 Never has swcclcr half Of has- ketball been seen than the first frame Of last nights game. Man for man, the teams hattIcd each other to q staudstill New Britain took the situation by the throat and started finding tho basket anl before many minutes were up, the team lad forged ahead of the Bristol five and seemed bent on turning in q sweet victory. Paul IaHar, Taylor Shcchan and kil- duff, all took turns at shooting, while RcstcIli. playing one of the best floor games of the season, tagged digger" ponoghue around the floor and stopped him from even taking q shot at the hoop. Feldman and Malcolm were the big noises for Bristol in this frame, the former getting three nice long shots and tho latter slipping in two that seemed almost impossible, The score at half time stood 23 to lS for New Britain.
 It was Bristol's inning in inc second half Starting shortly after the whistle. Crowley sank q two pointer and the team piled the points up until the time when la liar scored foul goal, tho count stood 93 all. Dudack, taking the ball on the side of the center of the floor whipped through pretty long shot. making q total of three points for the New Britain team for tho entire half.
 Bristol had tough luck on shots in inc first half, but when New Britain started 10 pepper the same hoop. they experienced the same thing and although many Of their shots were close, because of thr close playing ot the Bristolitcs, they were long and failed 10 count
 Owing 10 his injuries, "Chick' Hayes was unable to referee the game as scheduled and a hurry call was sent out for Clyde Waters, Right here we wish 10 state that Waters. contrary to what many thought, turned in one of the best jobs seen on the armory floor this year. His decisions were met with satisfaction by both teams and by the fans who, during the past few weeks of play here, have been hard 10 please even with Dillon holding the whistle. No one could have judged fouls, or the fine points of the game any better than the of ticial Bristol rc(orce in the game last night.
