BLUE ELEVEN TIES
 BRANFORD LAURELS
Locals Furnish Town Team Toughest Battle of the Season

The New Britain Blues battled the Branford Laurels to scoreless tie in the feature football game of the holiday in that town yesterday after noon. It was the toughest battle Branford has had this season. The Blue team excelled in all depart ments of the game and but for a number of seemingly tough breaks, the locals would have come home with a win.
 The New Britain team lost it's best opportunity to score when the ball was fumbled on Branford's seven yard line. In the last quarter. the Laurels came to New Britain's 15- yard stripe.
 Here field goal was tried, but the New Britain linemen broke through, blocked the kick and re- covered the ball. For the most part. the game was kicking duel be- tween l.. Puppel of the Blues and Baker for the Laurels.
 The line plunging of Casperine and Captain kayeski of the Blues were features. The field generaship of kasprow deserves especial recog- milton.
 The brunt of the work. however fell to the Blues line which formed a stonewall defense and outcharged their opponents on every play. A large cheering section accompanied the local team, and led by Andy sarisky. did great work during the battle

 Brown remains unbeaten, but the Iron Men" yesterday finally fell from the lofty pinnacle they had occupied with Navy and Lafayette after a heroic struggle against Col gate. Only by inches, however, did the Bruins fail to finish their cam- paign with an unbroken string of ten straight triumphs. With the score tied at 10-10, Mishels efforts to rescue a victory struck the Col gate cross bar, wavered, and then dropped back 10 the playing field as 30,000 spectators saw history repeat cd in the deadlock of these two an cient rivals a year ago.

FORM SCHEDULE
 AT MEETING TODAY
Athletic Directors and Football
 Coaches Plan Reforms

Chicago, Noy. 26 R-Athletic di- rectors and football coaches of the Western Conference meet here today to arrange their 1927 gridiron schedules and to consider new re- forms expected to bring about more games within the Big Ten and few CT intersectional contests.
 The directors and coaches hope to complete their schedule making by tonight and finish other business to- morrow in time 10 allow them to wander over to Soldiers Field to witness the Army and Navy spec tacle.
 While the schedules were being drafted the faculty representatives of the conference considered eX- banding the Big Ten by admitting Notre Dame and possibly Michigan State or Nebraska. It was regarded as certain, however that the confer ence would not be enlarged, but that the faculty representatives might take some action to enforce a greater number of games between conference opponents.
 These reforms include rotating schedule, also a proposal that each university develop two teams, one to play at home, and the other to play the same university on the opposing campus, the same day. Under this plan a Michigan Minnesota game would be played at Ann Arbor, and also at Minneapolis on the same afternoon. Fielding H. Yost, of the University of Michigan, is the spon- sor of the idea which also is favored by Coach Page of Indiana.

 wBMTANY o
ALUMNI AND HIGH
 IN SCORELESS TIE
Johnny Grip Just Misses Putting
 Over Field Goal Near End

Showing little against the heavier and more experienced alumni team, the New Britain High school Inde- pendents, in 7: game which was sup posed to be played as a benefit to Frank Mccarthy, injured football player, battled to a scoreless tie yesterday morning at Memorial field. According to fiouIes given by one of the alumni managers, receipts totaling s235 were taken in, of which s177 was left after expenses were paid.
 A division of the receipts is ex- pected to be made among Mccarthy and the two teams. Efforts to de- termine what part of the receipts would be given to Mccarthy were unsu rcessful yesterday but 1t is ex- pected that meeting will be held soon at which the amount he will receive will be determined.
 The game itself was nothing to make the fans give three cheers at having missed their Thanksgiving mornings sleep. The High team was outplayed in every part of the game. At times it appeared as if the alumni team was merely Hay ing down." rather than defeat the regulars.
 The team was weakened consider ably by the loss of "Jim" Gordon at left end and Gay" Bromberg at left tackle, and at one time during the game after Marion Zaleski and Har- old Bruce had retired on account of injuries, four substitutes played in the lineup. They were Jimmy Scully for Bromberg, Ed Conley for Gordon. Arzyle 'icz for Bruce and Landino for Zaleski.
 An unusual feature of the game was the fact that three brothers took part. James (Uncle) Conley, All New Britain star end. played guard and Joseph Conley. backfleld man on the All -Middletown team. played end on the alumni team and Eddie Conley played end on the High
 
 Following are the alumni players who took part in the contest: James (Re6 Miller, 1924, center: Nechon Deradorian. 1924, and James Con- ley, 1916. guards; Howard Beloin. 1924. and Roger scully. 1925, at tackle; Joseph Conley. 1921 and Carl Brink. 1919, ends; John Grip, 1924. quarterback; Fred Gennette, 1925. and James Renehan, 1920, half- backs: and Harry Stromquist. 1925, and John Gierochowski, 1923. full backs.
 The alumni team scored seven first downs and the Red and Gold team four. two of which were made as the result of long penalties given to the grads"
 The game ended with the ball within six yards of the goal line. The alumni team on series of passes to Renehan brought the ball to the two yard line and after fail ing twice to make a gain Miller passed the ball back to an imagin- ary backfeld man. The team lost considerably although 1t recovered the tumble. An attempted drop kick by Grip hit the cross bar of the goal posts and the game ended.
 Officials of the game were as fol- lows: Parker. referee: Faulkner. Jack Renehan, head lines man: Kenneth Saunders and Elgert Politis, assistants.

GUARDS BEAT ENDEES M
 FIERCE OVERTIME BATTLE
sloman and Sheehan Cage Winning Points in Extra Period-"Butsy" Sturm Cinches Game With Field Goal-Foul By Reynolds and Double Counter By Sheehan Tie Score-Bristol Shows Plenty of Power During Contest-Teams Meet Here Saturday.

The National Guard basketball team of this city defeated the Bris- tol Endees, state champions last year, in the first game of five gaml series at the Bristol High school last night by the score of fl to 57. It took, however, a five minute overtime period to decide regulation periods in a deadlock at 35 all.
 Sloman and Sheehan scored the points In the extra period that gave New Britain the jump and the game, but "Butsy" Sturm slipped in double decker that put the game on ice. Red" Reynolds. in the last few minutes of play. made the only foul shot he was awarded all night, count by dropping it through the hoop. and Johnny Sheehan whizzed through a field goal to tie the score.
 Sloman continued his sensational playing and today Is the talk of all the Bristol basketball fans. In the first half, he rang up three field goals and two fouls and in the sec ond half duplicated the score to pile his total of points to 16 for the night. Red" Reynolds got going again last night and slipped in four field goals and one foul shot for total of nine. Sheehan scored four field goals while Taylor. kilduff and Sturm played a whale of a game on the floor.
 The Endees showed mid-season form in the battle with New Brit ain. Risky" Feldman. slipping time and again through the close guarding of "Tedders" kilduff and "Butsy" Sturum, easily carried away th t, hsnors for the Bell City quintet. He scored four field goals and a foul l. the first half and three field and three foul goals in the second half giving him total of IS points for the night. Donoghue performed in his usual efficient manner at center.
 It was a great battle while 1t lasted with first one team and then the other forging into the lead. AL most all night, the teams were tied and the players suffered from the gruelling pace that was set at the first whistle. The first half found the Guards leading by the narrow margin of 13 to 12, but near the end of the second half. it looked as If New Britain was doomed to lose out. The snappy spurt in the over time period after the score had been tied, gave New Britain the edge.
 These two teams will battle it out in the second game of the fivegame series at the state armory in this city tomorrow night. Bristol has taken New Britain's measure on sev- eral occasions on the local floor and after the battle both teams put up last night. neither showed any great amount of superiority over the other. New Britain won, 1t Is true, but the Bristol team showed up just as good as the locals in every department Of play. Tomorrow nights battle should be well worth watching and a record crowd is ex- pected out to see the locals pit their skill again against the champions of last year. The score:

 Many of the Bouts-Weights Range From 130 to
 175 Pounds From Mass. City to Appear Lightweight Champ Matched With Hartford Boy.
Another sensational amateur figf

The weights of the boxersI to be seen in action tonight rangeI from 130 to 175 pounds and in al number of the bouts. sluggers oil varying power will be seen in ac-i ton and knockouts are predicted toI happen at frequent intervals.
 The sensation of the night will be Paul Terzo who, in two specta- cular starts, has won his last two/ fights on the local cards. The Hart ford battler terrific body puncher. broke two ribs on Springfield op-I ponent in his first appearance four weeks ago and last week. after go- ing down three times himself in theI first round. he knocked out Katz- mart of Hartford in the second. !

 The Holyoke boys are all favored to win tonight, but word comes from Waterbury that the crowd of ! simon pures who hail from the Brass City are among the toughest in the state and to beat them their Holyoke opponents will have to travel at top speed.
 Leading the Bay State aggregation will be Leonard Provost who only,I a few weeks ago, won a tournament for the state lightweight champions ship of Massachusetts He will meet Pat Shea of Hartford. a rough boy who has been seen here in previous appearances. These two should | furnish one of the sensations of the night.
