Thus St.

Joseph was barred from the itate tournament. I In effect, it was barred from any sort of tournament since Bt. Joseph is the only Negro high school affiliated with the state organization. Father Molloy protested at the time but to no avail. At a district meeting two weeks ago, he brought up the subject again.

Be asked that district schools waive the rule and allow his team to compete in the district sub-regionals. The subject was tabled at the time but it was agreed' that special Itieeting be called to discuss it more thoroughly. -1' It was hoped that the special meeting would be held before the state group met but such is not the case as the state officials held their meeting last weekend, before tonight's special session comes up. 'We're in a -peculiar situation," said Father Molloy, "and so is the state. We've conformed to all regulations.

Our own Catholic League afproves of our team. It's unlikely that we will be barred from the state organization'unless some good cause is shown. Since we've held up our end, no such cause can -be shown. But making it impossible for.our boys to compete in any sort of a tournament is a hardship on our team and grossly unfair to our players. We're not a very good team; Probably we will be beaten in the first round if we are allowed to compete but we want the satisfaction of knowing that we had ourchance." The situation, of course, cuts more deeply than a mere athletle controversy.

It's a national question. Thus, local and state ath-, tette officials probably feel that It is not place to make a ruling. It would be a case of the tail wagging the dog. But in justice to a team' that is a in good standing of the State High School Athletic Association, serious thought must be given Father )ktolloy''s contentions.

B. (Happy) Chandler on the signing I ot Jackie Robinson, a member of the Kansas City Monarchs, by Arooklyn President Branch Rick- 14 for the Montreal Ifarm in the International League. In a letter addressed to Chandler, the two Negro loops, following a joint meeting here last Friday, said. they wished it understood they were glad to see Negro players get the opportunity to play in white organized baseball, but were protesting the "way it was done. Charging Rickey with.

Negro baseball players naming one, John Wright, pitcher for the Home- stead in 1943, but now in the armed services. At his home at Versailles, Chandler said he had received the letters, but added that the- protest did not constitute a bona fide dispute for consideration by his office. He said he therefore had no further immediate comment on it.

Rickey was not immediately available for comment. At the time he signed Robinson, Rickey said he considered Negro baseball "in the zone a racket" Dr. Martin and Wilson said that the two Negro circuits operate on constitutions, keep minutes of their meetings and have player contracts just the same as any white league.

Coach Cage Team Again Warren H. Schuerman has been signed to coach the Concordia Seminary basketball squad for the second straight year. Last year the youthful mentor piloted his team to an even break in 16 starts. Schuerman first came to basketball prominence as a forward on the 1936-37 Beaumont High squad. After graduating from Beaumont, where he was under the tutelage of Ray Polster, present Southwest cage coach, he played with the Service tars and Bill Binigs, Muny teams.

After being chosen on a local all-star team to face the Globe Trotterd in 1941, Schuerman severely injured his knee, bringing his playing days to an end. 1 Turning then to coaching, he led the Bethlehem Juniors to the city championship for three straight seasons, before coming to Concordia last year.

Washington curitently is leading the league's Eastern Division, with the Eagles in second place. Should each team win its remaining games against other opponents, a Philadelphia victory over the Redskins would necessitate post-season playoff for the eastern title and the right to meet the Western Division champions.
