The two teams had a fierce battle at this stage of the game. It may be said that half the players were on their backs while the other half were getting up after fall. Fours were being called with monot- onus regularity. Cook, Meriden left forward, was making every one of these chances good while New Britain | was losing almost every chance. The Red and Gold team was off on foul shooting, Jimmy Reynolds was doing his bit. Five of the six field goals scored in this half were made by the former Suffield wiz.
