PUTNAM HIGH WINS.
Defeats K. H. s. 1a to s-Now in Line
 for League Championship.

Putnam high and Killingly high ployed two fast periods of basketball Friday evening on the Putnam floor and Putnam kept their rivals from the championship of the Quinebaug Valley league, winning by a score of IS to S. This gives Putnam a chance at the league championship and a series of games will be arranged later to decide the supremacy. Both teams have won six games and last nights contest was Killingly's first defeat this year. It was plain to the spectators along the side lines that the game was to be kept free from roughness and fouls were called in such numbers that it made the game drag a bit. In the sec ond period more freedom was allowed by the referee and some fast work was witnessed Bennett and Fuller were put out of the game for going beyond the boundaries established for roughness
 Kiliingly led off with a free try. Putnam tied the score in half 8. min ute. Killingly again caged the ball on a free try. Putnam shot the first baS- ket from the floor at the end of six minutes of play. and killingly was not again in the lead. Maher caged a basket on the floor on a long throw and Fuller got the second from cor ner of the floor Maher caged Put nam's last basket on a long pass. The half ended Putnam 12. Killingly 4.
 Second Halt.
 In the second half Killingly went to it but was seldom given an oppor- tunity to shoot so closely were they covered Putnam caged two baskets before Killingly finally succeeded in putting one in from the floor. The sec ond half had gone 12 minutes when Killingly finally pulled off the stunt. Putnam evened up that basket in quick order, but Killingiy came back with another in half a minute The remain ing six minutes went without either side scoring, but many free tries and shots were missed during that time the shooting being wild. Each team was minus one of their best players under discipline in their respective special car of rooters
