TITLE CHANCE LOST
tncxpecte,i Change in Rules Makes Several Lions Players Ineligible for Contests,

An unexpected change In the rules and neglect of the state author ities to notify the Hartford county officials has cost the New Britain Lions their chance to win the Con- necticut title of the Intermediate County Y. M. C. A. Athletic associa- ton. The Lions, who cleaned up the county league and then won county honors by trouncing the Simsbury Cardinals in two successive games this week, were looking forward to the annual state tournament and were hoping to retain in New Brit sin the cham pionship cup which was won last year by the State Trade school. It has now developed that several members Of the team are over the revised age limit for the state competition, and the team has perforcc withdrawn from ifs quest for honors.
 Last year the state rule for teams fin this class excluded all players ls or over. while Hartford county set tho age limit at cl. As it happened. all Trade school players wore within the bounds set by the state, but carly this winter this country changed its rules to conform with those of the parent body. The latter. without notifying the Hartford officials. drop ped the limits another year to l7. and the belated discovery of this now rules out several members of the Lions. Rather than enter with q crippled team and exclude men who have played all year, the Lions have withdrawn. and the county officials, in dcference to the local team, will not substitute another for it.

 This is the best news we have had Tn some time anent the basketball situation Were it not for other ar engagements. Dillon would have been tie referee at mos. of the home games during the past season.
 If the New Britain Roller Hockey team plays like it did last night in Meriden. 1t appears that the cham pionship of the league will come to New Britain. In last nights contest Williams and Pierce wero stopped dead by Brown and Muirhead. In fact. neither got a shot at New Brit aims cage.
 IL vas the greatest defensive piece ot work ever seen in Meriden and it IS doubtful if a greater display has ever been seen in any game.
 The defeat and especially the sting of shutout didn't set well with the Meriden players. Four fights were started in the dressing room after the battle and there is sure 10 be a hectic time in this city Monday night when the two teams meet il the first game Of tho playoff.
