 Fast Preliminary
 In one of the fastest preliminary contests ever seen in Bristol. the DiXi"s. leading club of the City Bas- ketball league, nosed out the New Departure leaguers last night after three full overtime periods, by the score of 5 to A. The game was played previous to the New Depar- ture-All New Britain battle at the state armory.
 With only 50 seconds of the regular playing time left, Paul Red Mccarthy, stellar Endee guard, tossed one through the nets to tie the count at 2l-all. Joe FIem- ing scored a two pointer in the over time for the Endees but Goose" karWoski matched the shot to again knot the score Barton pushed c double decker through the hoop to send the New Departure represen- tatlves ahead in the second overtime but Ietarski of the opposing team scored field goal on a long shot and successful free stripe try to send the DiNies into the lead. Barton came through with a successful foul pop to again knot the score, and the teams went into a third extra ses- sion.
 Barton. who halls from Elmwood, dropped free try into the hoop 10 give the Endee courtsters a one point lead. This looked good when both Zetarski and Cavalieri missed i toul tries, but Johnny Cavalieri came through within the next few seconds with successful foul try to tie the score at 24 to 24. It appeared as though a fourth overtime would be necessary, but. with only about five second to play. Tony White of the Endee five fouled Cavalieri and shortly after the whistle blew. Cay- alieri. who was a bit nervous at the tune because of his being the center ot attraction. made the try and won the tilt for the DiXies. The Dixies are still heading the loop with four straight victories. The green and white team. composed mostly of 1 Bristol high school alumni, has yet to play three of the league teams. It has not Vet engaged the Eagles, sec- ond place holders.
