INTEREST IS HIGH
 IN T0DAY'S GAME
New Britain Meets Undeieatel
 HillhOuSe High Quintet

Interest in the game this after. noon at the Senior High school gym between tho New Britain High school and New Haven Hillhouse High school basketball teams is at a high pitch. since 1t was learned to- day that the New Haven team has not lost n game this year, while the Hardware City team has finished second in only ono game, the sea, sons opener against Weaver High school, The winner will take first place In the Triangular league.
 After a week of persistent cn. doavor, Coach Cassidy has finally struck the right combination which he expects 10 start against the Hill house quintet. He has decided to shift Acting Captain Mac" Me Grath from right forward 10 center He is the only player who could properly i'll "Toots' Politis' posi- ton. "Monjue" Zalcszi will stay at his left forward position where he is going great this year. and Ham my" Darrow will be shifted from the junior varsity where he was captain, 10 the regular right for ward position. "SoWkeY" SOWka the junior varsity guard will fill in at left guard, the place held by Cap tain Roger Scully before his grad nation in February. Red" Matulis will stay at the other position where
 he has been all season.
 This combination has been going great all this week. and optimism rcigns in the camp of the team fol- lowers. The addition of DarrOW and SoWka 10 the regular team assures everyone that there will be fight ing team on the floor. The lattor's only handicap is his weight. He Is a wonderful ball follower and fine team worker Darros is q brother of "Midge" Darrow, who played the same position on the team last year, Incidentally 'AIidFG' also made q regular forward position after inc mid-ycar graduation which took Be- | loin from the squad last year.
 The change of Captain DarroW and Sowka from the uniform of the junior varsity team leaves that com bination in a pretty bad way with only one of the original five on the team, Cherpack, who will probably take over the honors Of captain. Coach Cassidy and Manager sam ders will have yeoman work ahead of them to build up team that will continue the winning streak of q
 straight victories over a period of three years. It will seem unfortu- nate if with about three or four games left on the seasons slate the team will not be able 10 keep uD the
 good work until the end of this sea l son.
