CUNNINGHAM IN NEW TEST FOR
 INDOOR RECORD
Kansan Faces Another Fast Field in New York
 Tonight

New York, Feb. 19 - (UP) - Glenn Cunningham, perennial Kan sas miller, was 8 heavy favorite to capture the Baxter mile for the fourth time in the roth renewal of the New York Athletic Club track and field games at Madison Square Garden tonight.
 It was believed that Glenn will attempt to break his world record of 4:08.4 when he goes to the post against Archie San Romani, Kan sas; Gene Venzke, Pennsylvania; |; Blaine Rideout, Texas; and Ray Mahannah, national outdoor 150O meter champion from Drake uni versity.
 Cunningham, who won the Baxter special in 1883, '35 and '37, has not been defeated in seven starts this winter. His best time was 4:10, about second slower than his Baxter record.
 Records considered most likely to be broken in addition to the mile are the half-mile and the pole 'cOAV' 1A1A AC NAVdN1OHo, WIlO lldo SOdI . ed IA it. Il in., outdoors, is re- ported right" and it was thought possible that he would top the in- door mark of IA it. 47s in., set by George Varof in Boston last year.
 Johnny Woodruff, Pittsburgh's great half-miler and Olympic cham pion at 800 meters, is expected to atone for his miserable showing in the MillroSe games. Johnny finished last in field of seven in the Mill rose half mile, but he usually fol- lows a bad race with a good one and may break the 1:51.4 record of New York's Lloyd Hahn. Charley Beetham, winner of the Millrose; Ross Bush, Los Angeles; and Wayne Rideout, twin brother of Blaine will furnish the competition for gangling Woodruff.

WILEY HOOPMEN AT \
 NAUGATUCK TONIGHT

Wilby and Naugatuck are sched- uled for a hoop test tonight at the borough "Y" court in game that should be interesting since Naugy has been beaten after 16 wins while Wilby has taken Crosby since losing the first game between the local rivals. It will be the final Valley League game for Wilby, Naugatuck having won the N. V. L. title earlier in the week.
 Naugatuck, Feb. 19-A conference was held yesterday between Princi- pal Charles P. Slade of Naugatuck high school and Coach Peter J. Foley on the question of whether the high school team should enter the state basketball tourney but the final decision will not be made un- til Monday
 Coach Foley said, if Naugatuck does enter, it will go in the Glass A division, even though the local high school is Class B school.
 However several members of the Squdu nave COlQS, MT. cOley 1nQlcaC- ed. and for that reason it is not cer- tain whether the high school will compete in any post-seaSon activity.
 The Naugatuck team needs full strength to do well in any tourney and apparently the local officials do not wish to enter the team unless, such full strength is assured.
 It is possible the result of the game tonight with Wilby high of Waterbury will have a bearning on the decision Monday A large turn out is expected at the local "Y" as local fans wish to see how the Gar net will play after its first defeat of the season last Tuesday by Central high school.
 An exciting game is anticipated.

NorInie Kristian, better known. as 'Boopie," is noted for getting his 6 points in nearly every game he plays. "Six points Boopie" is what they are ceiling him now. At pres ent he is high scorer of the Liths with 51 points in 10 contests. In keeping with his sports ability, Kris tian is holding his own in the pin boys bowling league at St. Joe's al- leys. Set them up and mow them down, Bop.
 "Old Man" Jinx seems to be bounding the Crusaders this season. At one time no less than three of the teams regulars were on the SidelineS because of infections and injuries. Frank Shembriskis, classy guard, has been out of the lineup for the past three weeks because of foot injury.
 Daniel Shembriskis, who had been out of the game for over week be- cause of an injury, tossed in two hoops be--:des playing a bang up de- fensive game in his rrecent ctart. Dan coaches the Chase Park Jack als in his spare time. Incidentally, he teams up with his brother Frank at guard.
 Al Krizinaukas, the lad whose front yard is in Waterbury and backyard Is in Oakville, is playing 8 surprisingly we'll game of ball for a first year man. He's fast and shifty and plays equally as well at either forward, guard or centar.
 Frank Shembriskis, stellar Lith guard, has been an important cog in the Crusader combine during his limited performance with them. We hope that Fran will be back shortly to resume his duties. Last year he starred with the strong Alpha lily quintet in the Y. M. C.. A. league. In addition to his basketball powers, Francis was one of the best linesmen of the 1886 Crosby varsity eleven.
 The Crusaders of Lithuania quint has booked two worthy opponents for their next two home appear anceS. The strong Ansonia Trojans will show their wares this coming Wednesday for the first time local ly, while the up and coming North End Spartans will furnish the op- position on Wednesday March 3.
 'Babe" ShembriskiS is the official scorekeeper of the c. of L. In keep ing with the athletic inclined Shem- briskis tradition, Babe" is quite a basketball player in his own class. He is now performing with the Jackals and earlier in the season he played with the MBoys' Club Gophers. Besides his basketball ability, he has been a member of the St. Josephs school baseball team for the past three seasons and still has one more to play.

The Archko Volume

IN 1879 Rev. w. D. Mahan, Cum
L berland Presbyterian minister Of
Boonville. Mo, published a book
called The Archko Volume" Ii
purported to be an official report Of
the trial and death Of Jesus Christ,
made directly to the Emperor Ii
berius by Pontius PLATE. governor
Of Judea. which Mahan asserted he
had obtained from the Vatican in
Rome.
Its authenticity was Immediately
attacked but Mahan defended his
work so vigorously that many peo-
pie were convinced that it was genu-
inc. Later he expanded the book
with the addition of other docu-
ments, giving many new facts
about the life of Christ. These, he
asserted, he had obtained in the
Vatican and in Constantinople.
Since that time the Archko Vol
uIne has been reprinted in many
different editions in many different
cities; il has been translated into
foreign languages and thousands Of
copies of it have been sold all over
the world. Despite the fact that
DR.. Edgar ]. Goodspeed of the Uni

from beginning to end, many people
still believe it authentic. And
strangely enough an original print

rarity and a valuable piece OF
Americana. and several copies have

A Bath for Miss Liberty

ITO THE city editor of every New
L York newspaper several years
ago came an announcement from
the American Patriotic League"
that the Statue of Liberty was going
to be given bath. 1t had been de-
cided that the film OF dust and
smoke from passing steamers must
be removed from Bartholdi's ia
nous statue but in order to avoid
possible injury to the metal, the an
nouncement said, new supersuds
solution would be used.
The story, printed in all the pa
pers, was picked up by the press
associations and carried all over
the country, Immediately the col
umnists and newspaper paragraph
ers began making wisecracks about
Miss Liberty's bath and it became
one of the leading topics of the day.
But when an inquiry about the pro-
posed bath was made at the War
department. which then had juris-
diction over Bedloe'S island, Of
fcials there said they knew nothing
about the matter. Then one New
York editor became suspicious. He
dug up the original announcement,
and looked at the address of the
American Patriotic League.
