In Starting Lineup
BY the Asseeioted Press

MOBILE, Ala, Jan. 6.-Lured
by cash and chances at pro con-
tracts, some of the top college
football stars of 1850 are playing
here today in the second annual
Senior Bowl game.
With clear. mild weather in
prospect. the battle between
Steve Owens South team and Bo
McMillin's North squad shapes up
as slam-bang offensive duel.
The North team is favored by
six points, largely on the strength
of such backfield talent as Kyle
Rote of Southern Methodist. Leon
Heath and Claude Arnold of
Oklahoma, Fran Nagle of Ne
braska and Eddie Talboom Of
Wyoming. The last three named
all are passing experts.
South Has Star Back.
But the South has a sure-fire
passing combination in Eddie
Salem of Alabama and Vander-
bits crack receiver, Bucky Curtis.
In addition, the South is COM
ing up with some powerful run
ming backs in Mississippi's John
Dottley. LSU's Ken Konz and
~Georgia's Billy Nixon.
/ Fifty-four players on the two
squads will share in the gate re-
ceipts. If 10000 turn out. the pay
off would be $500 each for the
winners and $4o0 for the losers.
A turnout of about $4,000 is ex-
pected.
On the two teams are several
players from smaller schools
such as Mississippi Southern's s
little Bubber Phillips on the
South squad-who might steal
the show. Phillips is an elusive
broken field runner. as is Max
Clark. Houston scatback, on the
North squad.
Bob Gain, Kentucky's 230-
pound All-America tackle, is the
South's big hope to stop Rote and
Heath. Gain and Heath already
have met in the Sugar Bowl.
Rote and Gain Captains.
The North team is captained
by Rote, with Heath as CO.
captain. Gain will captain the
South team, with Curtis as CO.
captain.
Owen and McMillin have
taught their squads the same type
play they used with their own
New York Giants and Detroit
Lions during the past season.
Owen has used both the T and A
formations. while McMillin has
been sticking to the T.

Raiders were not impressive and
will have to improve off theil
showing against a team that has
failed to win in four tries. In
fact, the outcome was in doubt
until the final minutes.
Roosevelt came to life in the
third quarter of the second game
to down Bell, 40-36.
Ryan Stars for Anacostia.
Anacostia put up a game battle
and if Barry Ryan. who scored %
points, had received more help
from his teammates, the Indians
might have pulled an upset. They
led, 41-40, at the end of the third
quarter.
Labeled the leagues dark horse,
Western had scored impressive
early-season wins while dropping
a close one to strong Washington
and Lee of Arlington. The Raid
ers were expected to have little
trouble with the lowly-rated In
dians. but Anacostia fought all
the way, tying the score five times
in the first half and once in the
second.
Lou Snouffer. Westerns gun
ner, hit hot streak soon after
the fourth quarter started and the
Raiders overcame the Indians
margin to pull away. Snouffer
scored II points to lead Western
and got some help from Jay How
ard who made IL.
Do Well Under Pressure.
However, the Raiders did prove
they could play we'll under pres
sure. They looked best in the
final period when they began to
gain the advantage. AnacoStia
had some difficulty with the Raid
ers sliding man-for-man defense
and if Ryan had not been so dead
ly with his field goal shooting che
made ID Western would have had
little trouble.
These opening games are al
ways the worst" commented Cliff
Moore. the Raiders veteran coach.
There's always a lot of sloppy
ball handling and wild shooting. "
After the fast opener, the
Roosevelt-Bell game looked like
slow-motion basketball. Bell led
6-3 at the end of the first quarter
and 1910 at the half, but the
action picked up in the last Pc
riods and Roosevelt rallied behind
George Burch and Bill Wright to
come out on top.
Bell Ace Fouls Out.
Bell was handicapped by losing
big Don Fridell on personal fouls
early in the third period. The
well-built redhead had kept his
team in the game with his shoot
ing and work under the boards.
Roosevelt shot and shot before
making field goal in the first
half. Their first basket from the
floor didn't come until As seconds
before the second quarter ended
when Bill Smith finally connected
on a set shot from the side.

Professor Finlay and his splen-
did all Virgin Islands Band fur
nished the lively music. He played
the spirited Virgin Islands March
composed by our own Mr.. Alton
A. Adams.
I have tried to give you a COM
plete report of the activities of the
Organic Act Committee from July
18th, the day on which we left
here for the United States to the
day on which the one and only
public demonstration was held on
Sunday, August 18th.
Before closing let me state very
emphatically that at no time dur
ing my stay on the mainland have
I said or done anything to make
anyone feel that l am in favor of
the removal of the present Cover
nor, Morris F. de Castro. If I had
any dissatisfaction to express I
would do so right here at home,
when the governor would have a
chance to defend himself. The
only time that I said anything con
corning the governor and his adj
ministration was in connection
with the economics of the islands
and his insistence that the islands
can be made self-supporting In
sofar as my activities as reported
in trying to get him out to have a
governor favorably disposed to
legalized gambling, there isn't the
slightest truth in it. I am amazed
to read some of the stuff / have
been reading in the Daily News
If I was fighting the governor L
would say so. He is only human

RADIO ADDRESS
by the
Hon. Omur Brown
St. Thomas Municipal Council
Continued from yesterday

l am challenging you MI. Ariel
Melchoir to print in your paper
the name or names of the persons
who told you those things. / am
asking you to tell your read public
where these demonstrations were
held. Who took part in them. At
what time were they held. Can
you, Mr.. Editor publish for the
benefit of your readers and my
constituents the name or names OF
the gamblers with whom l spoke
and where and when.
Now, l am going to make a bold
statement straight from the Shout
ders. l again dare you to prove
OH charges or forever be con-
sidered as untrustworthy insofar
as printing the truth is concerned.
/ would like to report to you
nv friends that the Organic Act
Committee had a very successful
conference with Chairman Muir
dock and three members of his
House Committee on lnsular Al
fairs. We were well received by
Mr.. Murdoch but Congressman
Crawford who is supposed to be
our friend turned out to be a sour
grape. He charged our people with
being responsible for the losses
sustained over the years by the
Virgin Islands Company which
is now known as the Virgin Is
lands Corporation. He said we
could tell you the people that he
is thinking of recommending dis
continuance of Vicorp. He too
thinks our people are lazy. The
next time anyone tells you that
Congressman Crawford is our
friend, laugh in his face. Congress
man Murdoch is a gentleman and
he promised to give us an oppor-
tunity to be heard before action
is finally taken on the Organic
Act. We were also informed by
Mr.. Murdoch that Governor de
Castro and the Interior Depart
ment have insisted that hearings
be held in the Virgin Islands some
time in October. The Chairman Of
the subcommittee is Congress
man Redden of North Carolina
who is retiring from the Congress
soon. He will head uD the commit
tee when the hearings are held
here.
The committee called on Con-
gresham Dawson of Illinois who
is very Influential in the House
Insular Affairs Committee and in
democratic circles and he prom
ised us his unstinting support.
An appointment was a e
with Senator Herbert Lehman
another Influential figure and he
promised us whatever support he
can give.
Again Mr.. Bough and Mr.. Tot
ten were very helpful in coaching

panied us to Washington so did
Messrs. Farrelly and Cyril King
who works in Senator Humphreys
office.
There was no political truce or
framing up on anyone. It was sim
ply a case of a group of Virgin Is
landers working together for once
as we always should. The other
members of the committee had to
return at the expiration of the ff-
teen days for which we were
authorized to travel. It was pro-
posed by the conference commit
tee that a public meeting be- held
SO that the members of the COM
mittee could have an opportunity
to explain the purpose of our visit
to our people on the mainland.
This could not be done in time to
permit the returning members an
opportunity to be heard and so it
was held on Sunday, August 26,
two Sundays ago.
l wish to emphasize that this
was the first demonstration in
which | participated on the main
land. You have probably read
about it so / think it is necessary
for me only to say that it was an
experience which l shall always
remember. | saw and met people
from the islands, some of whom
| remember and others whom I
did not know. They want me to
tell you that they are always
thinking of you and wishing for
the day to come when they can
see their relatives and friends.
They r happy, they live well
but they long for home and their
loved ones.
1t was my pleasure to meet our
own native o Benny Benjamin
and I asked him to write a song
for the Virgin Islands which he
promised to do.
| think l should mention here
that Congressman Powell made a
very fine speech in which he
pledged his full support for the
Organic Act and for all measure
affecting and for the benefit of the
people of the Virgin Islands.
Mr.. Ashley Totten presided at
the meeting and did a splendid
job explaining some of the mis-
conceptions prevailing as regards
the relationship between main
land Virgin Islanders and their
brothers and sisters back home.
He stressed the point, that unity is
necessary between the two groups
so that we a gain the political
support of Virgin Islands on the
mainland to obtain the things we
need to improve conditions at
home. He pledged to do every
thing in his power to bring about
better living conditions in the
islands.
