The | third game was the most exc iling contest of the evening and it was close for the greater part of the time.

For the first 10 minutes timer, Sikora; of play the teama were deadlocked | several times. Although the Rulers were tied on three occasions there | was never a time in the game when Fafnirs were in the lead. Johnny Kley, former member of the Boys' club team, started his mates on the road to victory when he popped one in shortly after the start. and the score was tled at the five minute mark. Kley made it 4 to 2 on two foul shots but McGrath even- | ed the count. Kley made it 6 to ¢ ' but when the game was eight min. | utes old and 30 seconds after Belser tted the score at $-all. “Bennie”| Saunders slipped through the Fafnir ! cfense and broke five minutes of the end of the half. Then Morey, Gill and Corazzo made baskets and when the half iended the score was 14 to 6. The Rule Shop had a 21 to 13 lead when Fafnirs tried a rally iwhich was nearly succesaful. On shots by Belser, Matulls, Gierochow- ski and Havlick the Bea.ing Mak- ers came within two points of a tie at 21 to 19. The Rule Shop outfit matched Fafnirs basket for basket in the final minutes of the game and won a well-deserved victory. Kley was the |shining light for the Rulers while Havlick starred for Fafnirs.

UP—Court tennis, favorite game of French kings and long neglected after the Revolu- tions, is reviving in public favor. In larly, recent tournaments have demonstrated that an increasing number of players are taking up the game, Just before the revolution there were at least 30 courts in Paris alone. Four pre-revolution courts are still standing in France, one built at Versallles in 1686, another at Fontainbleau in 1702 and courts at Bordeaux ad Chantilly erected in the middle of the eighteenth century.

Entering the game as the under- dogs, the Tigers fought their way over a gridiron of solid ice to sub- merge the beefy Aggles by a score of 19 to 0. This little summer resort which annually changes its summer coat- ing of green to a white blanket late in the foothall season awoke Thanksgiving morning to find the football tield of its college covered with a solid cake of ice following & bliszard the night before, Findfag it impossible to remove the whte coating from the grid. fron, coaches of the rival elevens resqrted to an application of red paint for the usual white lines on the folball fleld. As a further protection, players on the two teams oiled their bodies with gooss grease, and wore woolen under. wear and gloves. ‘The game itself brought out the most unusual football ever seen {n this conference. Forward passes went to naught as an intended re- ceiver slipped on the ey gridiron. Line plunges were often stopped back of the line of acrimmage as the ball carrier lost his footing. The hands of players became numb in the 4-below-zero weather. Weeks after the game “Bwede” Jackson, Colorado College quarterback, was still suffering from frozen fingers. | Paper Chooses H—e—b—rew All-America Eleven New York, Dec. 8 (UP)—The Jeyish Tribune, & weekly publica- tion, has announced its annual se. lection of the Jewish All-America football team for 1928 as follows: Ends, Gantenbein, Wisconsin, and Glasser, Delaware; tackles, Wels- low, Chicage, and Winick, Syracuse; guards, Levine, Princeton, and Ja- oobson, Georgla; center, Schneider, New York U.; quarterback, Fleish- | hacker, Stanford; haifbacks, Lom, |California, and Edcison, Southern .

LLY GESTURE —— A quintet in its first season as & baskotball combination, will essay tonight at the Stanley Arena to put & halt to the fast-travelling New Britain team 1n its race towards the mythical atate championship. The visiting aggregation slated to do bat- tle tonight on the chalked arena is known as the Elm City five. A featura of the squad's appear- ance here, according to advance no- tices sent out by the manager of the olub, will be the presence In the line- up of ZeRe Chadys, former .tar guard of the Atlag A. C. team and titter court enemy of Al Sloman, lo- cal star forward. Chadys delights in playing Sloman and, according to what we have learned, he has made a special request to be placed against the local boy tonight and the request will be granted. Two other Atlas stare of past years are with the visiting combine. Wexler, a forward and “Pookie” Al. derman, center, will furnish the op- position with plenty of offensive power while the remainder of the team Davin and Rosinski, will round out what Jooks like a formidable team. New Britain's stalwarts are all in &ood shape. Johnny 8heehan is back in trim after a week's rest. In last Saturday night's game against the Brownsville Favorites of Brooklyn, N. Y., 8heehan twisted his knee. The injury, though painful, was not seri- ous and he will be in the starting lineup tonight. Sloman and McElwain, as nice & pair of forwards as has represented New Britain in several seasons, will again mate up for tonight's contest. Jimmy Zakzewski, scoring ace of the local tribe, will jump at center while Tom Leary, former Fordham Uni- versity captain, will trot along with Sheehan in the hack court. The New Britain team with each succeeding game, is progressing and in its four starts so far this season, it has tumbled some of the strong- est imaginable opposition. The play- ers are out to make a clean sweep of state teams and they are already showing mid-season form. The game tonight will start promptly at § o'clock following the preliminary and dancing will follow.
