KNOCKERS
 AND RIBBONS TO MlNGLE TOMORROW

That clever New York basketball aggregation, the Knickerbockers, will appear at Colonial hall tomorrow night to tackle the Blue Ribbons. Sev- era1 weeks ago the Ribbons gave the visitors a trimming but they will have to display greater skill in shooting to repeat tomorrow.
 Manager Leavy of the Ribbons req 1izes that his team has been weaken ed in the last two games by the aib- sence of Bobby Stow, who is coaching the Yale basketball squad. He ex- poets to have Stow on hand tomorrow, however. Beckman, who did such fine work against Yonkers last week, will also be on the floor as will Roxey Roach, the bur1y guard.
 The Knickerbockers have the best system of passing seen here, with the possible exception of the Utica five. Ernst and Smolich are recognized as stars and Acker is also a good man.
 There will be a preliminary game and the usual dancing will follow the main contest.
