Corhins got together for de cision as to which two teams would play the first game in the playoft or q triple tie for the championship of the girls league. Landers and Stan ley Rule were named and the r. & F. Corbin team is to play the win ner at a later date.
 These teams have met five times this season and every game was a hummer" The first two occasions were exhibitions. The Rule Shop team won by a to score and the second was a 10 l tie. The league started off with a game between these two rivals and it ended to 5 after an overtime period. Both teams played in the last scheduled game of the season and the Rulers again won in an overtime period. They met again in the play-off of the early season 5 to tie and once again the Rulers triumphed in an overtime game and as a result both teams were tied for the lead as the season ended. Four of the five games played by these two teams were overtime games.
 It so happens that both Of Landers' defeats were from the Rulers. both of the Rulers defeats from r, S; F, Corbins. and both of r. & r. Corbins' loses were to Landers.

 After half time internission Coach Grobstein's men began to pop them in and at one time five points sep arated the teams. The feature of the game vas the foul shooting of the Fafnlr team. It made 10 shots out of 12 chances. LaHar. who again starred for his tean, had a per- , .oct night from the complimentary strip, sinking four out Of four. The

BOYS CLUB LOSES
 TOUGH ENCOUNTER
Dooley and Referee Too Much for
 New Britain Quintet

Although the final score read S4- 25 against them, the Boys club quin- tet won a victory on the basketball floor of the Boston Boys club Sat urday night, and that victory was over their own tempers. Starting the game under q severe handicap when young Tony Kerclejza suffered a nervous collapse less than a minute after the game had begun. the Hard- ware City boys carried on gamely under a referee who not only called fouls on them with reckless abandon but who also subjected them to a constant verbal riding" That they withstood this and even put up q great scrap in spite of it evidenced a high caliber of spirit and sports manship on the part Of the local players.
 The game had scarcely started when kerelejza dropped to the floor. and play had to be held up for about Is minutes while he was given respiration and a doctor summoned. Over er-ncrvousness was given as the cause of his trouble. As the game was resumed Woods danced under the basket for the first score, A minute later Gill went into 9. corner and dipped a sensational one hand hook for tie score, and the teams fought without further score for the rest Of the quarter.
 Baskets by Sweeney and Medaglia gave Boston the jump in the next session. but Grusha made three points and Benjamin sent New Brit ain ahead with a basket and foul. IL was l0-6 when Gotfa arched a goal and Boston called time. Then Dooley and Sweeney tied the score
 and the former made foul. but
 Benjamin evened things at ill. ! Dooley and Goffa made baskets. McVey did the same. and it was 14-
 IS when Goffa put in free try , just before intermission.
 The third quarter saw Boston run up eight points and hold New Brit
 ain scoreless until Goffa made a 1 long shot at the whistle. Benjamin
 opened the final period by pumping {, a brilliant field goal. The teams now
 fought on even terms in spite of several decisions which drew loud
 boos from the group of 2S loyal 1 rooters who had accompanied the | local team. Boston made several
 baskets by bringing the ball in from outside when it looked as if Boston
 men had knocked it out, while the
 calling of 6 double foul when Gill was knocked down from behind also
 evoked the ire Of the Hardware City
 fans. Dooley again featured for Bos.
 ton. For New Britain Gill. Goffa, and
 Benjamin were the outstanding players. The summary:
