 At the Yale barn party In Jersey over the week -end Jones was bonn barded with an avalanche of tele- grams and speeches imploring him to take haCli his resignation.
 The resignation stands as It Is, Jones declared, but added that from his associations at Yale and with the squad his feelings were such that he would willingly coach the eleven without thought of rccompensc.
 But 1t is a delicate subject for me 10 discuss" Jones told the gath cring, and in fairness to you and the situation. l cannot comment further on it.

The winners outplaycd the losers on the floor but missed many shots that would have given them a big edge. The work of the Butt Makers during the contest gives an indication of much power that failed to come to the surface Saturday night but the quintet will bear watching as soon as Coach Jack Pelletier has their shoot ing eyes trained for the basket
 The Machine team fought a great battle but failed to top the opposi- ton at any time during the night. Patroski started the scoring with a free try and Cullinan shot a field goal before the NeWmatics got their first basket. Nappi scored foul for the Machine Shop and followed with a field goal.

NEW BRITAIN TO BATTLE
 HOLYOKE FIVE AT ARENA
Boucher, Pierce and Alexander of Waterbury Team
 Purchased by Manager Frank McDonough-Mer- Ger and Brown Released From Local Club-Hard- ware C. to be Represented by Strong Combina- t0n Aga -st Fred Jean's Tcam-Revised Standing.
The New Britain Roller Hockey

 team in the American Roller Hock- ey League, will meet the Holyoke quintet at the Stanley Arena tonight. The Hardware City team will ap- pear on the floor with an entirely revamped lineup. Saturday after noon at a meeting in Wallingtord, Manager Frank McDonough of the local club. purchased Bib" Boucher. Alexander and Earl Pierce of the Waterbury club to bolster up weak nesses that have cropped out in the local lineup.
 The New Haven team has with drawn from the field leaving the league with five teams and the standing has been revamped. Presi- dent A. w. keane yesterday ordered that all wins or losses of teams in games with the New Haven club would be ruled out of the league and this brings New Britain into second place. Meriden still leads with Hol- yoke third and Waterbury fourth. Walingford is in last place.
 Manager McDonough announced today that he had released Jack Mercer and Brown from the New Britain team. He has retained Jig ger" Higgins although 1t is not cer- tain just when Higgins will be able to play regularly with the club. His contracting business in Providence his require his undivided attention and it will be q little time yet be- fore he can be free enough to take his regular place with New Britain.
 The three newcomers will give New Britain team as strong as any in the league. Alexander and Pierce are rated among the best rushes in the league while Boucher is termed by many as the best center in the game. Boucher can take his place at rush so there will be variety as well as strength on the local club. Coupled with Higgins at the for ward posts and backed by the great defensive combination Of Muirheai and Blount New Britain will be ably represented and should make things hum in the league in the future.
 Tonight's game will bring the great Fred Jean back 10 this city for the second time this year. Jean appeared here with his Holyoke crew on Thanksgiving afternoon and evening. Holyoke won the first game but lost the evening encounter. The Paper City team has been strength- cned by the addition Of Lovegreen. goalie of the New Haven team and real battle is on the boards for this city tonight. With St. Aubin and the other stars on the Holyoke club, Jean should be at his best tonight. New Britain will probably line up with Alexander and Pierce at the rushes. Boucher at center Muirhead at half back and Blount at goal New Britain scored to 1 vic- tory over Holyoke in that city Sat urday night and the battle will be resumed tonight. Blount had 106 stops in the game and he was really the reason why New Britain came through with a victory.

SIX DAY RACES AGAIN UNDER WAY
Stars Of the Bicycle Are Doing
 Their Stuff

New York, Dec. 8 CUP)-1n a kaleidoscope whirl Of gay jersies and a glitter of flashing spokes through the smoky mists Of Madison Square Garden the 43rd international six day bike race was on today.
 Since nine o'clock last night, 15 teams have been whizzing around the big pine saucer before a capa- city crowd Of lcaden-lidded bike bugs who also won't be home for nights sleep until next Saturday midnight.
 This years race started with a fury of pedalling such as the hard boiled young men of the profession usually reserve for later in the week and before the starting gun had been fired half an hour Gastanna Bnlloni Of Italy and Gerard Debacto his Belgian partner, had jumped the field and stolen the first lap. So ably did Debaets, who won the six day race at Detroit the other day, continue to skim the track, a flash of green. white and red jersey through the multicolored pack. that by midnight he and his partner had established themselves as the lead CTS Of the race.
 4 record of S2 laps stolen before midnight was established but the rule in six day pedalling these days is more for speed and spectacle and less for the hard. hourly plugging which enabled the team of Goulet and Brenda to cover 2759.@ miles in the 1914 race in the old Garden. In the race here last March. Me Namara and Gcorgctti. inc winners covered only 234n,9 miles. The inexplicable bike bugs. who have their own p"cctrae way of do- ing things, have taken it into thcil heads this year 10 boo the iron man. and his dimtnutive Italian partner.
 Although they won the race ic March and are favorltes to rcpea' this week, McNamara and Georgctt circle the saucer to an occasions raspberry cheer, at which bike bug arc particularly adept.
 A bike bug in good voice can giv, a fight fan two whoops and q hol- Ter and beat him To the derogatory remarks six days In the week. FOi one thing, fight fan only gets { chance 10 yell boo about twice : week, and then for q few hours al the ringSide, but bike bugs at the Garden keep 1t up necessarily fol the duration of the 'ong grind. 1 Next to the sport of shouting un. pleasant remarks at the performers ! comes the business of moochinl | tickets or crashing the gate.

Locals to Meet All.IriSh Con-
 binati0n in Second Game

The Waterbury Boys club will be the opponent of the local Boys club
 this evening at ths second game of the season is played in the East
 Main street gymnasium. This quin-
 tet is expected 10 provide much more opposition than the Middletown Athletics, who opened the clubs schedule last week. and the absence of Captain Nick Gill will probably be
 felt more. The New Britain five carried on well without him in it's
 first game. however, and it expects
 10 mako a crcditable showing to-
 night-even to come through with Q
 win.
 Grusha, the new frward, showed up well last Monday, particularly in breaking up enemy passes, and the inconsistency which somewhat mar red his work ought to be missing to- night. now that he has gone through the nervous strain of his first regu- lar game. Benjamin proved clever
 guard in his initial start, and Com pagnone covered his man well in
 the final quarter despite an injured shoulder. The other three men,
 Kley. Goffa, and Silva, are up to their form Of a year ago.
 Kane, the visiting star tonight ia one of the leading scorers in Waterbury. and the New Britain
 guards will concentrate their atten- ton upon him. The balance of the team, which Is coached by Fritz
 klambt, former Hardware City man, is on a par with this forward, and the game should be a worthy suc- | cessor 10 the several great battles between these two clubs.
 The Boys club Reserves will play the preliminary game against the Fed erals. who defeated them year ago. After the feature contest there vii be dancing with music by the Imperial Club orchestra.
