CHURCH LEAGUE
 OPENS TONIGHT
Three SchMdd Gan@ to Be
 Staged u '. M. C. \.

Three games which bid fair to be
 interesting will be played at the Y.
 M. c. A. tonight as the th.rd season of the Inter- Church. basketball
 league swings into action. The de-
 lending champions. the South Con- gregationaiists, will open the sched-
 ule when they meet their old rivals

 this team is as follows: Otto Bar

 Vessels. The Center church has not yet sent in its list, but it will prob ably have Leon Bradley, Eugene Brown. Russell Haigis, John Eric
 son, George Howe. Euclid Hartung. and several others. On paper 1t is the weaker team. but this church
 has the habit of upsetting the dope when 1t plays ,he South.
 The two Swedish entries will
 meet at s:30 o'clock in what should be one of the closest games of tho evening. The First Lutherans. who are out to repeat their pennant-win-
 ming feat of two years ago, have the
 following players from whom to choose their team: Hiding Bengston,
 H. Anderson, Eric Anderson. Axel
 Floden. George Hallin, Oscar Brick son. A. Anderson. Loren Larson. and w. Bcrglund Against this formid- able array the Swedish Bethany church has second strong team to pit. It embraces Paul Swanson, Har- old Carlson. swen Swanson, Gus Dahlman, Walter Anderson. Herbert
 Anderson, Elmer Johnson, Carl Sea- berg, David Swanson, and Clarence Olson.
 In the third game. which Is to get Under way at 9:1b o'clock. Tho st. Matthew's German Lutherans. rum
 ners-up last year. will face the Trim ity MethodistA The St. Mats will probably have Gustave, William. and
 Edmund Preisser and several others
 from the old team. while the quin-
 tet is said to have been strengthened
 by the addition of William Yankas-
 kas and ''Chief' Larson. The Metho- dist team, which always puts up .
 good scrap, will be selected from the following: M Gross, l.. Gross, Alden
 Hewett. Deining Hewett. George Heinzman, Merwin Johnston, A..
 karbonic. and William Eemmens. Jack Tobin will referee all three
 games.

Left Guard

Tonight at the Stanley Arena the Atlas A. c. basketball team of New Haven will make its first appearance of the season against the New Brit ain quintet in a regularly scheduled Connecticut State Basketball league game. This will be the last contest of the season for the home club be- cause tonight for New Britain. at least, the first half of the schedule will be finished.
 The Atlas have already cinched the championship for the first round of play. Having gone through the ranks of teams in the league with only one defeat chalked up against it, tho New Haven team cannot be beaten for first honors in the stand ing. This, however, will not effect tonight'z game because the Atlas and New Britain teams are deadly court rivals.
 Probably the greatest crowd of fans ever to assemble at the Church street sports emporium will be on hand to watch this battle of two classy court combinations. Interest fn the game has been heightened un- til 1t has reached the plane of being the blue banner attraction of the year.
 The yisitors arc bringing to this city the best collection of basketball talent to represent the New Haven club in several years. Sammy Pite. former Yale star and mainstay of the Atlas team in it's leanest years. and Cohen, . newly arrived star on the basketball horizon. pair up in q neat forward combination. Trupin jumps center and he is efficient and fast. Chadys. he who has been known as "Zeke," and Gordon are tho guards and no team has better pair at the present time.
 New Britain will present its lineup with Johnny sheehan plugging the hole at forward as Sloman's running mate. Jimmy Zakzewski will jump center with Captain "Butsy' Sturn and Tom Leary in the back court.
 New Britain fell before the at tack of the Atlas in the first game played at New Haven this year but spectators at the contest felt that the local club played on the floor as we'll a1 the winning combination. However the game may result. to- nights contest is sure to be battle.
 The Corbin Screw and Stanley Works girls will meet in the prelim- mary game. a contest in the Girls Industrial league. This will start al o'clock with the main game get ting under way at 9 o'clock.

Az he drove home Eddie carried
q hurt feeling in his breast. 1t
grieved him to know that he had
been an unwelcome guest In Ma
rian Thorndike's home. That her
fathers prejudice against him was
senseless made the sting Of it no
more less severe.
His first impression OF the old
gentleman had been one Of amia.
Bile gentility, ana II was bitter to
realize that SO far as Eddie Regan
was concerned Mr.. Thorndike's
courtesy and charm would ever.
be curdled and turned to gall. A
gigantic perplexity stalled his de-
termination. Obviously, he could
not hope to keep up any open and
pleasant relationship with Marian:
pride forbade him ever again
thrusting himself into "a house
where he was not wanted.
Yet it was equally impossible to
give up his dreams about the
girl. If he wiped her out OF his
conscience the whole Of life would
be without zest, without meaning.
But there was no point of attack,
no way to rush in land contest
for his hearts desire. He was

Eddie was swept with painful
astonishment. He thought his
own secrets locked up in his own
breast and he was startled to
find them common property. But
there was a thrill. too-almost
happiness in Tobe's news. If
Marian and her father had quar-.

that she had ranged herself on
his side Of any controversy.
"V'hat did you hear, Tobe?
