START SECOND ROUND
Two Games Are Scheduled as Last Half of Church League Opens al "N" Tonight.

The second round Of play in th1 inter Church basketball league will open tonight at the Y. NJ. c. A. with two games scheduled. In the first contest the South Congregational and Swedish Bethany quintets will face each other. Snarting under the defeat administered to it last week, the former team will seek to make 6 comeback this evening, for 1t knows it must win every game left on it's schedule to even tie the LutheranS for first place. The team will not be at full strength this eve ming, but 1t expects to have prac- tlcally the same lineup as that which humbled the Bethany team earlier in the season. A revamped Swedish team is predicted tonight, however, and the Franklin Square five hopes to turn the tables on it's previous conquerors. The game will begin at 7;30 o'clock.
 In the second game the tail-cnd St. Marks Episcopal team wiN at- tempt to halt the progress of the dndefeated First Luthcrans. This eNcntuality seems unlikely, but the St. Marks made a fine stand against the Bethany last week and expect to have a strengthened team ready for the Lutherans tonight. The Lutherans on the other hand, will be minus several of their best play CTS. but they arc confident of vic tory despite this.

 Schools that used to be broke now have money, particularly the small institutions, because they adopted the night plan for football,' ,'' Kaiser said. "Why not night base ball? It will draw and offset the use Of the auto and give the working man chance to attend"

 Colossus Cotter gracefully drew an | ncongruously small handkerchief across his florid and mottled brow | as he smiled over his good afore, thought in keeping his Holsten lieutenant out of the New Haven game the night before that he might the more ficrcely assail the New Britain leaders and fill the New i Britain cage to the brim with balls, and so filled with satisfaction, the | Hartford players and the Hartford audience watched for the referees signal to commence the second De. riod

 Russell tied the score at the out. set, and then when his sturdy part ner, McGiIyrav, sent the New Brit aims ahead, the rooters from this scc- ton let loose their enthusiasm. The rear had not died out when Russell sent the champions further ahead by a drive at Cashman which made him wish he had job shovellinp snow somewhere. There was TIC longer any doubt about the result even when Mooney managed to score for Hartford. for the Jean -McGily. ray Russell assault brought two more and clinched it.
