By the morning paper yesterday, we noticed that the Meriden and Bristol Endees are scheduled to ppen a five-game series tonight for the State Basketball championship. x-President Billy Lee of last sea- son’s basketball league again has failed to follow the games played between the various teams. New Britain stands even with both Mer- iden and Bristol in games played. = New Britain has won a game from each of them and has lost & game te cach of the team: Probably after the Meriden-Bris- tol series is finished, New Britain will have to step in and really prove its claim to the state champ- ionship. We must remember, how- ever, that neither Jack Curry of Meriden or Joe Carroll of Bristol, Manager | g 14 of | &, P.

Several times during the present basketball season this same Mr. Lee has attempted to pour cold water on the success being met in basketball in New Britain. Because Hartford is too poor a sport town to decently support a major basket- ball team, is no reason why Les should try to diseourage the game in other parts of the state. One of H. MeAl R.

Moody, Jr. Berkeley, Cal, Jan. 16 (#—Miss Wills, queen of the tennis courts, is to marry Frederick 8. Moody, son of a Ban Fmncisco capit The engagement, which w nounced here yesterday by her par- ents, Dr, and Mrs, Clarence A. Wills had been rumored since 1926, when Miss Wills was fighting her way to- ward the women's amateur net championship on the French Riviera. Young Moody and his father visited the Riviera while on a tour to rope and Miss Wills and you Moody often were scen - togethes then. Reports of the engagement were denied, however, and only last week Miss Wills contradicted such a ru- mor, saying announcement of her engagement would come from her parents and not from the newspa- pers. The announcement did come from her parents in a brief note mailed to her friends.

SCORELESS DEADLOCK Springfield Indians and Boston Ti- of Game, Springfield, Mass, Jan. 16 (P— The Springfield Indians and Boston Tigers warred 70 minutcs here last night in a Canadian-American league game that ended in a score- less deadlock. Both teams had sev- eral good scoring chances, but the play of the rival goalics prevented a tally. 1t waa the first scoreless game of the season here. Boston is the only team Sprintield has peen unable to beat in this city. In the third period Taylor of th: Tigers fired from the right lane, Aitkenhead falling on the puck for a save. Taylor rushed in and took a poke at the rubber. The Boston wingman claimed a goal, but al- though the game was held up for a five minute argument a goal was not allowed. The overtime session was torrid, yet the teams could not break the deadlock.
