SHIPSTAD STAR
 OF ICE FOLLIES'

New Haven, Feb. 2They call him the Human Top. He spins on skates so fast that the human eye cannot count the revolutions; and during the past year he has added to his accomplishments and not only spins on one foot but does 8 complete reverse spin at the height of his gyrations. His name is Roy Shipstad, worlds professional figure skating champion. He is one of 50 stars coming to the Arena for a solid week, beginning next Monday, with the Ice Follies of 1888.
 Shipstad came to New Haven last year with the 1897 Follies and the capacity crowds refused to let him leave the ice. He still remembers that his Elm City debut brought him back for 8 dozen encores, and that the entire cast performed an hour overtime because Connecticut ice enthusiasts were reluctant to see the performance end.
 In Death Spiral"
 Only 26 now, Shipstad goes bAnOt8AA JAAC A4kOot OOAAkSAAOAVCA a0A- sens Loop jumps, Lutz jumps, weav- ing spread eagles and sensational whirls with an ease and deftness that makes these difficult feats ap- pear easy.
 The highlight of the p act pro- gram, however, is when Shipstad joins Bess Erhardt, Americas sweet heart of the ice, in the death spiral". This difficult figure is new to the skating world. No skater ever dared attempt it; and 1t took Shipstad and Miss Ehrhardt nearly two years to perfect 1t. They in- troduced it in Madison Square Gar den month ago; and Gotham ice critics say that this hair-raising number is one big reason why the Follies have been booked for another solid week in New York before the entire group goes to Hollywood to record their feats on film. Ice Follies will be at the Arena every night next week from Monday through Saturday.

WILEY WIN NER OF RAGGED GAME FROM TECH TEAM
LeavenwOrth Loses 24-l6 as Teams Make s of go
 Free Throws

Wilby registered a none-too inn pressive 24 to 16 victory over Leav- enworth last night in a raggedly- played hoop encounter at the Grove street gym before several hundred followers of both institutions.
 Both teams were cratic to the nth degree, the wildcats making but four of IA free tries awarded themb by Referee Phil Casman and the Tech Tigers converting on but four in Is complimentary endeavors.
 Jake Rieger's orange and black cagemen started of like house on fire scoring two field goals after three minutes of play by virtune of some nice team play, but after that three science to the wind in favor of bombarding the irons from half the court and further back, the ma jority of their tries not even hitting the irons.
 McGrath ScoSeless
 Wilby, on the other hand, didn't break any shooting records, most of their tries bounding back on the playing surface. "Buz" McGrath, leading scorer, was held goalless for the first time this season, netting but a lone free rty.
 Blonde Johnny Brickel, green and white sophomode, broke into the starting lineup and prover the keyman in the Leemen's offense. The elongated youngster played cool passing game and fed many a set shot to his mates. He handled the ball like 8 seasoned performer and gave Coach Lee some comfort. He also managed to sneak down zeneath the basket twice to account for two of Wilby's ten field goals.

CHASE SETS BACK
 NCERSOLL OUTFIT

Chase Metal, pride, joy and top team of the Industrial Bowling League for 10, these many years, discouraged the up and coming Ingersou combine last night at the Mattatuck alleys with a 2 of 3 game victory over the Watchmakers who have been creating somewhat of 8 rumpus in the circuit for the past two weeks. However, Chase Is the team to catch up with American Brass, by virtue of its 3 of 3 win over Scovill last night having a chance to move into the battle for leadership down the home stretch next month.
 Sammy 2 Standout
 Sammy zaza of the Brassies was by far the best bowler on the alleys last night, with 2 1e0 high single and AIS triple that did much to help his team take high team total honors with an even 1900 pins. At this writing Chase has aDout three or four games the best of 1t as league leaders.

SPEEDBOYS GET HOME FLOOR OF
 HOOP RIVALS
Donation to Orphanage Is Suggested; Full-Fash-
 ions Here Saturday
By JOHN A. CLUNEY


 An out and out challenge to clear up the city basketball champion ship picture considerably on Friday, February II came from the man. agement of the West Side Speed boys to the Knights of Lithuania Speedboys, an interesting sidelight of the defy being suggestion by the West Sides that 2S per cent of the receipts after expenses 90 to St. Joseph's orphanage.
 Another oddity to the situation is the fact that the West Siders have secured the home court of the K. of L. for February Il, in- tending to play the Torrington Full-Fashions, but the Torrington team is here Saturday night to meet the K. of L. which prompted the West Side board of strategy to ask the Liths for 6 game on their own court, on the date mentioned, as the Full-FaShions would hardly be an attraction on the l1th if they are playing here on the 5th. The game, if arranged would be part of the elimination series planned by the W st Sides, who have already beaten the Olympics. and will prob ably take on the Raymond Hilhes who beat them last season. Then again Freddy Sullivan of the Rey- mond outfit also plays with the West Sides this season, and Stan Grey of the Siders has been in ac- tion with the K. of L.
 The "defl" as 1t is labled comes to the writer in this manner:
 DEFI TO K. OF L.
 The West Side Speedboys were
 told by the Full-Fashions that they would play us on their first appearance in Waterbury this year. if we could get a court that
 was satisfactory. We contracted for St. Joseph's hall for Friday,
 Feb. 11th. Now we find that the K. of L. play the Ftlll-FashionS on Feb 5th.
 We do not think it would be good business to bring the Full Fashions back to St. Joseph's hall in so short . time so we hereby challenge the K. of L. to play US on that date, right on their own court. We suggest 25 per cent of money after expenses are paid N go to St. Joseph's orphanage, and 60 per cent to the winner, 40 to the loser. St. Joe's Holy Name to play Blessed Sacrament in the early game, and K. of L. orcheS- tra to play for dancing.
 This game should draw 1000 people in that hall. We are told they want no part of US as they have everything to lose and noth- ing to gain. We. disagree there, as they get plenty of customers from the West Side and these people demand that they play us. Everybody else is beating them, so why not us? Why are they scout ing our team every game we play in town? Is it that they just want to see the game played or for some other reason?
 They could run this game the same as they do any other. All we ask is . man in the ticket booth and he is a small man.
 Now that the ball has really start ed rolling, it seems that Red James Gladney will have his oar in the title boat from now on, too, in view of his statement yesterday. printed yesterday for 1t is the Raymond Hillies that are actually defending city champions, in view of their win over the West Sides team last sea- son on a neutral floor, and that's where the payon is-on points.
