Fighting hard battle against the

Fighting a hard battle against the Cleveland Rosemblums, worlds basketball champions. the New Britain quintet, Connccticut's out standing court combination. was just topped at the Stanley Arena Satur- day night in the greatest exhibition of the season. The final score was - 10 23 in favor of the visitors.
 After one of the hardest and closest first halves on record in this city, New Britain tied the score in the final seconds and the count at half time was 10-an. Barry and Husta pulled some spectacular shots from the floor in the second half. Barry in the opening minutes and HuSta as the game was drawing to d close, and these alone gave CleNc- land a victory while it appeared that New Britain was destined to knock the champions off.
 Close shots don't count in q bas- ketball game, but had half of the pops sent up to the rim by Sloman, Collins and Richtmycr gone through the hoop. Cleveland would have been dccsively beaten. As it was, the champions were extended to the limit to win. Barry, crack forward of the team and one of the stars of the now dcfunct New York Ccltics. is authority for the state ment that the game against New Britain Saturday night was the toughest battle that Cleveland has had all season outside Of the American league.
 Jimmy Collins had the task of playing 'Dntch' Dehnert. leading exponent of the pivot play at the foul line in the country. Dehnert caged only two baskets during the night while Collins kept him so badly bothered that it was only with difficulty that the team was able to play it's regular game. All Of CleVcland's' plays rovolre around Dehnert who takes the ball with his back to the basket. passes in and out as his mates cut for shots and himself turns. sometimes. 10 heavc in points when they are need cd the most.
 New Britain didn't show the finish that the Cleveland team dis played. but reverse the positions, with Now Britain playing an average of five or six games q week, and the local team might have been much more superior than Cleveland was Saturday night, This is written with the full understanding that Lapchicll. elongated center for Cleveland, was not present in the game.
 Tom Lcary was set against Shur nick, red headed flash of the visit ing quintet and he did an excellent job. He held Shurnick to one foul point during the night. Only for the almost impossible shots by both Barry and 1lusta in the second half, New Britain would have been far in front.
