Erwin game and some rough play was shown throughout the game. It was exciting and close and at one time with about two Nhnutes to play the cat-calls and booing of the crowd caused Referee Billy Coyle to allow a player an extra shot. The game was held up for several min- utes but the crowd could not be con- trolled as they cheered and booed, yelled and ragged. grabbed and laughed through 80 minutes of catch as catch can basketball.
 Five minutes after the game had started Frank McGrath, center of the Fafnir team was forced to leave the game because of personal fouls. Havlick and Beiser, forwards for Fafnirs, had three each in the first half and were taken from the game. Russell & Erwin's team was no bet ter in this respect. Three of the players had three fouls and fourth, Johnny Sake was forced to leave the game because of personals. Howard Belser made his fourth personal foul shortly alter he was put back in the game and for the second time in his basketball career he was put out of the game on fouls.
 Fafnir Bearing seemed to be off to an easy victory in the first few minutes of play but through the work of Captain (Nippy) Nyborg, M al t.iM ho advantage was brought down and on a field goal by Nyborg R. & E. went into an s to : lead. Matulis tied the score at S-all and the Fafnir team again went into the lead. A l4 to s lead of Fafnirs was cut down and at half time Russell X Erwin's led 15 to 14 on a last minute field goal by Nyborg.
 The Russell X Erwin captain came back strong in the second half and the team had l9 to If lead. Belser and Matulis popped away until it was 19 to IS. Then Nyborg again slipped down the side of the court and found the basket. Mieczkowski who was one of Fafnir's strongest bets on the team, made it 20 for Fafnir's, just one point behind. kar- bonic made it B to 20. On a jump ball Gierochowski tapped it in and Fafnirs were again within a point of a tie. Shurzewski tosed in a two- pointer but Mieczkowski came through and scored. He was fouled in the act of shooting and he made one of his points good to deadlock the score at 25-all.
 The toughest type of basketball followed. A foul was called on a Faf- mir player and karbonic was given a shot The crowd booed and Referee Coyle gave him another shot, saying This man can keep on sh" rg unless the crowd stops"
 This was signal for q huddle of tue A,,...'f p.o.~.s u.ld the referee was in the midst of them Kicks from the players. their coach and the team followers could be hea I'd and seen. Time was called. Finally the game was resumed and HaNlirk vas ciNr,, - T -

 It goes without saying hat Ny borg was the star of the Russwin team. Mieczkowski and Havlick were the best performers for the kafnir outfit. Without doubt Miecz- kowski should be in the regular lineup.

MAYES MlAIN'S END IS f0RESEEN

Chicago, Nov. 17. R-The ghost of an old Big Ten rule threatens to end the football career of Mayes McLain, University of Iowa Indian fullback, after the season.

 The Story

 In 1904. it appears, large num- Der of Indians from Haskell decided 10 round out their education by go- ing to the University of Minnesota. It also appears that these Indians were football players. some of them having played not only at Haskell but also at Carlisle.

 Then the battle grew hot. Every time the ball moved there were struggles and fights. Jumps were called often and the hall was a mad house. The excitement had reached a high pitch up until the time Saunders got his hands on the ball. but when he shot straight short field goal there was a din. 1m- mediately time was called out and both teams went into conference as to the best play to try next. It was very certain that there was just tisie for one play.
 Stanley Rule had one advantage. It's center. kley, was much taller than German who was substituting at center for Corbins. German ex- tended himself to the limit on the jump and there was struggle be- tween the two centers. Another jump and the ball went to the Rule Shop and then to F. < F. COrbins. Benny Paris took a pass near his basket. but he missed sucker and the game ended.
 Without doubt the fans saw some of the best players in the league in that second game. Nick Gill, Wilton Mercy. John kley. Ben Saunders, Mickey Luke, Hoist, Jasper and Cor man will do much for their team in the hot campaign ahead this year. The aummarN:

Click Wins Decision
 Over Baby Joe Cans

New York, Nov IT P-Joe Click. hard punching Williamsburg light weight. has removed another formid- able obstacle from his path toward 135-pound championship. Click re- ceived a decision over Baby Joe Cans, California negro star, after . rather lifeless ten round battle at Madison Square Garden last night.
 The cheers and boos were about evenly divided when the verdict was announced. Click won chiefly be- cause Cans neglected to get started before the sixth round. The judges evidently believed Click had piled up enough points in the first four or five rounds to earn the decision.

Gabriel Bremberg. former high echecl football star. will today start his first game in the regular lineup fer Dartmouth. He will Ill in at risht guard today. He has appeared tR every game that Dartmouth has pleyed this season but today marks 1is first chance to start with the regular lineup.
 He is daily growing heavier and therefore more suitable as | line. maa. The latest figures on his weight show that he tops the scales It lsS pounds.
 \ peculiar sideliSht on the New Britain New Haven Hilhouse foot ball game this afternoon at Willow Bvsek park is the interest being she~n in the play of DeAnselis, halfback on the Elm City eleven. In former games. he has generally been the goat Despite q good record all season, he would invariably go bad in tho New Britain game.
 This year, peAngelis has been the outstanding star of the New Haven teams play and many here are curt- ous to see how he goes in today's game. Whether he will be able to overcome the jinx that chases him every time his team meet New Brit ain, is one of the mysteries of the clash.
 Hartford High is meeting Weaver High today and according to news newspaper stories from the team, the plan today for the Hartford coach is to use mostly his second strine men SO that all of hts first string regulars may be saved for New Britain.
 If it were possible. we believe, the Hartford coach would load up with stars for the New Britain game the same as the Giants arc doing in their second series clash with New Britt ain tomorrow.
 Fans here are hoping that the Nutmegs will hand the Capital City team the worst beating of years when they meet. New Britain is standing pat with the lineup it has used all year. Hartford will be al- most totally different team on the field.
 Tom Leary and "Butsy" Sturm will be in New Britain uniforms to- night as the basketball season opens but they will be in Hartford uni forms playing against New Britain in the football game tomorrow.
 Hartford will have the combination that was one of the big numbers for New Britain last year. The aerial route of Graham to Leary is one that the local defense will have to watch at all times.
 Watch 'Zev' Graham" will be the watchword for the Nutmegs. : This is an important move for the locals because Graham, once he is away, is away for good. He ran riot against Hartford in this city last year and he may do the same for Hartford against New Britain tomorrow. He will meet plenty of opposition, however, in his attempts to carry the bal.
