The visiting aggrega- tion led the locals at half time by a 17 to 16 score but this was soon wiped off the slate through the at- k of the home club in the second hal hrimp” Evans, who formerly plaved with the New Haven Atlas later with the Meriden Insilcos, s New Britain’s nemesis in the opening frame. By his lonesome, he kept the New Haven team entirely in the running. With an eye attuned 10 distances he popped in seven long the half making 14 of his total of 17 points for the New Britain’s showing in the first frame was a sorry one. Imbued evi- dently with the thoughts that the opposition was a set up, the locals played the poorest basketball of the vear. Realizing that something would have to Le done because of the half time lead of the visitors. New Britain picked up its game and in the final 10 minutes of play, there was nothing to it but the size of the lead New DBritain would have over the visiting club. Outstanding in the play of the New Haven team was the work of Evans and Davin. Davin, a lanky red head who has appeared here as a member of various quintets in past seasons, caged three nice goals. He 18 a replica of Cohen, now with Meriden, on long shots. Glickstein helped from his guard position with two neat baskets. New Rritain failed to function as a team in the first half. A slippery floor hampered play all night both in the preliminary game and in the main contest. Players tr: to get a pass to either side while on the run, continually slid off the playing surface. These outside balls marred the play and was probably the real cause of New Britain's poor basket- ball in the first half. It was on entirely different story in the second half, however, as ev- ery man on the team got into ac- tion. Sloman, McElwain and Zak- zewski had contributed two baskets each in the first half while Johnny Sheehan had chimed in with one. In the second frame, the quintet started to play into Jimmy Kakzew- ski's hands and he piled up a total of seven baskets for the ion, Al Sloman, slowed up with a pain- ful heel bruise, nevertheless played a whale of a game. He caged threc more baskets in the second frame, every one of them a spectacular shot. McElwain caged a pretty counter in the second half but he was removed on four personal fouls before the session was half finished. Carl Restelli again entered contest and he continue s lent work. He filled in a perfe cog once again in the machine and although he went scoreless, it was | his passcs from the pivot position at the foul line that enabled Britain to bring in the ball on cuts and score the points. Sheehan caged two in this session and Tom Leary 1opped into the breach to also cag two neat haskets. New Dritain’s work In the second half was a beautiful piece of busi- ness. Behind at half time, the team counseled with the manager the players went to work. As the plays started to work out, by leaps and bounds the team went into a lead and kept piling up its advan- tage until the McElwain and Sloman again dem- onstrated their class as a speedy pair of ‘forwards. 1 nassuming in atti- tude, McElwain kept working in the team play and formed the pivot around which New Britain's hest work was done Sior rded closely throughout the made five spectacular shots whi Z ski was unstoppable as h one-handed t and hots for against guard 1n the “lio could stop matter wh r away from the hoop, he tossed the ball at the | he sank a « 1 outstand was ¢ e New nished City qn sily the t oppositior scason hen the W New Britain rid Lim City Five etz Teary, Davin, Wexter, Glickstein ender, 1. & i : scorer, !

The Hartford quintet presented an imposing lineup featured by the presence of McKernan, for the Falcon basetall team. He it was who started the scoring with a field msket but only after five minutes had been played. The Hart- ford team had six points before the Burritts could get started. Saunders shot a goal mark for New Britain's but the Hartford p! s managed to keep an edge at the end of the half. At rest time, the Capital City five led by the count of 12 to 10.

A. will be written tonight when the basketball teams from the two organisations meet on the floor of the local club. Last season, New Britain won three of four games played with the Middletown quintet, while on Thanksgiving night the lo- cals went over to the neighboring city and took their foes into camp in the first game played in the new gymnasium there. This was & tor- rid game right up to the finish and another one to match it is expected tonight. The club appears to bo finding it~ self. Tony Kerelejza still lacks the dash which, combined with his pass- ing and shooting ability, would make him a star, but 8chmarr has run wild in the past two games, Goffa and Grusha are having their best scason, and Compagnone is his old rellable self, with the reserves prov ing quite capable in filling the shoes of the regulars. Middletowh has its biggest weapon in Dunn, a trick-shot specialist who is liable to cage a flip from any corner. The rest of the team is only slightly less dan- erous, with Gustafson, a former New Britain player, being a threat iin the back court. The preliminary game will bring together the Boys' club Reserves and the Whippets. Jack Tobin will be back on the job as referee tonight. Dancing will follow the game.

It was a little, padded Irishman from “Corky Hill" up Providence way by the name of Jim- my Purcell that was the cause of it all. Guarding the Fall River cage like a tiger at bay, Purcell chalked up a total of 62 stops and although J. Perregrin, Harry Thompson and “Barney” Doherty bombarded him with all sorts of drives and hooks, “Corky" let only three slip through him while his mates were rolling six by Welch, the New Britain goalie, and Fall River trotted off with a 6 to 3 win. “Kid" Willlams wasn't needed so much yesterday to help in the offense Lecause for 75 per cent of the time, the game was being played up against Fall River's cage, but Welch, New Britain’s net guardian, was amiss fn keeping in the cage and Fall River caged enough points to win. Welch comes out of the goal en- tirely too much, Yesterday fully three goals got by him that could have been stopped had he his back to the iron guard rail. The other three slipped in through neat work by the Fall River forwards. On the other hand, the goals that New Brit- aln got were earned without any question. k Barney Doherty played up in een- ter yesterday and, veteran that he is, he worked like a Trojan especial- ly as the third period was coming 10 a close and New Britain had a chance to tie the score. in the league could have done better work than Harry Thompson. Throughout the entire game, Harry broke up the I"all River pass work ! and he flashed up and down the rink | defending his own goal and shooting | for the Fall River nets. . B. Perregrin, brother of the New Eritain player, was the high scorer for the visitors. Paired with Har- kins, veteragn star, he wormed his way through the New Britain backs | and caged four of his team’s points. Freddie Harkins caged another while the sixth was one by “Old Man Ac- cidental.” This shot bounced into a crowd in front of New Britain's goal and went in from a New Britain shin pad. Both teams got two goals in the first period through 20 minutes of speedy play.
