Economy is the foundation Of
human prosperity
The spendthrift IN always in

Productivity on thr part Of any
person Is an objectionable sin.
The fewer the habits the better
the man.
II is the divine virtue 10 be
satisfied with very few things.
Contentment il the antidote for
the cure of all the social diseases.
We must live an independent
life and never live on others like
q parasitic plant
Every person, whether literary
or manuel, must have a profession.
and live a clean, manly honest life,
an example of purity to be imi
tated by others.
Contentment Is the master key
TO all successes.
Riches earned by personal eff
fort with divine assistance, In var
lous trades. agriculture and the
arts, and rightly administered, are
justly deserving of praise tforl If
a wise man acquires them, they
become a ready means Of benefit

HELPING THE POOR l
What could be better before

For the poor are beloved by our
came upon the earth these who
believed in him and followed Him
were the poor and lowly, showing
the poor were near TO God. When
rich man believes and follows
the manifestation of God 1t is a
proof that his wealth is not an
obstacle and does not prevent him
from attaining the pathway of sal
walton. After he has been tested
and tried it will be seen whether
his possessions are a hindrenee i'm
his religious life. But the poor are
especially beloved of God. Their
lives are full of difficulties. their
trials continual. their hopes are in
God alone. Therefore you must as
slst the poor as much as possible,
even by sacrifice of yourself. No
deed is greater before God than
helping the poor. Spiritual condi-
tions are not dependent upon the
POSSESSION of worldly treasures OF

a few to be millionaires and many

can be no extremes as regards
wealth and sustenance. For the
community needs financier, farm

an army is composed of command

his station must be competent;
each in his function according to

There is a fair way that will
not leave the poor in such need,

Barry Captures Mile

Wilt Runs Fourth
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 4.-Johp Joe
Barry, the Flying Irishman, won
his second major race in as many
nights when he captured the CO.
lumbian Mile in 4:11.6 at the
Knights of Columbus games to-
night.
A crowd of 10000 in Madison
Square Garden watched Barry,
now freshman at Villanova Col
lege, dog the footsteps of Fred
Wilt until less than half lap
from home. Then he opened up
and crossed the finish line about
Is yards ahead of second place
John Twomey of the Illinois A.C.
Penn'S Tom Kirwan was third,
while Wilt pulled up fourth.
Although the mile was some
what Of an upset in view of the
fact that Wilt holds the fastest
clocking of the season, 4:09.3,
the other two features ended &C
cording to expectations.
Phil Thigpen of Seton Hall
took the 1000 by fighting off Ros-
coe Browne of the Grand Street
Boys in the last lap to win in
1:12.4. Nal Whitfield of the Army
Air Force shot out of the pack
in the last lap to win the Casey
600 in Iii.
Barry, who has become COM
pletely accustomed to the board
tracks Of this country after run
ming on dirt all through his ca
reer in Ireland, beat Wilt in the
2-mile at Boston last night.
Wilt tried to run Barry into
the boards by opening up with
only about a half mile to go. But
John Joe hung on, and presently
the two were all alone. Twomey
inched up in the last two laps,
caught Barry and tried to pass
him. That was the Irishman's S
cue, and he hit out for home in
the last half lap like a hare.
Twomey did pass Wilt, who
succeeded in running only him
self into the boards. Kirwan al

Cousy rang in 18 points before
fouling out in the last minute
The output gave him a season
total of 497 points, new all-time
Holy Cross mark.
Columbia, trailing 1928 after
seven minutes had elapsed in the
second half, staged an 1l-point
surge to go ahead for keeps.
John Azary, Columbia's crack
guard, started the ball rolling with
free toss. Norm Skinner added
two field goals and another free
throw. Azary then hit with a
jump shot and Bob Sullivan s
layup capped the drive that gave
the Lions a 1898 edge at the

LOUISVILLE, KY. Mar. A.
Kentucky defeated Tennessee
95-58, here tonight to win its sew
enth straight Southeastern Con-
ference basketball crown.
A record-tieing production of
81 points by Bill Spivey, Ken
tucky's seven-foot sophomore, was
the biggest contribution to the
Wildcats title win, their 18th In
II years of SEC Journeys.
A packed Jefferson County
Armory crowd of 5000 watched
Tennessee make an issue of the
scrap for just half of the way.
1t wasn't long after the second
half opened that the Volunteers
were hopelessly out of contention.
Spivey's 81 points tied a record
for the most points scored in a
tournament game. The record was
|set year ago by Alex Groza, Spi-
lvey's predecessor in the Kentucky
pivot slot. Two free throws in
the last seconds gave Spiyey his
total.

|LoyoIa for Title in
Dizzy 55-54 Game
By Lewis F. Atchison
Star S&o@ Corr..,ond>n&

BALTIMORE, Mar. 4.-Ameri-
can University returned to the
scene of its lone Mason-Dixon
Conference defeat tonight to re-
pay that debt with interest as
Staff Cassell's crew outlasted
Loyola. 55-54, in the champion
ship game of the conference Is
tenth annual tournament.
A standing-room- only crowd OF
nearly 1000 screaming fans saw
the Eagles take their third con-
ference tournament title in q
dizzy game that threatened tc
end in disaster in the last Is
seconds. The Eagles won the title
in 1945 and 1916.
Half-pint Johnny Neer, Ameri-
cas- "double-o" and one of the
heroes of its triumph. had the
ball. dribbling madly down court
and out of the shadow of defeat
when the final whistle blew.
Neer who took Bob Lamon' S
place in the last two minutes,
drew four consecutive fouls within
Is seconds in the last minute. He
missed three. and a chance to
put the game on ice. But he
enabled his mates to hang on to
the ball a little longer.
Dramatic Finish.
The actual finish was more
dramatic. Art Morales charity
shot. Sherwood Webster's field
goal and a foul shot by Neer had
given A. u. a lead of 55-49, SEEM
ingly beyond reach of the dis
mayed greyhounds, with one min
ute to go. But a foul shot by
Vince Gallagher, and field goals
by Herb Meinert and Mike Zedalis
brought Loyola within a point of
the Eagles, 55-54, and they would
have tied it up if Meinert had
made good on a fine shot.
American almost blew the ball
game when Ed Moffatt, took too
long on an out-of- bounds play
and Loyola got the ball out of
bounds. It was passed to Mike
Zedalis and with three seconds to
go he tried to hook a shot from
the side that fell short of the
goal. Roy Isham retrieved the
leather and fired it to Neer who
swiftly moved it out Of the Danger
zone.
Loyola, with Bob Anderson pac-
ing the attack, rolled up a 25-15
lead in the first half but Ishnfan
and Ronnie Garshag led a coun-
ter-attack that reduced the mar
gin to 1928 at the intermission
