the Burritts at the armory and
walked out Of the Y. M. c. A. IN

field.
The Boys Club will open its
basketball season tonight and plunge
directly into a series Of hard games
by meeting the New York. New
Haven & Hartford Five of New
Haven. The club will have the same
eight men who did such good work
last year, and every one Of them has
developed considerably since then,
making the team great deal
stronger. Followers of the organiza-
ton have yearned for the when the
club would have another team as
great as the team of two years ago
which swept before it everything in
New England. The present team,
which began to work together a
year ago. is now thought to be al
most ready to make the local fans
forget Mickey Luke's whirlwinds.
Nick Gill. the curly-haired south
pay, will lead the team this year; he
is the fastest man on the team, Is
excellent at passing, and has a de-
vastating hook shot. Paired off with
him will be Henry Kraszewski, who
has developed amazingly in the past
few weeks and has acquired the nee
cssary experience which he lacked
last year. Pete Zapatka, a flashy
man and tireless worker, will prob
ably alternate with these two in the
fore
Long John" Kley, the towering
center, is another who has improved
since last season; he has now re-
covered from the injury to his arm
and. with his height and strength,
will put power into the club attack.
Joe Gotta, who jumped center last
year. has been moved back to guard;
he is fast enough to get up the floor.
shoot, and be back without damage
to the defense, and Joe is the hardest
fighter on the team. Pete Silva, rug
ged and dependable, will play de-
fensive guard as he did year ago.
Isidore Murphy" Levin will work
in with these two, while Jake Hog
go" Parparian is ready for utility
use.
The Railroad Five played here last
year and lost after a tough battle;
it has promised to prove even tough
err this year, and it appears to be a
fitting opener for schedule which
has few if any easy spots.
There will be a preliminary be-
tween the Boys Club Reserves and
South Church Reserves. The club
will use Parparian, Tony Kerelejza,
Frank Pac, Captain John Red"
Compagnone, Fitzgerald and Zujko.
The church will have available Joe
Potts, John Carubba, Henry Rock
we'll, "Yordy' Osborne. Carleton
Washburn and Doug HARDWOOD.
Dancing will follow the main game.

Hartford stands the victor in the
first game between the Blues and
All-New Britain played yesterday
afternoon at the Velodrome in East
Hartford. However, 1t is our opinion
that the better team lost the game.
Some won't agree with us which Is
natural, but a majority OF the New
Britain fans, even those who lost
money ON the game yesterday, are
satisfied that New Britain will pro-
badly get the breaks In the second
rame on December IL and the stu
alton will be reversed.

A statement like this, that Hart
ford won the game through lucky
breaks" for them. seems like an
abb for Nedw Britain's defeat, but
no alibis are being given by the To-
Gals. The facts OF the case were that
Hartford's two scores came as d.
rect result OF two lucky breaks while
New Britain. with four clear chan
ces to score and chance to score

down, couldn't get the impetus to
send the runners across the line.
It was q fiercely fought contest.
Donlin, the big Boy" from New Ha-
ven bore the brunt of the attack
from the start. 1t was Hartford's
plan to smash through New Britain's
.left tackle, but willie Stevens
crashed them back and back until
he was worn out. Coach Hayes re-
lieved him by sending in Conklin and
this boy played sweet game all
through.

AS an indication of the truth of
this assertion. we may say that Pat

Barnikow was helpless in the game
on line plunges. The Hartford team
was laying for him and stopped him
dead on every try. At times both
lines were weak, but they frightened
UP in the pinches. New Britain made
the sensational stand Of the day when
the team held for three downs with
the ball only six inches away from
the goal line.
