Lead Nearly Full Route 1 Denton, wtth an attack carefully polishert for the Poly formations that had given the Fort Worth learn 20 victories in 21 games, stop- jjed the Parrots cold. Poly netted an earjy field goal for a two-point lead, saw it erased a minute later as Cecil Martin bucketed a charity toss for Denton and James Hill sank a push shot to make the count 3-2 for the Broncos. Denton was off on a jaunt that the speedy Parrots couldn't overtake, though they pounded grimly within a poin ts three more quarters. The first quarter closed 9-6 for Denton.

Simpkins, Kearns and Hastings hiked Denton to an 18-14 advantage by the intermission, and Kearns, Martin and Hastings made it 24-18 in three quarters. In the closing quarter the Broncos went to work to keep possession of the ball and they passed it around and through the Parrot club successfully enough to hold the Fort Worth quintet to a lone free toss that period. Meanwhile, Simpkins collected a couple of goals from the floor that added the final four points for Denton. Simpkins anil West High That final period gave a beautiful exhibition of playing 1 under pressure, as Kearns, Simpkins and Hill went into action under the load of three personal fouls. A sin- jle slip-up for any of the trio would lave removed him to the bench.

None slipped. His four field goitls and one free toss tied Simpkins with West; ojt Poly for high point laurels the championship encounter, both tallying nine.

B. RAGSDALE WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. While opposition camps are saying that Secretary Hull will not run for president, the state department head, beyond a modest disavowal of personal political ambitions, is saying no more about the campaign than is President Roosevelt. Perhaps not as much.

The president spares time now and then for jibes at reporters about third term questions. Secretary Hull Is pursuing a single-minded course which ties his mind to foreign affairs. He took an active personal part in the manipulations which helped his trade pacts bill through the House. That, plus wars in Europe and Asia, pretty well fills his mind. Garner Silent Vice President Garner reads his papers, shakes his head in response to questions about his views on public affairs, and confines his remarks to: "I stand where always have.

My record speaks for itself." Back in 1932, the budget was out of kilter. The House ways and means committee, after listening to 177 witnesses in a month of hearings, brought out a bill for a sales tax to be collected from manufac- Utrers. The House voted it down, leaving the budget still out of balance and a half a billion dollars of new taxes needed. Garner was a candidate for president then, too, and had been speaker of the House less than a month. He took the floor and made one of the most dramatic addresses Uie chamber had heard in many a year.

In it he saldv "I (have) been opposed to a sales tax ever since I (have) been member of Congress, and I always (have) been and always (will be) opposed to a sales tax. But, gentlemen, if I find it Impossible to balance this budget and restore the confidence of the world and our own people in our g6vernment with, out some such tax, I would levy any tax, sales or any other kind, in order to do that." In a camp meeting atmosphere, he called for members who wanted to balance the budget to rise. The entire membership arcBe. Then he asked those who did not want to balance the budget to rise. No one arose.

Near the end, he added: "I am an organization Democrat. I never in "my life cast a vote against my own judgment except when I had to go along with the Democratic organization. I have done that and I will do it again. You must have organization." Much of the philosophy that has guided him in recent years lies in that last statement.
