Conference Title
Outcome Nearing

CHICAGO, Feb. 10 - (P) -
The fightin' Illini of the Univer-
sity Of Illinois continued TO
STROUD the probable outcome Of
the western conference race
today.
The Illini, only conference
team to defeat the preseason
favorites from the University Of
Iowa, romped along the confer
ence title trail last night with a
7l-48 victory over Indiana.
Now they are awaiting the
invasion of Ohio State, title
defenders, and conference lead
ers, Friday in a game that prob
ably will be the key to the final
outcome of the title struggle.
The Buckeyes we're idle last
night while both Illinois and
Iowa were winning in the only
conference games scheduled.
Iowa went back into tie for
the western conference lead by
defeating Purdue, AZ to 43, at
Lafayette. Illinois ran away in
the last half for its easy victory
over Indiana.
Iowa had some difficulty de-
feating Purdue for the second
time this season. The Boiler
makers outscored the Hawkeyes
in field goals, 19 TO 10, but made
only five Of ID free throws while
Iowa was scoring IL points on

It is the hope of Brett, a gradu-
ate Of Fisk university, to be the
principal of the Negro school of the
small town, rather than go to the
University of Chicago on scholar
ship to work on a doctorate. He
wants to aid his people and improve
their situation.
Brett has been fighting for a bet
ter world. He has taken tea on a
basis of equality with good English
families and has drunk Chianti on
convivial terms with Italian peas
ants. His faith in better world is
shattered, though, when the sena-
tor falsely accuses him of stealing
a watch. He is arrested by brutal
sheriff's deputation, manhandled
and, when cleared of the charge, or
dered out of town. He leaves the
train before it pulls out of the sta
tion and returns to his home from
where he is determined to fight for
the rights of his people as long as
he can.
The part Of Brett Charles is
played by Gordon Heath who plays
difficult role with fine restraint.
A native New Yorker, he has most
recently been a staff announcer on
WMCA and has served in a similar
capacity on WLIB and WNYC. He
has worked in little theatres since
1882 including the Richard B. Har-
rison players, Harlem Independent
theatre, Tose McClendon players,
the American Negro theatre and
the Hampton Institute theatre. At
the latter, he appeared in "Pygmal-
lion, "Eve of st. Mark" and "Ham-
let"

fascism that grows here.
deep Are The Roots" is con-
cerned with the problem created by
the return of Negro veterans to
their communities in the land of
magnolias, honeysuckle, and lynch
ing bees. 1t says, without hedging,
that the problem is created by the
white people who persist in treat
ing the Negro as if they were his in
dulgent overseers.
Brett Charles, handsome and
intelligent young Negro, lieuten-
ant of infantry and a much-decor-
ated war-hero, returns from Europe
to his mother, trusted old family
servant in the home of proud and
unreconstructed relic of the Con-
federacy, Sen. Ellsworth Langdon.
Brett, as lad, has grown up in
the Langdon household. The sena-
tors youngest daughter, Genevra,
had been his childhood playmate.
Now, after four years in the army,
he returns to find that it is crime
for Negro to be seen walking with
white woman.
