 Tonight at the Stanley Arena, the New Britain basketball team is due to meet another tough opponent 1h the Seneca Indians quintet of New York state. Not only will the visit ing team furnish plenty of work for the local baskctccrs but it will fu"- r,sh the fans of the city with one O. the most novel attractions ever seen here during a basketball sea son.
 Tho team has been collected from among the Indians on the Tuscar- ora and Irving reservations in New York state. The players are a. ways in the finest physical condition. This is due to the fact that in the summer months, they are engaged ir farming the lands given thcm under government grants on the reservations.
 The quintet is noted for it's stam- ina and staying power. The fact tlat in one month alone last SC l. son the team trayclcd $500 miles and played 2t games, stands out as Il feat that very few teams Wou.i be able 10 carry out, The quintet a5 that tlnle won Ii and lost cignt contests.
 Because Of thc fact that their operations have been confined most lN to Pennsylvania and points in the middle west, the team has never made it's appearance in these parts. Members of the Cleveland word championship team have rcCon- mcndcd the team highly and good battle is expected.
 New Britain will use the same lineup that gave the Cleveland crew q close battle last week. Thrs will put Sloman and Collins in tha fore court with Jerry Conway Ht center. Eichtmycr and Lcary Will play the guards. The game will bn- gin at 2 o'clock and will be follow 1 by dancing,
