by Jim Mills and Roy Cromartie,
who turned in 10 points apiece, a
scrappy N. C. State college quintet

ward bagged nine points in quick
succession.
Chuck Holley, lanky Duke center,

He made IS points to top the efforts
Of both teams, while his opponent,

quintet. The "Y' team led by 1913 at
the half and increased this leaC early

in a last minute spree, in which the
''Y' defense went to pieces.
The Juniors displayed excellent
form and fighting spirit to down the
hitherto undefeated New Hanover
High school Junior varsity 1918 in a
preliminary to the Calvary-4. NJ. c.

the "Y" team threw up a tight de-

Avid Fight Fans
Wilmington's police are mighty
avid fight fans. They listen 10 EN-
all-from the heavyweight to the
fyweight scraps and follow the
game SO close they'll come near to
calling the round for the finish.
Jack Griffith, the radio dispatch
er, has already got his radio tuned
to the bout tonight and he'll be
more than a little upset if some
major crime breaks loose to dis
turb the fight broadcast.
JunveniIe Boxers
Porter Davis says the best way
to make a boxer out of a boy is to
start him young and that's n rea-
son why he's nursing along a good
ly crop of juvenile boxers for the
Golden Gloves this year.
These juvenile scrappers are get
ting in some good ticks at boxing
experience, too. Tonight ten of the
boys from so to 80 pounds will get
together in five three one-minute
round exhibition bouts at the high
school.
Watch for these little fellows
when they climb into the ring to
battle for Golden Glove honors. .
The Mack Manner
Baseball players call the little
runway between Shibe park and
Connie Mack's Office the Bridge
of Signs" and very good reason
for it too.
Across this runway players go to
sign contracts and ask for raises.
Generally they come back without
the raise because of Mack's man
ner of talking. The AS owner starts
off by praising the work of the
player the past season, asks about
his health and family and then
says Il thought you did fine work
the past season but every club
waived on you when l asked for
them"
That usually halts a pay raise
demand before the question ever
comes out. Jimmy Dykes once
said that he went over the Bridge
of Signs" determined not to sign
for less than a S 1000 raise. He la
ter tiptoed out thankful that Mack
had even offered him a contract.
Note To Boxers
This is in the line of urging all
amateur boxers in the Carolinas
who have not yet filed an entry for
the fifth annual Star-News-Brig-
ade Golden Gloves 10 do so imme-
diately.
Entry blanks may be secured by
writing the Sports department of
the Star-News or the boxer may
fill in the official entry blank that
is being published in the paper.

Entertain EngIishmen
At Luncheon Meeting

Two British labor leaders, after a
months tour of Americas growing
arsenal, predicted here yesterday the
certain downfall of Adolf Hitler.
The two were George A. Isaacs, a
member of Parliament and presi-
dent Of the British Printing and
kindred Trades Federation, and Will
LaWther, chief of the Mine Workers
Federation of Great Britain, with
650O00 members. They were honor

union officials.
As members Of British industrial
mission, they have just returned
from a tour Of arms and munitions
plants that took them to the West
Coast. They will visit Canada be-
fore leaving for Britain.
Tools Are Coming.
Mr.. Isaacs said the no-strike policy
In force in England was formed by
mutual agreement of labor and en-
ployerS and that although there
have been minor work stoppages,
IDpN were SDOll SCI IlSlll.
"All the organizations in the pro-
duction OF munitions and war ma
terials have agreed to set aside the
conditions for which they had fought
for wears, and the only guarantee
is the word of the employers that
these conditions will be returned at
the end of the war" he declared.
I'VE have had many merry fights
in the past and We shall have more
merry fights. but one thing we have
learned is that our employers keep
their word"
Mr.. Isaacs said they would return
to Britain to tell them they can
look forward with faith and hope
that the tools to defeat Hitler are
coming,
"A Real Summer" for Hitler.
"If we get in the spring all We see
coming here. then he Hitler Is
going TO have a real summer, he
added.
Mr.. LaWther, echoing Mr.. Isaacs'
confidence. said: We know that
Hitler represents the greatest men
ace the world has ever seen. Every
liberty is at stake. We know what
out fate would be If he should win.
But he will not win.
Men of the trade unions have
agreed never to give in until we are
successful"

Mr.. Nelson emphasized that IF a

sistance and finds when it is half
finished that he cannot complete It
without getting a priority rating, he
will not be able to get that rating
merely on the plea that he must
have help to wind up his job"
Number of Items Unaffected.
Mr.. Nelson reminded the Senator
that building materials like lumber,
brick, stone, concrete and clay prod
ucts are not particularly scarce and
not under priority control. so that
they may be obtained freely for any
type of building job.
o. P. M. said that the reason for
the copper restriction order was
readily apparent in supply and
demand figures for October. l941.
The total copper demand for the
month. it said, was 259.479 short
tons. of which 144,4 ,43O short tons was
needed by the Army. Navy. lease
lend and other defense agencies.
Total production for the month. in
cluding domestic foreign and scrap,
was said to be 1873, 700 tons.
Every effort for expansion of
supply is being made by the Office
Of Production Management" o. P.
M. said, including exploration for
new deposits. An addition of 10 per
cent to the million tons TO be pro-
duced domestically for 1912 is about
the expected limit" Imports of
copper for next year are expected to
total approximately 100000 tons.
The expected demand for de-
fense and civilian consumption in
1912 was listed at 100000 tons. On
the basis of estimated production
figures. o. p. M said. this would
leave an indicated shortage of about
100000 tons The order applies
equally to scrap and defines copper
