 PLAINv|LLE HIGH
Local Basketers Romp Away to S5 to tS Win at State Armory

With a lighter and less experience ed team facing the strong aggrega- ton of the New Britain State Trade school, the Plainville High basket ball quintet went down to defeat at the State Arinory in this city yes- terday afternoon by 35 to 13 score.

BURRITTS BATTLE
 MANCHESTER TEAM
Attempts to Book Knights ot
 uthuania Five Fail

Stiff opposition is expected by the Burritt basketball team when it clashes with the Manchester Phan- toms at the Stanley Arena Saturday evening. The visiting crew is said to have a strong lineup and it is deter mined to bring the winning streak of the locals to an abrupt end.
 So far the Burritts have been de- feating their opponents by one-sided scores and have met with little oppo- sition. The locals have defeated the best teams that Hartford has to offer as we'll as Bristol, Southington and Simsbury. In an attempt to bring better opposition here, Manager Saunders is booking games in all sec lions of the state.
 There have been numerous inquir- ies by fans as to Burritt-Hartford Knights of Ltthuania series. Many claim that the local team is side stepping the issue by not playing the Hartford crew. However, many at tempts by the Burritt management to book a game with the Knights have met with failure. Manager Clarence Lanpher of the New Brit ain team got in touch with the Hart ford team Sunday in an attempt to book Burritt-Knights game but re- ceived a flat turn down.
 So far this season the Burritts have won II out of 12 games, taking their last seven games by one-sided scores. Their only defeat came at the hands of the Meriden Communities who will appear here for a return game in the near future.
 Last year the Manchester team en- jcyed a brilliant season and lost only enc game. The Silk Towners have an imposing lineup this season and expect to cause the Burritts plenty of trouble. The players on the team are Dick Kerr, formerly of the Man. chester high team; Larry Maloney, former Manchester high and trade school star; James Chapman, for merly of Manchester Trade school and Bissell. 'ralkoski. Kearns, Aikten and Gustafson, well known in Man. chester semi-pro circles.
 Dick Kerr is we'll known about the state for his prowess on the basket ball court and if his teammates are in his class, the Burritts should have plenty of tr .ble copping the verdict Saturday.
 Manager Saunders will start Yaku- bowicz and Havlick at forward, Luty in center, and Carlson and Darrow ir tfe back court. Gill and Rose will be ready to enter the fray when needed. The work of "Huggy" Carl. son at guard is. creating plenty o1 comment. The former high schoo star is rapidly developing into one ol the best defensive players in the city He is being ably backed up by "Hammy" Darrow, who is sinking them regularly of late.
 The game will start promptly at o'clock.

Molly Morrison is at half- back and is a tower of strength on the defense. Eddie Barnikow. for- mer football star. and at present sec- ond in the standing among the goal tenders, will be in the cage.
 Against this array, New Britain will send in ''Kid' Williams at first rush, Cowboy Thompson at sec. ond rush, Gazzinga at center, Do- herty at halfback and Pete Welch in the goal. ....... .........
