Five first places, including victories in the diving and 100 yard spring by Babe Charron and Reville Fox gave the student swimmers the victory. The summary: 160 yard relay--Won by Alumni (Meyerhans, Finnegan, Monaghan and D. Smith). Time 1922. 100 yard breast stroke-Won by Lezewski (c); second Dlueskis (c); third, White, (a). Time 1:14.4.

but Ray Palmer was doing some practicing during the last game and was getting all his marks in prac- tiee where they might have been useful in the league game. We always notice that Capt Travisano sees that his players are not inter- fered with lately and it was es- pecially noticeable this week. Capt Travisano WAS high for the Estima- tors with 323 and John Lally was high for the Production team with 293.
 Two sadly depleted teams faced each other this week on the alleys. They were the Chasers and the Cost team and there were only three men on each team. The Chasers, being spotted 26 pins for each game, won two games from Caligan's Cost team. The Cost team having two men just off the sick list couldn't seem to get going because they sure did get a lot of bad breaks. Sam Eusey was happy again because, in spite of his injured hand, he managed to beat his man one game out of the three. The Cost team by losing two games have gone into a Q triple tie with the Production team and the Engineers and it looks as if there is going to be lot of fireworks next week. Rumors are that E. F. Copp will be back with the Cost team after the holi- day. Capt Mulholland was high for the Chasers with 299 and 'An- chor Joe" Dubiel was high for the Cost team with 322.

Five Highest Averages
Pick-Ups Here and There

Rumors are that the league is going to get 8 camera man up some, night to snap some shots of some of the players in the league. We think that the first ones talk en should be of George Drinkwa- ter after he has thrown the ball because everybody gets good laugh watching him bowl.
 Howard Lefty Reichenbach again realized his ambition and rolled over 100. (Keep it up, How ard, and we think that you will stay on the team.)
 Gazey tried to lay down this week because he bowled against the team he bowled with last week and we think thta he likes to see the Estimators come through. 'n
 Rumors are that Ray Palmer was trying to get warm, this being the reason why he was bowling a practice game during his teams last game.
 Bob White, who has been bowl ing high scores the past few weeks, turned in 76 game and was beat en by W. Husted. (Betetr cut out the practice game that you bowl each night before the league games.)
 The "Rush Manuals" are on the way and we hope that next week we will be able to start publishing it.
 We wonder why Jack Hanlon changed shoes to bowl this week!
 We wonder if Sam Eusey got his wrist sprained from cranking a car?

Bv HENRY McIlEMORE

(Untte0 FreSS SLAW COrFcSpOucnep
 New York, Dec 22-(UP)-The following cable from London was laid on our desk yesterday:
 South end dies Eugene Corri seventy-four heart disease"
 Such was the brief dispatch teh- ing of the death of the most fa- nous fight referee on the other side of the water, and probably in the world. Friend and companion of a company that ranged from the Prince of Wales, dukes, lords, theatrical stars and statesmen, to sharp-eyed managers, broken down fighters and race track touts, Corri died in a cheap flat in an ob- scure east coast resort.
 When we picked up the cable the name Corri didn't mean much to us, and it probably won't mean much to the other followers of sport who haven't been around so long. But judging by the obituary on the old fellow, Corri was one of boxing's most gIamorous charac- ters. :,
 In nearly fifty years as the third man in the ring Corri refereed more than 1000 fights, and he could rattle off dozens Qf cham pions he had worked with. Mickey Walker, Jimmy Wilde, Tommy Burns, Sam Langford, Jim Dris- coll, Bombardier Billy Wells, Frank Moran, Joe Beckett and a score of other title-holders felt his tap on the back.
 Long Ago
 At one time "Gene" had a big house all his own, carriages and fine horses. Those were the days when he smoked the most expen- sive cigars, was familiar with the choicest wines, and always ap- peared in immaculate, if somewhat old-fashioned clothes, including a bell-top high hat and a snuff col ored coat. He never lost his love for dress, and even when in dire poverty, managed to appear at the Savoy bar in his beloved snuff-col- ored coat, a red carnation stabbed jauntily in the lapel.
 With his round red face, stiffly waxed mustache, twinkling little eyes, and eternal cigar, he was at one time an intimate of the sports men of Europe, from peers to the lowest commoners. He was noted for his repartee and always had some story to tell.
 Three years ago the doctors told Corri, who in his late sixties could still skip around a boxing ring with speed and grace, that he must not enter a ring again. They told him that if he even lifted his

The representative hoop teams of the two schools will meet at the commercial high school gym, in what will be the first local show ing of Coach Jimmy Lees Green and White courtiers. with the em- phasis on the first-named color, in view of the fact that three seasoned players from last years squad, @e- cided their commercial education was completed and did not return to school.
 Waiting
 So it is that Coach Lee will be as interested as the fellow next to him in seeing what, if any. Wilby's possibilities along basketball lines will be for the current campaign, which opened for them out of town ten days ago and ended in twenty point deficit for the home forces. Gilbert is considered much fairer test for the locals whose re- serves will warm up the hoops in preliminary game set for .7:30 p. m.
 Scrappy Squad
 Lack of height and exerience is Wilby's most severe handicap this season. A couple of small sized forwards and a center two inches short of six feet, Wilby has only aggressiveness in its favor. In Cap tain Rinaldi and Block, a guard and forward, MT Lee has a pair of boys for whom he has been trying to find co-operators and he had a lot of luck so far, and it's all bad. However, Pomponio, who has played considerable basketball lat Washington school aIbi Wilby, Sal- durkas and Berardi will start with Block and Rinaldi against Gilbert, and who knows but that they might "click" when least expected. At any rate if they have anything at all, 1t will show up against Gilbert. For reserves Coach Lee has Laughlin Colgan, Moore, Landolfi, Nowakow- ski and Donate Zenich.
 Comparatively, the teams ap- peared we'll matched and should provide first class exhibition. A quarter vii lget you in if you arc past your student days, otherwise three nickels will do the trick.

Bruin Cubs Better
 Hockey Standing

Boston, Dec 22-UP)--The Bos- ton Bruin Cubs pulled up to with in one point of the league-leading Quebec Beavers when they de- feated the Providence Reds, 5 to 3, in a Canadian-American league hockey game at Boston Garden last night.
 A last period scoring spree, dur ing which Obs Heximer, Sheldon Buckles and Frank Erwa scored for the Cubs, clinched the victory.
 For two sessions the teams played evenly and went into the last period with the score tied at 2-2. Frank Jerwa had given the Cubs a lead with a goal in the first period, but Leo Gaudreault evened 1t quickly. The Reds took the lead in the second with Art Giroux scoring, only to have Bill Cunning ham even before the period end- ed.

 It may develop into a battle of goal tenders Sunday night, for Quebec, given aid by the Montreal Maroons, has Clint Smitr in the nets. Against him vii be Moore of New Haven, The defence advantage if any, should rest with the Beavers for Smith has manager, Flat Walsh, who is past master in the art of goal tending.

TOD SLOAN, DEAN OF JOCKEYS, DIED
 ATLOS ANGELES
Little Man Who Made a Million Lost It All-ln-
 vented Monkey Ride

Los Angeles, December 22 - (UP) = Tod Sloan, known to thousands of racing fast as the greatest jockey of all time, is dead.
 He lost his struggle against death in local hospital yester- day. Death resulted from cirrho- sis of the liver.
 Sloan died "broke," his finan- cial position in direct contrast to that of three decades ago when he \ quit the track with nearly $1,000,- 600. only the beneficience of Mrs Jack Cudahy, member of the Chi cage packing family, kept him from dying in a pauper's ward.
 He was born in Kokomo, Ind, in 1874, as James Fordham Sloan. His father was a barber.
 Sloan gave up barbering at an karly age because he was too short to reach to the customers hair. He began haunting racing stables and when he was 16, he rode his first sace.
 He created Q sensation at the Old Southside track in Chicago in 1888 when he showed fans the smonkey ride" Perched high on Rhe horses neck instead of riding &reCt ne cOaxeQ greater speed IrOh Dis mount. His style of riding be- same universay.
 Success
 His richest victory, perhaps, was heored astride Ballyhoo Bey in the 1894 futurity. Rival jockeys decid- ed to pocket" him. Sloan drove through an opening and home to Victory, collecting $14,000.
 He went to England in 1897, and for a time enjoyed tremend- 0us popularity. Press and public later turned against him as a ssforeigner" and eventually he was kefused license.
 With his star on the decline, he keutrned to America and retired in 1901. III luck haunted him, and within a year he had los tthe bulk If not all of his fortune.
 His marriage to Julia Sanderson, Actress, lasted only a year. He married Elizabeth Saxon Malone, also an actress in 1920. but that union likewise ended in divorce in 1926, after daughter was born.
 Arrangements for the funeral were to be completed today by Mrs Cudahy and Slonan's second wife.

NEW YORKER MAY SCORE KNOCKOUT
 HACKERS BELIEVE.
Light-Heavyweights Clash at Phoenix Arena
 Kamireski vs Moore

What has every appearance of being the outstanding indoor box ing card of the season in Water bury goes on tonight, when Al Cainer of New Haven, the states heavyweight and light-heavy- weight boxing champion, squares off with Bob Olin of New York for the fifth time. News from New York and West Palm Beach with in the past few days has indicated that Champion Maxie Rosenbloom has slipped quite a bit, and with this in mind, the boys will go at 1t tonight, with title shot in view.
 Bob Going Good
 Olin, by virtue of his victories over Unknown Winston and Char ley Massera is the choice of the wagering boys, though the Black Panther from the Elm City has never failed to find packers who say it with greenbacks. The con- testants are quite familiar with each others strong points and weaknesses, and in Connecticut, put on two stirring battles with the decisions even.
 Both men, in excellent condition, were scheduled to weigh in at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The under card from the four round opener to the eight round semi final is cram med with fighters who can fight. For instance, there's Joe Kamin- ski of Scranton and Eddie Moore, the Bridgeport Bomber who will tangle for eight rounds or less, with a knockout quite possible as both are hard hitters, Moore spe- cializing in southpaw cracks that have done plenty of damage.
 Scrappcrs
 Then there's Joe Vignali of this city and Johnny Bellus of New Haven, who have a six round date that should be productive of plenty of fistic fireworks as both boys can take it, though vignali is also first class at handing it out. More local talent in the burly form of Phil Brosseau and Al Leveque will be on exhibition, Philip taking on tough customer from Torrington, Eddie Jessup, who always does his share of fighting while Joe Wright of New Haven will engage Leve- que for four rounds.
 By the way, the show will not get under way until p. m.

COLLECIANS AND
 NAUCATUCK HIGH PLAY THIS EVENING:

Naugatuck, Dec 22-The Naug atuck High school team is in for |; tough battle tonight when il meets the Collegians 8 combine made up of alumni who have been active in college. A preliminary game between the prep school five, that is Naugatuckians attending prep schools, and the local reserves is planned for 1880 o'clock. The main tilt will get underway after the first game ends.
 However. the game is expected to he another step in the develop. n'cnt of the local high school team There is still plenty of room for i'm movement in the team. Thus fai the locals have won their games with high schools but have not giv- en any indications that they were up to the quality of some of the teams Coach Foley had turned out There is a chance for improvement of course, but fans are wondering if the team will do so before it meets some of the tough ones like Central, Crosby, Wilby or Harding.
 Bill Karaban, John Grebauskas, John Balinsky, Ed Butkus, "Red" Raytkwich and others will make up the Collegians tonight. The collegians' should win if they want to. A good crowd is expected for the affair.
