NEW BRITAIN QUINTET TO
 START CAMPAIGN TONIGHT
Professional Basketball Season to Begin At Stanley Connecticut Yankees of Bridgeport to Fur nish Opposition -McElwain to Start At Forward for Locals-Players Display Mid-Season Form in Practice Sessions-Large Crowd to Attend.
Linc,,l,s

Sheehan, lg, ....... J. Ahlstrand
 Five Ahlstrand brothers from Bridgeport, playing under the name of the Connecticut Yankee Basket hall team, will furnish the opposi- ton for New Britain in the opening game of the pro court season to be staged tonight at 9 o'clock at the Stanley Arena on Church street. This will be the first appearance ot the brothers as a unit on the bas- kctball court.
 The visiting combination holds an enviable reputation in Connecticut basketball circles because of their individual prowess on various other teams. Two of them starred on the Bridgeport K. of C. team of two years ago: one was a member of the Washington Palace five of the American League while the two oth- CTS have been stars on the Bridge port Central High school quintet and on other semi-pro clubs.
 Following several practice ses- sions, the members of the New Brit ain team have started to show mid season form. One newcomer added to four regulars from last year will form the quintet that will start the game. McElwain. former American League star. is rated as one of the best point getters in the league. He led the American League several times in scoring and was a valued member of several teams. He will pair up with Sloman giving the team a pair of fast forwards. Zakzewski will play center with the 'otd re- liables" Leary and Sheehan at the guards.
 New Britain will have world of reserve material and every man will be given the opportunity 10 show his wares. The reserve squad will in- clude Hoist. Sturm. Taylor. Eestelli, NJ. Luke and probably, Williams, former Connecticut Aggi.s star.
 A large opening crowd is expected to attend the game because of the intense interest being shown in basketball this year. Billy Coyle of Wallingford, considered generally as second to none but Dick Dillon, will referee. The game will start at 9 o'clock and dancing will follow.

 Left Guard,

For the first time in number of seasons, New Britain will be repre- scented on the basketball court this year by 8 quintet of girls. The team will open the season tonight at $ o'clock at the Stanley Arena against the Manchester Recreations as a preliminary game to the New Brit ain mems team.
 The visiting delegation from Man chester is we'll known to basketball fans in this city. It made several ap- pearances against Industrial league teams in this city last year and proved to be one of the snappiest girl outfits in the state.
 Manager Ralph Recano of the To- cal team has not decided yet on his starting lineup. The quality of the stuff shown by the candidates has been so high that it has developed into a difficult matter to pick the best of the lot. All the members Of the squad are sure to get an oppor- tunity of playing in the game to- night. Besides those mentioned in the lineup are Motyka, Jacobs and Dashner. Whatever combination IS used should give Manchester tough battle.
 Nearly as much interest is being displayed about town in the en- trance of the girls into the basket ball field among state teams and a large crowd will be on hand to see the team in action in its first game. The players have been practicing steadily for several weeks and they are all near mid-season form at the present time.
 The game tonight will start promptly at s o'clock with Billy coyle as referee.

 A final decision as to which men Coach George NJ. Cassidy of the New Britain High school football team will use in his backfield will depend upon whether his team wins the toss in the game this afternoon. Unless he changes his mind the last minute he intends to send Ross to quarterback if New Haven receives the kickoff but if New Britain re- ceives. Zaleski is to be in the line up with Landino at quarterback. The game will start at 2:3o o'clock.

Tomorrow afternoon at the velo- drome in East Hartford, the Paw nee Football team of this city will meet a real test when it clashes with the heavy All-Burnside eleven. This will be the first meeting Of these two teams this year but 1t will not be the first clash between the elovens. The Pawnees last year met and swamped their opponents of tomorrow afternoon by score of 16 to and they are confident of making it two in row tomorrow. The Burnside team is greatly im- proved over the club of last year. The team is heavier and it has a faster backfield. The Pawnees. how ever consider their team greatly inn proved over the one that handed Burnside a lacing last year and this. they think, will offset any power the Burnsides may have added.
 The Pawnees will have a wealth of reserve material ready to use in the game. Bsiedes those men m IT. toned in the lineup the following men will probably sec service in the game: Mauro, Miske. Colossa, Raw agnani. Turner and Hating.
 Tomorrow's game is an important one from the standpoint of the Pawnee players because it is very likely that the lineup to face the Blues the following week. will be selected after tomorrow's game The two local teams are scheduled to battle for the city championship a week from tomorrow.
 The Pawnee players will leave the city by bus at 1o:45 o'clock. Anyone wishing to accompany the team is asked to be on hand early.
