What should be the basketball
classic OF the season will be staged
az the State Armory on Arch street
tonight when the team of the Hart.
ford High school viii play the New
Britain High school team. For years
these two teams have been rivals
and almost every time they have
played a fervid game has resulted.
Last year the Capital City team de-
feated New Britain twice so the Red
and Gold will go into the game de-
termined 20 even up.
New Britain will place Its hope In
the team that has been bringing
honor TO the school all season. II
cannot be said of the Hardware City
outfit that II Is one-man team or
even a two-man team. Every man
is dangerous in all-around play. Any
one of them can. score II he can get
within fair distance of the goal.
They all can pass, shoot. dribble.

them. They all have fight and have
acquired a great deal of experience
since the season opened. Their only
weakness was in the foul shooting
department but lately La Har, who
does the bulk of foul shooting for the
team. has been recovering his old
time fern.
Team Work Does II.
In every game played SO far, in
dividual playing gave way to team
work. The team has shown wonder
full pass work all season. The teams
offense has bucked up against some
of the strongest defensive combina-
tons in the state. 1t may have
taken some time but they have al
ways succeeded in battering down,
their opponents defense before the
game was over. Then, some of the
fastest teams in the state have been
baffled by the defensive ability of
the red and gold guards. Players
supposed to be wizards have proven
putty in the hands of the New Brit
ain guards.
There are no two players in the
city who play better together than
"Bennie" La Har and RED" Reyn- |
olds, the speedy forwards. Time and
again they have baffled the opposing |
guards by their assortment of |
tricks"
Weir and Neipp, the speedy guards,
have developed defense that should
keep the Hartford score down while
heir team mates are staging an at
Jack on the Hartford defense.
The Capital City team is also 60

Replies to MOdernists

New York, Dec. 10.-Verbal gun
fire subsidized today in the theological
battle being waged in New York
between Modernists and Fundamen-
talists of various faiths.
The broadside of statements which
for the last few days has marked
the controversy in the Protestant
Episcopal church, centering on the
threatened heresy trial of Rev. Lee
w. Heaton of Fort Worth, Texas,
suddenly ceased.
Practically the only contribution
to the discussion came from Rev.
DR.. Stuart L. Tyson, vice president
OF the Modern Churchman'S Union.

clared that the next move was I'D
to the lTundamentalists and that the
Modernists were in the same posi-
ton as Belgium in 1914-wanting
peace, but peace with honor.
The next move to which atten-
ton was called by DIR. Tvs was
not forthcoming from the Funda-
mentalists, who added nothing to
the statement by Rev. DIR. William
M. Gilbert of YOnkers, member of
the standing committee of the New
York diocese and a close friend of
Bishop William r. Manning, that
the bishop did not have sufficient
grounds for charging DIR. Leighton
Parks Of st. Bartholomew's with
heresy because of his utterances
last Sunday in suppogt of Mr. Heat
on. According TO DIR. Gilbert, Dr.
Parks had not denied tho doctrine
of the Virgin Birth. but merely had
declared it unessential.
Episcopal laymen, referring to
the strict silence maintained by
Bishop Manning, expressed belief
that if the bishop took any cogniz-
ance of DR.. Parks challenge to try
him instead of Mr.. Heatop, this
would be done in his Christmas SER
mon.
Other Episcopalian clergymen
who remained silent today after
their former outspokenness were be-
lieved in many instances to be saw
ing their powder for use in the pull
pit next Sunday.
Tonight the only immediate de-
ve1opment in the Modernist- Funda-

right.
Both the federal and the De La

maneuvers east of the capital in the
region of San Marcos. Nothing has
come through to clear up the report
of one of the ezra Cruz correspond

tor that attempts were being made
to arrange an armistice preceding
efforts to bring about cessation of
hostilities.
To the west of the capital, i'm the
state of Jalisco, the federal forces
are declared in official advices to be
advancing against the rebels. The
report asserts that a decisive battle
between the federal troops and Gen.

imminent /.
