Sweet indeed was the revenge, and terrible. De- feated hy 12 points early in the sea- [son in Waterbury and then by 7 on their own floor, the Boys' club came back last night to more than treble their opponents’ count. In spite of the splendid offensive play of Cap- |tain Mickey Luke, Ray Anderson and | Pete Kereleiza, this was really the lesser factor in the victory, for I Arburr and Eimer Nyborg put up a defense that was as near a stone wald |as possible. Arburr had one of the most dif- ficult men in the state to guard, the famed Carrington, and Arburr held that man to one basket, a quick heave from the center of the floor. Only once during the whole evening did Carrington break away, and that one he flivvered his shot. If he got between Carrington and the basket Arburr blocked the throw; if C: rington outran him, Arburr inter- {cepted the pass. It was one of the prettiest exhibitions of guarding that has been-seen here this season, and Nyborg, faced with the fast Grady, did almost as well, Grady's five bas- kets being mainly hurried tosses from scrimmage. Peter Kerelejza outscored whole Hopveille team, dropping in nine basket from all distances and angl Pete played the best game of his life and was mainly responsi- ble for obtaining the lead which won for New Britain. Luke started slow- Iy but warmed up in the second half to run up six field goals, while Ray Anderson atoned for ad night from the foul-line by sinking gbal after goal In the final quarter. Frey, the visiting left guard, put Hopeville in the lead by scoring from the field shortly after the opening whistle, Tuke dropped in one from the 15-foot stripe, but Frey did the same and it was 3-1. Both teams battled in valn for some minutes, magnificent defensive work breaking up all attempts at scoring until An- derson got to tic the score. Ray then got two free trics and hlew them both, but Luke jumped for the last as it fell from the back- hoard and batted it through the hoop to put New Britain ahead. Kerelejza then ran amuck, dropped in two nice ones from under the bhasket, and fol- lowed with a wonder shot following a quick spin in the middle of the He made his fourth in a row an instant and it was 13-3.
