 The local highs girls team returned from Glastonbury Friday evening, de- feated. But they were not dishearten- ed. They had no reason to be- The girls they went up against greatly out weighed them and had the advantage of two or three years of playing. Ad- ded to that two of Stafford's regulars, Misses Beckwith and Wildey, were absent from the lineup. The Glaston- bury girls played great game. They had their passwork down fine and were able to take many shots at the iron ring without being interfered with. The score was 20 to 2.

 The Independents won their sec ond victory in their second game this year by trimming the All Star five of this town Thursday afternoon. The game was slow. In part this was due to the frequent calling of technical fouls and also to the fact that the players lacked snap. They tackled only now and then and shot for the hoop from impossible positions. The All Stars had lineup that should have been very fast, Cunningham, Fitzpatrick and Cummings being some of the liveliest players the high school has turned out recently. Bernardo was a big factor in the Independents victory.
 The Stafford high school boys won their first out-of-town game Friday evening by 16 to 13 from the Glaston- bury high school team in Glastonbury. Stafford's lads showed surprising speed in this game. It was nip, and tuck affair all the way so the boys had to go, to win, and go they did. The Glastonbury boys were by no means slow. The difference came in the fact that Stafford pushed all the way with out letup. Score:
