HIGH SCHOOL WINS
 MERIDEN CONTEST
Victorious in Silver City by
 Score of t6 to 10

Meriden, Jan. 19.-New Britain High trimmed Washington's Red and Blue quintet last night at the High school gymnasium by score or lS to 10 in one of the toughest games ever played on the local basketball court. The contest was enlivened by good many displays of fistcuffs which kept the interest at a high pitch all during the game.
 At times the game looked more like a gridiron battle than a sup- posedly peaceful basketball game. Both teams were repeatedly warned by the referee to play the game cleanly. but his words had little ef- feet. The usually good team work of the Red and Blue was noticeably lacking last night, for the team seem- ed to be unable to get started during the entire game. New Britain showed very fast pasisng attack and out played Washington most of the way.
 Washington scored first when Otto Novakowski dropped in foul after a few minutes of fast floor work. New Britain came back and took the lead
  linauished it during the remainder of the game. Very little scoring was done during the first quarter and the period ended with honors practically even, New Britain leading 4 to 5.
 The second quarter found the Crimson and Gold quintet getting in- to it's stride and increasing its lead while holding the Red and Blue SCOT less At the half, 1t stood to 3.
 Washington came back in the last half and fought hard to regain their lost lead, but the fast shooting and passing of the New Britain five was too much for them. The ball was kept down in Washington territory most of the time and the Red and Blue for wards were given scant opportunity to shoot. The New Britain guards played strong defensive games and broke up Washington's passing game whenever it neared their basket. The game ended with New Britain on the long end of 1G to 10 score.
 Washington'sz stars had a pretty slim night of it. as the team was able to score but four field goals. Hennie Altobello led the Red and Blue tossers with two goals and a foul. Altobello also played a fine floor game and was in the fight most of the time with both fists. Washington's forwards Cohen and Novakowski each clipped in with a basket apiece.
 For the New Britain combination, Belser with his four baskets ane one foul was the outstanding brilliant. Neipp and Zehrer both played good hard games although 'rawther" rough at intervals.
 The preliminary attraction brought together the Southtagton All-Stars and Washington highs second team. The latter won in a walk by the top heavy score of 42 to 2. Thieson with ii goals from theioor starred for the

 At times both men had to be cau- tioned by the referee for holding and clinching. Greb weighed 15Sh pounds and Wilson 159is.
