Hartley legislative leader. Reed is
the spokesman and floor leader

The National Guard basketball team. flashing almost mid-seasor form in the first game of the sea- son Saturday night at the State ar mory. swamped the PeXto A. C. five of Southington 5S to 22 The locals outnlayed and outshot the visitors although the Southington team appears 10 be the fastest that has represented the town in some years on the basketball court. l Several combinations we're used | by the guards and every man on the squad was given the opportunity of l playing. Taylor and Sloman started 1 at forward with Reynolds in center l and kilduff and Sheehan at guard. It was only matter of seconds be- fore Kilduff dropped in the first | field goal starting the locals on the road to victory. After that it was just case of how large the score would be in favor of New Britain.
 The Guards displayed speed that could not be matched by the visitors although ordinarily the Southington five would put . up q good battle against any team. Kil- duff and sheehan were everywhere in the back court stopping shots and for minutes at time. the Pcx- tos could not get in for short shot and they were not caging many long ones.
 Sloman the new face in New Britain's lineup will be heard from plenty this year. Right now he rates with the cleverost men ever | seen in these parts on a basketball 1 team and if that is his form in the first of the season. he should com pare with anything in the state for floor work and shooting. Most of his baskets, and he caged seven, were made clean. In New York state there are no backboards and S'oman didn't need any at the State armory Saturday night. Taylor flashed all his old time speed while "Red' Reynolds jumped nice in cen- feE played hashy floor game though he had tough luck on his shots.
 Gicrochowski has lost all of the self consciousness he had last year and showed speed and class in playing the pivot position. Joe Jasper works just as good with the Guards as he does with any team and his pass work is marvel on the floor. "Butsy" S1rum fills in at guard to perfection and all in all, the Guarde look good for busy season in search for the state title.
 For the visitors, Meade and Cush- ing did good work at forwards while tho rest of the team played well.

COACHES AGAINST
 FORWARD PENALTY
Western Conference Mentors
 Divided on Suit Play

Chicago. Nov. 22 R-A mAjorit, of the Western Conference coaches today expressed vigorous dissent witt the new football rule in effect thi. year, intlicting fve-yard penalties fol successive incompleted forward pass es after the first try.
 The seasons experience with the restriction has convinced most of them. they said. that it had failed to achieve the rules committees ob- ject of cutting down indlscriminate passes.
 The suggestion that the shift play be abolished. however. found opin- ion about evenly divided, and one coach. Wilce of Ohio. iS q vigorous advocate of the abolishment of the point kick after touchdown. Ohio lost it's chance for tie with Michigan this year through one point defeat, but won from Illinois to take second place by this same one point.
 Coaches Stagg of Chicago, q mem- ber of the rules committee, and Wilce, are the only supporters of the new forward pass penalty rule.
 T believe the rule is a distinct success" said Coach Stagg. "The penalties are almost nothing and yet 1t tends to hold the game to actual football. In regard to the shift, I haven't the slightest doubt that that maneuver adds color to football. but whether the shift infringes on the present style of play is matter to be decided. in my opinion, by the game officials rather than by the coaches of the rules committee"
 Coach Wilce hopes to see the point kick after touchdown abolished as "a matter of natural evolution" he said.
 The pass penalty has added much to the game and the restrictions on shifts are not sufficiently stringent.
 "The new forward pass penalty is an encumbrance on the game,"' said Coach Bob Zupplie of Illinois, and many of the Big Ten coaches concur. "1t is utterly useless. AS for the shift, the new restrictions have not worked out successfully. If the rule should be changed 10 make the backfeld halt two seconds, the officials would have something definite upon which to base their decisions"
 Coaches YoSt of Michigan and Spears Of Minnesota agree with Zuppke that the pass penalty Is use lees. but they differ with each other on the shift. Yost said he believed most of the leading teams had the shift play.

BLUES ARE BEATEN BY BRISTOL ELEVEN
Penalty on New Britain Team
 PaVs Way for Only Score .

The New Britain Blues met de- feat by the score of 6 to at the hands of the Bristol West Ends in that city yesterday afternoon. The game was not of the spectacular kind. most of the plays being aimed al the line with very little kicking or passing.
 The West Ends received a break at the start of the second quarter that gave them the game when with the ball on New Britain's nine yard line, third down and eight yards to go, the locals were penalized seven yards because a substitute was caught talking be- fore a play was made. This gave the Bristol team first down on the one yard line and on the next plays they went over. It took the West Ends three plunges to score.
 The remainder of the game was a nip and tuck affair. neither eleven being able to gain any decided ad- vantage. Milo Argosy, playing his first game of the season, starred in the backfield. He made two first downs with hardly any aid.
 The Blues came out of the game with a hard blow to the team. Andy Sarisky suffered a torn lisament in his leg In the second quarter and he will be lost to the team for the rest of the season. The Blues will practice Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock in the club rooms.

GOOD CATCHERS SCARCE
The Supply of Good Bac.istops for the Major Leagues Seems Ex- hauStcd.
By NEA Service

New York, Nov. 16. A dearth of catchers has struck the major leagues The supply of stars at that position is in no way in keeping with the demand.
 During the past season all the big league scouts were given instructions to pay particular attention 10 prom ising catchers, However, only a very lmited number. of bush league back stops were considered good enough to warrant a trial.
 Two veterans, Ray Schalk and Muddy Ruel, are still the most vaiu- able catchers in the American League.

VISITS WAR ORPHANS
Attorney George B. Thayer God
 Father In Eleven Fsmilie.

Writing from Nice. France, under date of June 3. Attorney George B. Thayer. father of Charles T. Thayer of Putnam. well known in eastern Connecticut. tells of the French war orphans, numbering 300,0 ,000, and of the eleven families in which he be- came interested as godfather, these families having twenty-five orphans. He is making one of a series of trips that have taken him back to France since he served there with the ' dur ing the great war. Mir. Thayer has been visiting at the homes of or phans he adopted in various parts of France, riding at times. but at others indulging himself in his favorite pas time of hiking.
 MT. Thayer makes mention of one journey of fifty-six miles he made on foot to reach a small city north of Lyons. Detailing his visits with the orphans, now in some cases grown to young manhood and young woman hood, Thayer tells also in his inter- esting manner of his walk for many miles along the picturesque mountain Route Les Echarmeaux. He men tions his stay at the ancient city of Mines and tells Of a sight that im- pressed him greatly. the Roman via duet over the Gardon river, a work that has stood for centuries. This sight alone repaid me for the dusty walk, Mir Thayer says.
