$6L 32696 Speaking of Sports The National Guard basketball team is due to meet the strongest team of the season in Sam Pite's Collegians at the state armory Sat- urday night. The former Yale star | has collected together one of the most imposing arrays of basketball | talent in the state and will trot them out for the fans of this city at the weekly game at the armory. The team which has New Haven as its home port has Mendell and Rubinsteln for forwards and a sweeter pair never before played on the same team. Mendell is an ex- Cornell star and plawed here with the Meriden Insilcos against the local team. Rubenstein is a former Syracuse University star and was one of the best court men ever to attend that university. Pite will be at center. He was one | of the best basketball players ever to grace the court for Yale uni- vrsity and since leaving the college, has been the leading scorer in pro- fessional basketball circles through- out tife state. Melneker, formerly of Cornell and | Gitlitz, formerly of Yale, will form the guarding combination and these two will keep the local forwards go- ing at a top pace all the time, Starting with this game, the Na- | tional Guards are In for a tough campaign. The team will play the Meriden Endees in that city Wednes- day evening, December 22. Christ- mas night Erny Neipp's All-Stars from the University of Alabama- Southern will play here. New Year's night, the City College club of New York will oppose the locals on the local floor. | On January 8, the Plainfield team, the only outfit in the state so0 far to £core a victory over the Guards, will play a return game here. January 5, the Atlas of New Haven, two years ago the state champions and last year three times conquerors of New Britain, will be the attraction. January 22, Middletown will oppose the local team on the home court and the last Saturday in January, the Greenpoint, L. I, Hebrew (enm! will play here. ‘With this lineup, the Guards will have a busy time keeping up their winning streak. If the team is to lose, it will be to some one of this aggregation. Ray Holst, center on the P. and ¥. Corbin team and pivot man on the American team of last year, has been playing with the Elmwood En- dces for the past few games but he will join the Middletown team Sat- urday night as regular center. Holst played several games with the Pexto | team in Southington and starred in | all the games he appeared in. We expect to see him go like wild 11 with Middletown. The death of Charles Pegulihan of Paris, France, following his fight with Al Friedman of Boston in Hartford Monday night, was an un- fortunate affair. A subscription {s being taken up in Hartford to ship his body back home and the ‘“Her- &ld” will be glad to accept any con- tributions towards this fund and send it to Commissioner Thomas Donohue in Hartford. Anyone wish- ing to send in contributions through this publication may mall them to the sports editor. It was a strangs thing, but through superstition, Pegulihan chose the corner in which he sat during the rest periods between rounds. He started to sit in the northeast corner but when he learn- ed that the two men who had won the first two fights had sat in the opposite corner, he moved over there. Visions of another record like that of two years ago floated beforo the eyes of the spectators at the Boys’ club game Monday night when the present team showed promise of equalling the great quintet of 19§4- 1925. In that year, after the chub team found fitself, opponents from all over the state were picked and the team went into Massachusetts and New Jersey after teams of its caliber, but none could withstand its pace and many teams went down ignominiously as the club went through to the end of the season with an unbroken record of 18 straight wins. : GiftStore for Men Just the Thing!

Last year Coach Ray Anderson had to begin all over, for one of the only two veterans left injured his knee in practice and is still unable to play basketball. So the 1925-1926 team was only fair. But this winter the only loss has been the final veteran of two years ago, and the group which formed the team last year has developed wonderfully. Anderson teaches passwork, and very few long shots are teed by his teams. Monday night, with a stern opponent in the Meriden Pawnees, the club showed its real stuff completely bewildering its antago- nists with its lightning passes. | BI % With a wonderful floor man and deadly shot in Captain Nick Gill, another pair of fast forwards in Pete Zapatka and Henry Kraszew- ski, a hard man to stop in the fast developing John Kley, a dangerous | offensive—defensive man in Joe Goffa, a heady back-court director in Pete Sliva, and a good sub in| “Murphy” Levin, the club appears set for a great year. H, Which brings to mind the great ¢ number of basketball players the ¢ club has turned out in recent years. The industrial league is fairly cram- | med with them andmany givo credit | ¢, for developing them to the factory | team coaches, but the real honors | should be awarded to Ray Anderson, | Among those turned out by An- derson are Mickey Luke, Nibby ) borg, Frank Arburr, and Stanley Gotowala, who all played on the un- ¢ beatable team of two years ago; Ray Holst, Joe Jasper, Abe Aronson, Andy Yacabowicz and a host of oth- ers, including Howard Belser, Ka- ol menicky, and several now playing | with college teams.

Find It To get acqusinted with Lucky Strikes is to discover & new charm &’ cigarettes, an extra goodness. <y You'll realize at once that in addition to their being made of the world's finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, there’s something more which gives them their unique superiority. This “something more” is the costly, added process of toasting. It makes Lucky Strikes better in three way: 1. Finer Flagor. Toasting for 45 minutes develops the hidden flavors of the world’s finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos. 2. Smoothness. Toasting for 4§ minutes removesall “bite” and harshness, hence nevemany throat irritation. 3. Freshness. Then the tobacco is suddenly chilled. This seals the flavor in and insures constant freshness. The added process of toasting brings cxtra goodness which accounts for the growing popularity of Luckies. “It's toasted” That’s Why Luckies Taste So Good OUR BOARDING HOUSE EGAD BUGTER MILAD, v~ 1 AM IN MORE OR LE29 OF A QUANDARY !~ T MUGT |- GIVE “THE GOOD WOMAN A GIFT OF QOME KINDTHIO VULETIDE | v GHE HAS NEVER BEEN ONE FOR " GEM9 OR JEWELED H “RINKETG,~ NEVER HAG SHOWN A DESIRE FOR SABLED, vt MY WORT) MM WHAT -0 GIVE HER 2 Milly Is Worried Gr= SAM AND HIS WAFFLE.
