Score at half time, New Britain,
Is, Bristol 10. Referee. Ball.
New Britain Wins
New Britain's victory was as scin.
tillating at night AZ was Bristol's
win In the afternoon. The Hard
ware City quintet, completely nettled
when the afternoon game slipped
through their fingers, completely
outplayed Bristol In the first half.
In the session. Sloman and Zakzew-
ski. between them, Gagged seven field
baskets, Sloman's being OF the long
variety.
In the first three minutes OF the
second half. Cullum cut loose to
score three baskets and New Brit
aims lead OF Fl to 10 at the end
of the first playing period was cut
to 81 to 16.
Here, however. the locals again
spurted and with seven minutes to
go, led again by a sizeable score.
35 to IS.
Then Bristol started a hair-rais-
ing rally that pulled every one of
the 100 fans in the hall to his feet.
Cullum dropped In two points from
the free throw line. He followed
these with a field goal. Malcolm
swished the nets with another spec
tacular shot and the lead was cut
to four points, 35 to 81. Sloman
came to the foul line to gather in
a point for New Britain but Water
man dropped in two for Bristol and
the count was sc to 80.
With the whistle liable to blow at
any old time, Cullum again made
two free tries good and New Britain
led by one point. What a game.
At the tap off. Cullum put the ball
on long shot, square on the rim.
Like all inexplicable things. the ball
rolled around leisurely and dropped
but not through. In the meantime,
Johnny sheehan had crept to Bris-
tolls goal and quick pass was
thrown to him. He took his time
and sank the shot was only 10 sec
onds to 60. That was the end. The

ETHEL LACEIE RETIRES

Veteran OF Nations Ranking Girl
Swimmers to Follow Johnny
Wetssmu1Ier.

Chicago. Jan. 2 R-Miss Ethel
Lackie, veteran OF the nations rank
ing girl swimmers. is retiring from
amateur competition.
Following the example Of Johnnie
Weissmuller. Miss Lackie has de-
cided to forsake the amateurs for
more lucrative occupations. To-
gether with Weissmuller. Miss
I.ackie, who holds six worlds sprint
swimming records, will make her
final amateur appearance Thursday
night at the Cook county interscho-
lastic swimming championship meet.
Like Weissmuller, Miss Lackie felt
that she had been in competition q
long time and swimming for glory
only" was beginning to lose some of
its thrill.
She began her series Of sensational
swimming performances five years
ago az a member Of the Illinois Ath-
letic club. When that organization
disbanded its worren's teams she
continued her record breaking per-
formances under the colors of the
Illinois Women's Athletic club.

GRID LAURELS GO
To GEORGIA Tech
Boasts Ulbeaten, United Team
in Uncertain Season

! New York, Jan. ; (UP)-There
will be no doubts from any section
of the country as the seasons foot
ball laurels are belatedly but unre-
servedly awarded to Bill Alexander,
head coach of Georgia Techs mighty
even which defeated the Golden
Bears of California in the Rose
bowl at Pasadena on New Years
Day, to Z.
And while the bald brow of Bills
is bowed to receive the laurel wreath,
the football fates are weaving a
wreath of wild raspberries for Cap
tain-elect Roy Riesels of the beaten
team, whose dash OF rs yards toward
his own goal line paved the way for
the Tornado's victory.
Georgia Techs victory was well
earned, Captain Peter Funds men
proving themselves the greatest Of
the seasons football teams beyond
doubt. They outplayed the Bears
in game punctuated by frequent
fumbles, blocked kicks and intercept
defensive measures by the Califor-
mans kept the score as close as it
was.
Captain Phillips of California, like
Pund an all-America star of 1928,
had the honor of scoring the Bears
touchdown on forward pass in the
final quarter, after Thomason had
carried the ball over for Tech in the
third period.
Thus the football season was
brought to an end, with Intersection
a! honors passing definitely to the
south, and more specifically to
Georgia Tech and Bill Alexander. tho
modest mentor who developed an un-
beaten, united team in 4 year when
the experts said it couldn't be done.
Only two other elevens played
through the season without being
defeated or tied-Boston college and
Detroit Yet such were the Oppo-
nents of these teams that their rec
ords cannot justly be compared with
that OF Georgia Tech.
The Golden Tornado, with Lump
kin, Mizcll, Thomson, Pund, Dren-
non. Speers, Waddey and Jones. all
but one of whom played throughout
the season and helped In the smash
ing victory which conquered the
pride of California and the coast,
represents perhaps the greatest
eleven ever developed south of the
Mason Dixon line
The football genius of Bill Alex
ander. the man who developed these
players. must in all fairness receive
first honors. Captain pund proved
his a,l-America greatness, and War
ner played the best game of his spec
tacular career, but in the final analy-
sis of this Tech teams greatness 1t IS
the coach who comes first.
A trying schedule in the south.
followed by an epidemic of mild In
flucnza and the trying trip to the far
coast could not dim the lustre of the
Golden Tornado, which blew tri-
umphantly from the opening whistle
OF 1928 until the last post-season
piping of the new year.

DOUBLE VICTORY
Local Basketball Team Takes
Both Ends Of Twin Bill

team when 1t scored a double VIC
tory, over the Bristol Dixies In the
afternoon and evening preliminaries
to the New Britain Bristol games
yesterday. The scores were SO to -

Afternoon Came
The Bristol outfit which played in
the afternoon contest was q group
of short stocky players who were at
disadvantage against such rangy
players as Saunders and Luty.
The New Britain team apparently
didn't take the Bristol team serious
ly and for nine minutes the Bell
City quintet held the upper hand.
At the nine-minute mark the score
was tied at Tall on a basket by
Saunders and from then until the
Saunders and Yaku-
bowicz. carried it on to one-sided
victory. Saunders suffered a knee
injury and had to be helped of the
floor. His team finished with four
men in the last three minutes.
Bristol put up good battle des-
pite the disadvantage OF size. Cap
tain Zetarski's floor work was one
Of the features of the game. He
was constantly slipping through and
gaining possession of the ball for
his team.
