Obstacles To City Water
Project Reported Removed

Obstacles to the completion and
early operation of two major City
water department projects, the
Hilton reservoir and the King S
Bluff 20-mile pipeline, were report
ed removed yesterday.
City Manager A. c. Nichols re-
ported yesterday that three high
priority valves, needed to seal con-
duits from the reservoir to waste
deposit, to the old reservoir and to
suction wells from which city
mains lead, have arrived and are
being installed, making operation
of the project possible in the near
future.
For the Kings Bluff line, extend-
ing a score of miles to tap a salt
free water source, an emergency
gasoline pumping engine, on oro.er
for nearly year from the Climax
Engineering company, of Clinic,
Ohio, has been shipped from it's
point of manufacture. Without the
engine, the last item of equipment
needed to operate the pipeline, City
officials had refused to let pump
ing begin.

/ to pay a replacement for, say, a
Joe Di Maggie but a fraction of
the wage his predecessor receiv-
ed, particularly as the replace
ment possibly wouldn't be in the
majors at all were it not for the
war.
We don't know, but we imagine
the scouting payroll, another size
able item, will be reduced this
year as in normal times the scouts
are hunting for nuggets in hay
stacks, and now they can't even
find the haystacks, what with COM
paratively few of the minor
leagues operating.
Whether there is financial saw
ing in the brief Northern training
is problematical, or rather,
question Of which clubs you are
talking about. Some of them I'M
doubtedly came out at least even
through exhibition games, others
lost money on the long Southern
jaunts. In either case, it is most
ly outgo and little income from
the present setup.
On the whole, though, figuring
the saving in salaries, both from
reduction of the number of play
ers and the smaller checks earned
by requirements; tn saving in
transportation costs, and the saw
ing in scouting arrangements point
to a new operational low.
Whether the ticket prices should
be reduced in view OF the inferior
quality of play and reduced ex-
penses is a question. II attendance
were normal the answer would
seem to be yes, but attendance
won't be normal.
At any rate, to the credit of the
club owners, most of whom are ar
dent fans, they would rather pay
the fat salaries and heavy travel
ing expenses and put on their u.s.
ual gala show than make few
extra nickels by forced economy.

Tar Heels Take Early Lead
Over Favored South
Carolina
By BLOYS BRITT

RALEIGH, Feb. 23.-lR-Nortn
Carolina Tar Heels tripped fav-
ored South Carolina, 1926, in the
first semi-final game here tonight
in the annual Southern Conference
basketball tournament. Thus the
Tar Heels advanced into the
finals, and will meet the Duke
Blue Devils in the finals at 8
O. clock tomorrow night.
Expertly controlling rebounds
both extensively and defensively,
the North Carolinians took an
early lead in their battle with
the top-seeded South Carolina
Gamecocks and aside from eEmin-
ating their sister university from
further competition, they avenged
two regular season defeats at the
hands of the Gamecocks.
John Dillon, North Carolina S
hook-shot artist spelled the diff
ference between the two clubs,
although Don Jordon, Tar Heel
forward played a brilliant often
sive and defensive game. Dillon
put the Tar Heels into an early
lead by hooking in four success
sive field goals before the South
Carolinians began to cover MIN.
Leading by 713 at the half, the
Tar Heels managed to stave off
a rally in the last five minutes
of play and at no time were in
trouble.

letters from young man from
Charleston, W. Va. and a Naval

in search of temporary, post-Wed-

Moon.
One of them, apparently the ath-

other obviously a recluse, express

JAYVEES DEFEAT
CHARLTON, 26-l7
By WEDDELL HARRISS

In an action-packed tilt staged
in the nigh school gym last night
the New Hanover junior varsity
recorded its fourteenth circuit win
as they fought their way to
2e.17 victory over the varsity
hustlers from Clarkton High
school,.
The Blue Tornadoes from Clark
ton drew first blood, when Will
ton Lennon sank a long set-snot
for their only first quarter tally.

failed to measure up to par dur
ing the early part of the hard
fought ARRAY, the Jayvees led the
visitors SO at the end Of the
initial stanza.
The juniors settled down during
the second period to swing into
a 1876 halftime lead. leroy Tewies
found the range for the locals to
chalk up six of the Jayvees' eight
second quarter markers.
The visitors got back threaten
ing distance during the third setto,
tallying eight points while holding
the Wi1nnngtonians to a scant
four, narrowing the locals lead
to a slim three bananas, bringing
the third period count to TIA.
The Tornados cut the ice in the
final stanza on push shot by
Lex Powers to raise the standing
to 17-16. However, the Wildkit-
tens pulled away when Billy Harti-
son and Towles racked up a quick
pounds on a push shot and
Grip to put the juniors markers
ahead. After the visitors final
bid for victory with foul shot
by little Jimmy Miller, the Kit
tens put any hopes the Tornados
might have, on the shelf when
Towles, Charlie Smith and Vicente
Brown added six tallies to the
Jayvee score to bring the final
court to 26-17.

JUELICH FORT

four miles south of the enemy's
fallen strongpoint OF Goch.
More than 1000 American war
planes carpet-bombed German tar
gets ahead of the charging First
and Ninth Armies, cutting wide
swath between the Roer and the
Rhine.
In all, more than 5000 Allied
planes flew to the attack, tearing
at German transports already bat
tered by heavy blows OF the day
before.
Reports from the front said the
Americans made good progress to-
ward the Rhine before resistance
began to stiffen. Amount of ad-
vance and exact location OF the
crossings were under a security
blackout.
The Germans declared one Of
the strongest bridgeheads was forg-
ed Just north of the stronghold of
and had been extended into Dueren
itself. They said the assault, de-
signed to seize all Germany west
of the Rhine, also had established
bridgeheads farther north in the
areas of Juelich and Linnich.
Yves GALLAGHER declared that
combined with Allied blows al
ready being delivered from the
west, 1.-The fate of German armies
west of the Rhine will be decided
in the battle now opened
The two armies jumped off to-
gether. 1t Gen. Courtney H. Hold
ges' First Army crossing the Roer
due east of Aachen.
1t. Gen. William H. Simpson S
Ninth Army crossed on the First's
immediate north flank
Initial crossings were made
swiftly and with less opposition
than expected as the Germans
lines buckled under the tremen-
dous barrage, and troops in the
trenches were left groggy.
The Americans found the Roer
which the Germans had tried to
convert into moat-had been fill
ed with underwater spikes, stakes,
sticky floating mines and wire.
In the swift current some boats
capsized, swept others downstream
and made it difficult to launch
infantry bridges.
From the east bank came NOR
tar fire, but there was less artil-
lery fire than had been feared.
With the crossings the Ameri-
cans put the two major barriers
to the Ruhr and Rhineland behind
them - the Siegfried Line and
the Roer, which the Germans had
flooded by blowing upstream dams.
/ Before them, the attackers ex-
pected to encounter an elaborate
system of trenches, antitank
bitches and pillboxes, all construct
ed since the capture of Aachen
last fall.
