Two of the oldest rvals in the Industrial Basketball League are rieighbors, Corbin Cabinet Lock and P. & F, Corbins These two teams will meet tonight for the first time this scasou at Tabs' hall in the final game of a three game card. landers is to be represented in the other twe games. The girls' team will face i North & Judd and the men will bat- tle with Fafnir Bearing. Compaliring the teams it would scem that the Cabinet Lock team i a much better bet for the game, but consideration must be given the fact that although P. & 1. Corbin lost three games, two of them were by one point and a determined second- halt rally nearly won in the third. Cabinet Lock has played three of the four teams which are in the last four places in the league standing and won the games. It will play the fourth when it battles the P. & F. Corbin outfit. This will be a real test for the Cabinet Lock men. They have lost one game to the Stanley ‘Works but have won all the rest of the games. Some of the fans are in- clind to believe that the Cabinet Lock team has been lucky because of its schdule but tonight the team will go on the floor determined to show it is a winning outfit, Practically the same players who have heen regulars on hoth teams since the beginning of the season will be started. Out For Second Place Determined to return to winning form and deadlock the three who are now in a triple tie for second place, Fafnir Bearing will face Landers in the second game of the night. Much of lLanders’ =success wlii depend upon how much over- confidence the Fafnir team will have in the game. Tt is expected that mugh of the early season confidence will be lost to the team following its methack {by the Stanley Rule quintet last ¥riday. One of the weak points of the team Is its proneness to foul. An average of two members of the team generally has thrce fouls each when the half time intermission comes around. Tanders has not won a game 80 far but the team play is Improv- ing and when some of the team's hest scorers find their eyes greater success should be met. Standing w. ) i P.C. 1.000 500 P. & F.

ILed by “Kisky" Feldman who is poison to New Britain basketeers, the Paper City contingent comes here con- fident that for the first time this year, the colors of thc New Britain crew will be spiked. Feldman 18 taking no chances with the quality of his team, He has gathered around him players who, in their respective positions, are aces. He will play one forward with Tommy Gaughan or Nelson Crowley, late of the Bristol Endees in the other.

Judging from the Individuals who make up this combination, New Britain is in for a hot session to- morrow night. The locals have al- ready run up a straight string of five victories and, ncedless to say. there is no intention of letting up in the Wpeed of play for tomorrow night. Last Saturday night's game did the local team no good because of the poor quality of the opposi- tion and with a tough team ahead of it tomorrow night, the quintet will be on its toea.

The Farmington Valley champlons are still smarting from their inglor- fous showing against the local team and hope to even matters up. Too much confidence is the excuse of the Simsbury team for its poor showing Wednesday evening and it will at- tempt to prove to the local fans that it can take the Burritts into camp. Fans will be treated to the novel- ty of a basketball team composed of six-foot players. All of the regulars on the visiting aggregation tower about the six foot line and make an impressive showing on the floor. The upstaters were undefeated until they met the local team, and on the large Stanley Arena floor they are confl- dent of winning. The Burritts are driving toward the state semi-pro title and expect to repeat their victory over the Sims- bury aggregation. The pass work o the locals left nothing to be desired Wednesday evening and following three days rest, the five expects to be in the pink of condition. Manager Ken Saunders will prob- ably start Yakubowicz and Luke at forwards; S8aunders at center, and Arbour and Darrow at guards. “Joe" Jasper, hero of Wednesday's game, Havlick and Luty will also be ready to take the floor when called upon. The game will start at 8 o'clock sharp.

It will be his first appearance in the ring in more than three months but despite this and due to the fact that he has been continually in training at the camp of Louis (Kid) Kaplan in Meriden, he is fit and in excellent fighting shape. His opponent is re- garded as one of the leading welter- weights in the simon pure ranks to- day and when he clashes with the local boy, the sparks are sure to ‘ly. Next to Clinch among the natlves will be Dominick Friskki who last week scored a decisive victory over Ernie Palmer, hard hitting 120 pounder from Waterbury.
