Meets Corbin Screw’ Stanley Rule Battles Buttmakers Play in the Industrial Basketball league will be resumed tonight at the Y. M. C. A, gymnasium when four teams clash in two games, three of them appearing in the sea- son's play for the first time. The first game tonight will be started at $ o'clock with the second following shortly afterwards. The first clash tonight will wit- ness the appearance of the Corbin. Screw team in Industrial league bas- Ketball, in recent years. The oppo- sition will be furnished by Johnny axe and his band of warriors from | Russell & Erwin. Although the Corbin Screw team has not yet had its baptism of fire, pre-scason appearances have stamp- [cd the five as a strong contender |for the league title. The team has been going through weekly practice sessions and all the players have the |finer points of the game down to perfection. Although the team Is new to the Dusty league, the play- ers have long been in the basketball limelight in this city. The R. & E. team will take the floor with almost the same make-up as it had last year when it threat- |ened the leaders and lost out just by a change in luck. The Wash- |ington street crew wants to win the |first game tonight and for that rea- son, a quintet of players near the top of form will take the floor. It looks like a real battle. The second game of the evening will show a Stanley Works team that is entir ly rejuvenated as was proved in the first game of the year last week, battling the team that is |favored by the majority of the fans to win the championship this year, the Stanley Rule & Level outfit. The Stanley Works will give any team in the league a tough battle this |year. The five is a totally different {one from last year and shows a |great deal of power. | Jimmy Murphy has gathered to- {gether a team for the Rulers that |even before the season is hailed as {the champion outfit of the league, he Rulers battled in the first di- vision last year, but could not just reach the top. Tonight, the team {will appear on the floor, a different |combination than last season, but | |with the winning punch present. | | Because of the rivalry between the [ two plants, both of whom are parts of the Stanley Works, this should | he a real battle. Dick Dillon will referce tonight. |Last week, Dick had his first game and he probably wasn't as strict as [he usually is. Tonight, he will have | |to be on his toes, because two hard zames are to be played.

Although Tad Jones is happy at Yale over the stirring stand of the Elis against the Tiger foe last Sat- urday and plans little change in the front that will face Harvard, the Crimson machine is due for a com- plete voverhauling. Coach Arnold Horween shattered tradition and an- nounced to his squad at Cambridge that a sweeping reorganization of the eleven would take place this week. Only two men, due to the Crimson's disappointing showing against Brown, are certain of places in the starting line-up. Pratt will be at guard and Sayles at fullback. Captain Coady, injured in the Prince- ton struggle, will fill a tackle berth it his condition permits, and Army, the three leading candidates for the castern laural wreath, take “breath- ers” this week in Loyola, New orful feature of Saturday's conflicts | HARVARD AND YALE WILL FURNISH WEEK'S CLASSIC - Drama Has Been Robbed of Much of Its Importance By Early Season Defeats—Crimson Machine Due For | — Navy, Brown and Army Take “Breathers” This Week — Georgetown and * Fmdham to Clash in Annual Classic in New York. Hampshire University, respectively, as final preps for last | major battles, Lafayette and New York University, two other undefeat- | ed and untired elevens, bring their successful seasons to a close. Lafay- ette has ltitle to fear from the I. | high squad, a battered outfit that has suffered many defeats, but New York , must tackle the husky Corn Planters of Nebraska in Lincoln. The mighty Georgetown outfit that outplayed Navy for three periods \ and only succumbed to the middie drive in the final quarter, brings a massive squad to New York for the annual Fordham engagement, West Virginia has a tartar in Carne- gie Tech in the only other outstand- ing meetings of the day. “Whippet” Carr, flashy Syracuse back, still high up among the indi- ¢ vidual point scorers with 59, despite the fact that he donned moleskins yesterday for the first time since October 16, when he was badly hurt in the Army game, is working lightly in the hope of seeing action against Niagara Saturday. Holy Cross has a tiit with the much-defeated Boston University eleven and Boston Col- lege takes a final workout against | Providence college. GUARDS TO OPEN SEASON SATURDAY Pexto Five of Southington Will Play First Game at Armory team will open the 1926-27 season at the state armory on Arch strect Saturday night against the Pexto A. C. team of Southington. This will be the opening gun of the local team in its quest for the state profession- |al basketball title this year The Pexto team this |been completely reorganized and in its practice sessions appears to be a formidable combination. Only a few | ot the veterans who made up the team last year appear in the lineup but a number of new stars have been added to the roster and the lo- cals will find the opposition much | tougher this year than lagt. The Pextos have been Dxa(‘(lclng for the last month and a half and fter several scrimmages with teams in the vicinity of Southington, th {will furnish a real threat to the lo- cals in their first start. The team augh, who informer years was a star guard, and he is also acting as oach. Several high school stars of last year are playing on the team this year. The locals have been practicing hard for the past month and right now, most of the players appear to be in the pink of condition. The combinations which are being tried out at the armory all work smooth- ly together and from pre-season ap- pearances, New Britain will be a strong bidder for the state champ- ionship. Saturday night's game will be a forerunner of two tough games the following week.

The rivalry that exists between the two clubs is too well known to need any further mention here, but with the two teams almost exactly as they wero last year, the two contests next week, should be productive of some of the best bas- Ketball in years. The fact that Manager Lanpher has booked the Endees for the sec- ond and third games of the year, bears out his statement that he 11 tends to bring the foughest oppos tion possible to this city this com- ing scason to meet his team. The * schedule of games is being made up and when completed, will show fhe best in this section of the country signed up. Manager Tanpher will also | nounce his starting lineup the lat- |ter part of this week. He has any number of combinations that should work to perfection, There fs (I incomparable duo of Reynolds s Taylor with Jos Jasper to work with elther one, at forwards; Solmansiy for forward or center and Gir 1!\()“'Skl for center, and Kilduit Sheehan and “Butsy” Sturm in the back court.
