Tt was necessary to play a five minutes overtime period to settle the con- troversy as both teams ded regular playing time deadlocked by the score of 24 to 24. The Legion team seemed to have the game tucked away near the end of the second half and with only a minute to go, the locals were leading 24 to 22. 1t was left to the veter. an Tim Cronin, however, to drop in the fleld goal that tied the score and made the overtime period necessary.

The victory went to Hartford by a lone fleld basket as each team got four fouls and the Crescents scored 12 field goals to New Brit- | ain's eleven.
