 The Big Idea
 The idea in major league hockey seems to be to socr the first goal if you want to win. One of the tatis- tically- inclined boys in town points out that the Boston Bruins have scored the first goal in IS of their games. They won 13 of these, tied one and lost only onel |. And the Bruins currently are leading both divisions in games won.
 And if that isn't enough to con- vince you, here are some more fig- ures In the 105 league games played to date, 65 have been won by the team scoring the first goal, g have ended in deadlocks and only IT have been lost.
 The move to put the return Dart mouth-H Harvard basketball game in the Boston Garden seems to be gain- ing momentum. When they played their first game in Hanover couple of weeks ago, the teams drew 5000 as much as the Dartmouth gym could hold. That was the game the Big Green finally won, 43-42, after the leading changed hands if times.

WELLES OPPOSE COMMUNITY FIVE
ReymOnds vs Tribes Also on Washington Park
 Court Tonight

Bereft of the services of at least a few of their standout performers, the Reymonds Hillies will face the Tribunes tonight with trepidation for their record which to date is smirched with only one defeat. In view of these circumstances, the game of most attraction will be the Welies-C s-Community club affray, which is also carded for otnight as preliminary. The prelim will start at 7:45.
 Although the Tribunes have hit the down-grade in their last three games, their punches may yet be strong enough to inflict deadly pun- ishment on the standing of the Hillies. To date the Hillies are nj first place, with the Gents of the Hill close second. A loss by the Hillies tonight will automat tically place the Gents at the top of the heap.
 Won Last Week
 The two teams, who by victories in last week'sNencounters altered the league standing considerably, will battle it ot tonight when the Welles and Community club meet. It was the Welles who knocked the Tribunes out of the rnning,a nd the Community club handed the Hillies their first defeat last Friday night.

CONTEST LOOMS BEST OF WEEK; CROSBY vS TECH
.LeavenwOrth at WiIby Gym Tonight Harding
 Coming

Crosby high schools fire-eating basketball outfit, anxious to build up a winning streak that will be the talk of the state, having already dis posed of five tough foes, takes on Leavenworth tonight in a tuneup for Harding next Tuesday in this city. The game tonight is part of the "city championship" setup between the three local high schools, and while Leavenworth hardly figures as a possible winner, it has team that can keep any sort of opposition on its toes, such as it did in Naugatuck two weeks back. Naugatuck is at Wilby gym tomorrow in game that is the standout of the state this week.
 Leavenworth is making slow but sure progress and while the team record is not over-run with wins the lads from Harrison Aliens school never stop trying to win, which is something in their favor. In fact, they try too hard most of the time, thereby effecting smooth team play, an element of successful basketball competition that comes only with experience and plenty of it. Playing better teams such as Crosby and Naugatuck whenever possible, will bring Leavenworth along in leaps and bounds.
 Promising
 Reserve teams of the two schools will meet at 7:30 tonight, and there by provide 8 lively tussle that may be plenty close, though Crosby has the hop on substitute material, too, though often, the prelims are much better games than the main go.
 As for Crosby, the team can be rated right now among the state leaders in view of having beaten Ansonia, Central, Harding, Wilby and Hillhouse, with the only black mark against them being a 40-19 trimming in Naugatuck before they hit their stride. And how they are itching for February to come around so that they can "get even" in spades. Incidentally the Crosby crew will be on hand in a body to- morrow night when Naugy comes to town to play Wilby in the best con- test of the week-on paper.

 Boston, Jan. 21-CUP)-Lettine the sports chips fall where they may: EXtryl Eddie Collins, who batted against both of them, rates Grover Cleveland Alexander over the inn mortal Christy Mathewson in his own personal book.
 The Red Sox General Manager happened to be talking about Alex ander's recent election to baSeball's hall of fame. No one is more en- thusiastic about the new honors that have come to the ancient right handler than Collins.
 "Alex was the best National League picher I ever faced" he asserted. And that's doing heap of asserting because in his 25 years as an active player with the Philadelphia Ath- letics and Chicago White Sox, Col lins faced all the really good ones.
 Tried Elm All
 Either in world series competition or exhibition games, he batted against such National League aces as 4NAOAdOS 41AOhA1, 4OtlDC Dick Rudolph, Bill James, George Tyler, Jeff Tesreau, Jess Benton and Ed Reulbach-to mention a few.
 Alexander gave me more trouble than Matty," added Collins, who was one of the top-fight hitters of his day. T wouldn't want to say which of the two was greater, but Alex cer- tainly was tougher to bat against than anybody I ever faced His greatest asset was control. He could put ball just where you hit least effectively He also had a splendid curve ball and a good fast one, and he was mighty smart After pitching to fellow once, Alex knew his weakness"
 It might be mentioned that Col lins faced Alexander only in exhibi- tion games. Whereas, he ran ur against the great Matty in world series games Whene the chips really were down. Collins himself came close to winning niche in the re- cent hall of fame election, but isn't disappointed because he missed out. T feel highly complimented that

The final straw was broken when Walsh took the boy to the Rose Bowl game on New Years day, where he sat between his father and Lou Gehrig. The yOungster evinced no enthusiasm over the honor that would have driven any other boy mad with joy. He sal by the game or by his distinguished companion. After his supreme test, Walsh decided that it was no use and signed the papers surrendering him.

Yet there are minute changes
in fashion that must be conSld-
cred. So today's column is dedl-
Gated to those girls who are not
above fixing over a pet.
Since the true fitted look IS
disappearing in the bodice ana
street skirts are one TO TWO
inches shorter than they were a
year ago, many frocks can be
made to look up to the minute II
these two points are watched. A
trick is to shorten the frock at
the waistline. When the skirt Is
raised and fitted in at this
point, the top of the frock auto
maticalIy becomes shorter and
a little fuller.
Short sleeves are now on the
wane, but it isn't a bad idea to
turn such sleeved frocks into
jumpers. 1t has been years since
jumpers have enjoyed the vogue
they are having this fall.
Jane Wyman is rejuvenating
her favorite frock of plaid wool
