seniors. These lads after a year of schooling in the fine points of bas- ketball will really put Sacred Heart on top in the next few years. And all this reserve strength hinges around the fact that the East End school seems to be getting the best of the Parochial School athletes, who are rated very highly at the present time.
 AS the basketball picture shapes up now at Sacred Heat there will be three varsity teams. about II members on the junior varsity com hine and two teams Of freshman who will compete in the freshman league.
 Coach Conlan has two games pending with Wilby and a possible game with Gilbert. The East End mentor said that the only thing which is holding up the completion of the schedule is that the two coaches have to get together on the dates.
 The way things look now Sacred Heart will once again have another championship basketball array this season. Although the competition will be stiffer, the caliber of the Sacred Heart athletes is going up each season and their reserve strength will pull th:m out of many a tough spot. Schedule:

Esquires Oppose Torringtoni0ns

The Bunker Hill Esquires will meet the Torrington East Ends at the Bunker Hill School gym tonight at 7:30. The Esquires have been beaten twice this season by the North End Spartans and the Wa terbury Companies of the IRA league while they have won six other con- tests. This game should be a thrill- CT because of the fact that the New City aggregation is considered to be pretty stiff competition.
 Teams desiring to book home-to- home games with the Esquires are asked to contact Manager Win Ma loney at 3-ol89 after P. M. daily. The Esquires are now booked at home for the next three weeks. But road games are desired.

Wrestling Fans Enjoyed Tag
 Team Mntch

Everything from comedy to near mayhem studded the first Australian tae team wrestling match ever ofs lered ln this city at sk Josephe Hall last night and the largest crowd Of the current season thoroughly enc loved the novel program, There was plenty of bitter action In the ring and at the conclusion Of the main bout one Of the participants tn the main tussle became engaged In Q skirmlsh with one of the spectators ln the hallway before Policemen Jack Drlscoll and Freddy sullivan lntervened.
 Irish Oeorge renlhan, Boston Bad Man, and Rowdy Michael Leone ot Italy, teamed up Go defeat Ray schwartz of Germany and Ape Tourist, California Hebrew, In the best two-out-of-three falls, though the llleRal tactics of Lenlhan caused the downfall of Tourist In the de- cidinr fan. The majority Of fans hooted and howled as Lenlhan, standing outside the ring while Leone and Tourist were tearing at each other in that do-or-dle spirit, held his knee inside the ropes as his teammate pushed the Hebrews head directly into Lenlhans knee. Tourist went down like a ton Of brick and Leone fell on him as Ref- cree Joe Skubas of Bridgeport counted him out.
 Tourist Hit
 The winners took the first tall after is minutes of heated action highllghted by a body press by Leone on Tourist after benihan, standing outside the ropes, had uummeiled the Hebrew with right crosses that would put Tami Mauri- ello to shame. Everytime the ref- eree's attention wis distracted from Tourist or Schwartz, Lenihan would let 20 a terrific right, or pull the hair of the Hebrew, or step on his toes, much to the dismay of the crowd who wanted to see the Your ist-Schwartz combination triumph.
 The spectators got their wish in the second fall when after i7 min- utes Schwartz pinned Lenihan after employing football tactics which felled the huge Trishman.
 Tourist and Schwartz had the bout ali but won after 10 minutes of action in the deciding fall, but weren't able to pin either adver- sary although they had both in pre- carious positions on several occa- sions.
 Leone and Lenihan then turned the tables to gain the decision ale though most of the fans were firm in their belief that the losers had held the upper hand most of the evening.
