BRISTOL PRINCIPAL SCORES LOGAL BOYS, Echo of Last Weeks (ame Re flection on New Britain A statement in connection with the | basketball game played in the Red| Men's hall in B lnst week be- | tween the Bristol and the New Rritain | High school fesmy, appeared in yes terday's edition of the Diristol It was signed by Henry B principal of the Dristol High and casts a very unfavorable reflec- tlon on the sportsmanship of the members of the N, I3, H. 8, quintet, It reads as follows Bristol's Side of It “Through a misunderstanding on the part of one of the high school boys an item In last night's Press | stated that the Bristol High school | basketball team would play re- turn game in New Britain on Febru- ary 17, ;l'ln.u artic Wis erroneous and makes necessary a definite au- thoritative statement. “The High school basketball games are not merely athletic contests, | They are also social events. The | patrons of the games are mainly pu- | plls of the school, their parents and | friends and they get together for an evening of glean sport and whole- some enjoyment. The players are taught by the coach to play accord- | Ing to a strict interpretation of the | rules of the game and according to the highest standards of team play and sportsmanship. The patrons de- sire only that kind of a game and the B. H. 8. teams are accustomed to give them that kind only. This year's team is no exception. It s composed of a group of clean, sportsmanlike boys who play hard but falr. The school authorities who have investigated last week's game are convinced that it would not tend to the maintenance of these stand- ards to play in New Britain on Feh- ruary 17, and they have notified the New! Britain authorities to that ef- fect. Signed, stol I'ress. Cottle, school HENRY E. COTTLE, Principal. Evidently, Mr. Cottle has been lis- tening to the reports of the Bristolites and hds failed to get to the bottom of the matter, according to local peo- ple, who say that while his statement has been made In all good faith, it is only fair to the New Britain team that he should have heard both sides of the story. Game Ends in Fight. The game last week ended up in a small riot, precipitated by a fistic argument between the players on the floor, who in the heat of the game, lost their tempers and struck each other. With about a minute to play, a policeman, acting under the orders of the Bristol chief, stopped the game. Naturally, Bristol blames New Brit- ain, and the denunciations which have been passed out concerning the local boys have been anything but pleasant to the ear. Referee Is Blamed, According to-a number of the spec- tators of the game, the referee was the cause of the whole thing. He is a boy from Choate school by the name of Percy Rogers, and it was because of the fact that he let the game get beyond his control that the flght was possibie. How far his experience in the ‘basketball world goes back, it is not known, but from the manner in which he officiated in last week's game, it appears from High school students, that as a referee he is far from being experienced. His deci- slons were for the most part, local followers say, weird and the interpre- tation which he placed on some of the rules was certainly novel. In all jus- tice to him, however, it is said that there is no suspicion that he was playing a favorite, but rather it was because of his inexperience that he was. bewildered. He was engaged by the Bristol authorities. Tight Starts The game had progressed up to about five minutes before the final whistle, and Bristol was leading 16 to 14, when Landino of New Britain be- came entangled with Waterhouse of the Bristol five and both went to the floor. Upon arising, Landino lost his balance and went down again on top of the Bristol boy. Immediately Crozi, the Bristol forward, rushed upon Lan- dino and struck him., Then the fol- lowers of bhoth sides crowded onto the floor and a general fight ensued. Many blows were struck on both sides and the hits were about even, before the floor was finally cleared and play resumed. This is the local ver- slon. Continuing they say: Game is Stopped. ‘“Referee Rogers, at this point, ban- ished Landino from the game and placed no such penalty on the Bristol youth. This however, did not cause any disturbance to the New Britain team, as they were ready to play, but only a few seconds had elapsed when the Bristol policeman rushed on the floor and stopped the game. The ref- eree hereupon, forfeited the game to Bristol. On the Sidelines A youth by the name of Billings, local High school hoys say was on the side lines and is reported to have cast insulting remarks at the New Britain players. This same young man is sald to have been one of the first to rush on the floor to join in the melee which concerned only the players on both teams. | Relations Strained. Relations between Bristol High and New Britain High are pretty well strained and it is a question whether they will he broken or not. Principal Loufs P.
