Playing independently, the New Britain High school basketball team defeated the strong Troy Conference Academy in a game staged at Poult- rey, Vt, Saturday. Before a deci sion could be reached, the game was thrown into an overtime period and ended in one of the most thrilling finishes seen in the northern climes this season. The final count was City quintet.
 With New Britain trailing by ono point in the last two minutes, it looked like a certain defeat for the Cassidymen. However, a foul shot tied the count at 23-all and both teams held each other until the final whistle ended the regulation period.
 In the overtime session, baskets by Schmarr and Franks, put the locals in the lead. One of the most bitter minute court struggles on record at Poutncy, followed but New Britain the winner by a four-point margin.
 Hermy Schmarr and Franks were outstanding for the winning team. This pair came through with baS- kets and points when they were most needed. Franks did an especially excellent job on the defense when he held Phelps, Troy Conference Academy star, to a lone foul point daring the entire game. Jackson starred for the losers.
 Displaying great power all through the contest, New Britain put itself or record as being worthy of the stiffest kind of competition this sea son. The team worked smoothly and uncorked plenty of speed throughout the five periods.

New Britain herald., 1930-03-31

game, won by the Meridcn crowd, was not run off until l2:S0 o'clock Sunday morning, much too late for a team that had already participated in quartet of games. Local court officials termed the program of play as "unreasonable" and contended that the officials must have been absolutely nuts to allow young basketball players to play so often in the same day.
 The attendance at the games was terrible and figures did not reach the anticipated mark. It was sug- gested by officials here that the tournament be operated in a nearby city next year, probably Hartford, q place within the reach of all and the capital city of the state. There are several spacious halls in Hartford and q greater number of fans from this section, the part of the state from which the most teams come, would be present. It would also be a wonderful idea, officials relate, to stretch the schedule over two or three days instead of one.

CANAD|ENS BEAT
 NEW YORK RANGERS
Montreal to Oppose Boston for
 Ice Hockey Championship

New York, March 51 R}-For the first time since 1925, when they lost to Victoria, B. C., Les Canadiens Of Montreal are finalists in the strug- gle for the Stanley cup, emblem Of the worlds professional hockey championship. And the New York Rangers, finalists for the past two seasons arc out of the race.
 The Canadiens gained the honor last night with stirring triumph over the Rangers, to 0, in the sec- ond game of their series and now will meet the Boston Bruins, pres ent holders of the trophy, in three game final series. Previously the Canadiens had defeated the Rangers, to 1. in Fridays record breaking overtime struggle at Montreal.
 The final series is due to open at Boston next Tuesday. The second game will be played in Monteral Thursday night and the third, if necessary, in Boston Saturday.
 Speed and more speed, the key note of every Canadien team, com- bined with an alright defense, brought the victory for the Ely ing Frenchmen' The Rangers, fighting a gallant battle from start tc finish, found every attack broken up as the big Canadien defense men drove into their formations and the Montreal forwards an1 outskated them so thoroughly that they could go down with the puck for a shot and still check back oil he Ranger returns, and behind this defense was Goalie George Hains- worth, doing his task in perfect form and as coolly as if it were only bit of practice.
 Two overtime games of record duration last week apparently had not slowed the Canadien players at ! all while the Rangers, somewhat battered at the outset of the play offs, seemed off form after Fridays i two-hour struggle.
 Both of the goals came in the opening period, only minute 1 apart. And both were due in par, | to the playing of Nick Wasnic, wh was made the goat" of the first game of the series. After about l 1 minutes of play. Leo Reise, Ran. ger defense man, was penalizei and Wasnie and Bert McCaffres took advantage of the opening tc score. McCaffrey put perfect pass on Wasnie's stick and the wingmar had little trouble in shooting the 1 goal. A minute later, Wasnie push ed a pass out of scrimmage to Pete Lepine, who lifted the puck neatl, over Goalie Roach's shoulder.
 Throughout the remainder of tho game, the Rangers struggled i, vain while the Canadiens, led b, the untiring Howie Morenz. foun, their besth defenxa in a good attacl and threatened more often tha. the New Workers to score.
