ssttssssssssss,sssssssssss
 Some fans never are satisfied. After Saturday nights ganfe, which was as good an entertainment as one could wish for . half a dollar, there were . number who expressed dis approval. Either they thought the referee was not sufficiently onto his job. or they thought this player was bad or something. At any event, It's impossible to please everybody.
 The Mats did show a great i'm. provement In their play and their teamwork was fine. Even had they lost the game their passing and ] teamwork would have been beyond reproach.
 Incidentally, let 1t be noted that this Meriden bunch Is a fast step- ping outfit and not to be taken lightly by any opposition.
 Little Paul BaHar went great while in the game and thesfans were well pleased to see him get chance to start. Paul's greatest fault is that he is too fast---a fault that many players do not have. If he could slow down his footwork bit and take 1t easier he'd find himself do- ing a whole lot better.
 A glance as the summary shows that New Britain won from the floor, as each team scored 10 points from the foul line. At that, Meriden was. best on the free tries, making good on 10 out of 10 while the Mats got only 10 out of 23 trles,
 Both teams played clean ball and the 10 personals on New Britain and Il on Meriden were practically unavoidable.
 If these has been any dissension on the team it obviously is ended for Johnny Sheehan got his quota of shots Saturday night as did Restelli. And the captain giving. Reselli the free try that put the Mats ahead indicated only the best of feeling between the two.
 Red" Reynolds may hlvver as many free tries as the next one, but when one point is needed to tie or to win the Commercial street king is decidedly "there."
