 ards LaurelS

New York, Jan. 9.--Tommy OBrien, Milwaukee lightweight who is reported concerned about the title held by Benny Leonard, will meet the sturdy Jack Bernstein of New York tonight ill the feature clash of an cast ys. west evening at Madison Square Garden.
 In the semi-tinal Harold Smith of Chicago, an aspirant to bantam weight honors, clashes with Jack Snyder of Brooklyn.

cated by the defensive player. Fve-ALan Defense When the five-man defense is set,
 by dribbling literally to the sides be-
 between the center and forward, the player on the offense can drive these two front-rank men together and then, by rising on one foot and "hooking in" to the center of the five-man defense to man who comes from under the basket to the center of the set five-man defense to meet the ball, Is able to retain the ball clear inside of the f1ve-man defense.
 Another short pass to one of the teammates, who has camped mid way between the guard and forward along the sidelipe. will enable the ball to be worked. by clever passes, through the onrosing defense.
 Even though a shot could not be made from this position, this passing would serve to draw the five-man defense together and with the player who has received this pass "hooking out" to either the floor guard or center. shot could be made close enough to allow for hit; and should the ball miss the basket and take a rebound, the offense would have men placed in a strategic position close enough to the back board so that Team A. or the offensive team. would be In a position to score.
 There are passing lanes clearly de- fined, and without difficulty any player, with this thought in mind, can work out his own lanes.

PLAY LEAGUE GAME
 TOMORROW EVENING
Boys Club Reserves Headed for Mcridcn; Intermediates ys.
 Taggcrs Tonight.

The Boys club will seek revenge tomorrow night when they play a league game in Meriden at the Boys club there. The Silver City boys defeated the locals in the first contest of the league three weeks ago, but the New Britain boys were not in top form that night and are confident of reversing the decision tomorrow. The league schedule has been somewhat disrupted be- cause the scarlet fever epidemic there prevented that club from playing it's games, but now 1t is thought that these can be made up and the balance of the schedule played as originally planned.
 The Boys club Intermediates will take on the Taggers, a team from the Elihu Burritt junior high school, this evening on the club floor.
 On Monday night the club first team will stack up against what promises 10 be one of it's most for midabie opponents of the season, the Dixie Big Five of Waterbury. This team comes highly recom- mended by the HopeyilIe Juniors, who have twice defeated the local team in fast encounters, and a battle royal seXpected. The preliminary game will be between the club Re- serves and the Lewis high school seconds of Southington. The Re- serves recently walloped this team in Southington, but the losers chief defect was lack Of practice, which has been somewhat overcome now. Dancing will follow the games, music being furnished by the Boys club orchestra, led by James Beach.

Better Than Airplanes in
Fleet ManeuverS

Aboard U. S. S. Seattle, At Sea OF
Coast of Lower California, March II.
Submarines, not airplanes, saved
the United States from invasion in
the greatest naval maneuvers ever
staged in the Pacific.
With the American navy, 100 ships
of the line and their auxiliaries. d.
vided into two fleets, one an enemy,
attempting to establish base of OPP
erations on the Mexican coast, and
the other defending the great S-type
submarines, Uncle Sans newest and
most powerful undersea fighting
craft, dived into their first engage
ment on the side of the defense and
wrecked the invaders plans.
Subs Seek Out Enemy
The S-boats, tremendous under
water craft, 300 feet long with a
cruising radius of thousands of
miles, came from Panama with the
blue scouting fleet and last night
sought out the black enemy racing
through the moonlit sea to establish
hostile base of operations on Mex
lean seaboard.
The black fleet, backbone OF
giant dreadnaughts, protecting their
supply ships with q fringe of des-
troyers guarding its progress, wa:
near its goal. About nine O'Clock
the alarm was sounded, but too late
the submarines of the blue defend.
ers already had penetrated the black
destroyer line and the swift blue
scout cruisers, coming up in the real
of the black armada, completed the
rOut.
TOrpedoes Find Marks
Several black destroyers opened
fire on the S-boats, and one Of tn,
latter replied with three torpedoe!
that found their marks in the blacl
lire.
Then the destroyers of both clash
ed in the fight and a battle royal be
tween destroyers and submarines fol
lowed. While this battle was raging
the blue scout cruisers bore dowI

FIRST YEAR
ISG00D FOR
C0NC0RDIA
Have Made Good Standing
With Basketball Team
For the First Year

Moorhead, Mimi, Mar. 12.-While
Concordia college, of this city, :"does
not claim to have the best basketball
season in its history, it will rank
high with the best teams, due prin
cipally to the excellent team work
displayed with very few individual
stars" says a statement issued to-
day by coach, +. H. Watkins Of the
CUbbers.
Mentor Watkins believes the Con-
cerdians have furnished an interest
ing season in the Minnesota confer
ence during this, their first year, in
that loop. OF seven games played in
the conference four were won, and
two OF the foremost teams, Gustavus
and St. Olaf. The latter schools
team won by one field goal, scored
in an extra period on their own
floor, while Gustavus beat the Cob
bers by one point.
Out of the fifteen games, ten were
won, and Watkins declares that the
SouSOIulu 4uIHSSS AhCS WHY"
were at the heighth of their athletic
prowess when they bucked against
North Dakota agricultural college,
jamestown N. D. College and Gus
tavus Adolphus. The. Jimmies, who
had whirlwind squad this season,
bowed to the Cobbers in two games.
Captain HALEY Ostby and Ted
Kirkland are the only regulars to
graduate in June, but Stub Narveson
and Ted Anderson, two capable re-
serves, and letter men will be hand
ed diplomas, so that the reserve
f; force will have to be developed.
A good nucleus for quint next
season lies in Larry Lawrence guard,
Ed Doe. center, and Sally Brewster,
forward. A number of the young
sters have taken part in games this
year, and Coach Watkins expects
this experience under fire to be of
great benefit to them when next sea-
son rolls around. Most likely of
these candidates for berths next year
are Beuesing, Erickson, Thosen and
Donald Thompson, all freshmen ex-
cept Thorsen.
