Displaying a whirlwind game, the New Britain Roller Hockey team last night emerged from the slump that has caused it to drop it's last five games and Waterbury was the victim in an overtime encounter last night. the final score being to in favor of the Hardware City contingent.
 AS always. the game developed into d fast exhibition of the sport with each team striving desperately 10 score the winning point. New Britain had an edge on it's rival team in the first period but Waterbury cvened the score in the second frame and both teams got two goals in the third period. New Britain in reality got two goals in the overtime period, one coming from Boucher's stick six seconds after play started in the extra session and the other was made by Alexander three seconds short of q minute of play. Eouch- CTS was disallowed by Referee "Red' Rorty because he had blown the whistle before the hit was made, New Britain didn't question the de cision but went right back into the game and caged the extra point that gave the home club it's victory. l The contest was staged before the smallest crowd of the season but what the spectators lacked in num- bers. they made up in enthusiasm and "Red" ponnelly of the Water bury team vas the target for plenty of raging,

In order 10 clear the path to the state basketball championship, the New Britain quintet will have to de- feat plainield tomorrow night when the Eastern Connecticut five takes the floor for the second time this season at the Stanley Arena on Church street. riainfeld is one team outside of the state league fold that has pinned q defeat on the Hard- ware City combination and to fore stall any claim for state title honors from that direction. tomorrow nights contest is being staged.
 Hlainield defeated New Britain in the first meeting 32 to 80 in one of the best played games Of the year. The outcome was in doubt right up to the last minute Of play and in the last few seconds, New Britain lost an opport unity to tie the score.
 The visitors will bring the same combination that turned back the locals in the early part of the sea- son and a faster combination is not in existence in the state. Brusso and l'V~S!llSti ipI III tue lcl NdiA NAiA and . faster pair has not been seen on the local floor this year. In a great measure they were responsible for Plaindeld's victory in the first game. Stavinitsky, rated as one ot the best floor men in the state league, is 1t center. He has been ap- pea ring as d guard with the Mert- den Endees and has been a big num- Der all year. Normandin, "Whitey" Bvrnot, Madden and Nichols form the guard forces and combine with the other members of the team i'll making the invading quintet real threat to any opposition.
 New Britain. preparing for the Celtics next Wednesday night. will use its regular lineup in the game. Eubenstein and Sloman will be at their usual forward positions with Jimmy Lakzewski at center. Shee- han and Leary will be in at guards and local fans are pinning their hopes on this quintet.

50. CHURCH TAKES
 WEIRD ENCOUNTER
Downs Trade School for Fourth
 Time This Season

One of the seasons Weirdest bas- ketball games was captured by the South Church Intermediates last evening when they downed the State Trade School quinetet by 47-36 after the two teams had taken turns at staging unusually lengthy rallies. The game probably brought the Jn- termedia1e County "" league 10 n' close, as the title has been decided and there is little likelihood that the two postponded games remain ing will be played off
 The eventual winners started ns if they were going to sweep their had made basket Mercy tied the score and then Bell in q space of two minutes, arched four spectacular long shots through the hoop in sen sational succession. Mercy added three more and Bell another. The appeared to be q farce. Then Cohen found his eye and the tide shifted suddenly. Cohen brought the count to 1S-7 as the quarter ended and then ran wild in the second period. flipping in basket after basket from every conceivable angle and distance, while Abel, Anderson, and Jond joined in. The score was knot ted at ISIS and the Traders moved ahead to q o4-lS lead before Mercy made single point for the church team. May then plunked in the longest shot of the night. but the school moved on to 2G-o1 at the half Mercy X O. appeared totally bewildered and tried to make the game debate.
 The third quarter saw the Traders still playing furious ball and push ing their advantage to 30-21 before the winners made anything and then going on again to 34-o3. Then the South Church started a long up ward climb which eqaulled that of the Traders. Bell, Mercy. and Rock we'll collaborated. and finally May came through with two successive baskets to make it 343S, Mercy tide the score from the 15-foot strip but Pond put the Traders ahead at the quarter with his teams last score. In the final period Mercy and Rockwell were loose all the time. and the church pressed it's attack flcrcely while holding the Traders without a single point during the eight minutes. It was a climax which fitted such an insane game.
 Mercy vas high scorer. with Bell following closely in the usual duel between this pair of scorers. Cohen topped the Traders, but Danny Wos- illus saton him in the second half and held him pointless. May played
 q great game in the second half, and
 Rockwell got the jump consistently. Abel, Pond, Anderson and Knowles all made worthy shots. The game was clean. not q foul being called on the winners in the second half The summary:
New Britain herald., 1928-03-02

Reports received from the camps of Leo Larrivler Of Waterbury and Billy Taylor of Hartford state that both fighters are in the best pos sibe shape for their bout tonight at the Tabs hall for the unofficial anna teur welterweight cham plonsl1ip Of the state. The clash between the two will be the feature bout Of the tournament to be conducted by the Mohawk A. (.
 Larrivier in his workouts prepara- tory to the bout tonight, has been showing plenty of speed and power while the same report has been re- ceived from Taylor in Hartford. Both scale well within the welter- weight limits and both are keyed up for the most critical clash of their careers.
 The bout is easily the blue banner attraction of the year and is num- bered among the most interesting in the history Of the sport here. Prov ing the interest of the fans both here and in Hartford in the bout Is fdCL luJt llO ltsEI FS StalS !" VlG tiN diI~ able in this city yesterday afternoon, A tremendous demand for tickets in Hartford presages that tonight's house will be record breaking one. Additional seats will be installed i'll the Tabs hall for the tournament but even with these. it is thought. the seating capacity will be short o, the demand.
 Each fighter has about the same backing from the fans. Taylors $ cleverness and his excellent condi- ton, his ability to box and his known ability to absorb punches have made him q fayorite in many circles, es- pecially among the Hartford con- rtngent. Larrvier's ring genoralshlp and his form in former bouts have made him a decided favorite with New Britain fans while the entire delegation from Waterbury will back him to man.
 Larrivier has the more impressive knockout record He has the peculiar combination of boxing skill and ability to punch with either hand. He possesses a devastating right that has moved down many oppo- nents when he has connected. Taylor is clever and shifty. He also possesses a wicked hook, either right or left and he is able to do damage whenever he lands.
 No amateur bout in q long time had so much depending on it. With the entrance of Pinkcy Kaufman into the professional ranks, thereby leaving the welterweight throne un- occupied the question of supremacy has rested between Clinch, Taylor and Iarrivier. Clinch was beaten by Taylor last week and Taylor is meet ing Larrivier tonight to decide the issue. Besides the title, there is the possibility that tho winner of to- nights bout will be the representa- tive of Connecticut in the national title tournament in Boston next month.
 An excellent supporting card Of nine other bouts has been prepared for the night with large number of favorites being carded to ap- pear. Boys from Waterbury, Hol- = yoke. Springfield. New Britain and Hartford have entered and the best of the lot will be paired up for the evenings entertainment. The first bout will be started al o'clock to- night and the others will follow closely after

CHRYSLERS SCORE
 ANOTHER VICTORY
Clinton Shows Way to Young. sters in Amateur Hockey Game

Jimmy Clinton. veteran amateur roller hockey player. performing last night as a member of the Chrysier team in the Automobile league, showed the way to the youngsters on the Pontiac combine and led his team to 10 victory. The combination of Selander and Clinton at the rushes and Hoole in center backed up by Harry kiefier at halfback and Sitz in the goal. Was altogether too much for Captain Dill and his mates. Dill was the out standing star of the losing combna- ton. his experience enabling him to cope with the superior playing of the opposing all-star combine.
 The game developed into q hectic fight in the second period. Chrysler ended the first frame leading by ? to score. Dill came through ' the second frame to score three con- secutive goals giving the Pontiacs q good lead. Clinton, Solander and Hoole, however. followed each other with pretty goals through excellent pass work and going into the last period, the Chryslers led 5 to 1.
 The last period saw the Chryslers putting on speed and with perfect team work, the ball was carried straight through the Pontiac defense and four goals were made. Clinton scored three of them and Hoola one Clinton, Hoole and Sela ndtr worked nicely for the winners W nile Dill was the big number for the los CTS on the offense. Frank kieffer and Hcinzmann put up a strong defense against the superior play of the Chrysler combination. The
