It was in the second half that
the ''break-away'' came. Knoxville
had a great final punch and Nor

brilliance kept Purple hopes aglow,
however, even with Knoxville

Jordan and Preston were simply

his reserves a chance to harden

Nicks though his team, as a

that Knoxville had improved even

NOT DISAPPOINTED II
AtlantanS turned out 20 see a

would take such a club to paste a
1929 defeat on Morris Brown
even at home The folk weren't dis
appointed. Coach Wallace o.
Hawkins, the little warrior from
East Tennessee, brought a club
that was tournament tough" It
was virtually the same combina-

quarterfinals of that bristling
STAG tournament at TIlskegee, led
Florida by 10 points in the last
four minutes, and was nosed out
44-43 in one Of the most stirring
finishes STAG people ever witness

SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE, July
e.-The partial transfer of plants
among the badly wrecked Ruhr fac
tories to Northern italy is believed
to be the first result Of conversations
now being held in Berlin between
italian Minister for Economics Raj
faelo Riccardi and his Nazi col
league, DR.. Walther Funk.
The Germans, according to foreign
observers. have now renounced the
reconstruction of their pounded fac
tories in the Ruhr area and are will

production by sending their stiIl
usable machinery to less danger
ous region in Italy. where bombings
by the Royal Air Force are only oc-
casional.
An Italian statement yesterday by
Riccardi, also discussing the transfer,
Of italian industries to Germany,
Was7received with skepticism in some
foreign circles which point out for
the benefit Of sensitive German pub
lie opinion that any agreement
reached must appear bilateral.
Riccardi's invitation to Berlin,
according to observers, comes as a
sequel to Reichsmarshal Hermann
Goering's trip to Rome early in Feb
ruary. The Nazi marshal then tried
his best to convince Italian leaders
they must send workers to partici-
pate in the Reich war effort. His
endeavors were reported to have met
with remarkably little success OF
100000 extra workers expected as a
result of the trip only small num-
ber, it is believed, were won by
Marshal Goering's smile. Many
Italian workers in Germany-at one
time they were supposed to be as
numerous as ,0O0-have since
asked permission to return home
and now appear to share the
Frenchman's antipathy for working
in Germany.
