 The elimination of the two Con- necticut teams in the national schol- astic basketball tournament being conducted at the University of Chi cago, leaves the East without a single entry in the race for the na- tlonal title. Nc.ugatuck was eliminat- ed yesterday by Athens, Texas, and Bristol fell by the wayside in its first game.
 The strength of the Southern and Western teams has been too much for the Fasteners and Bristol and Naugatuck met too great odds in their attempts to go through the tournament to at least the semi finals.
 Both teams will still play in a con- solauon tournament arranged for the defeated quintets. Bristol won it's game in this play yesterday.
