The team, traveling under the names of All-Collegians, has won seven games already this year. ‘The roster of the quintet reads like an All-America basketball team to thoss who have followed the court game among college circles. Lead- ing the combination is Heln of Dart- mouth, the center. For three years, he was one of the outstanding per- formers for the Hunover institution and was rated as one of the best ‘asketeers among the colleges. Two former members of the Villa- nova team are nuribered among the five who will appear here Saturday. Cne is Birmingham, a forward, | while the other is Kuczo. Kuczo will be in no strange surroundings . when he comes here. Although he - has not appeared in this city before in any line of sport, he has battled against the Nutmeg football team | during the past season while he was playing quarterback for the Staple- ton, 8. I eleven. Georgetown will be represented by | two stalwarts, one in the fore court and the other in the back. Scalzo will pair up with Birmingham at forward while McCarthy will play guard. McCarthy is substitute center " on the Georgetown football team. | . The sixth man on the squad will be | Smith of the University of Virginia. The entire combination presents an imposing front and from reports . preceding their arrival here, New Britain wilPmeet with plenty of op- position. The local team is ready to capture its seventh straight game.

It was the first defeat suffered by the home team, which was knocked out of the lead and fell back Into a tie with the lo- cals. The New Britain forwards were too clever for Southingten. Both Bell and Rockwell dribbled through and around the home guards slmost at will and usually terminated their brilliant dashes with neat tosses for scores. Rocky ran up 22 points and Bell 14 to be the two high scorers of the game, Wessels had perhaps the best of a hard battle at center. Barta and May did some excellent foul shooting and defensive work, while Parker held the dangerous Connors scoreless. Southington’s scores, outside of some follow-ups by the big lichol, were almost all the result of long shots, Badley, & sub who went in in the second half, excelled at this sort of play, while Judd also flipped in some neat ones and Nelson got off a p: ' of one- * |handed beauties. Barta scored first on a free toss. Judd and Nichol gave Southington a 4-1 lead, but the New PBritain for- wards carried the locals ahead once more and they were never headed after that.

SILVER CITY FIVE 10 PLAY BURRITTS Court Rivals to Meet in Prelimi- pary Contest Saturday Night Two of the leading semi-pro teams in the state will come to grips Saturday evening when the Burritts and Meriden Community fives clash at the Stanley Arena. Both teams are undefeated up to date and both are given an even chance of win- ning the st title, The Burritts captured the semi-pro champion- ship in the season of 1925-26 while the Meriden aggregation won tha title in the past season of 1926-27. With both teams undefeated and with both fighting for the state title, Saturday’s game should prove to be & bitter battle. 8o far the Communities have won five games, all of them by one-sided scores. They have in their lineup such stars as Kocin, Bray, Koski, Clark, Shulga, Ragler, J. Theisen and E. Theisen. The Thelson brothers have appeared in this city in games against the High school and are well known to basketball followers. The Meriden quintet scored a 60-15 win over the 8t. Mary's five of Portland which the Burritts defeated by a 48 to 20 score, However, the local team used four different combinations in its game with the Portland crew and had no trouble in scoring. The Burritts kept in the cham- plonship race last week by downing the highly touted Simsbury team twice by one-sided scores. The Simsbury team was considered the best crew in the Farmington Valley league and captured the league title last year. Manager Ken Saunders and Cap- tain Arbour will start their strong- est lineup in an attempt to take Sat- |urday's battle.

Another luminary of the game with the same nickname “Kid,” will endeavor to lead his charges against the invading quintet. *“Kid" Wil liams, leader of the local combina- tion, feels confident of a victory te. night. Im the three games in which he has played with the local crew, itwo of them have been won and the other was lost. Although it has not been definite. ly decided, Willlams will probably g0 to the spot against Duggan. This will be an added feature to the game because of the fact that for two sea- sons, Duggan has been champlon rush taker of the league. At the present time, he is also in the lead- ing position this year and as he is | jealous of his honors, a pretty battle is in prospect. Duggan will be paired with Wylle | forming the same pair that brought a champlonship team to New Bed- ford several years ago. Arehle Muire head, last year with New Britain, will play center.
