The National Guards are in for one of the toughest basketball nights this season tonight when they meet the Atlas A. c. of New Haven in the weekly attraction at the state armory in this city. The Atlas team, rated as one of the best in the state and a strong con- tender for the statA championsl D laurels, has already taken one game from the Guards, that played in New Haven. The score of this contest was p to 20.
 The closeness of the result of the New Haven battle gives the fans here an idea of just what the game will be tonight Each team is anxious to topple the other and as it has become the slogan of outside teams to beat the National Guards on their home floor, the New Haven team will be especially keen to be the first one to turn the trick to- night.
 An imposing lineup will face the Guards in Botwinick and Evans at forward: Pite at center and Chadys and Gubersky at guard. This is the team that has bowled over some of the leading contenders in the state and the club banks on it to set the Guards back for the first time on the state armory floor.
 The game itself, with the Atlas furnishing the opposition for the local quintet, will bring out a record crowd of fans, it is thought. Always bitter rivals, the two teams are ex- ceedingly so this year. The season had progressed quite>a ways before the Atlas reassembled the squad which today represents it on the court. For this reason, several of the early season games resulted in victories for the team which met the Atlas. Since Pite. Botwinick and Gubersky returned to the fold, how ever, the Atlas five has lost only & few games.
 It is likely that New Britain will start tonight with Sloman and Ru- benstein at forward, Restelli at cen- ter and Kilduff and sheehan at 5 6ddiu, lilOuSI bltIL LdylOT, Re0 Reynolds and "Butsy" Sturm will is,'od get into the fray before it is fin-
 Among New Britain fans, the Guards are decidedly the favorite. There are many in New Britain. however, who figure that the Atlas will mar the record of the locals on their home floor. Because of this speculation it is figured that the seating capacity of the state armory will be taxed to the limit tonight.
 Preliminary Game
 A double feature will be present. ed in the preliminary game which will be between the Burritt and the Ranger teams. Both are local quintets which have been burning up the state In junior circles and a rich battle is anticipated tonight. The first game will start promptly at o'clock and the second will go on at approximately 9 o'clock.
 Dick Dillon will referee both con- tests and dancing will follow.

JACK DELANEY IS
 MUCH MORE RUGGED
Light Heavy Champ to Face Jimmy MalOney Friday Night

New York, Feb. F P)-A bigger. more rugged, and flasher Jack De- fancy than ever before crawled through the ropes of & prize ring will face Jimmy Maloney in the in- door classic of the fistic season at Madison Square Garden next Friday night. The light heavyweight cham pion. in training at Bridgeport, Conn.,. for one of the most important battles of his brilliant career, offers his own perfect physique as authori- ty for the statement.
 The hint of frailty that once marked the appearance of the 'ra- pier of the north" in matches with huskier opponents, has been lost in a definite ruggedness, added to De- laney's graceful figure by months of outdoor life and intensive training.
 T have gained several pounds in the past few months tramping through the woods and heavy snow when I might have been gathering in a small fortune through stage and motion picture work following my victory over Berlenbach," De- laney said yesterday. T passed up the rewards for just one purpose, to improve myself physically with the heavyweight title as my goal. In severe training I will never go over 175 pounds, but that's enough"
 Jack jumped into his training ring with Jack Warren, a Negro sparring partner, and turned loose his uncanny mitmarkmanship for the benefit of the newspapermen. I'm going to put one of my hardest uppercuts one inch from his chin in the next round" he confided to an onlooker.
 Jack worked the Negro into posi- ton. Whiz went the right uppercut, a terrific smash, just about one inch from Warren's chin. the Negro alone failed to appreciate the sharp-shoot- ing display.
 At Long Branch, N. J., Maloney likewise startled the onlookers with an exhibition of punching prowess. Short left and right hooks battered four sparring partners as the Boston heavyweight chased the substitutes for Delaney about the ring.
 What do I care what Delaney can do with his right hand-1 know what I can do with my two hands, he said. I'm going to win"
 The conquerer of three foreign heavyweigh kuh, Person md Diener-within the past few months weighed in at 206 pounds, but ex- poets to shave down to an even 200 by fight time. After surprising the visitors with his speed and whaling power, Jimmy sang for his guests in the evening and then walked mile to a movie in Long Branch after getting Special permission" from Jimmy De Forrest his trainer, to stay out until 9:15 p. m.. fifteen minutes later than the usual Tights out"

(BY JIMMY POWERS)

New York, Feb. 12-There are two red-faced Irish cops in this town who are the outstanding ath- letic marvels of the century, yet both of them are as unassuming and as plain as a dish of their favored chow, to wit-"red mike and violets"
 A gastronomic guide Is some times necessary to decipher the pairs table talk but for the benefit of the uninitiated, "red mike and violets" in their interpretation Is simply the very we'll known and revered corned beef and cabbage
 Pat and Matt-pardon the seem- ing familiarity, officer-Captain Matthew J McGrath and Lieutenant Patrick J. Mcdonald of the New York police department, are the two gents in question.
 These aged guardians of the law, both of whom first saw the light of day 20 years before the athletes of the present generation were in swaddling clothes ,are listed as 1927 champions!
 The new record books reveal un- para1leded effectiveness that is one of the marvels of the current ath- letic decade.
 I ran across the two Micks in strangest of all places-a Dutch rathskellar here. They were cele- brating Pats recent promotion from a sergeant to a lieutenant.
 Pat, who put the shot over fifty feet at the Stockholm Olympics more than If years ago, can still hurl the 56-pound weight as far as he ever did. He grabbed his latest national title at the big Sesqui meet in Philly and will defend it again this summer.
 Matt, at 50 years of age, is still tossing the 16-pound hammer within ten feet of his best form consistently. He is the best hammer thrower, certainly in the United States, and very probably in the world today and will be valuable asset to the 1928 Olympic team if the old gent lives that long. It wouldn't goal me to see Matt stop his own funeral and step down out of char acter long enough to pop off an- other record.
 He has been in the sport for 25 years and has won senior national titles during 16 of them!
 He won his first title back in 1908, beating John Flanagan, an- other Turk. Then he went to the Stockholm Olympics and won the international title. In 1913 Paddy Ryan won, but Matt came back in 1918 to rule again. Freddy Tootell, more than 20 years his junior, ruled in '23 and 24 but again the resili- ent Matt bounced back into the the championship class.
 Pat won his first national title 20 years ago, taking the shotput with a loss of 47 feet 9 inches. He rose to memorable heights in famed three-corncred duel at Stockholm, beating out the well known Nik- lander of Finland and Ralph Rose on his last put. He has one dozen senior titles in his big and is still going strong.
 Pat and Matt, with their present crowns intact, have clinched more national team titles than any pair in athletic history-which certainly ought to call for another round on the house, and you can make mine straight.

League Standing

Battling f1ercely with the score 10 to 10 and with less than three min utes to go, two teams. representa- tive of the Stanley Rule & Level and the Corbin Screw in the Y. M. c. A. Girls Industrial league put every ounce of strength Tn their last minute play, but the Rulers were bit stronger and for the second con- secutive Friday. the Screw Shop girls took the short end of close decision.
 The battle was decided by field goal by Ruth Paul from the right side of the court as the remaining minutes were diminishing into sec- onds.
 It was great battle and the pack ed gallery was thrilled through and through by the neat exhibition of basketball displayed by the two teams. Anna Marley dashed about the court like veteran and tossed In five counters. In fact, she dld all the scoring for her team until the deciding basket which was made by her running mate, Ruth Paul.
 The score was to 5. Rule Shop at the end of the first quarter, to 5 Rule Shop at half time and 10 to g, Rulers, at the end of the third quarter. It was in the beginning of the third quarter that the Screw Shop team began to stage come back. Mascolo put her team ahead by one point in to 6 score on clever toss after ? minutes and 55 seconds had passed. Marley made it 8 to ! in favor of the. Stanley team: snetro made 1t to 8. Pat" Dash ner had 8 chance to tie the score, but she missed. Marley made it 10 to 3 just as the third quarter came to close.
 Referee John Tobin detected Mas colo fouling Paul but the Rule Shop right forward missed a chance to break the tie. Four minutes were left, three minutes, two minutes, and still the teams remained deadlocked. Fans on both sides pleaded with their idols to shoot but they wrestled with the ball and took nose dives into the sideliners' laps. Marley got one but 1t did not count. Finally Paul took a quick pass from Mar ley and dropped the winning points through the netting.
 Captain Mascolo on the offense and Valeria Slysz on the defense, were the losers stars. The latter did not 20 past the middle of the floor and broke up several passes.

INDIAN MARATHON
Eighty-two Mile Run From San Antonio to Austin by Three Red- skins Is Planned,

Austin, Tex, Feb. 12 F-An S2 mile run from San Antonio to Aus tin by three Mexican Indians is planned as a feature of the annual Texas university relays this year.
 Clyde Littlefield. Texas track coach said last night arrangements were being made to bring the Indians here. It is planned to have them finish the run at the university stad- ium March 25 during the relay pro- gram.
 So far as he knows, the Indians will have no contestants, Littlefeld said.
 It will be necessary to call the run ners in from the wilds of interior Mexico. Two members of the Tara humare tribe several months ago ran a 62la mile race from Tuchuca to Mexico City in hours and S7 min. utes and finished strong. Members of the tribe of ten reel off 175 to 200 miles with only a few resting periods it Is said.

Church League to Have Two
 Good Games at "Y' Tonight

Howe, R. Anderson, Hartung, sub. Fengler, Gross.
 The St. Matthew's German Luther ans may face opposition in their Church basketball league tonight if the Blue Army puts it's strongest regular lineup on the floor. The Bluebirds have been in-and-outers this year, and have seldom had full team on hand, but they can put together one of the best teams in the league and may do so tonight with the stimulus of meeting the St. Matts goading them on. The St. Matts have recovered after losing to the Swedes and showed their best passing game of the season last wek Tied for first place, they are in the thick of the fight.
 In the second church game of the night the Trinity Methodists and Center Congregationalists will battle to escape the cellar. The Center church will climb out of last place if it wins, and the prospects of this are bright. The team folded up against the Blue Army after fine fight with the South church, but 1t was minus several men and should be in better condition this evening. The Methodists are cratic but always dangerous; they may be weakened tonight by the absence of several players.
