In Court Battles
Eagles Rush From Reur
Cadets Foil Just Shy
With BeIuted Drive

A 12-point spree in the last period
and the personal exploits of Fran
ME Counselman enabled Gonzaga to
come from behind last night to nose
out Georgetown Prep, 36-32, in the
feature game of a high school
double header at the Catholic U.
gym.
Another late drive featured the
opener, only it failed to close the
gap sufficiently, and Washington
Lee also won a close one, beating St.
Johns, 1892.
Prep took an early 5-point lead
and maintained about that margin
through most of the game. 1t led,
III. 1915 and 1924, at the end of
the first three quarters, respectively
The Eagles couldn't fathom the
Prep shifting zone-as they did sew
eral weeks ago when they won, 1925
and only Counselman with bril-
liant exhibition kept them in the
game. He counted 20 points for
individual honors and was the only
Eagle to score at all during the
second period,
Barrett and Decker Lead.
Bob Barrett and Ben Decker
paced the early Prep drive. Barrett
leading the way as the Little Hoyas
stayed in front during a hot third
period. In the final frame Gonzaga
pulled even when Al Lauck dropped
one from the side. and went in
front on another toss by Bernie
Nolan. Cornselmsn added the
clincher as Prcn vas limited to two
field goals BY Raw Srhneider and
Bill Cremen in the last minutes.
The first game started to be a
walkaway for Washington Lee.
Courtney Owens. Rube McNab and
John Grinnell sank a pair of goals
apiece to blaze the way into 22-9
edge in the first half, and it seemed
the Generals would coast in. They
held a 32-l7 lead going into the
final frame when the Johnnies sud-
denly got hot.
Dudley. Hughes Cut Margin.
Chuck Dudley and George Hughes
dropped in several from difficult
angles while the Generals were
being limited to two field goals.
Washington-Lee's early lead was too
much, however. and the Johnnies
had to be content with the satisfac-
ton they got from throwing a scare
into the Northern Virginia cham
pions.
The Generals almost fouled them
selves out of the game, committing
l9 errors. Poor free shooting by
the Johnnies cost them the game

Mill UIrieh Captures
Sherbahn Pin Stake
With 1,O45 Score

A 98-pin handicap and one of the
hottest bowling hands of the sea-
son was the combination that car
ried young Mill Ulrich of Mount
Rainier to victory last night in the
annual Dutch" Sherbahn Handicap
Open at the Takoma Recreation.
Coming back strongly with III
and $50 games after a let-down
midway through the seven-game
test, young Ulrich piled up scratch
score of CAT, second only to AStor
Clarke's 956. Clarke, rolling from
scratch. bagged fifth money with
his spectacular pin-spilling. Ul-
rich's 1045 total gave him 56-pin
margin over Runner-up Rex Stew
art of Takoma, who marked up a
942 scratch score, but had only a
79-stick handicap.
Carrying a LOT average in the
Mount Rainier League, Ulrich start
ed auspiciously, rattling off 1856 and
l31, but dropped to 106 in his third
game He prodded his total to 1l6
in the fourth, put on more pressure
with a 1877 and then carved out the
high scratch game of the evening,
I'll. He finished with $50.
His triumph in star-studded
field of 88 entries, largest in any
tournament at the suburban alley
in recent years, netted him s75.

1 Am an American

What does 1t mean to be an American citizen? Tomorrow millions of men and women in the United States will be think ing about that. The day has been set apart by Congress as T am an American Day." honoring especially those who have attained full citizenship during the past year either by having become 2l years old if native born, or by naturalization if born elsewhere. But every American ought to think about 1t, too, in these days when to be an American Is a precious privilege.
 What is 1t, to be an American? It is to be free man or free woman in a free land It Is to walk unafraid, fearing no one, secure in the knowledge that before the peoples laws all are equal,
 It is to think, and read, to speak and write freely; to seek the truth without hindrance; to breathe the air of a great, free land that still belongs to the people who inhabit 1t. It is to be governed under a constitution adopted by the people, which they may change at will, and under laws passed and administered by public servants elected by the people. It to any mans vote.
 4C IS UO lOOk OIle HelgklDOE III IIle 4dCS, be he rich or poor, and to know oneself as good man as he. It is to worship what ever God one finds in the heart, and to worship Him as conscience dictates. It is to bow to no authority but those which the people themselves have ordained and maintain.
 It Is to grant freely to fellow-Aneri- cans all rights and privileges one asks for oneself, and to expect as much from them. It Is to keep for oneself certain corners of the mind, certain phases of intimate and personal life, secure against state to which the people themselves have said "Keep Out!"
 To be an American? It Is to be man, or 6 woman, before men and before God, with the dignity which God breathed into man when He made him "cnly a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor"
 That Is what 1t Is to be an American. That Is what we celebrate on May 18. That is the ideal to which we dedicate ourselves Where we have fallen short of 1t, and the instances are many, that Is the measure of our failure to achieve in full the task we have set ourselves the most glorious task a people ever under took. Our failures as well as our suc- cesses are our own. We take them to our selves, and looking at them squarely, each of us can yet say with pride, "1 am an Arnerican!"

The revised plans for New York's Bat tery Park development makes no pro- vision for the Aquarium and city officials are quite concerned over just where they will house the many fine specimens of finny creature, as well as other aquatic inhabitants, now at the Aquarium. Some people think 1t would be good idea to build a suitable museum down at Coney Park or at Jacob Riis Park in Brooklyn, but both those have been drowned upon as has the original plan of Park Commis- sioner Moses to transfer the Aquarium to, Bronx Park, Mayor LaGuardia is dead set against this latter idea, so 1t looks now as If some new and perhaps un- thought of spot will finally be selected. So long as 1t Is available to the thousands of people who flock in to see New York's wonders, it'll be all right, though we don't mind telling New York officials they'll never have another Aquarium like the present one when they move away from the Battery and the scared old dirty building now in use.

Trade School Likely

Legislators at Hartford now seem more disposed to look with favor on the Wa terbury trade school appropriation bill. It apparently isn't going to be used any longer as a political football. Whether that means those who were able to get legislative delays on the measure suc- ceeded in getting promise of political patronage in return isn't told in the lat est news reports. However, if they were depending on Waterbury officials, such as Mayor Vincent Scully and our four members of the Assembly, we doubt if much cooperation was secured
 The WaterburianS have been very vehe- ment in their statements about not want ing legislation passed for the benefit of the city when 1t means return payment of some sort of political promise. And we don't think that Waterburians want that sort of a trade school either. If 1t has to be bought for few political jobs, whats the sense of proposing any sort Of legislation for Waterbury or for any other city or town in the state. We can't quite understand why legislators have to re- sort to this type of tactics when we are striving to get away from all this sort Of thing
 The city wants and needs a trade school. The sooner we can get such an institution the better off we'll be. And we hope that sane leadership in the Legisla- ture will see to 1t that the sanity of various members, both Democratic and Republi- can, prevails. It's good to see that a small bloc of Republicans had the cour- age to insist that the school appropria- ton bill be considered on its merits and not with strings attached.

v Custodians, of the Library of Congress evidently read the war news from Eng land quite carefully. Right now plans are afoot to provide an adequate storage place - secret one where will be stored all the valuable and historical papers now in the Capital. There are all sorts of treasures that should go into this hiding-place so we hope that the S Sigger than S even @ they iDs anticipate We state capitals, might do the same thing, particularly along the Atlantic Coast. While this is purely war-scare stuff, it's also a wise precaution even If 1t never is necessary to resort to storage.

Not Much Mud This Spring

Although there Is determined bloc of legislators backing the proposal that the dirt road fund be "upped" from $3,- 100000 to $5,000,000 this year, no one has as yet said that 1t was necessary to do this to get the farmers out of the mud. This would be bad spring to try such slogan on the city-bred legislators, because there hasn't been any mud any where in this state for good long time. And there isn't an awful lot of mud in the rural regions any more due to the SPA 100000 that has been spent on dirt roads the last eight years.
 The Bridgeport Post thinks that the system of distributing $17,750 to each of the 169 towns is at fault. It can't qiute conceive of fund being split up in 169 parts regardless of the needs of requirements of the individual communi- ties. This was sore point when the state finally did set up the dirS road fund back in ex-governor Wilbur L. Crosss second term. And after all schemes for distribution had been discussed 1t was finally decided that from such fund no one town should take any more than the other.
 The Post calls it a sheer handout" and goes on to say Tt has been used in a
 
 money comes from the pockets of motor istS most of whom have no dollars to spare Some of the smaller towns with large mileage of dirt roads ought to get more of this fund than they now receive. Others with higher proportion of paved roads and more resources of the'r own ought to get less. This arbitrary arrange inent should be discarded for some scien- tific distribution. No more money should be showed into a rat-hole."
 On the other hand Highway Commis- sioner William J. Cox says that there is small percentage of dirt roads now with out some sort of upkeep He thinks em- phasis should be laid in the next four or five years on catching up with our main routes across the state and the very im- portant state routes linking them, such as the Naugatuck Valley road for one. We agree with him and trust the legisla- h1ks WAl ses it fl1ae way. too.

Selected Poem
LILY or THE MoHAWKs

(By Thomas D. Coyne in the Boston Post) o! lovely lily of the Mohawk tribe Your valiant virtues would fain describe And beg to follow the heroic life Which you found possible midst savage strife; o! fairest daughter of pagan race Must you have seen His holy face, Else, how could you tender thing Out Of utter darkness such beauty wiring. For all your people you have won The heart of Him the only One That sees not red. nor white, nor black; Just souls He died to ransom back: Back from darkness and the gloom Of hfe's primeval sin and doom. Brave, modest madden, lily white, How well you've shed eternal light. Kateri, in so wild place
 How findeth you such tranquil grace Was the pang of insect, sting of bee, Naught but sheer joy of ecstasy: And by what lofty pine or oak
 Sought you the sweetness of His yoke? Dear dusky maid, no modern spire Can hold on high brighter fire. Where in the forest fastness beat The drums of war that e'er could meet, The pounding cadence of your purest love For the Chief of chiefs, Who reigns above; Or where the arrow swift and true, As the shafts of truth you so well knew? Tekakwitha, angel of an ancient mold, Pierce my poor heart and forever hold. Ahl now I see-tis all so plain! Twas in that land where Jogues was slain, You found the tree whereone he scribed The sweet name of Jesus before hedied: Pray! Indian maiden of an humble heart, Of those priceless riches grant me but part; That my everlasting happiness may ascribe To the lovely lily of the Mohawk tribe. \ THOUGHT FOR TODAY SATURDAY. ... ..
