BRISTOL EADEES VS, PALACE FIVE New Departure Quintet to Moot American Laague Sensations (Special to the Meraid) | Bristol, Dec. 21 — Elmer Ripley, |one of the best known basketball players in the country teday, is the joutstanding star in the lineup of the Palace club of Washingten, D. C., | whe are scheduled te meet the New Departures at the state armory Sat: urday night at § o'clock. For a number of years Ripley w noted for his spectacular work as member of the Original Celtics, the | world's court champlons, and hes | also performed in a sensational man- | ner for many other leading clubs in |the country. In December of last | year he assumed the reins as couch of basketball at Georgetown and in & short peried led the Hilltoppers frem nowhere to one of the leading college quintets in the south. The former pre star is unquestionably one of the greatest authoritics of the game to be found teday. Ripley will lead a group of former college stars including Harry Weste lock, “Doc” Shutz, George Williams and Bill Cullen, a team that on paper appears te be sirong enough to re- gister the first home defeat of (he | season against the Bearing Makers. The team from the nation's capital has alrcady triumphed over such vaunted opposition as Carbendale, Pa., Scranton, Pa.. The Long Island | Pros, Rrooklyn Visitation, Catskill Hudson and the Union City Reds. The local quintet will start with | the same lineup that performed so | spectacularly last weck in over- | whelming the world's colored cham- | plons ¢9-31. Stan Richtmeyer and iJimmy Picken will team up in the front court. Ray Marchinek, who {filled the center position like a vet- eran, will again be in the pivot berth with Captain Jim Mannirg and “Wardy” Wuterman in the rear court. This is the second high class at- traction in as many weeks that Man- uger Carroll is serving to the fans and it is hoped that the attendance will justify this continuance of at- | tractions of this caliber. Although the visitors will receive a rather stiff guarantee, this game will be offered at the usual price of admission, Billy | Coyle of Wallingford will referee. | | | | EAGLES 0 MEET TIGERS SUNDAY Boston Ice Hockey Team In- vades New Haven Over Weckend ! ————— Todey Eaglos, in Ieague, moved up to Providence for |a game with the orphans of the [100p.
