Undefcated since March 10, 1919, is the unusual record of the passaic tN. J.) High school basketball team.
 On that date passaic was beaten by the Preston tS. JD High school five by the score of 32 to 20.
 Since that time the wonder team from Passaic has won l39 eonsccn- tive games and captured n score or more championships.
 1t is rather interesting fact that the closest Passaic has come to be defeated in four seasons Of continued success was also at the hands of the same Preston five.
 In tournament play last March passaic defeated Preston in the semi finals by the very scant margin Of two points. 3G 10 S4. The reason for the closeness of the score was due to the fact that Passaic early piled mp q big lead and then withdrew the regu- lars to save them for the finals.
 New Team Every Year

RICHARD STILL IS TRYING FOR MATCH Not Ready to Admit Dempsey
 Has Turned Him Down

New York. March 13.-Despite in crcasing indications that the propos- cd return match in the Metropolitan n i district carly in June between Jack Dempsey and Tom Gibbons would be shelvod, TcN Rickard declared today he was still in the field for the match and would make a definite offer with in few days to Jack Kcarns, the champions manager.
 Faced with the statements of Dempsey and kearns that tho title- holders next bout and only 1924 bat tie probably would be against Luis Firpo in September Rickard rciter- ated that he is going ahead with the Dempsey-Gibbons plans. The promoi- CT already has obtained Gibbons con- sent 10 terms.
 kearns. however, while admitting that an attractive enough offer would influence him to alter his plans. ad- mitted that he does not expect Dcmp- sey to risk his crown again until around Labor Day. Contracts for motion picture work by Dempsey, which Kearns expects to sign in few days, would keep the champion busy until July 1, after which he would hs ready to start tsaining for title con test.
 "I had held out hopes for bouts with Gibbons, Harry Wills and firpo this season." said kcarns, but so far no responsible promoter has made me definite offer for any Of these lights. Rickard has made mo no offer for il Gibbons fight in June or any other time. Neither have We discussed n re- turn bout with Firpo. but right now that looks like the only definite thing likely to develop unless some new contender steps up."

MICHIGAN HOPES TO HAVE 4
 MEN ON THE OLYMPIC SQUAD

Ann Arbor, Mich. March 1S.-Four University of Michigan track and field stars stand out as most likely material for the |. s. Olympic team which will compete for world honors this summer. They are: Egbcrt ls- bell. distance runner; DeHart Hub bard. sensational broad jumper and hurdler; Howard Hoffman. javelin thrower, and James Brooker pole yaulter.
 Isbeil ranks as one of the best two -milers in the country. Last season he was practically invincible in his favorite event. In meet after meet he showed his heels to the op- position without much difficulty. Coach Farrell, of the Wolverines. considers Isbell the best distance runner Michigan has had since the days of Floyd Rowe.
 Hubbard is at present a junior at the university. He looms as the next worlds champion broad jumper. He has already done 25 feet 1 +

TRIO OF STAR ATHLETES WHO
 DEFY FATHER TIMES WALL0PS

Youth will be served" So at least runs the old adage. But up and down the sportiye list there are three chaps who offer ample proof that the an cient saw doesn't always hold the in side rail.
 Jack Britton, "Babe" Adams and Stanislaus Zbyszko are the three in question. For these three old men, have long since passed the milestone at which Old Father Time usually beckons celebrities of the world of sport to a permanent seat on the bench.
 Britton, at 40, held the welter- weight title. And though since de- throned. he's still far from through. lIe'has fought 'em all along a wide span of years.
 He has won a championship, lost it, and then won it back again.
 Adams, at 40, turned in a winning season for the Pirates in 1928. He
New Britain herald., 1924-03-13

was one of the mainstays of the Me Kechnie staff.
 His big asset-control--was still with him. It again carried him through triumphantly just as it has done for the past several seasons or since the old finger began to feel the strain of constant usage.
 Zbyszko. at 30, is still able to give a splendid exhibition on the mats. Re- gently ha extended the champion, Ed "Strangler'' Lewis, the limit to win. It was one of the toughest bouts the 'Strangler' has had in his long career.
 To this trio can well bc added the names of Cy Young and Bob l'itzsim- mons of days gone by. Cy and Bob both leaped beyond the fortieth mile stone ere they quit their sportive endeavors. But fellows of this type are by far the exception rather than the rule. They're unique, to say the least.

New Britain's Two Man Bowling

 There was a great crashing of pins at the Rogers alleys ast night, but the two man team from Hartford, Gaines and Fisher. crashed themselves and New Britain won the first of the inter- city series from Hartford's best, by a total of 6i pins. The Hardware City boys toppled i796 pins while their op- ponents tipped over 1T35. Anderson and Brisk, the local boys, gave a great exhibition. while that of the other two was hardly less good.
 Eddie Anderson was high individ- ual man with 11s.2. with Fisher next at ili.4. Frlsk stood i06.2 and Gaines mark was 1o5.S. The biggest feature was in the first game. At the last frame Hartford was behind 4i pins. yet Fisher knocked of a spare and then q strike. Gaines duplicated. Thus they picked mp S9 pins and dropped the game by but loner The next in the seo0 match will bc rolled at the Casino alleys in Hartford next Monday night. The scores last night:

inches, just 12 inches short of Gour- don's record breaking leap, estab- lished a few years ago. On one oc- casion Hubbard leaped through 25 feet 51s inches of space, but it was not allowed because he overstepped the talieoff a fraction of an inch or so.
 Hoffman, next to Angler, of Illi- nois, tops the list in the iavelin. And Hoffman. by the way. has even beaten the Sucker star. Angler. however. is more consistent than the Michigan der. Hoffman has tossed the stick over goo feet on several occasions. He is one Of the best bets Uncle Sam has in the event.
 Brooker. as 2 pole vanlter, belongs in the lS-foot class. He has made that mark several times. He is great performer. Consistency is one of his biggest assets. Day in and day out, Brooker always seems to be in winning form. Rrooker has few if any superiors in the vaulting event in the country at present.

TERM TIES YELLOW
 IS GREATLY ABUSED
Many an Athlete Is Falsely
 Branded by Fans
(By Billy f.vans)

Hes yellow" No expression is moro abused in
 the sport world.
 In all competitive sports the fellow
 who seems to quit under fire is brand
 ed as yellow
 In many cases the shoe fits the | individual but often athletes so i branded do not deserve the appclla-
 ton.
 No greater disgrace could possibly
 befall any athlete than to be labeled
 yellow. q quitter. He soon becomes ! a marked man, moro or less stunned by the rest of his profession. 1 Physical failure is readily forgiven,
 but lack of courage, never. Recently 1t was announced that Al Roich would shortly meet Luis Firpo in n bout 10 be staged in South Amer
 ica. Reich is one of the mysi cries Of
 the prize ring.
 Reich is q marvel Of physical de- yelopmcnt. Measuring over feet,
 weighing about 2lo, he is fast and clever and packs q. punch in either
 hands He looks tho part Of the cham pion, every inch.
 > Some years back Reich gave great promise. he was touted as one of the best bets in the crop Of hcavyweights fiourishing at that time. Reich never arrived.
 In the gymnasium Il wonder. Reich seemed to lose all his stuff the mo- ment his opponent began to punish him.
 It wasn't long before tho critics who had predicted big things for Reich in hstic circles withdrew their compli- meniary notices and said Reich should have been diver instead of fighter. so gracefully did he reach the floor.
 Lack of courage. inability to absorb
 punishment and light back no doubt kept Reich from reaching the cham pionship ciass. Certainly he has every other requisite.
 Thor, are. however. some athletes generally regarded as yellow who any | thing but deserve such q reputation In the fight game much Of tho suc- cess of the man in the ring depends on the way he is handled by manager and seconds.
 In baseball the diplomacy of the | manager is constantly being put to l the test in thc handling Of the different type athletes making up his club. Often poor handling of some star athlct" causes him to bc branded as yellow when, as q matter Of fact. the question Of courage had nothing to do with his faiurr to d'livcr.
 The sensitive. hieh-strune athlete is often tho typc to be branded as yellow simply l,ccausr he failed to deliver under a manager who kncw only one meth0d. tIc constant driving of his men.
 Rough tactics and toi1ssco language never get results with tho sensitive athlete. such a stst"m simply breaks his spirit. It causes him 10 be branded

The New Britain team will go into the game the favorite because Of their good rec ord all season. The chance of defeat ing Hartford have never been bright CT in several years.

 Much Of the credit of inc tcam's s success is due to Captain Ernest Ncipp. who has been jhc local 'nain- stay on inc team all season.
