New Britain was playing without the service of Harry (Cowboy) Thompson, second rush, who was injured last Sunday afte| noon in the game with Fall River. Joe Perregrin substituted in place of the cowboy and he did creditable work although he is not the team- mate for “Kid” Williams that Thompson is. Perregrin worked & nice floor game and shot several passes to Williams that resulted in | a score. He caged one goal at a critical time in the game, in the third period tying the count giving New Britain an opportunity of getting into the lead enough 1o win.

Waterbury started off with a gusto that boded ill for New Britain, Get- ting through the New Britain do- fense Mulligan shot the ball past Welch with a suddepness that startled. Davies poked it in giving Waterbury the first goal of the game six sec- onds after the start. Waterbury sgain scored on a drive by Mulli- gan giving the Brass City team a lead of two. Then “Kid” Williams swung into action, Four times in succession, he scored, reversing the situation and, putting New Britain two to the good. The first goal came on & pretty play when Barney Doherty rolled a hopper to hte center and Williams steerad it straight into the nets. The second shot in on a pass from Perregrin, The third and fourth were two perfect specimens of the drives that have made \\‘i!~ liams famous anywhere the game is played. Davies, however, tied ?h': count with two before the session ended. New Britain further increased its lead with two more goals by Wil- liams in the second period which ‘was a hard fought battle all the way. Bill Blount was in exceptional form keeping the ball out of his cage while Hebert and Donnelly were put- ting up a tight defense. The tables were suddenly turned in the third period when Waterbury put on one of the strongest spurts on record. Mulligan and Davles showed & whirl of speed and Davies iput in two goals followed by another by Mulligan and the Waterbury |Winners and Loscrs of Last Wecek's | team led 7 to 6. Then it was that Perregrin caught ® pass in the air, hit it against Blount's shin pads and on the re bound, he tied the score. A lovely battle ensued that had the players on both teams near suddenly, from the center of the loor, Williams sent 1in a lightning like drive that whizzed past Blount and gave New Britain the edge. ‘With three minutes left to play, Rs wild a battle as has ever been heen in this city took place.

P. | Woodcock, today announced the re- sults of the experiment tried at the | Yale-Harvard game last season, at | which time *several thousand” sig- natures were taken in an effort to determine how much violation of the personal use pledge on the ticket application existed among the attendants at the most important game on the Yale schedule. The results were as follows: Vio- lations were found in 12 per cent |of the cases investigated sixteen alumni have been blacklisted for at least two years, which means that they will not be allowed to apply for tickets to Yale's reserved seat games during that time, and maybe longer. The result shows, according to the statement, that the great ma- jority of applicants cooperated fully with the regulations, The announcement said that “practically all of the cases involv- ing violations, which numbered sev- eral hundred, were “purely techni- cal violations, such as straight ex- change, of tickets with another alumnus to effect a more convenient scating arrangement.” The an- nouncement went on to say that the athletic association under con- sideration the withholding of ticket privileges for a period of at least two years” in the cases of those who clearly violated the rule and broke the pledge whith they had signed. May Lose Privileges This statement would lead to the lif that the penalty has not yet heen meted out to the guilty parties, but it is understood that there is not the slightest doubt that these alum- {ni will be deprived of the privilege | of applying for tickets over the period mentioned. The signatures which the athletic ociation used in making this in- vestigation of the situation were taken at various parts of the Yale Bowl just before the opening whis- tle of the Harvard-Yale contest last November. It is generally thought that in the neighborhood of five | thousand signatures were obtained | by the small squad of ushers. The |test was the first ever made by Yale. The announcement, made by Gen- eral Manager Woodcock, following weeks' work of checking up on the signatures which came into the hands of the athletic association, follows: “Harold F. Woodcock, general manager of the Yale University Athletic Association, issued the fol- fowing statement as a result of the check up of signatures of a few thousand spectators at the Yale- Harvard football game in the bowl last November. gnatures taken at the Harvard- Yale football game at the Yale bowl last November have been checked with the signatures on the ticket rapplications and it has heen found that the very great majority of ap- | plicants cooperated fully with the Yale alumni football ticket com- mittee and the Yale Athletic Asso- ciation in the necessary regulation the applicant agrees personally to occupy one of the seats allotted him.

Lynch that he had ever solicited a bribe on his own behalf or for any “bloc” of his collcagues coupled with an arraignment of Emil E. Fuchs, president of the Boston Na- tional League Baseball club, as a “blackmaller blackjacker and rack- eteer” had brought to an end today the investigation by the Boston finance commission of the Sunday eports graft scandal, at least, insofar as public hearings were concerned. Lynch not only repudiated Fuche’ story that he has sought an aggre- gate of $65,000 for the favorable votes of himself and 12 other coun- cilmen for the bill ratifying the Sunday sports referendum, but he declared that within the last week he had investigated Fuchs in New York city. The councilman testified that his designation of Fuchs was based on records in the office of John Hawley Clark, Jr., “assistant U. 8. district attorney in New York city.” Information from New York clty showed, however, that Clark was a former assistant district attorney but that when in office he had in- quired into the actiVities of Fuchs while the latter was attorney for Ralph A. Pay, former federal pro- hibition director there. Clark was said to have asserted that although he could not find suf- ficient evidence to warrant the in- dictment of Fuchs, his office had rvefrained from giving him a clean Lill. Fuchs who was also in New York city and to whom this angle of the case was conveyed by telephone, dictated a long statement in which he called Lynch a “bloody rat" and declared that Col. Heyward, former federal district attorney, had cleared him of any suspicion in connection with the investigation to which Clark was said to have adverted. Tynch's counsel, JosepheP. Walsh promised to lay the record before the commission during its private consideration of the case. The finance commission an- nounced it was examining the bank accounts of the Boston Braves and those of Tuchs and Charles F. Adams, wealthy chain store owner who is vice president of the Braves and president of the Boston Bruins Hockey club. It was Adams who o public the charges against Lynch and the others. The possibility that the alleged connection between the Braves and the outdoor recreation league, the organization which backed the Sun- day sports referendum, would be presented to a grand jury was un- derstood to have been discussed at a long conference between Assistant Attorney General Gerald Callahan and Assistant District Attorney Doyle of Suffolk county. Final decision was said to have been deferred until Attorney General Warner and Dis- trict Attorney Doyle could be con- sulted. It was learned, however, that the investigation by the attorney gen- cral's office into the authenticity of the list of contributors to the $30,- 600 fund raised by the league had already disclosed several faked names. It has been charged that the en- tire list was false and was so sub- mitted to the secretary of state to conceal the fact that the $30,000 was given directly by Fuchs. {NURMI AND WIDE DECIDE ON RUNNING CAMPAIGNS Phantom Finn and Swedish School- master to Start Competition | Very Soon. | New York, Jan. 11 (®—Paavo | Nurmi, the Phantom Finn, has def- initely decided the time for the be- | ginning of his second invasion of American tracks and his Swedish |ival, Edvin Wide, has indicated that his decision may be made soon. Official announcement that Nurmi's lebut will be made in the Brooklyn | college games Jan. 19 was made | yesterday when his entry for a s | cial 5,000 yard invitation race was received.

ELIGIBILITY RULE STAYS IN EFFECT Inter-Church Leagoe Rids Sel of Alleged “Ringers” A decision to continue in effect the eligibility rule which bars from play any men not members of their respective organizations before the opening of the season was made last night at a meeting of the Inter- Church basketball league board of managers at the Y. M. C, A. and assurances were received that the measure would not be broken again. Two games were played last Satur- day under protest because of the.use of ineligibles, but the managers of the two offending organizations ex- plained last night that their breaches had been due partly to lack of knowledge of the rule and partly to lack of time to get proper teams to- gether. Each one submitted a re- vised list of member-players, The new lineup of the Everyman's Bible Class, as turned in by Man- ager Albert Fengler, lists himself, D¥ming Hewett, Harold Weit, Mer- win Johnston and I¥red Swanson. Manager Walter Stohl of the Stanley Memorial team submitted a new list including himselt, David Stohl, Ells- worth Carroll and Fred Ritter. The South Congregational church, which has a conflict in date on March 19, was given permission to play its Church league game against the First Lutherans on some other night, It is expected that this game will be played on Thursday evening. The Lutherans will be allowed to book an outside game to be played during their regularly acheduled hour on Baturday night. It was voted that tne team win- ning the league championship should be entered in the state tournament for church tcams, the league bear- ing the expense of the entry fee. Re- ports from the sale of season tickets were very incomplete, but two teams reported an excellent business in this respect. Three games will be played to- morrow night. The 8t. Matthew’s German Lutherans will play the St. Mark's Episcopal church team in the opener, which will start at 7:30 o'clock. In the second game the First Lutherans and Stanmors will clash, and the last game will bring against each other the South church and the re-made Everyman's Bible class.

The game will be played as the weekly court feature at the Stan. ley Arena on Church street. The visiting quintet is rated as'ons of the basketball sensations of the country. For the past eight years, the team has been kept together pile ing up an impressive record of vie. tories scored over teams all over the country. From north to south and from east to west in bigger court circles, Olsen’s Swedes are known as tough opposition and a classy per- forming troupe. The team is made up of western stars who have risen to great heights in the past few years. Bonnis Stew- art, one of the forwards, was named as an All-America forward two years ago. C. M. Olson, manager and for- ward, is rated as one of the fastest men in the front court. Elden Per~ fect, third forward on the team, was named as & member of the All-Oklae homa team last season. Mearl Campbell, center, is a rangy boy and fast as lightning. He also is an All-Oklahoma player. The two guards, Edwin Marteney and Bonnie Niles, are both tough mem to get by and both are dead shots from the floor. They also are All-Oklahoma players. ) Tho record of the team over a per- iod of-eight ycars is an impressive one. Having played a total of 515 games in eight seasons, the team won 441 of them and lost 74. These were played in every section of the United States, Last season, the quintet played 106 games and won 94 and lost 12. New Britain will present identical- ly the same lineup as represented this city on the court last year. Ru- benstein and Sloman will be in at forwards with Zakzewski at center and Shechan and Leary at guard. Restelli and Holst will be reserve men and if Holst gets into the game, it will be Greek against Greek. Zakzewski is fully recovered from an injury recelved to his ankle on New Year's night against Bristol and the full attack of New Britain's scor- ing power will be thrown into the face of the invading quintet tomor- row night. The game is considered to be onc of the best attractions of the year. It will start promptly at 9 o'clock.

The Burritts emerged a 47 to 34 winner Wednesday evening after a wild and woolly game that took on the ap- pearance of a free-for-all during most of the conflict. ‘The Southington outfit forced the locals to extend themselves to the limit to cop the verdict but the Bur- ritts are confident that they will run roughshod over the visitors on the large Arena floor. The “Y" team, | however, is just as confident that & large floor will benefit it and will be out to even up the series. So far the Burritts have won nine out of ten games and have captured their last five games in a row. The team will be prepred to make it ten Saturday evening and will take the floor with ifs strongest lineup.
