NATIONAL GUARDS MEET
 ATLAS FIVE SATURDAY
Bitter Rivals to Clash This Week on State Armory Floor-New Haven Quintet Has One Victory Over Locals - New Britain Lost in Elm City By Two Points-Botwinick, Pite and Gubersky With Visi. tors-Teams Strong Contenders for State Title.

The National Guard basketball team will meat the Atlas A, c. five Of New Haven at the state armory on Arch street Saturday night. This will be- the second meeting between the two teams this season, the first game having resulted in a two-point win for the Atlas.
 In the game which was played in New Haven on January 14, the Atlas emerged victorious by 22 to 20 score after hectic battle. It was a rough affair with the Guards fighting the home club tooth and nail This has been the same on every occasion that the Guards and the Atlas have clashed and satur- day nights contest will be no ox- ception.
 The Atlas started off the season With a patched-up lineup. Pite and Gubersky were not with the team due to disagreements. AS the sea- son progressed, however, these two men returned to the fold and since that time, the team has been burn- ing things up
 The Atlas will bring to this city the same strong lineup that has faced the Guards on former occa- sions. Botwinick and Evans will be In at forwards. Sam Pite will be at center while Chadys and "Gawge" Gubersky will cover the guard posi- tions. With this combination, the Guards will have to be on their toes every minute of the game.
 During the present week, the players on the local team are rest ing. no games being scheduled. This has been planned by Manager Clar. ence Lanpher so that every man on the team will be at his best The team practiced at the state armorv last night and worked out several new plays which will be used against the New Haven team.
 New Britain fans are solidly be- hind the Guards in this coming bat tie. The Atlas now form the big obstacle to a clear path of the Guards towards the state champion ship. The Atlas have one victory over the locals and Saturday night will present the Guards the oppor- tunity of tying this count.
 Judging from the closeness of the score in New Haven and the fast pace at which the Guards are trav- cling on their home floor. New Britain fans arc willing to place their Tong green" on the home team. 4 record crowd will be on hand to watch the Atlas in action as the team has always been one Of the greatest drawing cards of the season.

Kittens Drowned, Cat
Adopts Four Skunks

Quincy, Ill.-Maternal instinct in
a cat resulted in a strange nature
story told by f. A. Jones, a farmer
living in Brookfeld, Mo.
A gray mother cat with four kit
tens came to his house. His children
prepared to give the mother and her
brood a comfortable home, but Jones,
having other ideas on the subject
consigned the four kittens to the
creek
The next day, to his surprise, his
small son informed him that the kit
tens we're safe and sound. Recalling
the traditional nine lives attributed
to cats, Jones investigated, and found
that the cat had acquired four other
kittens without doubt, but instead of
their being some other feline's off
spring, they were of the genus me-
phitis, or common American skunk.

UNLUCKY AND LUCKY

or an open door of the car in which
she was riding to school Friday, and
at rough corner of the street she
was pitched headlong to the ground
She was not seriously injured, but
was kept in bed for two days by the
bruises received. Clinging to open
doors and standing on running boards
are customs of too many of our young
folks, and very disturbing to older
and more cautions people who recall
the great number Of fatalities that
occur as a result of these practices.
