Come ready for play be- cause action will commence follow ing the selection of teams and the drawing up of schedule. Players should be between the ages of IS and IS.

Members of the State League team will officiate at these contests and they will do their best to explain things as they occur such as fouls and improved technique.

Dukes, Autoyre Teams Hold Lead In O-W League
By BOB PALMER, JR.

The Oakville Dukes and the Autoyre company maintained their lead in the Recreation league with easy victories last week. The Water town Mfg. combine turned in the seasons first upset with one point win over the powerful Chestnut Hills: Community Market recorded their initial triumph and the Colonials and Oakvile A. A. stayed in the cellar.
 The Dukes disposed of their neighborhood rivals, the Kiesels without too much effort. The lat ter club never tailed more than single field goal per period, their attack being helpless against the blue and golds impregnable zone defense. Gordy Burke performed brilliantly for the winners. It ap- pears on the strength of the Kiesels performances thus far, that the Dukes, preseason favorites, are go- ing to get more opposition from other sources
 The Watertown Mfg. team, who just week previous dropped @ thrilling one point verdict to the Kiesels, came up with a surprising win over the powerful Chestnut Hills Tuesday. The game was decid- ed in the last six seconds of play when Bud Spugnola sank foul try. The winners were outscored from the floor but eleven foul conversions turned the tide in their favor.
 The Autoyre company remained fin e tie for first place with an easy victory over the A. A. The factory team is riding, for @ fall however as they really go up against stern opposition from now out. There is at least four teams better than the "Wireites" in the circuit and time will tend to prove 1t.
 Owen Carey's sixteen points the Community five in losing cause topped the leagues scoring for the week and tied him with Mickey Marens for seasons high honors.

The Intermediate A league will swing into action this evening at GAS when the Bulldogs and Abriga- ders take court action. against each other. Following this basketball thriller the forces of the River Aces and the stalwart Vikings will shoot the works. The evenings program will be climaxed by the tilt between the Vagabonds and the Bees. All three contests should prove to be very close and will have important reactions regarding the first round winner.
 A bouquet of Waterbury Roses to the hard fighting Bdmbers of the Boys club. Undefeated as vet this season and losers of only about three contests last year this organization will rank among many of the cream of the crop of the ages in Boys club quintet history. Facing first class opposition in their class the Bomb- CTS have proved too strong on all occasions and now must canvass the ranks of this sections enior basket- ball units to line up opposition that will enable them to work up an honest swea. The Bombers have three characteristics that spell yic- tory and when one fails one of the others is always around to carry them through. These characteristic are fight, shooting skill, and team play when well shaken and proper " mixed they make combination that will and has licked teams that are too well known and reputedly powerful to mention here.
