Fgoing at top speed, turned the tables on the Heights of South Manchester on the local floor last evening and avenged an earlier defeat by soundly thrashing them to the tune of 44-l2. In the fore part of the season, this { team defeated the New Britain quin- tet 3O-29, in an overtime game, but last night they were no match for the club, and poor luck at shooting added to the lop-sidedness of the score. The Boys club Reserves rolled up record score in the pre- liminary by beating the Triangles of Pennington, 61-23.
 The Main Encounter
 The teams appeared evenly matched at first, with the Heights having perhaps the edge. The visi- tors broke up the home teams pass ing and Larson stirred the cords with the first basket of the game. There followed a period of passing, dribbling, and guarding, after which Luke tied things up. Pete Kerelejza sent the club ahead with another field goal and Luke added another on sensational side shot from near the staircase. Pete kept things go- ing with another and the Heights called time out. When play was re- stunned, Nobby Nyborg came up the l fn CinE Jnuhln-InnGnr I lkQ tossed in a pair of fouls and Ray Anderson made 1t 14-2 as the quar- ter ended
 Nibby started the second quarter by making good on two foul at- tempts and then followed with a field goal. The Heights slowed up the locals scoring at this point by tightening their defense, but Ander- son and Kerelejza sank field goals to carry the locals scoring streak to 22 points. Wright finally scored for Manchester with a neat shot and the ten-minute rest found the score PA.
 The game had been fast and oc- casioned by the unintontional per sonal contact which is unavoidable in a contest Of such speed and re- markable defensive play but it roughencd up somewhat in the third quarter, when dives and tumbles be- came the rule. Luke started things with a long shot, but Johnson and Crimson each made single pointer. Luke came back with a sensational shot made when trapped with the ball above his head. Luke broke away and dribbled down the floor. Wright failed to stop him and took a swing, so Luke added another point from the foul line. Anderson brought it 10 29-6 at the third quarter.
 Kerelejza opened the fourth pe- riod with field goal. The Man. chester lads were completely at sea and, rattled by the breaking of their ten-game winning streak, they started to rough 1t up. Referee Avery put stop to this by sending Johnson from the floor when he took a crack at Luke, who made good his foul try. Hassett made pair of field goals and Houston one, this being the Heights only con- certed rally Luke with two and Kereleiza with one made up for this, and Anderson batted in another aft CT scrimmage under the basket. l Captain Luke flung in another one from the remote stretches of the court, and Ray Anderson brought the count 10 44-12 just before the final whistle.
 Luke, Anderson and Kerelejz starred on the offense, all showing fine eyes. Nyborg, in addition to rice guarding, gave his usual ex- hibition of dribbling and also got six points; all in all it was a big night for the clubs "Prince of Wiles." qotowala and Arburr con- tinualy broke up the Heights pass ing, the visitors never being able to take the ball off the blackboard for following shot.
 The Heights showed no individual stars, but their teamwork was good and their guarding close enough to break up the locals attempts at dribbing. Their one fault was that ! -could-not-shoo After a lot of tough luck on their shots, | they lost their heads and peppered away at the basket without aim, generally overshooting. The score:
