Mike Exarhou's lone field goal Of the evening came at an opportune moment. With the score knotted at 21-21, the Cadets guard followed by Dameilio's hook shot and threw in a one hand overhead shot with 70 seconds to play which broke the deadlock and ciinched the game. In the excitement, Captain Clin Lougblin. who a few minutes be- fore was banished on personals, rushed acriss the floor in giee to find out the remaining seconds, was detected and penalizcd a tech- nicaI foul which Captain Giacentino made goor. However, the Cadets held on to the leather in the wan Ing seconds to enter the semi-fnals.
 Danclio's Play Features
 However, much of the credit of the victory belongs to General Da- melio, former Leavenworth and Crosby courtster, whose inspiring play all evening. kept the clubbers in the ball game. His three field goals and four conversions gave him individual scoring honors. but his abalitly to get the ball from tap proved most advantageous to the winners.

MAJOR LEAGUES
 BIG BUSINESS GETS UNDER WAY TUES
Cochrane as New Detroit Manager Said to Be in
 the Bag"-

Chicago, Dec. 11.-(UP)-Base- ball magnates stuffed their cards today for a "new deap' at the an- nual winter meeting of the two ma jor leagues beginning tomorrow. The biggest shifting of players in many years was forecast by the unprecedented crop of rumors pre- vailing. Virtually every club in both leagues, possibly excepting the Giants and Senators, was included in trade discussions.
 Two clubs may name 1894 man. agers at the three-day meeting. Larry McPhail, new president of the Cincinnati Reds, may replace Donie Bush, with Jim Bottomley, first baseman, or Marty McManus, erstwhile Red Sox manager.
 Certainty
 The Detroit Tigers may land Mickey Cochrane from the Ath- letics in. exchange for Catcher Hay worth and cash, "feed box" infor- nation indicated. Cochrane, the re- port states. is being sought as man. ager for the Tigers. The deal is re- ported 'in the bag"
 Standardization of the ball, win- ter-league series during the season and the broadcasting of daily games, were other subjects to be discussed. Although manufacturers say the American and National league balls are identical, players insist the one used in the Ameri- can league is faster"
 President William Harridges will preside at the American league meeting and President John Heyd- Ter will be in charge of the Na- tional league sessions. Judge Kene- saw Mountain Landis, baseball commissioner, will preside at a joint session of the two leagues Thursday.

BILL ROPER, TIGER
 COACH FOR YEARS BURIED TOMORROW
Associates in Business, Sports and Politics Will
 Attend Last Rites

Philadelphia, Dec 11-UP)- Notables in sports, business and politics tomorrow will attend the funeral of William w. (Bil) Roper, former Princeton football coach, insurance executive and political leader, who died yesterday at his home in Germantown. He was 5S.
 Roper won success in business and in politics. but football brought him nation wide fame, both as play CT and coach.
 The last of the romantic" coaches was closely associated with Princeton university with few in- terruptions from 1899, when he played end on the Tigers cham pionship team until 1890, when he retired to concentrate on other ac- tivities.
 He had been in ill-health since last summer, and his condition was aggravated during the last two months by septic poisoning. He is survived by his widow and two children, Elizabeth and William, Jr., Princeton football player.
 Taught Courage
 Roper will be remembered for his inspiring dressing room talks between halves-talks that trans formed apparently beaten elevens into fighting teams.
 Football is 90 per cent fight" he insisted. He drilled this into his teams; also the axiom, "a team that won't be beaten, can't be beaten"
 Born in Philadelphia of Virginia stock, Roper attended William Penn Charter school in Philadel- phia, later attending Princeton. There he was end, played varsity baseball and was basketball cap- tain.
 Soon after graduating in 1902, illness forced him to go south. Later he returned to Princeton as end coach, remaining in that capacity until 1909, when he went to the University of Missouri as head coach. He was back at Princeton as head coach in 1910. From 1912, to 1919, his time was so occupied with politics, he gave up coaching. He returned to Princeton as head coach in 1919, and held the post until 1880.
 He was succeeded by Al Wittmer, who in turn gave way to "Fritz" Crisler two years ago.

 BASKEIBALLFOE OF NAUCATUCK
High School Teams Meet Saturday Squad
 to Face Yale FrOsh
Especial to the Democrat)

tSpccial 10 tnc OcufOcfatD Naugatuck, Dec 1.-The Nau- gatuck high school basketball team which made an suspicious debut Saturday night trouncing the Gil- bert high school team of Winsted here at the "Y'' by a 4s-1s score with several regulars of last year not playing, faces trouble with a capital T this week. It meets the Yale Freshmen team Thursday night at the Yale gym in a con test where the Garnet will be the decided underdog, and Saturday night will face Leavenworth of Waterbury which this year is re- puted to be exceptionally strong.
 Back to Work
 Practice was resumed to-day with some of the faults which were revealed Saturday being stressed. Frank Edmonds indicated Saturday he should be a big help to the To- calls this year scoring field goals and Enamait proved an able rum ming mate netting 4 field goals and two fouls for 10 points. Coach Foley used 10 men during the contest but Galeski and Scally, two regulars of last year did not play.
 Dick Tuckey showed much abil- ity also but the team naturally showed it still needed practice. However, there are indications it may develop into a strong aggre- gation although 1t is yet too early to say definitely. The contests 1t plays this week should deter mine it's calibre to a large extent, although a loss of at least one game is probable in view of the fact that the team has not yet the smoothness which characterizes the consistent winner.
 The Naugatuck high reserves beat the Gilbert Reserves in a close contest, POLY. Marcelonis sank the basket that won for Naugy.

In the semi-final, AL derman Billy Princes prize south paw, Eddie Moore of Bridgeport has ben secured to oppose Joe Kaminski of Scranton, and if any one thinks Kaminski is "soft" he has something to learn for the Scranton Scrapper is the boy who put the quietus on Leo Larrivee and has been doing right we'll by himself around Boston way since that time. Moore needs no intro duction as a drawing card.
 Vignali vs Bellus
 Olin and Gainer are expected to put on a battle similar to their two Connecticut battles, both of which were something to look at, for the reason that they are natural fighters. well able to cope with each others style. Joe Vignali, who looked great in his last show Ing will be pitted against Johnny Bellus of New Haven in a six round special, which should be a good battle. Vignali will train all week at the Charter Oak gym in Hartford to get needed boxing that he will need for his battle with Bellus, shifty two-fisted New Tfavener, who will, however, have plenty to do in stopping Wig nails pile-driving punches.
 whose professional careers are just a few weeks old will be in action. Brosseau meeting Eddie Jessup, the Torrington better while Le- vesdue meets Joe Wright of New Haven, a former Golden Glover.
