Sboaking of S Whew! What a thriil Middletown provided Baturday night—-and what a terrible game New DBritain put up In the first half, Middletown's 23 to 14 lead at half time wes possible in a large meds- ure to the locals' disorganized and disappointing work. True, they won and their game,* fighting finlsh en- titles them to unstinted credit, yet their weak first halt cannot be for- gotten. In that nerve.racking stanza the Nats did what they should have done long ago, but in practice, viz: ex« perimonted with the passing game. The Dixles next Saturday will glve them a few pointers passwork. night in And in reviewing Saturday night's game don't forget the formidable “Butsy” Sturm. “Butsy” played a whale of a game and held the dan- gerous “Red” Reynolds to a single goal. In the second half, after Sturm went out on four fouls, his absence was at once felt, i Had New DBritaln lost, credit on the offense would bave gone to Mc- Cabe ahd on the defense to Sturm. Though the crowd razzed “Butsy” unmercitully, it was only begause of partizan fecling. To a man, the fans agreed he gave a great ex- hibition of guarding, Johnny Sheehan hag a tough turkey to guard in the person of McCabe, though the machine-like play of the visitors and the disor- ganized work of the locals in the first half contributed more to Mac's success than did poor guarding by Sheehan. Doth local guards did well. | At half time the Nats trailed 23 to 14, the second time this year they lave been behind'at the halfway mark at home. The West Sides led them 25- Endurance contributes largely to the Nats' driving finlshes. The speedy forwards are both young and in the pink of condition and can stand the gaff. Thus when their op- ents falter, they forge right 10ad. Also, one must admit that the Nats got bad brealis on shots in the first half. Xnough fimes did the ball ¢ e the run, then rpil out, to | have kept them neck and neck with Middletown, = But once Sturm was out, and Reynolds and Taylor had hit 'hdr] | stride faybe things didn't hum. was not the only | baskethall game played Saturday. Nay, nay! Ask “Rearcat” Nelson “Keck” Parker or any of the others of the “Y" Saturday leaguers, Tf they're fecling generous they'll ad- mit there were two games in which R. & E. and §. R. & L., were con- tributing factors to the humiliation | of the “Y" leaguers.

Tn this way team work fs kept at a minimum, while the plavers themsclves be- come loosely adept at soveral sty of team play, rather that expert in one. is not a eriticism. but a fact. | No one blames the boys for making the most, finarcially, of their bas- Ketbail ability, More power to them. Tt just calls to mind what heights of basketball skill are possible, were it possible or sensible for a tram to re- naain intact practice reguiarly and work 'with none others than their teammates.
