.HANDBALLERS WIN FROM WATERBURY
New Britain ' Teams Swamp
 Brass City Combinations

New Britain handballers swamped Waterbury teams last night at thr local "Y' winning six matches and losing one. Mag-IlaW WIlins team was extended in the first two but won the third easily.
 Watcrbury's first team composed or Howard late of Wesleyan, and Hollaway noted baseball player gave tho Mag Hawkins team many un- pleasant moments last night.
 Waterbury won the first gamo 2l-l6 and trailing in the second game l2 to 70 when Hawkins served I3 impossible gets. grittod their teeth and forced the issue by terrific serving and kill shots 10 tic the score 10 70 all.
 On the next serve Howard 10 Hawkins, Charlie shot return back to Howard which struck the june ilon of the floor and sideWall for an impossible get, q lucky break for the local team. On their very next serve iv garncrcd the deciding point for the game making it one and one.
 
 Tho deciding game went 10 Now Britain rather easily 2l-6, as th" Brass City players gave all they had and were pretty tired after the sec Ond game.
 Another celebrity in the Water bury lineup last night was Cutler, former Yale star football end, and by the way with his 190 pounds of good solid muscle tissue he can un- mercifully whale the little rubber ball for ungettabc kill shots.

scorer. In the meantime Mercy and Garro will be called upon for their defensive qualities because the Screw Shop guards arc very dan gerous scorers.
 Darby" CoraZzo and Nick Gill will be defending their goal against tho onslaguht of Andy Yakubowicz and Joe Luke. In tho center posi- ton Johnny kley and Joe Luty will battle. In the previous meeting both men scored 8 field goal but kley added four foul shots to give him q scoring edge over his rival. The card which will be present. cd by the Y. M. C, A. Industrial Council is exactly the samo as that which was presented on December 27. When the Gascos and P. &o r. Corbln teams met, the P. & r. five won 2 to 21 and l'afnirs defeated the Stanley Works, 30 to 25. Since that time the losers have been go- ns stronger than the winners and FTcVenGc may be gained in each case. Danny Ahern, who is making a popular hit as an industrial league referee, will be the 11th man on
 the floor. This is hard assignment but those who have been watching him this year are confident that he will do the job honestly and fairly. Secretary Bryce Long is negotiat- ing for a second referee so that the double official system will be tried for the first time this year. He had not been able to definitely sign the
 second official this morning, but it
 is expected that by game time one | will be procured.
New Britain herald., 1930-02-21

The deadlock in which the stan 1 Icy Rule and Corbin Screw basket ball teams have found themselves for several weeks in fhe Industrial
 League will be definitely broken to-
 night when the two will fight 1t out.
 This contest is undoubtedly the most
 important of the present season and
 the interest among the industrial
 gentry is at fever pitch.
 Tho game will start shortly after
 S:30 o'clock, it being the second
 contest of a three game program
 The entire card 10 be presented to-
 night is a good one. Six of the first
 seven teams in the league race will
 play. Corbin Screw and Stanley Rule
 are tied for first place. Stanley
 Works quintet is next and it plays the Fafnir team which is tied with the Gascos for fifth place. The Gas cos and P. X F. Corbin teams open | the nights activities. P X r. Corbin l is in back of the Gascos and Fafnir combines
 i A victory for either the Stanley 1 Rule or Corbn Screw teams to- night will put the Russwin teams | definitely out of the running for the i Industrial League title. Since one of these two teams must win the r.. & | r.. quintet has no chance and is merely awaiting its ordeal. Stanley Works, the only other team that has ] .I, lz1 ,.i, l., Rule or Corbin Screw for the pen nant, will have 10 win tonight 10 stay in the race. A loss will be the sixth suffered by Coach Grobsten E men and even though they won all the rest Of their games while the leaders were losing their contests
 Stanley Works could not take the 1 league cup.
 | Close students of the league be- 1 licvc this is the turning point for ! the leaders. Both Stanley Rule and 1 Corbin Screw have been in a dead lock during the greater part Of the season. Stanley Rule lost 20 to 17 when the two teams met on DeCcm- Der 27. The Rulers other loss was 10 the Gascos. Corbin Screw lost to fellow members of the American Hardware family, r. G5 r. Corbin and Russwin. Defeats suffered by each team were by close margins and 1 in each case followers claim their favoritcs should have been victor ious.
 In the last meeting Of the Rulers and Corbinites. Wilton Mercy sccm- | cd to be the only Rule Shop player
 who could find the hoop with great success. He made three tield~goals Andy YakuboWitZ of the Corbin team made four and these two players
 outshone their rivals in this respect They are considered two of the best i forwards in the league.
 Hank" Arburr. captain and
 coach of the Corbin Screw team
 will probably match his wits against
 Mercy, who is one of the big scorers i in the league. Darrow, another stel- l lar guard in the uniform of the Cor 1 tin team. will be called upon to 1 hold GJrro, who is also a heavy

 Dame Fortune smiled sWcctly on the New Britain Partners in their game with tho Albany Roller Hockey club at tho Stanley arena last night and Now Britain added another victory to its list in the standing by the score of 5 10 7. It is generally admitted that the New Britain team carried q bag of horse shoes in the contest because in all but the first period. the Albany team outskated and outplaycd the locals.
 The final lucky break for New Britain came in tho last period when, with the score to | in favor of New Britain, Albahy had an in and out goal. This would have tied the count and the teams would have had to go into an overtime pc riod. Jctto, however, kicked the ball away into safe zone and no fur ther scoring was done.
 New Britain was playing with practically a four-man team. Duke" Dufrcsne discovered just before the game began that one Of the plates on his skate was broken. When he put his foot on the floor, his rollers didn't touch. He was standing on a screw that holds the front rollers in place and he was unable to move all during the game. Attempts 10 fix the skate were use less and he was helpless on the floor.
 Tho other four men, however, worked like Trojans. Kid" Will liams and Wild BilI' Dugan kept up a terrific pace all night and they managed to get enough goals past Pete Welch 10 win ont. Williams caged five counters while DuGgan got three. The two forwards worked nicely together. Donnelly played a whale Of a game on the defense while Jctte amassed q total of G3 stops for the night.
 The Albany team threatened al every stage of the game. seldom have fans here seen such speedy s2Ndllllz iE N 'tN tNIllbll ''i fH ttIt ' lf7- itors last night. The ball was roll ing with them for q good part of the time and they kept thc New Britain team travelling at top speed all during the game.
 Albany had q , To . edge at the end Of the first period. New Brit ain succeeded in tying the count at 5-all at half time. Again. at the end of the third period, the score was 7-all. Then Williams gave Duggan a pretty pass for the only goal made in the fourth and last frame and New Britain was the victor.
