C9I9a8none and KeGeIejZ2 on
 Injured List Today

Disaster again bofeu the Boys club in Hartford last night when t lost an 1S-12 decision to the Trinity College Junior Varsity in a slow
 basketball game played in the Hop kins street gym. The old injury jinX cropped up again when "E"d" Com pagnonc, who hurt his shoulder on
 Monday night, was unamo 10 start the game and Captain Tony Kernlc-
 tza turned his ankle and finished the gamo in severe pain.
 Under these circumstances tn" To- cals made q rather sorry showing, the coll"giaus leading hy 7-i at tr. half and increasing their lead as tho oud drew near. Colmo and Meier featured for the winners and Gonu for New Britain, but neither team was able to break through tho oth- cr's defense with any regularity
 The injuries made the outlook for inc big game with Boston on Mon day night rather discouragiug, but Compaguonc was to have his rhOul- der and arm "bakcd ouJ' today in an effort 10 put ii in shape once moro and it wus believed that Kcrc- lojza's injury would be Of only il passing nature. With that in mind, followers of the club were recalling that the locals had always played their best basketball Of the season against the Hub aggregation and were expecting tho Audorsonmou 10 snap out of the slough and come through with flying colors on Mon day night.
