 GIVES CHANCE
tcontinued From Preceding Psse)

was 2e-I5. Currys fourth personal foul gave New Britain one point. via LaHar, and Cook went into the game at right forward while Gade dropped back to guard for Meriden. Gade emphasized the change with a dou- ble decker. Then Sheehan fouied Cronln and Tim picked of two points. Taylor got one out of two when McNsmsra fouled him and double decker by McCaughey made it 2s-e1, New Britain.
 The Mats took time and on re- sumption Of play worked the ball down under the basket and here Taylor showed his only flash of old time form when he hooked in one of his wonder "over-the- -head" shots while speeding under the goal. Gsde, who had been playing fine for the. Endees. shot pretty goal from well out on the floor and was followed by sheehan for the Mats and Mc- Caughey for his team. Then Cook swished the net for two points from the field and New Britain's 30 was only three points to the good. La- liar fouled McNamara, but the lat ter blew.
 Reynolds Called Back
 With time growing short and the Endees speeding up, the Mats man ager called LaHar out and sent Key holds back into the game. But the Endees were not to be denied and they worked a clever passing game down the floor from where McNa- mara made it S0-29, with the Mats but one point to the good. Then the Endees took the lead for the first time when Cook got away from Kil- duff and shot double decker. Score Sl-30, Meriden.'
 There was but six minutes of play ing time left. Gade fouled Reynolds and Red" fivvered this one but made up for it an instant later with a dandy shot from well out on the floor and New Britain Jed 32-S1. McCaughey's foul gave Reynolds two, more tries and again the feed jug ger missed. With but a minute of play left the New Britain team drew the Meriden defense well down to- ward the center of the floor and Kil- duff sneaked in. He took long pass and stood practically alone un- der the basket. It looked like a sure double decker but as happens many times to the best of shots. he missed and an instant later Meriden had the ball under the Mats goal and Mc- Namara threw in a goal, making it 53-S2, Endees.
 "Red" Ties Score
 Here occurred the argument over time mentioned above and it was at this point that Reynolds more than made up for his previous misses when he tied the score on a free shot and overtime play was ordered.
 Right oft the hop Kilduff fouled Cook and the latter missed the points that might have changed the story of the game. Then McNamara broke away again and dipped in a double decker for the lead. Restelli and Taylor both shot from easy positions and both missed. but on a second try Carlo made good and tied up the score, 35 all.
 With the score tied Meriden took time out and this, their fourth, was upheld by the referee. Under the rules the captain may shoot or des- ignate a man to shoot and Captain Sheehan selected Restelli. Carlo made good and the Mats again led by a single point. New Britain jug gled the ball about 8 bit and then gave it to Reynolds and Red" got l another pretty two pointer. Gade fouled Taylor and Mert ivvered | oothtries. Restelli fouled McNamara and he got one but it went for naught as Kild,fff scored from the Held an instant later and then it was | Ill over. The summary:
