Considerable improvement over their unpublished performance against Leavenworth on Monday night was shown by the Crosby high basketball boys last night as they turned in neat 24-17 victory over an able group of Crosby grads, most of them now members of col- lege hoop outfits. A medium sized crowd took in the Christmas night Alumni game which found the Old Grads leading at half time B to g, but fading in the third and final periods as successive hoops by Mur- phy, Harrison and Pranskitis topped small lead. For Crosby, Gamers defensive play and passing was par ticularly good.
 Nice Going
 Joe Joyce, and Abe Steinman of Penn carried the brunt of the Alum nj going, with Bob Mcdonald now a Cornell guard, showing up well at center. Crosby led 5-3 at the end of the first eight minutes, trailed g to 13 at the half, moved into a IT, IS lead before the final heat and wound up with a seven point edge.

l
 Boston, Dec. 26.-(UP).-With only five days to go the unhappy distinction of being 1935's unluckiest sports magnate appeared today tc be pinned securely on the lapel o1 Charles Francis Adams, the million aire chain store executive.
 AS if it wasn't enough for his Boston Braves to set an all-time low for games lost 115) during the last major league baseball season, Adams finds himself holding the purse strings of two tail-end hockey clubs.
 Looking Up
 In the National League, Adams Boston Bruins are seeing the old year out from a position well in the ruck of their three American-di- vision rivals, the Detroit Red Wings, New York Rangers and Chicago Black Hawks. The Bruins have won 5, tied 2, and lost g games in l6 starts, despite Cecil (Tiny) Thomp- sons unsurpassed feat in holding opposing teams to a total of 20 goals, an average of 1:25 per game.
 The Boston Bruin Cubs, supposed to be developing new blood of the lowly bruins, are so mired in the Canadian-Amer League cellar that it may soon be a mathematical impossibility for them to reach the playoffs. The Cubs have only 3 vic- tories and ties, against 12 defeats, in IT games. Contrasting is the rec ord of the league-leading Phladel- phia Ramblers, with II wins and 4 losses.
 Coming To Life
 The Bruin seniors showed distinct signs of rebirth last night as they dropped a 3-2 verdict to New York's Rangers before l2,000 fans in the swiftest, most wide-open game play ed aC the Garden this season. Charlie Sands sifted long shot past Goalie Dave Kerr midway in the opening period and on that goal the Bruins led until the third period was more than two minutes old.

|SCRIBES VOTE CUBS q STREAK
 BEST 1885 FEAT
Amazing Chicago Drive to Pennant Was Greatest
 Sport Achievement

Editors Note-following is an- other of the United Press sports polls for 19S5).
 BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
 United Pres Stan COrrespOndentl
 New York, Dec 26-The Chicago Cubs-the Horatio Alger boys of baseball-accomplished the out- standing athletic achievement by a 1885 team when they scored 21 straight victories in their drive to the National league pennant.
 The Cubs amazing winning streak received the votes of. 124 of the 1855 sports writers who cast ballotes in the annual United Press poll. Many of the writers who cast first place votes for some other team gave the Cubs dazzling drive second place.
 Minnesotas football team, which was awarded the mythical national title, received second place with 47 votes. The Gophers have won 17 straight games in the last three years, eight of them the past sea- son.
 Tigers Third
 Third place was won by the De- troit Tigers, who conquered the Cubs in the world series, with the surprisingly small total of 6 votes.
 Southern Methodist's football team, which won l2 straight games and now the eastern" Rose bowl bid, came fourth with five votes.
 Only three other ballots were cast. one each for the football teams of Stanford, Notr Dame and U.CL.U.
 Comment by many of the sports editors praised the Cubs 21 game streak as one of the greatest team achievements in baseball history.
 Without doubt the Cubs 21- game streak that roared them into the world series was one of the most intense and colorful baseball demonstrations of modern times" wrote one sports editor. What was so striking was the way the young- sters developed under fire and how the pitchers kept their rotation per- f-et for more than three weeks"
 Another writer pointed out that the Cubs streak was really the longest ever made in baseball, inas- much as the Giants 26-game streak of 1916 was marred by tie game.
 Figure On Cubs
 Most of the contributors empha- sized that they voted for the Cubs booo,,en if ;s ta,rUhor fn ttyiv1 O1 rO,n- secutive baseball games than it is an equal number of football games.
 "The slightest error can stop 8 winning streak in baseball" said on of the writers. "A passed ball, a wild pitch, an error in a crucial moment, a bad decision by an um- r .re-any of these things can break up winning streak"
 Considering both the !9334 and 1885 Minnesota football teams as one eleven, one contributor named them his vote with this bouquet-"The closest thing to perfect machine in any sport"
 The failure of the Tigers to draw more than six votes was big sur- prise u was partially explained by the large number of persons who voted Umpire George Moriarty's world series decisions as the biggest sports controversy, in another sec- ton of the poll.
 Stanford got its vote because of its comeback against California to win its third Rose bowl bid. Notre Dame was accorded its vote because of it's play against Ohio State, U.CL. U. received its ballot because it beat Stanford and St. Mary's with the smallest squad on the west coast.

Today tomorrow or Saturday in New York the football coaches and ribbon boys from the National Collegiate Athletic Association going to sit down and try to figure out way to cut down the bottles, bets and beting of defenseless gOalpOsts at college football games. It seems all three things have de- mOrazng influence upon the enjoyment of the major ity of the spectators and the customer at $2O $3O and $40 head is always right. Perhaps they may recommend barbed-wire entanglements around the posts, but better way would be to eliminate the big clock that tells the rahrah boys when to start rushing for the lumber many of them getting two minute start at the Yale Bowl this After al the field judge keeps time for the players which is all that is really necessary.

STELLAR LOCAL COMBINE SHOWS
 AT Y TONIGHT
Matty Sheehan With Wis itOrs; BartOlini, SantO-
 pietrO With PrincetOns

Always welcome in this vicinity, where fast basketball and good long range shooting is appreciated by lo- cal fandom, the classy House of Da- vid touring basketball squad will make its first appearance of the season tonight at the Central YMCA court against 8 Strengtened Prince ton A. A outfit that broke even with the Bearded Beauties in two games at Watertown last year.
 Sheehan All Set
 An added incentive to the Davids' appearance tonight will be the showing of Matty Sheehan against his former teammates. Sheehan, a Waterbury boy, rated by anyone who has seen him as one of the best basketball handlers in the business, has been going well with the Davids since late October despite the add ed weight of whiskers which is a necessary part of his equipment while the season is on. Matty play ed running guard position with the Princetons last season and just when many of his best friends thought he was "all through" as a top-line hoopman, he came through with consistent performers that soon made them change their minds. Ills signing with the Davids is complete proof of his continued ability as a player, and those who saw him play in either or both games against the Ships Sailors at West Haven earlier this month realized he is playing some of the finest basketball of his meteoric career. Tonight he will probably be guarded by Dick Tuckey who was his teammate and feeder last season with the Princetons.
 Experienced
 Coach Tom Wagner has assembled great veteran group of basketeers, including pair of young and able lads in Dave Bartolini and Ralph Santopietro, both of whom are good scorers and can keep going at a fast pace. In addition, a Naugatuck trio of Tuckey, Balinsky and Gair will wear Princeton uniforms, while Boley and SwaSey of Brooklyn, and Eddie Stevens. who is playing a for ward post with the Danbury team this year complete the squad, which will show against the Meriden En- dees, Bristol Shamrocks, Alabama Pitts All-Stars, Detroit Clowns and other top notch outfits in and out of Connecticut, if the patronage at this evenings game warrants the booking of such talent as that listed. All members of the Princetons have been playing the game since early November and are in good condi- tion for tough game which they are sure to get from the clever barber -shy visitors.
 Prelim
 The game set for 8:30 o'clock sharp, will be preceded by a fast YMCA Interclub game an hour earlier. Probable lineup:
 Princtons House of David Gair. If ................lg, Mueller Boley, If ...............r .rg, Woods SwaSey, c .............c, Sebastian Tuckey, rg .............. If, Carney Santopietro, lg .rg, Sheehan
