The next was a slow roller sent by Alexander from the center of the foor. The Harttord team was caught flat-footed at New Britain end of the rink. Bouclier was utter the ball like & eak of lightning. As the bull neared Hartford’s cage, Boucher made as if to take it to the side to try a shot. Lovegreen jumped in front of him and the ball, contin- uing slowly on its course, went into the cage for another goal. Speedy passwork from Brown to Muirhead to Boucher (o Alexander gave w Britain another goal from Alexander's stick to increase the home team's lead.

Tt was the seventh straight win of the Lions. Cohen put the Traders in the van at the start by sinking a field goal and Pond followed it with a foul to make it 3-0. At this point Luke scored a point for the eventual win- ners, but Anderson counted from the floor before Marselli made good a free try for a 5-2 tally. Yankowitz sank a long shot but Anderson again {dodged away and it was 7-4 at the fquarter. In the second period the Lions got under way and with Mar- selll, Luke and Yarkowitz leading the way they forged into & 14-11 lead by half-time.

This pair had six free tries during the period and sank every one of them, the quarter end- ing with the score 28-14. Tn the final period the victors contented themselves with keeping the ball in the back court and then suddenly shooting long passes for scores. The Traders spurted briefly when Cohen, who played well throughout, scored two beautiful field goals, For the Traders ('ohen was at his best and tossed four sensational haskets and a foul, while Anderson played a fine game.

South Church Wins Henry Rockwell celebrated his re- turn to the game by scoring ten fleld goals and the' South Church Inter- mediates walloped the Kensington Boys' club by 36-19 in a lcague game at the local Boys' club., Although his injured finger was still bandaged, “Rocky” played a stellar game and during the first half scored more points than all the remaining play- ers on both teams put together, dropping in all manner of short and long shots. Peck was the first to score and then Rocky began on find- ing the hoop, making six baskets in the half. May and Peck got a goal aplece and the former a foul, while {Malone made three points and Ur- | bane two for Kensington to make the half-time count 17-5. The second half was largely con- cerned with the efforts of Morey to | score. “John” shot enough into the hoop, but the ball always came out again, and it was not until late in the fourth period that he finally landed one which went through the netting for a score. Kensington play- ed a more effective game in this half, Malone ting three baskets and Chotkowski two, but the Church, more than held its early lead. The work of Rockwell on the offense was naturally the prominent feature of the game, while Joe P’otts held three forwards to one point and May had done the same ! up to the time when he injured his nose in a head-on collision with Ur- ban. This forced the church guard to retire from the fray. Malone and (liotkowski stood out on the attack for Kensington and Wright on the defense. The losers roughed it up considerably toward the end but found the winners ready to give them shove for shove.

This was the first gume between these two outfits and except for the fact that the players |are not fully ised to their skates, the.contest was a merry battle through three fast periods. The Nash team started the fire- works in the first period when Gas- perini scored a goal. Selander tied the score but Matty Hayes slippea one in to give the Nash a lead of one goal at the end of the session. Shortly after the opening of the second period, Grosko tied the score with a neat poke from the side. Then Gasperini and Hall, the old veteran, came through with screaming drives for two more points and Nash had a sizable lead. In the third period, Nash managed to keep its lead of two points when both teams scored two goals. Hall formed a good pivot for the winning combination last night. The team showed plenty of team Hayes holding the spotlight and Gasperini giving him plenty of | help. Eddle Hayes did a nice job of goal tending.
