Grip seems to be quite popular with the fans. When he went into the game he received a great ovation. “Johnny" will give them something to applaud about next season, in the opinion of his friends. Gilbert High school is the next. The small town team expects to take the measure of the fast traveling Red and Gold. The following players are sure of a letter: Reynolds, LaHar, McCabe, ‘Weir, Neipp, Belser, Grip and Murtha. Before the game the Elm City team was hooping them in in fine style. Reynolds showed better form on the free throw line than he has shown in many weeks.

He flashed as a star on his first appearance, twice | equelling the world record of six sec- | onds for thé 45-.yard hurdles, indoors outdoors., Carl Hauers, of Harvard, the iIntercollegiate champlon, was among the men defeated by the Swedish star, Training with the track men of the will wear in competition as soon as he qualifies by residence to do so, Chris- tiernsson is said to be showing im- provement every day. he wore at Boston the uniform of the | Swedish Olympic team led to his be- ing identified as the man who won fifth and sixth places respectively for that country in the 400 metre and | 110 metre hurdles at Antwerp. He is the present Swedish hurdling cham- pion, But those who saw him run at Ant- werp and at Boston say his stride has changed for the better, the jack rab- bit like jumps having given way to a smooth negotiation of the barriers with speed on the flat like a sprinter. As Christiernsson is still working to improve his performances by using the smoother American style in pref- erencde to the “climbing” manner of hurdling used in Europe, and as he is capable of increasing his speed over the longer distances because of his rangy build, those who have seen him in action predict he will equal more of Thomson's records, and pos- sibly in a season or two surpass them. Liwe Thomson, however, Chris- tiernsson will add no strength to America’s team in the Olympics. At Antwerp Thomson, a native of Canada represented the Dominion, and at Paris next year, if Christiernsson competes at all, it must be for his native country, Sweden. So that the hurdling skill whick he is acquiring here may be turned against the coun- try under whose coaching he may reach greatness, " SHEEHAN TO PLAY AT STATE ARMORY ?“Snowshoes" Is Signed Again by New Britain Basketball Quimet Tonlight's Line-up.

Coming back on the floor Princeton reemed to be playing with new spirit and gradually crept up on the Green until four points separated the teams, with two minutes lert to play. The entire scoring of the visitors with the exception of two fleld goals, was made by long shots, the Dartmouth defense being so effective that getting near the hoop was an impossibility. A foul shot by Loeh, who was far from himself last night, only sinking 12 out of 22 free tries, brought the Princeton score to 22 points, while Dartmouth had 256 when the final gong sounded. Moore and Goas did well for the Green on foul shots, though Capt. Timmy Cullen was sore- Iy missed in this department. I'ried- mann had a big right for Dartmouth, eetting three field goals.

Chapman outscored Roche in the two closing rounds, mak- ing the verdict sure, The boys boxed before the biggest house of the season, the sale of tickets being stopped early in the night, Has Good Left Hand A flashing, snapping left hand and a pair of twinkling feet were the big factors in winning the decision for the Boston Hebrew. Chapman scored point after point with left jabs to the head, connected for some solid books with the same hand and used it as a camouflage to the stomach in a vain attempt to get Roche to lower his guard and permit Chapman’'s right cross to come into action, The Holyoke Flash fought a grand battle. For eight rounds he held his own with the speedy Boston lad, Roche did 90 per cent of the forcing and tried to make the battle a slug- fest, but Chapman refused to play in any such rough sport. Roche Takes Third The boys fought slowly and evenly in the first two rounds. In the third Roche won by a shade. In the fourth Chapman took the honors by a wide margin but Roche rallied and earned an even break in the fifth and fighting like a machine in the sixth won the points by as-big a margin as Chap- man had taken the fourth. The sev- enth and eighth were hard fought rounds, both even but in the ninth Chapman poked his way into the lead and in the 10th he made the decision sure by taking the round by a neat margin, Kayo For Cooncy The semi-windup lasted into the fifth round with Jimmy Cooney scor- ing a technical knockout over Jimmy Winters of New York., Winters, far | outweighing Clooney, made a good showing for the first two rounds but |after Cooney had sunk two or three left hand shots into his stomach Win- ters dropped and took the nine count.
