Central Five, Outsider
AT Start, Now Looms
As Title Choice
By George Huber

Central Highs Vikings, who started
the season as outsiders, may find
themselves slight favorites to take
the District public school cham
pionship when the title series is
played next week. The Vikings will
be involved in this playof round,
along with Wilson, Tech and Cool
idge, but just who will play who in
the first-round games on Thursday
and Friday will not be decided untfl
after tonight's double header at
Tech gym, which winds up the
round-robin series.
Central and Coolidge assured
themselves of berths in the title
round last night. the Vikings getting
in by trimming Western, 1921, while
Coolidge edged Tech, last years
champion, 1892, in a really hot
game. Wilson has one game to 90,
meeting Roosevelt in tonight's OPEN
ing game at 1880 at Tech gym, fol-
lowed by Eastern against Anacostia
to close out the schedule. If the
Tigers win, as expected, they will
have undisputed possession of first
place, with the others deadlocked
for second, necessitating a coin toss
to decide opponents for next weeks
first-round playoff games.
Star Tournament Next.
Next weeks District title series
will be followed with another big
event, The Stars 14th annual Met
ropolitan Interscholastic Invitation
tournament, to be played at Univer-
sity of Maryland's Ritchie Coliseum.
The two top District teams auto
matically are in this championship
event, along with six other leading
schoolboy quints from this area.
If Central is favored next week 1t
will be on comparative scoring
basis. The Vikings have defeated
two of the teams in the title play
offs by fair margins. They topped
Tech by eight points and Coolidge
by five, their only setback being a
two-point loss to Wilson. Other pre-
vious games among teams in these
playoffs were close. Here are the
results of regular season play among
the title aspirantS:
Wilson, 81; Central, 80.
Gent Gsntrai' Il 21; 1,irec Tech y.
Central, 81; Coolidge, 30.
o Coolidge, SO; Tech, 81.
Keep Crowd in Uproar,
Last nights Coolidge Tech game
had the capacity crowd in an up
roar all the way. Coolidge's Bill
Cannon broke TT deadlock mid
way through the first period with a
corner set shot and thereafter the
Colts remained ahead, but never by
a safe margin. The Colt edge at
halftime was 24-19 and the only
thing keeping Tech in the game up
to that point was the performance
Of Walt tSwede) Olson, who &C
counted for Is of the Maroon's 10
points in the first 16 minutes.
Scoring was at a minimum dur
ing the close third quarter. but
Coolidge still managed to carry
1924 edge into the final frame.
Coolidge was limited to three foul
shots in the last quarter as Tech
pulled close on goals by Jackie
George. Olson and Buddy Timmons.
Timmons' goal came only 10 Sec
onds ahead of the final bell, but it
had been preceded by a foul shot
by the Colts Bill Cannon, which
proved to be Coolidge's victory

La Guardia Charges
UNRRA Food Plan
Is Kicked Around
BY the Associated Press

UNRRA Director General La
Guardia declared last night that his
international relief organization sis
being kicked around"
II don't mind being kicked around
personally" he said in a statement
I'm fact, I am used to it."
But I'll be damned if I am going
to stand for the kicking around of
millions of hungry, starving, dying
people"
Mr.. La Guardia, who succeeded
Herbert H. Lehman as UNRRA chief
last Monday, did not identify those
at whom his complaint was aimed.
He stressed that he had received
splendid cooperation from Presi-
dent Truman and every depart
ment of our Government"
There is enough food in the world,
he said, to permit UNRRA to feed
hungry people in starving nations
"a minimum subsistence ration to be
able to do some work" Yet, he as
serted, UNRRA shipped only BAT 900
tons of wheat last month whereas
I'VE could ship 100000 tons of wheat
q month"
The fiery former mayor of New
York said Il want to start by criticiz-
ing my own country, and shall not
spare other countries unless I get
more cooperation.
He said he had been reliably in
formed" there are 100,O0O,000 bushels
of wheat on American farms.
That wheat must be forthcom-
ing" he stated. 1T must be on the
ships during the month of April and
If we fail, it will be to the everlasting
shame>of our country and contrary
to our American tradition of kindli-
ness and understanding"
