HIGH SCHOOL TEAM RIDES ROUGHSHOD OVER GILBERT TEAM OF WINSTED — NEW BRITAIN NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1923, T 'i'EAM, BEATEN AT MIDDLETOWN LAST NIGHT, READY FOR INSILCOS THIS EVENING — ATLAS FIVE WINS SECOND GAME IN SERIES FOR NEW ENGLAND AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP — PIPP SIGNS SILVER CITY TEAM AT ARMORY TONIGHT Insilcos With 14 Wins and Two Defeats, Seek Victory Here Ci P Tonight's Lineup New DBritain Kilduft Tyndell Ginsberg Restella Insilcos Green A. Warner Teagle G, Warner Pelletier, Hosdowich Shechan Rice The stage is all set for another fast battle tonight at the State armory when the Insilcos of Meriden invade the Hardware City in quest of the scalp of the New Britain team. The Silver City team has had a splendid season, with 14 victories and only two defeats. Recently the team trim- med the Middletown Y. M. C. A, on its home court. The only Connecti- out quintets that have put across wins over the Insilcos, are the Atlas and All-Waterbury teams. Earlier in the season, the New Britain team dropped a hot battle at Meriden to the Insil- cos, %o that tonight the revenge will be sweet if Captain Restella and’ his men put across a victory. Word comes from Meriden that a big dele- gation of rooters will accompany the team. Chick Hayes will referee the game. There will be a preliminary game, and dancing will follow the main contest. Arrangements have been completed between the managers of the New Britain and the West Side A. C. team of Bristol, for a series. The first game will be played here next Saturday night, and on March 31, the teams will meet in the second game. New Britain Loses The New Britain team went down to defeat last night at Middletown, when the Y. M. C. A. quintet of that town put across a 28 to 17 victory. The game was remarkably clean, not a foul being called on the New Britain five, and only five being called on the Middletown boys. McCabe and Ca- hill did good work for the winners and Kilduff and Carazza featured for the losers.

GILBERT NO MATCH FORN. B. H. 5. TEAM Winsted's Only Field Goal Scored in Closing Minute of Game N. B. H. 8, 45, Gllbert school, 12, The foregoing score does not indi- cate how clearly the Gilbert High school quintet of Winsted was out- played by the team of the New Brit- aln High school in the latter's last home game of the season yesterday afternoon. For the second time in two weeks the Red and Gold guards held the opposing team to a lone fleld goal. All in all it was quite a day for the Hardware City players, At no time during the contest was the up-state team in the lead. At no time did the team threaten to take the lead. The only moment they showed any real form was in the first three minutes when they battled the Red and Gold team on even terms, New Britain soon got going and showered the Gilbert team under 17 baskets. The one thing that the Gil- bert team managed to hoid the New Britain team even in was the com- mitting of fouls. Both teams fouled frequently which resulted in slowing up the game to a certain extent. New Dritain fouled 24 times during the game to Winsted's 23, and Weir were sent out because of infractions of the rules. Hayes and Hale also went out because of the same reason. Had Weir stayed in the game history might have been made at the I'ranklin Square gymna- sium by holding the Gilbert team without a field goal. The Gilbert field goal was scored with a minute to play when Whyte siipped through the Red and Gold defense und scored, The line-up: N. B. H.
