The team won so many leagues and forced thereby into o many tournaments that the players went stale at the end of the season and faltered just when another victory or two would have meant state honors. The Inter-Church league was captured by the South church' for the second uccessive vear, the Congregational- ists going through the achedule without a defeat, and Hartford was laid low in the first round of the state tourney, but then the reaction st in and New Britain was elimi- nated by New Haven. The locals also won the Senior County Y. M. C. A. title for the sccond time in a row and moved on in the state tournament until the final round, when they were worn down by two games in a day and were defeated by the Woodstotk Collegians. The team's showing in the city tourna- ment was disappointing, as it lost | in the first round, but it lost to the | ion which ecventually won | championship, and the players satisfied with having retained two titles they won a year ago. | All told, the first team scored wins | in 22 out of its 27 starts, giving| it a two vear record of 45 victories out of 55 games. An intermediate | team was formed with those players | who were under 19 years of age, | and this finished second in the In- termediate County “Y" league with 8 wins and 3 los A funior com- | bination, composcd of boys under | 16, was formed as a feeder to the first team, and this was victorfous in nine out of 14 games played. A | heterogeneous team, the Ringers, played two games preliminary to the Intermediates and won them both. | This gave the church basWetball | squads a grand season’s total of 41 | victories' and 13 defeats.
