Although he wasn't born in Erin, the “luck of the Irish” was a com- ponent part in the play of Eddic Barnikow, goal tender of th den roller hockey team in its game against New Britain yesterday aftel noon. Through his wonderful work in the Silver City cage, stopping the drives of “Kid" Willinms, local rush artist, Meriden defeated New Brit- ain 7 to Drive after drive was made by the New Britain rushers, Williams and Thompson, in the at- tack on the Meriden goal but de- spite the fact that the ball traveled o fast that spectators conldn’t fol- low it in its travels, Barnikow's hin pad received it almost every time. New Britain was in a peck of trouble yesterday. With Barnikow having one of those days when noth- ing could get by him and the ball rolling right with the Meriden play «rs, the locals were helpless. Rarni kow had a variety of stops yesterd and would do credit to the g goal tender in the game. Some of the drives he didn’t see at all while others were kept from going in the cage through his excellent work in shifting. The game itself the hest played affair seen here this year ¥rom the first rush to the minute, it was a fast exhibition of roller polo, played as it used to he. New Britain was on the losing end but there is little criticism of the play of the team The Plerce brothers aided consid- erably by excellent work turned in by Lundeville at center, starred for the Silver City contingent. Steve caged four of his team’s goal caged two, Lunderville one and one was scored by “Old Man Accidental.” Williams caged New Britain's two counters but he put in four others that came out. Thompson also slipped one in but it came out. Meriden chalked up two of these misfits in a game. Tt was a thrilling exhibition and the entire New Britain team played a whale of a game. Doherty, Gaz- zinga and Welch were good on the defense but the Meriden team dis- played a great hrand of pass work that brought the ball through this net sufficiently often to win the game.

The game was preliminary to the New Britain-Holyoke contest. Four combinations were used by Manager Saunders and Coach Ar- bour. The first included Yakug bowicz and Mavlick, forwards; Saunders, center, rbour and Dar- row, guards. It played a very poor type of basketball and at the end of the quart it had not scored. Simsbury during this time, made seven points. Yakubowicz who did not seem to be finding the hoop was taken from the game. So was Parrow. Jasper went in for Yakubowicz and Luty took Darrow’s place. The addition of the two Joe's s ned to aid the team considerably and at half time the score was 10-all. Jasper repeated the feat of last Wednesday when he went in at the start of the second arter and started his team to vic- When the second half started Yakubowicz went in the game in place of Havlick and Darrow again took his place at guard. In this frame Yakuhowicz made six baskets and with Jasper and Saunders throwing them in with monotonous regilarity the New Britain quintet made a run-away race of it. About half way into the “Hank" Arhour, pivot man team, was foreed to leave the g because of personal fouls.
