w -"thef1t " NV @H''R'
 A good crowd turned out to witness the basketball game between the Con necticut agricultural college five from Storrs and the duintette representing the Thread City Cyclers Saturday eve ming in the new Armory hall on Val ley street
 The visitors had it on the local team ia one way only and that was in weight. As far as general all around play was concerned there was nothing to it but Cyclers. The game was rath- CT a slow and wearying exhibition.
 In justice to the visitors however. it should be remembered that they have a small and cramped surface up- on which to practice at home. and when meeting any team on a foreign floor are at a great disadvantage. The personnel of the college five was all right and with the right conditions for preparation for the interesting indoor sport would see vast difference in the "aggies'" play.
 One thing that did more to hurt the game as it was played Saturday eve ming was the utter lack of interest taken by the referee. He apparently considered the contest nothing but a joke. and acted throughout according ly. allowing the game to get away from him. completely. Very few fouls were called although it was far from being a foulless match, as all through the forty minutes of play practically everything barred by the rules was permitted to pass without any notice whatever.
 Early in the first half the home team forged to the front and played rings around the college boys. At times the passing of the Cyclers was exceptionally good, particularly the manner in which Kelley and Wood worked together. Lyman was the high scorer. although Wood was a close second and a number of the for mer's shots were of that variety which can be elassed as pure lucky ones ori- ly. Kelley was pitted against the heaviest man on the visitors team and more than held his own. Card

COMMISSIONER AGREE.
One Station to Be Built for Both
 Grosvenordales.

The railroad commissioners have agreed to the railroad stations at Grosvenordale and North Grosvenor- dale being abolished as soon as new station is erected about midway be- tween the two villages. The plan to make the change indicated has been contemplated for some time. The present stations are not more than a mile apart. and by building a new sta- ton halfway between the present two, one stop for passenger trains would be cut out, with a consequent saving in running time. When the new station is to be built is not positively known, but 1t will probably be next summer.
