 After losing it's opening game Of the i season 10 the New Britain Trade
 school five the local team came back
 strongly and proved it's real worth
 by capturing the title in the western
 conference. It also avenged it's
 initial defeat by wallopinc the Trade i school team on the local floor.
 1 The leading light of the team is
 King, sensational forward. whose
 floor work and deadly shooting has
 been the feature all season. He has
 been ably backed by kowaleski, who
 also possesses a keen eye. The work of Wegner in center has been beau
 tiful all year. His ability to get the jump has given the forwards pos 1 session of the bal, time after time and has given the players chance to get started on the tap. Wcgner 1 IS dangerous man under the bas- l llct because Of his long reach. Plain | Nillc's chances in the tournament will depend largely on him. The guards, Berry and Minella, are en- | loving great year and opposing 1 forwards find them a veritable stone 1 wall. They also are strong men on 1 the offensive. The team boasts of a | strong set of substitutes
 | Considerable praise must be given ! 10 Coach Tomas Caulfeld. who took the men in hand when they were
 green and inexperienced and mold 1 cd them into one of the best teams ! in the state. The people Of 1he town
 arc strongly behind the team and
