Restelll occupied a forward position while Holst went in at center and Kil- Quft played guard against Feldman. Holst scored a pretty basket shortly after he started playing while the other two worked nicely on floor. Account of Game. A field basket by Rubenstein and & foul shot by Zakzewski gave New Britain an early lead of three points. Crowley's foul shots and a fpee try by Feldman soon tied the score. Crowlay broke the ice with ® long peg but Leary in a spectacu- lar play tied the count .gain at 6- all. This was the signal for the New Britain team to open up and through great floor work, the score stood at 11 to 6 in favor of the Bome team. Feldman scored a bhasket to ma 4t geven for Bristel but Leary got by the Bristol forward to score a Dasket and as ne was fouled in the try, he made one of the shots good. Sloman's field shot gave New Britain & 1ad of 16 to 7. Malcolm's only basket of the game cut this down two points. Feldman again con- nected making it 11 for Bristol but Sheehan's shot pefore the close of the half made 1t 18 to 11 favor New Britain at the rest period. Second Half. Feldman started things going in & the second half with a pretty long | bV peg. Leary evened the count with his man and Sloman followed him. Donoghue followed with a free try and Manning and Zakzewski hoth dropped in points from the compli- mentary stripe. Here a rally by New Britain brought the scorc to 30 to 15 in favor of the home clul. At this juncture Dristol started a desperate attack that netted the team two basket. ed to cage a spectacular field goal from the side of the court.

Referee, Nixon, 'ERROR PREVENTS HAHN FROM BREAKING RECORD Boston Middle Distance Star Makes Final Sprint in Estra Lap of Race, | New York, Jan. 2 {Hahn is having difficulty | running records this year ! tirough no fault of his own. | 'The little Boston middle distance star who has scen no rival cross the finish line ahead of him in more than | s, ran the 1.000 yards at the st. Joseph's Catholic club meet in | Newark last night in 2 minutes, 14 4 seconds, and believes he could have set a new indoor record but for | an error which sent the field around [the track one lap too many. Hahn was being pressed by Phil 1s, negro flash of New York ity, and but for the official error might have broken his own mark of 2 minutes 12 4-5 seconds for the distance. As it was his final sprint cams in what turned out to be an extra lap and consequently did not count in the time for the 1.000 yards. If the error had not occurred, the Boston flier’s last-min- ute sprint to the finish line would have occurred on the right lap and might have resulted in a new rec- ord. Several weeks ago in a meet at Brooklyn, Hahn broke the indoor | record for the half mile but the new mark was not allowed because of the «bsence of board markings sround the track.

For ‘The Phantom basketball team of this city won its 10th straight win and its 11th victory in 12 starts last night when it defeated the Broad Brook Tigers by the score of 39 to The Tigers started off with a world of speed and it appeared as if the New Britain team was due to finish in the short end of the score. Behind six points, New Britain started through a baskct by Le. vine. After this, New Britain tossed in points from all angles. Both clubs were away off on foul shooting but a number of spectacular goals were caged. Geisler, Tiger forward, despite his | height handicap, caged five goals | during the game and played a fine | floor game. Crane, Yankowitz and Cohen starred for New Britain.

Palo Alto, Cal, Jan. 26 (UP)— Adoption of the two-team football systemn may be inaugurated at Stan- ford University according to plans announced by “HMead Coach Glen “Pop” Warn.r. Althongh Warner disapproved of | the Mic an plan of two football | teams of equal strength, he believed that his plan would give cach team {a full two weeks rest hetween games {and would allow fnjured players timie in which to recuperate between B mes, e two teams would be as “A" “B The "A” te Almost entirely of seniors “B" team of juniors.

(are considered the best in a club | made famous through the showing lof its members in tournaments all over the east. | The feature bout of the night calls | for the appearance of Bishop Hart of the Phalanx A. C. against Jack Kelly of the Franco-American club of Waterbury. Kelly is Connecticut's middlewelght champion and his abil- ity in the ring is well known to local fans. His opponent is a col- ored high school boy and is an ex- cellent boxer. They will meet in the 165 pound class. However, fans are more interested in the appearance here of Bob | Hamilton, lightwelght, who is con- | AL McGURK sidered among the best in the coun- try. Hamilton will battle Ray Tay- lor of Terryville in one of the fea- ture bouts. Hamliiton's work against Pancho Villa in Hartford recently, made him a decided favorite with those who saw him in action. His hard punching sent Villa to the floor several times during the bout. The Hartford boy has been unable to appear in the ring since that time. | Johnny Clinch of this city, one of | the promising 140 pounders of the state, is scheduled to meet Joe Shoe- | baker. Shoemaker is a combination ibox-r and fighter and possesses plenty of skill besides a hard wallop. Those who have seen the Philadel- phia boy in action state that Clinch will have his hands full tonight. Al McGurk at 145 pounds, will take on Frank Columbo of Windsor Locks. McGurk has an impressive kayo record over the past two years | while the Windsor Locks boy is con- sidered the coming fighter in this state. This should be a whirlwind bout. Supporting these four inter-state bouts, are six inter-city bouts fea- turing boxers from Springfield, Windsor Locks, Hartford and New Britain. Frank Cugno and Tony Perretta, both of this city, are sched- uled to meet two Springficld serap- | pers. Cugno has shown much stuff many of his friends will be | to see him perform Among the Springficld boys who will appear here tomorrow night are Mike Bielanski, a heavyweight who on deck Rogers Horns- | ¢ amateur tournament at the Tabs' | are Bill The visitors Whinphiner 170 pounds, Bill Nichols ,Johnny Behr, Dlinois A, C.
