The previous two games between this pair of bitter rivals was divided | on a fifty-fifty basis, the Brass City hoopsters dropping a'heart-breaking overtime battle at Bristol 30 to 29 after leading thelr opponents all the way, only to balance the scales on the following day in Waterbury by chasing the Carrollmen back on the short end of a 20 to 14 score. Both teams are pointed toward state championshiy honors and have complled enviable records to date. The Tabs have lost only one game in ten starts, while the Bristolites after getting away to a rather poor start at the beginning of the season have braced strongly and during the past few weeks have bee riding rough- ehorl over some of the leading clubs lin this section.
