Numerous penalties were called

secutive victory over the Blades

In the afternoon round Shorey
had wasted a shot in a trap,
smoothed his footprints, and
then played another shot from
the same trap several feet from

His playing partner reported
the incident to the committee
after Shorey had gone home,
and as it technically was against
the rules at the time, Shorey's
card was not accepted. The late
Henry Litchfleld West was so
incensed over what he claimed
was an injustice to Shorey that
he harped on the incident for

both coaches.
Dunbar took the ball out Of
bounds and ran the clock out
easily for the victory, which re-
suited in a three-way tie for
second place in the West Division
among Roosevelt, Coolidge and
Dunbar.
+ Police Officer's Version.
Police Corpl. Clarence s.
Muse, who attended the game
with two other policemen. said:
"I've seen a lot of games just
like it. The players start argu-
ing. The spectators Jump up and
crowd around like they do at an
accident. If the spectators hadn't
gotten on the playing floor, the
officials could have handled it
alone. We just got the spectators
back to their seats"
For the sake Of pairings in the
league playoffs coming up a
week from Monday, the coaches
of the three second place teams
drew numbers after the game.
Dunbar was awarded second
place. Roosevelt third and Cool
idge fourth.
In the first game of the double
header at Tech, Wilson blew an
11-point lead at the end of the
first quarter to lose, 56-49, to
Cardozo. Cardozo finished with
a 60 record for first place while
Wilson, which won the old Divi-
sion I title the last two years,
was eliminated from the playoffs
with its "a record.
Luce High Scorer.
Wilson's Lew Luce scored 81
points-high for the league this
year but still 10 shy Of the record
but he couldn't get any help
after the first quarter in which
the Tigers scored 20.
Wilson's shooting took a ter
rible dip in the second half when
1t scored only II points. 13 of
them by Luce. In fact Luce
scored % of the Tigers 20 points
in the last three quarters.
The 20-9 lead held by Wilson
after the first quarter was at
tributable in large part to the
rebounding of Gus Muir. But
thereafter Delano Kittrell. Char
lie White and Alfred Dulch
gradually took command of the
boards for Cardozo.
O'Donnell Hooks hit on all
five of his floor shots in the
middle periods and Dulch col
lected 10 of his IA points in the
last quarter to wipe out Wilson's
advantage. Hooks put Cardozo
into the lead permanently with
two push shots midway in the
third quarter that broke 1886
tie.
Dunbar Goes in Front.
In the second game, Dunbar
rallied from a 1912 deficit at
the end of the first quarter to a
45-35 advantage going into the
final on the strength Of the
shooting Of its two little men,
Henry Wedlock and Willie Jones,
and the rebounding Of its big
boys, Elliott Marley, Johnny
Jones and Charles Jackson.
Then Dick Preziotti snapped
Roosevelt from its lethargy with
two goals and pair Of foul shots
that helped close the gap to
45-43. There was no more than
four points difference from then
on, although Roosevelt never
caught up.

Soviet espionage and SUBJ

MVD agents operated without
