HOLYOKE GIANTS ANXIOUS
 TO DEFEAT NEW BRITAIN
Risky" Feldman to Lead Classy Quintet Against Home Club at Stanley Arena-Former Bristol New De- parture Stars Included In Lineup Locals Heading for Sixth Straight Victory-Regulars All In Shape for Hard Struggle-Start at O'Clock

If ever a basketball team was anxious to win a game especially from the New Britain quintet, 1t Is the HoIyoke Giants who appear against the locals at the Stanley Arena tomorrow night in the fea- ture contest of the night. Led by Risky" Feldman who is poison to New Britain basketeers, the Paper City contingent comes here con- ndent that for the first time this year, the colors of the New Britain crew will be spiked.
 F'eldman is taking no chances with the quality of his team. He has gathered around him players who. in their respective positions. arc aces. He will play one forward with Tommy Gaughan or Nelson Crowley, late of the Bristol Endees in the other. The graceful "Jiggs' Donoghue. who single handed has defeated New Britain on several oc- casions while he was one of the minstays of the Bell Towners, will jump center. In the guard posi- tions will be two of the best per formers on the courts last year, Graeber and Torno of Plainfield.
 Judging from the individuals who make up this combination. New Britain is in for a hot session to- morrow night. The locals have al- ready run up a straight string Of five victories and. needless to say.

 Playing his first game with the local club. Williams lived up to all the nice things that have been said about him. He injected new life into the New Britain players, hammered away at Bill Rlount in the Water bury cage, caged nine of New Brit aims 12 goals and otherwise played like man gone insane all through the three periods. Outside of that, Williams didn't do anything.
 The first period was a heart breaker and it was another shining luminary of the hockey world that caused many a New Britain heart to skip. The gentleman in question is one Davies, clad in green. and T flash of the brightest magnitude.
 With abruptness. seven seconds after the game began. Williams cag- ed the first counter of the game for the home team. After that. no one had a look in with Davies. Four times in sucC nsSion he went to the we'll and came back with full pitcher FoU" times he scooped the ball past WeIch to give Waterbury 2 lead 10 l. Williams again came through for New Britain but before the period had ended. Davies made himself more hateful to the New Britain partisans by getting another making the count to at the end of the period
 New Britain had started with Porregrin going to the spot. Williams in second rush, Thompson in center Doherty in halfback and Welch ir the goal. Coming out for the ec- ond frame, the team lined up with Thompson and Williams on the rush line. Gazzinga at center. Dohertv al half and Welch before the cage.
 What a team that made, Second only 10 Williams who was the out, standing star Of the game, Harry Thompson raced and cut. passed and drore and himself chinnrd in vitf three goals for the home town. I'm mediately the bombs started 10 hoolr and New Britain started 10 climb.

Out for revenge following it's one sided defeat at the hands of the Burritts Wednesday evening in Sims bury. the Simsbury basketball five will come to this city tomorrow eve- ming to meet the Burritts in a re- turn game at the Stanley Arena. The Pennington Valley champions are still smarting from their inglor- ious showing against the local team and hope to even matters up.

All of the regulars on the visiting aggregation tower about the six foot line and make an impressive showing on the floor. The upstaters were undefeated until they met the local team. and on the large Stanley Arena floor they are confi- dent of winning.
 The Burritts are driving toward the state semi-pro title and expect to repeat their victory over the Sims bury aggregation. The pass work of the locals left nothing to be desired Wednesday evening and following three days rest. the five expects to be in the pink of condition.
 Manager Ken Saunders will prob ably start Yakubowicz and Luke at forwards: Saunders at center. and Arbour and Darrow at guards. Joe" Jasper. hero of Wednesdays game, Havlick and Luty will also be ready to take the floor when called upon. Tho game will start at s o'clock sharp.
 Saunders announced today that he had booked the strong Meriden Com munities, state semi-pro champions of 1s27-2s. to appear at the Stanley Arena a week from tomorrow. As the Burritts were among the few teams in the state to defeat the Com- munities last year. the Meriden ap- gregation will be out for revenge.

WILLIAMS CAGES NINE
 GOALS AS LOCALS WIN
New Britain Hockey Team, With Star Rush In Lineup, Scores F to Victory Over Waterbury - Former Merden Star Shows Dazzling Speed-Paired With Thompson On Rush Line, Combination Is Danger. ous Scoring Machine-Davies Visiting Star.

Time after time. Blount in desper- ation, shot from the cage only 10 have Williams scoop the ball by him. Even, on one occasion, as he was going down to the floor with Blount catapulting at him, Williams caged the ball. One of the prettiest shots of the season was slipped in by Will llams. Thompson drove to the cen- ter of the floor. Williams was skat- ing towards Waterbury's goal. With q delft twist of the stick. Williams caught the ball in mid-air and de- flected it like bullet into the cage.
 Not far behind Williams in sensa- tional goal getting was Waterbury's s star. Davies. one of the best in the game today. He shot goals by Welch last night that were impossible to stop. One of the best shots ever seen here was a crashing drive that he sent into the local cage. He was cir cling away from New Britain's cage when the ball came and with a back hand drive, one of the most difficult known, he sent it straight and true to the nets.
 Roller hockey is art when two such men as Williams and Davies oppose each other.
 No less did the other members of the New Britain team star in their respective positions. Harry Thomp- son is, without doubt. an ace Gaz- zinga played whale of a game in center while Barney Doherty stamp cd himself as the peer. as we'll as the veteran. of halfbacks. The ma jority Of stops that Welch should have gotten in the cage were stop ped by Barney Welch in the goal. made a poor showing in the first period but in the second and third frames. he hit the form that made him great goalie some years ago and he stopped drive after drive.
 On the Waterbury team. Eddie McAloon paired nicely with Davies. little more experience and Eddie should reach stardom. He passed neatly showed plenty of speed and drove with the spice of a veteran at tho New Britain cage. Red" Don- nelly. as ever, played consistent game but he couldn't do much against New Rritain's attack. Hebert played a good game but was out witted entirely by the New Britain forwards.

.C0Rb|N TEAMS ID
 BATTLE TONIGHT
Family Clash to Feataure Indus
 trial Basketball League
T0night'S Games


 Landers vs. North & Judd (girls). Landers vs. Fafnir (men) Cabinet vs. F. X F. Corbin (men.) Two of the oldest rvals in the
 Industrial Basketball League are neighbors. Corbin Cabinet Lock and
 P. & F. Corbins These two teams
 will meet tonight for the first time this season at Tabs hall in the final
 game of three game card. I.anders is to be represented in the other two games. The girls team will face North X Judd and the men will bat
 tie with Fafnir Bearing.
 Comparing the teams 1t would
 seem that the Cabinet Lock team is
 a much better bet for the game. but
 consideration must be given the fact that although P. X r. Corbin lost three games. two Of them were hy one point and a determined second- half rally nearly won in the third. Cabinet Lock has played three Of
 four places in the league standing and won the games. It will play the fourth when 1t battles the P. & F. Corbin outfit. This will be a real test for the Cabinet Lock men. They have lost one game to the Stanley Works but have won all the rest of the games. Some of the fans are in- clind to believe that the Cabinet Lock team has been lucky because
 Of its schdule but tonight the team will go on the floor determined to show it is a winning outfit. Practically the same players who have been regulars on both teanN since the beginning of the season will be started.
 Out For Second Placc Determined to return to winning
 form and deadlock the three who
 are now in a triple tie for second place. Fafnir Bearing will face
 Landers in the second game Of the night. Much of Landers' success
 wlli depend upon how much over confidence the Fafnir team will have
 in the game.
 It is expected that much of the
 early season confidence will be lost
 to the team following its setback by the Stanley Rule quintet last
 Friday. One of the weak points Of the team Is its proneness to foul.
 An average Of two members Of the
 team generally has three fouls each when the half time intermission
 comes around.
 .anders has not won game so
 far but the team play is improv- ing and when some of the teams
 best scorers find their eyes greater success should be met.
New Britain herald., 1928-12-14

Continued improvement is show ing every time the North & Judd team appears on the floor and the quintet is expected to show the best form of the season against Landers girls tonight. Jimmy" Reynolds who coached the Landers girls dur ing the latter part of last season will be on the opposite side of the fence tonight when he will be d. recting the Bucklemakers. Many Of the tricks he showed the Universals will be used against the team to- night.
 The first game will start prompt ly at 730 o'clock. the second will get under way shortly before S:So o'clock and the third game will start shortly after 9:3O o'clock. Billy Coyle will referee.
