BOYS CLUB LOSES
 TO H0PEVlLLE TEAM
Play Fast Game, But Waterbury Team and Stormy Night Prove
 Too Much For Them

The Boys club team had a wild and stormy time last night, being Nictimized by the sleet storm on the way to Waterbury and then receiv- ing a trimming at the hands of the Hopeville Juniors when they arrived. The players began the trip in 'Nibby' Nyborg's automobile, but this skidded into a rut and up against a fence, on Waterbury mountain, where 1t decided to spend the night, so that the rest of the journey had to be made by trolley. Superintend- ent Dwight Skinner and General Manager Abe Aronson made the journey in the. formers automobile, and this was struck by a skidding car in Cheshire. The damage to Mr. Skinner's machine was slight, but a salvaglng trip was necessary today to rescue Nyborg's from its cold nights resting place.
 Due to these accidents, the team did not take the floor until after 9 o'clock. They immediately found themselves up against an exception ally fast group of players and were beaten, 49-37. The Hopeville boys lowered around Captain Mike Luke all evening, this being shown by the fact that fl fouls were committed against him. He sank four floor shots despite this close guarding while Matty Mieczkowski Tipped in six more. The whole team played a hard game. but the strange floor and the speed of thei ropponents proved too much.
 Darlington Of the Hopeville aggre- gation was by far the star of the evening. He ran wild and dropped , in II double-counters from all angles and four one-counters from the 15-foot line. There will he a return game on the local floor on Monday evening, December 15, and the club basketeers feel that, back among familiar surroundings, they will be able 10 turn the tables on the Waterbury boys.
