BOYERS ARE READY FOR CRUGIAL TEST Taylor and Larrivier Both Conli- dent of Winning Bout Friday Billy Taylor and Leo Larrivier are both hard at work preparing for what both boys consider the crucial test of their careers, their bout in the amateur tournament to be |staged by the Mohawk A. C. at the | Tabs hall Friday night. The winner will surely be recognized as the amateur welterweight champion of the state and will most probably | represent Connecticut in the nation- al title tournament in Boston in April. The twostand today as the leading welterweights in the state. Neither has lost a fight at the 147 pound weight. Larrivier has been fighting more frequently and most ‘consist- ently than Taylor but, despite this, the bout is considered to be one of fhe most even matches ever .to ‘be staged here. Larrivier, member of |th> famous ¥ranco-American l‘hlh\ terbury which already boasts \ampion in Bill Kelly, middle- weight, 1s the favorite with New Britain fans hecause of his many impressive victories in New Britain | rings. Taylor on the other hand, is ronsidered by Hartford fans as un- beatable. t Clinch’s stand against the Capital | City scrapper last week has sent lLarrivier's stock soaring. Many thought that Taylor, rugged and | strong, would be too much for H!ei New Britain hoy but Clinch was | barely beaten in a four round tussle. Kince then it has been discovered that Clinch was il the night of th tournament and this had a great to do with his tired appear- | ance in the last round. An early sell out of all the seats at the Tabs hall is indicated by re- ports comiug in today. More than 300 reservations have been made in | Hartford alone while all the |O(‘HIL ticket, headquarters are kept busy | nswering calls for seats almost | every hour of the day.

Its opponent, Land- ers, saw the game slip from its grasp in the last second of the regulation | period when “Darby” Corazzo made the tying point on a technical foul. The final score was 29 to 25, both winning field goals being scored by Schaefer. This was the first of two overtime | ganies plaved in the Industrial | League at the Stanley arena last | night. The other by .“Gerry” ! Gierochowski. The score was 16 to 15, A foul was called on Gierochow- ski for a mix-up he had with O'Toole of Corbin (‘abinet Lock. Not being satisfied with the penalty tacked on his rival, O'Toole hit “Gerry” with the ball when they came out of scrimmage and a double foul was called. O'Toole missed his chance. Nellie £artinsky's points saved the day for Landers girls who were pushed hard throughout the game to | Eain a 12 fo 10 verdict over the New Britain Machine girls.

Secason's Greatest Upsct Landers team which has been tied for third with the Kafnir quintet dropped into fourth place in the up- set which returned the Stanley Rule players as winners in the first men's game of the evening. Captain Hilding Bengdton was re- sponsible for keepinge.the Rulers in the running through: sensational one- handed ficld goals. He mghle several varieties of shots and was a tower of strength on the floor. He was aid. ed greatly by “Darby" Corazzo who made six foul goals out of eight chances. Stanley Rule got Bengston, Morin, Murphy scored six points while Landers’ representatives collected one foul tally by Litke. Frita. Mar- seli made it two, Kaminsky made it three, and Marsell came through for a field goal which made the count. five. Corazzo was fouled and off to a flver. ‘Walthers and he scored twice. Litke ‘found the hco){ and although Corazzo was making a foul goal, Bucheri and Litke scored twice to even the count at 10-all. This happened after 10 minutes had been played. Litke broke the tie in favor ot Landers with a point from tbe foul line. Within two minutes and half of the intermission, Bengston flashed through for another field goal. He followed it with a foul goal which was equalled by Ka. minsky. Corazzo's two foul gbals put the Rulers in the lead 16 to 12 at half time. Second Half It was Bengston, O'Dell, Beng- ston and Murphy at the start of the second halt and’ the Rule Shop team had a 24 to 14 margin. Preis- ser's two field goals and a foul tally and fleld goals by Nester and Bucheri put Landers within one point of a tie with three minutes to go. Two minutes to go and there was no &core. Within a minute and 4. half of the end, Bucheri made a long shot which whistled througn the netting and Landérs. led' 25 to 24. Within 15 seconds of the end Corazzo was fouled as he was about fo shoot. He missed both chances. On the second attempt, however, Captain “Rilly” Preisser of Landers, who was standing along the foul line, waved his hand u front of Corazzo and Referee Dicl Dillon called a technical foul on Preisser. Corazzn made the tying point. Shortly before the end of the regulation period Schaefer went into the game.
