There Is no doubt in the minds oi, .tbe spectators at the Lonchak-Fay bout Thursday night as to who is the better man. ,i.‘ ~—--~ Now that the Sixth (30. second team has established Its supremacy over the Marvels, It might be well for them to tackle the Pastimes. When the Sixth Company second live goes to Stamford on March 9. to meet tiie Seventh Company live, tiiey will have to play some basketball If they hope to come out ahead. What will be the result of the John sou-Flynn light? is the question which local fans are puzzling over. Flynn has demonstrated that he is all cloth, but what. he can do against the giant negro is a horse of another color. The Norwiilk High basketball team is regarded as one of the fastest In. tersciiolastic teams in the state.

On Monday night the Sixth Com- pany will have a team on their hands that knows the game of basketball in its every wrinkle. The Clark liouse five have always proved to he a popu- lzir aggregation and since basketball first began they have been defeated but once in The Norwaiks and then by the first Sixth Company team ever put on the floor. That was in the memorable year when the new born Sixth was running in opposition to old 'l‘oaini it‘. As it result of this bottle for supremacy. the older team was practically forced out of existence, a number of its men joining the Sixth Company.
