POLISH CATHOLIC
 GAMES ON TONIGHT
Special to The Democrat)

Naugatuck, Dec. 27.-The local Polish Catholic league basketball teams will play two games tonight in Polish Military hall, the boys team meeting the St. Stanislaus combine of Waterbury and the girls team battling with the girls team representing the Waterbury club.
 The two Naugatuck teams were walloped last week when they play ed St. Stanislaus of New Haven but one of the reasons for the defeat of the mems five was that some of the best players were not available because they had to work in the factories nights.
 However, tonight the local mems quintet will be represented by a fairly strong aggregation. Henry Cieslewski, Czaplicki, Soliwacki, Loman, Klonosk and Kryzkowski will be among the local players.
 The girls team seems to be im- proving gradually and although a defeat is anticipated, it may sur prise one of these days when 1t clicks. Both of these teams are newly-formed organizations.

BOSTON BRUINS AND MAPLELEAE
 IN OVERTIME TIE
Nip and Tuck Contest Bet ter Played Than Last
 Battle of Rivals

Boston, Dec 27-UP)-The Bos- ton Bruins gained third place tie with the New York Rangers in the American division when they bat tied the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 2 to2 deadlock in an overtime hockey league game at Boston gar den last night. The standing of the Leafs, leaders by a wide margin in the Canadian division, was not affected.
 The game, in contrast to prev ious meetings between the two teams, was marked by fast and clever playing, with just enough roughness to satisfy fans who lke rough tactics. Only one major pen alty, to Charley Conacher Of the Leafs for misconduct, was meteo | out.
 Three Missing
 The Leafs played without Irwin (Ace) Bailey, who is recovering from nearly-fatal injuries he re- ceiyed when the two teams last met here, and Red Horner, who was suspended for his actions in the same game. The Bruins were minus the services of Eddie Shore, who IS recovering from injuries received when struck by Horner after ne had chashed Bailey to the ice with a body checks. .
 Nels Stewart gave the Bruins a lead in the first period, only to have Charley Sands tie it up in the the second, and Conacher gave the Ta.fs lead in the third. The nnal score of the game was tallied by Red Beattie with less than two minutes to plaq An overtime period

KINSELLA SHELVED BY FRANK CARROLL. EAGLE MANAGER

New Haven, Conn, Dec 27-(UP) Ray Kinsella, right forward on the New Haven Eagles hockey team, to-day was under indefinite suspension for his part in 8 fist fight with a Quebec Beavers player at the Arena here Sunday night.
 Kinsella and Larry Molyneau, the latter one of Quebec's heavy de- fense men, were said to have ex- changed punches while on their way to the dressing rooms after the game, which was won by the Beav- CTS.
 'I won't stand for fights between hockey players" said Frank Car roll, Eagles manager, in announce ing Kinsella's suspension. "They are paid to play hockey and if they have inclinations toward prize fighting they can take out licenses and go into the ring"
 The trouble which precipitated the encounter was said to have been carried over from set-to when the Eagles last played at Quebec.

Kipke. chairman of the. coaches committee on rules changes, out lined seven possible changes to speed up the offensive in his re- port yesterday. Of the seven, the one which found the most favor with the coaches was:
 stOn first, second and third down permit a pass jn the end zone to be ruled incomplete instead or a touchback."
 Noble Kizer, Purdue, feels that adoption of this rule by the na- tional rules committee which meets in February would give the offense the edge over the defense.
 Aid to Scoring
 "Most teams have more trouble scoring from inside the 20-yard line in important games than from out side that zone," said Kizer. "If a quarterback knew he would not lose possession of the ball if a pass failed in the end zone, he would open up with more passes and con- sequently more scoring would de- velop."
 Most coaches feel that there is little chance that the rules com mittee will make any drastic changes this year. A discussion of the changes suggested by Kipke was expected to come up today, with a possible vote.
 Winding Up
 The coaches meeting will close tonight with the annual banquet at which Harry Kipke will be toast master. Dana x. Bible, Nebraska, will succeed Dan McGugin, Van- derbilt, as president of the Coaches association, with Bernie Herman, Minnesota, stepping up to first vice-president.
 The American Physical Educa- tion association opened its 36th an- nual meeting today, with George Little, Rutgers, presiding and the National Collegiate Athletic asso- citation will convene tomorrow.

Basketball Coach, Indiana Uni-
 versity

versity
 Basketball vernacular is steadily growing, but will never catch up with the vocabulary that belongs to baseball. Baseball is a much older game, and it's terms have become standardized.
 In various sections of the coun- try basketballsplays are called by different names. There is a great need for universal acceptance of standard or uniform terms. The basketbap coaches of the country have realized this, so in the meet ing of the National Basketball Coaches association in 1931-32, they voted to accept standard terms. These terms refer to equipment, play situations, plays and fundamentals.
 Following are accepted names for fundamentals, plays and play conditions:
 SET-UPS-Other terms used in different sections are: pot shots, gifts, snow birds, dogs, cats, sleepers, lay-ins, Sunday shots, lay-ups, suckers, crips, bunnies.
 TIP-OFF - Other names are: tap, center jump, center tap, center tip, center toss, jumpball.
 HELD BALL-Not jumpball or toSs-up.
 BLoCKING-other terminology: picking off, smothering, spiking, checking, brushing.
 FREEZE = In some sections called: bulldogging, stall, delayed offense, back court game, back court stall, keep away.
 SHIFT-Formerly called: switch, change, trade, slide.
 ZONE DEFENSE-Known by these names in different sections: ball defense, territory, mass, set, rubber band, accordion, sliding. SCREENING - ften called blocking, but "screening' has been approved by the rules com mittee. Screening is legally imped- ing the progress of an opponent. RETURN PASS - Sometimes called: double pass, shuttle pass, 1-2-1 pass, and triangle pass. BASKETS-In some sections called: nets, hoops, buckets, rims, irons, rings, and goals.

Japan To Retain
Islands Mandate

TOXIC. Feb IS. U.P)-Japan will
retain her inundated islands in the
Pacific after her contemplated
withdrawal from the League of Ma.
tions. the supreme military council
decided today.
The council met today at the Of
ficial residence of Minco Osumi,
minister of the navy, to discuss for
nally what position The govern
ment would take IN event the
league attempted to revoke Japan's
mand1te over the l,600 islands
scattered over the Pacific
A government spokesman later
informed the United Press that the
council had agreed Japan shall
etain the inundated possessions re-
gardless of any action the league
may take"
The inundated groups--Marshal,
Caroline and Marianna-have be-
come increasingly important in the
japanese empires trade expansion
program. Most observers believe
some of the more strategic islands
will be fortified and equipped as
naval bases after Japan abandons
the league and follows out her own
method of stabilizing her position
as the dominant power in the
Orient.
