HIGH SCHOOL FIVE STAGES PRACTICE
Squad Stages Spirited Workout
 in Preparation for Season

Members of the New Britain High school basketball team held their last practice before the Christmas vacation in the school gymnasium last evening. This concluded about two weeks of hard workouts, during which the team played practice games against the Corbin Screw and Fafnir Bearing teams of the Y. M. Dusty" league.
 In the Fafnir Bearing contest, the school boys were defeated in an overtime game, but in the Corbin Screw contest the Red and Gold team won over the Dusty" league leaders.
 The lineup which started last night consisted of Captain Fred saunders, center; Alex Zaleski, right forward; Henry Krazuski, left for ward; Eddie Sowka, right guaId; and Louis Landino. left guard.
 A surprise was sprung yesterday afternoon. q Alex Zalcski had been go- ing bad and he was taken from the lineup. This gave Eddie Gingshurg' 4 dark horse candidate, a chance at forward, and he flashed a great game. He made a field goad from scrinmage besides playing a good floor game.
 The Red and Gold teams sched- uIa ths year will consist of two games with Hartford Public High | school. two with New Haven Hill bouse High school, two with Pitts field (Mass.) High school, two with st. Thomas seminary. one with Bulkelev High school of Hartford and one with Carmel High school.

(BY NEA SEEVICE)

New York, Dec. 16.--From the quiet pursuits Of a business man. retired voluntarily from the strife Of the tennis courts, little Bill John ston, for years one of the world g outstanding players, probably will be drafted to join Bill Tilden in an- other effort to bring the Davis cup back to the United States.
 Almost seven years ago, Tilden and Johnston. then in their prime. went clear down under to Australia and brought back the cup that is symbolic of the worlds team tennis championship.
 From then on until this year Til- den and Johnston fought success fully against the worlds greatest players and they succeeded in keep ing the cup in this country.
 But, last September, France. with Rene Lacoste, Henri Cochet, Jean Borotra and Jacques Brugnon. bat tered down the two Bills and took the cup to France for its first period of residence with Latin nation.
 Following his defeat in the cup matches, Johnston announced that he was forced to retire from tour nament and cup competition. He had neglected his business for seven years and he felt the time had come when he had to make tennis sec- ondary in his program. Johnston Is in the insurance and brokerage business in San Francisco.
 In recent months. however. John ston has rearranged his business af- fairs so that his constant personal attention is not essential and he has told friends that he may try the big game again.
 The United States Lawn Tennis association. beyond selecting the American zone for the challenging team. has not made public any defl- mite plans as to the players that will be considered for places on the team.
 Bill Tilden, still the worlds second ranking player although he has lost his American championship. Is q cinch for the team. He already has announced that he will go to Europe early in 1928 with Frank Hunter and will make another desperate effort to come back.
 Johnston's name hasn't been men, toned outside of the chambers of the tennis association, but 1t is known that the little Californian is ! wanted badly.
 To those who might doubt the wisdom of delegating 10 Johnston the burden of supporting Tilden, the officials Of the association are pre- pared to ask:
 Where is there a better player In ! the United States to take his place ?
