South Manchester, April dletown Y. M. C. A. and the Golden- rods, of Winsted, basketball quintets met in this town last night in a game that was advertised as ‘“the state championship contest.” The former | team won the game, but it is believed in these parts that the championship is still resting in the New Britain Y. M. C. A. Several management of the Middletown Y. M. C. A, Goldenrods and the Ramble of Hartford, decided that a little ad® change might be placed in the teams' | coffers with the holding of an elimi- nation contest. The Middletown team defeated the Ramblers two games; so then, just to prove that they were in line for the “title,” they played the ‘Winsted boys last night. Oh, yes— regarding the score of the *champion- ship game.” It was 40 to 24. There was a good-sized crowd on hand to witness the game, but they were mostly from Middletown and Winsted. South Matchester people have in the past been great basketball fans, but they failed to evince much interest in matches of ‘‘championship’ making to suit the wiles of managers. to discuss that little ‘title” y: The record books of the Mid- dletown ‘‘champs” will show that New Britain Y. M. C. A. played rings around them on the Hardware City court, and only a few nights later went down to its opponent’s court, and ‘“rubbed it in.” It has been the claim of the “champlons’” team was weakened on that occaslon, but facts will prove that Oberdick, Spear, Captain Ahern, Salmonson and Ruffin played in the game. BRICKLEY JOINS N. R. Famous Harvard Drop-Kicker Turns Down Chance in School for Ensigns to Get Into Active Service. Boston, April 4.—Charles E. Brick- ley, Harvard’s famous drop-kicker, enrolled in the Naval Reserve vesterday. Brickley had tried to get | into actlve service for some time. Last July he was a sergeant in the Har- vard Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and subsequently it that he was to be assigned to a posi- tion on the staff of the Department of the Northeast. As the opportunity for active service was sglow in coming, however, Brickley applied for naval enlistment. Navy department officlals suggested that he study at the School for Emsigns, but the former gridiron leader decided to start as an enlisted man. It is ex- peoted that he will receive an appoint- ment as chief petty officer and will go to Washington about April 15. Of the great football trio of Brick- ley’s time at Harvard, Eddie Mahan is now a top sergeant in the marines and Tacks Hardwick is a lieutenant in one of the first artillery detach- ments to lIand in France.
