With five victories under it's belt, the Burritt basketball team will swing into action again tomorrow evening when it clashes with the Hartford Speed Boys at the Stanley Arena. The visiting team is con- posed mostly of former high school stars and should provide plenty of opposition for the Burritt crew. The local team has not been defeated by d Hartford aggregation in three years and is anxious to keep it's slate clean against the Speed Boys
 The Burritts will be minus the services of Albert Havlick, regular forward, who is confined to his home with illness. However, the rest of Ken Saunders five is intact and is ready for a tough battle. The opening lineup will probably find Jasper and Yakubowitz in the for ward positions, Luty at center, and Darrow and Carlson at guards. Gill and Rose will also see plenty of ac- tion before the game is over.
 The Burritts have won 22 out Of their last 23 games and have won , straight. The game will start at o'clock and will be followed by the New Britain Bristol End ae game. The Speed Boys lineup will contain we'll known players such as Don" Hayes, Thomas Walsh, "Bill' Collins, Mandell and Lowery. These players appeared in this city last season as the Nutmegs and gave the Burritts a tough battle before losing.
