Although it had the championship of the first half of the Connecticut State Basketball schedule tucked away. the Atlas of New Haven added to its string tories Saturday night at the Stanley Arena by defeating the New Britain five by the score of 32 to 18. home club, starting with a dash that gave the impression that it was out to win, was, after the first nine min- utes, completely outclassed in all ¢ partments of the game. The uncanny ahility of the visitors to put the ball through the rim from distances tied the score before 10 minutes had been played and then snable them to pile up an 18 to 9 lead at half time In the seasion, the Atlas five pr its own way in the game and Britain seemed wunable to score basket although plenty of opportuni- ties were presented.

In the second frame, Sammy Vit bell for field goals thre tintes, Gordon and Chadys both zed in two baskets from beyond the center of the floor, while Lyman, visiting center, caged two nifty second half. On the defensive also, the mpletely sewed New Britain - up. The local baskete were unable to find the rim on tries from a distance and their short shots were so hur- ried that they were unable to get set at any time and some wild toss ing for the basket was indulged in by every member on the team in the socond half. Tom Leary went through the game without allowing his man to score from the floor. In the first half he covered Sammy Pite and Pite failed to cage a g In the second half, he was switched to cover Cohen, the flash, and Cohen went without a basket for the ses. slon. New Britain started off a4 a fast pace and soon hud lead of seven points on the New Haven team. At the six minute mark, Cohen got his first basket. He followed with an- other, throwing them in from near the center of the floor. “Zeke” (‘ha- dys made it six by popping from near the center of the floor and he ven .. ew followed this with a foul shot tying | the count at the %:40 mark. Gordon pegged in a long shot to put the At- las in the lead at 10:20 and two baskets by Cohen after Sloman caged a free try, two by Gordon and another by Cohen and then a foul by Dessinger, gave the New Haven crew ity lead of 18 to 9 at half time, ‘ I Second Half Sturm cut the lead 11 with two successful free tri the beginning of the ond half but “Butsy of vie-| a| rang the ots in the Atlas | | dropp: BOS CLUB TEAN T0 PLAY HERIDEN Shiits to Be Made in Lineup for Game With Co_mmunity Five City Five Leads at Start of Roys' Club Mcriden Com.
