Speaking of Sports The action of Principal Louis P. Slade of the New Britain High school in demanding that Marion Zaleski and Al Havlick of the bas- ketball squad choose between the High school and the Burritt A. C. five, leaves the hoys with only one choice, to play with the High school team. Principal Slade’s ultimatum came 4s a direct result of a letter from the principal of the South Manches- ter High school but as an indirect vesult of the action taken by Coach Clark of the South Manchester team. Coach Clark has been criticized by more than one basketball combina- tion for his high-handed tactics in High school circles. Several ¥ ago it was through his direct influ- ence that relations between the local school and that of the Silk Town were broken off and following sev- clashes hetween followers of the lbcal team in its recent game in Manchester, it has been shown that Coach Clark hasn't changed one whit in his manne There was only one course for Principal Slade {o follow after re- ceiving the letter. The ruling state definitely that High school players can be members only of High school teams until the school schedule is finished and Principal Slade's clear duty was to sec that rule was strict- 1y enforced as far as the local boys were concerned. It was a | icayune act on the part of the Manchester authorities, how- ever, that prompted Principal Slade to order the hoys to choose between the teams. The Burritts are an amateur club playing preliminary games to the National Guards at the state armory in this city. There could be no harm in the two playing with the team, except that they would thereby keep in better condition for the school games. Tt has been said that Coach Clark wants {o win games anyway at all so long as he wins them, but his action in stopping Zaleski and Hav- lick from playing with the Burritts is cvidently a bit of soreness ov the decisive defeats suffered by hi teams at New Britain hands recent- ly. We still have to read anywhere where Gene Tunney revised the opinion of the man whom he will most assuredly have to meet sooner or later in defense of his heavy- weight crown. ard has taken a corner on the heavyweight market by signing up Jim Maloney, Sharkey and Berlen- hach and as long as the impasse hetween the promoters and the fight- er's manager, remains, there seems little likelihood tlat so-called log- jcal contenders will have the oppor- tunity of stepping in against De- laney, Ri Louis (Kid) Kaplan, retired unde- ted featherweight champion of the world, has been offered a place on the New Year's night card at Madison Square Garden in New York, but on advice of Denny Me- Mahon who has charge of his train- ing, he has turned the offer down. McMahon states that Kaplan is not yet in the right condition to meet such a rugsed performer as the Jow- ish Cowboy who was named as his opponent. It is seldom that Kaplan is found | of condition for a fight, but since his recent knockout by Billy Wallace in C eland, Mec- Mahon is going to make sure that when he steps into the ring the next time, but. lan will go the way of them all. to be out National Guard basketball team of this city is In for a tough woek-end when it meets the strong City College club of New York at the state armory here Saturday night. The N The City College club will be one of the best quintets the locals will be called on to face this season and for that reason it behooves the Guarvds to he in tip top shape for the battle. The City College club ha over the Meriden Endees in a game played on the Meriden home floor. In this contest, the New York club was leading by two points in the last four minutes and started a passing game that kept the ball away from Meriden until the final whistle blew. Any team that can beat the Meriden Endees on its home floor, is good.
