In one of the best intercollegiate basketball games ever plaved in this city the Cornell five nosed out at 21 to 20 victory, over the Yale quinter, in the Yale gym Saturday night. The contest was a thriller throughout and the result was in doubt up to the last second of play. The Yale team played a remarkably clever passing game and most of their scores came _ after neatly executed passes. On the other hand the visitors chone brilllantly in long distance shooting, the wearers of the red and white registering the majority of their points on apparently lucky shots from hal? the distance of the court. Kinrey of the Ell five stood out as ths most brilliant player on the court. In the first half he scored all of Yale's nine polnts and throughout his work, both in the scoring department and in the blocking game, was of the most effectlve type. Capt. Charlie Taft played his usual effective game at uard, while the work of Mallon and ‘elner was also of a high order. In the visitors' lineup Sutterby and Captain Brown accomplished the most damaging work. The former hung up four field goals and the latter regis- tered seven of Cornell's total points. Shelton, the giant Cornell _football player, kept the Yale forwards under cover at nearly all stages and his de- fensive work was an important factor in_the Cornell victory. The game started off briskly with both teams showing much speed. The Eli five passed cleverly, but did not get within striking distance of the red and blue basket. After about three minutes Sutterby grasped the ball in the middle of the court and at this long range caged the first goal of the contest. About a minute later Kinney evened up the count when he scored a field goal after receiving a s from Taft. With the score 11 to 9 against them at the start of the second stanza the Yale five started off with a rush and in less than three minutes they had forged into the lead. Brush caged a field goal and this was followed by Mallon's field goal. This gave EN a two point lead which it held for about four minutes. The Ithacans put on extra speed and forged into the lead column again when Lunden caged a fleld goal which was followed by a field goal by Sutterly and a fonl by Captain Brown, Kinney scored for Yale after the ball had been worked into Cornell territory on clever passing and big Shelton of the visitors followed “with a field goal.

HOLMS, Dentist Shaonon' Building Annex, Room A e i me B2 e el Tie Created for First Place in Witnessed in Danielson. (Spectal to The Bulletin.) Danfelson, Feb. 19,—The team of Killingly High school fought its way to & tle for first place in the Quine- baug Valley Basketball league in the town hall ev when it defeated Putnam 38 to 24, in one of the, most sensational school games ever seen on a floor Where many historic struggles of the game have taken place. Putnam, heret fore undefeated in a league game this season, went down to defeat with all honor ‘and with the cheers of an en- thuslastic following of Putnam root- ers ringing in the playors' ears. The bedlam of victorious cheering and racketing from the Killingly _side drowned completely the cheers of the members of the Killingly team, arms circled about each other’s neck on the playing court, for their defeated op- ponents as they trotted off to their dressing rooms. They might as well have whispered. What had been a deafening din from long before the game started, adherents of each team striving to outdo each other with lung ower and a score of nolse-making levices, swelled to a mighty roar as Killingly swept into the lead, to hold it to the end, and wound up with pandemonium 'rampant. The game had been talked about for weeks as the one at which would be decided whether Putnam should go through an entire season undefeated and to a championship or whether Kil- lingly could come back and redeem it- self for the game lost to Putnam early in the season, Killingly's only league zame defeat, and, by winning, force a tie and other special play-off games for the coveted lmgue premiership. Killingly succeeded, but only after a struggle that the boys engaged will KILLINGLY DENTS PUTNAM'S CROWN League—Putnam Meets With First Defeat of the Sea- son—One of the Most Sensational School Games Ever talk about for yvears to come.

Feb. 19.—The market was frregular zgain today on a diminish- ing scale of operations. Tialinz was holly professional, nust week’s holi- and the complex international sit- uation causing a complete olinination of public interest. Metal shares continuedl t: dominate the list, American Smelting ieading with an extreme gain of 3 moints, while Utah and China scored the high- ést quotations in their history. There was further activity in American Zinc and Butter and Superior while tobac- cos, fertilizers, Mercantile Marine pfd and some of the war issues were high- er by 1 to 3 point. A few special shares, including American Coal Products and Pitts- hurgh Coal common and preferred rose S and 4 points and Bethlehem Steel responded to the company’s pol- 'y of expamsion by an advance of 10 3-1 to 479 1-2. Rails and motors were under moderate restraint, but other leaders, notably U. S. Steel held around the previous day’s final figure. Some of the early gains underwent substantial reductions in the Jate deal- ings, when active selling of coppers and’ Crucible Steel caused recessions elsewhere. Total sales amounted to 262,000 shares. Sudden strength of sterling ex- change was attributed to the recent purchase of United States Steel bonds which probably called for the purchase of bills on London to that amount. Francs also hardened, but Italian ex- change weakened. Mercantile agencies reported “unpar- alleled conditions” in various lines of commerce here and at other centers of business distribution. -Advances in fabricated steel continue and various articles of apparel are quoted at high- er prices. Rafjway traffic is steadily Increasing with complaints of car shortages. The pank statement reflected some of the new financing and underwriting of the week, the actual cash loss az- gregating about $17,250,000 with 2 con- traction of almost as much in reserves. Bonds ruled steady in today’s mar- ket. Total sales (par value) aggre- gated $1.645,000. United States coupon 2s_advanced 3-4. the coupon 4s 1-2 and Panama 2s and 3s a point on call dtTing the week.

Either one is apt to defeat the ather at any time. The teams trotted out for the game |. with practically the same lineups they have used through the season. From the first it was evident that the con- test was to be played at top speed and for every advantage and within the first few seconds of play the first of many fouls was called, o it happened Putnam drawing the initlal penalty. Reddy threw the foul goal for Kil- iingly and the team's supporters roar- ed. Many fouls were called on both teams thereafter, over anxiety in play being, responsible for most of them. Putnam was prompt in finding it- self and quickly assumed the lead. In the early stages of the game, in fact, all through the first half, Putnam showed marked superiority over Kil- lingly in team work, covering and oth- er points of general form, the result being a lead of 7 points at the end of 20 minutes of play, the score then being: Putnam, 19 Killingly, 12. Kil- lingly rooters roared encouragement to the team as it_avotted Off the floor, but there was a feeling that the visi- tors had the upper hand and, on the form showed in the first half, should win the game. Killingly had not hit its stride and was indulging in the woeful practice of confining itself to long distance shots at 'the basket, or what is known as the horseshoe game. The change in that Killingly team when 1t ceme back to play the second half, however, was amazing. The players went into the scrimmaging with the valor of desperation and promptly broke down the scoring effi- ciency of the Putnam team. Then Killingly turned to scoring on its own account. Point by potsi the visitors' lead was reduced and finally disap- peared entirely. As Killingly, playing in top form, swept in the lead the old hall fairly rattled with the riot of 100 Lack Steel 2600 Lee Rub 100 Vorliard P . 700 Maxwell 3 Go 50 Maxyyell A 1 pr 0 Maxval 3 2 pr 5600 Mex - Petrol 1350 Miami' Copper 100 &R L " Pacific o & v C Copper Alr Tirake ¥ Centeal 100 Ontarto 2300 Pacific Mall 700 Penn R R ... 100 Peoples G & € 100 PhIl Co. : 6000 Pitta Coal 1400 Pitts Coal pr 200 Press Stcel Car 200 Pull’ Pal Car 100 Quicksitver 100 Quickailver pr 7300 Ray Con Cop 700 Reading 500 Rep 1 & Steel 0 Biep 1 & S pr .. sitver 1300 Studebaker 700 Ten Copper 100 Texas Co. .. 1600 Unlon Paciflc 200 Tobaceo Pr pr 200 Union_Pac pr 15200 U C S of X 500 Tnited_Frait WU S C 300 U § I Aleohol 30 T S Real Tmp 300 U S Rbber ... 100 U 8 Rubber 1 pF 12900 U. §.
