 After about five minutes Of play the New Britain team scored on n field goal by Reynolds. This together with a foul goal by LaTar was the only scoring ny New Britain in the first half, while Cook was dropping them in from tho free throw line with monotonous regularity. A field goal by Captain Sieracki and another by Cook of Merden. put the visitors into the lead when tho first half ended. The score at this time vas Mcriden Q, New Britain 3.
 The rcd and gold was so far out played in the first half that when the team ran ont at the beginning of the second their rooters pleaded for ac- tion. It was at this stage Of the game that New Britain showed more fight than was evident in any Of the games played so far this season. La- liar, who was having an off night on foul shooting, made two foul goals at the beginning of the half. Weir. who up to this time had been playing n | wonderful defensive game, came for ward with two pretty field goals. tie ing the score before Meriden could | get a point. Then Neipp broke and scored on one of the best shots of the night. But that wasn't all. La liar scored two field goals giving New Britain d good lead. This spurt netted New Britain 13 points before the Silver City team got going. Two field goals by the Meri- den team brought them within three points of the home team. Then Me- Cabe broke away and scored a field goal on a pass from Reynolds. The best Meriden could do for the rest of the game was to score one foul goal.
 Thus q Meriden High school team fell before New Britain for the first time in year.
