TRADE SCHOOL IN
 RED HOT CONTEST
Lose lS-iO to NausatuCk--P
 Portland High Thursday

In an exciting game which was in doubt until the last whistle blew tho New Britain Trade school basketball team lost it's opening contest 10 the Naugatuck High school alumni The boys from the Rubber city presented n fast aggregation, three Of whom opposed the famous Passaic N. J. team last season. The local lads work cd hard every minute but were forced 10 take the short end Of the i3 -l0 score. The locals made very good showing considering it was the first game Of the season and most Of the men were green. Of last years squad there is only one regular and one sub- stitute on hand for this season. In- ability to drop the ball through the net caused the downfall of the traders, as many times neat passwork brought the ball the length of the floor. New Britain scored first when Capt. An derson sank one from the l 5 foot line. Naugatuck soon went into the lead and at half time was ahead 7-4. With d changed lineup New Britain came back strong and the score was all at the end of the third quarter. The last quarter was played at top speed with the Rubber city boys emerging victorious, Capt. Sullivan and Lock wood excrlled for the NauEatuck team while Capt Anderson. Baker and Mil- Ter were strong for the Trade school. Andeen and Nelson. playing their first game of basketball gave promise or developing into a pair Of first class guards.

An-New Britain Wins Again And
 Eagles Take First In City. League
Southington Kaceys, With Sheehan in Lineup, Go Down to Defeat by Score of 49-25.

The All New Britain basnetball team continued on its way to the state basketball championship by taking the Southington kaceys into camp. 1925, at the state armory Sat- urday night. The visitors except for occasional flashes were not in . class with the local team, who outplayed them in every department of the game.
 At the offset the All New Britain team jumped into the lead with Tay- Tor and Babcock being the main scorers, the towheaded boy from Branford exhibiting real class and, although guarded by the clever ''Snowshoe" sheehan, dropped them in from every position and played an important part in the passwork of the team.
 Captain Babcock at right forward played whale Of game on the de- fensive but failed to shine on the of- iensive, encountering great deal of hard luck in his shooting, trimming the basket time and again during the first half.
 The visitors spurted near the close Of the first half and for brief Der iod outplayed the home boys, but the period ending 27-l7 in favor of the All New Britains.
 In the second half Pelletier replaced hilldun and immediately dropped a goal from the floor. and the All New Britains then swung into action and rapidly pulled away from the Kaceys. Chuck Wojak played a fine game against the veteran Flynn, holding him to single floor basket, while he was sinking tour, Chuck" has more than pleased his most royal rooters with the manner in which he has been holding down the pivot position for the local team.
 With the start Of the second period, Taylor continued tossing them in from all positions and his ability to throw them in with a back hand motion ac- counted for number of New Brit aims points.
 Chief" Larson played his usual good game and was the main scorer from the foul line.
 For the visitors the shining lights were Hartford at right forward and "Snowshoe" Sheohan at right guard. Sheehan was the goods for the ka- ceys. Lineup

YALE WILL MAKE NO
 CHANGES AT BOWL
Blue Grinders Probably in for.
 Football Reforms

New Haven. Dec. l7.--Yale has just taken another stand against athletic expansion in decision not to enlarge the Bowl extensively. Charles Ferry, engineer who designed the Bowl. an- nounced that he could easily increase the seating capacity to i25.00 by the addition Of upper stories. The univer- sity officials deny that such plans will be consider They state that Yale has no intention of adding seats in a wholesale way, because it is not for the best interest of college athletics.
 Yale's football policy will be dis Cussed next month in conferences be- tween Winslow Meston Lovejoy, cap tain of the Eli team for next season and the athletic board of control. the faculty and prominent alumni.
 Members of Yale's general ath- letic committee, alumni association and the faculty feel that the re- forms begun year ago by Presidents Hibben of Princeton, Lowell of Har- ward and Angel Of Yale should be eX- tended before plans for another foot ball season assume definite shape. Working those out will bc begun be- fore the Yale coaching regime for next season is announced.
 May Cut schedule
 Cutting down the schedule by two games, ordering the football squad to report weeks later than usual and making it impossible for players from other universities to come to Harvard. Il,.t,, he after 1923 is the future policy agreed upon by the three universities.
 Questions which are forcing them selves for solution upon the athletic bodies include the limiting Of the number Of the resident coaches. the salaries which are 10 be paid coaches. the extent Of the scouting system Ii the presence Of coaches on the foot ball sidelines
 Discussion Of these topics has be- come acute. Yale football drew be- tween 100000 and 500,000 persons last season. and there is general feeling that the sport should be con- served, that the eleVcns should be coached by former players of the highest type Of character and ability, not necessarily Yale alumni, but that some curtailmcnt in the present coaching scheme should be put into effect.
 Coaches Ane,ted
 A strong sentiment has been de- !. vcloped among Yale alumni and ! faculty against allowing any athletic | coaches to sit with the players during the contests, This has gone into effect in baseball, and the matter will be | taken up in connection with Yaie's i football policy for next year. Yale | may ask the football rules committee | to remove an coaches except one rom the sidelina seats during future games. i It is barely possible that rule will be | favored leaving the matter Of sub l stitutions wholly in the hands of the captain and the athletic trainer

Recently Organized Inde- pendents No Match in Opener for Speedy Boys Club Outfit.

The newly organized amateur city league got away to good start at the armory Saturday night. with the Boys club Eagles taking the opener from the Independents 27-15. The first half was nip and tuck, with the score 9 all when the whistle blew. In the second half however. the more practiced Eagles piled up point after point until they were leading 27-15 at the end. Both teams played a good brand of ball, but were rather careless about personal fouls. l.. Schmitt, the ace of the Independents. was ordered from the floor early in the game after four had been called, and not long after wards J. Swanson of the Eagles was banished to the sidelines by Referee Hayes who caught him sneaking in some unnecessary roughness. In the second half A. Swanson of the Eagles was taken from the game when he had four fouls called.
 l.. Schmitt, before leaving, hooked in a couple of pretty field goals and Morelli, who eXcelled for the losers, also hooked in a couple as well as four from the foul line. Jaspar likewise broke into the scoring column. "Bosh" Schmitt, captain of the Independents, was forced to retire after a few min utes Of play when he fell and injured his knee.
 The Eagles showed finished team work in the second period and despite their changed lineup gave evidence of being the better team that evening. Anderson shot in five goals from the floor and Hoist likewise contributed. Ii the Mohawks and Rangers put teams into the league that average up with the two who played Saturday night an interesting league may be assured, for they will be evenly matched and the boys will be out for the sport, Saturday nights summary: Independents.
