BOYS CLUB FACES
 STAMFORD TONIGHT

The Waterbury Boys Club will play the Stamford Boys Club to- night at S:30 o'clock at the Cottage Place court. A preliminary game between the Bombers and Matta- tucks at 730 o'clock should be a great interest to court followers. These both teams are on even terms and great court tussle with plenty of action is in store for the basket ball fan. The Stamford team is built around Kowles, who plays cen- ter and high scorer in all their games, Kowles a big fellow will be offered plenty of fight by the Var sity center, Willie White. It will be great to see these two against each other. Kowles was named as Stan- ford team center and Kurowski also on the Stamford quintet was named forward on the City team chosen by their own sports editors. Pappas and Richiski will take care of the guard positions for the Lock City team. and will have to go some to stop Lapoini and Chipman of the Var sity at the forward positions in scoring. This same Stamford team will represent their club in both the state and New England tourna- ments. Both teams are on even terms and all in all it looks as though a tough game will ensue and spectacular one for the sport following.

KANSAS FLYER RUNS TONIGHT
 IN NEW YORK
Entered in 800 Meter Event-Other Strong
 Races Billed

New York, Jan. 7-(UP)-Star performers headed by master-miler Glenn Cunningham open the 1889 indoor track and field season in Brooklyn tonight in the 18th annual council Knights of Columbus meet.
 The appearance of Cunningham in the 8OO-meter event makes that the top attraction of the evening. but three other special races each are capable of stealing the show.
 Cunningham is flying to New York from Colorado where he has been featuring in the extension division of the University of Karl- sas. He arrives today and will catch few hours sleep before step- ping out against a classy field that includes Gene Venzke of the New York A. C., last years winner: Charley Beetham, former N. c. A. A. half-mile champion at Ohio State; Howie Borck, formerly of Manhat- tan and present I. c. 4-A. outdoor mile record holder; Leslie Mac- Mitchell, unbeaten N. Y. Q. fresh- man and Frank Slater, Fordham's national 1000 meter champion.
 Cunningham won the 800-meter in 1887 but tripped and fell on the curbing of the final turn last year.
 The 3,O00-meter Conklin trophy special shapes up as an event which might steal the thunder of the 800 because it has attracted such stars as Archie San Romani. American native record-holder at the distance and 1888 winner; Don Lash, Indiana state policeman: Tommy Deckard, another Indiana runner who holds the American steeplechase record and Joe Moc- clair of Manhattan, l. c. A out door two-mile champion.
 In the Columbus 500, Jim Her. bert, N. Y. U. junior, rules the fa- vorite on the basis of winning per- formances the last two years. His chief competition will come from Wesley Wallace, Fordham junior; John Borican of the Share A. o. Newark, National pentathlon and 800-meter junior champion; Mort Alnwick. Georgetown; Lou Burns, former Manhattan star and Edgar Stripling, of the New York A. c.
 Robert Rodenkirchen, North Tex as State Teachers College freshman who will carry the colors of the N. Y. A. C., will defend in the great American sprint series over the 60. 80 and 100 meter distance. He set world indoor record last year for 100-meters. He will be opposed by Marty Glickman, Syracuse; Eddie O'Sullivan, N. Y. A. C.; Herb Weast. Columbia; and Charles Wasserman, Brooklyn College.
 The running high jump handicap special has attracted Artie Byrnes, Manhattan's I. c. A, indoor champion; Howard Jensen, Phil- adelphia, and others.
