Plays It's First Strong

Raiders in Upset
Eastern Hard Pressed
To Knock OFF Wilson;
No Team Eliminated
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Most improved team in the inter-
high basket ball race is Central's
vikings, but at this late date likely
IL will avail them little. For the
first time since the series opened last
month the Vikings demonstrated a
measure of team play and consist
ency at hitting the cords yesterday
as they upset the experienced West
ern quint, 1917, in the last half of
a schoolboy twin bill at Roosevelt.
That upset ranks with the one the
Red Raiders themselves pulled re-
Gently in spilling Roosevelt. In the
opening half of yesterdays double
header. Woodrow Wilson supplied
some surprises and fireworks by ex-
tending a heavily favored Eastern
oint before going under, 22-27.
The interhigh championship race
has only two more weeks TO run in
the round robin series and as yet no
team definitely is in or out OF the
playoffs. Every team still has a
mathematical chance at least of get
ting into the championship round.
Leaders Could Lose Out.
Roosevelt and Eastern, tied for
first place with three wins and one
defeat each, could drop the re-
mainder of their games and be
showed out, while the two bottom
teams, Wilson and Anacostia, could
earn places by winning from here
on in. It's going to be close battle
with only seven more games sched-
uled and likely a playoff or so, such
as those Of the last two years, will be
needed to decide few places in the
final playoffs.

 Tokyo. Sept. 1e-(UP)-More than 50 members of the Soviet embassy staff and embassy families, includ- ing the wife of Russian Ambassador Constantin Smetanin, left Tokyo to- day en route to Russia.
 The departure of the embassy group coincided with increasing ten- sion between Russia and Japan.

 The mines were alleged to have sunk two Japanese fishing boats and the foreign off1ce demanded "ur- gently" that the Russian eliminate the danger because of Japan'S as- serted desire to maintain peace and tranquility in the waters around the island empire.

 German blitz armies, sweep ing around embattled Kiev, plunged deep into the indus trial Ukraine today in a drive to collapse the Russian armies defending the Soviet's main oil and war production centers before winter or arri- val of British American material.
 Four Russian armies of probably 1000 or more men were trapped and being "annihilated" by two Luft- waffe-led panzer columns that en- circled Kiev and closed the arms Of a pincers i25 miles farther to tho east, the German high command reported.
 Moscow merely admitted that fierce fighting had been renewed around Kiev, which has been llil- der sporadic attack since July i2, but high British officials including First Lord of the Admiralty A. V. Alexander emphasized the gravity of the threat to the Red army in the south and the urgency of iu- creased aid from Britain and Amer lea.
 Great issues tremble in the bal. arce," Alexander said.
 The war news from the Ukraine also depressed the London stock exchange sharply, looping off B. 6o0,0o0 pounds (about $l4,00o,00o) in market values.
 London Grows Anxious
 Importance of the German push into the Ukraine was illustrated by London's anxiety over whether the eastern defenses could be stabilized in front of the Donets industrial basin and the Caucasus oil pipe line until winter and foreign aid offset the punch of the invaders.
 Hitler obviously was throwing everything into the Ukraine drive and appeared to be attempting to get a central front offensive under way again, although the Russian armies defending the road to Mos- COW reported they still held the initiative.
 The battle for Leningrad con- tinued fiercely, with the Russians again reporting they had recap tured several strategic villages in attacks designed to relieve the pres sure on the bombed and besieged city.
 The Germans said they were con- stantly tightening their "steel ring" around Leningrad which Berlin called a suicide city" which faces a fate worse than that of bonb- pitted Warsaw.

 London, Sept. 19 - (UP) = A British war cabinet spokesman said today that Britain is watching Ger many's advance into Russia with deep anxiety" and the problem of rushing United States and British aid to the Soviet was called the most urgent of teh war.
 The war cabinet spokesman was A. V. Alexander, First Lord of the Admiralty, who pledged that Britain was doing and would do the utmost to bring aid to Russia.
 We are watching with profound admiration but with deep anxiety also," he said, "the swaying fortunes and the heroic resistance that our Russian allies are offering.
 "The most fierce, bloody and ter- rible battles that the world has ever witnessed are being fought out amid scenes of indescribable horror.
 Great issues tremble in the ball. ance."
 Alexander made his statement be- fore a meeting of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering.
 He admitted that the task of rushing war supplies to the Soviet was difficult but said that the extent of aid being given to Russia was conditioned only by physical dift1- culties.
 "All that can be done is being done, and will be done," he said. we are with Russia to the end in this business"
 It was indicated that the Ger mans driving through the Ukraine were aiming not only at Kharkov but at the great Stalino-Ordzhoni- kidze industrial region to the east and at Rostov at the mouth of the Don.
 They had cut of the Crimean Peninsula. theyIhad put Kiev into the middle of great steel wedge and their drive had now become a threat to the Caucasus oil region.
