DAWSON ADDS TO
 CLASS OF ENTRIES FOR HUB GAMES

Boston, Jan 23-(UP)-One of the best fields ever to start in a mile race here in recent years was assured with the receipt of an en- try from Glen Dawson, star Okla homa runner, for the Curley mile at the Prout memorial games at Boston Garden Saturday night.
 He will be pitted against such stars as Gene Venzke, holder of the indoor mile record of minutes, 10 seconds, Joe Mangan of Cornell, Frank Crowley of Manhattan, Frank Nordell of New York uni versity, and Dean Woolsey, former Illinois star now at Harvard law school. Venzke won the event last year in minutes and 17 seconds.
 Dawson sent word that he might also compete in the Bishop Chever- us 1000-yard run. Last year the Oklahoma flyer nosed out Bill Bonthron of Princeton in a spec tacular 1000 at the Boston A. A. games on the same track.

TODANS SPORTAPARADE. bAA&6bblD

 New York, Jan 23-(UP)-Some eight years ago hockey was intro duced at Madison Square Garden bv Tex Rickard, who knew so much about the ice sport that he thought it was played on horse back. One of the competing teams that night was the newborn New York Rangers, and one of the Ranger players was Murray Mur- dock, a young certified public &C., countant, three years out of Man. itoba university.
 Tonight the Rangers play their 4O0th game and for MT Murdoch or "Mudhooks," to give him the name his teammates use, it will be an epochal occasion. For the sim ple reason that when the starting whistle blows, and MT Murdoch s blades bite into the ice, he VIII have put in round numbers one OK the most amazing iron man feats sport has ever known.
 To-nights game with the Otta- wa Senators will be MT Murdoch's 4OOth consecutive big league hockey RdIIes l Ilo lICL LlluI ulA INV WCh V played with one club makes the feat all the more remarkable. It is only natural to compare MT Mur- doch with MT Lou Gehrig who holds the consecutive game record in baseball, and ask which is the more outstanding.
 On cold figures MT Geghig would seem to hold an edge, having Qnn Van1FaO games without miss. But then baseball isn't hockey. The diamond sport, as he is played in the big leagues, isn't exactly a gentle pas- time, but its hazards are the haZ- ards of a Browning society meet ing when compared to hockey. In- juries are rare in baseball; in hockey they are as much part of the game as the puck. To your men of the ice six-stitch cuts, broken bones, and bashed profiles are something to be expected. Baseball players can get life insur- ance during the playing season; hockey players can't. They're worse risks than steeplejacks, liok tanners, and Psychologists who ex- plored the inner lining of King Tut's tomb.
 Lester Patrick, silver haired coach of the Rangers, and man who has been in hockey since the ice age, is one who is amazed at Murdoch's record.
 "Murdoch's mark" Patrick told us, stands little chance of ever being tied, much less broken. It's almost unbelievable that man could play through 400 games of big league hockey without a miss. Especially such a player as Mur- doch, who is always in the middle of the hottest mix-ups-or skating like the devil to get into the mid- dle. He is rough and tough and has been in someof the damndest crack-ups you ever saw. Yet, here

 GAMES THIS WEEK
 Tuesday, January 23, 1884 Prospect vs First Congregational. Bunker Hill vs St Paul's Episcopal. St PauTs M. E. vs Mill Plain Union.
 Wednesday,, January "A, 1884 South Federated vs First M. l.. First Baptist vs Second Cong. Swedish Lutheran vs St John Luth.
 Church League High Lights
 Last week we gave First Baptist team the glad hand because they took two games out of three; but this week we take off our hats and and give them three rousing cheers because they not only took two game out of three; but this week we take off our~hats and give them three rousing cheers because they not only took two games out of three but took them away from the First M. E. team which had been in second place for the past five weeks. No excuses offered by M. b. They were just taken and how.
 South Federated came along to take two from the Swedish team and claim that this week they will take two more from First M. E. because they have done it before.
 Second Cong are still in the lead but did not get three games from St Johns who upset First M. E. the week before. The third game went to St Johns who justly deserved 1t due to the good work of the whole team.
 Second Cong, still leads the race being games up on First M. b. who still holds second place but by a very flimsy margin because Bunker Hill and Mill Ulain are pressing them close being only one game behind.
 St Pauls Episcopal holds fourth place two games behind those holding third place, with Prospect just three games behind them for fifth place. It looks like a battle between the first six teams with Second Congo, the favorites so far. However, as M. b. fell so might the champs who are now rubbing Laudemann on their tired muscles to keep them in trim.

The Rangers will set other rec ords when they take the ice against the Senatorse tonight. They Il SC nd out the same front line or the brothers Cook and Frankie Boucher they had in 1926. And the same defenseman in Ching John- son. These boys haven't played in all the games, but they've been the backbone of the team since it was started in '26. And the 800-plus goals the Cooks and Boucher have scored is still another record.

 Followers of junior basketball teams in the city have been wait ing for these two teams to clash and the winner will most likely be challenged by the North End Juniors in the near future to de- eide which is the best team be- tween these three rivals. The Cadets have not yet lost a game in three years on the club floor and will be heavy favorites to hand the Hillies their third defeat of the season to- night.

 Traffic M Danger

snow yesterday and last night. Police Superintendent Joseph Fl. Mclean this morning ordered the cars out of service. Steady pa- trolling by the cars was found to be impossible, and the superin- tendent ordered the motor patrol men to go on street duty until con- ditions improved enough to make it practicable to keep the cars in service.
 This mornings order taking the fleet of police cars out of service was the second time that the su- perintendent had to issue such 8. rule in the past week. The cars were off the streets for part of one day last week, when icy conditions likewise prevailed.
 The snow began falling shortly before noon yesterday. In the eve ming it turned to rain and sleetand froze quickly on the sidewalks and highways. This morning it was still misting, slightly and ice com tinued to form on the walks and roads. About 10 o'clock today rain began descending. It served to soften up much of the ice and gradually rising temperature also assisted in wiping out part of the hazardous condition.
 Snow Fall Light
 The snow yesterday measured about a half-inch in depth. It was the heaviest fall of the prsent win ter season. Coming on Christmas day it was hailed with much favor by Waterburians but the rain and ice that followed served to dampen the ardor of thousands.
 The snow failed to halt skating in the local parks although in some sections of the ponds there was much water visible.
 The street department was busy throughout yesterday afternoon. last night and today keeping hlliy streets and crosswalks sanded. Through the assistance of the city department the bus lines were able to keep up their schedules fairly we'll although the, busses were travelling slowly at all times.
 The state highway department was also busy throughout the night and kept such hills as South ington Mountain and Sherman Htll well sanded at all times.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-12-26

cidents here were few in number and none were of the serious va riety. Almost all the mishaps be- ing reported at police headquarters were the result of skidding, even chains proving of little use in keeping cars under control on the icy streets all over the city.
 Some Accidents
 Cars operated by Philip McCar- thy of New Brunswick, N. J., and Edward Guevin of Union City were badly damaged in a collision on South Main street last night. No one was injured.
 Marciano DiMarco of 55 Branch street suffered an injury to his right knee when hit by a car driven by Clement Connor of S2 State street. DiMarco was treated at St Mary's hospital.
 A police department car and a machine driven by Edward Pocos- ko of Union City collided near the city hall last night, both ears being slightly damaged.
 A car driven by Urban Keane of Cole street struck James Grant, 12, of A West Porter street, as the lad was coasting on Phoenix ave- nue.
 Edward Joy, 21, of Park road, was slightly hurt when he slipped and fell into the path of a car driven by Francis Lahey of Frank lin street. The accident took place on the Middlebury road. Joy was taken to St Mary's hospital.
 Police Cars Quit
 After police motor patrol cars had struggled through ice and
