 SPEEDY FOR CRESCENT FIVE

The Cresccnts of Hartford flashed q fast brand of basketball against the National Guards quintet Satur- day night at the state armory on Arch street, but it wasn't fast enough for the speed shown by the local hoop tossers and the result was that the Hartford five was let down 10 the tune of SC 10 33 by Coach Billy Dudack and his sure ltrc court mas ters. Strengthened by the addition of Abe SilVerman of Dixie fame, the Capital City team was at first thought to stand q chance in the running. but after the first half, things took on q different aspect
 For a good part Of the first half, the two teams battlcd away with the score fled. Reynolds started .he fireworks after a few seconds of play by caging two fouls 10 be fol- lowed a moment later by pretty field goal. MantelIi sneaked in one from the side court and Balfour tied the count at four all with an other field toss from the foul line. Restelli added foul and so did Stermitsky. Sheehan dropped an other free try but Silverman made it six for his team with q free toss. Taylor took q pice pass from Rcy- holds and sank q two counter only to have Balfour cage q pretty long shot to tie the count at eight alI Taylor and Silverman made 1t nine when each counted another free try
 The teams batted hard for min ute and then Carl Restelli broke the ice with a neat field goal and Sil- verman caged a foul toss leaving inc locals in the lead from which they were never headed at this point Reynolds cagod two pretty field goals and Restelli and Taylor added to the score with Billy Dudack ending the scoring for the half with a snappy semi-long shot The score at the end of the first half showed 22 to 14 in favor of New Britain.
 Second Half
 Reynolds went into center and La liar went 10 forward in the second half. Immediately Red" made a free try good and followed with q double decker The Crescents tried hard to keep in the game, but the fast pass work Of the locals had them dizzy after short time. "rcd- ders" Kilduft went in in place of Du- dack and this combination worked like q fresh five starting in.
 Johnny Sheehan went wild and found the hoop for number of good shots while Paul Laiar eludad his guard and caged five double counters before the evening was over. The fighting WIS good until Balfour and Starmitsky were retired via personal fouls and the rout was complete. Silyerman dropped q number of the long double countnrs for which he is famous, but the Guards were busy piling up the score. The final count vas 5G 10 B In favor of New Britain.
 Kilduff had his inning in the sec ond half while LalI1r worked pretty game, the former getting three goals and the latter five in thc time they were in. The Guarns stack up against the Moridcn National Guards next Saturday night,
