DUCES AND EAGLES
 IN CRUCIAL GAME
(By Louis Grella)

The Brooklyn Y Duces tackle the high flying Eagles in the feature offering of this weeks schedule in the Y Inter-club league. The Para mounts and Cavaliers will meet in the prelim slated to get underway at 7:30. Dancing will follow the main game. With Louis Stores or- chestra providing the music for dancing. The Brooklyn Y Eagles will be out to get sweet revenge for the setback the Duces handed them. And you may rest assured that it will be a slam bang affair from start to finish. Meanwhile the Duces will try to make it 2 in a row over the high class Eagles. Admission will be IS cents for the gentlemen; 1; ladies admitted free. Ticket sales have been going strong and the teams will be playing before a packed house. If the Duces can bottle up "Midge" Grey and "Cappy" Di Blasio they should have a mighty good chance of winning. Meanwhile the Eagles will have to check those two Duces stalwarts, Marinelli and Mohawk" Caruselol, those two giant six footers who are dangerous at all times. Frank (Foots) Berardi. former star pupil of Coach Jimmie Lees Wildcat cagers, will handle the games.

REBUILT BOSTON OVAL PREDICTS NEW MILE MARK
Cunningham to Run for New Record Over II
 Lap Track Saturday

Boston, Feb. 10-(UP)-Maye it's part of the build-up, but somehow the runor got around town today that Q new worlds indoor mile record may be established at the B.A.A. meet here Saturday night.
 What really started 1t all was a laconic announcement from Boston garden ofYicials that the board track there is undergoing further changes.
 Prior to the Prout games here 10 days ago, the agonizingly slow garden track was renovated to give 1t speed. The results were gratifying Glenn Cunningham, the king of milers, stepped out and fashioned new local indoor mile mark of 4:1l.9. But the track still was 12 laps to the mile, which doesn't please the fellows who have to do the running.
 Shorter Course
 Garden officials reasoned some thing could be done to improve the situation, so they put carpenters to work laying an l1-lap oval.
 Cunningham's world indoor rec ord of 4:08.4 was made on an H. lap track in New York three years ago. After winning the Wanamaker mile in the comparatively slow time of 4:14A on the same track last Saturday, the Kansas flyer told B.A.A. officials that the reno- vated Boston saucer was better than New York's.
 Cunningham was also quoted by Tom Randy of the B.A.A. as saying: 'The Boston track was so fast at 12 laps that if the same is true of the 11-lap track and the pace is right, I believe I can break my present in- door record. Besides, I feel better this season than at any other time during my indoor career"
 As far as pace-setting goes, Cun- ningham need not worry.
 It was Indiana's sensational Don Lash who paced the sturdy Kansan to a new indoor Boston record 10 days ago. It was Lash again who set the pace in New York last Sat- urday night. And Lash will be in there again this Saturday.
 Also entered is Gene Venke, the former Penn ace who nearly nipped the second-place Lash at the tape in the Prout race and finished two places ahead of him in the Wana- maker mile. Art Clarke of Canada is; another worthy competitor. VI
 Competition will be keen. The track will be fast. So the possibility of a new indoor world record isn't as remote as 1t might seem.

Bridgeport Array on Short End of 37-l8 Count;
 Holy Names Win

Boosting their scoring power to Al points in three games, the K. of L. Speedboys from the St. Joseph parish, made the General Electric Hotpoints look very easy in gaining a 37 l8 decision last night for their second triumph of the season over the G. E. combine, whose only threat was Bauers, a speedy pivot man. Hard games over the week e2d took its toll from the smooth passing and accurate shooting the Liths usually show, and even while off form, they were much the best of the competing teams from start to finish.
 Joyce and Swasey, two of the K. Gof L. triL of Joes, accounted for 18 points while Joe Boley was injured though playing his usual good game while in action. The Liths led 26- 13 at half time. and kept that mar gin to the finish scoring IS goals to 2 and 2 to 4 in free losses.

NAUGY VS. CROSBY

Naugatuck, Feb. 19-The Nauga- tuck "Y" is expected to be packed to overflow tonight when those two ancient rivals, Naugatuck and Cros- by high or Waterbury, clash on the basketball court.
 Despite its recent losing streak of three games, local fans are strong in support of the Garnet five for to- nights contest. Crosby eked out a one-point triumph over Naugatuck in Waterbury and the local fans feel that Naugatuck, at home on the comparatively small "" gym floor, should edge the Waterbur- fans tonight.
 Local supporters point to the fact that the recent games which Naug- atuck lost to Warren Harding high and Ansonia were played on big floors. The local teams style, many think, is more adapted to play on the smaller floor.
 There is always plenty of color at the Naugy- Crosby tits and tonight's contest is expected to be no excep- tion. A close battle is anticipated.
