to 100000 men
was wholly based on new diplo-
matte theory that we are to police
every American country from the
North Pole to Cape Horn. That the
DRY is utterly fantastic and impos-
sible. We can't afford it, couldn't
do it and have no business indulg-
ing in any such popular deceits and
ludicrous international posturing.
1t is about time that this govern
ment settled down and decided eX-
actly what its foreign policy is 60
ing to be and, more precisely, as
controlling that, exactly what pol
icy it can enforce, without abSurdity
and possible disaster, within the
realistic and reasonable limits of its
present and immediately potential
strength of arms and men on land,
sea and in the air.
In that connection, the immediate
controlling nubbin is naval and po-
litical policy in the Pacific. AS be-
tween our necessary defensive pol
icy of remaining dominant on both
American coasts as far as Natal in
Brazil and in addition to that of
maintaining a threatening attitude
in Asia, Indo-China and the East
Indies, there is a difference of un-
estimated billions of dollars of ex-
pense and of comparative safety as
contrasted with sprawling all over
the map and constantly risking not
only our prestige but our peace and
even our existence.
This is a question that has been
scarcely even debated. For what
stake, reason or obligation are we
becoming so insecure in the Atlantic
because the bulk of our fleet is in
the Pacific that Mr.. Bullitt can tell
our people that we are in as grave
a danger of invasion as was France
year ago?
The foundation of that part of our
policy should be brought promptly
into discussion and threshed out to
some understandable and defensible
conclusion.
1t is not the business of general
staff to plan policy, let us remember.

AIR BASES FOR U. S.

Getting air and naval bases, from
Iceland to the South American
bulge" should have the unified
support of this country. 1t is a
move in the direction we must go
which is to make our defense indie
pendent of the strength of any ma
ton but our own. The only criti-
cism of it is the ineXcusable delay
and lack of foresight in not having
done it long ago.
But what we are giving for them
is something else again. 1t has not
been revealed. Neither have the de-
tails of our defensive deal with Can
ada. Canada is a nation at war.
She has gone across the sea to at
tack European power. 1t puts us
in a position of saying to Europe:
American nations can attack you
but if you counterattack them we
will fight YOU"
Perhaps in view of our geographic
and strategic problem, that can't
be helped. But do our Canadian
and British secret understandings
go further? There was some i'm
plication in Mr.. Churchill's recent
peroration that they do-British and
American "co-operation" in war
rolling along the Old Man River,
which is a symbol for fateful in
evitability-the ''fiotillas of 1941,"
which sounded like a promise of
American naval intervention.
Mr.. Roosevelt is reported to have
secuted the idea that there is any,
thing in the deal for bases about
our detaching a part of our insult
ficient navy-50 destroyers-to fight
on the side of Britain. But things
that Mr.. Roosevelt scouts, like his
third term ambition, have curious
and tortuous way of promptly COM
ing true.
No matter how it may be dis
guised or how warlike lawyers now
split hairs, the detachment of those
destroyers is so clearly direct par
ticipation in this war that two years
ago, examining the question coldly,
there is not an international lawyer
on earth who would not have re-
garded a contrary view as prepoS-
ferrous.
From his Chicago quarantine"
speech to the present moment, there
has not been an act of the PreSi-
dent inconsistent with an inference
of his willingness, if not his inten-
ton, to mix this country up in the
wars of both Europe and Asia. On
the contrary, with increasing tempo
and intensity, every act has been
completely consistent with precisely
that aim.
Mr.. Ickes, Mr.. Wallace and others
have emphasized Mr.. Wilkes SEN
dorsement" of "our foreign policy"
Mr.. Ickes has suggested that this
is like the God-awful 1886 campaign
where there were no issues except
1.-THE New Deal is good but I can
deal it better" The New Deal boys,
hell-bent-for-a- war-crisis-before-No

over carefully.
Some of Mr.. WILKES Republican
and Democratic supporters in New
York are also minded to involve us
in foreign war But most of this
country isn't. Especially that great
stretch of America from the Ale
ghenies west isn't and, as read his
utterances, Mr.. Willkie isn't.
