WELDON COMES BACK
State Trade School Basketball Head
 Takes Exception to the Claim of
 Torrington Quintet.

c. E. wildon of the New Britain State Trade school basketgall quintet. has submitted the following letter in answer to the Torrington Trade school claims relative to the superiority of tha. team over New Britain:
 Torrington Trade schools claim to the State Trade school basketball championship, as it appeared in Sun days "Courant," would be a joke if it were not for the apparent earnest ness of the ''pretenders." The claim of having a better record is hardly to be credited. Out of sixteen games played during the season, the local team won eleven. Of the five games lost, two were los@ because of the crippled condition of the team, while a third was barely lost by the "sec- onds."
 Previous to the game in question New Britain had defeated Torrington on a regulation gymnasium. At Tor rington, the local boys were defeated on a very poor floor seriously handi- capping any team.
 At the third game when there was a question of a tie game or one minute overtime period was played. In twenty seconds New Britain had scored a basket. A few seconds later Torrington had 0 try for a foul and missed badly thus losing all chances of taking the game. 1t seems prob able that had Torrington gotten the missing basket that there would have been no protest. On the other hand, had Torrington won the deciding game there would still remain tie to be played off with South Manches- ter and it seems altogether likely that South Manchester with its heav- fer and faster team would have de- feated Torrington. New Britain has already defeated South Manchester two out of three games. It would seem, therefore, that. Torrington would better try to defeat South Man chester before laying claim to title she cannot defend
 Further, in the last game with Tor rington, New Britain allowed the use of two recent graduates by the Tor rington team. To this New Britain makes no protest but simply points out the facts in the case.
 New Britain tries to play her sports clean and fair and is willing to give the benefit of the doubt to her oppo- nents at any time, for it isn't the winning of the game so much as the good derived from the game that counts. However, we can enter1ath no protests on the game under ques- tion which, under the conditions Was
