Since the re-entry of Captain Hib- bard into the game, the team has taken new lease of life. There is no doubt that Hibbard's presence adds much strength to the quintet, and had he been in the game with Hartford, the home boys might have fared bet ter.
 The setback sustained on February s has not disheartened the local lads at all, but in the beating a profita ble les son was learned. Since that date the coach and every member of the team have worked as d unit to perfect the defects, and when the Red and Gold jerseyed lads take the floor tonight their followers can expect to sec them in condition to put up the kind of battle that has made New Britain High famous in the past.
 The New Haven papers have "played up' the five of that city in a glowing fashion, indicating that victory for that school is looked for. There is nc denying the fact that the Elm City school has a corking good team. The game tonight will start at S:30 o'clock

NEW HAVEN BOYS
 PLAY HERE TONIGHT
Captain Hibbard's Boys to Face Formidable Opponent at "Y. M"

Primed for the important game which brings the New Haven High school team to this city this evening as their opponents, the local Hlgh schoo1 bask t-tossers are ready for the I1nm City foe. Judging from the rec ord of the boys from the city of learn ing, the Bearse entries are in for a warm argument. but they have en- co1ntered these players previously this season. so a little thing like that does not worry them. The contest will be one of the Interscholastfc league games. and as the Hardware City |razu has lost to Hartford, they need the game tonight very badly.
 If confidence counts for anything, New Britain should finish on the toE If tba heap. The boys all realize that their foe tonight is no mean opponent and it will require everything they possess in the repertoire to grab win

the Queen City wonder, and
Mickey King, another idol of Sc
attic fans, clash in the return
bout for the 15S-lb. championship.
A few weeks ago, when Marty
put King in the shade in Port

and exclaimed: 'Deah me, what
beastly surprise!" as they figured
that 1t would take a man with a
large wallop to put anything over
the Australian; but when Farrell
outgeneraled the speedy Mick, it
dawned on them that the New
Yorker was a little more than
"clevah" and they've been hoping
for an opportunity to see him
again.
In the windup bout, Al Som
mers, Portland's pride, will en-
terrain Jack Hall. Hall is from
Sunny California and brings along
a trunkful of newspaper clippings
just to show that he is a real 60

Snappy Scraps For
Last Eagles Smoker

1t looks as IL Manager George
Shanklin isn't kidding this time.
That card of his for the final
Eagle smoker set for the 28th
looks like it will be worth seeing.
With Frank Farmer, Pacific
coast light-heavyweight champion
and extinguisher of Jack Dillon,
and the rearing Jimmy Darcy OF
Portland, the main event alone is
enough to attract a big crowd of
fans.
This will be six-round mix, "
but whether it will go that or not,
it's little early to predict. 1t
will be a good scrap, anyway, ana
both the men are in first-class
shape.
The other six-round main-event-
er, will be Marty Foley, popula r
Tacoman, who put Red Morgan
down on the Suwannee river" at
the last smoker, will clash WITH

BY FANNIE FILM

An interesting mystery drama Is
presented to the Pantages goers
this week in the skit THE Notori-
GUS Delphine," featuring Rose
Mary King. a piquant young act
ress, who has able support in w.
l.. Thorne.
There are two pretty girls there
this week, too, in patter act
They are Ford and Goodridge.
Have you seen Over the Top"
yet?
That is an interesting collec-
ton of relics that they are show
ing in front of the theater, but
Just wait until our boys get the
kaiser's helmet-and his goat,
too.
There is splendid movie at
the Hip this week in addition to
the regular vaudeville. 1t is
"The Wasp" with Kitty Gordon,
the famous stage beauty and act
ress, as the star.
The film is worth the price of
the show.
Jack PickfOrd is married.
Yes, isn't it awful. The wife is
Olive Thomas, that pretty little
actress who is winning such a
following among the movie fans
all over the U. s.
Are you rough and ready for
anything?
Bill Farnum, at the Apollo this
week, is-and he does 1t, too.
l mean that he is rough and
ready for anything and that he
does anything, too. See!
Oh, how l hate to have to ex-
plain my jokes.
Col. Mary Pickford has sent out
an S o S from her headquarters
at the Salvage Bureau of the Red
Cross for photograph records to
be distributed to her sons" in
camp. Americas Sweetheart" is
doing her big bit in every possible
direction, selling bonds, raising
money for the Red Cross, sending
cigarettes to soldiers, giving
smilage books away. In fact, she
has done something for every or
ganization in the list.
The Blue Ridge mountains OF
Kentucky, with its moonshiners,
feuds and revenue officers, is the
locale of Fatty" Arbuckle's latest
Paramount comedy. The story has
to do with the illegal operations
of moonshiners and their suppress
sion by Fatty" and his assistant,
Buster Keaton; vigilant revenue
officers, brave and resourceful, bAt
with a weakness for handsome
women. The production has been
called "Moonshine," and in 1t
Fatty" has followed the broadcast
of burlesque with exaggerated
melodrama.
A picture which is notable for
the huge amount of that much
abused word punch" is William
Farnum's new production, Rough
and Ready" playing to capacity
houses at the Apollo.
Mr.. Farnum gives one of his
powerful impersonations of a
stout-hearted fighter in Rough
and Ready" He portrays the
character of Bill Stratton, who
has left the east and has cut loose
as he believes, from all of its as
sociations, because of bitter
memories. But in the snowbound
northwest, where he goes, events
force him to gather together the
threads of the past.
