Local Basketball Team Scores
 Its Tenth Victory

In one of those games which was SO oEe-sided. unintercsting and featureless that the fans were bored beyond description. the Burritt bas- ketbali team won it's tenth victory ot the season over the Southington Y. NJ. C. A. team at the Stanley Arena Saturday night. After a SCOT ing bee in which the Burritts aver aged more than one point a minute the count was Burritt 5, Southing- ton Is.
 Every member of the Eurritt team to the score. In 40 minutes of four 10-minu,e periods the Eurritts tossed baskets in with monotonous regularity. In the first quarter the New Britain team seem- cd 10 be q mile off form. Despite perfect passes hardly any baskets were made.
 The game was nine minutes old before the Hardware City outfit was able to pass out it's rivals. For five minutes the, score was South- ington 6. New Britain 0. but then New Britain's scoring machine got underway and made the count : to 6 at the end of the first quarter. IL was IS to s at half time. 39 to 14 at the end of the third quarter and while inc defense was holding the lcNto towners to one point the of fense made it ,. to Ia. The Bur ri',s made 24 field goals.
 IL would be unfair to give any member of the Burritt team more credit than his fellow members. Va kuboWicz was the highest scorer. but his teammates fed him the ball on several occasions and he in turn fed his fellow players with passes which resulted in scores. Gill, Havlick and yakubowicZ arc proving to be a good working combination and no matter which two of the three arc used Ht forward they work we'll Iuty's work at center is chiefly his ability 10 play the floor and strength- on the defense and the guards. Carl son, Rose and DarroW were as strong Saturday night as they have been since tE: beginning of the sea son.

 A s4-e4 victory over the Trinity college Junior Varsity Saturday night did no harm to the reputa- ton or morale of the New Britain Eoys' club basketball team, for in winning this rather unexpected Hic- tory it pinned on the Trinity Jay wees their first defeat of the season and also turned a trick which last years club team was unable to do that Of beating Trinity on its home floor in the Hopkins street gym. Hartford.
 During the first half New Britain had 10 shoot at the dark basket and when the teams came off the floor for their rest the club was on the short end of a 13-l6 score. Shooting at the better basket in the final half. the Hardware City team overlook the coilegians and slowly climbed into a ten-point lead. Dur ing this half the locals made 2l points to Trinity's eight and show ed all-around superiority.
 Again it was Jake Parparian. the failure of several sesons. who led the club to victory. Making a miser- able, 20 of his chances when used as substitute and falling down bad ly in practice when his chance for Schmarr's place came, Jake wealth. cred the hardest test of all last Monday night when he made the grade under actual fire. And on Saturday night he continued his fine work. Following the ball like a hawk. he broke up innumerable pa sses and made several of his scores by quick work in following up others shots. kerelejza, Gona and Grusha also functioned beautt- fully on the offense, while Compag- none made himself felt on the de- fensive angle. Gaisino and Adams led the losers attack.
 The Trinity team will appear here for a return game on Monday night. February II, and will be followed by the Junior Varsity of Connecticut Aggies. The date for the game with the corresponding team of Wesleyan university has still to be definitely set. The summary:

Watcrbury-NIiddletown

The second game between Water bury and Middletown was a classic, a game on a par with many of those played in the American league. 1n- stead of the usual slam bang affair usually put on by amateur clubs. the two clubs in the game gave an ex- cellent exhibition of fast pass work and fancy skating. The game was a thriller but it was viewed by almost nobody. the crowd was so small.
 Middletown was represented by Pete Casperinc and Jimmy Clinton on the rush line. Dick Hyland and Frank Hoole at center and halfback. and George Bayer in the goal. Wa terbury featured with Pryor, sixth man for the Waterbury league club. and Bradshaw. halfback. another sub in the American league.
 From the first. the speed Of the Middletown combination proved en- tirely too much for the Brass City contingent. Casperine and Clinton worked nicely in bringing the ball down the floor while Hyland and Hoolc put up stiff defense. Baycr was spectacular in the goal.
 The Waterbury crew showed plcn- ty of speed but every dash and ev- cry assa ult on the Middletown goal was more than matched by the Asylum City combine. MiddletoNn led, 10 l. at the end of the first frame Waterbury made a come back to score two spectacular goals in the second frame. but Middle town scored two 10 one in the third and final session. coming out with q lead of 10 to win the game.
 Jimmy Clinton featured for Mid dlctown with his classy floor work and his great passing. taspcrine worked nicely as his running mate. lioolc was hit on the jaw by hard drive my Pryor. but after q short respit" he finished he game. Barnes and Sanke worked nicely for the losers. Shove, Waterbury goal ten- der, gave a great exhibition Of de- fcnse work. He had 29 stops in in" first period. Payer was q whirl"ind in MiddlctoWn's cage. The summary:

OLD PONTIACS
Still SERVING
IN GOOD STYLE

The Pontias Six, companion ear Of
the long established Oakland. al
ready is beginning to acquire some
traditions of its own.
Many automobiles have comTieted
their life history in much less time
than has elapsed since the Pontiac
Six first was introduced at the New
York Automobile show of 1926.
The first Pontiac Six gained such
immediate favor that it established
during 1926 an AL time record for
the first year sale of any new make
If automobile. Since then i: has
been improved so steadily that to-
dav the Pontiac SIX far exceeds in
power, stamina and performance not
only the Pontiac Of 1926 but also
the Oakland Six Of that same year.
Thus has automotive design pro-
gressed in less than four years.
So rapid has been this ad' ance-
ment that the many thousands ot
Early model Pontiacs still in daily
service are beginning to attract the
mild interest of automotive ant
auarians who haze followed the Pom
tiac through the evolution marking
its total production of more than
100000 ears.
One old Pontiac, proudly inscribed
with large "99" to identify il rs
the goth ear to come from the Pom
t;ac production lines, frequently is
pcinted out to visitors at haywood,
III. Having been driven more than
lOO, 900 miles, it now is owned for
the third time by Central Motors
Sales and Service of Haywood
which thrice has taken it back IN
trade on newer models. The Pontiac
row is used as service car.
Twice during the last four years
The Pontiac has been stolen. Fol
lowing its recovery after the last
theft. the back of the car was found
to have been perforated by ciarg'
o: buckshot. But despite its wounds
and its age, the owners expect TO re-
tain il in service for many years to
come
