M. C. A. last nighe, 47-43. The contest was the first of a three-game series, the second of which will be played next Monday at the same place. It was the tenth straight vic- {tory for the local church and the 16th win in 18 games played this winter. The game was fast all the way and featured by nrany long shots of sen- sational character. Lutz and George Hills made it 5-0 for Wapping be- fore Morey scored from the free- throw line. Parker dribbled up for locals’ first basket and the South church gradually caught and passed the up-state team, Bell running wild and Barta scoring some difficult baskets to offset Lutz's string of scores and give New Britain a 23-19 lead at the half. In the second perfod the South church went on a scoring spree, Bell, Morey, Rockwell and Wessels join- ing forces to put New Britain a dozen points in front, but the Wap- ping team took to long-range shoot ing and profited by it, drawing up to within a single point with about five minutes to play. Pospisil scored six field goals from beyond the foul line in this rally, Then New Britain stiffened and held off the Wapping attack, while Morey's keen eye from the 15-foot strip gave his team a safe margin tional; he scored nine baskets and three fouls, besides doing a great job on the floor. Morey was kept under cover but profited by the re- sulting fouls. The rest of the team was kept embattled on the defense with the heavier Wapping men but did their part, Parker and May tak- ing turns at keeping George Hills pretty well smothered. Pospisil and Lutz were best for the losers. The summary New Britain South rid Church F1 3 5 0 0 1 0 0 Bell, rf . Morey, If . G5 Rockwell, If, rg . Wessels, ¢ (Capt.) .. 3 | Barta, rg . | Parker, 1g .
