Danielson, Feb. 5.-The N. F 4. In- dependents put a dent in killingly Highs long winning streak by defeat ing them 23 to 19 in a. fast game played in the town hall here Friday evening. The game was a pretty one to watch and had the crowd enthusiastic most of the time. Killingly had the lead at ths end of the first half, but during the second half Norwich forged ahead as the result of the Grove brothers. swho worked like charms in the forward po- sitions. playing all around their guard ing opponents. Killian played strong game for the home team and was Johnny on the spot in shooting baskets. He succeeded in shooting five field goals. This was the second defeat of the season for Killingly, they having won out of II games.
