$25, 900 or $4,000, and Western Mary
land College also comes in for large
contribution to it's endowment fund.
The Rotary Club passed the fol-
lowing resolutions to his death:
Whereas: the keenest ambition of
Rotary is ever jealousy guarding the
individual expression of her high
principles in word, act and spirit and
with justitiable pride takes note of
that worthy exponent, whose life and
character eminently reveals in unset
fish service and general public inter
est, those qualities through which
Rotary would benefit mankind.
Therefore, be it resolved: that the
Rotary Club of Salisbury hereby tes-
titles to the sterling character, wide
and genuine interest, and helpful ser
vice of Oscar l.. Norris whose death
by accident, has robbed the club of a
man who had the esteem and conf
dcnce of the whole people.
Be it further resolved: that the Ro-
tary Club conveys to the family circle
it's tenderest sympathy in their be-
reavement, and that these resolutions
be Incorporated in the minutes of the
club.

LEAGUE

Once again the Industrial basket ball league is tied up in hard knot for the Corbin Cabinet Lock boys hung Q 49-92 defeat on the Landers. Frary and Clark youngsters last night, thereby taking their place at the top of the pile along with the P. and r. Corbin team. In the oth- CT game last night the Stanley Workers, after getting away to q fast start. did their old time "sloW- ing down" stunt and lost in the end 37 to 27.
 C. C. l.. VS. IandcrS
 The first game started off like a rough one and rough one it was. no less than A fouls being called and four players being sent to the showers via the four foul route. Each team had Y personal fouls and the Lockmakcrs lost three of their men, Nyborg, Yankaskas and Carrazza be- ing ejected while McCabe was sent out for the losers.
 The game had progressed but a minute and a half when Luke fouled Larson and then, within three min utes' time, six fouls had been called. However. none of the fouls called last night were of the deliberately vicious kind, but were due rather 10 hard play and very close guarding. Mickey Luke and BuChcrri played inc best for the Landcrs outfit while r"Darby" Carrazza was by far the ot- Ifensive star for Corbin. Darby toss cd in two in the first half but in the second he went on a scoring rampage and was going strong with six more 10 his credit when Hays sent him 10 the showers. Close be- hind him in scoring was Chief Lar son with five field goals, but the chief was at his best as defensive player. No guard on any local floor this season has given a better eX- hibition of guarding nor has broken iup more offensive teamwork than 1 did the chief last night. His play ing of the guard position as it should be played was certainly revelation
 Landers' boys were deplorably weak in their shooting for fouls and inc score might have been different had they made good on their free tries. They had total of 22 free shots and made good on but four Corbin was but a trife better. SCOT ing eight in 20 tries. The scores;

TOWNS ID INVADE
 THIS CITY FRIDAY
Business to Be Slapped in Elm
 wood and Southinston for Game

The basketball game 10 be played between the Pexto team of Southing- ton and the Emwood team at the state armory Friday night will be an epic contest, judging from the rival ry existing between the two squads. These two teams were tied for first place at the finish of the Pennington Valley league and a three game series was decided on with the result that each has won one and the third game is to be played this Friday night on neutral floor the state armory.
 The games have aroused the fans of both towns to fever heat, Friday night will find both teams rootcrs ready to back their champions to the limit. Business will be stopped completely in both Southington and EImwood Friday night because near. ly the entire population is going to attend the game. Trolleys buses, old trucks and even the old single and double buggics will be impressed into service to afford transportationt
 The game takes on New Britain atmosphere because Chief Larson, an old favorite is fighting old Father Time and has been putting Up one of the hest exhibitions of his career as guard with the Southington team. The other guard position on the PeXto team is well taken care of l hy Rnla Cill ie l. player in New Britain. He was one of the stars in the kacey league of a few years back and was rated as one of the best guards in the state.
 The forward positions find Hart. ford and Gushing circing around the floor. Hartford is again showing the way to all others in point scoring. He has led the Pennington NalIe, league in scoring and is rated as one of the best basketball players in the state. This is the second time he has shown his ability as a goal get ter because of his having led the kacey league two years ago. The center position on the team is well cared for by England, captain of the team. He is one of the tallest and rangiest centcrs in the game and has attracted statewide attention by his work on the floor.
 Opposite to Pextos, the Elmwuod team shapes up as strongly in every department. Bartin, who is well known to New Britain fans because he wass a member Of the Hartford Lyrics all season, will play the cen. ter position. Sipples and Bennett of the Hartford West Sides and Captain
 R. Barton will cover the forward DO sitions and Larson, Yates and Park CT will cavort in the back court re- gions.
 It is only natural that in game where there is so much rivalry be. tween the two teams that the only man in the state who could handI' , such a situation should be chosen a> the 1lth man on the floor. For this . reason, the two managers agreed or

YALE HAS BIGGEST CREW IN HISTORY
Hundreds of Candidates Trying
 for Place in Shell
By The Associated Press.


 New Haven, April 15.-Yale's row Ing season, beginning in earnest with tho Easter vacation, will have more undergraduates on the water than at any other time in the history Of the sport at the university.
 A fall given over 10 rudimentary training for the veterans of the previous spring rowing was followed by q winter of hard work on the tank machines In the university gymnasium sand such other physical exercises as make for development of an oarsman. As soon as the ice was off the lfarbor and also off the Housatonic river at Derby the call was issued for crew candidates. Hun drcds reported
 .Yale's schedule calls, for three re- gattas in which three will be official representation by one or more crews at Derby on May 16 when Cornell and Princeton will be in triangular battle with Yale; at the American Henley at Philadelphia on May 30. and at the annual classic in New London on June 10 with Harvard. There are many races for individual crews in the rowing fixtures while interclass competitions will require the greater part of the squad of men who will survive the early eIimina- tion processes.
 No coach at Yale ever before had so much material as comes into the hands of Ed Leader. He already has taken his three varsity eights, three 150-pound varsity eights, and his freshman squad, while no less than twelve eight6 have been boated for practice on New Haven harbor pre- paratory to the spring regatta. Scores of other budding oarsmen are working out in barges for enjoyment of the exercise or with an eye to possible development for next years squads.
 The senior oarsmcn are working daily on the Housatonic river at Derby, eight crews being accommo- dated at the Robert J. Cook boat house, the pick of the freshman can didates also being handled there by Coach George Murphy. The other candidates appear daily on New Haven harbor, using the boats which are kept in the Adce boathouse.
 Coach Leader has made many changes in the seating of the three varsity boats from which he will choose for the three regattas. Last season Leader had his first crew practically picked as soon as the river practice began but this spring only much experimenting can obtain his best combination. For the pres ent the first boat will be seated a: follows: Stroke, Lindlcy; Spook. Kingsbury, 6; Sweet, ,; Quarter, 1 Wilson ,tCapt.), 3; Prudhomme, ? Peterson, bow; Stoddard, COX. O this combination Lindley is the vet eran stroke, and Prudhomme one o the brilliant oarsmon of last spring
 In the second boat are: Ton Laughln, stroke; Wardwell, :: Hud son, G. Crosby, 5; Bunce, 4; w Clarke, 3; Callcndcr, ?; Kilborne bow. Bunce had been on the frs crew but gave way to more ex pcricnced man at this stage of crev development.
 In the third crew arc: Henry Cod man Potter, stroke; Robinson, ' Allen. 6; Whiteside, 5; Hicks, 4 Look, 3; Russell, ?; Mosle, bow.
