The Collegiate team, which is coached by Sammy Plke, former Yale star, now a member of the Atlas basketball team, had run up a string of eight straight victories until it reached this city yesterday afternoon. The Red and Gold team could not be defeated, the way it was go- ing yesterday. Its two speedy for- wards, Zaleskl and Havlick, would take turns getting through the Col- legiate defense for easy "sucker’ shots.” When the Collegiate guards | doped out a defense against this! attack, McGrath would camp un- der the basket. Beautiful pass work, excellent shooting and air-tight defensive play featured the victory. Although Captain Zaleski, as usual, was the star of the game, every member of the team excelled in his particular position. Matulis and Sowka kept everything in control and when the flnal score was recorded it was found that only one member of the New Haven team scored two bas- kets during the contest.

The time of the match was 15 minutes and five seconds. Boganz was a worthy opponent for the former champion. He used all known holds in trying to pin Zbyszko's shoulders to the mat for the required three seconds, but al- though Wladek was in many tight | situations, through his skill and science, he was able to elther worm or wriggle out of his opponent's grasp and turn the tables in the twinkling of an eye. The card of bouts was an immense success from a wrestling standpoint but it was a decided “flop” from tha promotorial end. A total of 169 paid admissions was taken in at the | door and the crowd was very small. Despite this, the wrestlers gave good | battles and the promoters, eatisfied that the game can thrive in this city, are making plans to stage an- | other card here in a few weeks. In the semi-final, a decided upset was witnessed when Alex Aberg, reputed to be one of the strongest contenders for the heavyweight title now claimed by both Joe Stecher and “Strangler” Lewis, was downed by Joe Stocca, Ttalian, in a one fall to a finish bout in 40 minutes and 41 seconds. The two principals in this bout roughed it about the mat and gave a spirited exhibition of all the holds known to wrestling. Coming to their feet after an intensive few moments of struggle, Stocda suddenly seized Aberg, threw him with a hip lock |and won with a head lock.
