Tor dribbled through for two more points giving the Guards the long lost lead 27 to 26. The game was a fierce battle at this stage there being thrill in every turn of the passes.
 Reynolds followed with another field goal but Botwinik broke away to get field basket keeping his team one point behind. Here started lthe brilliant rally that brought home the bacon for the Guards. With each man covered by blanket defense, New Britain started a passing game that has been seldom seen. Back and forth the ball sped, over heads, bounds on the floor and snappy drives all working in toward the goal. Sloman got loose and the bait was shot to him by Sheehan and in it went. The spectators were in tt frenzy.
 In bit of rough play, Pite fouled Reynolds and he made the try good. With the score g to 2S in favor of the locals, Taylor went to shoot. Rubinstcin cut across the floor and showed Taylor just as the ball left his hands. The shot went through and Taylor landed among the spec tators benches at the West end of the hall.
 Referee Dick Dillon ruled that the goal would count and Taylor was awarded a brace of free tries. He made both good and New Britn- had an eight point lead. This practi- cally decided the game. Pite whirled around the sideines and with a leap speared the ball through the hoop. Sloman was fouled and made the try good. AS the teams swung into action for the next play, the timers whistle blew and the Guards were winners 37 to 30. The score:-

50. CHURCH JUMPS
 INTO SECOND SEAT.
Two Close Battles Fought Out in.
 Inter-Church Court League
Inter-Church League

The South church assumed possess sion of second place and the Blue Army of third position in the Inter- Church league games Saturday night at the Y. M. C. A., after two battles which were so close from beginning to end that no team was able at any time to gain anything like a com- manding lead. The holding of posi- tions in the race were the plums for the winners, and all teams were trying their hardest to score victor ies, the result being a pair of excep- tionally keenly fought games.
 Blue Army 23, s,wcdes 21
 The Blue Army defeated the First Lutherans in bitter and rough game, 23-21, after a see-saw struggle for the lead. Both outfits missed easy shots at the start before Ar burr came in 10 ting a goal. The Blue Army kept the edge in the first half, leading six points at one stage. but the Lutherans came back as the period drew to a close and the score was l4-12, Bluebirds, at the rest per- iod.
 "Huggie" Carlson tied the score as the second session began and the Swedes found the basket freuuently. taking q six-point lead and hving the game apparently we'll in hand. But when the Blue Army appeared defeated Frank Arburr cut loose and with series of beautiful running shots from the center of the floor put his team on even terms and then In the van. In the last two minutes the Swedes tried desperately with long shots and struck the rim again and again. but the ball always fell outwards and the Bluebirds kept their lead.
 The game was rough one, 2S personal fouls being called by Ref cree Jack Tobin as the result of ex- cessive pumping and other use of the body. In the second half Hallin was given a free try but the play was ruled no shot when he took more than the allowed ten seconds; he lost his temper and kicked the ball out of Tobins hands, being sent from the floor for his display of fire works.
 Arburr was the star of the game, his long losses being uncannily ac- curate and his general floor work being pretty; te also kept his head better than most of the other play ers did. Huggie Carlson's shooting and Larson's losses from the foul line featured for the losers. The .l, n, y,,

7|LDEN CAMPAIGNS
 ID REGAIN TITLE
Former Tennis Champion to
 Battle in Eneny'S Territory

Philadelphia, Dec. 20 R>-Wil. liam T. Tilden has opened his cam- paign to regain the national tennis title he lost last summer to Rene Lacoste, the French star, and if he confines to play the sort of tennis that he flashed yesterday, Lacostc and the other net master of the old world and the new are in for some hard battles in 1927.
 Playing against Manuel Alonso, Spanish Davis cup ace, Tilden rose to superb heights to win the final match of the Penn Athletic club in door tournament in straight sets, G-1, 6-3, 6-4. Not since 1925 has the dethroned siX-times monarch of the courts displayed the dazzling, super tennis that he developed against the Spaniard.
 Alonso, fiery dashing performer was at the top of his game, but Big Bill won about as he pleased. When he needed a point he got it. With
 
 in the last set. Tilden rallied and by virtue of some of the finest tennis ever seen on indoor courts here, lit orally swept his opponent off his feet 10 win six straight games for the set and match.
 In running through those six games Tilden came to the net only once. He relied almost entirely on his back court play, darting to all parts of the court to return what ordinarily would have been place. ments, and return them with with tremendous pace and accuracy. Tilden' put tremendous strain on his knee that was injured last sum- mer, but the knee apparently did not trouble him in the slightest de- gree. His confidence was superb, his judgment perfect. his severity devastating and his accuracy almost uncanny.
 In his quest 10 regain the crown. Tilden will carry the battle into the country of the "enemy." He plans to sail for Europe late In January to play in winter events on the Ri viera. Later he will go after the world's championship at Wimbledon and the lesser titles abroad, and re- turn here for the supreme effort to rccapture the national singles cham pionship.

AMERICANS ID BE ON OXFORD CREW
United States Has Not Been Rep
 resented for Several Years

Oxford, England, Dec. 20 Rs- Three Americans are eligible this season for the Oxford varsity crew, on which the United States has not been represented since Keith Kane of Harvard rowed against Cambridge several years ago.
 The three are J. l.. Merrill, Rhodes scholar from California;; Il. T. kingsbury, captain of last years rndcfeated eight at Yale, and Charles r. Darlington, for two years a member of the Harvard varsity.
 Merrill and Kingsbury were l and respectively in the winning shell in the recent trial eight cared races in which crew "B" defeated crew AZ by a scant length. At no time did open water show between the two shells. and it was only by a magnificent sprint in ths last quarter mile that the "B's" gained their win ming margin Darlington rowcd at No. I for the AS"
 Merrill is the veteran of the American trio, as he is now in his third year at Oxford and has al ready rowed on the Christ church college crew, which won it's place at the head of the river in the inter- college races last year. Although lighter than the other two, his blade work is good and his swing easy and powerful.
 Darlington and Kingsbury are the two heaviest men on the squad, kingsbury tipping the scales at 193 pounds. and Darlington at 1S2. Both are in their first year, and are under the disadvantage of having to un- learn the American stroke and mas ter the new English stroke. How ever in view of their size and weight, both are looked upon as powerful candidates.

Chicago, Dec. 20 P)-Settlement out of court is in prospect in the suits brought against Jack Dempsey by his former manager, Jack kearns the latter said as he passed through here en route to California to spend the holidays.
 Counsel for the former partners in the heavyweight championship have begun negotiations toward an agreement on the terms of kearns' demands for q share of Dempsey's winnings until expiration of the managership contract. last August. It has been Kearns' contention that, since the Dempsey-Tunney battle was signed during his regime, he should share in Dempsoy's end of the purse, although the match took place after their partnership had ex- pired.
 The last court move in the pro- ceedings was a further postpone ment early this month and since then. Kearns said, the lawyers have been dickering on a settlement.

DELANEY TO MEET
 GORMAN TONIGHT
Light Heavyweight Champion is 2 to 1 FaYorite to Win Bout

Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 20 R- Jack Delaney, of Bridgeport, Conn.,, tonight rides to the heavyweight elimination wars with husky Bud German of Kenosha, Wis, as the first trial horse of his campaign.
 They meet in the feature melee of benefit show at the Jersey City armory for a Christmas fund under the prom otion of Hubert J. Fugazy. The canter will be over the ten round route with the verdict in the hands of newspapermen at the ring side, and Delaney rules to 1 favorite despite the fact that Cor man will have weight advantage of more than 20 pounds.
 While the fight marks Delaney's official enlistment in the heavy weight cause, his record shows pre- vious experience in the ring with heavier men. Prior to his lifting 10 the light heavyweight crown from Paul Bcrlenbach, Delaney tangled with King Solomon, Romero Rojas and Young Bob Fitzsimons, heavy weights. He won all three matches.
 German. ring campaigner of ten years experience. has never been knocked out. His record shows vic tories over Bob Lawson. 2 round knockout; over Carl Carter. 10 rounds; Harry Person, foul, 5 rounds; and Jack Sharkey, 10 rounds. He beat Sharkey a year ago, but in return fight lost to the same boxer on a foul in the open ing session.
 German shares with Gene Tunney the distinction of being one of the few remaining ring stars who boxed in Franco as members of the X. l.. F. fistic team. In those days Cor man and Tunney, were friendly enc mics. One day they met to settle the question of supremacy and after | stirring battle, German yielded t. the skill and brawn of the man who since has ascended to the heavy weight throne.
 The 10 round semi final will give Charley PhiD Rosenberg another tune up fight before he defends his bantamweight crown next month against Bushcy Graham Of Utica. N. Y. The title holder expects to play his fistic music on Pctey Mack, a local entry from the ranks of the featherweights.
 The other ten rounders will pre- cede this encounter, Andy Devodi, New ! ork, welterweight, sparring off against Jack Mcfarland. of Eli zabeth, N. J., and Johnny Green, New York featherweight, facing Giovanni Salerno, of Italy.

 The South Congregational church attred in brilliant new scarlet uni forms, took a whirlwind affair from quintets had alternated In scoring rallies, the final count being 36-29. Immediately after the first whistle Paul Braddon scored from mid floor. Mercy cut in for a basket, but Paul came back with another, continuing to keep the Methodists in the running with shot after shot from well out in the court. Parker finally put one in from distance and the South church crept into shaky lead which it managed to hold, Barta and Parker coming up the floor to keep the Congregationalists ahead by 16-13 at the half.
 In the second period the South church passing showed decided improvement, and Ted Vessels whipped into action with several neat losses, Mercy and Bell keeping up their work in the fore-court. Deming Hewett, after a scoreless first half, finally got away for bas- kets. while Alden Hewett sneaked under for a couple of stealthy suck or shots. The Methodists continual ly rallied to within striking distance only to see the South church start in again and draw away.
 There was no individual star on eight team; for the South church, each man scored at least six points and none more than nine, and the quintet was just that evenly balanced. while all of the Metho- dists also broke into the scoring. Paul Braddon's early long shots, Deming Hewctt's floor work, Verne Braddon's smearing of opponents passes, and the coordination of the winners were the notable features. Not only was the game fast. but 1t was exceptionally clean there being little personal contact and few fouls.
