SOUTH CHURCH RESERVES
 OUTSHOOT FIRST TEAM
Two Teams Engage in Rough and Tumble Shooting Bee Result
 ing in Youngsters Win.

The south Church Reserves turned giant-Eiilers last night and slew the South church first team, 50-46, in Q wild orgy of shooting. Defensive play was forgotten as the two church teams scrambled for supremacy. and both quintets pep pered the baskets with shot after shot. Good basketball was mostly noticeable by it's absence, and the teams raced back and forth along the Boys club floor in succession of wild dash"s. -Four referees were used up during the progress Of tho game, and one fist fight and 6 kicking bee broke out 10 add to the general confusion.
 The game was close all the way, the Reserves getting the jump at first and holding their advantage until just before the half closed, when the first team crashed through into a "@-@0 lead. First one team and then the other assumed the lead in the final half, but with four minutes left the Reserves went ahead and stayed there.
 "John" Mercy was the main Jack the giant-kiiler," rolling up Y points. while Bell collaborated with him 10 d nicety getting 16 points and displaying q neat pass- ing game. Ted Vessels work at center and in forcing the play was a feature. The Reserves were without the services of May. but Kilduff of the first team, played with them and rendered great aid. Wilks did well as defensive guard. HavlicIi, Adams and Cooley led the attack of the first team. Both teams turned in plenty of spectacu- lar shots. The first team showed 1t was burned out by its listless team play, while the Reserves took mo- ticc Of this and played a driving game which carried them to vic- tory. Tue summary:

Pictured above Is the New Brit ain High school basketball team for the lq25-1926 seasou, which may justly be termed the champions of the state of Connecticut for this season hy virtue Of their wonderful record in games played.
 Coach George N. Cassidy with the aid of General Manager William logan arranged a hard schedule of games with some of the leading teams in the state. Of the F scheduled, his protegcs were sue Gessful in 1Q contests which Is quite a boust to Gas" since he started the season with only one veteran regular from last years team, Frank McGrath, q guard.
 Two games counted on the wrong side of the ledger. One Was the opening game with the Weaver High school in Hartford. The team had inlo chance to organize and went into the game lacking confidence and experience. The final score was 17 to II. Though beaten the hoys were greatly encouraged since they were up against team that had it's first seven regulars back from last year. They wont on d winning streak for the rest Of tlhe season which was broken only by a JOSS to south Manchester,
 Before the season started and after the mtd-ycar graduation, fol- lowers of inc team were gloomy over it's chances, At the start Of the season the Rod and Gold mentor was obliged 10 depend on McCtfath. rolitis and ScNiy all guards. The ,att.r played dt center on the team ,ao year before but was really q guard because of his defensive ability. Poliiis WAS shifted to cen tor. McGrath 10 forward and Cap tain Scully to guard.
 Coach Cassidy announced a new plan ill maku% up his team this Year. Instead Of drilling the men for several weeks and lhcn cutting the Suuud. the coach formed the entire squad into teams and kcpt each team intact for 'hc year, This , system not only worked well for jnis year but also will hrlp in form ing the squad next year. He now has practically three full teams tC work with next year. The lirsl toQm. the iumor varsity and the team which sometimes plays aS the EmvrJld6 with the exception of { few men lost through graduation will h" ready for the call ucXt year

All right. Don't take my word'
for 1t.
But listen to DIR. Ales HrdlIcka,
who last night addressed the Art
and Archaeology League at the
National Museum. He is authority
for the statement.
DR.. Hrdlicka, anthropoIogist for
the National Museum, says that
just after the World War he met q
man, a naturalist, in Siberia, who
had dined on a portion of roast
mammoth. This prehistoric animal
had been dead for a little matter
of two thousand years and in that
expanse of time lay securely and
solidly frozen in a bank Of the
Volga River.
One day the naturalist heard a
great hue and cry from the half.
starved dogs that infested little
village near the river. Investigat.
ing he found them gouging, gorg-
ing themselves on a huge carcas.
After two thousand years the rivec
bank suddenly had given way and
exposed to view and taste the B. G.
mammal. Natives and dogs wild
for the flavor and substance Of
"fresh" meat, ate it without the
ceremony of cooking.
AND just TO snow what sort or
sport he was, the naturalist roasted
"steak" and dined from it. "A bit
flat" he says, but tasting not un.
like veal" Another portion OF it,
picked in alcohol. is on exhibition
at the National Museum The
gentleman scientist who did the
picking says that after the journey
to America the odor assembled far
beyond the highest altitude reached
by our intrepid airmen.
Those who have any doubts about
refrigerated meats and refrigera-
ton in general-well, anyhow, re-.
frigerating concerns are warned
against using this article as adver-
Using matter.
