A peculiar situation has arisen in Meriden over the signing of Haf- ner. leading back court star on the Dixie team of Hartford. The Meriden Endees, with whom Half ner appeared for the first time last Saturday night, will play the Dixies at the state armory in Mcriden Saturday night and thereby hangs the tale on which the dispute rests.
 Hafner is in a quandary as 10 which team he will play with. He has made his name as a member of the Dixie quintet and yet, since things have not been going well with the Hartford squad, Hafner signed with the Meriden crew on a provisional agreement that he would play at all times except when the Dixies arc playing.

During the first half of the game, the Rule shop team played rings around the Fafnir quintet and led at half time by score of 15 to 6. This lead was so great that the Fafnir crew had to extend itself to the ab- solute limit to pull the game out of the fire and retain it's standing in second place.

Curry has stated that the only reason he didn't sign up Hafner be- fore this time was because he did not want to appear as player snatcher. Hafner states that he would rather play with the En- dees than with the Diyies, but this leaves the question up in the air. It is a certain bet that Tredo will want Iiafner while Curry will want him just as bad.
New Britain herald., 1926-02-03

Whatever the decision will Do, basketball fandom can depend on it that Jack Curry, the guiding spirit of the Merlden five and Man ager Tredo of the Hartford crew will be able 10 agree on which team the star will play. Maybe he will play one-half with the Dixies and the other with the Endees.
