 to Business

London, June 27 HD -- The rail- ways of Great Britain have sisnl- fled approval Of Il qucstionnalre is- sued ry the League of Nations, through the International Union of Railways, for the adoption of a year of thirteen 9S-day months, 1t was announced here recently, The alteration would involve fixed Easter, and an extra year day" would make up inc total ot S65 days Of the calendar, A leap day.

 Two projects for the alteration Of the calendar have been launched, according 10 League of Nations of- ncials here. In broad outline one provides for year Of thirteen 2S- day months. and the other for a year of four quarters. each quarter to contain two months of 30 days and one month of 5l days It would be some years before the scheme could matcrializc, i, was explained. as several nations have y"t to be canyassed and even should an agreement b2 reached the plan agreed upon would have to be ratl- fed by the various governments.
 The change proposed has been evolved from a movement here 10 make Easter a fixed date. and Lord pesborough, one of the promoters of the idea, announced not long ago that he intended in the near future to reintroduce his hlll to bring this about. his first efforts having been rejected in tho House of Lords in April 1921.
 Generally, it is stated, the Angli- can church is in favor of a fixed Easter, while the question has also been considered by a committed which includes presentatives of the Papaty. the Archbishop ot . Canterbury and the Ecumencial Patriarch,
 Officials believe that the whole matter is one which affects bust. nrss much more materially than thu churches, and railway directors contend that the suggested new calendar would simplify all railwa! arrangements considerably.
 Another question to be solved il connection with the calendar revi sion would be the finding of nam for the thirteenth month, to be ere atcd out of the last two weeks o June and the first two weeks 0 1 July

RED GRANGE STILL STAR
 EVEN WITH THE PROPS
But Finds That This Game Is the Hardest That He Ever
 Has Played.

Chicago, Nov, 27 R -- Harold Red" Grange's first game as a professional football player with the Chicago Bears against the Chi cago Cardinals yesterday was one of the hardest games he ever play ed.
 That was the impression after he made l00 yards in gains, thrilled 10000 spectators by returning punts up 10 thirty yards and re- ceived some s20,0o0 as his share Of the receipts. The game was q scoreless tie.
 Grange made the longest gain from formation for either side, six yards, and made ono of the first downs for his team. Joe Steinman, also q former University of Illinois player, made the other.
 Both teams were made up of former college stars, many of them former All-American selections. An effort to bring Johnny Layden, one of Notre Dame's -four horse men" of last year, into the Cardi- nal line failed because his father dissuaded him.
 c. c. Hyle. Kyfe's manager said the star had arranged to invest all his winnings over sl00 a week through friends in Wheaton and Champaign, Illinois.
 The former Illinois stars second appearance as a professional comes next week with Bears against the Columbus Tigers, when, advance ticket sales indicate, he may dupli- cate this earning feat of yesterday

NATIONAL GUARDS
 TO OPEN SEASON
PeXto A, C. Five Of Southinston
 to Face Local Quintet

Tho National Guards basketball team will open the i925-26 season tomorrow night at the State Armory on Arch street against the PeXto A. C. quintet of Southington. The game will start at o'clock and will be preceded by a preliminary contest between the National Guard Re- serves and the South Church teams.
 The local squad has been rounded into almost mid-season form through the practice sessions under the direction of Coach Dudack and when the five takes the floor tomor- row night, they should be able to flash their, best stuff to the visitors.
 Strong Opener
 The pcXto five is an exceptionally strong opener for the Hardware City quintet. On the valley squad are Ray Hartford former champion point getter of the Kacey league of few years back; Cushing and Eng land, former Lewis High school stars who have both appeared on | ANNN blltulll IOols III ] CtthI ythlS John Baelz, rated one of the best guards in the game in the state, But fer. well known here and several other hoop tossers who, as a con- ! bination, should make the local team step.
 The Southington team has been working out under the coaching of Martin Cavanaugh, himself veteran star of the court, and the team has about reached it's peak of form for the battle tomorrow night.
 Look Like Champions Coach Billy Dudack has rounded out what looks like championship quintet. With the veterans of the past few years showing their stuff as they did last year, the. National Guards give promise of being an un- | defeated five on the courts the com- ing season. Restelli has his eye on the basket again, while the Rev. holds brothers, two of the best court men this city knows, are towers Of strength on the team. Tedders Kil- duff is expected to be back at his old post at guard and Taylor has the same speed that he has shown in re- cent years.
 The reserve material of the team is as good as the first string men and that means that two full teams can be placed on the floor if neces- sary, one as good as the other. The game should be humdinger for the opening of the season and a large crowd of indoor fans Is expected to attend. Dancing will follow.
 Preliminary Game
 The South Church and National Guard Reserves will open their bas- ketball season tomorrow night at the State Armory when they face each other in the preliminary game to the National Guard-Pexto fray. The Reserves will present some new faces among the veterans and will line up about as follows: Richie Reynolds, Bill Darrow and Finkel- stein, forwards; Wally Knapp, cen- I ter, and Joe Kania and Abe Aron- son, guards. The South Church will take the floor with veteran team consisting of Al Havlick and Joel Adams, forwards: Cecil Cooley and Ted Vessels, center; Lister Kilduft, "K'' Parker, and Jack Wilks. guards The game which starts at o'clock promises to be hot affair.

RANGERS BEAT FALCONS FOR CITY CHAMPIONSHIP
Numerous Fumbles By Losers Give Reasons For De- feat-Good and Bad Football Displayed By Teams Slim Crowd Watches Thanksgiving Day Battle Losers By Mulf Lose Good Chance to Even Up the Score-Preliminary Game.

The Ranger A. c. football team stands today as the champion of tho semi professional class by virtue of well-earned victory over the Fal- con A. C. team yesterday afternoon at Memorial field in Willow Brook park, Good and bad football was demonstrated by both teams while some hashy work was displayed by both backfelds during the conteat.
 The story can be told when 1t Is said that the many fumbles by 'he Falcon backfeld at critical moments was more the cause Of their defeat han the punching power of the Hangers team which although su- perlor in some degrees, was unable ] 10 do much towards scoring points after the first touchdown was made.
 Captain Andy Sariski at halfback and Hap" Griswold at end and lat er at fullback, for the Rangers, fur nshed the thrills for the crowd which was none too large, while i. Dobbs and kiesky aided materially in gaining yardagc. Wcstman at 2 eu1, showed q knowledge Of the . game and q clcvorness in getting in on plays that caused the Falcon 2 backs no little worry. Thompson of tho Falcon eleven, supported by Slayer and Dunnigan did good work for the losers, but at times. their line gave miserable display of holding power and the consequence
 was that their plays were hurried md sometimes went awry.
