BURR tt QUINTET
Set FOR BATTLE
Dick Kerr and Manchester Pban-
toms Play Locals Tonight

Dick Kerr and his Manchester
Arena this evening with the express
cd idea of bringing the long win
ming streak of the Burritt basketball
team to an abrupt end. Meanwhile
the locals arc just as determined
to win their 18TH game of the sea-
son and will put their strongest
lineup on the floor. With the ira
ditional rivalry of Manchester and
New Britain behind them. both
teams should put up bitter battle
from beginning to end.
The game this evening will be in
the form of re- wal of New Brit
aim Manchester games after a lapse
of two years. Various combinations
from Manchester gave the Burritts
plenty Of trouble two years ago at
the state armory before succumbing
before the fast offensive of the To-
Gals.
Kerr is regarded as one of the
best players in state scmi-pro Cir
cles and possesses an eagle eye
from the floor. He will give the
Burritt guards plenty Of work dur
ing the evening if he is anywhere
near form. The rest Of the visiting
aggregation is composed of former
Manchester High and Trade school
stars who form fitting mates for
Kerr. Last year the Pha, tom team
swept through a brilliant season aOJ
captured all but one Of its battles.
The team has made an suspicious
start this season.
The Burritts have been tossing
baskets into the nets regularly every
and have defeated all tGeir
opponents by one-sidcd scores. .eost
of the battles have proven to be
mere workouts for them and it Is
hoped that tonight's battle will be In
the form of stiff opposition.
The lineup will be as follows:
Yakubowicz and HaNlick, forwa rds:
Luty. center: barrow and Carlson,
guards. "Old Reliable" Gill and
Rose will also be ready for action.
The game will start promptly at
o clock.
