TRADERS DEFEAT PLAINVILLE HiGh Local Baskefeers Romp Away to 35 to 43 Win at State Armory | With a lighter and less experienc- cd team facing the strong aggrega- tion of the New Britain State Trade school, the Plainville High basket- all quintet went down to defeat at the State Ammory in this city yes- | terday afternoon by a 35 to 13 score. The Plainville crew put up a game fight but it was outclassed. 8. Przybryz, captain and high scorer of the Trade school five was out of the game yesterday. He has undergone an operation for appen- dicitis and will probably be out of the game for the remainder of the season. He is a patient at the New Britain General hospital. His serv- ices will be missed keenly by the team, W. Knowles who played in his place, came through with flying col- ors as he alone scored as many roints as the entire Plainville team. Gerke, Widger and Buell went the hest for Plainville. The Traders will play their next game against. the Meriden State Trade school five Tuesday afternoon in Meriden. This contest promises to be a battle royal. The summar, : New Britain Fid. F. 0 1 0 TH. Gregory, 1° Zelek, 1t . Retano, 1f Fruscella, If . Knowles, ¢ . 8 Anderson, rg, If .. Vredenburgh, rg .

BURRITTS BATTLE MANCHESTER TEAM Attempts {o Book Kaights of Lithuania Five Fail Stiff opposition is expected by the Burritt basketball team when it/ clashes with the Manchester Phan- toms at the Stanley Arena Saturday evening. The visiting crew is said to have a strong lineup and it is deter- mined to bring the winning streak of the locals to an abrupt end. So far the Burrilts have been de- feating their opponents by one-sided scores and have met with little oppo- sition, The locals have defeated the best teams that Hartford has to offer as well as Bristol, SBouthington and fimsbury., In an attempt to bring hetter opposition here, Manager Saunders is booking games in all sec- tions of the state. There have been numerous inquir- ies by fans as to a Burritt-Hartford Knights of Lithuania series. Many claim that the local team is side- stepping the issue by not playing the MHartford crew. However, many at- tempts by the Burritt management to book a game with the Knights have met with failure. Manager Clarence Lanpher of the New Brit- ain team got in touch with the Hart- ford team Sunday in an attempt to book a Burritt-Knights game but re- ceived a flat turn down. d So far this season the Burritts have won 11 out of 12 games, taking their last seven games by one-sided scores. Their only defeat came at the hands of the Meriden Communities who will appear here for a return game in the near future, Last year the Manchester team en- joyed a brilliant season and lost only cne game. The 8ilk Towners have an imposing lineup this season and #xpect to cause the Burritts plenty of trouble. The playcrs on the team are Dick Kerr, formerly of the Man- chester high team; Larry Maloney, former Manchester high and trade school star; James Chapman, for- merly of Manchester Trade school, and Bissell, 'Talkoski, Kearns, Aikten and Gustafson, well known in Man- chester semi-pro circles. Dick Kerr is well known about the state for his prowess on the basket- ball court and if his teammates are in his class, the Burritts should have plenty of ti :ble copping the verdict Saturday. Manager S8aunders will start Yaku- bowicz and Havlick at forward, Luty in center, and Carlson and Darrow in th2 back court. Gill and Rose will be ready to enter the fray when needed, The work of “Huggy"” Carl- son at guard is creating plenty of commeiit. The former high school star is rapidly developing into one of the best defensive players in the city. He is being ably backed up by “Hammy"” Darrow, who is sinking them regu'~rly of late. The game will start promptly at 8 o'clock. New Britain. Wwilliams ,......... First Rush ThOmpsOn .....cocavenne Becond Rush Center. Doherty ..o............. Morrison Halfback. Weleh ...ooovveossae... Barnikow Goal. After a rather disastrous trip on the road the first two ays of ‘e present week, the New Britain 1 hockey club has a chance to i.art back on the winning path tonight when Albany, the leading lady im the American Roller Hockey league, invades this city to tackle the Harde ware City combination at the Stane ley Arena rink on Church street, The visitors are sitting pretty in first place and although New Britain has the opportunity of tying the Eme- pire state crew in games won, bee cause Albany has played a lesser number of games than the locals, no tie for first place will result. The visiting combination ran away with New Britain last week but this was due more to the weakened condition of the local team than to the exceptional play of Albany, To- night, Barney Doherty, mainstay of the local defense, will be back with the team. Barney has been away from the game with a bad attack of influenza but he has recuperated and is champing at the bit in his cagerness to get back into harness. Albany boasts the presence in its lineup of the two Plerce brothers, Earl and Steve. These two with Lun. deville in center, form one of the best attacking combinations in the circuit. “Molly” Morrison is at half- back and is a tower of strength on the defense. Eddie Barnikow, for- mer football star, and at present sec- ond in the standing among the goal tenders, will be in the cage. Against this array, New Britain will send in “Kid” Willlams at first rush, “Cowboy” Thompson at sece ond rush, Gazzinga at center, Do- herty at halfback and Pete Welch in the goal. The game will be preceded by & contest between two amateur com- binations and it will be started st promptly 9 o'clock. South Church Teams In Contests Tonight Two South church teams will meet opponents this evening at the Boys' club. The Juniors are scheduled to meet a quintet from one of the boys' classes at the Y, M. C. A, at 5 o'clock and are thirsting for an- other win to put on top of that scored la-' Thursday. At 6 o'clock the church Reserves will have a try at stopping the long winning streak of the Panthers, who have been cleaning up teams in this part of the state with great regularity.
