HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
 STAGE A COMEBACK
Gilbert High Quintet Routed By
 Local Hoop TOSSerS

Displaying a complete reversal in form, the hoop ringers of the New Britain High school, experienced lit tie difficulty in taking the quintet representing the Gilbert High school of Winsted into camp Saturday att- ernoon in the local school gymnasium, score 41 to 1S The visitors came to this city expecting an easy Vic- tory, but after the first few minutes of play they soon discovered that they were up against a harder proposition than they anticipated.
 Fine pass work and accurate shoot ing by the locals rolled up fortyone points for the home boys in the first half, the work of Breckenbridge and | Captain Schmidt standing out in the fore. Time and again this pair com pletely mystifed the visitors by their 1 clever pass work, and their deadly eye i for the net wrought havoc with the | boys from the town of weird newspa-N per tales. During the entire game Breckenbridge found the baskets for 1 10 goals from the field and on six oc- casions he found a resting place for the ball from the foul line.
 The locals put in a number of sub- 
 i scrubs showed to advantage, Bachulus6 Stepanan and Barton playing cley- i erly. Brown was the star performer for the losers while G. Hayes clever i shooting brought forth applause on ! several occasions. Dick Dillon ham, died the game in his usual capable manner. The score and summary: N. B. H. $.

Philadelphia, Feb. 2S-PennSyl- vania, with only another game to play, holds first place in the Inter collegiate Basketball league race by a hair. Half a game is all that sep arates the Quakers from Princeton, and Cornell is just game and half behind with four more games to play. In the critical week of the schedule Yale dropped out of the running and Columbia got a strangle hold on last place with Dartmouth one notch higher in the league stand ing.
 Princeton's victory over the Quak- CTS on Wednesday night changed the whole complexion of the league race, for it brought the Pennsylvania five down from it's commanding position. By winning their remaining games the pair will be tied for the title; but inasmuch as each has to play Cornell on the Ithacans' home floor the chances appear against such a result
 Cornell with all it's games on the armory floor is conceded to have a chance to regain the championship honors. Dartmouth meets the Itha- cans at Cornell tomorrow night, and Columbia will encounter the same team on Friday while Yale and Princeton are battling in their final clash. Pennsylvania will be idle
 McNichol shot out to a command ing lead for individual honors last week. The Quaker leader now has IA points. Haas of Princeton is pres sing Kinney of Yale close for the runner-up position. These three are lengths ahead of the field.

The Chanlnian.

 He was Champion-and more He was the one Unbeaten King; He packed kick in each big mitt; He was the bloke With Everything; They couldn't beat him with an axe, No other rival had a show The moment he made up his mind To kick in With the closing blow lie was the Champion-the prize He murdered them with lefts and
 rights
 He smeared them in the resin stuff And broke their hearts in twenty
 fights:
 Beat him? No rival had 2. chance, To stand up With a guy like this, Who knew the straight road to the And never knew the way to miss. He was the Champion-and then l saw him fading, round by round; I saw the grim smile leave his lips Where body punches held him bound; I saw the blur that swept his eyes, The hurt, beWildered look of one Who wonders what it's all about, A something new beneath the sun. He was the champion-but nov l saw him fall to rise no more, A broken hulk of battered flesh, A thing of resin, dirt and gore; A mass that quivered-then lay A junk heap in a smoke-filled den.

The Ouinnet Case.

We must confess to a feeling of deep sympathy for Francis Ouimet.
 He went into the sporting goods business before he had ever known any golfing fame-before he had even qualified in an amateur cham pionship. It was a natural drift, for his uncle was manager of the store in ques- ton.
 He has known no other business There was no sudden change to capitalize his golfing prowess. He turned down offers aggregating over S15,oOO from vaudeville and the movies after he had overwhelmed vardon and Ray.
 He is a high class sportsman, able t, win with respect for his opponent and to lose without an excuse or a scmblance of pique.
 And now, not for changing his tCsiness, but for a natural enlarge ment of it's scope, the one golfer in America who was able to repel the British invasion and save this country a world of chagrin, is practically to be driven from competitive play. Why doesn't he take up some other professor? Well, golf is a nice game, but ones bread and meat are still just a trif1e more important than ones self
 All of which is with a due under standing of the fact that the U. $. c. A has a monumental task on it's hands in protecting the amateurism of a game that has million entries enrolled. We would hardly yearn for any such assignment. BuShers Sometimes Make Good. ! recall when they wrote of two bushers one spring This fellow will star Sn the job"- And the name of one busher was

The score was 34 to 28.
 The West Ends strengthened by the of several new players, sent the Vikings down to 35 to 29 defeat. The work of w. Hultgren featuring. Stepanian also put up bril- liant game for the winners. Miller's tossing from the foul line was very clever, the star southpaw of the league ringing up five tries.

The IA Q

Those who figure that Moran has a good chance to knock out Willard are entitled to sit down in a quiet, dmly lighted room and partake of another guess.
 A chance? Yes, but a bleak one net a good one. Moran is not only giving away 40 or 50 pounds He is also giving away g. margin in power and something in ring skill. If there is to be knockout at all, the wager ing is i to 1 that it will be from a Willard jab, rather than Moran swing. For Willard has the bulk, the weight, the height, the reach, the power and shade in speed and science-with certainly an even break in durability. Neither fighter is any fragile piece of bric-a-brac. Moth ing short of a mighty kick will drop either into the wistaria bordered Isle of Dreams.
 Bill Donovan has AZ athletes to pick from. More important still is the fact that four of these are Baker, Magee, Maisel and Caldwell

The Matter of Weight
