& NATIONAL GUARDS TURN BACK CITY COLLEGE CLUB QUINTET OF NEW YOK WORKS QUINTET—BURRITTS HOLD ANNU NATIONAL GUARDS TOPPLE CITY COLLEGE CLUB FIVE New Britain Team Demonstrates Superiority Over Metropolitan Quintet—Locals Miss Only One Free Shot Out of Eleven Tries—Visitors Miss Brilliant Services of Moskowitz — Rubinstein Cages Five Field Goals in Second Half—Burritts Lose. The New Britain National Guards| tucked away a real feather in its cap Saturday night at the State arm- ory on Arch street when it took the City College club basketball quintet of New York into camp to the tune of 43 to 38. The game was one of the most neatly played seen on the local floor this year though the local team, after starting slowly, demon- strated in the latter part of the first p half and during the entire second half, clear superiority over the vis jtors in every department of play. The City College club team showed all its old fire and dash and for a time, it held the lead in the first half, leading the fans to believe that the Guards were in for a beating. The locals hit their stride, however, and showing a smcoih team work that has not been more in evidence this year than Saturday night, pull- ed up even with the visiting team and breezed in a winner by a 10 point margin. An exceptional feat In one depart- ment of play was noted in the scor- ing columns by the work of the Guards in shooting from the free throw line. Only one shot out of 11 was missed, there b2ing 10 foul goals credited to the Guards. Sloman made four, Rubinstein made one of two, Sturm made two and Kilduff three. To the writer's mind, the New York team missed greatly the whirl- wind play of Moskowitz, the flashy center of last year’s team. He was unable to make the trip this year due to {llness and though his substi- tute, Cooper, flashed a brilllant game Moskowitz is clearly the pivotal point in the team’s play. Like a flash, the visitors were off. The team started a whirlwind pass- ing game that brought their score to six before New Britain could cage a goal. Green slipped in a field goal at the 1:50 mark; Match followed at 2:20 with another and Palitz cag- ed- another a few seconds after Match. Taylor, after several hard luck shots had rolled off the rim, fin- ally tound the hoop and New Britain was trailing, 6 to 2. At the 3:50 mark, Match came down the floor on a dead run, took a pass from Cooper and slipped the ball in. “Red” Reynolds popped a long one in and New Britain had four. Match pulled the same play agaln and gracefully dropped his second goal through the hoop for a count of 10. Here New Britain called time out. Taylor started at the resump- tion of play by sailing through the New York defense to cage a goal. He followed at the 6:15 mark with another, making it 8 to 10. Palitz swept away from his man, took a long pass from Nadel and sank the ball for 12. Match was fouled by Taylor and he dropped both tries in the hoop. The score stood 14 to § for the visitors. Cooper dropped a neat goal through the rim from the side court and the New York team seemed to be on the road to an easy victory. Here the Guards again: called time out and came back determined to hit their stride. At 9.20 Al Sloman start- ed to show the boys how they do it down in “my town.” He dropped a fleld goal through the hoop. He went to shoot another and Match fouled him. Al made both tries good, making the count 16 to 13, Again he whizzed down the floor, took the ball from Kilduff and drop- ped it through the hoop, making it | 16 to 15. At the 12:40 mark. Johnny Shee han dribbled in under the basket and tossed the ball over his head to send the Guards into a lead from which they were never headed. The Guards were plaving brilllant bas- ketball. Cooper tled the score from the free line at the 14 minute mark when he was fouled by Reynolds. Again Sloman whirled down the floor with his man, double passed to Kil- duff and Sheehan and sank the goal, breaking the tie. He added a point at 15:10 making it 27 to 17. Kil- duff whirled down in a pretty ex- hibition of team play and sank a shot from the side court. Sheehan followed at the 15:30 mark with an- other spectacular shot. The 18 min- ute mark saw Nadel sink a long shot from near the middle of the floor, leaving the score at half time 24 to 19 in favor of New Britain e a good cigar all-ways! TN, U5, PAT. OFF.
