Snapping out of its recent slump and with Long John" Kley showing a return to his early season-bril- liance, the Boys club basketball team came from behind to defeat the Middletown Y. M. c. A. by 27-2l in a rough and exciting game cn the club floor here last night. The home team found itself on the short end of the score before the game was very old but rallied sharply and gained 6 lasting lead as the second half opened, increasing its pace and having the visitors hopelessly beaten at the end. It was the third game between the teams and New Brit aims second victory over Middletown.
 Gill first located the hoop. but Delaney Tipped a one-hander which tied the score and Hanson got under the basket twice for easy pops which made the count 6-2 as the first period ended. Kley replaced Zujko as the second quarter began and made a free try good-the first sue cessful one in nine attempted by the home team. Goffa made it 6-5 and Middletown rushed in Moline to re- place Hanson. He scored but again Goffa arched the ball through the hoop and thea Gill brought the crowd up shouting with goal which gave New Britain the lead. Kley added a point, but Moline tied things at 1o-10 and they were still in that state when the half closed.
 The thlrd quarter had barely opened when Gill looped a distance shot into the basket and New Brit ain was ahead TO stay. Kley began his great work at this stage. He opened with a field goal and repeat ed after Hanson had returned and scored on pair of complimentary losses. McKenna was hurried in to replace Delaney but Goffa made it 1S-12 and after Hanson tossed Il basket Kley came through again. The crowd was shouting so loudly that the referee could not hear the timers whistle and in the second between blasts Mckenna made two points for Middletown.
 Parparian went in for Benjamin in the final period, which Hanson started with goal which made it c0-1S with the last field goal Mid dletown scored. Then the club found itself and so completely outplayed the visitors that there was no doubt about which team would win. Con- pagnone added pair of points from the 15-foot strip Hanson being dis qualified for committing one of the personal fouls responsible. Dunn equalled Reds" trick, but then kley assured victory with two field goals and a foul in rapid succession.

Middletown could not stop his scoring. and on the defense Long John" saved many Q score by his dashing play and interception of passes. Gill and Goffa. while not yet completely used to each other, worked satisfactorily at the forward berths.

Benjamin held Delaney to one. and Parparian played well during the last quarter Hanson and Moline, the alternate centers, featured for the visitors The club made only , out of IS foul shots.
