NORWICH BOYS DEFEAT
 NEW LONDON Y. N. C. A.

Twenty-six boys from the local Y. M. c. A. went to New London Tues day morning to participate in the an nual game and athletic tournament between the two associations. The game tournament was held in the morning from 10 to 12 and was won by the local boys by the score of S1 to 73. For the athletic program which comprised fifteen yard dash, running high ump, standing broad jump, relay and potato races, the boys were di vided into two groups; group A, those under ninety pounds and group B, those over ninety. New London won this contest, 45 to 37, Norwich be- in gdisqualified in the relay race through the failure of one of the runners to understand the rules. In the aquatic meet, New London had things all their own way, but the local boys made a good showing consider ing the fact that they had no oppor- tunity to practice. Lunch was served at noon, the New London association furnishing cocoa
