BASKETBALL

L
The Sunshine and Edgewood Girls
teams will make their debut Of the
season tonight when they meet at the
Boys Club gym. Both teams are new
to the basketball game. but are up on
nerve. The girls have been delving
into the finer points of the game dur
ing the past month under The tutelage
OF Director Clarence Taylor of the
Boys Club.
AS preliminary to the girls game,
the Boys Club five and the Clovers
will mix 1t up. This will be the Sec
ond tryout for the Clovers, who last
week gave the St. Joseph's such
hard rub. A social hour and dance
will follow the games.
This is "get back week" in the
make up of the. Bridgeport State
League representatives. They have
their chance tomorrow evening to sip
something over on the Naugatuck
five. when the two meet at the State
armory. Bridgeport's play was far
from regular last week. but that al
ways happens to the best of clubs.
The leaders as,s are due to encounter
going to help them along.
Two preliminary games will be play
ed in connection wi h the State League
contest. AT Is o'clock the Ramblers
and the Locos will start the fun fol-
lowed by nice little battle between
the Seaside and Bridgeport girls.
Here's a tip. The Seasides have de-
feated the Bridgeport girls. and the
latter have a win over the Sea side
girls. They had a few terse moments
in their former encounter. This is
the deciding game. Think it over.
About time the Ramblers and the
Boys Club meet up TO settle the
championship of the city. Most OF
the fans are of the belief that there
was an understanding that the Boys
Club were to meet the winners of the
CITY League to settle the city dispute
The Ramblers have won out. Will
they play the Club? The latter are
willing.
The Boys Club are enjoying great
season From the start they have
been sweeping everything before them
until now they are enjoying the repu-
tation of going with eighteen victor
les and no defeats. Small wonder
that the Ramblers are giving them a
clear track.
Some one has said that the Ram.
blers are playing out of town. repre-
senting themselves as the ''city cham.
pions." This rather hits a sore spot
in the makeup of other clubs in town
who believe the Ramblers have moi
the right to assume responsibilities
which really do not belong to them.
