 Fourty-four to ten was the result of the first basketball game seen here this season when the high school five wrestled and raced with the State Trade school team on the Boys club floor Friday evening. A large crowd turned out to start the boys off and fer this they are very thankful Many season tickets had been sold and most of them were used, yet enough was taken in, outside of these, to enable the team to cover all expenses and make money. If this is the case in the future the boys can look forward to a prosperous year. The game started close to o'clock and from then till the end there was a whole lot of action. It was real battle, though the score might make one think other wise. They say practice makes per feet and the boys are beginning to think so, for without the practice they have had during the past two or three weeks they never would have been able to stick out such a fast game. Cunningham, who was the schools star last year, went in as guard, yet he had seven goals to his credit before the game ended. Cummings filled the ,>Jo front court and carried off the honors by totaling nine baskets. Hall of the opponents, who guarded Whitaker, de- serves credit for his work He was at the local forwards elbow at all times. His work was something like that of Pagan, who has been the jinx of some forward in every game he has ever played. His playing Friday night was no exception. The work of Schrier at center was big surprise. This is his first year in the game, yet he got through the affray at the pivot posi- tion with very little trouble. Barrett had the best eye for the basket among the opponents. The score:

 Pilgrim Memorial Fund in Holland
 County.
 Holland county, the second district to be covered in the Connecticut cam paign for the Pilgrim Memorial Fund, has like it's neighbor, Windham, ex- ceeded it's quota by a margin of ap- proximately $5,OOO Of the twenty churches included, only five failed to exceed their quota. Five more than doubled it, two of these multiplying it by more than three. Of the churches which failed to come up to the mark the most important one was the Union church at Rockville, whose quota was the largest in the county, $10,000. Ii has pledged approximately $6,000 The campaign started just as the tex. tile strike had broken upon Rockville involving twenty-five per cent. of the people of the community. It was . | community calamity, and while it last ed, it handicapped any such thing as z drive for funds, whether among the | wealthy or those of more moderate means. It's long continuance, is the sufficient reason for the failure of this church to meet it's apportionment l The directors of the campaign believe they have reason to hope that Rock vile will not see the state work closed without coming very close to it's quota The total quota for the county wa. $28,550. There had been raised, up tt the end of last week, $33,135.25. Th' | largest amount raised in singl church was at Talcottville, whose quot; was $7,500 and whose pledge was $11, All. The banner church in percent age was Vernon Center, which raised 395 per cent. of it's quota. Andove
 was close behind, with 366 per cent
 Somers, on quota of $750, raise. $1,729. In general, the response wa
 ready and generous, and belate, pledges which are still coming in bi'
 fair to raise the total very materially
