THREE MORE GAMES
 FOR N. B. H. s. TEAM
Red and Gold to Play HillhOase,
 Gilbert and Hartford

Just three more games remain on
 the N, H, II, s, basketball schedule
 before the red and gold men hang uI
 their togs for the season Of lssa-sa
 On Friday New Haven. triangular lea-
 que rivals. VII invade the home of the
 red and gold team on Franklin Square
 to do their "darndest" 10 win. On the
 following Friday the Gilbert team will
 come here 10 ayenge the defeat hand cd them by the red and golders a short time ago The game that should
 take the Hardware City by storm as liar as interest is concerned is the ! coming game with Hartford two weeks from Friday at Hartford. The New Haven and N'insted games will be 1 played in tho afternoon while the Hartford game will be played in the ] evening.
 New B.itain In 4 slump.
 The Red and Gold Is now in the midst of oke of the worst slumps Of the season. but 1t has hopes Of get ting back into winning form at the expense of the Elm City team, With La liar and McCabe now in good physical condition their chances Of accomplishing this feat is much im- proved. Although the team was beat en by Crosby they played wonderful Basketball. Better than they did in many Of their other games. If they play against New Haven like they did against Waterbury an easy win is al- most certain to result. The Red and Gold played the Hillhouse team be- fore this season beating them after a hard battle on the Elm City floor Since then the Hardware City has prolted a great deal by the defeats fhey have been getting and they hope to use this to good advantage against the New Haven team. With weeks rest between games the team should be able to finish the season without any more defeats. Should they ac- complish this it will be the first time in number of years that the New Britain High school has been able to win the triangular championship with out a defeat. New Haven's victory over Hartford last week makes the triangular championship a certainty for the Red and Gold, an honor they deserve for their good work all sea- son.
 In Game All the Time.
 With the season pretty well over two players on the team have been establishing a splendid record which to date has not been broken. Acting Captain Jimmy Reynolds and Duke" McCabe have not missed a minute in the games played this sea son, and each has scored in every game played by the team. This is a record that will stand at the school | for some time to come should they | finish the season with their records as good as it is to date.

BEST ATHLETESAT
 INDOOR CARNIVAL
Over 300 Men, the Flower of the
 Middle West, to Compete

Urbaina. H.. Feb. 27. (By Associat- ed Press) s)-More than 500 athletes the flower of the middle-west. with a sprinkling from the south. east and west, will compete in the sixth annual indoor relay carnival of the Univer- sity of Illinois on next Saturday after noon.
 Established in 1917 by Harry L. Gill. Illinois veteran track coach, the carnival has become the largest in- door relay meet in the United States. This year the western Missouri Valley, Little Nineteen and other conference coaches will enter larger squads than ever.
 Michigan, Chicago, Wisconsin, Iowa. Minnesota, Ohio and Illinois are cer- tain to be represented and Purdue and Indiana may also send teams. Kansas Nebraska, Missouri and Drake will be included in the invaders from the Mis- souri valley. Iowa will send intact its mile team which won at the carnival last year and repeated at the Big Ten conference meet in Iowa City.
 Likely Victor.
 With the passing of the Illinois four mile squad, holders of the worlds record, Michigan springs into promi- hence as likely victor in the long race. Chicago. reputed to have the best runners it has boasted since 1918 when the Maroons won three relay races, is likely to figure largely in the university division. Wisconsin, despite loss of considerable squad by schol- astic deficiencies, will present a strong CT front than expected.
 Illinois probably will enter mile and four mile teams which will be com posed largely of new men.
 Greater Interest.
 Greater interest than ever is mani fested in the college races in which are already booked Michigan Aggies, two mile victors at Drake, Lombard. Bradley, Kalamazoo, Carleton, Coe, Institute, Knox, De Pauw with many more to hear from. Fart Fraz- Ter, Baylor university's crack hurdler, will come all the way from Texas to race over the barriers.
 Ten special events will be listed, the 75-yard dash, low and high hur- dies, high and broad jumps, pole vault, shot put, 300-yard, 1000-yard | and 1500-meter runs
 The three-year duel for all-around | honors between Harold Osborne of | Illinois and Brutus Hamilton of Mis- | souri ended last year when Osborne achieved his ambition by defeating | he Missouri star. With the passing ,f these star athletes, new men will be seen in the competition.
