Dribbling up the floor in the last three seconds of a hair-raising bas- ketball encounter between the Boys club and the Jew Haven Evening High school teams here last night. Friend, skyscraper center of the visiting team, took one last despair ing shot from mid-floor and the ball went cleanly through the hoop for a spectacular basket which gave the Elm City team a 27-26 win in a thrilling a finish as any game play ed in the city this year has produced or could produce. The New Haven team scored two baskets in the fianl looked like a Boys club victory. The game was a terrific and exciting one all the way, and the best crowd of the season howled continually as first one team and then the other sprinted out into the lead for few minutes, only to be caught and pass ed as the other rallied.

The first quar- ter was slow as far as scoring went, Friend opened the scoring with a follow-up shot, Grusha throwing one over his head, and Paluch making 1t 3-2 on a double foul. Hart and Friend pushed the visitors out 10 I S-5 as the second period drew to an end, but suddenly Grusha sank a goal, Zembrowski dribbled through the entire New Haven defense to make it 9-S. New Britain, and Grusha counted on the one-tWo play. The latter went out on fouls an instant later, however, and A. Bosse made it 11-9 by putting in the awarded toss just before the half ended.
 F. Bosse flashed three baskets ln succession to open the third quar- ter, but Zembrowski made a long goal, Compagnone made good a fohl and "Zem" came through again with a heave from the very center of the court, giving New Britain a 16-15 margin.
