After d few minutes in which the ocals became accustomed to tn II positions and to enc another the cam started to pick up speed. Llkc gigantic machine, at first barely ,urring It's wheels lut with It's rowcr and own motivation picking up speed until it becomes thunder Ing colossus on it's way, so the New Britain basketball team per formed Saturday night.
 Jerry Conway was the piston rod that kept the quintet grinding out point after point.

The Ais players fought this method of attack val. rantly but near the end Of the first half, the team start ed 10 wilt. From a lead of ! 10 c in the first four mln- utes, the Alas had siidded down tH the under side of a 2V to count at the half time whistle.

 Jimmy ZakzcWski, having suffer. cd one or two off nights in hi. shooting, Was experiencing the sad1t thing in the first haT of s'aturda- nights game. He caged one itei, basket and two fouls but misset plenty Of opportunities. In the sec ond halt. however, he reached hi: old form and he whirleI like re joicing dervish all over the floor an@ clicked in five field baskets, making Iim the high scorer of the nigh with d total Of fl points.
 Al Soman pulled the fans out O their seats with his spectacular pass ing and dribblng but these WeF' only minor things in the game com pared to his shooting. He pcprc' in siN pretty baskets, dlI from distance. One proved 10 hr ''H most spcctAcui%r shot ol the niGh' D pop from over lis mad jlr di:s tdncr Of the center of tif" floor, tha Lever even touched ru" rim.
 .Bo" Adams Fordham laai for three years. got Njs first rban" o play a full game with Nr" Brit ain during this contest and to sa that he made good. is putting ! only mildly. Probably "Bo" wa urcmaturcly celebrating tho fac that he WAS to bc married Suuda afternoon in New York or pcrhar he WAS just eNhilarat"d h,canse l. was in q regular position At an rate, he ran wild. lie raG,d five c the most spectacular >hols srrn o lhc floor this yrar aud added a io' point 10 aiy. him a total of ! points for line uj1ht.
