developing some plan for cruising re-
servists which would be more produc-
tive of results than the present system
It was pointed out that IL turnover
were materially reduced and divisions
were composed OF a more skilled type
of individual there would be less in
clination to make change. It is recon-
mended in the report that the head
quarters divisions be abolished and two
division battalions be discontinued. OPP
position to making of any divisions a
part of battalion unless they are in
the same city is expressed.
While divisions now cruise mostly
during the Summer months, neverthe-
less cruising at other periods of the
year is recommended for those divisions
the majority of the members of which
cannot cruise during the Summer
months.
Commenting on the recommendation
in the report that all officers take a
correspondence course, the Bureau of
Navigation says that at the present the
Bureau of Navigation conducts a cor
respondence course in navigation, and
the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts
one for supply officers. It Is hoped
eventually, 1t is said, to extend cor
respondence courses to other profess
sional subjects. However, it Is added
that sufficient clerical assistance Is not
as yet available for this purpose. The
bureau also points out that the basic
law governing the Naval Reserve does
not appear to contemplate compulsory
training other than that prescribed for
the fleet class, consisting of Is days
training duty and the specified weekly
drills. The. correspondence course con-
Quoted by this bureau and the one for
supply officers are open to all officers

Navy.
The present distribution of officers
in the various ranks of the Medical,
Supply and Chaplain Corps of the
Navy, as a result of the passage OF the
equalization bill, has created a shortage
of officers in these corps in the ranks
of commander and lieutenant COM
mander. This shortage will continue
for some time. In order to provide ex-
perienced officers, particularly in the
Medical and Supply Corps, to I'LL head
of department billets on board capital
ships, the Secretary of the Navy has
directed that officers of the rank Of
captain in the Medical, Supply and
Chaplain Corps be ordered to duty
ahoat as ships officers as may be neceS-
sary.
Compilations prepared in the Navy
have determined the WIN
ners Of the gunnery trophies OF the
various ship classes in the Navy. The
U. S. S. Omaha, commanded by Capt.
Allan Buchanan, with Lieut. Comdr.
Eugene G. Herzinger as glInnery officer,
won the gunnery trophy In the light
cruiser class for the competitive year
ending June 80, 1929, while in the
cruiser class the gunnery trophy winner
is the U. S. S. Rochester, commanded
by Capt. Harry A. Balbridge. The prob
able gunnery trophy winner in the
auxiliary class is the U. S. S. Dobbin,
which vessel was commanded during
the year By Capt. Frank H. Sadler.
The U. S. S. Saratoga stood higher of
the two aircraft carriers in final gun
merry for the year, but no trophy is
awarded In that class. The Saratoga
was commanded at different times dur
ing the year by Capts. Harry e. Var
nell, John Halligan, jr., and Frederick

who desire to take advantage thereof,
and an increasing number of officers are
enrolling in these courses. However, 1t
Is thought by the bureau to be contrary
to the spirit, II not the letter, of the
law to compel officers to take these
courses In order to retain their stand
ing in the Naval Reserve.
The Bureau Of Navigation does not
look favorably on the recommendation
that battalion headquarters divisions
be abolished. It points out that the
headquarters divisions of the various
battalions are intended to include off,
GERS and men not required for rnobili-
zation on the designated ships for the
feet divisions. but required for the
peace-time administration of the bat
talon as a whole.
Discussing arnory facilities for the
reserve. the bureau says that it had
proposed f1ve-year program on such
construction. whereby all naval reserve
organizations would be provided with
ample armory facilities Of standard
design. but this program was not ap-.
proved by the department., due APP
parently to its probable financial inter-.
ference with other Navy projects.

MEETS YALE TONIGHT
Pennsylvania's Crack Cage Stars to Start All Over the Circuit Again Look For Victory.

New York, Feb. 19 R-Having trounced every other eastern inter- collegiate basketball league rival on their first trip around the circuit, the University of Pennsylvania s crack cage stars will start all over again at New Haven tonight against Yale.
 In their first clash at Philadelphia on January 5, Penn crushed the Ellis under 35 to 19 score. The pros- poets again are for victory for the Red and Blue but not by any mar gin as decisive as that. With the ad- vantage of playing on their home floor Yale should be able to keep within 8 few points of the undefeat- ed league leaders and even may pull a surprise by giving Penn her first defeat. Yale has not met defeat in league engagement at New Haven beating Dartmouth, Princeton and Columbia while losing to Pen',, Dart mouth and Cornell on alien foo-s. However the Yale guards must stop Joey Schaaf. something that no team has been able to do so far. Schaaf. with 62 points. had scored more than third of the taiIies Penn has run up against league rivals this season.

NEW BRITAIN TO BATTLE

First Place In American Roller Hockey League Should Be Definitely Settled This Week - Locals Invade New York City Tomorrow Night - Empire State Crew Returns Here Thursday = Hardware City Players Are Confident of Taking Two,

First place in the American Rol.
 Ter Hockey league will probably bs
 settled definitely this week when New Britain and Albany clash in . home and homo pair of games on Wednesday and Thursday night. New Britain goes to Albany tomor. row night while the Empire State team comes to his city Thursday. New Britain has apparently been unable to concentrate its fire on the opposition on its road trips and all of the ground that tho local team has gained by it's long string of vic- tories at the Stanley Arena. has been wiped away through its defeats on the road.
 Going into Albany Wednesday night. the local team will be beard. in5 the lion in it's den. The same holds true of the Albany team when it comes to this city. New Britain has completely outclassed tho for. mer Meriden aggregation on its last two appearances here but 1t has had the tables reversed on 1t whenever it has played in Albany.
 Tomorrow night. the local team will be determined to bring home . win. The entire squad will be pres. ent for the game and the full force of the New Britain attack will be sent against the opposing team. Williams and Thompson will be on the rush line with Gazzinga at cen. ter. Barney Doherty will play half. back with Pete Welch in the gsal. This combination appears to be un. beatable on it's home floor.
 Albany will present the two Pierce brothers, Earl and Steve on the rush line with Lund4ville at center, Morrison will play halfback with Eddie Barnikow in the goal.
 Thursday nights game here should prove to be banner attrac. tion as both teams are eager and anxious to win both games. The local fans are pulling for New Brit. ain to take the brace of contests. At the present time, the Hardware City crew stands just 8 half game behind Albany which Is riding high and mighty in first place.
