Speaking of Sports The All New Britain basketball team dropped its third straight Sat- urday night and the fact that it re- quired an extra five minutes for the Hartford Kaeeys to turn the trick did not make it any the easier to lose, One of the glaring faults with the locals, it appeared from Saturday pight's game, is with the guards. Tyndall’s overtime counted toward victory, direct result of the New guards leaving him uncovered, which was the Britain 8ol The ghall was tossed up near the center f the floor. Tyndall back, about at the foul line. ford got the jump and the ball went to Cronin who tossed it to the un- guarded Tyndell, He got an easy goal. Had Tyndall been followed by his guard this probably would not have happened. The same fault appeared several times during the game. Young La Har showed to good ad- vantage in the ond half, and Chuck Wojak as sual played a steady game, getting his share of the donble deckers.

In passing it might be noted that the Falcons are a team the rest of the league must look out for.

Referee, C, Restelli, Timer, McCue, Hartford Kaceys Win, In one of the best piayed games of the season the Hartford Kaceys de- feated the All-New Britain basketball team 28.35 In an overtime game at the state armory Saturday night. The Kaceys brought with them a lineup consisting of such veterans as Tyn. dall, Cronin, and Leonard, names known throughout the state as Ketball players of real elass, but were forced to display all their wares in orderyto squeeze a 3 point vietory over the younger and less oxperienced All-New Britain team. With the start of the G ¥ gawe Yuill threw a floor basket for Hartford and | Taylor quickly evened it up with two foul shots, From then on it was nip and tnek with first one team and then the other leading by one or two points, The close guarding of both LogT | teams kept the seore down low and | Leonard the majority of points made during feree, “Chick” Hayes. Score at | this session were by way of the feul Floor baskets, La Har 4, Wojak tine.

Foul Hartford jumped into the lead and in | shots, Taylor 4, Woj Yuill 2 a short time were leading by six|Tyndell 2, Cronin 2 | points, Tt was at this point in the | game that the All-New Britain team |started to swish them through the | netting with a regularity that brought | the fans to their fect, LaHar dropped a pretty one from the center of the| | floor which was quickly followed by | another from an angle with Taylor | being the sharpshooter. Wojack then {dropped one from under the basket| and made it 20 all. La Har then toss- |ed in what was the prettiest shot of the game. Dribbling at full speed be neath the hasket he shot one over | his head which dropped through the i net putting New Britain in the lead by two points | Just as the All-New Britains scem- ed to be all set for a win over the cocky Hartfordites “Chief” Larson who had held Tyndall to one floor basket, was put out of the game four personal fou'ls, Kilduff taking his place in the lineup. | Cronin found the basket with a neat shot and ed it up at 5 “Mert"” Teylor getting the ball on the tap dribbled 7 the Hartford d fense and sunk a pretty shot and New Britain led 24 The redoubtable “gnowshoe” Sheehan then came into his own and saved the day for the stors by dropping one through the hoop and knotting (he score at 24 all. The ball had just been put into play when the whistle blew ending the game with the score tied at 24 all. It was then diciced to play a five minute overtime period and it was during this extra period that the bat- {tle raged. On the tap off Hartford got pe fon of the ball and a jump ball was ealicd by referee, 1t was !here that the visitors foxed the local boys. Tyndall standing well back of the ball received a perfect pass from Cronin who had reccived the ball on the tap and dribbiing to the basket dropped it through putting Hartford in the by 2 points, shot was by with the t then R 95 FLEVEN TRYING JOB eceding Page) hed Illinois and Michigan for Western Con Both had great foothall enthusiasts strongest kind of an eam could have (Continued from F sible blo In the finished in ferenc honors. teams.
