 MEN DO GREAT
More Than 25 Operators Send
 Messages to Scotland

New York, Dec l6.--N Ny Associat- ed Press) More than 25 radio opera tors, working with short wave trans mission sets have sent messages from the United States to Scotland as a re suit of the competitive experimental test begun last week.
 This was announced here today by Prof. Alfred Goldsmith head of the radio and electrical branch of the College of the City of New Y ork. One of the successful contestants he added, was located in Cleveland and others in states bordering the Allan tic.
 The test, he added had aroused the keenest of interest among the more than 100000 amateur enthusiasts in this country and if British laws per mittcd amateurs of that country using 8 wave length similar to that permit ted here the boys would be talking to each other as they do now from state to state in this country.
 "Tho results show what efficient utilization of power will do' he add ed. "Alcssa Ees have been exchanged over the Atlantic for some time by government and commercial stations but the power they use, measured in technical terms, is about 10000 times as much as permitted the amateurs.
 Prof. Goldsmith compared the Snc- cess Of the amateurs with q foat whereby the rays from an ordinary iucandcscent light might he made visible to observers in scotland.
 "The power" he asserted. is ahout the same, the only difference being light rays are visible while the radio energy ia not.
 Among the amateurs who have re ceiycd acknoWledgcment that their message was received are Major F. II. Armstrong, E Y. Amy, John F. Grinan, Minton Cronkhitc, Walter Inman and George E. Burghardt of the ralio club of America who made joint test
 Tor this purpose they set up sta ton in Connecticut in the constrJc- ton of which nearby fire depart mcnt assisted in setting the poles and doing other necessary work. Tor three nights they worked sending over and over q certain number of worde and then came the cable announcing success.

ROCKVILLE K.C.S
 HERE TOMORROW
Team Has Lost Most Of Its Games
 by Small Scores

The league-leading New Britain Kaceys will stack up against the Rockville Kaceys at the Arch street armory tomorrow night. It will be the first time that these quintets have ever cashed. The Rockville team, while 1t is down pretty well in the race, has displayed some good basket ball in the games so far this season, being one of those aggregations to be usulaly defeated by a point or two. In a recent game against the Middle town kaceys, the upstaters were los CTS by two points, which shows that they have plenty of speed, In the lineup is Needham and Sheridan, who formerly starred with the Bigelow. Hartford, with Connors, Copeland and Haverty. These boys are having an- other great season.
 The great work of the locals has tended to increase the interest in To- cal basketball circles. The victory over Hartford last week was a par ticularly sweet one, in view of the fact that it was the first time the Capitol City quintet has lost league game since its formation in 1920.
 Locals Look Strong.
 The loss of Jack Heating, while it is to be regretted, has not weakened the team. The change has given the management an opportunity of using Steve Dudack in a forward postino. Dudack as a team worker is a big asset. The makeup of the quintet as composed last Saturday will probably remain intact during the season, and it looks good enough to be strong contender for championship laurels. There will be the usual preliminary game tomorrow night, with Dick Dill lon handling the referee reins, and at the close of the chief attraction, danc- ing will be held.
