CmOAGO, — The Harlem
Globe Trotters, 1940 tampions,
and the New York Rens, winners
in 1939, have entered the world’s
professional basketball tourna
ment to be held here at the In
ternational amphitheater March
16-19 under sponsorship of the
Chicago Herald American. »
The two famous quintets will
«ompete with 14 white teams,
•elected from all oarts of the na
tion, for the world title. The Bens
this year will have a slightly
different lineup from that which
in 1940 lost by one point to the
Trotters, current champions. Tar-
zan Cooper is not with them but
Wilmeth Sidat-Single who last
year competed with a white teann
from New York state, and A1
Johnson are members of the
squad. The Trotters have been
strengthened by the addition of
Hilliary Brown at a g^ard spot.
In both 1939 and 1940, t h e
games between the Rens and the
Trotten* were high spots of the
tournament prior to the finals.
The Bens were victors by a two
point margin in 1939*
Although the white teams are
te strongest in the nation, it is al
ready c»ceded that if the cham
pionship changes, the winner will
have to defeat the Bens or the
