Although given tougn rub u The first half and held 10 a score ot Is 10 10, the New Britain basketball team blossomed out in the second half Of the game with the Chryslcr Red Heads Of Bridgeport at inc Stanley Arena Saturday night and made the going a runaway 10 take the final decision by the score Of 4 10 6. The visiting aggregation gave the home club close competition for inc first half only. In tn" second frame, there was no comparison, the locals scoring at will
 Primarily a professional rule team, one that is a top-uotchcr at the game ill the south end Of the state, the Red Heads were no match for the fast travelling New Britain combination at the game governed by the college or amateur rules.
 New Britain didn't show q great deal of good basketball because Of two things. First, the quintet was playing in a game for the first time as a team and second, the opposition never caused the players 10 extend themselves. Ii took each player the entire first half 10 discover tho style Of the other mon on the team but once the quintet started 10 click on plays and pass-work, the onslaught on the Bridgeport goal gained mo- mcntum and the locals went 10 1t with dazzling speed,
 The interest Of the homo town fans was CcntCrcd in the now men on the squad, Conroy, experienced player that he is, appeared right al home and kept up the good work that in former years made him one of the most feared of ccntors op- posing New Britain teams. Foley gives promise Of working in with the team and becoming a strong cog in both the offensive and defensive play.
 Iakzewski, arriving late for the game and Sloman. the two forwards, showed such form that it seemed that they had been playing all dur ing the summer rather than starting their first game Saturday night Tom Lcary displays the same speed and ability to stop the other fellow on the defense and in addition 10 this he chined in with three points last night, giving him d start on the of fensIve end of the game. He could have taken many other shots during .hc contest but passed to others.
 The surprise of the night was sprung when Carl CHope) Rcstclll started the game in place Of Eek ,ewski. Eestelli not only showed nearly all of his old time form in playing the floor but he worked in with the rest of the team like regular. He is going 10 be q yalu- able man with the quintet this sea son. Prince. the seventh player on Inc squad, played nice floor game but he lacks experience with the brand of ball played hero. He has ability.
 Iakzewski. with his puzzlnc style and one-handcd shots. was the SCOT ing kingpin for the night. He drop ped in seven field goals for li points. Conroy was second high man with 13 points, four ncld goals and five foul shots. His ability from Inc frcc-toss line should prove handy addition to tho scoring de- 2ar'ment in the season 10 como. Slo- man CaGcd three pretty shots from th" floor 10 cage six points whil. Foley got two fields and ono foul goal, Eostolli and Prince won, score ."ss for tho night but made up for his with their excellent work on the door,
 Jcpson was the high scoring star on the Bridgeport team. He showed plenty Of class during tho contest and got three field goals and one foul for his nights work. Tho strangeness Of the brand of play with amateur rules in effect. ham pcrod the teamwork Of tho visitors 10 some extent huI 1t is doubtful if jb' Rridg"portors could have stop ped Ne" Britain after the local team Int it's stride in the second haIc
