French to Blow Up Port Works

Colonial Secretary, Back in Vichy,
Hurries to Confer With Petoin

Gen. Huntziger during recent days.
Most observers are convinced that
such a move is certain to be fol-
lowed by other African demands by
the Nazis, particularly should Brit
ish activity in Libya be increased
In turn 1t is widely forecast that
African concessions probably would
mean the rupture of the already
strained Franco-American relations,
which the NaZis are eagerly pro-
noting.
In this connection. the recall Of
CASTOR Henri-Haye as AmbaSsa-
dor to Washington also is reported
imminent. Gen. Weygand earlier
was mentioned as the possible sue
cessor to Mr.. Henri-Haye, but this
is no longer believed likely. How
ever, the selection has not as yet
been made.

OVERTIME SCRAP YEsTER.
DAY: ARITAs HIGHEST IN
D1vIDUAL SCORER

With peace restored within its
ranks, the Arnold Hornet five
yesterday afternoon broke a tie
in an overtime period to nose the
Cordova Blanks 1929 and even
the junior high cage champion
ship playoff at game each.
Outplaying the Hornets in the
fourth quarter, Cordova's rockies
came from behind to knot the
score 27-27. They had trailed the
Arnolds eight points at halftime
but narrowed the margin to four
markers in the third round.
Wednesday the Blanks edged
the Hodnets 22-18 in a fourth
quarter rally to claim the playoff
opener.
Fighting desperately for vic
tory that would have given them
the title, the Cordovas sank only
one of six field goal attempts and
muffed two free throws in the ex-
ira period. They effectively held
the Arnolds to- four basket tries
but Red" Wells made good use
of two. u ~
The stellar playing of Lefty
Aritas, who scored II points, kept
the Blanks in the game. He con-
sistently pierced the Hornet de-
tense, sank a number of mid
court losses and was the coolest
player on the floor.
Testifying to the restoration of
harmony among the Hornets was
the even distribution of points.
Pierce, Wells and Schoneck, the
scoring trio of the first-half
schedule winners, each racked up
nine. P. Colgate contributed the
remaining four points.
Fast and furious from the start,
the game developed into rough
and tumble affair in the fourth
and overtime periods.
Third and deciding scrap is be-
ing playel this afternoon at the

56-game tournament.
