Speaking of Sports ; A movement i on foot in this city to form an amateur ice hockey league and although the plans for it have not yet been entirely com- pleted, sponsors of the movement are making an effort now to get teams interested. 1t is proposed to have the teams use the proposed skating rink in Willow Brook park for their games. A section of the park has been flood- ed anq will make a spacious skating rink when the weather becomes cold en8ugh to freeze. Tn past years, especially when Art Pilz was in charge of the ice skating ring at the foot of Arch street, there were many devotees of the puck: chasing game. These aggregations are still around and doubtless when it becomes known that an organized movement is on foot to form an ice league ,there will be plenty of tecams in action. Tce hockey players who are inter- csted in the league can get more in- formation on the matter by getting in touch with the sports editor who X can direct them to the proper ori- ginators of the idea. Yee hockey is a sport that has been in abeyance in this city for a long number of years. In days gone by a hike over through Andrews lot to the old ice house pond near the Hartford road and a dash around the pond after an old tin can or anything else that would slide, was the real sport. Groups of youngsters would comb the lots in search of sturdy saplings. Taking the young tree near the top and pending it over to tie it down, would be the first two steps in the program. Then a small fire just in under the hend to dry out the sap and lastly cutting and whittling it down to size, used to provide the strongest and best kind of a hockey stick. Now with the national league gamies reaching an unheard of pop- ularity avound the cities which arc cntered in the circuit, interest in the wnter game has increased tremend- ously. Superntendent Clyde Ellingwood of the local parks has started a movement to give lovers of skating a good and safe place in which to enjoy the sport and we look to sec the sport flourish once it is properly started. Although the weather has been anything but propitious for ice sports, no one need fear that there won't be fce before the violets peep out again next spring. When it gets cold in this climate, it ain't nothing vlse but. Membdes of the Rangers A. C. laseball team will join with the football eleven at the annual ban- «uet to be given tonight in the Blue Ttoom cafeteria. The following men will attend: Phil Rloom, Matty Harold Casey, Merwin Ton Cosgrove, Eddie ser, Art Krause, Jim O'Brien, \lilo Argosy. Z.

To those who have followed the career of the former heavyweight champion since he crawled through the ropes one blistering July day at Toledo until he was helped from the ring at Soldiers’ field, the idea of Dempsey in the role of referee is in- triguing 1o say the least. Jack has been so eonstantly in- volved with matters requiring a ref- eree’s judgment that there should be no situation new to him in connec- tion with a prize fight. But the ex- champion has not always been on the referce's side of the argument. (Cries of *“'hear, hear,” from Dave Barry, et al.) From first to last, Dempsecy has been a participant in ring episodes in which his success or failure de- pended upon the judgment of the third man within the ropes. Even at Toledo after he had cut the giant Willard to Ribbons, Jack might ecas- ily have been disqualified for leaving the ring at the end of the first round. There was the never-to-be-forgot- ten first round at the Polo Grounds, four years later, when Luis Angel Firpo drove him through the ropes and out of the ring, and when Dempsey came back to stand over his foe and hack him down repeat- edly without the formalily of giving change, or a legal one. Then there was the incident at Yankee stadium, when Sharkey went down grovelling from a series of Lody blows which many who were present still believe landed low. And last of all, there was the occasion of | the famous *“long count” at Chicago. There have been other times dur- he has been dependent upon the de- cision of a referee, but those are the high spots. It would be rather Ironical to have Jack as the-third man in the ring when Sharkey mects Stribling since the big Lithuanian has never ceased to maintain that he was fouled by Dempsey at Yankee Sta- dium. The referee of that bout never officlated again in this city. Sharkey had shaken up the ex- champion badly in the opening rounds, and was ahead on points | when Dempsey ripped home two, fairly low rights to the body. The Boston heavyweight started to wilt and half turned his head to protest i takes to the arbiter. As he did so, Demp. sey brought up a half left uppercut flush to the jaw, and the blow fin. ished Sharkey. There were cries of “foul” but they were drowned out by hysterical cheers for the most popular figure the prize ring has known since John L. Bullivan’s day, and fully as nmny of those present yelled that Sharkey was “vellow” s screamed that Dempsey had deliberately fouled his opponent. The magic of Dempsey's name is potent in fistic circles, and his pres- ence as referee undoubtedly would enhance the drawing power of the proposed Florida hout. But whether Sharkey would consent to his former | conqueror officiating is another ques- tion. Rickard, who proposes to hold | the bout at a dog park at Miami Beach in which he owna stock. pays the piped and the performers and | so. perforce, calls the tune. But Sharkey has a mind of his own, or what passes for one, and may haye something to say on the subject. Having been made and maintained as leavyweight champion by sue- © ive referees who might, had they chosen fo risk the wrath of the multitude, have tosscd him out of the ring neck and crop, Dempsey finally lost his big opportunity through the decision of Referce Dave Barry at Soldiers’ Field on September 23, 1927. That was the occasion of the “14 count.” Tunnecy had been outboxing Dempscy up to the seventh round and seemed to have the fight nicely in hand. Sud- denly Jack cut looge with lefts and rights to the champion's jaw. Three times with cach hand. Dempsey drove home, flush to the button. Tunney's eyes grew glazed, his knees sagged and he sank to the canvas, clutching a lower strand of the ropes instinctively, but practically “out.” Dempsey, who becomes a demon when fighting, stood glowering at his fallen foe, and then attempted to step around Dave Barry, who was gesticulating and warning him to re- tire to a neutral corner. Jack's ob- jective was his own corner, directly behind the stricken Tunney. a posi- tion comparable to that which he had assumed to such advantage in the Lirpo fight four years hefore. Barry had to shove Dempsey away from any such unfair position and stedr him to a distant corner before having a chanece to start the count over Gene, who w: sitting with a bewildered cxpression on his face, gaping at the time-keeper. The inadvertently enjoyed will endure as long as men talk about prize fights, but the fact re- mains t Barry was justified in his action. It was a tough spot for a refe and Dave acquitted himself well. 1t remains to be scen whether Dempsey himself will run up against any such difficult decision when he up the role of referee next rest he thus M 1t is said that mushrooms will not grow on land which has been treated with artificial fertilizer. wrgument over whether Tun- | ney was entitled to the 14 seconds of | ST. THOMAS QUINTET 10 APPEAR HERE JANUARY Hartford Basketball Team to Leave Its Home Floor for First Time in History. According to the schedule of the New Britain High school basketball team anounced in the Herald last evening, the local five will open its season in this city against the St. Thomas seminary quintet of Hart- ford on January 5. This will be the | first time in the history of the two schools that the Hartford team will leave its own floor and come to this | city. New Britain and St. Thomas are rivals of old standing and have met for years back. All of the games were played in Hartford due to a | special rule of the seminary which docs not allow the baskctball team to leave town. |to the fact that the Seminary sched- |ule was filled up, the Hartford school officials voted to grant special permission to the team to come to this city on January 5. This game will fall during the Christmas vaca- tion of the seminary and this also | prompted the Hartford officials tni allow the team to come here. The game will be played in the afternoon, probably at the Stanley arena. The Hartford team has a veteran lineup and is coached by Rev. Wil- liam Downey, formerly a curate at St. Mary's church of this city. New Britain has four veterans of last year's team left.

(#— Yor the first time in the history of athletics at Michigan State College, the Green and White foothall team of 1929 will be under the guidance of two captains. Vern Dickeson of Highland Park, Mich., and Fred Danziger of Detroit were tied in a vote by thelr team mates for the rew gridiron captaincy, so it was decided that they should share the honor. Each man figured largely in a late-season backficld offensi this year by Coach Harry Kipke's team. Beginning the scason as a reserve halfback, Dickeson proved himself a star before the end of the grind and wag used as a regular in the last twe games.
