 Some Program!

They will be the girls basketball game fea- turing two factory teams and the boys game between the U. s. Rub- Der and the Bristol, R. l., wire plant.
 The other events on the program will include ping pong, pool match es for the factory championship, ex- hibition wrestling and boxing matches, and an exhibition swim ming match in the Y pool. Danc- ing will follow the main hoop game with music being furnished by Jack Burke's Club Orchestra.
 Much rivalry is in evidence throughout the plant with a record crowd sure to turn out to see the at- tractive schedule of events. It is rumored that the girls bowling team is offering to take all bets on thelr match but as yet none of the men have taken them up. The girls bas- ketball team representing the Gay tee Department and explained by Mary Fink will be attired in dag zling new regulation basketball uni- forms and promise that their game with the Miles Long Kedette team will be worth the price of admis- sion alone. Both teams have been practicing for the past six weeks and hot battle will be in store for the early arrivals.
 Sullivan to Swim
 The exhibition swimming, boxing and wrestling events will, as usual, be worth seeing. Gimbo Sullivan and his troupe of swimmers prom ise those who watch them, some real swimming, while Speck Willy assures the committee that his box ing exhibition will lack nothing. The grunt and groan specialists will pro- vide the crowd with the usual com- edy holds.
 The ping pong and pool finalists have not yet been decided but If past performances mean anything, Jim Currant ought to be in the ping pong final and Al Fetterman 'n the pool final. These champion ships will be decided Saturday night on the "" tables.
 Locals Confident
 The feature of the evening will be the boys basketball game between the local footwear plant and the Bristol. R. l., wire plant. This game has become an annual one dating back to the l932-1933 season. The Rabinovich coached team has two records to maintain in this. game, one, that of having never been de- feated by the Bristol team, and sec- ond, that of not losing game on the local court this season. The To- cal team, fresh from its victory over the Chemical Plant Is looking for ward to extending its current wiil- ming streak and maintaining its su- premacy over other teams in the U. s. Rubber system.
