DEVENS SOLDIER 'PRIDE OF.
 AAU RING MEET

Boston, March 20 - CUP0 - Four slugging sailors from Quonset, R. l., today had captured team honors in the New England A. A. U. boxing championships but the outstanding star of the amateur tourney was a huge soldier heavy weight from Fort Devens.
 Four of the seven titles fell to the Rhode Island gobs at the Boston Arena last night but the coveted George V. Brown trophy emblem atic of the outstanding fighter went to ponderous Ed Wagner.
 Towering six feet, six inches, and tipping the scales at mere 257 Wagner appeared somewhat ludi- crouS as he squeezed through the ropes and lowered himself on a pro- testing stool. But he took only a little more than three and half rounds to chill three opponents and prove that he packed plenty of lethal leather.
 Surprise
 Eddie Bonnetti, a Boston High school sophomore who never be- fore had been in a ring, electrified the 3,934 fans in a semi-flnal by defeating Marion Zullo of Chelzea, the 118-pounder who was the only defending champion entered. How ever, Bonetti who had been train ing two weeks in his cellar with neighborhood kids, was eliminated in the finals. The champions.

DE PAUL AND MIKAN CLASS
 OF MISC MEET
BY ROBERT DETNDORFER United Press Staff Correspondent

V
 New York. March 20. - (UP) - The defending champion. St. Johns Redmen remained in the National Invitational basketball tournament today by the margin of a despera- tion field goal Even their staunch- est supporters were leaving the bandwagon to get abroad with De- Paul's Blue Demons.
 St. Johns had mostly its pluck to recommend it after it's uphill fight last night to defeat Murhen- berg, A to B, but the Madison Square Garden fans have installed DePaul as even money and St Johns has dropped to to to win the tournament.
 St. Johns is expected to have a tougher foe in its next game to- morrow night against Bowling Green of Ohio, than DePaul will have in opposing the Turquoise-clad Rhode Island state speedsters.
 Rhode Island plays a game simi- lar to the type employed by West Virginia and DePaul eliminated the Mountaineers, 76 to 52, last night. The Blue Demons slowed down the fast-breaking West Virginian, then beat them at their own game, of- fensive speed.
 Tommy Larkin, sophomore sub stitute, made the goal in the final two minutes that kept St. Johns in the tournament. A weak defensive player noted only for his set-shoot- ing ability, Larkin was caught far to the side and no one to pass to. Without blackboard to guide him he looped in the winning goal which didn't even touch the hoop.
 Muhlenberg had IA to B Half time lead.
 Sky-High Star
 DePaul's victory simply was case of brilliant defensive coordination and too much sharp-shooting by George Mikan, whose B points es- tablished a new seasons high for the Garden. His g points in the first half was new tournament record. The six-foot, nine-inch "sky-high-guy" was called out on fouls late in the game and each West Virginia player shook his hand as he left the floor.

Bristol Teoms
 Go We'll In Valley Meet

The Bluejays upset the Zephyrs, Jr. 41 to g in a game marked by the inability of the Borough lads to make their shots find the basket and also their poor foul shooting. making good only out of 2 tries while the Bluejays got for nine from the foul line and couldn't miss on their floor shots. The Jays lost Silva and s. Lawlor with fouls in the last period but managed to keep up their shooting spree and nearly doubled their half itme lead to 9 to 14 Silva, Davis and B. Lawlor figured high on the scoring list for the winners while Damiano was high scorer in his attempts to keep the Zephyrs in the game.
 Bell TOwners Good
 The favored Bristol Local 802 lived up to advance notices by downing a good Umbriago team 43 to 23. Of to @ slow start Bristol started piling them up in the second period and increased their lead in every period thereafter. The Umbriagos led only in the first period which they won g to 5. The half ended 25 to Is in favor of Bristol. The third period was pretty even and the last period was a hectic rough battle with men going out via the five foul route. Piersall, Sherivil and Santogatta were lost to the UmbriagoS while Bristol lost Graham. Referees Longo and Latanzio called 46 fouls, 26 on the Umbriagcs and 20 on Bristol in their attempt to lessen the rough football game which the game proved to be. Vincino of Bristol was high man with 12 points; while Cochiola was high for the Um- briagos with g counters.
 The final game of the triple at- traction saw the Naugatuck News downing the Washington Hills in the best-played game of the eve- ing. Stimson and Good were out- standing for the Newsboys with 18 and IS points respectively while Doc Savage stood out for the Hills with 13 markers. The Hills were in the battle for three periods and at the half the score was News 29 Hills g. The last period saw the Hills slow down somewhat.

Every one admits the Chicago
Black Hawks have a sensational
forward line in the Bentley broth
ers and Bill Mosienko. but it's be-
ginning to look as II that's all they
have got.
The dynamo line created the
spark for Chicago's early season
drive In the National Hockey
League and it paid OF again last
night as the Hawks, calling on
their ace attackers for 100 per cent
OF their goal production, staggered
10 a 3-3 tie with the New York
Rangers.
Alex Shibicky counted twice for
the Rangers and Alb Demarco scor-
ed the other New York tally.
A Thanksgiving holiday crowd
OF 1888 I'm the Chicago Stadium

da's rass at 1912 OF the third per-
iod 10 achieve the deadlock.
Earlier Chicago had taken a 30
lead with Doug Bentley sinking
two goals and Brother Max one.
The Bentley.Mosienko trio &C.
cumulated five scoring points, Most
enko drawing assists on two OF the
goals sniped by his wingmen. The
