M, Stamtord, thefr reputations. The Pirates have players of all sizes on their team, the forwards being exceptionally 1ight and fast, while the center weighs 175 and one of the guards tips the scales at 159. Undismayed by the size and speed of their opponents, the Naw Britain quintet hopes to win its 13th straight victory tonight. Coach Anderson's boys have had a great season, having won 14 games and lost only 3. The teams which defeated them, the Heights of South Manchester and the Hopeville 8peed Boys of Waterbury, were subsequently buried under hopelesslessly lopsided scores and the glate is now clean, The club has rolled up 721 points against 383 scored by its opponents, Captain Mickey Luke leading the way with 282 of his team's points. It looks like a hot battls from the standpoint of both teams. The squad will put up at the New- ark club tonight and tomorrow night and spend tomorrow and Sunday see- ing the sights of New York ecity. Coach Anderson says that, in order not to miss anything, they will not | start for home until on the last train Sunday night.
