(By United Prc~)

New York's Rangers have com. pleted one third of their National league hockey season with rec- ord of II victories. two defeats and four ties for go points as n result of scoring 63 goals In the i7 gameh while allowing their opponents only 27. The record K tho bes, over made by n New York team in carly season play and has given Ranger fans hope that their tenn will better the brilliant recoi q made by the Boston Bruins In l02D-30.
 The Rangers are trying for both scoring and defense records. but appear to have little chance of nt. thining their goal. Tho scoring record Of f79 goals was establish- cd by Boston In 44 games. while Inc defense record of 43 was made by Les canadiens In io28-20. Nice Work
 The Rangers improved their rec ord and moved II full points ahead of their American group rivals last night with n , to 1 victory over the second place Blackhawks. Bill Cook put the Rangers ahead with q goal in the second period and after Tommy Cook scored for Chicago, Dillon added . pair for the Rang. CTS.

AMERICAN BRASS
 MEETS SCOVTLL IN DUSTY ATTRACTION
Undefeated Teams Clash at Y Tomorrow at 8 O'Clock - Boards l ey Plays Chase

Undoubtedly, tho largest crowd of the year is expected to find it's way to the Central Y gym tomor- row evening. for the most promis- ing twin bill offered by the Indus trial Basketball league is scheduled for that time. Tn the first game at 8 o'clock, the American Brass and scovill quintets, undefeated in the pennant scramble to date, arc opponents while in the aftermath the Beardsley-W Wolcott cagers cross with Chase.
 The first game is the game league followers gave been looking for ward to all year. The Brass. de- fending champions, are the writer's favorites now that "Sonny" Maher and "Zockeye" Mccormack are ineligible.
 The feature attraction is also one that shouldn't be missed, for Gene Kurmltsky's B-W. boys will have their hands full if they figure the Chase outfit n setup because they lost their first two games. The two clubs are evenly matched and should have the fans on the dlglts throughout. Alden White will referee both games which will be followed by dancing.

Forty-six players have been killed this season.
 The Eastern Football Officials association, the eastern committee for selection of football officials, the Sportsmanship Brotherhood, the Football Coaches association and the National Collegiate Athle- tic association previously have had divergent and sometimes directly contrasting objects for their meet ings. But they're united this week.
 Different Ideas.
 There is less harmony on the means than on the end desired. Of- ficials and many coaches believe the rules need only q few minor changes. The N. c. A. A. rcputed- ly will seek elimination of the flying wedge" on kickoff. plays and perhaps the kickoff itself. Changes advocated by some leaders are opposed by others. But in the end 1t is expected that the meetings will unite in recommen- dations to the national rules com- mittee and that this committee will take definite action in Febru- ary.
 The fivc-day pow-wow- was opened officially yesterday with . meeting of eastern football of- ficials. The officials selection committee md the sportsmanshtp brotherhood are In session to-day. Tho football. coaches will convene tomorrow and the annual meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic association on Wednesday and Thursday will complete the pro- gram.
 Three plans for safeguarding of players were approved by the of- ficials at yesterdays meeting. A committee composed of Ed Thorpe. New York; Tom McCabe, Boston and A. W. Palmer. Philadelphia. was named to assemble the rule change suggestions and present them to the national rules com mittee.
 The association voted more stringent rules for admission to It's orgnnizntoin, thus assuring capable officiating for eastern collegiate games. It also volunteered to help associations Of high school and prep rchooi officials by sending members to address their meetings or to watch school games with an Idea of criticislng and improving tho calibrc of officiating.
 Active Suggestions.
 Officials appeared agreed upon tho elimination of the living wedge" tho return of the kickoff tee and tho setting batk of the kickoff from the 40 to the 90 yard linc.

(By J. A. C.)


 Terrible work from the charity the North End Thomas club yes- terday afternoon in the feature game of the City Amatuer league basketball double- header at the Waterbury Arena. Naugatuck's elusive Emeralds put the game in the gatchel by a 36 to 27 count. counting ii times from the foul line to for tho Tommies. Tn the other game, the silent Sacred Heart orray dropped n 26 to 10 decision to the Darlington clan in a con- test that was real close up to the final five minutes.
 A Little Behind
 In the Naugatuck-T -Tommies game the winners kept just enough ahead of their opponents to make it hard for the Conroy tribe to catch up. Eight or nine nonscnsicaI fouls for which there was no apparent req son, and which the Emernlds quickly converted into points were chnlked up against the TommieA who kept Just a little behind from start to finish. Though Johnson and Poscavage did the heavy SCOT. Ing. 1t was Sam borski, Rozint and digger Gogglns .who put on the real performances during the con- test. their work on defense being nothing short of brilliant.
 Why Bossy Hnrnick was kept on the bench go long provided room for speculation. innsmuch as hc certainly did more than his shnre while he was in action. counting six points and playing n whale Of n game on defense.
 Strong Finish
 The Darlington Heart game was nip and tuck throughout 35 min. utes Of play. with the winners pulling awny during tho last Ave minutes due to some sharpshootlng by Henry Darlington. Smithwick wns the outstanding defensive player.
