high school athletic team.
Saturday afternoon the Hartford
team came down TO the New Brit.
ain high school gymnasium better
known as the bowling alley" and
did not find ii to its liking. An tho
Newell.coached men could do was
TO score four field goals throughout
the game. The first was made by
Fat" Ogden in the early minutes
of the gam" when he slipped
through the Red and Gold defense
and scored a Sucker" from under
the basket. In the last minute OF
the first half, "Dinny" shay scored
goal from field. This was the
Hartford high contribution in the
first half which ended IN New Brit
aims favor. * to &. Shay made
Hartford's third field goal in the
third quarter. and Walsh made the
fourth Blue and White tally against
New Britain's third team.
New Britain's victory came after
reVerses covering a period of four
seasons. Last year the basketball,
track. baseball and football team Of
last fall were all beaten by Hart
ford, Capital City teams defeated
the Rcd and Gold men twice in bas-
kethall, twice in baseball. once in
track, and once In football.
First Quarter
The victory was the easiest scored
by the team this year, and one OF
the easiest scored over Hartford In
many years. The Hardware City
team got the Jump in the early part
of the game, and kept the lead
throughout. Zaleski began the
scoring spree with a goal from the
floor, Politis came through with an
other which was followed by shot
from under the hoop by Eat"
! Ogden. Pinto sank foul goal
bringing his team to within one
point OF New Britain. Politis made
| II six to three. then eight to three
on two neat shots from the side Of
the court. Ogden fouled Zaleski,
and the latter made point from
the foul line. Shay was fouled and
he made both tries good. The first
quarter ended with the score to 5,
New Britain.
Second Quarter
Coach Newell OF the Hartford
school team had started the game
with two Of his second string men
in the lineup. When the second
quarter started the Hartford mentor
had his best men in the lineup.
I.amcrcanx and Captain Taylor were
sent in at forward and guard re-
spectivcly in place Of Alper and
Duffy. To the spectator Taylor
gives the impression that he is we'll
satisfied with himself and his play
ing, probably getting this impression
from the nice things that were said
about him in football last fall.
Matulis, Zaleski and scully each
scored two pointers in this period,
Hartford made foul and a field
goal, the former by Taylor and the
latter by Shay. The half ended
with the score Is to s in favor OF
the locals.
Politis ran wild during this stanza,
and the Hartford coach moved Fat
Ogden to center in an effort to stop
him. Coach Cassidy countered
against this noble piece Of work by
taking "Toots" out Of the lineup and
substituting Bengston. the junior
varsity luminary. This decision was
especially good since the New Brit
ain team had fairly good lead, and
Politis had three personal fouls or
him. Tho big center could be used

WHAT ARE THE MOTIVES FOR KISSING?

Nils Chrsander noted foreign movie director, re
ports that american girls the sweetest kssers
in the world" He is quoted authority in view
of the fact that he has acted in movies in all the lead

He says German girls kisses matter-of-fact,
and suggest the taste of alligator pears French girls
kisses eager and active but their lips too wet
and their kisses sound like boiler works. However,
their kisses have the flavor of crushed volets
Swedish girls, he says, rather cold, but once
you make them their kisses remind him Of blooming
