DODGE TEAM WINS
 FROM NASH FIVE
Hyland's Crew Has Easy Time
 With Opposition
League Standing

Flashing plenty O. speed and team work that brands it as one of the best teams in the league. the Dodge team in the amateur league scored an easy . to victory over the Nash quintet ,n the preliminary to the New Britain -Walingford game at the Stanley Arena yesterday alter noon. The speed of the winning crew was remarkable considering that 1t was it's second game and the Nash team appeared slow by com- parison.
 The forward combination of Fu- sari and Eddie McAloon. Jr. (by re- quest) played a pretty game snak- ing passes across the floor from one 10 the other and bringing the ball true to the Nash cage for goals. Charlie McAloon was a star at cen- ter and with Dick Hyland on the defense and Hcrbie Sautter in the cage, there was little chance for the Nash team to break through for many scores.
 Matty Hayes was bit off form in yesterdays game but despite this. he played pretty game. Corbett put up a stiff defense but the speed of the opposition was too much for him.
 The score was tied at 1 all at the end of the first period but the sec ond period was all Dodge with five goals being scored. Nash made a good attempt to come back in the last frame. but red -jerseycd players efforts were equalled by their op- ponents.
