Machine, 24 A record crowd which attended the Industrial league games at the Stanley Arena last night was treated to basketball which was of the mid- season variety for the greater part of the night. Last night's games marked the opening of the basket- ball season in this city. The first two games, which in- volved the Stanley Works, Russell & Erwin, Corbin Cabinet and Lan- ders teams were slow and uninter- esting for the greater part of the time, but some corking good basket- ball was shown in streaks. The last game of the night between the New Britain Machine and Corbin Screw was the feature contest and al- though the Screw Shop team began to pull away during the latter part of the play the game was fast throughout and was punctuated sev- eral times with spectacular shots, sterling pass work and good defen- sive play. Referee Billy Coyle of Walling- ford was the eleventh man on the floor and he made a decided hit with the fans. His decisions were mnot questioned at any time by the gal- Jery referees and he kept the game moving. = Stanley Works-Russwin During the first nine minutes of the Stanley Works-Russwin game, there was little scoring, but at the nine-minute mark Elmer Swanson of the Workers broke a 3 to 3 tle and his teammates began to find the hoop. The score at half time was 10 to 4, Stanley Works' favor. ; The Stanley Works' lead varied trom three to six points through most of the second half, but in the final minutes through scores by Haigis; the Buttmakers finished with a 10-point lead, the highest held during the game. Captain “Russ” Haigis of the Stanley Workers was the team's best performer, while Karbonic's shoot- ing and the work of Morelli and Nyborg on the floor were features. The Russell & Erwin team which consisted of five guards, showed it was not a very strong offensive com- bination but if the two who are play- ing forward improve on their floor work the team should be a hard combination te beat this year.

The New Britain Machine team !looks better this year than it ever ' did. Nick Arena and Frank Richt- myer, who formed the forward com- bination at the State Trade school two years ago, were united again and the Machine Shop team bene- fited by their presence. Arena was | with the team last year but Richt- |myer had not graduated from the school. Half of the team's points | were scored by these two men. The Screw Shop team is better |than it was last year and that is saying a great deal. Joe Luke and Yakubowitz are great as a combina tion, Baunders and Luty are strong at center and Arbour and Darrow lare better than they were last year. | Darrow showed up well on the of- fensive and had a perfect night from the foul line, scoring six out | of six chances.

EXPERTS MAKING Princaton Expected o Avenge Itsell on Yale Saturday New York, Nov. 14 (M—The indl- cations seem to be that those who got slapped in football a year ago will do a little slapping on their own hook this Saturday. Yale's beatings by Army and Maryland have pushed Princeton in- to the favored position as Tiger apd Bulldog prepare for their 52nd clash at Princeton. Princeton’s record is ‘ficarcely impressive, marred as it is i by ties with Virginia and Ohio State but at least the Tiger's have avolded | defeat. ! The fact that the experts are plek- ing Princeton to avenge its 14-6 de- feat by the Ells last year does not | necessarily mean that that's the way 11t will turn out. The experts, under- igoing, constant punishment, have little reason to congratulate them- selves on their predictions thus far | this tepsy-turvy season. Cornell has the hitter memory of a humiliating 53-7 beating to take into its coming hattle with Dart- mouth and the odds are no worse than even money that Gil Dubie's | squad can give the Indians their | fourth successive defeat. Willlams. now leading in the race y for the “Little Three” title, is the { experts’ choice to down Amherst and {avenge =a one-point defeat of last |an even chance of beating Penn State which trounced the Leopards, 40 to 6 fn 1927. Nebraska's unde- teated Cornhuskers will remember their 31-13 defeat at Pittsburgh last season when they take the field at Lincoln againgt the Panthers. Georgetown, heaten for the first time by the gmart and tricky Carne- gie Tech ecleven, has small hope of repeating the 25-0 triumph it scored over West Virginia, as good a team as the east can boast right now. Bucknell will be favored fo turn the tables on Washington and Jefferson which won. 19-3 last year, and Wes- leyan should have little trouble tak- ing Bowdoin into camp a year after suffering a 30-12 defeat. Carnegie Tech and Notre Dame did not meet last year but Knute Rockne, can tell his Hoosiers about \a certain November afternoon fin | Pittsburgh two years ago when the Tartans teampled an undefeated Rockne team into defeat 19-0. Car- negie will be staking the undefeated record at Carter: Field, S8outh Bend, this Saturday. On the other hands, Pennsylvania and Harvgrd are favored to repeat the victories they scoted over Co- lumbla and Holy Cross, respectively, in 1927, “Colgate and Syracuse, re- newing an ancient feud at Syracuse. have a 13-13 tle to play;off, Navy Brown and- -Boston Collégé will be more than sgrprised if they don't ac count. for Loyola of Maryland, New Hampshire. and Canisius respective- 1y.

HARTFORD HAS NEW MEN FOR NEW Giants Add Seven Players to Roster—Score Impressive | Victory Over Rochester BRITAIN GAME Team—Nutmegs Confident After Great Showing Against Stapleton—Sunday’s Game Will Be Second In Series Between Rivals— Both Clubs Dickering for Services of Johnny Grip —Play Sunday. Once again two warring football factions will clash when the Hart- ford Giants invade this city to meet the Nutmegs at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park S8unday after- noon. Crushed under New Britain's attack three weeks aga, the Hartford Giants have added seven new men to their roster and the results were very evident last Sunday when the Captial City team played with the | Rochester eleven at the Velodrome. | At the same time, both Hartford | and New Britain are angling for the services of Johnny Grip, former Fordham U. star. He played in the backtield with the Nutmegs last | Sunday but was unable to show a great deal against the powerful Stapleton line. While Hartford scored a decisive victory last Bunday and New Britain was beaten for the first time. fol- lowers of the Nutmegs are confident that the series of two out of three arranged between Hartford and New Britain will be ended next Sunday | afternoon. New Britain's power was ably displayed last Sunday against the Staten Island team when the “Stapes” were able to score only two touchdowns against the team and these two through a series Qf “breaks” that gave them the advan- tage. New Britain has, at the presént time, a squad of 22 men giving the club plenty of material with which to work. E4 (Bull) Keenan, former Hartford and Wartebury guard, has been added to the New Britain team and he will probably see some ac- tion Sunday afternoon. He got into the game in the latter stages in Btapleton Sunday and was a source of great strength in the line. New Britain fans will turn out in force Sunday afternoon to watch this battle of bitter rivals. The game was originally scheduled for last Sunday but rain the Sunday before caused a shifting of plans whereby New Britain went to Stapleton and the’| Rochester team came to Hartford. | MAY USE NEW LINEUP Evanston, IIl, Nov. 14 (UP)—A new Northwestern lineup may face Indiana at Bloomington next Satur- day. Coach Hanley is not satisfied with the team as it stands and hopes to make its attack more diver- sified.

DEMPSEY ONLY TALKING ABOUT HIS COMEBACK Former ClI ion and Tex Rickard Discuss Everything But Box- ing at Conference. New York, Nov, 14 (® — Jack Dempsey's second comeback cam- paign apparently hasn't gotton be- yond the talking stage yet. The old Manassa Mauler met Tex Rickard yesterday in a conference widely ballyhooed as of momentous import but both said after the meet- ing they had talked about everything but boxing. Tex said Dempsey might talk about the question of coming back te the ring at a dinner party later in the day but added that noth- ing would be given out for publica- tion for several days at least. Whatever the situation actually is, close followers of the ring are cer- tain that the former heavyweight champion again will don the gloves and do what he can to restore public interest in the caulifiower industry and, it may be added increase his bankroll by half a million or more. They believe Dempsey will prob- zbly return to the ring at one of New York's ball parks next summer, possibly against Paulino Uzcudun, one of those willing mixers Jack likes to fight.

Worters, last of the holdouts on the Pittsburgh squad, not only has failed to sign a contract for this year but has broken off negotia- tions with the club, The Pirates have borrowed Joe Miller, the Americans’ spare goalie, to fill the gas as the season gets un- der way. The loaning of Miller and the persistent efforts of the Ameri- cans to purchase Worters during the off season seems to indicate that the deal is now near completion. The switching about of goalies, and the almost complete reorgani- zation of the Chicago Black Hawks and Americans, will furnish the chief interest as the ten teams in the American and International groups of the circuit pry off the lid for the winter campaign. Chicago't revamped’ lineup tackles the Tor- onto Maple Leafs, with Lorne Cha- bot, former Ranger star in the goal. The game will be played in the Can- adian city Thursday night. The world's champion New York Rangers, who traded Chabot for John Ross Roach, second omly to Worters in league ranking open the campaign against the Detroit Cou- gars at Detroit and the Boston Bruins, winners of the American group title last season, visit Pitts- burgh. Two Montreal teams, the Maroons and Canadiens, clash at home while the new American line- up tackles the veteran Ottawa team in Ottawa. Looking to the most successful season since professional hockey in- vaded New York three years ago, dopesters believe the coming race will again result in a battle of four strong teams for the championship now held by the Rangers. The Bruins and Rangers are considered the strongest squads in the Ameri- can group while the Canadiens and Maroons, pace-setters last season in the international section, again ap- pear to be the strongest aspirants for the title playoff series. TWO SOCGER LEADERS ARE SUSPENDED FOR ALL TINE Nathan Agar, One of Founders, and Wilfred Hollywood Barred By Foothall Association, New York, Nov. 14 (#—Nathun Agar, ore of the foundegs of the United States 1"ootball association, and Wiifred Hollywood, secretary of the southern New York state asso- ciation, have been suspended for all time by the soccer governing body s the latest step in the struggle be- tween soccer factions.

GRID GANE HERE NOT YET DECIDED Yermont Academy or Hillbouse High Will Oppose New Britain It will not be definitely known un- til tonight whether or not the Ver- mont Academy-New Britain High aschool football game will be played at Willow Brook park Saturday\er whether the New Haven Hillhouse Triangulay league conflict will be substituted in its place. Yesterday the headmaster sent a telegram to Principal Slade declar-| ing he would be unwilling to call the game off and from the tone of his letter the school would feel hos- tile to New Britain High {f the Green Mountaineers were forced to accept the $20 forfeit. Rather than cause ill-feeling Principal Slade ordered that the game be played as originally sched- uled. Immediately Coach Cassidy made a trip to New Haven to try and arrange for & Thanksgiving Day game, but the annual intra-city game between Hillhouse and Com- mercial is to be played on that day so this game was called off. Boarding his filvver, Coach Cas- sidy made a fly-by-night trip to the Vermont woods to see what he could do with his powers of per- suasion and whatever he said must have set the authorities thinking be- cause by tonight they are to send Coach Cassidy their final decision. If it is in faver of playing & Thanksgiving Day game instead of Saturday, then the New Haven Hillhouse team is ready and anxious to come here Ssturday and play. If Hillhouse High does not come here Saturday it is probable that no no game will be played between the two teams unless it Is on December 1, the Saturday after the Hartford me. ‘Both teams will be pretty well banged up after their annual battles, New Haven will have play- ed Commercial two days before and New Britain will have played Hart- ford a week before.
