 If any team in the state meets New Britain while 1t is playing in tho form 1t showed against the Bris- tol Endees last Wednesday night and against the Renaissance Five on Saturday night. it will have to show much better stuff than either of these teams have shown. to win.
 We hope that New Britain will be as good against the New Haven At- las n 1t was against the Renais- sance Five and we feel pretty cer- tain that New Britain will more than atone for two defeats suffered at the hands of tho Atlas i've dur tng the first round of play.

These same fans were tho loudest boosters the New Britain i've had after the game and riEhtfully %.

Manager Lanpher decided to call on tho rule for the night 50 there would bs no alibi to be offered like there was the last time New Britain beat the team.
