night when it met the supposedly
weak Kensington Boys club quintet

barely able to exc out 17-15 win
after a savagely and closely contest
ed battle. The church team, starting
its defense of its Senior County "Y''
title, appeared to go into the game
with overweening confidence and
started right off on three points by
Barta and Bell. Then the suburban
team began to put up a magnificent
fight, making up in determination
what it lacked in tinesse. The over
confident South church was brought
up short by this display and was
never able TO get its shaken offense
under way again.
kensington climbed to a A count
by the quarter and actually led at

champions did a little better in the
third period, coming back to tic

BLUES LOSE TO
BRISTOL CHAMPS
Local Title Holders Defeated BY
Maple Ends by u to 6 Score

In a battle of city champions. the
New Britain Blues went down to de-
feat before the strong attack Of the
Bristol Maple Ends yesterday after
noon by the score of II to 6. The
Bell Towners were greatly strength
ened by the addition of three stars
of the West Ends team, Riordan of
New York University and Sugar HUI
greet. also a college star.
Despite these additions. the Bris-
toll team had all it could do to exc
out a win over the New Britain
team. In defeat. the Blues were
glorious. They battled every inch Of
the way and displayed all through
tho game, a fast travelling backfield
and a stone wall line.
Al Fcngler scored for the Blues
with Riordan and Hugrct carrying
the ball over for Bristol. Arnold
Westergren, Vermont Academy star,
played stellar role for New Britain
with his spectacular broken field
running. He caught several forward
passes.
kyeski was big number in the
attack of the Blues until he was
forced to leave because of an injury
to his eye. Joe Argosy at center and
Szymanski. former high school
tackle, were bulwarks on the de-
Tense.
Fay Schwab Of Plainville, playing
his first game with the Blues. starred
on the defense. Time after time he
pulled down runners with spectacu-
lar tackles.

With both quintets flashing dazz-

thrilling 10-minute periods. the New
Britain basketball team nosed out
the Brownsville F2vorites of Brook
lyn. N. Y, in the Saturday night
court feature played at the Stanley
Arena on Church street. The visit
ing team, like all the others that
come to this city from New York.
kept continually squawking over the
decisions of Referee Clyde Waters
but to no avail.
New Britain won the game be-
cause of the accuracy of the local
players from the foul stripe. Browns
Vile scored eight field goals to six
scored by the local five but New
Britain counted II times from the
foul line to 10 times for the WISH
tors. This gave the home club an
advantage Of three points at the
finish, the final count being - to
Is In favor of New Britain.
All the tricks known to the game
were pulled in the first half and the
referee was hard put to it to call
all the rule violations. Both quin-
tets forgot to play basketball as the
half progressed and the game de-
veloped into mauling match with
the score close all the way. New
Britain led at half time by the mar
row margin of II to 16 and only
the fastest sort of play kept the
locals in the lead.
Al Sloman. pitted against Gerson.
clever guard, was once again the
leading point getter for New Brit
ain. Sloman popped in three field
goals and six fouls for a total of
IL points. McElwain proved to be
fully as clever as any Of the WISH
tors and he was a streak on the
floor, passing accurately and bring
ing the ball in at every opportunity.
Johnny Sheehan went like a
house afire >until late in the second
half when his knee was thrown out
of joint and he, was forced to leave
the game. His running mate, Tom
Leary. former Fordham captain,
kept Posnack and Epstein scoreless
from the floor, Posnack shooting
one point from the foul line. Jim
Zakzewski, up against a stringer on
the New York team, managed to
break through for field goal and
two foul shots. He was a whirl on
tho floor and kept his man covered
in great shape.
Zakzewski went out on fouls
shortly after the second half began
and Hoist took his place. Ray. find
ing himself in very fast company,
soon adapted himself to the picture
and worked the game nicely until
the end. Hope" Restelli continued
his excellent work Of last Thursday
night. He relieved Sheehan when
"Snowshoes'' was injured and Carl
formed perfect cog in the New
Britain machine.
The visitors were the fastest COM
bination seen on the local floor in
some time. The Brownsville Favo-
rites are a very smart aggregation
and had the quintet played basket
ball instead of continually Growing
at the referee, New Britain might
have been on, the wrong end OF the
score. Without a doubt. this quin-
tet will be seen in New Britain
again on future occasion. Every
man was crack basketball player
and. incidentally. Saturday nights
defeat was the first one suffered by
the team in Is games. Rightfully
the quintet claims the amateur
championship Of New York.
