been skirting the ends all year, and
if he can be stopped, half the bat
lie is over.
Sam Jim" Gordon, son of Mr.. and
Mrs Nathan Gordon, the flashy lit
tie end, has been a shining light on
the defense all year. The account of
every game carried stories of the
wonderful defensive play Of New
Britains left end. He has proved
able on the offense when he nailed
passes. He is fast at getting down
on Matulis' punts and kickoffs. He Is
considered one of the best ends New
Britain has ever had.
Fred Zehrer, son of Mrs. Augusta
Zehrer, has been an able running
mate TO Gordon at end. He and Cor
don just fell short of first team
caliber last year, but have been i'm
proving all year. Freddie has used
his ability as a track man to good
advantage in getting down under
punts. 1t is up to him TO stop Dee
gan, who plays the opposite halfback
tomorrow.
A third end who has not been
playing regularly but who is consid-
cred on par with the regulars, is Joe
Vetrano, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Car
mine D. Netrano of West Main
street He is expected to hold up as
well as the regulars if he gets a
chance tomorrow.
The substitutes are Conley. Nevu-
lis, Grip, Landino, Devanzo, Havlick,
Sowka, Carlson, klaski, Bell, Pape,
Arzylowicz, Sorrow, Cherpack,
Scully, Ribicoff, and Croll.

with the other members of the team.
Jasper and Hoist got two field goal
and German one in this frame. The
Russwins failed to find the basket
on a great many shots and their in
clination to take long shots instead
of bringing in the ball, caused them
larger score than they had.
Both teams fought hard and the
guards especially worked against
the opposing forwards. The field
goals were kept TO a minimum and
the score at the end of the first
frame was 13 to IL in favor of Cor
bins.
In the second half, German was
switched to guard and Luke went
back to forward. This combination
showed more speed and better pass
work than the first and really gave
Corbins the edge The Russwins
worked hard this frame to get into
the lead, but their shots would not
so in. The breaks" were against
them while the Corbin team was
finding its shooting eye.
Joen Jasper and Hoist again led
the pack in dropping them in, Jas
per getting three and Hoist two in
this frame. Joe Luke for the Russ
wins played a whirlwind game in the
second frame but the Corbin team
rapidly edged away so that at the
end of the game, the score stood 35
to 90 in it's favor. The Russwins
ended the game with only four men.

House of Butler
Is Divided Over
Football Game

The Butler family OF Maple
Hill is divided against itself over
the annual clash of the New
Brltain-Hartford High school
football teams. Otis Butler, the
pater famiIias, and his daughter
Nina, are both graduates of the
New Britain High school and al
though residing within the circle
embraced by Hartford, they re-
main true TO their Alma Mater.
And their feelings remain so de-
spite the fact that a son of the
family. Marvin Butler, has been
member of the Hartford foot
ball squad, although he will not
be in the game tomorrow be-
cause of broken arm suffered in
the Weaver game. Mother But
Ter, naturally is on the side of
her son and thus we have father
and daughter cheering for New
Britain and mother and son
shouting for Hartford. Which
ever team wins tomorrow, the
losing Buffers will have a
hard time of it trying to live the
defeat down and it looks as if
the House OF Butler will be d.
vided for some time.

GUARDS IN shape
FOR Opening GAME.
Pextos Of Southington to Form
Strong Opposition Saturday

The National Guards basketball
ball team will open the season to-
morrow night at the state armory
on Arch street with the Peyto A. c.
quintet of Southington as the oppo-
sition. The game will start the local
team off on a season which is being
predicted as one of the hardest that
any local team has ever had.
The Southington team is showing
more strength now than it has since
the days when its court representa-
tives were up near the top in state
circles and the Guards will have
some stiff opposition from the
village five.
The Guards will go into the game
hammer and tongs" because of the
fact that the first meeting in the
five game series with the Bristol
New Departure team comes on
Thursday evening in Bristol and the
same two teams will battle it out on
the local floor Saturday night.
Reynolds will probably be placed
in the center position for the first
game and several different combna-
tons will be sent in to see which
works out the best. The locals have
a wealth Of material which should
give any team in the state a trim
ming. The morale of the New Brit
ain five this year seems to give the
impression that each man is out to
win the state title, if possible.
Taylor and Solmansky will
probably start at forwards with
Jasper held in reserve and Sheehan
and Kiduff will probably start in
the back court. Local fans will have
the opportunity Of seeing all the
players in action in the first game.
The Southington team has been
working out under the direction of
the veteran Martin Kavanaugh who
was an outstanding basketball star
a few years back and he promises
that the Guards will have to extend
themselves TO the limit to win. The
team is composed of a few of the
veterans of the teams of former
years and a number of High school
stars. It specializes in fast pass
work and good battle is predicted.
Preliminary game
The Burritts will play the prelim-
mary game against the Comets of
The Burritts are out to
better their last years record of 90
wins out of "a. They will have stiff
battle tomorrow night because the
Comets are still singing fro a de-
feat handed them by the locals last
year.
Two new faces will be seen with
the Burritts this year. AL Havlick
will be at forward and Freddie
Gennette, last year with the Nation
al Guard Reserves. will be at guard.
The first game will be started
promptly at o'clock.

NEWPORT GRIDDERS
TO BATTLE LOCALS
Torpedo Station Eleven Has
Powerful Offensive Attack

The All-New Britain football team
will have a real battle on its hands
Sunday with the Newport Torpedo
Station eleven and this should give
the players the necessary prepara-
ton for the first game of the series
with the Hartford Blues the follow
lowing week.
The locals will shoot the works"
Sunday with the heavy artillery in
the backfield that will be used in
the Hartford games. "Butsy" Sturm
will direct the eleven from the quar-
terback position and Captain Barni-
kow will fill his usual place at full
back. Eddie Collins, Thompson and
Hunt will do their stuff at the half
back positions and Coach Dave
Hayes has them all worked up to
a fever pitch for the Hartford series.
The Newport team boasts crack
outfit and has been coached by
Barchet, picked a few years ago by
Waher Camp as an All-American
quarterback and in all its games
this year the team has come out on
top with the exception of the defeat
suffered at the hands of the Holy
Cross team. When it is considered
that the Torpedomon lost to Holy
Cross by the small score of to 0
and Holy Cross is one of the unbeat-
en- elevens in the East this year. the
fans here may have an idea of the
strength of the team coming here
Sunday.
Manager Ed Daley is undecided
as yet about a game Thanksgiving.
He feels that there should be Il
game in this city but whether the
chance to be taken of having men
injured just before the first Hart
ford game is worth the game Thurs
day, is the question that has stop

League Standing

Despite the fact that the P. & f.
Corbin basketball team presents
seemingly weaker lineup than that
which won the championship of the
Industrial basketball league last
year the team came through last
night and took the measure of the
Russwins in the second game of the
evening. Benny Paris who was out
for most Of the season last year
with broken leg. injured the men,
Der again a week ago last Tuesday
and will be out of the game for at
last three weeks and probably for
tn remainder of the season. In the
first game, the Landers' quintet beat
the New Britain Machine Co. in a
loosely played contest.
Landers Wins First
The two teams started off at a
fast pace but neither could do much
scoring for time in the first half.
When the ice was broken, the Lam
ders team staged a squirt with Billy
Darrow and Mickey Bucheri finding
their shooting eyes. barrow got
away on several occasions for easy
sational long shots that brought
rounds of applause. Darrow Gagged
five field goals in this frame and
Bucheri four. Erny Anderson was
the only Newmatic to get more than
one double counter. He got two
and all the other members of the
team got one each.
In the second half. the entire
second Landers team swung into
action. Here the Newmatics started
to pick up, but even at that the
second team kept pace with them.
The score at the end OF the first half
had been % to IA and this breach
was widened by the Landers crew
shortly after the second frame be-
gan.
Billy Preisser was the scoring ace
of the seconds getting three pretty
field goals in this frame. Near the
last five minute mark, the regulars
went back into the game again and
after a rest. they started to go fast.
Darrow Gagged two more field goals
in this frame and Bucheri one Civ
ing them a good total for the night.
The Machine Co. was weak again
in this half especially so on foul
shots. The team didn't have the
coordination or password of the
first night, most of the players at
tempting long shots though a man
was open for an easy dribble and a
certain goal The final score was
As to 81 in favor Of Landers. The |

one during the season was the line
~ changed. At times during the
season it was found necessary to
start some of the substitutes at Nc
Grath's place at center when Mac"
was hurt for two weeks a month
ago. at guard when Erickson was
ineligible, and in the backtield when
Fengler was ineligible.
Scully who is expected to fill in
at center if McGrath is out Satur-
day has substituted for MCGrath
twice this season: Ribicoff substitute
ed for Erickson at guard and Lam
dino filed in the backfield when
Fengler was out.
New Britain's regular line would
average 17S pounds but with the
two substitutes in it would weigh
considerably less. Scully at center
in place of McGrath would not bring
about much of a change but if
Ribicoff is put into the line New
Britain would lose 1G pounds in
weight Bruce, the regular weighs
$50 while Ribicoff tips the scales at
1874. Conley another substitute
weighs 161 and IL. The only sub
stitution Coach George Cassidy
could make in this position and be
assured of a gain in weight is to
put Croll who weighs 1919 pounds in
at guard. Croll is first year man
and LACKS much experience. If one
position is open, Scully will get the
call. If two are open Scully will sbc
used in one and the other will be
a choice between Ribicotf, Devonzo
an Croll.
The team will be led into battle
by Captain Timothy Claire, son Of
Timothy Claire of Arch street, at
fullback. He is the oldest veteran
in point of service on the team and
for the past two years has been a
baCklield man. Last year he played
quarterback. He plays in that posi-
ton on the defense and has distin-
guished himself in his return OF
punts whore his proves as Drok-
en- field runner stands out.
John (Red) Matulis, son of John
Matulis of 292 Stanley street is
playing his first year on the Red
and Gold regular team. He was a
sensation as a substitute last year,
but was not quite ripe enough for
regular position.
He leads the team in scoring and
distinguishes himself as Il drop
kicker He and Al Fengl"r the
quarterback are triple threat men.
Both have kicked field goals and
have tossed passes that resulted in
scores. Matulis is captain of next
years baseball team and is guard on
the basketball quintet.
Marion ZaloSki. son of Mr.. and
Mrs Marion Zaleski of 80 Booth

tice with the result that he made

Announcement is expected that
Harold Bruce, regular guard on the
New Britain High school football
team will be started in the annual
game with Hartford tomorrow aft
ernoon. The injury to his knee,
suffered in the game with Weaver
High school Saturday, is coming
along rapidly and it is practically
certain that he will play. There
is possibility that Frank Nc
Grath, the center, who was injured
in practice this week might be
ready for the game although his
chances are not very bright.
With the return to the lineup of
those two stars, the chances of vic
tory will again be big. McGrath's
injury is quite severe and it is eX-
pected that if he plays it will be
against the wishes of DR.. Frank
Zwick, the team physician.
The team to face Hartford is the
same team that started and played
throughout the entire season. Only

HIRAM JOHNSON
MAY NOT STOP
M'CAMANT JOB
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)


WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Senator
Johnson, republican, California, lost
another skirmish tonight in his fight
to prevent senate confirmation of
the appointment of Wallace Mecca
mant of Oregon, to the ninth federal
circuit court bench.
Seeking to force consideration of
the nomination in "open executive
session" instead of behind closed
doors, Senator Johnson lost out on
two close votes. The. nomination
then went over until next week,
when the California senator will
continue his opposition.
The fight which Johnson is con-
ducting is an outgrowth of the
1920 Chicago. convention, at which
Judge McCamant nominated Presi-
dent Coolidge for the vice presidency.
The judge was a delegate from his
home state, and Senator Johnson
claims that although instructed to
vote for him for the presidential
nomination., the judge violated that
pledge.

,Phaw who early today tried to kill
herself by swallowing poison, to-
a hospital here, although still in o
serious condition.
Doctors. who at first believed her
suicide attempt would prove fatal,

because she had been drinking al
cohol, which is an antidote for the
poison she took.
The divorced wife of Harry X
Thaw and who several years ago
had tried suicide, offered little ex-
PLANTATION of her act, except that
she did not want to live and was
tired. She had been filling an en-
gagement as a cabaret entertainer
here and was scheduled to leave to-
day for Florida to fill a similar en-
gagement
Mrs. rhaws Is year old son, Rus

His prompt ,action,~ doctors said,
helped her chances for recovery.
Dr. Brand, her physician, said that
Mrs. Thaw had not attempted suicide
because of financial difficulties, how
ever. Her condition late tonight was
reported as satisfactory, although
she was not out of danger.
