 Reynolds First To Score.
 Both teams started the game in n speedy fashion. Neither team could score or even hold the ball for any length Of time until, after about four or i've minutes Of playing Red Reynolds broke through the New Ha- ven defense for a field goal. Eimas. the New Haven foul shooter. evened 1t up with two foul shots. LaHar's foul goal put the Red and Gold team in the lead again but not for any length Of time. On spectacular play the Elm City went into the lead,
 This was the only time throughout the game that the home team was in the lead for the fighting New Britain machine got going and ran up 20 to i 10 score before the first half ended.
 New Britain ripped open the sec- ond half with two foul goals making the score 23 to 10. Then the most exciting and most anxious moments for the Red and Gold followed. Field goal after field goal New Haven flip ped through the basket. Eimas was also doing his part on the free throw line, throwing in several foul goals with unerring skill until with the score 23 to 20 in the Hardware City teams favor. he missed his first foul shot after dropping in eight in suc- cession. That was the only shot he failed to make throughout the game and it was the most sorely needed one of them all. It was then that Neipp came to the rescue with a long shot. It looked pretty to the Hardware City rooters who had not seen point from the New Britain team in eight min- utes. Then the team got going and tucked the game safely in the bag.
 Neipp Hero of Game.
 Although all played fine basketball. the one player who stood out above the rest was the rangy right guard Dutch" Neipp. Besides making that much needed long shot he held his man scoreless. Eimas, the Elm City right forward who gave wonderful exhibition of foul shooting. was the star of the Hilhouse team. He to- gether with Stevens bore the brunt of the attack and defense of the Elm City team. The lineups: N. B. H. $. Hillhouse High Reynolds Eimaa

 Notes of the Game.
 The New Britain cheering section | consisting of Eddie" Delaney and | George Kingsbury, held its own nicely | against the Elm City rooters.
 Weir, who usually averages about three field goals game, went score- less throughout the contest.
 Referee "Pete" Carney proved un- popular with the players on and off he floor. During one part of the game he threatened to clean off the Red and Gold bunch.
 Toward the first part of the game he whistle blew for time out and in ,ame a New Haven substitute that assembled that we'll known character, Lew Brems. A spectator on the side ines remarked: Good night, they're ! ,iving the game up already"
 Between the halves four New Ha- ren substitutes trotted out on the , loor to give the spectators treat n the line of basket shooting. They , ach took turns for about ten min- T ties without any of them locating the f loop. '
