 It certainly is a hot race the Powermen are putting on and they are having one of the best seasons in their history. The rivalry is keen but if you want to see a great spirit of fellowship come around to the Mattatuck alleys at SIS some Wednesday night
 The Sales Engineers pulled away to a three point lead when they downed the Production boys who were only one point behind prior to tl,ese games. The unavoidable ab- sence of Russ Hicock. the PrOduc- ticnist's star anchorman, hurt them a lot but with Gaugler, Wolff and Knight in fine form s. E. couldn't he stepped. Buck Bergen and Ken Beckley rolled some great games for P. E. but couldn't pull the chestnuts out of the fire.
 Even with Jim Guyette piling up 389 for his three games, the best Construction could do was one point from Bob Nelson's Sales A. Fred Drummond on the sick list was missed and it might have been a different story if he had been able to be around. Roy Darroch sur prised even himself when he hit 344 and his work proved to be the spak plug for the Seniors of the Sales Dept. Stretch" Nelson did not oo so bad himself with 329 while Ben Mellor working as assist ant anchorman worked hard for a further promotion.

Garden Does $35O.OOO on Ice Exclusive of Hockey

The Boston Garden last year showed a profit for the first time in several, thanks to the Henie influ- ence. After seeing Sonia, the Hub like the rest of the country, wanted nothing more than gals and guys on skates and skis. She paved the way for other ice and snow carni- vals. There are eight skating troupes and two or three snow shows tour ing the country now.
 Exclusive of hockey, Madison Square Garden will do $350,000 on the ice this winter. Ice and snow shows have crowded the spring six day bicycle race out of the Eighth Avenue Arena for the first time since it was built.
 The sale of skating equipment is 10 times what it was three years ago.
 AS for Miss Henie, she frankly admits that she counts the dollars, but adds that she would skate re- gardless.
 T don't mind telling you" she beams, that I thrive on applause. Many a time my mother asks me not to go out for another encore, but I love it. Skating is hard work, but it also is a lot of fun"

The Brooklyn "" court will be the scene of one Of the bitterest grudge battles in years when the Indies, who claim they have the better team and will be out to prove it, tangle with the Eagles, first round winners and favorites to an- mex the Brooklyn "Y" Senior league honors this year.
 The first contest between these rivals of long standing ended in the Indies walking off the floor, trail ing lilo at the conclusion of the half, thus ending in forfeiture and victory for the Eagles.
 All supporters of both lives will be on hand to support their respec- tive outfits and lead them on to victory.

Sets Garden Mark; Skat= ing Equipment Sales
 GO Sky High
By HARRY CRIMSON Sports Editor, NEA Service

New York, Jan. 27.-Mike Jacobs says Sonia Henie saved every arena and rink in America.
 What the promoter means is that things were pretty tough when the Golden Girl of the Silver Skates made the nation ice conscious.
 For example, on her current tour Miss Henie did $20600O at the Chi cago Stadium in eight nights, $751; 900 at the Detroit Olympia in seven $106,000 in Cleveland in five, and the ticket supply for five nights at Madison Square Garden was de- pleted a week before she arrived The gross gate there will be $135, ,000 with thousands turned away. Never before was the Garden sold out so far in advance.
 To give you an idea of Miss Henie's bucks office magnetism practically every seat in the Chi cago Stadium was peddled for a rehearsal of her Hollywood review which is the slickest thing ever put on blades.
 The Henie show closes in Bos- ton, but the star is going to Mi ami with a select few to appear in the Orange Bowl, Feb. 25, 26 and 27
 Portable ice plant and all, it is costing Mike Jacobs something like $50,0O0 to stage the production, but he scarcely can miss breaking the little Norwegian's attendance record for personal appearance. There will be 23,000 seats, and Jacobs can play to $150,000 in the three nights.
 That1l be something new. even to the great Henie, gliding in the open air with the starlit sky for canopy and with palm trees kolsomined for effect.
