ROUGH TERRYV|LLE QUINTET DEFEATED
Boys Club Wins by Second.Hali
 Scoring Spree

A determined but rough Maple End basketball quintet came over from Terryviile last night and man. aged to hold the Boys club at bay for 20 minutes. but the local team took the lead at the opening of the second half and pushed on to de cisive 39-17 victory. Only one o1 the Terryville players who started | was left on the floor when the game ended, three having been disquali, | fled on personal fouls. a fourth hay. ing been sent to an early shower fol l trying to start a row, and the fifth having three fouls against him at the end. All told. Terryville made II points and 19 personal fouls.
 For a long while things did not look so simple for Nick Gill's men. Il was several minutes before anybody even took a shot, and the first try was followed up for a basket by w Cook. Gill Benjamin, and Gcffa made free shots good and put New Britain ahead as the Maple Ends be- gan to foul, and although NJ. Cook scored another field goal Kerelejza brought the tally to A as the quar- ter ended. In the second quarter 1 with the game F minutes old, ker- elejza scored New Rritain's first bas- ket of the game and only one of the half. Five more minutes elapsed before Roland tied the score and then M. Cook gave Terryville an S-6 lead. Benjamin counted from the 15-foot strip for the final score of the half.
 The second half was something else again. Goffa batted follow up into the hoop and New Britain led. Compagnone made 1t 13-10 only sec onds later and after Terryville had taken time out Kerelejza reached out from behind the basket for an- other pretty goal. Hollands basket was offset by two kerelejza- shot fouls and Goffa arched a long one into the netting. Roland and Goffa made one-pointers, and then kley was sent in to replace the local center. w. Cook was successful on two complimentary shots. but Kley put one in and Kerelejza scored two baskets. one clever push-shot while off balance. It was 23-13 when the period closed.
 Grusha took Gill's place as the last period opened. Nash went out on fouls, Kereleiza converting the fourth into another point. Kley took the ball away from an oppo- nent and dribbled through for bas- ket. w. Cooks foul made it 26-14, and the Compagnone and M. Cook made baskets. Red" came through again and Grusha added 8 point. Roland made his fourth personal. IIaase's foul was vain when kiey made a beautiful one-hand toss from the side and Silva popped long one. Grusha brought the count to 37-17 with a basket as he was foulcd. NJ. Cook started some wise" stuff with Tobin and was promptly elected. Terryvlle now had only four men so the club withdrew Beniamik. Then Grusha put fin both of his tries. w. Cooks fourth foul came with the final whistle but Grusha muffed his shot.
 Tony Kerelejza again featured for the club and showed himself worthy addition to the team. He scored twice as many points as any other player. Goffa jumped beaut- fully at center. The guarding held Terryville at sea, Benjamin doing particularly good job with w. Cook. NJ. Cook led the Maple End scoring, while Nash played great defensive game and held New Britain off al- most single handed in the first half. The visitors were apparently used 10 small floors and personal contact, and although the referees whistle was continually busy as he called fouls on them the crowd was shout ing for more. The summary:
