The great Paavo Nurmi will race at the armory in Hartford tomorrow night, while Willle Ritola also will take part in this track meet held under the auspices of the Weaver High school. Upwards of 150 ath- letes from many schools and colleges are entered. Tonight the Southington Pextos, with Chief Larson in thelr lineup, fight it out with Collinsville for a chance at first place in the Farm- ington valley league, Garcla and Herman swap punches tonight in the Waterbury ring. Washington college's basketball team, composed almost exclusively of Connecticut boys who have done thelr stuff at the armory here, won the Maryland state championship and also establiehed a national rec- ord this season by going through 20 games without a reverse, Carroll, Dumschott and are members of this team, McGan The Elihu Burritt Nationals yes- terday defeated the Celtics 36-29. This same team likewise defeated the 9-2-C team of the school 18-14. “Mert” Taylor, with hls damaged optic, ran wild in Hartford last night and sped along in old time form. He scored a dozen of the Nat's 29 points. The Lyrics, in winning 35-29, had to play unusually fast ball, but they were not far superior to the Nats, and tomorrow night's game at the armory should start with the two teams an even bet The Nats are determined to win, and if they do it will even the series at two each and make a fifth and deciding game necessary. The Boys' club- Joseph's con- test up in Poquonock last night was the weirdest game the locals have struck all season. Freak referecing and timing, booing by the fang, and all manner of rough stuff failed to stop the club, but they had their closest call and won by only 21-20. Referea McCormick is hardly to he blamed for his work. If he had displeased the home fans, they would have mobbed him without mercy. McCormick is now on pro- bation as a central board official, and if he wants to make good he had better get away from Poquon- ock before visiting teams send in too many unfavorable reports on his work. Ray Anderson’s heart was almost broken last night when he shot a beautiful long fleld goal, only to have the referee call “travelling.” McCormick had a disconcerting habit of doing this when New Brit- ain shot. . And the joke of it was that Po- quonock also figured it was getting a raw deal and tried to avenge it- self by roughing the referee. When New Britain took the lead in the closing minutes, the time- keoper blithely neglected to keep his watch going. Oh, it was great sport! The Gascos have called off their proposed game with the Boys' club. This leaves the club with- out a match for Monday, the 23rd.
