Miss Thompson, Prominent Teacher, Dies Suddenly $20,000 Estate Contested by Two Alleged Wives THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. E. Miss T $20,00 ROY GARDNER WILL; COURT WHO IS LA s Thomps ,000 Est DNER LEFT NO COURT TO DECIDE IS LAWFUL WIDOW ROY GARDNER LEFT NO WILL; COURT TO DECIDE WHO IS LAWFUL WIDOW Who is the lawful widow of Roy R. Gardner, southwest cabaret owner who died February 5 last, leaving an estate valued at approximately $20,000? That is a question that the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia is asked to decide. There are two women claiming to be his widow. One is Mrs. Rosa B. Gardner, to whom letters of administration were issued by Chief Justice McCoy holding a probate court on February 14. The other is Mrs. Grace C. Gardner, who has asked the court to revoke these letters of administration and give her the authority to administer the estate. Justice Bailey has cited Mrs. Rosa B. Gardner to appear Friday and show cause why she should not be removed as the administrator. Through Attorney James A. O'Shea, Mrs. Grace C. Gardner claims that she was married to the late Roy R. Gardner in Annapolis, Md., October 7, 1926, and that she lived with him to the day of his death. Mrs. Rosa B. Gardner, through her always, George E. C. Harre and Ernest J. Davis, denies that Mrs. Grace C. Gardner is the lawful widow of the late Roy Gardner. She says that if Mrs. Grace C. Gardner and Roy Gardner went through a marriage ceremony, it was void and that any living together of the pair was improper because she was his wife at that time. First Marriage in 1911 Mrs. Rosa B. Gardner declares that she and Roy Gardner were married November 12, 1911, and that they lived together until February, 1926, when he sent her into the state of New York on account of her ill health for a visit at the home of her sister. She denies that he obtained any divorce from her. She states that she worked and helped her husband to accumulate the property he owned at the time of his death. Mr. Gardner died without leaving a will. His mother, Mrs. Anna Gardner, of Ashland, Ohio, and his widow are his heirs at law.

Johnson, president, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, of Howard University, and Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, the latter agreed to give $25,000 of the $99,000 still needed to meet the conditional offer of the General Educational Board to give $250,000 toward a $500,000 endowment for the medical school of Howard University. The General Educational Board sometime ago made a conditional offer of $250,000 toward the endowment of the School of Medicine of Howard provided an equal amount be given by officers, teachers, alumni and friends of the university, $151,000 of the $250,000 to be raised among friends of the university has been collected and paid into the treasury of the university. It is to facilitate the early collection of the remaining $99,000 that Mr. Rosenwald has made his generous offer. The Medical School of Howard University is the only Class A Medical School in America (with a single exception) specializing in the training of colored men and women for the 12,000,000 colored people of the United States. A new medical school building is now in process of construction and will cost, when completed and adequately equipped, $500,000, $370,000 for the building and $130,000 for equipment. All of this money is in sight except a reaining $50,000 for equipment Howard is thus within $124,000 of a new $1,000,000 medical school plant. SILVER SLIPPER SCENE OF FIGHT; ONE MAN SHOT On Sunday night about 11:45 o'clock a lively melee which ended in the shooting of one of the participants occurred at the Silver Slipper Club, at Twelfth and U streets, northwest.

The fight started with Samuel Pinkney, 29, 1114 Fifth street, northwest, William Tucker, 22, 1100 Half street court, northwest, and William Tolliver, 21, 1417 Fifth street, northwest, as the principals. Josephus Taylor Lee, 32, 527 Forty-seventh street, northwest, employed at watchman at the club, stepped into the midst of the fist and word slinging and tried to stop the affair. The three men forgot their private argument and attacked Lee, who drew his revolver which he carried as a special officer and fired three times. One of the shots took effect in the chest of Tolliver, who was taken to the hospital in a taxi. Pinkney, Tucker, and Lee were arrested, the first two charged with disorderly conduct, and the latter charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. Tolliver's condition was reported at the hospital as not serious. WEST VIRGINIA GLEE CLUB SEES COOLIDGE The members of the glee club of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, Institute, W.

CLAIMS FINANCE LOCAL BOY WINS CORP.MANAGED SIGNAL HONORS WRONG; SUES AT CLEVELAND Charging mismanagement resulting in insolvency, Edward Sinkfield, 301 R street, northwest filed suit in the District Supreme Court last Friday against the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation, for an accounting and a receivership. This is the second suit of this kind against the defendants. The first suit was filed by George F. Hatton in August, 1925. It was dismissed recently by consent of the parties. In his bill of complaint filed through Attorney R. R. Horner, Mr. Sinkfield alleges that the defendants made a settlement with Mr. Hatton out of court to avoid an accounting. Attorney George E. C. Hayes, who, with Attorney George A. Parker, is representing the defendants, denies this allegation and says that there is no foundation for it. Mr. Horner collaborated with the attorneys for Mr. Hatton and desired to intervene in that case, Mr. Hayes asserts, but was later advised by them that an investigation of the affairs of the Allied convinced them that it was to the best interest of their client and all others concerned that the suit be dismissed. Mr. Sinkfield is a stockholder. He says that he purchased 50 shares of preferred and 25 shares of common stock for $650 March 17, 1921, paying $100 in cash and giving his promissory note for $550 payable in monthly installments of $10 each. He made 42 payments. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants illegally attempted to dissolve the corporation in 1922, but the Delaware authorities refused GETS DIVORCE FROM HUSBAND WHO DESERTED An interlocutory decree granting an absolute divorce to Mrs. Ada Hawkins was signed by Justice F. L. Siddons in the District Supreme Court last Friday. Mrs. Hawkins charged her husband with deserting her and living with Beatrice Goodrich, whom he held out as his wife, at No. 2903 Sherman avenue, northwest. In the trial of the case, a birth certificate was produced showing that a child had been born to Beatrice Goodrich on June 12, 1924. In this birth certificate John H. Hawkins was named as the father of the child. A police court record was also produced showing that Beatrice Goodrich, alias Beatrice Hawkins, had been arrested November 20, 1924, at the Sherman avenue address, on a statutory charge. She forfeited $25 collateral in police court. The complaining witness was her husband, Richard Goodrich, who filed a suit for an absolute divorce and named John H. Hawkins as the co-respondent. Mr. Goodrich has since died. Mrs. Hawkins was represented by Attorneys Hayes and Davies.

Dr. Howley will re-open his store at the corner of Seventh and S streets, which a few weeks ago was closed by fire. He will be opened again by Sunday. Dr. Burwell has been in the drugging business in Washington for the past ten years at the corner of Twelfth and U streets. He succeeded Dr. Armanda Gray, the first colored woman to own a drug store in Washington. He is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, class of 1913. Dr. Thomas, who is a graduate of the Washington College of Pharmacy, 1925, entered the partnership with Dr. Burwell in March 1925. Dr. Howley has been operating a drug store in Washington for fifteen years. He purchased his present site at Seventh and S streets about six months ago. Dr. Burwell will take charge of his new drug store at Vermont and R in about two weeks.

OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. cher, D Two Al , Va., February 22, and placed a w Colored Boy Scuts have ever visited VIRGIN ISLES CITIZENSHIP BILL PASSED VIRGIN ISLES CITIZENSHIP BILL PASSED The Senate last Friday concurred in the House amendment to its bill conferring United States citizenship upon the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands. The House amendment reduced the export duty on sugar from $8 to $6 a ton. The bill was passed by the Senate two weeks ago. It now goes to the President for his approval. The House last Wednesday passed the Senate bill conferring citizenship upon the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands and extending the naturalization laws to these insular possessions. The Senate bill was called up by Representative Edgar R. Kies, Republican, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the House insular affairs committee. An identical House bill was on the calendar but if it had been passed the law would not have become effective at this session. The bill provides that all former Danish citizens who have continued to reside in the Virgin Islands or in the United States and who did not preserve their Danish citizenship under the terms of the convention providing for the cession of these islands to this country, and also all natives who were temporarily absent at the time of the cession and who have since returned and now reside in the islands, and their children born subsequent to the date of transfer of sovereignty shall be citizens of the United States. Persons born in the Virgin Islands after this act shall have become law will be citizens of the United States. Others Naturalized Natives of the Virgin Islands who were absent from the islands at the time of the cession to the United States and have received an honorable discharge from the military or naval forces of the United States may be naturalized without making a declaration of intention upon filing a petition within one year after the passage of this act and complying with the other provisions of the naturalization laws. The district court of the United States for Porto Rico is given jurisdiction for the naturalization of aliens residing in the Virgin Islands. "The enactment of this legislation," said Mr. Kicss, is an act of justice to these people, who will thus be given fresh courage for the larger problems crying for solution and renewed confidence in the great Nation of which they were glad to become a part." Half Citizenship Representative Charles J. Linthicum, Republican, of Maryland, favored an amendment granting half citizenship. He expressed opposition to permitting the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands, 93 percent of whom are colored, to come into the United States and vote in the states. The act as passed by the House gives them the right to qualify as votes anywhere in the United States. The Virgin Islands were purchased from Denmark in 1917 for the sum of $25,000,000. The United States took possession March 31, 1917. The Danish laws are still in effect. The government of the islands is in the hands of the Navy Department.

Board of Medi- cation in Chicago warrant a fall and serious consideration, the fol- lowing resolution was adopted by er teare sitting in Washington, D. C.: “In Case C-107, Brotherhood of Sleeping. Car Porters vs. The Pull- man Company, Mr. Morrow pre- sented a report covering certain facts and claims as submitted by the contending parties. The board was of the opinion that further in- vestigation is necessary in this case and Mr. Morrow was directed to secure ail necessary evidence from both parties bearing upon the question of representation, authori- zation to represent, and such oth- cr matters as may indicate the de- sire of the employees by a peti- tion, ballot, membership or other- wise, as to the form and charac- ter of representation they desire.” At the headquarters of the Broth. erhood, 2811 avenue, A. Philip Randolph, general organizer, said that his organization was ’ fully prepared to meet all of the require- ments of the resloutions. Randolph's Statement He asserted, “We have a com- fortable majority of the 12,000 men and women in the service en: rolled as members of the Brother. hood of Sleeping Car Porters. They have signified their panes of the Brotherhood as the expressior of their aims and desires, as gainst the Pullman Company’s Un ion, controlled and owned by the Pullman Company, and used in every instance against the best in: terest of the employees. “The Brotherhood also has in it: possession affidavits and other documents to prove that the so called aoe Representatior Plan is a fraud put over on th men against their will and knowl. tga CRIME SITUATION TO BE STUDIED AT Y.M. GA, Sie of ee ee ings celled in Washington for a lone time was recently held in. the zee to consti. fe ae jomicider rate and high delingen- ey carnoeg a caieel eee the city. After the chairman, Campbell C. Johnson, secretary of the Y.M.CA. gave ‘statistics on the subject the represen citi- zens who had to discuss ‘the situation, declared unanimous: ly that strenuous efforts should be ‘made immediately to correct the evils and improve the conditions whieh so seriously affected the race ‘in this city. The necessity of arousing the parents of the community to do their duty to their chilaren was emphasized s0 that the schools may be relieved of trying to do for our youth the work which should be done in the home. At- tention was called to the fact that there is a ls ze numa her of incorrigible ildven in the city and*there is no agency supported by colored people to look after delinquency such ag white people have for that pur- pose. Amusements Censored Laxness in homes and question- able places of amusement were cited ‘as. factors which contribute powerfully to the unfortunate con- ‘ditions which prevail. It was sug- ‘gested that the colored playhouses ‘and ballrooms should be censored, and that parent-teacher associa- tions should co-operate with the churches in doing this work. Regret was expressed that in some instances the police depart- ment does not function properly and will not co-operate with the citizens and that there is no va- grancy law here. It was claimed that colored girls are arrested and placed in jail more quickly than white girls. and an investigation along this line was suggested. The fact that it is difficult to induce the women of Washington to help our girls in Y.W.C.A. work was deplored, Gun Toting ‘The appalling tendency among men to carry guns was mentioned as one of the reasons why the crime record here is so high and it was urged that radical steps should be taken to remedy the ev- il. Failure to enforce the prohibi- tion laws was cited as one of the reasons not only for the increase of crime growing out of intemper- ance but for the general disre- gard and contempt for law. The opinion was expressed that we are living in an age of bad moral conditions brought on largely by the world war and that a revival of religion seems about the only remedy, that can effect a change. At. the close of the meeting a steering committee composed of Campbell C. Johnson, H. H. Long and West A. Hamilton was ap- pointed to study the situation eare- fully and report to the whole ‘com- mittee as soon as they had decided upon a definite plan of action.

Dudley, Sr. Tn my epliian ie yaa oasis days are numbered and cannot stand much longer, and the same applies to the small tabloid shows, known as tabs. I think that within the next three years we will be without either, as the public is demanding better accomodations and a higher and better line of attractions. > There are few small theatres that will stand but they are located in cities where there is no com- petition and our people are forced to patronize them. It is a pity that almost in every city where there are large béautiful theatres for us there are two for them. Isn't it too bad that they are not located differently so as to have one good theatre in each city? It would break jumps for the shows and give the managers more profit for their investments. ‘Too Many Small Ones Take Washington for an exam- ple; we have three beautiful thea- tres, here all located in the north- west section in a radius of seven | blocks. And we have nine smaller theatres all catering to our people. Well that’s too many theatres for Washington, and wherein they are THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25. 1997 open, few of them are maknig any money, and unless there is some- thing done in the way of merging or. closing some of these, some- body is going broke trying to stay open. Now as to those out of town: Indianapolis has too many theatres, If it had one good one it would be better. This same situation exists in Louisville, there are few other cities that haven't so much com- tition but should have better and Finger theatres, I¢ the present managers in these cities don’t wake up, they will find themselves in the same position as the small theatre, managers. Be Progressive To succeed in show business you must be progressive. I have ‘a small theatre and I am no ex- ception. When the small theatres go, I go with them; or if I intend to stay in the theatre business I must get a larger and better play house, All I possess and all my life’s earnings are invested in Washington and we already have too many theatres here so what am I to do? My position is a peculiar one; I must either get a larger theatre or get out of the business and take up something else. Founder of Circuits But why should I get out, when I can say without fear of contra- diction that I am the founder of Negro circuits? thabit I should get « larger thentes if I should get a larger in Washington, I can and I will get the biggest and best attrac- tions, because I hold the Theater Owners’ Booking Association fran- chise for this city, and for years have been in the booking business.

Lautier The Howard University Players, under the direction of M. Franklin Peters, W. A. Hunton and Helen Marion Wheatland, presented three one-act plays in the Rankin Memorial Chapel last Thursday evening. The first was "The Twelve-Pound Look" by J. M. Barrie. Miss T. Eugene Haltzclaw won the applause of the audience for her acting in the role of "Kate," the former wife of Sir Harry, who ran away from him because she was oppressed by his worship of success and left him under the false belief that she had eloped with a man in order that he might divorce her and both have their freedom. In the play she returns unknowingly to his home as a typist on the eve of his being knighted. She tells him that when she had become surfeited of his success, she ran away from him as soon as she had earned 12 pounds, the price of a typewriter and reproached him for causing that "Twelve-Pound Look" to appear in the eyes of his second wife. Miss Eva T. Hilton had the part of Lady Sims. Cecil Marquez was Sir Harry, and Wilfred Travis was the butler. The second play, "The Workhouse Ward," was an Irish comedy. Walter Merrick as Michael Miskell and Rewan O. Murray as Mike McInerney gave fine interpretations of their difficult roles, sneaking the Irish dialect fluently. Miss Frances Thornton had the part of Honor Donohoe. The closing play was "A Minuet," a scene between the Marquis and Marchioness in a French jail during the "Reign of Terror" just before they are led to the guillotine. The cast consisted of Barrington Guy as the Marquis, Miss Genevieve Lomax as the Marchioness, and Julian Blache as the gaoler. The acting in this play, on the whole, surpassed that of the other two plays. DEATHS OF THE WEEK MRS.

Senator George H. Norris, Republican, chairman of the Senate judiciary committee, which also favorably reported the resolution, sought unanimous consent for the immediate consideration of the resolution.

FEBRUARY 25. 1927 FRATERNITY TO GIVE OUT TEN SCHOLARSHIPS FRATERNITY TO GIVE OUT TEN SCHOLARSHIPS JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 24 "It was announced at the National office of the Knights of Toussaint, this week that the order will award at least ten scholarships beginning next year to Negro young men and women in the study of Negro history. Speaking to a representative of the press, A. Fitzholan Wallace, founder and grand supreme ruler of the order said: "It is heart rending to come in contact with college men and women who know so little of Negro history. Negroes should give more study to the work of Carter G. Woodson, and other Negro historians," for, as he said: "It is only by knowing Negro history will the Negro find himself. No race can rise any higher than its ideals, and the background for Negro ideals must be found in past achievements of Negroes." The National Council meeting of the order will be held in Jacksonville February 21-22 at the Knights of Toussaint Castle and will take up matters of national importance touching on the educational and financial program of the order. BARRY FARMS On Washington's birthday, several house parties by the younger set, who were home because of the school holiday, afforded an evening of pleasure for many.

The Sunday following the canvass, the pastor, Rev. M. Wilcox, preached to a full house. The Charles W. Stark Lodge of Knights of Pythias is gradually increasing its membership. The time and place for the annual sermon will soon be announced by Attorney Jesse Ulysses Banks.

EXELENTO MEDICINE COMPANY ATLANTA, GEORGIA AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE Write for Particulars MISSIONARIES TALK OF PLANS FOR LIBERIA By Allen B. Doggett. Jr. HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. Feb. 24.—In an endeavor to plan a program of education for Liberia based upon community needs twenty-five missionaries and educators from the Republic met February 8-18 at Hampton Institute under the leadership of James L. Sibley, educational adviser to mission boards and colonization societies interested in Liberia. Both white and Negro organizations having missionaries and teachers in Liberia were represented at this conference. The interest of the conference centered in methods of education tried successfully in America, especially in the south by the Jeanes supervisors, as typified by the work of Virginia Randolph in Henrico County, Va. It is realized, according to Mr. Sibley, that the work of the missionaries must shift from evangelical work to educational work and that the various groups in the field must fit themselves to bring to Liberia the type of education that will help in community life. Topics of Interest Among the interesting series of topics brought before the conference might be mentioned; co-operation between missionary agencies and the government in the educational program; redirection of educational work, with emphasis upon community needs; reorganization of mission schools in keeping with these needs; selection and training of workers in the Liberian field; a suitable curriculum for Liberian schools; and the preparation of textbooks for use in these schools. The conference discussed the reorganization of mission work in the field of primary education and in that of the high school and college, while technical trade and agricultural work were recommended as supplementary. The groups represented are committed to the development of at least two colleges with courses in liberal arts for the training of leadership. These colleges are expected to supplement the work of the national college which the government will develop at Monrovia. Firestone Present Harvey Firestone, Jr., was a guest of the conference and gave assurances that his company was interested in the social welfare and permanent development of the Liberian people. Mr. Firestone took no active part in the conference discussions, but used the opportunity afforded by the conference to become acquainted with workers in that mission field. A number of secretaries and representatives of interested boards visited the conference. Among those were representatives from the Protestant Episcopal Church, Lott Carey Society, Methodist Episcopal Church, United Lutheran Church. African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, Phelps-Stokes Fund, Slater Fund, General Education Board, and the American New York and-Boston Colonization Societies.

This article was presented by Dr. William E. Waters, second vice-president of the alumni association. Dr. William C. Golnes, speaking about the matter, advised whenever possible to ignore the drugs and the salesmen of drug concerns which are affiliated with the "Bulletin of Pharmacy." He further suggested that all subscriptions to the magazines which publish such articles be cancelled to show that self-respecting members of our group do not wink at open insults. Accomplishment Reviewed Dr. W. H. Jackson, secretary-treasurer, of the college reviewed the accomplishments of the institution pointing out the progress made during the few years of its existence. Thirty-one graduates of the school have passed state boards in North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Michigan, and the District of Columbia. He said further, that 84 per cent of the relief clerks in the city of Washington, are graduates of the school. A senior of the school, Vernon Porter, was one of the two successful persons to pass the District board at its January term. Dr. Jackson predicted a great future for the school. Dr. Jackson Springs Surprise Dr. Jackson then told of the drug stores in this city, that were owned and operated by graduates of the Washington College of Pharmacy. He named Dr. Charles A. Twine, 1319 H street, northeast, Dr. Luther B. Wiseman, 4th and Elm streets, northwest, and Dr. Vincent Thomas, for, he said, Dr. Thomas had become the sole owner of the drug store at 12th and U streets, northwest, at 12 midnight. Banquet a Success Banquet a Success The banquet was a unique event, comprising, as it did, the three groups affiliated with the school, Dr. Robert G. McGuire, president was master of ceremonies. He kept the banqueters in a merry mood all evening. During the course of the program the gathering was addressed by: Dr. Parker, secretary of the alumni association; Dr. Elliot, Mr. William Smith, of the second year class; Mr. Dickerson, of the senior class; Dr. Randall, of the faculty; Mr. Green, of the Freshman class; Dr. Johnson, of faculty; Misses Macletta Brown and E. M. Hodges; Dr. Sudler, and Dr. DeReef Holton, of the alumni; and John Holton, a student. Mr. Harry Renfo afforded entertainment at the piano. Working for School The entire body pledged its loyalty to the school. It was pointed out that great sacrifices had been made on all sides. The school has been supported by tuitions, donated services and money, and a yearly dance.

Managed Wrong (Continued from page 1) to recognize the validity of the dissolution and informed the defendants that the corporation could only be dissolved by a two-thirds vote of the stockholders. The corporation was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, December 22, 1920. After this attempted dissolution, Mr. Siniffield says, he accepted a small payment as a partial distribution of the assets of the corpora- Hayes' Statement On behalf of his clients, Mr. Hayes said: "The alleged illegal attempt at dissolution consists of nothing other than a failure to reduce to writing an actual vote taken of more than two-thirds of the stockholders, and in order to strictly comply with the dissolution law steps have been taken to take this vote over again recording it in writing. The Delaware authorities, the allegations of the bill to the contrary notwithstanding, have in no sense refused to recognize the validity of any proposed dissolution nor indeed has it come to their attention. "The failure of the stockholders to pay their stock subscriptions in the face of a heavy overhead expense, made it apparent to the stockholders that it was better to dissolve this corporation, and they so evidenced by their votes. Refuse Salaries "As far as the officers named as defendants are concerned, the only thing that has characterized their actions is a consistent refusal to take any kind of salary. "Every attempt has been and is being made to collect all available assets," and as distributable amounts have come into the hands of the officers, distribution has been made, in which distributions the officers have refused to participate preferring rather that all available assets be turned over to the other stockholders in order that they might be placed as nearly as pos- sible in or origiinal status. "The fact is that notice has only recently gone out to all stockholders that another distribution is now available. "It does seem lamentable that whole-hearted conscientious effort of this kind should be met by an apparent effort to discredit. Do you desire an answer as to why this sort of thing is done? Read the personnel of the officers and the board of directors. You will recognize immediately that they are made up of men of outstanding accomplishments and success, men who have won the confidence of the public in their several communities. Then, think of the old story of the crabs in a basket and you will see what the real motive behind this suit is. "It is greatly to be hoped that the outcome of this suit will, as I doubtless will, reflect the true characters of the various parties involved." TAU DELTA SIGMA HAS VARIED PROGRAMS FOR FEBRUARY The week of February 14 was a busy and interesting week for Tau Delta Sigma, beginning with Valentine night, when a dance was given by the members at the fraternity home. Tau Delta Sigma auditorium was crowded to its capacity on Friday, February 18 at the Lincoln-Douglass day celebration. An address was delivered by Attorney William R. Richards, the oldest instructor on the Howard University Law School staff. Attorney Richards was personally acquainted with Lincoln and Douglass. He told how Douglass was greatly responsible for the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments being enacted. Sunday, February 20, at the Metropolitan Methodist Church, the fraternity presented its annual program. The subject for discussion was "Good Citizenship." Attorney Peter P. Richardson, who has just been admitted to the Washington bar, and is the youngest Negro lawyer in the District, was introduced. ```markdown ``` Armstr TURNER'S LEAD MISS TURNER'S LEAD GROWS; MISS DOWNING CLIMBS Well, we received a vote all the way from New York City this week.

A short cut happened in the wires. My friend called it a short circuit, but why say all that when in reality it was a short cut towards no lights and darkness. Fortunately, however, they lasted until the old juice wagon got back 'neath the guiding beacons of the Capital, after which everything was hotsy-totsy. Well to come back where I started we have arrived, as I said before, in Baltimore. Our noses point toward the New Albert Auditorium, and we head that way arriving about 8:20. After a severe mauling we finally succeeded in being shoved in the one direction we want to go. Women are crowding the box office like it is a bargain counter, and after securing our pasteboards we are pushed one way and then another until at last some kind hearted person gives us, collectively, a gentle nudge which carries us to the stairway leading up to the playing court. Here we are delayed until our elongated friend is able to unwrap himself from around a balustrade post. Crowded House On the steps we are hard pressed to keep from being run over as everybody is rushing head over heels with the single determination of getting himself or herself that which has been minus since long before 8 o'clock—a seat.

LACY, Sports Editor TECH TOSSERS TAKE SECOND STRAIGHT TECH TOSSERS TAKE SECOND STRAIGHT The Armstrong Technical High basketball team won the interscholastic championship of the city last Monday afternoon defeating Dunbar 15-6 in the Armstrong gym. This was the deciding game due to the previous win the Orange and Blue scored February 9th on the Dunbar court. The affair was very poorly contested and was far from being exciting. On only one or two occasions was there enough action to warrant a degree of enthusiasm. A slow start by the Red and Black boys allowed the Tech five to establish a 9-point lead in the first half, the ball sounding on a 10-1 count. The Dunbar team came back after intermission and showed fight but the Orange and Blue defensive game very capably covered their advantage. Little "Mickey" Syphax was the outstanding performer for the losers, scoring 4 of his team's 6 points and displaying a neat floor game. Graham 1928 Captain Immediately at the close of the game, which ended the series, the Armstrong team unanimously elected Lonny Graham, forward and season's high-point scorer, to captain the 1927-28 five.

The Stanton Club, white contender for the city's unlimited championship and 1926 runners up to the Anacostia Eagles, present title holders, will appear at the Colonnade for the first time of their existence against the Orange and Black amateur champions. Having defeated the Arrows, lie Drew is in good spirits along with the other youngsters up on the orchestra platform, and up in the extreme right hand corner are the Misses Horetnse Gray and Edith Pinn. The referee's whistle, the scorer's horn, the horn's mells, the ladies' screams, the players' calls all intermingle and what a racket they make. To me it is strange how the sleepy cops across the street can slumber on undisturbed. Noise, noise and more coming. With every minute the size of the mob increases, and at the end of the preliminary there is an overflow. Enter the Gladiators Howard appears first and is received with a burst of applause. Exactly 40 seconds later the Morgan quint comes out headed by little Eddie Carroll, mascot. A volume of cheers and roars greets the appearance of the Phantom Five, and everyone on the front line of the S. R. crowd tried to shake hands with some one of the players. Carroll leading the team around in line caged his shot, so did Clarke, Brown, Payne—great day—Spencer, Sheff—gee whiz—Jones—oh, my seven straight—Hill's toss hesitated on the edge, stopped and then fell in, Thomas' hesitated, paused, waited, leaned in, lazily turned over and fell out. Down in the Howard line every other player is passing back. Cobb, Hill, and Bundur made good their attempts, but Woods passed badly to Coates and the Blue and White forward missed his shot by inches. Ready to Start While the start of the game is being held up, to try to clear enough floor for the teams to play on, let's take a glance at the foul shooting practise. Pinky Clarke is on the Morgan 15 foot line. He shoots one—two—three—four straights and barely misses. Jones walks up shoots six out of eight tries, while on the Howard Boward Spears cages two, misses one, makes two more. Take it from me these teams are primed. Forty minutes is required to clear sufficient playing space, and finally the two teams agree to play in the oval formed by the crowd which rounds out all four corners and gives the court the shape of an egg. At the end of the contest we wend our ways individually through the throng to the old reliable lizzy parked somewhere within a radius of half dozen blocks, and return home. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1927 HOWARD INTRAMURALS YANKEE-CARLISLE GAME TUESDAY On Tuesday, March 1, the Washington Yankees, conquerors of the famous Boston Whirlwinds, will journey to the Colonnade to meet the fast traveling Carlisle basketeers. This game will go a long way to decide who's who in unlimited basketball circles in this city. The Yankee quint has tasted few defeats this season. They have mowed down many local teams games that it appeared they were picking easy opponents but when they handed the fast Fitton K. of C. quint from Boston a 42 to 24 pasting they stamped themselves as being second to no club in this section of the country. The Yankees have victories over all of the most formidable quints in or near Washington and Baltimore. The Anacostia Eagles, present D. C. Champs, have refused to meet the Yankees. Sauber and Ford Remain The team is composed of only two members of the old Yankee machine. Nate Sauber and Tommy Ford are the only players left from the once famous Yankee quint which won six consecutive city championships. With Mickey McDonald, the Mitchell Brothers, Sweeney and a few others, the present Yankee quint has rounded out to a very formidable club. When the Carlisle and Yankee quints clash there should be action galore. The Carlisle tossers have been going at a mile-a-minute clip. One interesting feature of this contest will be the appearance of Nate Sauber against the Carlisles. Sauber was coach of the Carlisle team for the past three years. The locals owe much of their success to this veteran of the court. His play against a team which knows his tricks will be watched with interest. If the Carlisle basketeteers can take the white boys into camp they will have accomplished something that has not been done in the history of local basketball, namely a win over the famous Yankee quint by a colored five; a win over apparently coming D. C. Champs. who are in a tie for the senior title, with so much ease early in the season, and having conquered the Epiphany Roses long considered the best of white amateur quints in Washington, and who are present South Atlantic Senior champions, the Yellowjackets have booked the Stanton quint, in an effort to live up to the many good things said about Community games. The Stantons have defeated everything they have played this season with the exception of the Anacostia Eagles. On only this one occasion when they were beaten by 6 points, has the Stanton quint come out on the short end of the score. Stantons Are Good Sunday basketball at the Colonade seems to be increasing with each week. Basketball of the highest type is presented each Sunday. On February 13 the Alco-Community game was a humdinger, and the Community-Epiphyth Rose clash of last Sunday was exciting from start to finish. The Stanton game this Sunday and the second Alco game on March 6th gives promise of at least two Sundays more of worthwhile court play. A Carlisle-Community agreement also seems to be in the formative stage. Wouldn't that be a whopper though? Oh, boy! COMETS DOWN FOOTBALL DRIVERS It took little 130-pound Frank Gordon to do what warriors of 7 colleges strived vainly to accomplish last Fall. Though Livingstone, Morehouse, West Virginia Institute, Fisk, Wilberforce, Atlanta University, and Lincoln sent football teams forth to do battle against the Howard Bisons, none of their men were able, in any great degree, to stop Jack Coles and Tick Smith. Frank Gordon, diminutive guard on the Comet five participants in the Howard University intra-mural tournament stopped the broken field demon Coles and the snorting Tick Smith single handed, and by doing so enabled his team to came victorious in a 14-13 battle royal, the first on last Saturday's program.

Getting off to a good start Howard had scored three points before Morgan could size up the situation. Finally hitting her stride, Morgan tied the score three all. Both teams were playing real basketball but were somewhat handicapped by the tremendous crowd that swarmed the playing court. The lightmig-like passing by both teams brought great uproars from the fans. Coach Burr's men were checking, on the defense and the score remained five all for the first period. Captain Lanky Jones for Morgan realizing the situation called time out and talked some things over with the team. From this point on Morgan was master of the situation. The half ended with Morgan in the van 14 to 8. The growing crowd gradually eliminated the thrills of the game and both teams suffered accordingly. Hill for Morgan started the scoring in the second half and his teammates were soon leading by a comfortbale margin. Morgan made some substitutions at this point and Coach Burr making a hurried estimation of the situation sent Washington in for Spears and Woods for Coates. Coach Drew of Morgan, with but eight minutes to go, sent his other regulars back in, with hopes of piling up a large score but the Howardides would not let up and the game ended 27-13.

COMMUNITY RALLY BEATS BORDENTOWN In one of the fastest and most closely contested basketball games ever seen on a local floor, the Community Yellowjackets, with a whirlwind finish, came from behind last Monday night on the Y. M. C. A. court and snatched an apparent victory out of the hands of Bordentown's cyclonic tintet of tossers. The score was 41-39. Starting with a pace which kept the local five dizzy until near the end of the first half, the invaders established a lead of 6 points in the first 8 minutes. When the whistle blew to suspend hostilities, however, the lead had been diminished to 1 point. Community hopes were blasted, when opening the second period the Blue and White Cyclones scored 4 field goals in such rapid succession that the Yellowjackets were completely bewildered. A count of 17-16 was quickly brought to 25-16 by the visiting avalanche, and from this point up to 7 minutes before the finish the big gap, between the scores, remained. Could Not Lose At the end of the third quarter Bordentown was still on the long end of a 32-24 count. During the rest period before play was resumed the Orange and Black boys got their heads together and convinced each other that "they could not lose." Two field baskets and a foul netted the New Jerseyans 37 points and one of each gave Community 27 inside of the next three minutes. The remaining 7 minutes witnessed court playing of the hair raising variety. Not a single spectator could be found in his seat. Seven minutes to go the score was 37-27 with the invading host ahead. Ellis caged a shot while unbalanced cutting under his basket, and a little later Thomas' follow shot brought the score to 37-31 with 5 and one-half minutes remaining. When B. McCann, the Blue and White center was fouled he caged his fifth toss from the 15-foot line. Lacy shot from the sideline and Bordentown, with the score 38-33, called a time-out.

Henderson, taken right out of High School, where he starred, as captain and center, with the Armstrong Tech quint last year, has very creditably filled the position of center on the Carlisles. Though a 6-footer, Slim is exceptionally aggressive, and can match speed with a number of pivotmets. He will be seen in action Tuesday against the well known Nate Sauber, Yankee star. Epiphany Roses at last Meet a Waterloo Outpassing, outshooting, and outfighting the Epiphany Roses, white South Atlantic Amateur champions, at the Colonnade last Sunday afternoon, the Community Yellowjackets took into camp a 35-27 victory. The few hundred fans who braved the bad weather were rewarded with a highly fast game of skillfully played basketball. The Epiphany Roses a team that is very much respected in white senior circles, played their usual bang up game but the Yellowjackets' defense was too difficult a puzzle for them to solve. Mickey McDonald of Central High fame, known as one of the most accurate shots in Washington and who was given a try out with Baltimore in the American Professional Basketball league led his Red and Black warriors against the Orange and Black of Community, in a vain effort to slacken the speed with which the Yellowjackets have been traveling. Community Leads Community The game was of the characteristic steadiness which usually is noticeable in the Orange and Black play. At the first quarter post the score stood Community 10, Roses 2. The halfway mark found the same 8 point advantage for the colored boys, the count being 17-9. During the 10 minutes following the rest period the white team closed the gap by 1 point, but in the home stretch the Yellowjackets regained it and the contest ended 35-27. This score at the close of the third period was 25-18 in Community's favor. Though it was played under the professional foul rules the game was exceptionally fast, and rough only in spots. On only one occasion was deliberate roughness evident, that when Lacy was guilty of flagrantly handling Braddock, Epiphany left guard. Ellis' field goal started the proceedings followed by two award tosses by Thomas. Johnson took the tap off and carried it in alone to cage a pretty hook and bring the count to 6-0. Foul shots by Hayes and McDonald were inserted here and reduced the lead momentarily to 4 points, but only momentarily. Thomas looped a neat overhead toss going away from his basket and later following with another Community double-decker the quarter ended. With this 8 point lead established the colored team matched each alien basket and the same advantage was held throughout almost the entire game. An interesting factor of the evening was the presence of such a large number of fair fans, who despite the necessity of galoshes turned out in round numbers. In the preliminary mix-up the Washington Scholastics were surprised when the heretofore little known Armstrong Arrows ran off with a 26-20 win over the Y Senior League quint.

A. Yellow-jackets experienced their second setback of the season at the hands of the Miner Normal quint last Saturday night in the latter's gym by the score of 29-23. The Normal school boys displayed a puzzling variety of passes and shots. At times the Blue and White lads made the Yellow-jackets look like they did not know what it was all about. Sellman's uncanny shooting was too much for the amateur champions and the Miner Normals used good judgment in keeping their center fed with chances.
