The Park City girls of Bridgeport also made the trip, for no girls team from Norwalk Weft be booked for the preliminary. The young ladies from Bridgeport were victorious in a good game, the score being 10 to 6.
 Tn the feature event the Norwall1 Red Men got revenge and the ser1es now stands one all Another game will be booked in the near future The score was 32 to 26, and just how exciting the game was may be judged by the fact that with but one minute to play the score was tied Just at this time the Norwalk team went wllo and scored three baskets in record time. The Stratford team is well satisfied, however, especially in face of the fact that several local "adher ents'' had laid bets that they would get trimmed in Norwalk by at least 20 points.
 The trip to Norwa1k was made ir buses and was enjoyable in spite o1 the snowy weather. Following the games a dance was in order until { late hour.

Mex Thursday the Stamford Legion tean will be here, and it is hoped to soo1 arrange the deciding game with th Bridgeport Legion, which it is expect ed prove somewhat of a battle royal Free tickets may be in order for tn reserves the night this game is play ed according to the roughing tha took place in the last game betwee1 ~these two teams.
