The National Guard basketball ' team. displaying tho poorest form of tho season, went down 10 d"'cat . at the hands Of the I,ainllcld town team at the state armory Saturday night by the score Of ~ 10 g. Tn" New Britain quintet lacked team play throughout the game and at only few stages were they even t sembanco of the team that has beaten some of the best quin'o's brought here this year. On th" other hand, the TluInholl team, playing wonderful brand of bas- ketball, plugged away a, the Ne" Britain basket and guarded the local tossers well stopping them from dropping in any large number Of baskets.
 Several combinations were tried out during fine game by tho iIarI- ware City management, but non" Of them could pull through against the speedy play of Dessingor and his mates from the town oN'r East. Madden. the visiting guard, got away and played the game Of n for ward and in all scored II points, being high man for lis team. The work of Shcchan and Ellduft for New Britain tool ont exceptionally well and it was partly through th" efforts of this pair that tho Ne" Britain team ended the game only eight points behind the leaders.
 The visitors took the lead almost Immediately after Shcohan had dropped in New HriIain's first field goal and they kept it. until the end of the game. THo score ot half time stood 26 10 13 in favor ot rlainhcld. This gives the teams an even standing in the matter Of games won and losf, each having a victory over the other,
