 basketball stars turned out in Wa terbury. Darlington is paired up with Burns at forward and these two form threat to any team that op- poses them. Sheehy is at his usual place at guard working with Fibre who is well known about the state in basketball circles. Sheehy is a sensational drihbler and the fans of this city like to watch him in action. His running mate is also a player of the first magnitude. McGran. the center, is one of the best in the state and will keep the locals on their toes all night.
 Manager Clarence Lanpher will probably toss in his best lineup to- night with Sloman and Rubenstein starting at forwards. Reynolds at center and kilduff and Sheehan at the guards. Taylor. Restelli and Sturm will get into the game as the contest progresses.

It will be necessary for the team to show a better brand of basketball than 1t has recently if it is to get back into winning form again. The Rialtos have recently scored a five point victory over Kosky's Co-ops in Hartford and they expect to take the Burritts into camp. The lineups: Burritts Rialtos l dCODOWlCZ ............ SldlldICe
