BLUES MN HAND|LY
 IN SPIRITED CAME

The Blues defeated the Whites in
 the preliminary basketball game last evening by the score of 20 to but the score does not mean it was an un- interesting game. Far be it from such /, for these girls teams always give the fans run for their money. Mcintosh was high point girl for the Blues dumping in eight field shots with Leslie coming through with two. Jean Merritt gave the Whites their lone basket.
 Jean made her basket only after a hard fight down the floor. Harrison's guarding was again on of the features of the game. Larsson also played a strong game but the Whites had tough luck in shooting.
 Cecil Leslie was in the game all the time, also Neville but the latter's shooting was away off color according to her usual accurate shots.
 The lineups were, Blues Leslie, center; Bert and Betty, forwards; Rosness and Neville, guards. Whites Larson, Horton, Harrison, Ava Peter son, and Jean Referee, Lenhart.

FORD SCHOOL TEACHERS
 RESIGN AT SUDBURY
Don't Want to Risk "Wrecking Career" of 17-Year-Old
 State Ward.

Sudbury, Mass. Nov. o2 R- Rather than risk the possibility of "wrecking the career of 17-year- old state ward from Marlboro. a stu dent at Henry Ford's Wayside Inn trade school, three instructors have been allowed to resign. Four other younger boys who took French leave' in sympathy with the teach- CTS have returned. A fifth was ex- pected back today.
 The difficulties at the trade school which became public last night were caused. according to Earl Boyer. Mir. Ford's representative. by the refusal of the school authorities to remove the Marlboro boy after 1t had been complained that he had become dangerous to discipline" From another source it was said that the youth had ill treated some of the younger boys.
 Boyer said the places of the teach- CTS who resigned would be filled im- mediatcly. Four of the boys who quit the institution Monday were back at their classes yesterday. All are under charge of the state de- partment of public welfare.
 Boyer said that when confronted with the choice of letting the teach- CTS so or removing the boy he "pre- ferred to keep the boy rather than the teachers because if he were turned out nov it might wreck his career"

ICOURT CONSIDERING | KILb0URNFS SUIT
Judge Marvin Reserves Decision
 in Action Against City
(Special to the Herald)


 Hartford, Nov. 22-If filling in lowland is not reconstruction" with in the meaning of the law. then excavatins for cellars is not. al- though the latter work is so classi- fled. Judge F. B. Hungerford argued in superior court yesterday before Judge l.. P. Waldo Marvin in the suit brought by Edward O. Kill bourne to dissolve an injunction re- straining him from constructing . gasoline filling station on Stanley street. opposite Stanley Quarter park. New Britain.
 The suit hinges upon the meaning of this one word. If kilbourne con- vinces the court that he began con- struction when he constructed a culvert and filled in ravine. it is generally agreed that his suit will be successful. He held a permit to build the station, but could not do 50 until the land was prepared. The permit required the work to begin within three months. but it was not possible to reach the building prop CT within that period, it is claimed. Coming regulations intervened and prevented the issuance of. a new permit. kilbourne attempted to pro- ceed under his claim that construc- ton had begun, but he was stopped by Building Inspector Arthur N. Rutherford. who told Judge Marvin l ,&. l,nf h~ r.. ders from Mayor Gardner c. Weld, who was in office at. the time. Preliminary Work Cost $4,:Sl Arthur w. Bacon. a civil engineer of 25 years experience, testified to 1 measurements made at the Kill bourne plot and fixed the cost of the work done by Kilbourne to prepare the land at d minimum of $429l Judge Hungerford set up the claim that this money was expended in re- liance upon the implied promise that the petitioner would be allowed to proceed.
 Edward J. Henncssy, former building inspector. testified that he issued the permit to kilbourne after the mayor. board of public works. police and fire departments gave their consent.
 Judge John H. kirkham, corpor- ation counsed. termed the applica- tion for Sl7.oo0 damages as lab. surd," arguing that kilbournc, ii permitted to go ahead. suffers nc damage. and if he is not it is be. cause he has no legal rights in the premises and therefore is entitled to none.
 Judge Hungerford argued that the very exception to zoning which Xii bourne was taking advantage of, that which permits completion of jobs started before the law was en- acted, is the one thing that saves the law from classification as uncon- stitutional.

New York. Nov. 22 R)-Whether Tom Heeney. sturdy New Zealand fighter who was the loser in Gene Tunney's last appearance as heavy weight champion. retires from the ring depends on his opponents more than anything else. In his first in- terview since he reached New York. Heeney said yesterday that he was very uncertain about continuing his ring career but that he would like to keep on if he could fight only men suited to his style.
 T want to fight some pore and then again I don't" Heeney ex- plained. My wife wants me to get out while I am sound in body and mind, I feel that I've fought them all. There's no new ones around for me to tackle and I have a little money. I'd like to get into some business which would bring me . satisfactory income. That's one side of it.
 Yet I'd like to keep on if I could
  I don't mean that I want to pick opponents, but what I mean is 10 fight men near my own size and more closely related to me in style. fellows like Sharkey. Risko. Pauline and Dempsey, any one of the four or all four of them. That would be better than if fought somebody like Tunney. bigger than me and given to boxing rather than fight ing"
 Apparently discountinE the possi- bility of wading through an eIimina- tion tournament to the heavyweight title. Heeney did not think mueh of the money to be won in the ring.
 T suppose could earn about $40. .o0o in years fighting" he said. and against this there is tho idea of exposing yourself te injury"

Manager George Brott of the Hart ford Giants explained to us today that the third game Of the serie between the Nugmess and the Giants was to be played in this city but because of the fact that Memorial Field was not available. the game had to be shifted to Hartford.
 Manager Zehrer had asked him to , postpone the contest for another week but Manager Brott was afraid that the game would probably not be played and he insisted that the contest be staged this week.
 He stated that he had postponed tho second game a week because New Britain wanted to play Staple ton and would have consented to postpone the third contest another week but he is afraid that the weather might interfere and prevent the game being played.
 Just who Manager Zehrer will get for his team will remain a mystery for . few days. He stated yesterday that he had lines on several good players and he would probably be able to announce their names some time before the game Sunday.
 The Bayonne basketball team is generally a high priced outfit. &C., cording to what we hear. They are coming to this city Saturday night for . mediocre guarantee solely be- cause it Is their first venture into New England and they would like to break into the basketball circle up here The manager of the team promises that Bayonne will win. We shall see.
 Hartford fans are willing to bet that Hartford scores two victories over New Britain over the weekend. Hartford wants to bet that the high school wins and then again that the Giants win.
