Speaking of Sports AL L L L T L T The Hapeville team from Water. bury took & well earned vietory from the National Guard Reserves Satur. lay night. The visiting team showed n very fihe brand of teamwork and helr guarding was especlally eftec- ve. A five man defense within the fit- een foot mark made it almost im- s0ssible to penetrate into scoring dis. tance and most of the local's points were from fouls or long range shoot. ing. 4 Gennetts and Max Finklestein were the two aces that saved the Iteserves from a worse defeat, The former made good on most of his (ree shots apd also hooked in a few beauts from the flopr. Maxie also | poked through several fine floor shots, two from near mid-floor being of the halr-raising variety and t fact ghat two were made in succe sion ‘made it evident that it was/ Maxie's eye, rather than his rabbit's | foot that was working. | | Carroll's shooting of five h.\ak»ls{ in five tries in the big game was a | feature and it was not until near the | close of the game that the Collegiates | missed a single free shot, As it was, 1 they missed but two in 13 tries. | Taylor had a bad time from the free mark, He was fouled 15 times during the game, but succeeded in | netting only a third of these. | Carrington, who played a whale or! a game with the Hopeville boys, is| a brother of Carrington of the West | Sides and formerly of the Washing- | ton colleglates, He's following in his big brother's footsteps as a star‘ athlete, All of the locals were a bit off | in shooting fouls for in addition to | Taylor's several misses, Reynolds got | but two out of six. Tedders missed | his two chances, Johnny Sheehan muffed his one and Restelli could| collect but one in three. | Dick Dillon chalked up the sea- son's first technical foul against the locals Saturday night when he de- tected Reynolds stepping over the lane line while Carroll was shooting. | Eddie Collins, recently named manager of the Chicago White Sox, improved with age, the statistics show. In his thirtcenth year in the | major leagues, 1920, he hit for ‘35".3 the highest average he has known. | Sinca 1919 he has led the second | basemen of the American league in| fielding four times, attaining his| highest average, .977, in 1924. Col-| lins' all-time batting average is .32 although he never has led his ¢ cuit as a hitter. Arne Borg, Sweden's champion swimmer, is expected to arrive in New York January 15 and to com- pete in the National A. A. U, indoor | championships in San #l'rancisco, | where he is expected to prove John- ny Weismuller's greatest rival, The American defeated Borg handily in| the Olymplc cgntests last summer.

Cannefax in- sists that no title can change hands as the three cushion champion must | fight his way through the national | competition.
