NEA Service Sports Writer It is interesting, as a coincidence it nothing clse, to observe that two of the young men who seem to b only one step removed from a ring championship, two Olympic champions of 1924, Fidel La prof onal next world's if the figur, Barba, former flyweizht championship and the intamweight champion are not all wrong, won the Olympic flyweight championship | four years ago and one of his (¢ ckic Iields, won the erweight crown in Paris. It is interesting, as a mere mention at least, that the list of chauipio crowned in that memorable tin Paris included Oitto Van Porat, of Norw who won yweight title. Von Porat, it s0 happens, was very much in the professional heavy- weight mention until recently when he lost a ten-round decision to Pau- lino in New the decision he didn't remove him- self entirely as a possibility in a class that isn't filled with artists, “Litfle Fiddle,” as La Barba known in I’ returned from tie Olympic games and proceeded al most at once into the professional tlyweight championship. m- tourna wa In announcing that he had decided to become a professional, La Barba did not allow anyone to misunder- stand his motives.

COMING CHAMPIONS WERE FORMERLY BUDDIES Reports coming from New Haven are to the effect that the team will be out to win in memory of its dead teammate, Robert Stock, who play- ed a guard position. Hillhouse has had a good record this year and it has been confident throughout the scason that it could beat New Brit- ain. Previous to the Hartford Pub- lic High school game the Eim City team figured it could hold Hartford because of its heavy line, bt that it would swamp the New iritain High cleven. 1t did hold Hartford High for three-quarters of the |game, but the speedy backfield of the Capital City gridders scored’ the winning points in the last quarter. The score was 7 to 0 and Hartford has first leg in the Triangular league cup. Since hboth New Haven and New Britain are equipped with strong lines, the fans may be treated to an acrial attack today. |TEAM OF KID§ LEADING IN SIX DAY BIKE RACE Final Hours of Grind Finds Un- known and Inexperienced Duo Heading Vetcran Stars Chicago, Nov. 17 (#—The whir of wheels in last minute spurts sent the twenticth international six day bicyele race in its final hours today.

Left Guard. For the first time in a number of scasons, New Britain will be repre- sented on the basketball court this! year by a quintet of girls. The team will open the scason tonight at § o'clock at the Stanley Arena against| the Manchester Recreations as a| preliminary game to the New Brit- | ain men's team. The visiting delegation from Man- chester is well known to basketball | fans in this city. It made several ap- | pearances against Industrial league | teams in this city last year and proved to be one of the snappiest | girl outfits in the state. | Manager Ralph Recano of the lo-| cal team has not decided yet on his starting lineup. The quality of the, stuft shown by the candidates has been s0 high that it has developed | into a difficult matter to pick the| best of the lot. All the members of the squad are sure to get an oppor- tunity of playing in the game to-| night. Besides those mentioned in the lineup are Motyka, Jucobs and | Dashner. Whatever ‘combination is used should give Manchester a| tough battle. Nearly as much interest is being displayed about town in the en-| trance of the girls into the basket-| ball field among state teams and a large crowd will be on hand to see the team in action in its first game. | fThe players have been practicing | steadily for several weeks and they are all near mid-season form at the present time. | The game tonight promptly at 8 o'clock Coyle as referee. e COCOANUT HIGHBAL | Rio De Janeiro, Nov. 17.

C. eleven. Beaten in the first contest the Capital City crew has added “Zev' Graham, Fordham flash and last year's quar- terback with All-New Britain and Rooney, former Duluth Eskimo to its lineup in the hope that New Britain will be on the short end to- morrow. - Evidently it is a bitter pill for the Hartford team to swallow, a defeat by New Britain and no matter to what ends they are driven, the Giants are out to beat New Britain tomorrow. According to the Nutmeg players, that is easier said than done and despite the presence of the stars in the Hartford lineup, the locals are VIC RADZEWICH contident that they will be on the winning end. “Watch Graham' will be the slogan of attack and de- fense and it will be a mighty inter- esting thing to watch how his form- er teammates treat him when Gra- ham carries the ball. “Unk” Conley, whose physical condition last week prevented him from making the trip to Stapleton, is back in shape and he will prob- ably start the game at his old end position. He will have as his mate, Burns, former Villanova star. Conklin and: Werwaiss will be at tackles with Humphrey and Gnas- dow at the guards. “Red” O'Neil and Joe Rogers will alternate at center with Nanfeldt and Ed (Bull) Keenan as reserve linemen, Vie Radzewich will direct team’s attack from quarterback with Buckley and Belonki at the halves. “Silent John™ Davis will be 'k, “Hap” Griswold and * Claive will torm the back- field rve.
