Found NoUel Way to
Initiate NeuO DeGcons

Some years ago on the Sunday fol-
lowing the one when several new dea-
cons had been ordained in certain
church, the older deacons thought OF
way to initiate the new ones. After
seating the students from the Blind
institute, who frequently attend the
church, in the front pews, they handed
hymn books to the new deacons with
Instructions to give them to the peo-
pie without hymn books In the front
pews. The church aisle was long

the embarrassment that the new dea-
cons felt when, after the opening of
the service, they walked the full
length of the aisle and discovered
that the worshipers to whom they
handed the hymnals were blind

 Boxing history repeats itself in kaplan's case y having him tmvel the same road as his predecessor.

Dick German was sent into the game in this half and he played a splendid floor game and caged four nice baskets. Feldman also fooled the op- position by sending In three nice double counters. Abramowicz broke his record of two points last night by scoring four on two field goals. He had a chance for two more points but blew two free shots The second half was a pretty battle.

GUARDS TO MEET
 MERIDEN |NS|LC0S
Local Basketball Quintet Faces
 Strong Silver City Team

The National Guard basketball tearl will meet one of the strongest combinations of the year tomorrow night on the state armory floor when it faces the, Meriden Insilco quintet.
 The Insilcos have had only one defeat chalked up against them so far this season. this coming at the hands of Sam Pite's Collegians, an aggregation of stars which appears on the horizon as one Of the best teams in the state. The Meriden team is fortified with number of court men whose ability rates with the best in the state. Two former mem bers of the New Haven Atlas team will be seen in action in Evans and Hurwtz Evans is at forward and Hurwitz at center.
 During recent years. the Insilcos have not been in state competition, but at the start of this season. the team, by it's playing, gave warning to all that it was out to. cop the state championship this year. Dur ing the past week, the team has been winning by strong spurts in tn last few minutes and 1t will be in the best of form when 1t takes the floor against the locals tomor- row night.
 The Guards, after suffering de- feat at the hands of the Plainfleld team Wednesday night under pro- fessional rules. still stands at the head of the list in state court cir cles. The state championship of Connecticut is decided among teams who play amateur rules. The Plain field game does not count in the final analysis and until that team comes. here to play under amateur rules. no decision as 10 the suprem- acy of the outfits can be made.
 The locals have defeated the Bris- tol Endecs twice. once on Thanks giving Day and again on the Satur- day night following. The Bristol team won the undisputed right to the state championship last year but New Britain has all but put them out of the running this season.
 The locals will have their. full strength on the floor. Captain kil- duff and Johnny Sheehan will hawk around the back court with Sloman and Mert Taylor in the foreground. Red" Reynolds will form the pivot around which tbe team will play. In reserve will be Joe Jasper, speed merchants. Gerry Gierechowski for center and "Butsy" Sturm, all three basketball aces In their own right.
 The Meriden team will be well fortified. Evans and Teagle, of Meriden. will play forwards; Hur- witz will be at center; Wendell, for merly Of Cornell, and Mccarthy, the best in Meriden, will do guard duty. In reserve will be Druehl, Industrial league star of New Haven, who will alternate with Hurwitz at center.
 The Burritts will be seen in a pre- lininary which will start at s o'clock. The Guards will begin play about 9 o'clock and Dillon will ref cree both games. Dancing will fol- low.

Corbin quintet flashing it's usual fast passing game had little difficulty in outstripping the Stanley Works five
 Corbtn Screw Wins
 The Landers five started off fast in the game with the Corbin Screw outfit. Buchsri spalled In a field goal in the first 20 seconds and Aronson followed with two neat shots to bring his teams score to before the Screw Shop could find the basket. At the 3 minute and 20 second mark, Luty dropped fin a nice goal breaking the ice. Landers, however. was showing a world Of speed and kaminski and Darrow both counted to make 1t 10. Luty again scored but Bucheri rang up another and Landers appeared to be on Its way to win.
 facobowicz and "Hammyr Oar row got their heads together and the result was a pair of baskets Preisser made 1t 14 with a long shot and Vetrano made 1t nine with free try. Bucheri got free try for IS and Yacobowicz made 1t II with a pretty one handed toss. Aronson found the rim for IT while Luty scored with another to tie the score with less than five minutes to go.
 Nester added a point and Aronson copped two. Yacobowicz and Vet rano added points on free tries and Luty tied It up again with another from the foul stripe. Nester made 1t g but with only seconds to go, Yacobowicz and Zaleski made 1, 24. The halt ended with the Screw Shop leading 24 to p.
 It was nip and tuck all through the second half each team leading the other during the half by one point. Jacobowicz went wild near the latter part of the frame and scored seven baskets giving his team the edge that won the game He flashed through time and again and even though two guards tried to hold him, they failed. Bucheri and Billy Oar row put up a game fight but they couldn't keep up with the streak that the captain of the Corbin Screw team developed.
 Aronson did the best work for Landers with Preisser playing nice game at guard. The strong finish of the Screw shop team was the fea- turs of the evening. "Micky" Bucheri besides playing a nice floor game, shot five field goals, Yacobowicz was the shining star of the winners while Luty and Ham my Darrow aided materially In get ing the ball to him.

SHARP ATTACKS ON
 GRID FORMATIONS
Bill Ingram and Lou Little Now
 Opposing Haddle System

New York. Dec. R-Few foot ball campaigns have closed under a sharper attack on rules governing m odern formations than the cam, paign of 1926.
 To the growing list of complaints against the shift, effectiveness of which already has been chained by the Western Conference. the point after touchdown and the incomplete forward pass penalty, now has been added criticism of the huddle sys- tenn
 Two outstanding opponents of the group method of signalling are Bill Ingram. coach of this years unde- feated Navy eleven. and Lou Little. Georgetown mentor the former be- lieves that it throttles the presonal- ity and generalship of quarterbacks and is useless unless used to embody quick shifts.
 Little describes the huddle as drawback to the game" contend ing that it .alows up the contest.
 Opinion is general among coaches that the yard penalty for second and third incomplete aerials, during g. four-down series, adopted last year as an experiment has failed in it's purpose to curb indiscrimtnate passing.
 Tad Jones Is among leading coaches who favor a change in the rule covering the point after touch down. He contends that the present condition, under which the teams line up on the five yard line for the try. makes the play too easy. Since nearly all the teams are employing place or drop kicks. he would have the boot made from a point at least 20 yards from the goal posts. The kicker, under the present rule, 10 able to swing in the ball from point between the ten and fifteeh- yard stripes.
 still another movement is aimed at Increasing the value of the touch down alone from six to seven points, so that failure 10 make me subse- uucnt kick would make the tonch- down worth more than two goals from the field.
 Among less important rccommen- dations is one for officials whistles of greater penetration, Coaches contend that frequently the referees cease firing signals were not heard this year above the din of conflict.
 An outstanding instance develop cd In the Yale Harvard struggle, " hen a Yale substitute rushed on the field just as Harvard was about to snap tFe ball for Coady to punt. The referees whistle was not heard. and Coady was required to punt again. On his second attempt, Yale blocked the kick and scored touch down. resulting in much discussion at 10 whether the Harvard captains first boot should not have been all lowed.
