[ Speaking: of Sports LYY T YV YR . For the third consecutive year, the Liristol high school basketball team will leave tomorrow to take part the national interscholastic basket- Hall tournament conducted by the University of Chicago. Two years ugo, the team met with little success and was eliminated in its first game. last year, the team went thropgh its first three games and met defeat in its fourth. The enthusiasm shown by Bristol people in this trip of their high school quintet is a fine thing. Over 2,000 donations, ranging from five cents to twenty-five dollars have been received. To the people of liristol and to the people of the state| in general, nothing should be too good for the Bristol players. The team goes with the hest wishes of every basketball fan and lacker of high achool sports. To ‘Tominy Monahan, coach of the team, goes the honor of being the man responsible for the fine success of his court crew. We wish them luck with the heartiest kind of feeling and hope that the team will return home after the tournament with the palm leaves c¢f the national cham- pionship decorating its brow. Plenty of interest is centered to- night in the battle for the state championship between Bristol and New Britain basketball teams. The outcome is about as uncertain as nything in the sports line this sea- son. Despite what has gone on before this season, the two quintets are so Lkeenly matghed that the slighest «~dge gained in tonight's game might mean victory, Tt is true that New Britain took the last game on Bris- tol's home floor but fans here must remember that Bristol took two s from New Britain in this This apparently shows that the old bugahoo of a team having an ad- antage because it is playing on its llome floor, hasn't case of thege two teams. New Brit- in won its only two games of the son from Bristol on Bristol's liome floor. Dristol returned the compliment by taking two of the contests played at the Stanley Arena. There has been some tall ahout another game after tonight's battle. Conrpilation of averages tend fo W that the state title will not he decisively won no matter which team wins.
