 Jack Sharkey and Tom Heeney struggled through twelve rounds 10 draw in Madison Square Garden last night to the disappointment Of some 17.o00 spectators.
 The judges verdict left the pa irons and ring critics divided in opinion. the former believing the New Zealandei should have been awarde decision. On the other hand. the majority of ring experts picked Sharkey.
 Instead of the former lunging, crashing Sharkey the one that fought Dempsey. the fans witnessed a ,au- tious sailor mlI who had to exert himself to the limit to overcome a big lead piled up by Heeney.
 sharkey was far from the form he displayed against Manassa Maulel last July. After the second round, the Anzac put up savage attack, banging away with solid rights and lefts to the head and body which forced Sharkey to cover.
 The sailor tried hard rights on hut I,,st to take effect and by the fourth round Sharkey was becoming . steady target for the opposing heavy artillery.
 sharkey ran into a hard right smash 10 the head in the fourth round in irving to protect his body. and in spirited exchange, one of Heeney's blows ripped cut under the Bostonian's left eye.
 Heeney followed up his advantage in the fifth round and pummeled Sharkey with rights aind lefts to the body in close exchange. Sharkey tried to clinch but the New Zealand CT planted terrific right to the jaw which sent Sharkey reeling to the ropes.
 However, Haeney's pace slackened in the sixth round and Sharkey brought his dangerous left jab into action which found Heeney's chin frequently. In the next stanz4, Sharkey continued to show improve ment and when Heeney tried to evade the hard left, the Boston box CT unloosened a blinding axsort- ment of rights and lefts to the head.
 In the eighth. Sharkey continued to pound his opponent despite . game attempt by Heeny to drive in body punches. Heeney was taking about four raps to every one he landed. One of sharkey's lefts clip ped Heeney over the left eye open ing a gash which bled profusely.
 The rain of punches from Shar- keys two fists continued in the ninth and tenth rounds hut Heeney dog gedly kept driving in. Heeney rut up desperate battle in the closing two rounds.

|HOLYOKE MOHAWKS FORM
 BRILLIANT COMBINATION
Jerry Conway Forms Pivot Around Which Teams Work is Centered = Rubenstein's Presence Win Strengthen New Britain Visitors Have Conquered Renaissance Five of New York-New Britain Ma chine and Landers Girls Teams in Preliminary

One of the best basketball attrac- tions in this section of New Eng land will be seen in action against the New Britain State league team at the Stanley Arena tonight when the Holyoke Mohawks take the floor. The visiting team only recently con auered the far-famed Renaissance Five. colored champions of the world. and 1t has a long string of victories to it's credit since the open ing Of the present season.
 A glance at the lineup of the visit ing team will reveal that the New Britain quintet has a job on .ts hands if it is to win tonight. Jerry Conway. giant center of the Mo- hawks, rates high in national stand- ings as a center. He has many years of experience in fast company to back him up and he is the pivot around which all the HolyOke p:ays are worked. For his forwards, he has two of the speediest men in Massachusetts basketball, Frank and Jim Cassidy while the back court is roamed by Graeber and Torno, two efficient guardians.
 New Britain will be strengthened tonight over last week by the addi- tion of Rubenstein who left the team two weeks ago after disagreement. This difference was patched up dur ing the past week and a new spirit will prevail among the players on the team in tonight's game.
 With Rubenstein will be Sioman. star forward on the local team. Al has been playing a hard game this year and he will probably experience one Of His best nights tonight. Jin,- my Zakzewski will have the hercu- lean task of keeping Jerry Conway in control. Zakzewski played him twice already in the two Meriden Endee games and although he was unable to do any scoring himself, he kept Conway's efforts down to n minimum.
 The guard positions will be cov- cred by Sheehan, Leary or Sturm either one or the other combinations being used at all times.
 preliminary game will he play ed at o'clock between the New Britain Machine and Ianders girls teams in the Industrial league. The main feature will be started about 9 o'clock

COLLEGIATE PREP
 IN EASY VICTORY
High School Five Is ErratiC in
 Passing and Shooting

Starting off in poor form, and showing little of the offensive power displayed in the St Thomas game, the New Britain high school basket ball team proceed an easy victim for the Collegiate Prep. five in game played yesterday afternoon at the New Haven Boys club, the score being 39 to 25. The locals were er- ratio in passing and shooting in the first half and Collegiate ran up a i2-point lead. The Red and Gold came back strong extensively in the second half but was unable to stop it's opponents scoring. The floor was one of the poorest that the high school has ever played on and this. combined with the unusual size of the Collegiate players, gave New Britain a hard handicap to over come. The floor at the New Britain high, better known as the bowling alley" is wonderful floor compared to the New Haven court.
 Colleg giate started fast and ran up a five point lead on the baskets by Wexler before Saunders broke through to sink basket for New Britain. Collegiate dropped in an- other basket to make it's total seven at the quarter. Saunders registered another basket to bring the score z to 1. Here the New Havenites, led by Wexler. who appeared on the At las team against the New Britain team last Saturday, started fast offensive that swept the locals off ! their feet. The score at half time was 19 to in favor of Collegiate. Zaleski and Sowka scored New Brit aims three points in the second quarter.
 The second half was free scoring affair. The Red and Gold sharp shooters found their eye and began to drop them in from all angles but
 the Collegiate team matched them
 point for point and held onto the
 lead they ran up in the opening half The work of WeXler was the best shown by either teams His experi- cnce and height gave him a big ad-
 vantage over the rest of the play i CTS. He scored seven baskets and 8 | foul for a total of 5 points. Heyer. former Hillhouse star, also played
