In the Victory League COMPETE
ton last night at the Boys Club,
the Enkcors upset the Robins Is to
10 in the opener. The Robins paced
by Fred Coelho moved into an early
lead and led 10 to 4 at the Z first
quarter, but it waS here that Coelho
took himself and Labonte out Of the
game and the Robins seemed to
lose their touch. The Enkcors got
hotter as the game progressed and
led at the half IS to II and at the
third period % to Is. In the last
stanza the Robins put in their start
ing lineup but were unable to make
up their deficit in the face of the
determined stand of the Enkcors.
General led the Enkcors with IL
points while Knapp was high for
the Robins with counters.
In the second Of the nights games

TOOL VS. BENRUS,
u. S. RUBBER and
CLOCK SIS SET.

Dusty basketball activities listed
for this evening at the Central "Y"
gym include twin program which
will bring the third week Of the
1894 campaign to close.
At $3.50 sharp, the Waterbury
Tool hoopmen will step out against
Benrus Watch and the WatcoS will
be shooting for victory No. 8 In q
row and co-leadership Of the cir
cult with Chase.
In the feature billing at $50
o'clock, U. S. Rubber Of Naugatuck
takes on George Graham's scrappy
Waterbury Ingersoll five, a team
which may prove to be a Ozark
horse" in the championship race.
Despite the fact that Waterbury
Tool will be favored over Benrus,
the Watchmakers have q couple Of
good marksmen in Levine, former
New York luminary, and Hertling,
husky center, who may make it
hot for the Navy cagers.
Eddie Magas has well-balanced
outfit in Bill Sweeney. Larry Bull
cite, Eddie Stanley, Bull Rinaldi,
Andy York and others. York Is the
leading scorer with IS points and
should add to his total this evening
Favored
From all accounts, the Rubber
basketeers are out to take fall GU
of the Checkers and show q 2-1
record in the team standing after
tonight's tussle with the Graham
directed aggregation. Mahan, Walk
err, Rhodes, Farrar and other Rub
Der performers appear to have too
much power for the Ingersoll five.
Chairman Ed McGrath, of the
Industrial Recreation association
physical committee, who SUPERVISE
the Dusty loop, expects a large
turnout for the twin offering to-
night.
John Cluney and Pat Slattery
will officiate, working in both con-
tests.

dope accurately what a squad of
% men will do in game frequently
lost by pass receiver missing a
catch by sixteenth of an inch?
A powerful lot Of conniving would
be required to throw football
game. Too many would have to be
involved.
Practically all the professionals
are college men, and there's still
quite bit Of Joe College in them
They like to win. They are high
class bunch Of men, many of them
successful coaches or in business or
in another profession. Smearing
their characters by snide innuendos
Is blow below the belt. Hurting
such an unsupported accusation is
worse than writing an anonymous
letter. No names are mentioned,
nothing specific is charged.
The source Of the rumors Is
enougth to discredit them.
Seven long shots have come down
in front in 20 fights at Madison
Square Garden this year. And no
body has limited that fight was
in the bag.
Surely, college-bred football play
ers deserve at least as much con-
sideration or trust as the pork and
beaners masquerading as fighters
today.

Hoop Coach Favors
Curb On Toll Men

New York, Dec. IA U.P0 -
Henry IBA, coach of the Oklahoma
A. g. M. basketball team which
meets City College at Madison
Square Garden tonight, said today
he was in favor of legislating
against all players even though he
has a seven foot center, Bob
(Foothills) Kurland, as his key de-
fensive man.
Iba said he used Kurland and
was glad to have him under exist
ing regulations, but that he favored
an amendment which would make
it illegal for such tall players to
interfere with a ball in flight after
it started the downward half of its
arc.
Stressing the advantage of rangy
players, he pointed out that Kur-
land batted away Is shots in A. &
Mrs Al to 80 overtime victory
over Westminster at Buffalo, N. Y,
Saturday night.
A. g. M. is distinct favorite to
beat the City College quintet, while
Long Island University is the
choice to defeat Brigham Young
University Of Utah in the nights
other game.

BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Sports Editor

New York, Dec. 13.-George Pres
ton Marshall, owner Of Redskins,
says the furry Of rumors of crook
edneSs in professional football was
precipitated by Sammy Baugh visit
ing Washington bookmakers
home socially.
Well, If that contaminates Baugh
what about the Giants? The New
York Club is owned by book
maker, Tim Mara. One Of the pro-
prietors of the Pittsburgh-Phila-
delphia Steagles, Art Rooney
crashed headlines as one of the
more spectacular racetrack plungers
Charley Bidwell, owner Of the Chi
cago Cardinals, has definite rae
ing tint. At least two head coaches
in the National League, Steve
Owen of the Giants and Greasy
Neale of the Steagles, are habitual
horse players.
Professional football in its rapid
growth hasn't been choosey in the
selection Of the personnel OF its
directors.
But if this talk Of the old phonuS-
bolonus persists, Commissioner Lay
den may find it incumbent to fol-
low the Lands and baseball pri1l-
ciple and clean the ranks OF every
one associated with racing or bet
ting in any form.
Without assuming the role OF a
pollyanna, however, I'm inclined to
pooh-pooh the talk Of fixed foot
ball growing out of upsets. There
will be startling form reversals as
long as men meet in competition.
The mere fact that those gam
bling on results wind up behind the
eight ball Is not sufficient ground
for besliming a sport by impugning
the honesty of the game and those
who play it.
Professional football was way be-
low par this fall, and cheap horses
have no form. If gamblers can't
figure which horse will win a six
horse race, how can they expect to
