PURPLE KNIGHTS
 OPPOSE K. OF |.
Naugatuck and Waterbury Teams at St. JOseph's
 Hall Sunday

With third game against the West Side Speedboys unnecessary Manager Johnny Stanktls of the K of l.. signed a Sunday night game with the Naugatuck Purple Knights at St. Joseph's court in the Brook lyn section of the city. The game figures to be a good one, even without Johnny Kelly, the former Notre Dame grid and hoop star, who is at his home in New Jersey. Henry Carrigton will officiate the game which will be preceded by the usual preliminary In which St. Jo- seph's Holy Name will be one of the contending teams.
 Naugy's Purple Knights, coached by John Balinsky, former Syracuse star have won l2 of i7 games this season and figure to give the K. of L. quite q game If Kelly does not appear for action. and he is hardly to be expected in view of the fact that he did not show for the much more important game with the West Sides.
