Jap-Americans In Hoop Team; Police Ban Game

BRIDGETON, N.J., Feb. 1.--(AP)--A basketball game in which three American-born Japanese were scheduled to play was halted by police last night in order to avert disturbances which they had been warned might develop in view of the recent announcement of Japanese atrocities.

Before a City League game between Seabrook Farms and Glass Bar started, Bridgeton Police Sergt. James McGowan notified the manager of the Seabrook Farms team that "if the game starts with a Japanese on the floor the game will be stopped."

The three youths, from a Colorado relocation center, are working at Seabrook Farms. One of the boys has a brother fighting in Italy.
