The Reymond Hillies with eight victories and two defeats to their credit will endeavor to chalk up their ninth win tonight at Hope- vile gym when they meet the Vagabonds in a return tilt. In the first meeting of these two teams the Hil1ies eked out an eleven point win and hope to again trim the Vagabonds tonight. The Hillies hold victories over some of the leading junior teams in the city in- cluding two victories over the strong Brooklyn Falcons and one apiece over each of the following teams: Chase Park Juniors, Hope- vile Leaders, Vagabonds, Pioneers, Naugy Acorns and East End Rovers. The only teams to trip the Hillies are the Raiders and Chase Park Juniors, but in a return game the Hillies trimmed the Chase Park team and when they meet the Raiders in the near future they hope to even, the count with the team from across the bridge. The Hillies would like to arrange game with any of the following teams: Central Y Sigmas, North End Y Juniors, Washington Hill Speedboys, Boys Club Spades or any other junior team in the city.

The situation is an odd one, and calls for keen consideration by those in authority. Last night the officials of the Industrial league decided to have the Chase and Scovill teams replay the contest, though the former did not protest the playing of Maher and McCor- mick last Tuesday night, but the players are said to be ineligible to play because they do not work at the Scovill plant just now, having been "laid off' because there was no work for them. Both boys were regular members of the Scovill team last season.
 Still Scovillites
 MT Hickman feels that because the boys are not Scovill employees right now, they should not be barred from playing with the Sco- will team in the league, fnasmuch as they are still considered Scovill- ties, though they are not working in the plant through no fault of their own, but will be given work there as soon as there arep laces for them. "It's bad enough for the boys to have suffered the loss of their work, without having their sport taken away from them, too, just because they happened to be laid off. I was under the impress sion we had 8 definite understand ing about them before the Indus- trial league season opened this year, and they should be allowed to play with the Scovill team as long as they do not work else where. In fact, I am considering having them play throughout the season even if we lose all games on a forfeiture basis because of their use as ineligibles."
 Managers Didn't Kick
 A significant thing about the en- tire matter is that, neither Chase nor Waterbury Clock teams, both of whom were beaten by the Sco- will outfit, with Mccormick in play, protested the game, because neither of the team managers wished to take advantage of the fact that the players were laid off from their work.

Last week Chase dropped a 28 to Is verdict to Scovill's, but follow ing last nights meeting, the game went for naught, as the tilt will be replayed at the conclusion of the first round. It appears that Scovill's used "Zockeye" Mccormack and Sonny" Maher, two ineligibles, in their lineup. Chase did not protest the appearance of the two, but league officials decided on the play off.

 P ar a d e
BY HENRY MCLEMORE Limited Press StafR Correspondent

(Un1te0 Press SGAu COErcSpOuuenCj
 New York, Dec 15-(UP)-NOw this writer is a renowned fence- sitter, one of the finest issue trad. dlers in the country, but he is forced to take sides in the Sidney E. Wood vs Samuel Hardy argu- ment now racing back and forth in the columns of Tennis magazine.
 He is for Wood. Despite the fact that Wood is 8 cocky, high hat, affected chap, an all-wool ex- ample of an athlete who thinks he's a lot hotter than he really Is.
 Sidney has often sorely tried me with his cock-of-the walk air, but somehow or another the fact that he is only 19 always tended to ease the large severe pain he gave with that I-am-the great Sidney B. Wood manner of his.
 It seems that if Henry McI-em-- ore, just poor, half starved sports writer could remember Wood was only 19, a Hardy. Davis cup captain, might have remem- bered 1t, too. But he didn't, and that's just why think he Is all wrong.
 HafOy, III dH AEtiSlC HI AOAAAcs urges that Wood, because of his nervousness before an important match. be barred from represent. ing the United States in interna- tional play, in an answer to this ar- ttcle Wood says that Hardy severe- ly criticized him during his Davis cup match with Bunny Austin of England, instead of encouraging him.
 Hardy, Wood says. told him he was no good, and had no chance of winning and looked like fool on the court.
 This writer would like to ask Mister Hardy what he expected from A 19-year-oid boy making his first stand in such a match. Did he expect a Cochet, mechan-- icai as a robot and cold as ice? Did he expect a Tilden. whose many years of campaigning make him all the more dangerous when the stakes are high, the blue chips on the table? If he did. the man ought to run, not walk, to his near est bookstall and purchase some reliable work on why we behave like human beings. and the such'
 In his article in Tennis Mister Hardy admits that Wood is one or the finest shot-makers in the game and needs only to learn self con trol to reach the top. Well, what better way can you name for Sid ney to learn control in an impor- tant match than by playing in i'm portant matches. Certainly, he couldn't learn by watching Mister Hardy explode in the dressing room.
 When the United States sent Wood and Shields abroad this wear they started an experiment that France tried with success. Cochet, LaCoste and Borotra aid not win the Davis Cup the first time they tried. Nor the second. Like Wood and Shields, they were youngsters when they started out, and needed the skill that comes only with experience. England did the same thing with Austin and Perry.

Glenn Balanda's Holy Cross ag- gregation again regained leadership of the K. of L. Community basket ball league, when they defeated "Whitey" Baron's Stanford array IT to 12, and thus break a tie ] for first place standing, in the fea- ture game of the night.
 It was easily the biggest crowd of the season to witness tho three games, and were also treated to Q fine lecture by Attorney Albert F. Politls, former great end of the Fordham university football team.
 The Stanford team played cham pionship brand of ball in the first two periods, letting Holly Cross down with only three points, while the former rolled up nine markers. However, the second half, the stan ford defense crumbled and Holy Cross emerged victorious by five point margin.
 Budrius who was graduated from St. Joscph's school just n year ago, and young Anthony BOley of Ann erican Legion fame, were the two stars for the Holy Cross team, and these two worked neatly to put across across the victory. Both gar- nered total of ii of their teams 15 points.
 Jackie Jokubauskas, who an- swers better by name of William, was the losers star bet, garnering | six of their points.
 The Cornell team which was badly crippled by tho numerous injuries to their players drafted three new men, John Focus, Albie Vaitukaitis and last but not least our ex-puglist, the honorable Jack Kelley, the Congress avenue sign pointer. With the insertion of this trio Cornell managed to find NOtre Dame on form, and the former breczcd through with a Fl to 12 victory.
 Capt. Adam Alulis of Cornell won the game single handed by tossing in 13 of the winners points, and being just one point more than the entire Notre Dame team could score.
 For the losers Vic GelgOt. cap- tain of NOtre Dame, featured with his shooting, garncring seven points.
 Winnie Dveleskis, star courtster of Notre Dame, received a bad sprain a week ago during contest, and was forced to witness the games from the sidelines. | The Princeton team led by Johnny "Bcthlchem" March finally woke up, and won contest, by defeating Yale 27 to 17. UnfOr- tunatcly. Yale was another team that had an or night last night, and the strong forces of Williams could not solve q way to stop the high scoring machinery of March
