 &Beaten, overwhelmed and outplayed every angle of the game, the sketball quintet of the New Britain |2gh school went down to a two to &e defeat last evening in'the Hopkins #eet gymnasium of the Hartford #blic High school, when Captain &ith and his sturdy hoop tossers arly demonstrated their superiority er the locals. From the time that F frst blast of the referees whistle rted the game in action, the fol- Eers of the home boys could see at the Hardware City representa- Res were not in it, and the question their minds was how large the &re would be.
 For the past week Captain Schmidt 70 his mates have put in some hard *Rctice, perfecting themselves in m work, but the lessons taught &em by their faithful coach were evil #ntly forgotten, or else the lads felt &ht they knew more about the game an he did. and essayed to prove it, : #lh the above result. The home 3ys were also handicapped in the Bond half by the withdrawal from &e game of Buell., Breckenridge and 2bellus, although the substitutes Ire about as effective as their Sedecessors.
 5The victors were in top notch form, 3d displayed wonderful team work foughout the game, Roath at center ling the bright shining star for the lift and Captain Smith was also in l fo1ninence throughout the game. l Hartford was the first to score when { sbbard fou1ed Roath while he was Eing an easy shot from the field, l, hich Dragat made good. This hyer duplicated the trick a few sec Ids later. Then Hartford began fouls, but Breckenridge ks found wanting and missed two les, but Captain Schmidt found the It with a pretty shot from the side kes, and this gave the New Britain |oters some heart. Hartford was |t to be denied, and Roath and Wilde Ing up two goals which put their htes in the fore. Rackle, who has len out of the game with injuries |lebrated his comeback by commit hg four personal fouls, which caused E banishment. Bourn, who took his hce, more than made up the loss kwever.
