 try team. This will be the last
 no before graduation and the
 In which Captain Roger scully
 ! "Toots' Politis will be with the
 m.
 Captain scully Is very anxious to
 whack at the Seminary team,
 there is a secret he has been blding In for several seasons that ame out of him last night.
 In a moment of weakness he jbroke down and confessed to two ' witnesses at the Y. NJ. C. A. that In the St, Thomas game of a year ago, he dribbled three quarters of the length of the floor and tossed in a pretty two- pointer-but 1t was in the Saints basket.
 When he turned 10 the New Brit ain cheering. squad to get the cus- tomary applause, he was greeted with a deep and dignified silence. He then realized his mistake.
 The junior varsity team will play the St. Thomas Midgets in the pre- ltninary game. This will also be the last appearance of Captain Sammy" Netrano, and Streak" Bcngston.
 The New Haven Hillhouse trian- gular league games will be played on Lincoln's birthday in the New Britain gyQ nasiun. and on Wash- trgton's birthday in the Hillhouse gymnasium.
 George Mulligan of Waterbury Is getting the high toned razz from Hartford since the rumor got abroad in the highways that he plans to move his fight activities to the Capi- tai City. The Hartford fans and sporting public feel that the Atlas 4. C. composed of Messrs. Hugh Rorty and Gallivan are well able to supply them with fistic entertain- ment and they think that the Hart ford men deserve the chance to re- coup some of the losses suffered in previous shows.
 Not so long ago, a so-callcd inter- loper went to enter the sports field in Waterbury and George was the loudest in the Brass City in denounc- inc Ia oft te nf man to enter the charmed circle in the city among the hills.
 He looks at things differently now, however, and rides rough shod over the home towners in Hartford hy going in when Q fight club which ''ts been steadily working to the ,isfaction of the fans, is in full bloom.
 Mulligan took his football team to Hartford and because Hartford couldn't get q team together that could beat New Britain, he was wei comed with open arms. New Britain
 
 all except to be on the outside look ing in and become amused over the Nc iouJ arguments being expended in the case.
 New Britain respects both Rorty and Mulligan but it Is the consensus of All opinions that each should play in his own back yard. Taking it all into consideration, We begin to wonder what the matter is with Waterbury, That's where Mulligan made his fame, such as it is, and that's where he should spread his halo light. Red" Rorty might not have beer the best baseball umpire 10 ever have come to New Britain and he might have been off in referccing polo games at the East Main street armory in the palmy days, but he is on the square and is a straight dealer from any pack.
 New Britain people interested in the latest sensation in the pugilstic world, will watch the outcome of the present bout with interest.
 Tonight, the National Guards basketball team will get d long awaited opportunity of repaying compliment handed them in Mcri- den at the hands of the Meriden Endc"s. But the compliment was anything but pleasing as it was in the form of q drubbing in d basket nalI game.
 The EnieCs cCme here tonight tu play the second cume of the season gainst the Guards and as this is expected to be q whz bang of q Aihncn-wertcr all the way through, all the fans in the city added to the throng that will surge here from Mcriden. will be on hand to add to inc din that tn" game will create.
 ManaG ger Clarence l.anphcr stated play that the Passai" High school lam would be unable 10 como to %cW Britain this Saturday night owing to previous engagement Use" here. He has the assurance of tho Afw Jersey manager that h. will bo able to give him date with in the next two or three weeks.
 This game will be played under the professional rules and this will be new style of play for the New Britain fans. The High school team went through hundreds of games an undefeated combination and, when the New Britain High school team met them in New Jersey, the game was such a good one that the team has. wanted since then 10 come to this rity tg play,
