 WINDSOR, 67.lO
Boys From Upstate Prove Nc
 Match for Red and Gold

The high school basketball team engaged fin a basket-sh ooting con- test Saturday night, with five lads from Windsor scattered about the 1 floor to act as slight handicaps now and then. The final score of what was supposed to be a basketball game was 67-l0, the locals playing great game and holding the oppo- neDts at bay from start to finish. Especially noteworthy was the magnificent guarding displayed by Henry Zehrer, who was playing his last game with the Red and Gold, as he left school today. The Wind sor coach, during the course of the game, sent in three different men at left forward, but Zchrer held every one of them scoreless. Billy Darrow, playing his first game as d regular in place of Beloin. who graduated Friday, displayed much ability and dropped Tn 8 baskets.
 In the first quarter Captain Neipp took the lead in the contest, sink ing four baskets, while Belsor sank and Darrow one. Snelgrove or Windsor got one, while McDermott made a single point from the foul line. Coach Cassidy's charges opened superb passing attack in the sec ond period and carried the visitors off their feet. Neipp added three more, with a foul thrown in for good measure, while the fleet Oar row and Belsor got a pair apiece. Grip got one, while Burnham scored for Windsor.
 Belsor showed good spirit in the second half by contcnting himself with the high score he had already run up and feeding Darrow, who made good three of these and added pretty one on his own accord from the sidelines. Belsor took one himself, while Neipp ran up an. other quartet. Windsor showed greater activity and made points in this quarter on field goals by Burnham and snelgrove and a free throw by Stewart. Belsor resumed his shooting in the last quarter and ran up four more, while Dsrrow added another and Neipp sank foul. Zehrer also came through with his only basket of the game. McDermott added two points from the fouT line. but Windsor failed to score again from the floor.
 In the preliminary game the sec ond team kept its two-year record clean by defeating the Lewis high school team of Southington, 1s-S. s The scofe:

 Farmers Defeated
 The Farmers proved themselves real dirt farmers by eating dirt, the Cotton Pickers coming back after a wretched start. In the first game Superintendent Sklnncr's agricul- turist ran away with Red Ander- sons pickaninnies and made them look like just plain ninnies to the tune of 15-1.

Second Game
 What promised to be on paper a hard battle for first honors proved otherwise in the second game of the evening when the Subs defeated the Whales.
 The. Old Submarine with Tom Grove in charge having disposed of two enemy ships heard that the Old Swashbuckling Pirate Capt. Israel Hand with his crew was making re- peated raids in the vicinity of the River Court and immediately spot ted the skull and cross bone em- blem at it's mouth and gave chase. Capt. Hand with his good ship Windjammer decided 10 give battle and mustered all hands on deck ready for action, Dorsey in charge of the ammunition and Chief Gun ner Hergstrom sent few whistling shots in the direction of the Subs, but the powder proved damp and some of the shots proved to be duds. The -gunnery of the Subs, however, proved excellent, for the first broad- side carried away the mast with Kutscher and Rehm doing nose dives to escape the shells. After the first broadside the Subs found that they had made fifteen hits to the en- emies four. Captain Hand speedily recovered from the first blast and sent Leubeck aloft with a machine gun to snipe off the gunners on board the Subs. Leubcck accounted for five hits and had Capt. Grove ordering the crew below and in a few minutes a torpedo struck the good ship Windjammers amidships and the battle was over with the Old Pirate Hand and his crew scur- rying away in boats. The placement registered in the second engagement for the Subs 15 and the .Windies 5. The Whales were put out of action in exactly twenty minutes. Dressel and Crewe did their stuff to perfec- ton for the Subs while Leubeck was the only man on the Whales team to score points.
