The Brooklyns already hold two wins over the G. E. boys, both scored last season by close mar gins in q home and home meet. To-night's game will mark the first meeting of the teams this season, with another game booked to fol- low in Bridgeport later in the sea- son. With the return of Joe Swasey and Johnny Dunn to the Brooklyn squad, the teams chances of win mig over the strengthened Bridge port outfit are vastly improved. Last Saturday night, the local ar- ray defeated the able Manchester Guards but were not at their top form in doing 1t. Against the Hot points, who list three former col- lege stars, the Dumschott team cannot afford to slip for many min. utes. A preliminary game will pre- cede to-night's main tilt, and, valuable door prize will be given away by the visitors, as has been their practice this season in play ing away from home.
 Local Lineup
 Dunn and Ma1oney will start at forward for Brooklyn, with swasey at center, and Magner and Sheehan at guard. The game is scheduled for S:30 D. m. with Q preliminary contest an hour earlier.

 Bridgeport, Jan 20-Bearing n gift and plenty of basketball talent, the General Electric Hotpoints were off to Waterbury this after noon to face the strong Brooklyn A. c. five in the first of Q two-game homo and home series. The series is an annual fixture on tho pro- grams of the two teams and pros vides brilliant basketball.
 The series, banked as ono of the most important on the schedules of the rivals is expected to be as closely fought us that of last year in which the Brookiyns were able to gain two close trlumphs.
 At Top Form
 This season, however, the Hot points hope to come back strong and even up the series. The Bridgeport aggregation is sending probably it's best team in years to Waterbury to compete with the Brass City stars. With the addition of Freddie Schiller, former three- sport star at Renssa1aer Poly, and Al Childs, rated as the surest shot in Bridgeport, tho Hotpoints feel that they are due to triumph. Veterans
 These two men have made great difference in tho play of the Hotpoints and they should givo tho Brookiyns plenty of trouble. Jim Logan, Art Mckinley, Art Ahl- strand and Elliott Graham are holdovers from last season and saw service against tho Brooklyns.
 The Hotpoints will bring along q Hotpoint product as c door prize which is valued at S10. It is c rog. ular feature with the Hotpoints at homo and road games.

 From the German steamship Kiel in Tampico harbof, Tampico's sole means of communication with the outside world, came this radio message:
 Tt is impossible to imagine the extent of the tragedy. Parts of the city not destroyed by the wind are 10 to 15 feet under water"

 "Undoubtedly this is the worst disaster in the history of Mexico"

 But the problem was . difficult one. For vasconcelas to reach Tampico 1t was necessary to take a plane to Brownsville, Tex, on the American border, and then change to an amphibian for the flight down the coast. 25o miles south.
 The messages from the steamship Kiel were relayed by way of Vera Cruz and Villa Hermosa, and there was no other sources of fnforma- ton.

He published his first book in 1873 listing all the forms of islander from which Q man must guard himself. The book created sensation at that time and be- came a source of wonder to thou sands how the author had been able to write the classic book.
