LARGE SQUAD OUT FOR TRACK SPORTS AT NEW BRITAIN HIGH SCHOOL - RED AND GOLD TRIUMPHS OVER BLUE AND WHITE IN UNIQUE BASKETBALL CONTEST — WEST END QUINTET OF BRISTOL HERE TONIGHT FOR OPENING GAME OF SERIES — MALONE KNOCKS OUT 0’DOWD SPEEDY WEST ENDS. | NEW BRITAINFIVE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS High School Beats Hartford, 9 o, 6, lor Trangaar Crown | The New Britain High school five| ropeated ita victory over Hartford| High scho~ of one month ago, )nm night in the Hopkins strcet gymnas-| {um, Harté=cd, and cmerged on the long ond of 9 to 6 score. This gives New Britain champlonship honors in/ the Triangular league, After about ten minutes of play- ing, Harold Welr, star guard and one of the most valuable men on the| team was put out of the game be- cause of his mix-up with Herting of the Hartford team, This gave “Johnny" Grip who was a substitute all season, a chance to make good.| He proved to be the sensation of one| of the most unusual games seen at the Hopkins street gymnasium in many years. The score at the end of the first half was New Britaln 2, Hartford 1. All three points were made by way of the free throw line. Any credit given to Grip would be just half as much as he deserves. Being satisfied to be substitute all season he showed his real ability last night when he was called upon to play a second time that night after playing a hard game with the second team in the opening game. Although the second team lost, Grip's all- around work was casily the feature of that game. His field goal in the first game was the one obstacle 1n Hartford’s chances of victory. Not only Grip but every other mem- ber of the team contributed his share toward the \ictory. Reynolds did well on the free throw line. He ana Grip werc the only two New Britain players who could locate the hoop from the floor. Bennett and Va Orden were the only Hartford players to accomplish the same feat. Neipp, who got the tough assign- ment of guarding DBennett, did very well. Bennett is the best man on the Hartford team, and any guard who holds him to a lone field goal is doing a night's work. It was plain to sce from the star: that both teams were on edge from the way they were continually throw- ing the ball out of bounds or into their opponents’ hands. Both teams played a defensive game which ac- counted for the fact Uldt neither team was able to score a field goal in the first half. The teams bat:fe 15 min- utes before cither of them could score a foul goal. With about five minutes left to play in the first half Reynolds scored two foul goals ana Silverman|s of Hartford onc. After about five minutes of hard playing in the second half Reynolds rang up two foul goals .naking the score 4 to 1. Later another foul was called on a Harttord player and Rey- nolds made it 5 to 1. At this stage of the game the Blue and White started an offensive rush that startlea the loyal rooters of the Iied and Gold. Var Orden broke through the New Britain detonse and scored the first field goal of the game for Hartford. On the next play every man on the Hartford team was under the hoop, and each of them took about five shots but the ball simply would not go in. It was here that Grip came to the rescue with a field goal from the middle of the floor, making the score 7 to 4. Bennett's field goal end- ed the scoring for the Capital City team. H Hartford had a chance to win by way of the free throw line. Duqu- ette, Silverman and Bennett had 14 chances to score from the foul line. The best they could do was to make two of that number. Reynolds mfade almost all of his trics count. ¥ The summary: HARTFORD HIGH Bennett Reynolfsy Duquette LaHar Left forward Van Orden . 3 McCabe Center Herting Silverman Right guard Weir Grip Mazotas Left guard Score, New Britain High 07, Hart- ford High 6; goals from floor, Rey- nolds, Grip, Van Orden, Bennett; goals from fouls, Duquette 1 out of 9, Silverman 1 out of 4, Bennett 0 out of 1, Reynolds 5 out of 11; referee, Dillon; time of halves 20 minutes. The second team game was an in- teresting affair. New DBritain lost 28 to 20, Although beaten the scconds showed some real passwork and a fighting spirit Palmer played the best game for the winners and Grip| for the losers. The lineup of the New | Britain team was as follows: O'Brien, center; Micezkowski, Belser, forwards; | Grip, Murtha and Barrows, Over 700 spectators were along the sidelines. Duquette can miss four faster than any two other could make them. One of the hardest workers of the night was the H. P. leader.

H. 8. track season open- ed up last week when some 40 can- didates answered Coach W. I\ De- laney's call for candidates. Out of these candidates there are just four veterans, but Coach Delancy expects to make a successful tram out of the material he now has at his disposal. He will be well assisted by Captain Charles Quigley and “Eddie” Dblaney, :aptain of last year's team. In the past the track tcam has al- ways been a success. In 1921 the team under the captaincy of Frank Delaney went through a schedule of three track meets without a defeat despite the fact that there 'was a weakness in distance men. The rea- son, a logical one, was that the men had no distance track to practice on. That year they had so many good sprinters that the apparent weakness in distance running was offset by the sprinters. lLast scason, the season of 1922 was not as successful as it might have been. Coach Delaney had some BE i t t CHARLES QUIGLEY Captain very good distance men but no field to develop them.

New York, March 17.—Tex Rickard yesterday was still considering a pos- sible opponent for Luis Angel Firpo at the Yankees' Stadium on May 12 when the South American is to ap- pear in a 15 round bout on the same card with Jess Willard and Floyd Johnson. The promoter stated that in looking over the field of available opponents for the glant Firpo he re- garded Billy Miske and Jack Renault as likely looking material. He also mengjoned Tom Gibbons. Judging by the &'uy Rickard spoke he is inclined to favor Jack Renault. He is of the opinion that Gibbons is too small for Mirpo. It was learned that Rickard is to have a conference with Ray'Archer, Willard’s representative, at the Gar- den on Monday. Just wilrat the mect- ing is for is shrouded in mystery. Rickard yesterday received a letter from Willard, who is training at Ex- celsior Springs, stating that he had heard that Floyd Johnson is ill. Jess requested Rickard to match him with Firpo in the event that Johnson is unable to ga-through with the match. Should Johnson be able to box and should Williard defeat him, the former champion told Rick- ard that he would be glad to give Firpo the next chance. S AT NAVY.

TROUT 17 NATIONS ENTER TEANS IN TOURNEY America to Have Four fn Davls Cup Matches' New York, Marchi 17.—Bevesteen nations—four in the American zone and 18 in the European zone have been drawh for competition for the Davis Cup, international team tennis trophy held by the United States. Representatives of 12 of the 17 challenging natlons witnessed the draw, which was in charge of Jullan 8. Myrick of New York, chalrman of, the Davis Cup committee of the United States Lawn Tennis Assocla- tion, and George W. Wightman of Boston, vice-president of the assocla- tion. In lh! American zone, Canada was drawn against Japan and Hawall against Australia in the first round.

The six remaining Européai com- petitorns were drawn in the lower half, first round matches bringing Spain against Rumania and British Isles against Belgium. Italy and Hol- land both drew byes and were pair- ed in the second draw. The results of the first sectional draw in Davis Cup histery were re- garded by tennis officials as proof of its advantage over the old 'single draw system. It was peinted out that, except in a few unaveiddble instances, the necessity of extensive traveling, which has resulted in past years in numerous defaults, was practically eliminated. In Opposite Halves Sppin and France picked by experts as two of the strongest challengérs, are in opposite halves of the Kuro- pean zone. ported inability 'of most of Australia’s \cteran players to take part in this year's contest, looms as the ‘mest. | likely finalist in the American zone.
