Corbin , 308 nders 11 083 A wild group of Russell & Erwin partisans saw its basketball team snatch a game out of the fire from Fafnirs last night at the Stanley Arena in the Industrial league with two spectacular ficld goals in the last minute of play. The baskets wiped out a three-point Fafnir lead, gave the game to the Russwins by a 17 to 16 score and killed the hopes of the Fafnir crew of winning the championship. With Fafnirs definitel yout of the running, the battle for the pennant lies between Corbin Screw, Stanley Rule and Stanley Works. Stanley Works can cop the highest laurels only if it wins all its remaining games and Corbin Screw and Stan- ley Rule drop all of theirs. Corbin Screw easily won its game Jast night against P. & I°. Corbin. The Screw Shop substitutes played during the greater part of the con- test. The score in this game was 31 to 19. The other game of the night yesulted in a victory for New Britain Machine over Corbin Cabinet by a 16 to 11 score. Unfortunate Error An unfortunate error of judgment by Captain Howard Belser, who is considered one of the smartest play- ers in the league, was the direct cause of his team’'s defeat. With two minutes to go he scored a foul goal and put his team in the lead | 14 to 13. Al Havlick followed this a few seconds later with a field goal and the Fafnir team had apparently won the game. Then George Luke made a beautiful long shot that dropped through the netting as clean as a whistle at exactly one minute from the end, but it still looked like a Fafnir victory as the ball whirled around in the back court from Mieczkowski to Havlick to McGrath. Then came the fatal break. Just 20 seconds from the end McGrath threw the ball to Belser who was in the middle of the playing court. Belser attempted an over-head hook shot which missed the basket and gave the ball to the Russwin team. Karbonic became the hero of the game when he shot the ball from alnost the same spot as his team mate, Luke, and it dropped through the rim at exactly seven seconds from the end. Had Belser held the ball instead of shooting his team might have won the game. This was Russwin's second successive vic- tory and it places that team in fifth place. The score was ticd at 2-all and 4-all within the first five minutes of play. When the half ended the score was 10 to 6-Russwin. McGrath and Havlick scored twice and after six minutes the teams were tied at 10-all. Nyborg made it 11 to 10 and “Johnny" Saxe made a perfect iong shot from the side-mid- dle and his team had a three point lead. McGrath made a foul goal and Belser a field goal to tie the score at 13 within five minutes of the end. ‘Then Fafnirs gained the three point lead which it lost on Russ- win's two long shots. Every member of the R. & E team played & fine floor game, espe cially George [Luke, Nyborg and Karbonic, but the honors of the game go to Luke who was the third of the three brothers to make an appearance on the floor last night. His two older brothers played in the P. & F.-Screw Shop game. Al Hav- lick played the steadic ame for afnirs and was his team's high scorer.

Corbin, Corbin Screw took & step nearer the pennant. The score st half-time was 17 to 4 in favor Of the league leaders. Early in the second half the score was 28 to § but without warning the P, & F. Corbin team began to find itself and it started to cut| down the Screw Shops’ lead. It was 27 to 10 winthin three minutes of | the end end the P. & I team| made nine points in the next thre. minutes.

Rally Fails A rally conducted by Corbin Cabinet after two of its regulars had left the game because of personal fouls failed to bring results because the team made several wuntimely fouls. New Britain Machine won and it deserved the victory because it played consistently. In the last stages of the gam? three who ordinarily play regular positions on the team were mot play- ing. Captain Walthers was absent and Billy Yankaskas and rney” Klopp were on the sidelines because of personal fouls. The score was tied at 2-all, 4-all, 6-6 and Then New Britain Machine ran up a 12 to 7 lead. Stohl, Klopp and Larson brought the teams to within one point of a tie, but there the rally died and the Ma- chine Shop pulled away again. Arena and Augustino played hard, aggr ve games and between them they collected 11 of their team's 16 points. *Iddic” Preisser played a good defensive game. Klopp play- ed well for CabYinet.

The Quakers, victorious in their first seven league games, found " |Columbia’s much fmproved aggre- gation a trifie too much for them at Philadelphia last night, and the Lions from New York romped away {with an casy 35 to 23 win. Penn’s reverse, entirely unexpect- o, in view of the Quakers' long winning streak, left the 1928 cham- pionship still in the air. Dartmouth, the only other contender, can tie Penn for the lead by winning its two remaining games while Penn loses two. A play-off then would be necessary. Dartmouth completes its league schedule this week, playing Cornell at Ithica tonight and Penn at Hanover on Saturday. If the 'n- dians win both of these games they will closc their season with seven viet and three defeats and Penn would be forced to defeat Princeton at Philadelphia in their last game March 9 to gain undis- {puted possession of the title. Columbia’s victory over the league leaders was gained chiefly becau Art Smith, the Lion's star guard, kept Jocy Schaaf, Penn's captain, bottled up all cvening.

There is hardly a major or ‘minor lcague camp in Florida that hasn't its representatives in the fistic crowd, .

PURJE T0 RACE AT LEGION MEET Swedish Star to Substitute in Games for Edvin Wide New York, Feb. 27 (@It all sounds very complicated, but Eino Purje has decided to substitute for Edvin Wide who was to substitute for Paavo Nurmi at the New York County American Legion track and fleld meet at the 102nd engiacers’ armory here tonight. All this switching of feature tal- ent came about through the determi- | nation of leglon officials to have | some of the well-known foreign fla- | vor for their meet. Nurmi was to have run in a spe- clal four-mile race, but the “Phan- tom” got himself in a jam by falling to appear for the national A. A. U. championships last Saturday night. Now he is under indefinite suspen- sion and possibly will remain so even' after the reglstration commit- “|tee of the Metropolitan association, A. A. U, meets this afternoon to dis- cuss his case. Even if he is rein- stated, Paavo says he will not run until he has recovered from a cold which prevents him from giving his best cfforts. With Nurmi out of the picture, the lcglon got Wide to book his entry| for a mile and half race, but the Swedish schoolmaster strained his ankle at Elizabeth, N. J. Monday night and is out of competition for several days at least, Purje now has agreed to qeme to the rescue, He will try to" break Wide'’s world record for the mile and a half set at 6:37 4-5 by the Swede in 1927. SOUTH CHURCH TO MEET QUINTET FROM DANBURY Difficulty is Being Encountered in Securing Agreeable Basket- ball Court, Negotiations were still under way today for the playing of the game | between the New Britain South church and Its Danbury opponents in the semi-final round of play for | the state County “Y" basketball | championship. The local team, which won the Hartford county | through the first round last Satur- day by swamping the New Haven county title winners. The Danbury aggregation, a collection of all-stars also made the grade at the expense of Litchfield county and has brought | Fairfield county into the semi-finals. | The game Is to be played this week, but difficulties in finding a place and time agrceable to both ! teams have been encountered. It | seemed probable today that the| game would take place on Saturday ! afternoon or evening, possibly at the | half-way point of Waterbury. The South Church Juniors, after a week's lay-off, will resume play | tomorrow evening with a game at | the Boys' club agai a team of | players from that organization. | { Albany.
