MIDDLEbURY ICE
 CLUB IN 'JAM'
Ineligible Players Are Used Twice By State
 LeaguerS

At a State League hockey meeting held last night at Meriden, the Mid- dlebury team was found guilty of violating an A. A. U. ruling concern ing the eligibility of players.
 All teams must register their play ers in the A. A. U. The first viola ton occurred when the .Middlebury team used Wally Bieman, Wally Montville and Red Murphy against St. Ann's Flying Frenchmen, Sun. day, Jan. 7th. They then used these men against Naugautck and Fair Haven.
 Bieman, Montville and Murphy had registered with the Waterbury Nationals, Bieman also taking out a rain check by registering with the Waterbury Maroons. They then turned around and played with a third team, namely, Middlebury.
 According to rules these men would have had to first get a release from their team. Upon getting this, they could then apply to the A. A.. U. for reinstatement, registering with the other team.
 Now these men must appear be- fore an A. A. U. board at New Ha- ven sometime next week at which time a decision will be handed down as to whether they will be suspend ed from the A. A. U. or not.

Yale Professor
 Raps Leagues

New Haven, Conn, Jan. l7-(UP) pr. Clarence W. Wendell, Latin professor who recently became head of Yale university athletics, today assailed "all this er-organiza- ton" which has developed in college athletics.
 Tt is bound to collapse sooner or later under It's own weight" Dr. Mem dell said. T can't see any advan- tage in having all these leagues, one for every sport.
 "What 1t amounts UU is that in- stead of arranging our own schedule as we see At we are told by the cen. tral office in New York whom we will play and when. It takes the thing out of our hands and about all that we get out of 1t is some unnecessary, and usually undesir. able, publicity"

 NAUCY TONIGHT

Naugatuck, Jan. 17.-A hotly- contested game is expected tonight at the Y. M. o. A. here when Crosby high of Waterbury invades the borough to meet its old rival, the Nauagtuck high basketball team,
 Naugatuck has the better record to date but so often do upsets ocs cur in the Crosby -Naugatuck tits that few here are giving much odds on Naugat,,ck. Despite It's 34-30 defeat Saturday in Torrington by the New City five, the local team showed good promise and encour- aged It's supporters, many of whom did not anticipate such a close game in Torrington.
 There will be preliminary tilt tonight between reserves of both schools, starting at 7:3o. A packed house is expected for the main game.

 Vaudeville Billed

Naugatuck, Jan. 17.-The Wood- lawn A. 0. of Ansonia have been selected to oppose the Naugatuck Chemical Alembics in their annual Chemical Night" basketball game to be held at the YMCA Friday night.
 The Copper City lads have a formidabel record already playing about 20 games this year with the leading teams of this state and Massachusetts. Worthy of mention is the fact that the Woodlawns were only defeated by one point by the Hull's Collegians of New Haven who in turn, have defeated the Merideil Insilcos, winners of the first round of the state league.
 The team from down the valley is led by Harry Kelly who for the past few years has been one of the out- standing basketball players in the state. The Woodlawns are high scoring team, averaging 50 points per game. Kelly is their leading scorer, averaging between IS and 20 points per game. Captain Frankie Edmonds or Winkus most likely will guard Kelly and either of these stalwarts should beable to hold him in check.
 Seek Four Straight
 The Alembics will be gunning for their fourth straight victory and will be out to keep their record intact, The Chemical makers also have rounded into a high scoring coin- bine and with such fine basket makers as Walt Booth, Bob Mari- ano and Jack Dunn in action, the game should develop itno Q high scoring affair.
 Others who vii SC action are Pe- trilas, Urashka, Thomas, Backtis, and Art Nauges, who. has de- developed a left hand shot tbat will eb hard to stop.
 The Chemical Night" activities will start at 7:30. Preceding the bas- ketball game will be a few boxing bouts and several acts of vaude- vile. The basketball lgame is scheduled for 9 p. rrl., and dancing will follow.
