Colts Make Up Deficit
In Last 7 Minutes
To Erase Tech
By GEORGE Huber

Coolidge against Wilson Is the line
up for tonight's District public high
school basket ball championship
game at Tech gym. The Colts, who
eliminated Tech, last years cham
pion, in last nights semiflnal will be
seeking their first title, while the
Tigers are after the top spot they
held in 1912. Game time is 8 clock,
and as nearly always in these final
games there's no favorite.
Not only did the Colts get into to-
nights playoff round by beating
Tech, 40-36, last night, but they
earned spot in The Stars Metro
politan championship tournament,
to be held next week.
A desperate drive in the closing
minutes of last nights contest before
a packed crowd gave the Colts their
APPOINT margin. With two minutes
remaining Tech had 36-33 edge,
but Bill Taylor of Coolidge sliced
this with long set shot and Bill
Cannon followed with looper that
sent the Colts ahead a minute before
quitting time. A foul shot by Taylor
and a clinching bucket by Bob Rohr,
the games high scorer, finished the
scoring.
Those points were as large a
margin as existed all night. The
game was tied nine times and the
lead changed hands nine times. Two
baskets by Charles Brotman helped
Tech to 1913 lead in the first pc
riod and, although Coolidge was
ahead for several minutes in the sec
ond quarter, the Maroons retook a
24-23 edge at half time. Scoring
was slim in the third frame, with a
30-3O deadlock carrying into the
final. Two foul shots by Buddy Tim
mons and baskets by Jackie George
and Walt Olson had Tech in front,
36-33, to set the stage for Coolidge's
late game winning drive.

U. S. Liquor Consumption
And Output Hif New Peak
RY ihe Associoted Pfess


NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Americans
are distilling more spirits, drinking
more and paying higher prices for
them than ever beforehand all three
trends probably will continue, the
liquor industry predicted today.
In addition, Americans may look
forward to more Scotch and bonded
domestic whisky in the stores, but
in the future only, due to lifting OF
price controls. Many dealers are
asking So and SO a bottle, by case
lots.
Blends will remain in adequate
supply and there probably will be
more whisky and less distilled spir-
its in them, the industry added.
In 1945, Americans bought 100 ,OOO,-
900 gallons of whisky and lit, 1000, 900
gallons of wine. In the first six
months of this year, consumption
of distilled spirits was estimated up
80 per cent.

Charter Group Calls

Noyes Accuses Foes
OF Extravaganza and
Untrue Statements

Alfred D. Noyes, chairman OF the
Montgomery, County Democratic
Congress, yesterday accused oppo-
sition candidates Of issuing "ex-
travagant, untrue and unproven"
statements.
He also reasserted the Democratic
organization charge that county Re-
publicans are double dealing the
voters on the Charter issue.
AS an example Of what Mr.. Noyes
termed an untrue statement, he
cited a charge Thursday by Mayor
Theodore r. McKeldin Of Baltimore,
Republican gubernatorial candidate,
that Democratic candidates had
spent 100000 in the State pri-
mary election last June.
Statement Cited.
"The sworn statements Of the
campaign treasurer of the Lane
Lacy Hammond ticket" Mr.. Noyes
declared, showed expenditures OF
$4,000.
"Of this amount, $4,000 went for
newspaper and radio advertising,
postage, pamphlets, meetings and so
forth, and 100000 for general CAM
paign expenses and all election-da
expenses in 1900 Maryland pre-
cincts."
Mr.. Noyes said Mayor McKeldin
thus far has not uttered any con-
structive thought or pledge concern
ing the State administration. He
added, this establishes new State
record for political shallowness."
Veteran Group Defended.
! Turning to the Republicans, Mr..
Noyes said they continue favoring a
charter form of government in some
parts of the country, while in other
sections, they circulate their oficial
sample ballots which are marked
neither for nor against proposed
charter board. sp
