Universal Pictures beats McPherson Globe Refiners in basketball to win Olympics final in New York City

A newsreel titled "Universal five wins Olympics basketball final" shows a game between the company team from Universal Pictures and the McPherson Globe Refiners from Globe Oil and Refining Co. of McPherson, Kansas. The McPherson team is sometimes also referred to as the Oilers, or the Refiners. The teams are seen playing in the Olympics Qualifying basketball final in New York's Madison Square Garden. People cheer the two teams. Universal defeats the McPherson Globe Refiners to win the Olympics final. The win entitled the Universal Pictures team to name 7 players to the Olympic basketball team representing the United States in the 1936 Olympics held in Berlin Germany, and McPherson Globe Refiners was able to name 6 players to the team. These two teams beat out five U.S. college teams to earn the spots in the final and determine the makeup of the U.S. Olympic Basketball team. Players in the game in this video clip include Globe Refiners forward Francis Johnson, Centers Willard Schmidt and Joe Fortenberry, and Universal forward Carl Knowles. Universal beat the Globe Refiners by a score of 44 to 43. According to a Time Magazine article of April 13, 1936, the Globe Oil & Refining team, "...have perfected a technique called dunking with which they score by jumping up above the basket, dropping the ball into it." This may be one of the earliest references to dunking, now a staple technique in basketball. The same Time article further stated of the Oilers, "On the defense, they prevent opponents from scoring by batting the ball out of the basket." Again, the Globe Refiners were demonstrating play that later became standard in modern basketball. The idea for the Globe Refiners was a company promotion scheme, thought up in 1934 by Gene Johnson, the Sales Manager of Globe Oil who had several years experience coaching basketball. The Olympic team also included Washington State Huskey player Ralph Bishop. The USA went on to win the gold, defeating Canada 19-8.

Enthusiastic speech by President Hoover at Republican National Convention in Cleveland Ohio

Former U.S. President Herbert Hoover delivers an enthusiastic speech to the Republican National Convention, during the Great Depression. Speaking out against Democratic Party New Deal programs under President Roosevelt, former President Hoover says "For the first time in the history of America, we have heard the gospel of class hatred preached from the White House." He goes on to speak against high government spending and the increase in the U.S. national debt. He states that the number unemployed is the same as at the time of the 1932 election. He wonders "what is going to be done after the election with these measures which the Constitution forbids, and the people by their votes have never authorized? What do the New Dealers propose to do with these unstable currencies, these unbalanced budgets, these debts and these taxes?" He goes on to say "our system is a government of laws and not of men. And the Republican party holds to its promises and its laws." Huge applause in the public auditorium. The NBC, MBS, CBS networks broadcast his speech.
