 Oppose K. of L.

The K. of l.. basketeers meet up with new opponent Saturday night at St. Joseph's hall, taking on the famed Harlem Valley hospital outfit from Wirgdale, N. Y.
 The New Workers have won 19 of 20 games this year, their only set- nack being a 43-42 affair with the strong Kokomo Clowns. They have trimmed, among others, the Georg- ia Chain Gang, House of David (twice) and New Milford Defenders (twice).
 They have been Duchess county champions for the last three years and are leading the county circuit again this season with 13 straight victories.
 A starting five composed of play CTS with college experience will take the floor against the Liths. Ken Ritchel, of Bridgeport, who has starred at Ohio State and in the State league with the Danbury Guards and Norwalk Newfields, will hold down 8 starting forward post along with oJhn Gilbert, former Syracuse performer. Johns brother, Steve, a former St. Bonaventure standout, will be seen at center and the guard berths will be handled by John Rucinski, St. Bonaventure, and Ernie Downer, Cornell.
 StandOut
 The leading scorers of the club are RitcheI and the GilbertS. Ru- cinski and Ritchel are the play makers, with the former reported to be terrific on defense Downer is a Workhorse under the basket and has plenty of speed, to boot.
 Steve Gilbert played pro football with the Buffalo American league club last season.
 The Liths have the word of John Kelly, their high-scoring forward, that the WingGale array is a dyna- mite-packed unit, since he speaks from the experience of having play ed with the New Milford Defenders as they took two severe drubhings from the Harlem Valleyites.
 The Knights will be out to regain their 800 status, needing victory to make their seasons record six and six Henry Darlington will ref cree the game, which will start at 9 o'clock, dancing following St. Jo- sephs Holy Name and a suitable opponent are down for a 7:30 pre- iminary.

SCHAEFER SURE
 TO TEST HOPPE

Chicago, Feb. 13-(UP)-The boys who put their money on Willie Hoppe to win the 1941 world three cushion billiard championship were suuirming in their chairs today wondering whether the master had the stuff to put him through his last two games.
 Their doubts began when Hoppe dropped his first game in 36 con- secutive tournament matches to Welker Cochran, San Francisco veteran. They increased last night when Hoppe barely edged out Allen Hall of Chicago, 50 to 48, in a 56- inning tussle. Today the champion, only recently recovered from a se- were attack of influenza, meets Jay Bozeman of Vallejo, Calf, who dropped out of second place tie last night when he was beaten, 50 to 40 in 59 innings, by Jake Schaef- fer, Jr.. of Chicago. Friday he meets Schaefer, an even tougher oppo- nent.
 Where Hoppe stands in the final match vii lnot be determined def initely until after Schaefer meets hall tonight. Should Hoppe and Schaefer end the tournament in a tie Friday night, they would be forced to play a run-off Saturday.
 Cochran. who received notice when he became the first to defeat Hoppe. established another mark in the tournament yesterday when he broke the contest record for high runs with B billiards against Ar thur Rubin of New York. Cochran won the match, 50 to 28 in 30 in- ningS.
 Otto Reiselt of Philadelphia de- feated Arthur Thurnblad of Ken osha Wis, 50 to 37 in 49 innings.
