Layden, in the most drastic dis

commissioner in 1911, fined Mar
shall and Brizzolala $500 apiece
for their alterca alton before $4,000
fans at the National pro champions

The incident grew out of Bril-
zolara's efforts to remove Marsh.
all forcibly from the Bears bench.
Marshall, snuggly wrapped in
big raccoon coat, was suddenly
discovered on the bench in the
closing minutes of the first half.
Marshall insisted he merely had
come there for friendly half-time
intermission barley, but Brizzolara
thought otherwise and with h
help of Jack Collie, Bear trainer,
and police, escorted the Redskin
owner TO a passage beneath the
stands. ..
Laydeh termed the n Of

Thriller
By BILL McILWAIN

New Hanover High Schools S fight
ing Wildcats opened UP their 1914
cage competition by downing fast
53rd Coast Artillery club from
Kure Beach, Ellis in tn high
school gym.
This affray, the second win of
the season for the Cats, was one
Of the most exciting tits to take
place in the Hanover gym in some
while. AL the elements of foot
ball game, a bull fight and a good
basketball game marked the hard
fought contest.
Hyma of the Soldiers racked up
the Initial score of the engagement
as he whipped in a looping hook
shot. Diminutive Doug Pridgen,
the clever set shot artist of the
Wildcats evened the count by drop
ping in Grip shot.
The Artiller. men forged into the
lead when Hollingsworth and WEIGH
registered field goals. Pridgen put
the Cats back in the scoring with
free throw. Rogers, the Kure
high scorer, sank field goal to
give the Military hardwooders an
8-4 margin. Beak TSantes, hus-
ting pivot man for the schoolboys
made good a foul shot to end the
first quarter with the Soldiers hold
ing a IS advantage.
TSantes took charge of the Han
overian's scoring and racked up
five points in the second heat while
the Artillery hoopsters were only
able to tally two points on foul
shots by WEIGH. TIE half ended in
a 1910 deadlock
Brilliant defensive play that at
times bordercd on actual combat
checked the scoring attempts of
both CUNTS in the third period as
only three points were registered.
TSantes drove home a fine pivot
shot for the Wildcats two points.
while Trask tailed on a charity
throw. At the end of the third
quarter the score rested at 12-11
with the high schoolers on the big
end.
In the final period the fireworks
of the evening really opened up.
Both teams put on a wild, rough
and clever splurge endeavoring to
gain a victory. The scrappy Kure
Beach outfit went into the lead as
Rogers dropped in a shot. Lanky
Red Mayhan entered the game for
the Wildcats and gave them 14-13
advantage with a beautiful long
shot. The score became knotted
again at 1915 when Trask of the
Artillerymen made field goal and
Bill Auld of the Cats made good
a free throw
The-"Hanoverians gained a two
point margin when Al Haircut"
Collie, who played bang-up ball
game throughout the entire tiff,
sank a circus shot while at top
speed. Rogers of h Beachers
threatened the Wildcat lead as he
tossed in foul shot and brought
the game to 17-16 standing in
favor of the Cats.
Here Battling Bill Aud insur-
ed the locals of victory by looping
in a beautiful shot from near the
half court line. The nights scoring
ended when Mickey Kelly, Hanover
guard, whipped in Grip shot to
give the high schoolers a Ellis tri-
umph.

TODAY, TOMORROW
Continued from Page One)

We had no alliance before this
war. The grand alliance which is
now fighting this war did not exist
before this war. If MIR. Hard's ba-
sic truth is true OF basic, it should
have followed that out not having
alliances, our stunning them as
poison" should have, as he says,
helped in uniting the world" But
what actually happened was exact
ly the opposite: Owing to the fact
that Britain, Russia, China and
America were isolated from one
another and not allied to resist
them, Germany, Italy and Japan
formed an alliance for aggression
which very nearly conquered most
of the world. The lack of an al
lance against aggression invited
the formation of an aggressive al
lance.
We may go further and say that
we must maintain the grand ALI
ance of the United Nations until
the time comes when present enc
mics can safely be admitted as
equal members in universal So
ciety. If we do not do this, then
what we shall get is not Mr..
Hards utopia Of world without
alliances, but two or more danger
ously gonjstic coalitions or al
liances. Mr.. Hard may feel he can
still indulge himself in the Illusion
that the United States needs no al
lies. But he must net imagine that
any other country could or would
risk it's future on such an illslon.
If we rejected the agreement
made at Moscow and approved by
the Connally resolution - call it
what you will, concert, the nu-
clear alliance of q general inter-
national organiza ton what will
happen? What is inexorably bound
to happen? The British, the Rus
slams, the Chinese, ard the other
United Nations, will have to shop
around to find substitute for the
system OF security we have rem
dered unavoidable. If they cannot
have the grand alliance which now
exists, how long would it be before
they began to consider tempting Of
fers from Germany or Japan or
from both? Can any one doubt
that if we dissolve the alliance of
the United Nations. We shall not
get Mr.. Hard's world union" but
new combinations OF threatened
and threatening groups of states?
We must have look also at Mr..
Hard's affirmative suggestion that
the correct model of world or
ganization is the Pan-American
Union, in which, all states are
equal ard none is committed to
anything. I share his admiration
for the Pan-Amer1can Union. But
I must say that he IS ignoring the
facts of life when he supposes that
the world of great powers can be
organized on this model. He is
begging the question which we
have to answer.
For the republics of the Western
Hemisphere are within the reach
of only two great military pow
ers-the United States and Great
Britain, which together insulate
this hemisphere from the military
powers of the old world. The
plants in a dollhouse are beautiful
but they do not flourish in the
open weather. Let Mr.. Hard con-
slider what would be the condition
of South America if Germany and
Japan had won this war. Then
there would hav Teen gone the
insulation which has given this
hemisphere its unique history. U.s.
