The engineers and firemen also had
their pride wounded. In the old days

iSWEDES TAKE HOLD
 OF FIRST POSITION
Bury South Church by S6-16-
 Swedish Bethany Wins
Inter-ChurCh Standing

The Firth Lutherans assumed un- disputed possession in the Inter- Church baketball league on We'd nesday night when they decisively trounced the South Congregational quintet by 36-16 in a fast but one sided game. The defending state champions were in top form, their speedy passing attack being ren- dered doubly effective by almost un- erring shooting and their defense being Of such a solid nature that the losers were unable to penetrate it. The South church put up a sturdy fight but could do nothing against the barrage of shots which the Luth- erans put i'll from all angles and dis tances, while it's own shooting was badly off and most of the losses that did find the basket came out again.
 Nyborg and Hoist opened the scoring with long shots, and Hoist and Larson made it so before Rock wells distance pop gave the losers a score. Nyborg dribbled in to make it l0-2 as the quarter ended. It was l6-2 before Havlick climaxed a nice passing rush by scoring, and an in stant later Parker retrieved loose ball and made it l6-6. But Hoist started again and half-time found the count 22-8.
 Both teams effected changes in the second half and the scoring slow cd up all around. After Bell and Barta had made free tries good, the Swedes all joined in and ran the tally up to 3l-10 at the quarter and kept on to 34-10 in the final period. Bell finally broke loose with two sweet long shots in succession, but Erickson cut in for 36-14 and the game ended with free shots by Hav- lick and Mercy. A one-handed back slip by Berlin featured this period.
 Hoist played a whirlwind game for the winners, his floor work being especially fine and his shooting ac- counting for l2 points. Nyborg also featured the attack, while Carlson and Larson sewed up the South church forwards almost completely. Bell and Rockwell topped the losers. who were particularly bad on foul shots, putting in only four out of l6 attempts. The summary:

The Swedish Bethany team climbed cut Of the cellar when it just nosed out the St. Marks Epis- copalians by 20-19 after hectic game which was close all the way. It was the first Bethany victory of the season. Three baskets by Torello and one by Barnes gave the losers the second Wally Anderson made five points in q row but Torelo and Barnes made it 12-5. from where it adNanced 10 12-3 oil Franks basket and Anderson's foul.
 w. Swanson got q foul and An dcrson another basket as the second half opened and then Franks gave the Bethany team the lead with one of his chara cteristic shots from way up the floor. & SWanson's point made 1t 14-le as the session ended. Carlson lifted the count to 16-12 in the final period, but three fouls by Sorrow and Torello brought the Episcopalians close again at 1915. Carlson and Franks apparently sew ed up the game with basket each. only 10 have Torello score two long shots within a few seconds. This. however, ended the scoring, and the Swedcs won.

LARGE SQUAD OUT

Ten Basketball Players Report
 for First Practice

A squad Of 10, including three players who wore the uniform of I.anpher's New Britain basketball first workout of the National Guard squad at the state armory yesterday morning.
 Those present were Johnny Shee- han and Frank (Hank) Arburr, who shared the guard duties on the New Britain team last year, and Ray Host. who was substitute center. Others on the floor were Mickey Luke. one or the best industrial league players up until this year when he resigned from r. &- F. Cor bins 10 take a place with the Con- necticut Light H5 Power Co.,, and Emil karbonic. Kusswin and Sacred Heart player This group lined up against the following team:
 Alden Hewett, Stanley Works center; Isadore Ikowitz, one of the New Britain high schools two act ing captains last year; Bill Rice, Fafnr Bearing coach and former navy player; Ben Saunders, former National Guard reserve and indus trial league player. and Frank Gre zenzo, present member of the Ian dcrs team.
 The boys showed plenty of form in the work out and if q forward combination can be arranged 0 work in with the three former New Britain professionals the team should be a hard one 10 stop. Of those who were present yesterday Mickey Luke appeared to be the best forward bet. karbonic. who worked in with the team showed skill in the teams style of play and may be big number in the games. It is expected that q larger squad will be out for future practice ses sions.
 It seems practically certain that ncsday nights. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights are drill nights for the three New Britain National Guard companies. Tuesday and Fri day industrial league nights. Satur- day night is set aside for Lanpher's team which performs in the Stanley Arena. and it is not the intention of the National Guards to compete with the otRSr professional team in tn" city.
 The team will be conducted under the auspices of the National Guard companies. There is d rumor that Ray Anderson, coach of the Boys club team, will take the team in hand. According to indirect inlor- nation he is quoted as saying he would not have time to take over | this work. Coach Anderson has been unusually successful with inc Boys IclUub team and he would do much i with this quintet, it is believed.

NOTRE DAME ID MEET ARMY TEAM
New York Becomes Center Of
 Football World Tomorrow

New York, Nov. 29 LP-New York became the center of the foot ball universe today as Notre Dame and the Army moved toward Yankee stadium for their annual battle to- morrow. Although the unattached public was practically shut out in the distribution of S0000 seats the Irish-Cadet classic this year seemed 10 grip the imagination Of football followers in the city to greater degree than in any previous season.
 The Notre Dame team was due for an early arrival here today and practice session at the 1arkee stadi- um in the afternoon. The Cadets contended themselves with a pro- gram which called for shift of their forces from West Point to Travcrs Island. x. Y, the country home Of the New York Athletic club on Long Island Sound. The Army was to have a light drill and to re- main in seclusion on the island un- til just before game time.
 Although facing the game with out the services of Tim Moynihan, star center, Notre Dame remained a prohibitive favorite over the eastern eleven. but the Cadets clung to the hope of an upset to spoil the up-to- now perfect record of their dearest foe.
 Despite the apparent disparity in the strength of the teams, tickets were practically unobtainable at any price. Spectators held very few and these were quoted all the way up 10 slO0 pair, with owners hold ing out for even more money.
 Still other important games will be played in the Atlantic coast sec tor tomorrow. Indications at Phil adelphia are that almost 10000 will enter Franklin field to watch the Navy and Dartmouth close their seasons as Villanova and Temple struggle before another large crowd in another section of the same city.
 Up at Boston, all eyes will be upon the annual struggle between Holy Cross and Boston college where two evenly matched elevcns wilt fight it out. The fact that Fordham already has run off with the east ern Catholic college title as well as high ranking in the general eastern field will taken nothing from the drawing power Of the annual classic of the old Jesuit rivals.
