Class F Cubs
Battle Lions
In Overtime
By Bob Keefer

The Fort Cubs became heavy
favorites to win the second half
championship in the East Cleve-
land Class F League by edging
the 'Meinhardt Lions, 1926, in a
double overtime thriller at Shaw
gym last Saturday.
Bill Coughlin, SIT, Ain. Cub
guard, climaxed the bitter struggle
by intercepting a mid-court pass
which the Lions Mike Williamson
intended for Harold Sullivan and
dribbling in for a lay-up shot in
the second overtime period young
Coughlin played a brilliant game
throughout as he took scoring
honors with IL points and turned
in an excellent floor game. The
thrill-packed contest had the spec
tators biting their nails, especi-
ally during the second half which
saw the lead change hands six
times before the breath-taking
finish.
The Cubs started out as though
they were going to romp to an
easy victory as they took an "a
first-quarter lead and widened the
gap to 12-4 midway in the second
stanze. However, the Lions sud-
denly came to life to score ten
straight points and led at the
half, 14-13. The Cubs regained the
lead, 1918, at the end of the
third quarter but the Lions fought
back to knot the count at 1926
at the end of the regulation time.
In the first overtime period, Ref
cree Bill Keefer called a double
foul on the two centers. Bub Bill
Cowan and Lion Don Heidel. The
pressure proved too great for the
boys, however, as they failed to
connect. Both teams missed several
long shots by narrow margins as
the tension mounted. Then, with
only three seconds remaining in
the first overtime, Don Hopeck
fouled Heidel who once again fail
ed in his attempt to sink the
charity toss, which necessitated a |
second overtime/period under "sud-
den death" provisions. 1t is very
likely that these same two teams |
will tangle again at the close of |
the schedule in a two-out-of-three
series to decide the league title and |
it should be a real "donnybrook."
The Mason Panthers won their
second straight tussle in second
half competition by drubbing the
Henderson Sharks, 26-12 while the
Tigers dumped the Sex
on Hawks, 27-18 to complete last
weeks bill.
Arrangements have been made

Cleveland Class F League to meet

states gave Bryan a larger major
ity of the electoral vote than all
the other states gave Mckinley. In
1908, though Taft received 54.5 per
cent of the popular vote, he would
only have had three-vote lead
under the Lodge amendment. If
we take the election of 1914 and
increase Dewey's vote by 10 per
cent in every state, giving him a
majority of 100000 over Roose-
velt, he would still have lost under
the Lodge amendment. A Repub-
licar candidate probably will have
to get about So per cent of the
popular vote or majority of 2
million votes before he can win.
These figures cannot be disputed.
The argument of the proponents is
that the Republicans would go into
the southern states and campaign
vigorously, spending lot of money
for that purpose. Undoubtedly the
amendment would produce much
more lively campaign in the south
and bring out much larger vote
than at present. The percentage
Of eligible voters voting, however,
because of many restrictive laws,
would still be much smaller than
in the north. Every vote in the
south would still weigh twice as
llluch as in the north.
NOR is there the slightest evil
dence that the Republicans
could successfully increase the
of their vote in the
south, because of course the DEM
ocrats would campaign as vigor-
ouSly as the Republicans. 1t is not
easy to change the voting habits
of one-party state. All the young
people join the majority party be-
cause that is the way to success,
business and professional, as we'll
as political. Republicans also have
.c overcome the prejudice against
,hem in the south. The amend
nent therefore MAKES the election
If President with minority of
he popular vote infinitely more
A Republican candidate
would probably have to have
plurality of 2 million, or So per
:ent of the total vote, to win.
OF course, if the Republicans
can secure a large majority of
the popular vote, then they
would win under any system.
But / cannot understand Repub-
licans voting for system which
j unsound in theory and fatal

cess in any close election.

SHAW BASKETBALL
By Bob Keefer

Now that the Lake Erie League
championship is neatly packageC
and tucked away, the Shaw Gag
ers can relax a bit as they face
Heights at Shaw gym tomorrow
night in the final league contest
for both teams.
Of course by relaxing" we
don't mean to imply that the Card.
inals are assuming a complacent
attitude in facing their arch rival
On the contrary. That intense
rivalry still exists as always and
tomorrow's contest will be as hard
fought as though the title were at
stake.
The Tigers will seek to avenge
an earlier loss to the Wisecupmen
on the Heights floor while the
local lads aim to complete their
league schedule with the Lorain
loss as the only blemish on their
record. Heights is the leading Of
fensive team in the Lake Erie
League, their 435 points in nine
games being one point better than
Shaw's. The Cardinals, however,
hold a decided edge in defen-
sive quality, having limited the
league opposition to 326 points
while the Tigers have had 442
points scored on them, the poorest
record in the league.
Warren Haskins, Heights five
center, is the third leading scorer
in the league with 116 points for
a 1919 average. Incidentally, hav-
ing officiated three of Heights
games this season, I can say that
Haskins is unquestionably one of
the finest boys / have had the
pleasure of meeting in scholastic
sports. AS the Heights captain,
he is a gentleman and fine sport
at all times and a credit to his
school - in addition to being an
excellent player.
The invading quintet will also be
by a new sophomore
find, Lenny Roth who has an 11.3
average in six league games. He
will pair with Haskins at the for
wards; John Miller will hold down
the center slot; and Lou Gold
ring and Dick Peterjohn take over
the guard assignments. Coach Roy
will probably make one
change in his usual starting line
up. Mike Vara, who saw very little
service until last week will start
at left forward with Don Sexton
back to left guard to re-
place Tom Meinhardt. Vara looked
good against University School and
Elyria last week and his fine per-
formance has earned him starting
job.

tions keenly appreciate the i'm
portance of Asiatic nations in the
crisis.
At the same time, associates
said Mr.. Acheson will not close
any door to an international
effort to work out a just, perma-
nent solution of the Korean prob
lem in the United Nations, once
the Red aggression has been
ended.
Privately, some of Mr.. Acheson's S
advisers feel that to trade peace
in Korea for Chinese Communist
membership in the U. N. would be
like giving way to international
blackmail.
Two factors make the American
reply to Mr.. Nehru a matter of
extraordinary delicacy and impor-
tance. One is that Mr.. Nehru's
great prestige as a leader of Asian
Nationalists means his attitude
toward American policy and ac-
tion in Asia can vitality affect their
chances for success.
The other factor as seen at the
State Department is a need to
present the American action in
Korea clearly as a fight in support
of the principle of international
security under the United Nations.

Sweden Repudiates
Stockholm Peace Plea
As Red Propaganda
BY the Assoeiaied Press

Sweden has diSclaimed any con-

appeal" which the United States
has branded as a Communist
propaganda trick.
In an address released here by
the Swedish Embassy, Prime Min
lister Tage Erlander expressed
considerable disgust that we here
in Sweden witness the brandish-
ing of the name of our capital in
this way in the international Com
munist propaganda" He added:
"The overwhelming majority of
the Swedish people have no
sympathy to spare for the at
tempts of the Communists to en-
ploit for their particular ends
mankind's love for peace and alb
horrence of war"
The document was drawn up in
Stockholm last March by an or
ganization calling itself the "Parti-

officially as the world Peace
Appeal" and Communist sources

For British Ship Attack
By the Assoeieted Press

TAIPEI, July 1.-THE Chinese
Nationalists confirmed today that
one of their planes attacked the
British steamer Glenearn Satur-
day north of Formosa.
The Foreign Office said it has
requested the United States to
convey Nationalist apologies to
Great Britain. Nationalist China
no longer has diplomatic relations
with Britain.
The Defense Ministry said the
pilot of a Mustang fighter was
under arrest and would be court
martialed for acting against
orders.
The Glenearn's British chief

pleted.
No Plan to Ration Food.
The President already has said
there is no intention of rationing
food but he refused-when making
this announcement at last Thurs
days news conference-to say
what might be done in the indus
trial field.
The leaders, who included House
Speaker Rayburn and Senate Ma
'jority Leader Lucas, also explained
to reporters that the President
had been informed that no
thought would be given to Con-
gress quitting until the Presidents
emergency program had been re-
ceived and acted on.
Supplementing Speaker Ray
burns statement as to this under
standing. Senator Lucas stressed
that once Congress is in position
to quit there will be no differences
between Senate and House leader
ship as to the sort of recess to be
taken.
Senator Lucas said he made
his statement in view of reports
that the leadership of the two
chambers were not of the same
mind as to whether they should
adjourn sine die or embark on a
series of three day recesses.
Briefed on Korean Situation.
In addition to Speaker Ray
burn and Senator Lucas, Vice
President Barkley and House
Leader Mccormack also sat in on
today's session, which was the
Presidents regular conference
with his top men on Capitol Hill.
The conferees got their GUS
tomary brieflng on the Korean
campaign but Speaker Rayburn
remarked that it was just about
what the papers have printed.
Senator Lodge, strong sup
porter Of bipartisan foreign policy
and an ex-Army officer of World
War II. told the Senate it is now
crystal clear that the Soviets
have developed a fool-proof pro-
cedure whereby, unless we in
tervene effectively, they cannot
lose and we cannot win"
"The procedure is simply that,
with no cost in manpower to
themselves. they impell a lner-
cenary native army to aggression
and thus confront the United
States with two alternatives. one
of which is ruinous and the other
Of which. though necessary. is

He said the first alternative
would have been to ignore the
aggression. He approved the ad-

in Korea it would tie up large
numbers of men who would be

Korean crisis.
The terms offered by the Rus

The State Department is re-

of the U. S. response to Mr..
Nehru. 1t is expected to restate
the "rock bottom" American terms
for settlement, but in manner to
leave the way open for Mr.. Nehru
to pursue his effort if he sees any
promise of success.
The minimum United States de-
mand, outlined Friday, is with
drawal of the Communist invad-
ers back of the 38th parallel into
North Korea. There is every in
dication that this country will re-
fuse to compromise on this point,
which is also a U. N. objective.
In addition to the United States
reply to Nehru, the State Depart

A top assistant to Gen. HERSHEY
summarized it:

cause Of war-industry employment
keeps his deferment only so Ions
as he holds his essential job
His war-effort employment, either
in or out of uniform is guaran-
teed.
But the man deferred for ply
sical reasons passes completely
from the Governments control,
even though a great percentage of
them could do much work short of
actual military service. Many dur
Ing World War II voluntarily
sought defense jobs. But many
did not and their services were
completely lost when, particularly
near the end of the war, we were
literally scraping the bottom OF
the manpower barrel"
To lick the problem this time
manpower officials are moving to-
day on three fronts:
l. Gen. Hershey and his staff
are working with the three armed
services on new and uniform
physical standards which will
