 Two teams which have been going at top speed of late will have it out for honors in the Y. M. C. A. Indus- trial Basketball league when Corbin Cabinet and Fafnir Bearing team decide which is to go into fourtl, place tonight at the Stanley arena.
 On paper both teams seem to he evenly matched. Cabinet is one of the strongest defensive teams in the league and Fafhir has a group of scoring players in it's lineup. The game which will be the final Of tha evenings entertainment should be a contest between offense and defense.
 The other games will see P. X r. Corbm in q contest with the Stanley Rule team. The Lockmakers will be without its full strength again this game. Mickey" Luke who was lost to the team for month previous to the last game Corbin's played re- ceived an injury to his elbow and iS now at the New Britain General hos- pital. Previously it was a knee in. jury that kept him from the lineup. Rockwell will probably get the call for the place.

 BRISTOL ENDEES
New Britain Battles Bell Town Team Wednesday Night

New Britain and Bristol will clash again in the State Basketball league in Bristol Wednesday night and the Endees are going to put up desperate fight against the Hardware City quintet in an effort to stave off a fourth straight de- feat. New Britain took Bristol into camp twice in succession during the first part of the season and last Wednesday night the local team repeated the dose in good measure. Bristol was made to look poor through the great playing of the New Britain team but with John son and Feldman working together in the forward berths. New Britain is liable to meet unexpected opposi- tion.
 1 The Endees will have besides this strength, "Jiggs" Donoehue at cen ter. Donoghue, who rated as one of ! the best centers ill state basketball circles last year, has been playing a listless brand of ball this season but he will be expected to open up
 against New Britain Wednesday night. Manning and Crowley will guard the back court against of- fensive drives by New Britain. | Following it's sensational victory { h, t,-, of York in this city Saturday night. the New Britain team hopes to continue in the form it displayed all last week. The team was unbeata ble i against the negro stars and if it goes the same way against Bristol, it will increase it's hold on first place in the state league.
 Sloman and Rubenstein. who arc finally being recognized as the best
 forward combination in the state
 will occupy their usual places. Jim
 my Zakzewski. the sensation of last Saturday nights game, will be at center with Sheehan and ieary at
 guard.
 4 large number of fans from this city are planning to attend the gam
 and most of them are willing to stake the long green that the home
 town club will come through. \
 preliminary will be played at s | o'clock with the main feature being
 staged about 3 o'clock. Both con-
 tests will be played in the Bristol High school gymnasium.

DEMPSEY ID BE
 READY BY FALL
Elimination Series of Battles to
 Be Continued by Rickard

New York, Jan. 31 UP The heavyweight dance of the would-be champions proceeded today with one of the principals sitting out a num- ber
 From far Los Angeles, yesterday, Jack Dempsey served notice he would not be ill shape for a titular tiff until September owing partially to an injury to an eye. Dempsey emphatically declared he would be in condition by fall and that he an- ticipated no difficulty in coming to terms with Tex Rickard for a bout with the ruling king of the heavies. Gene Tunney.
 Despite the temporary absence Of the Manassa Mauler from the ring. Richards revised elimination series will go on as scheduled, John NJ. Chapman. Richards assistant at Madison Square Garden. announced. Chapman said he talked with Rick ard by telephone. receiving word from the promoter at Miami Beach that the survivor of the approaching eliminations would be pitted against Champion Tunney in June.
 The principals of this elimination series are Jack Delaney and Tom Heeney who tussle on March l and Jack Sharkey and Johnny Risko who will battle March 12. Now that Dempsey has declared he will not box until next September, the win ner of the eastern tournament will be sure to fight Tunney. Chapman said.
 Previously Rickard had mention ed that he might match the elinina- tion winner against Dempsey in the event there were indications further eliminating would be desirable be- fore arriving at the championship affair.
 The victors of the two March bouts will be matched into the final of the elimination events to take place some time in April. All Of the bouts will be over the Is round dis tance.
 When Rickard started his first elimination bringing together Shar- key and Heeney, the bout was lc rounds, route Rickard later re- gretted. The bout ended in a draw. Rickard then compelled the boxeA of the coming contests to sign for fifteen rounds which is the cham pionship distance.
 Although Sharkey has a challenge against Tunney filed with the New York state athletic commission and Delaney a like def with the national boxing association. neither is re- garded to have serious bearing on the ultimate championship as the elimination will be the determining factor.
 Chapman added that Dempsey was being retained by Rickard for September bout against Tunney provided of course. Tunney success fully defends his crown in June.

the time taken out for repairs in- terrupted the battle at its most tn- toresting points and took away g good deal Of the enthusiasm shown by the fans at the start.
 Only two minutes were played when Art St. Aubin who has been playing in tough luck all season. was struck in the left eye by drive from Cid Browns stick. This was the same optic that had caused the game Hartford rush to spend a week in hospital but after treatment had been administered in the dressing room, St. Aubin came back. Hart ford, however, had lost good deal oi it's pep. X short time afterwards, Muirllcad caught a drive from Brown flush on the jaw and time had to be taken out until Pop" could get his bearings.
 Later on. Welch was hit on the thumb by the ball and he needed at tention while Lovegreen. Hartford goal tender. suffered a badly injur-
 
 against the cage by a drive.

 Bouchor took rebound on a try rom Muirhead's stick and scooped III the first goal Of the second period. St. Aubin tied the count but a short time after.

 Muirhead, celebrating the new .rriyal in his family and christened Pop by the fans, gave an inspiring eShibition Of defensive and offensive play i'll the game last night. He passed. hooked and blocked like the star that he really is and his efforts went long way towards giving New Britain the edge.

OAKLANDS BEAT
 CHRYSLER TEAM
Score Five Goals in Third Period
 Of Roller Hockey Game
League Standing

The Oakland Pontiac roller hock- ey quintet scored another clean cut victory in the amateur league pre- liminary to the New Britain Hart ford game at the Stanley Arena last night. This time. the league leaders scored their win at the expense of the Chrysier five. which now stands firmly in the cellar.
 The Chrysler quintet put up . marvellous battle for the first two periods and had | lead into the third frame of to 3. Judging from the speed at which the team travel led. 1t appeared a certain winner. However. this idea was entirely dis pelled in the last session when the Dillmen started . whirlwind attack and despite the fact that sitz, Chrys- Ter goal tender, emulated the antics of Bill Blount in the goal with 50 stops, the winners breezed through in high gear to take the verdict s to s.
 The Oaklands scored . total of fve goals in the last period. Dill led the attack with trio of screaming shots that plastered through Sitz's shin pads and nestled in the nets. At one time. he took the ball clear through the entire opposing team and. playing like & luminary of the game, carried the pill straight down the floor and scored.
 Harry Kieffer did noble work for the losing combination. He broke up plenty of passwork nicely with his mates on the, floor. Newell was a tower of strength for the winners on the offensive while Veley shone on defense. The work of Sitz in the goal was the best seen in the anna teur games so far this season.

like amount, and likewise in the
southwest and in the middle western
section. The fat prairie lands in the
Red River Valley brought higher
average price and larger total. Last
of all, when the state began selling
agricultural land in the cutover coun-
try, it got still better average prices.
And as it turned out, some of that
land was sold on a guess-a poor
guess at that.
Sixty millions so far accumulated
came of itself, so to speak. There is
no more coming that way, or only a
little more. There may be million
acres of agricultural land in the re-
naming state holdings which will
gradually find a market. There are
some odd lots of pine and larger
quantities of pulpwood.
But the rest of the $780, 900
which will eventually find its way in
to the state trust fund, if it is handl-
ed to best advantage, will come by
the sort of management and the kind
of planning and the development OF
policy that was needless, or neglect
ed, in the earlier years when the state
was picking up what lay on the sur
face.
In the last twenty years, the audi
