Sports Writer'S

strike the sports writer's in the

Occasionally they serve a
small bottle OF spirits which is
OF the same quality that caused
the old Negro plantation worker
TO tell his boss. after being given
a bottle OF whisky, that it was
perfect.
"TTS perfect" he said. DE

me, and II IL was any worse I
couldn't have drunk It."
That's old. I know, but It's a
perfect illustration of the sort
Of 1884 spiked Doctor Pepper
that the University st. Bernards
serve the press between halves.
A sports writer has 10 keep in
perfect physical condition. Press
boxes are always built just two
steps this side of the strato-
sphere. That's why games are al
ways played in the afternoon:
the press has TO use the morning
climbing TO their seats among
the angels.

Mr.. Danforth cover the Georgia

Criminals in State

Says Very Few Former
EnrolIees Go TO Prison
By ]. A. OTEARY.

Praising the war training pro-
grams of N. Y. A. and c. c. c., Rep
resentative johnson. Democrat, of
Oklahoma denied today before the
Senate Education and Labor Com
mittee that they breed criminals,
taking issue with earlier testimony
bv Gov. Leon G. Phillips OF his
State
Referring TO testimony several
DAYS ago that "a former c. C. c. en-
rollees had been sent to penal insti-
tutions in Oklahoma, Mr.. johnson
declared more than 80 900 men and
boys had passed through the c. G.
c. camps OF the State since their
establishment. That would make
the number said to have been found
in prison less than one-tenth of /
per cent, he declared.
Economy Is Favored.
Mr.. johnson said he agreed with
the Governor that Congress has too
long delayed" cutting n-defense
spending TO the bone, but he insisted
that both ". Y A. and c. C. C. are
doing an essential war task In train
ing men for war industries. He said
he understood that after July there
will be no c. C. c. camps except at
Army posts or protecting forests.
Chairman Thomas announced the
end of the hearings at noon, unless
Senator Mcclellan, author of the
pending bill to curtail N. Y. A. and
c. c C., decides to call additional
witnesses.
McEntee Assails Charge.
James j. McEntee, director OF the
Civilian Conservation Corps, said
yesterday that statement Wednes-
day by Gov. Phillips that a great
ma iority of the firSt-term prisoners
in the Oklahoma Granite Reforma-
tory were former c. C. C. enrollees
was "a vicious libel" and a bastard
ly insult TO the young people of
Oklahoma"
Mr.. McEntee issued a formal state
ment in reply to the testimony Gov.
Phillips gave the committee.
Figures of the Bureau of Prisons
and statements of juvenile court
judges all over this country show
that, during the years of the opera
ton of the corps, there has been a
tremendous decrease in juvenile de-
linquency," Mr.. McEntee said.

MELODRAMA OF THE WEEK:
1t was a sad day for that rather
well-known st. Paul lassie when
Tom [ we shall call him that
breezed into town. Tom was just
what our lassie felt she had been
looking for all of her life, smooth
talking, well-dressed, handsome
Romeo. He came to town a num-
Der of years ago with beautiful
clothes and a mellow car and was
accepted by the best people around
here. The way he got in so easily
(even securing a nice job) with the
elite about town was that he
brought so many fine references
from many well-known out-of-town
folks.
1t was love at first sight when
Tom met our St. Paul heroine.
They Immediately became the best
of friends, went everywhere to-
gether and gradually began to
make plans to marry. Our
lassie remembers too well, the
day she heard that very
snoopy woman about town, who
carries nothing but gossip, talking
with her parents. To get down to
brass tacks, the town gossip had
with her clippings of old out-of-
town newspapers proving that our
handsome Romeo had a long prison
record and was still wanted at this
time for investigation on a larceny
charge in another town. The pro-
blem is this-shall our heroine
marry the Romeo knowing this?
Shall she turn him in to the police
(Which would be very hard for her
to do since she loves him.? What
would you do?
Well, friends, I'll be hurrying
along while you are bordering on
the above question.

Hello Everybody :

Hello Everybody:
Since April has ushered in such
balmy, spring days, our old friend
Cupid has begun his annual tour
of the Twin Cities, with a brand
new set of arrows. During the win
ter months he had to lay aside his
deadly weapons but now that the
season for a young mans fancy to
turn to thoughts of love has ar
rived, he feels full of pep and en-
enlargement. Next week we'll try
to give you the names of some of
his recent victims.
On Friday, April 10th, the AL
pha Phi Alpha Fraternity held its
Annual Spring Prom in the Golf
man Memorial Ballroom, the beau
tiful new ballroom on the Univer-
sity of Minnesota campus. The Tilt
ing rhythms of Walter Lear and
his orchestra, plus the beautifully
dressed women and men, added
much towards the success of the
event, which was the thirtieth an
niversary of Mu Chapter of Alpha
Phi Alpha Frat. . . Romance was
really in the air at the dance,
especially so when ORRINGTON
C. HALL, Jr. of St. Paul let his
friends in on the secret that he and
BARBARA COLEMAN of St. Paul
are planning an aisle waltz in the
very near future. d. Speaking of
devotees at the dance, the THOM-
AS MONSON-ARETAS BLANEY
twosome and the ROBERT GARD
NER PAULINE ALEXANDER
twosome were very much in evil
dence. That was quite a novel
idea wasn't it when the orchestra
played the Anniversary Waltz"
and as the various years were an
nounced, the Alpha brothers and
their wives or sweethearts would
get on the floor and dance when the
year they joined the fraternity was
called. Noticed the Messrs. &
Mesdames- JOHN LAWRENCE,
