Hickson-OIiver Boxing Bout.
WILLlMANTIc WON.
Defeated Local Team, 23 to 1S-Leads
the League.

Windham High school, Willimantic,
turned the trick tina: gives them d clear
lead in the Interscholastic league, de-
feating Putnam High school Friday
afternoon by the score of % to Is. 1t
was a rough, hard game played like a
whirlWind, and the visitors got away
with the best end Of the argument. TC
Captain Kelley goes the lions share of
the honors for his team and the three
baskets that he shot in quick success
sion just after the opening of the Sec
ond half put Windham in the lead,
where they remained TO the finish.
Putnam's woeful lack of team play
was responsible in great degree for
the loss of the game. They played
hard and fast, fighting every minute
Of the way but there was no unity of
purpose. Putnam was leading when
the whistle blew for the end Of the
first half The score was then Putnam
10, Windham 7. In the first twenty
minutes it looked as if Putnam would
win, as Franklin was playing a great
game, with Rich and Macdonald doing
nearly as well.
They did not maintain the pace, how
ever, at a cost of losing the first game
On a home floor during the league sea-
son. At times there was unnecessary
roughness and in this Richmond was
a noticeable offender. Franklin and
Kelley divided honors in shooting
goals from the floor, each registering
five times. Several Of the players on
the Killingly High school team wit
messed the game. The summary:
