BOOK REVIEW
 By Gwendolyn Foote
Gateway
 By Elizabeth Walden

Two girls, Mig Domonkos and Peyton Marshall, with en- tirely different personalities are thrown together under strained circumstances. Mig is an un- sophisticated, vigorous and healthy girl about IT years old. She, with her mother, who was tutor to Peyton, came to live on the Marshall estate. Pey- ton, the beautiful and spoiled daughter of a big business man and a beautiful Hollywood star was temporarily crippled by riding accident. As a result of this she became very bitter and envious toward Mig. Mig's efforts to bring her out of her shell were futile. Peyton learns to walk again and as a bargain to her father goes to the public high school. Both Pey and Mig become interested in the same young man. .-
 Here the pace and suspense of the story increases. The clements of romance, sport, sus- pense with a very good moral are combined to make a very excellent and entertaining tale.
 The following titles are re- commended and may be ob- tained at the Keney Branch Library:
 Temple-My Young Life.
 Vehanin- Marian Anderson. ,
 Whitney-Silver Inkwell.
 Sumner-Quality.
 Douglas-The Robe.
 DuMaurier-Lawrence Vane.

TOP SINGING STARS PICK CHARIOTEERS

If any proof of the popular ity of the Ch harioteers, who be- gin an engagement at the State Theater on Friday, to- gether with Tommy Tucker and his band, was needed, one has but to look at a list of the great singing stars who have broadcast and made records with them.
 Bing Crosby chose them for his radio program and the .Charioteers are now in their
 fourth season on his series Frank Sinatra has recorded with the group and has them in mind for a future series of spirituals. Mildred Bailey is another sing great who has waxed discs with his quartet. To that list add Rudy Vallee and Frank Parker who have shared airtime with the Char ioteers.
 The four lads - William Williams, first tenor - Ed ward Jackson, second tenor - Ara Williams baritone - Howard Daniel, bass and Jimmy Sherman, pianist, met while students at Wilberforce College in Ohio. They sang for amusement and didn't take their efforts too seriously un- til they won the All-Ohio State Quartet Contest spon- sored by the American Legion. From there they went on to a feature spont on WLW, Cincinnati. Their big break came with the recording of "So Long" which projected them to the top ranks of pop ular vocal quartets.
 The group divide their con- siderable financial renumera- tion in five equal parts and haven wasted a harsh word or, squabb1ed about business matters during the eight years of their successful collabora- tion

NEW YORK, Mar. 13-The

Selection Committee left it up to
City College of New York and Syra-
cuse today to decide which team
shall represent district 2 in the
Eastern regionals starting in Madi-

Both schools agreed to a playoff
at the Troy IN. " Armory to-
morrow night, City's Athletic Fac
ulty Committee reaching a decision
only after three hour session be-
hind closed doors.
Neither Nat Holman, City coach,
nor Prof. Anthony Orlando, faculty
manager of athletics, would reveal
the subject of the faculty meeting,
but it was known by students and
players alike that the possibility of
refusing to compete was being con-
sidered.
Earlier this year the same COM
mittee had resolved never to sched-
ule an athletic contest with team
coached by Everett Shelton" Shell
tons Wyoming team is the district
7 representative in the tourney, and
it is conceivable that the Western
quintet may meet the Beavers in
the East-West playoffs for the
N. c. A. A. championship.
The committees resolution on
Shelton followed contest between
Wyoming and c. C. N. Y. at the
Garden last December. Remarks
allegedly made by Shelton aroused
the ire of Holman and almost pre-
cipitated fisticuffs. City won the

0hiz-Dade Rematch
Sought as Writers :
bemoan Decision
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Mar. ia re-
match of the Manuel z-Harold
Dade bantamweight title fight was
sought today as ring writers gen.
orally bemoaned the decision which
returned the crown to Ortiz.
Promoter Cal Eaton said Gus
Wilson, manager of Dade, was eager
for another bout and he hoped to
put on the fight within so or 80 days.
But Tommy Farmer, Ortizs man
ager, had other ideas. Peeved at
press response to the Tuesday
scorcher, Farmer said we're going
to make 'em cool their heels. We
have good offers from Honolulu that
come first"
Ortiz, meanwhile, told interview
ers he would retire after two more
fights-an old familiar refrain. The
30-year-old El Centre (Calif) far
mer has said as much several times
during his previous 41a-year reign
as 118-pound titleholder.
Farmer had an answer for that
one, too: ANY one who can go Is
rounds the way Nanny did is
long way from through: he'll fight
another year, anyway"
However, most observers agreed
that the slowed-up Ortiz was lucky
to recapture the championship.
They thought that Dade, who upset
Ortiz only two months before for
the title, earned a draw at worst
and hardly deserved being stripped
of the crown.

Top Star in 1916
BY the A.soeiufed Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 13.-Bullet Bill
Dudley, the Pittsburgh Steelers'
halfback who decided to retire after
convincing himself that his ITO
pound frame was too small for major
league competition, today was named
the National Football Leagues most
valuable player for 1916.
The five-foot-ten Dudley, who
generally was accepted as, the pro
games best defensive back, thus
becomes the seventh recipient Of the
Joe F. Carr Memorial Trophy, won
in 1945 by Bob Waterf1eld of the
Cleveland (now Los Angeles) Rams.
The Selection Committee, COM
prising 18 sports writers in home
cities Of NFL clubs, voted Dudley
AZ points on eight first-place and
two second-place ballots Water
field was runnerup with % points.
Winning the Carr trophy climaxes
a brief but brilliant career in pro
football for the former Virginia star
who recently substantiated his an
nounced retirement by signing as
backfield coach at his alma mater.
After leading the Nations COL
legiate scorers as 1s-year -old half
back at Virginia in l941, Dudley was
selected as the Steelers' first choice
in the 1912 draft. The Steelers, up
to then a chronic mediocre club,
captured of their II games that
year and came within two games Of
winning the Eastern championship.
AS a rookie, Dudley won the major
league ground-gaining champion
ship in his second full season Of
competition last fall, taking the
title with 604 yards on 146 carries.
In addition to the ground-gain-
ing title. Dudley led the league in
interceptions and won the punt-re-
turn championship. Toward the
end Of the season most clubs simply
refrained from passing into his de-
fensive territory. He was catching
more passes than the intended re-
ceiverS.
The Steeler ace wound up the
season fifth in scoring with 48 points,
tied for fourth place in punting and
seventh in kickoff returns and was
18th among the passers.
