On the rush line, no comment hardly need be made about Kid" Williams. This year. however, he seems to be hitting tho ball harder than ever. His drives have been laundering against the banks at the stanley Arena. like cannon balls against the bulwarlls in the Civil War. Tho goal tender that keeps his drives out of the cage is doing q weeks work in one night.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-27

Pierce is fast, q good skater and he can handle the ball. Formerly two opposing players could ride Will Hams all night Now. if this is done, Pierce scores the goals giving New Britain double threat on the rush line.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-27

All in all it appears this season as if New Britain has the best team since tho game returned to this city. The club is popular and it now stands in its rightful place, at the head of the league. On to the championship.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-27

New Britain'S record of wins and losses is not as good as other teams. answer to this is that the other teams in the state haven't been pick ing the tough spots that New Britain has had this year. When q team plays a line of games that includes contests with the Brooklyn Nisita- lions and the Renaissance, it is no surprise that it gets beat two or three games. Out of seven games played so far, New Britain has won four and lost three.

But a great deal can be said about the playing of Earl Pierce, Williams running mate. When Pierce formerly played with New Britain, fans here didn't care so much for his style. Teamed up this year with Williams. Pierce has filled the breach in excellent style

Basketball fans in this city are going 10 turn out in droves to see the Atlas quintet play here Saturday night. The closeness of the first game was an absolute surprise to those in attendance and another good battle is predicted this week. New Britain's reorganized team will be put to q great test during the game.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-27

Looking over the various combin- ations in the league, New Britain appears 10 have one of the best playing teams in the entire circuit. This comment is made in view of the fact that Hoff, the goal tender, is proving to be as good as any goal tender that New Britain has ever had.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-27

New Britain has defeated the ChlNslcr Rcdhcads. the Holyokc Mo- hawks. Bristol EndecS and Atlas and has lost to the Bristol EnGccs, the Brooklyn Nisitations and the Rcnais- SGnCc team.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-27

The best tricksters in the game have been having difficulty in get ting the ball past Hoff and when an opposing player gets a goal, he earns it every time. Hoft is in the game at all times 10 win. Give him look at tho specdiest drive and he will block it.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-27

My old friend sam Langford stuck his hand out to his opponent, an other gentleman of color. in the sec ond round of a l0-round bout.
 "Whats de matter?" the opponent asked. Dis aint' the last round.'
 "'Tis for you. black boy" sam responded. and he knocked him cold to make his word good.

Fans who have not been attending the games regularly, were Skcptical about the glowing praise being given lloff, but many who attended the game between New Britain and Hartford Wednesday night, came away satisfied that Hoff is as good as VIC have been saying he is.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-27

Teams might play careless polo against other clubs, but every one of them will be out 10 trim New Brit am. It appears that polo players, as a general rule, take q particular de light ill trimming the league leaders.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-27

By staying idle, the New Britain iahthcrs, the Hardware City's entry ih the American Roller Hockey League, has been sent into first place m tho standing. Tho local quintet was behind Hartford in the standing when the two teams battled here last Ncdnesday night. A victory over Hartford by New Britain failed to change the complexion of the league but last night, the Amsterdam team pinned defeat on Hartford and New Britain went into the drivers seat.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-27

Whenever a team lands in the top position in the polo league, it has generally been the signal for the other clubs all to strive to dump it from the pinnacle. That is what New Britain fans can expect in the future games as regards New Britain.

LONDON, Jan. l-.-fP-It was
assumed today that the high coun-
eli Of the Salvation Army would
choose tomorrow a successor TO
General Bramwell Booth. who has
been voted unfit to command.
Foremost among those suggested
in army circles for the generalship
were Commander Evangeline Booth,
his sister. who heads the army in
the United States and led the vic
torious reform element, and Com
missioner Edward J. Higgins Of Lon
don. the army's chief-of-staff.
The generals next move was Gag
erly awaited. there being indications
il would be to carry the fight TO
the courts. The Daily Mail today
quoted him ms saying
Il haven't much money but 7 will
spend what / have in defending my
position.
Nothing will induce me to retire
from the position I occupy. II was

me by my father and il is not for me

Il will resist by every means in
my power every attempt 10 deprive

Should the matter reach the courts
il was assumed that legality Of the
councils action would turn on what
constituted unfitness.
The Daily Herald said interpreta-
ton Of the word ''unfitness' de-
veIoped considerable heat in the
council session.
The general has been i'll but he
asked a little time to recuperate. be-
fore decision as to his unfItncss
was made.
The general was judged unfit BY
a yote Of S. 10 5 after a council ses-
sion of fourteen hours. Every ter
~ritorial commander voted the gen
eral unfit except his daughter, Col
onel Mary Booth.
Every member of the council VAS

Conceptions of ce;a!

The last thing the truly religious theologian should
be afraid of is truth; and that is what DR.. Harry
Elmer Barnes of Smith college seeks in demanding
a new conception of God one in harmony with what
modern science has learned of the universe.
Those who insist conception of God that
was born in the minds of religious leaders of semi
barbarous people many centuries before the birth of
Christ may see nothing but sacrilege in pr. Barnes
challenge to the theologians.
But the more intelligent leaders Of religious
thought who see no real conflict Between science and
true religion, doubtless will welcome the challenge
Certainly truth has nothing to fear from full and
frank discussion of the meaning of God.
Creator who satisfied the limited knowledge of
thousands of years ago, when the earth thought
to be the center of the universe around which the
sun and stars revolved. might well give way to a
God as grand and glorious the lmitless cosmos of
today with its unnumbered univerSes tributary to
millions of suns, beside which our own sun is but
a pigmy.
We can see not only profit to religion ITSELF but a
growing reconciliation between the spiritual and
material unverses in general discussion of the
challenge Of Or. Barnes.
Humanity is not ready to abandon God as myth.
It wants God but in place Of Jealous yenegful God
modern intelligence wants and needs God of Love,
a God Of Truth, a God greater and grander than all
the multitude of universes modern science can dis
cover with IS biggest telescopes and its most vivid
Imagination.
The human mind can not be satisfied with Crea-
taE less glorious than His Gzsstiaa
