Speakinai of Sports Well, the worm tyrned last night! After being the doormat for the other hockey teams in the American Reller Hockey league, the New Brit- ®in quintet last night crashed through to a 12 to 7 win over Wa- terbury. It was a game like in the old days. New Britain had to win and Waterbury most certainly did not want to loose. Bill Blount wanted to heat New Britain. He worked like a Trojan in the Waterbury goal and although he stopped 73 shots, he failed to stop 12 through no fault of hia. Certainlv he must have felt like Private Bing in the front line trenches during a barrage because everything imagin- ahle came at him from every angle last night. Meriden is here Sunday afternoon and we have a hunch that the Pierce family won't be able to stop Wil- liams. The team that finished last night is, the team for New Rritain.
