|B0YS' CLUB DOWNS
 ST. ROSE QUINTET
Schmarr and Go1a Star-Re+
 serves TomahaWk MohaWkS

''Hermy" Schmarr, new scoring threat of the Boys club basketball team. finally broke loose under full steam last night and led the local quintet to an easy 40-27 win over the St. Roses of East Hartford in a somewhat one e-sided game at the
 East Main street gymnasium. Schmarr tore through the East Hartford defense for seven baskets. scoring six in the first half. during which he put up a brilliant exhibi- ton Of aggressive play and consistent shooting. Joe Gotfa, the other big club scorer, was held on the side lines until the second half, but then he went in and charged in for baskets almost at will.
 For three minutes and five sec onds neither team scored. Then Balf made good a free try, but Schmarr followed with basket only few seconds later and added three more field goals after Boukus had put in a one-pointer. It was 11-1 at the quarter. and Compagnone, schnarr. and Boukus made it 14-l before East Hartford got under way. The visitors then began to locate the basket and the tally was 21-11 at the half. Joe Goffa was shot ill to start the third period and scored twice within the first minute of that quar- ter. which closed with New Britain we'll in front at 32-15. The St. Roses made their most sustained drive in the final period. when it was too late, Powell making six Of the 12 points scored by the visitors in that session.
 Every man in the local lineup scored at least once, with Schmarr having the biggest night of all and Goffa keeping up the work in the second half. Captain Compa gnone popped in a trio of baskets himself and did excellent work on the de- fense. Powell was Hartford's big gun. shooting from all angles and frequently baffling Grusha by his quick shifts while dribbling through. New Britain started with three sub stitutes in the lineup and all did we'll. In fact, judged by the compara- tive scoring of the two teams, New Britain went better with the reserve players on the floor. especially in the matter of defensive play The sum- mary:

|SIAGG NOT READY YET ID RETIRE
Footballs "Gflld oN Nm"
 SlJ! He k Much Too Youn9

Chicago, Dec. { N1"Retire? Ab- surd! I'm . young man."
 This is what Coach Amos StaEy. the grand old man" of football. told the Associated Press today in answer to the persistent rumors that he planned to cap it day-his last day-on the sridiron.
 Why. I'm only 6s," Stasg chuck led. T haven't missed days prac- tice in years I've got as much pep per and vigor in me as any young coach I know. Ask my boys if I've still got the spirit and fire necessary to coach ! foothball team. Retire ? I've been on tho job for s7 years. and I feel as though rve got S7 more years left in me-"
 That Is the way the "old man" feels about 1t. And that's the way his leeions of friends and admirers, in the sport and out of 1t, wherever football is played. feel about 1t. "Chicago has just completed the most disastrous football season in its history" stagg admitted. And the prospects do not look good for next years team. We haven't the material at Chicago. We never shall have, as long as our entrance requirements and eligibility requirements are 50 high. l have known scores Of great college athletes who wanted to play football for Chicaso-but they went to other schools because they could not get in at Chicago or because they could not stay in"
 stasg refused to express his opin- ion on tho university's scholastic requirements-the secondary school average of s5. for instance. AS long as he is q member of the faculty of the University of Chicago. he prom ises to be loyal to its standards and regulations.
 So stagg is not going to retire. How can he. he asks, with his lS- year-old son Paul prospective football player? He'll have to keep right on the job. Coach Stags says, 'because if lay down. my boy might take . notion to do the same thing-and then I'd be out one foot ball player"
 Paul stagg won his numerals this season as quarterback on the fresh- man team. and shows signs of du- plicating his fathers great athletic career.

 | This week, the fight will go to a decision, whether it will be by a wide margin or by hair line. For this reason. both boys will appear in the ring in the best condition possible and each will be striving for knockout.

ELM CITY FIVE
 HERE SATURDAY
New Haven Basketball Team Anxious to boat New Britain

New Haven will attempt to stop the victorious march of the New Britain Basketball team Saturday night when the Elm City Five. d newly organized quintet of court stars, invades this city in the week. fly attraction at the Stanley Arena.
 Zeke Chadys, former Atlas star, will head the quintet from New Haven in it's attempt to cut short the winning streak of the Hardware City |crew. The remaining members of the team are all stars in their own particular circles. Some have been playing with semi-pro teams about Ithe state while others were the lead ing lights in the Industrial League. Chadys has joined the squad for cne lone reason. according to the re- ports coming here. He wants to play Al Sloman. local forward. Boastfully last Sunday. the New Haven manager stated that Chadys would stop Sloman dead. He knows aloman's style" the manager is quoted as saying. "and he will take care of that baby all right. He did tt every time that the Atlas and New Britain met and he has asked partic- ularly to be sent against him this coming Saturday night"
 The Elm City pilot was confident that his team will beat New Britain.
 He stated that the Atlas Five of New Haven would not be in the field except with junior organizatio this season and said that the Elm City Five is recognized as the suc- cessor to the green quintet.
 Manager Lanpher will use the same lineup that has downed three opponents already. Johnny Shee- hans knee was not seriously injured and he will be in shape to play Sat- urday night. Sloman and McElwain will hook up In their respective roles while Zakzewski will be at center. l.eary and 'Snowshoes" will pace the backcourt. Sloman will have his hands full with Chadys on his back all night.
 Arrangements are being made by Manager Ken Saunders of the Bur- ritt quintet for heavier and better competition Saturday night. The Burritts swept the Portland team before it with vicious attack last Saturday night and stiffer competi- ton is needed.

WRESTLING TODAY
 A HARDER GAME
Stanislaus Zbyszko Says Cotch Would Never Be CbamDion

Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 4 LP-The late
 Frank Gotch. who is the standard by which Wrestlers have been measured through the years since
 he ruled the mat domain, would never be champion of the world to- day in the opinion of stanislaua Zbyszko, oldest grappler in the
 game and one of the most ancient of competitive athletes in the world 1 today.
 Zbyszko believes that wrestling
 has advanced just as have other sports and that the Old Master would have found his toehold and
 half-nelson a little out of date in present competition.
 'I won't say who could have thrown him." Zbyszko says. but there are so many more wrestlers nowadays than there were back in his time: so many new and cffec- tive holds: men so much bigger and perhaps more powerful than old Prank that l doubt seriously that he would top them all." The Old Man does not openly commit himself regarding the prow- css of present day wrestlers. Asked how Ed Lewis and Joe StetcheF /. compare, he says only that" Lewis l was a fine wrestler few years back,
 but he's 43 now and may not be al good as then"
 | The Polish athlete declares that | wrestling has improved gradually
 since he first entered the game more
 than 30 years ago in his native coun.
 try. He deplores, however. the
 presence of certain holds, which he i says are mot wrestling holds but i simply invented measures of tor.
 ture."

HOPE FADES FOR a
TRAPPED IN SHAFT
Five Bodies Recovered From
Burning Mine-12 Die
in Massachusetts.

BY the Associated Press.
TIMMINS, Ontario, February H.
As the cage in shaft ii Of the bum
ing Hollinger gold mine made its fruit
less trips up and down the smoke
laden. entryway, hope faded today for
the A men believed trapped on lower
levels.
Through the night the wives and
children Of the imprisoned miners kept
vigil at the minehead, weeping ard
praying, but each return Of the empty
car dimmed their hopes. The car was
run on the chance that some OF the
men might win their way to the shaft
and survive the trip past the burning
550-foot level. They are believed To be
ON the level just below the fire.
Five Bodies Recovered.
Five bodies had been recovered. The
only two identified were those Of Mar
| tin Stevens. shaft boss, and Ira
Graham. Death had been caused by
| sutfocation from smoke and carbon
| monoxide gas.
A possibility that some of the A men
believed missing had made their way
| safely TO the top unreported. could not
| be definitely determined until a thor
Ough check Of the miners could be made
| today. Between 300 ana 900 men made
| their way safely out OF the mine ycster-
| day.
There were conflicting reports Of the
| source OF the blaze, the mos. authentic
being that II had started In pile of
| rubbish on the 550-foot level. The fire
was discovered yesterday morning short
iy after the day shift Of miners had
| gone TO work at 3 o'clock.
