 P. & r. Corbin vs Corbin Cabinet.

 Landers vs. Stanley Rule.
 Interest in the P. X F. Corbin Corbin Cabinet Lock contest in the Industrial basketball league tonight, is great despite the lowly standing O. both teams. A victory for the r. & r. team will place 1t up in sixth place and possibly fifth place where it will be within a short dis tancc Of teams. in the pennant fight.
 The Tabs hall will also be the scene of two other games when the Gascos will battle with the New matics and the Stanley Rule quintet will fight it out with Lahders.
 At the present time Fafnirs a"e at tho head Of the leagues sccon1 division but this team will drop oIt of it's position and will be rcplac'1 by the r. X r. Corbn team if the latter can defeat its rival from across the Orchard street bridge. Both r. X r. and Corbin and Cor bin Cabinet teams have been doing well of late hut a bad start at the beginning of the season was q scvAl e handicap.
 A blow has been dealt the P. < r. Corbin tcam. Pluck" Berlil stellar guard is confined to nis home with pneumonia and will be out for the remainder Of the season. His place will be taken either by Ben Paris or Freddie Feldman. Al though the National Guard team, of | which Ray Hoist is a member. is also playing tonight in South Mar chester, Coach Bates of the Corbn team does not expect 10 start the game without his star center, H. said.
 The Corbin Cabinet Lock team will suffer as the result of the cor- fliction Of dates, Billy Yankaska5 hard working guard. is a membc1 ot the National Guard team. and he will play in South Manchester | Coach Johnny Tobin has not decide: whom he will use in the guard posi-. ton. Another who will not be reaG, 1 to help his team is Ralph RecanJ Landers substitute. who Is managol Of the National Guards.
 This is the Stanley Rule team chance to score a victory and la aside all doubt as to the tie fo first place. At present there is question. Although both the Cor bin Screw and Stanley Rule team have the same number Of losses Stanley Rule has one less victory This margin can be overcome l, the Landcrs game. Corbin ScreS will be idle.
 The holders of the four last posi- tions in the league will see service but regardless of victory or dcfcs the only change can be brougr about if Landcrs win while Corbi Cabinet Lock is losing. This wou! put Landcrs in third last place an Cabinet will take l.anders' prcscl place in second last position.

 AMSTERDAM TO KEEP LEAD
Juggling of Standing Places Meriden Roller Hockey Quintet in Tie for First Place With New Britain Silver City Team Defeats Hurricanes - Hardware City Crew Invades New York City Tonight Locals All in Great Shape for Battle-Leave This Morning.
League Standing

In order to retain it's place at the head of the American Roller Hockey league, the New Britain Partners Amsterdam tonight. Last night Meriden topped the Hurricanes in Merden by the score ol S to and this placed the Silver City team half game behind New Britain.
 Several times of late, there has been a persistent Juggling of the figures in the league standing. After last Thursdays game in this city the standing was revised to leave New Britain and Meridcn tied in games won and lost Then, Sun day afternoon. New Britain defeated Amsterdam while Meriden lost to Albany. This put New Britain a full game ahead of MeIidcn. Meriden won last night on it's home floor and President Keane this morning has both New Britain and Meriden tied for first place when. if last weeks standing is correct. New Britain in reality is q half a game ahead of Meriden.
 Officials of the New Britain club arc planning on taking up the maj ter with President Keane today 10 see if the right standing can be SC cured. The thought has gone abroad | that if New Britain cannot be beaten On the rinks, then it is going to he t defeated for the second half cham | pionShip on paper.
 According to the standing carried in this paper. a defeat for New | Britain tonight will put the Panthers and Meriden in a tie for first place. 1 However, New Britain faces the toughest proposition of the entire second half. Following last Sundays game here wherein Amsterda m
 walked off the floor and suffered a | forfeited game to go to New Britain,
 the ill feeling between the two clubs is blazing at white heat Amstcr i dam will be out to defeat New Brit

 But the strain told on the Con- necticut playec. He vas paired with Tommy Harmon, who was seven strokes behind. On the first eight holes Burke was forced to sec foui Of his six stroke lead disappear. To make matters worse. Harmon's ap- pl6ach on the ninth hole hit tile pin and stopped dead for a sure three. while Burke's ball was o5 feet away and off the putting su:- face.

 Cool as the proverbial cucumber Burke swung his p.;.s" and the ball ran over the line into the cuI2 for a very useful three, and an en- couraSing break that set Burke into his form of the previous day He won back those four strokes and another on the final half of tn. round, thereby beating his playing mate. and the rest of the field, foI the title.

ARMY PLAYS N0TRE
 DAME AT CHICAGO
Scene Of Game Shifted From
 New York at Request of College

New York. Feb. II tP--The 1o3O becomes Chicago's gain and New York's loss.
 For scholastic reason. the Rev. Charles L. O'Donnell, president of Notre Dame, asked that the game be transferred from the Yankee Stadium, New York. to Soldiers Field, Chicago. After a long con- ference yesterday, Army officials reluctantly agreed. The contest is scheduled for Saturday, November %.
 In presenting his reasons for the transfer, Father O'Donnell pointed out that under Nortc Danes orl einal schedule the Ramblcrs Woull play the Army in New York No- vcmbcr % and then travel 10 the west coast to meet Southern. Cali fornia at Los Angeles. DCCembSr G. Under this arrangement the Notlc Dame players would have lost more than two weeks from their studi"S Under the new schedule, with the Army game in Chicago, no study i time at all will be lost for the Arn.t game.
 Army officials, headed by Major General William K. Smith, academy upcrintendcnt, were opposed ,u changing the site for the game, es- peciallN in view of the fact that the l Notrc Dame game is the climax ul 1 the cadets schedule and has be- 1 come a fixture in New York 1 through q custom of years stanI- l ing. However, when Father O'Don- nell insisted upon the change an no other solution for Notre Dame 2 difficulties could be found, the Army representatives agreed to the change.
 They were influenced in this dc- cision, in part, by the fact that an- other big game will be played III ! Illinois contest November S. The cadet corps will attend this game and will be accorded the usual Notrt Dame game privileges.
 The Army representatives denied that any other factor but the sch. lastic one had led 10 the transfer C the game. After the last Notrt Dame game here, considerable jl feeling developed over the alleger failure of the New York police tt provide an adequate escort for th' cadet players on their way to tn l st diun1 the day of the game In deriving the dispute with city off cals it was hnted at that time WI
 dissatisfaction in some quarters ova the manner in which tickets for .h
 game were distributed.

SPRINGFIELD FIVE
 DOWNS BOYS CLUB
Locals Make Great Stand But
 Crack in Second Half

For two periods and part of a third the New Britain Boys club team played superb brand of bas- ketbaN last night and held the ad- vantage over the fast and heavy Springfield College Junior Varsity, but then the visitors staged spurt which lasted all the way to the final whistle. caused the home team to crack wide open, and brought vic tory to the Collegians by a 4S-22 count. The Boy State team was the fastest seen on the club floor this season and was really out of the locals class, but for more than half of the game a clever aHd accurate passing and shooting attack bafrled the visitors and prevented them from getting their own offensive go- ing. When it did come. however, it was unstoppable and allowed the visitors 10 run up the score in eX- press train fashion as the club tired and faded away under the assaults of the heavier outfit.
 Olmstcad's foul was the first point of the game, but kcrelejza took the ball at the foul circle. piv- oted, and shot a clean field goal 10 give New Britain the advantage. Geesman and Kerelejza- made one pointers and the latter topped an other basket. Nelson scored from the floor, Zembrowski shot a long goal, and Joyce made it 1-6 at quar- ter time. Olmstead went through 10 put Springfield ahead as the second period opened and the lead began to alternate. The club assumed it on Benjamin's careful long shot. Springfield regained it when Harris scored. and New Britain recaptured the margin on another pretty play with Benjamin on the scoring end, Grusha added a foul, but Olmstead dribbled through again and it took q folloW-up by Kerelejza to give the club the advantage by l4-12 at the half.
 A technical foul on Coach Ray allowed Harris to cut this in half in the third quarter, but Grusha made a field goal and Zembrowski and Grusha made fouls after Harris had put one in. New Britain now led by 18-l4, but the team was now tir- ing and, Springfield suddenly began the spurt which split the locals wide open.
 Joyce started it all by himself with three rapid fire baskets which gave his team the lead. Compag- none archcd a long shot through the nets for d tic score at @0-20, but that was New Britain's last tally from the field. X shot by Morgan put the visitors ahead to stay anG they led at 21-22 when the period ended Harris Joyce, Roughgardcn and OlmStead tore the local defense apart in the fourth quarter despite the sending in of replaccments while New Britain's only point oi the period came on q free toss by Compag gnone.
