BOROUGH 5 LOOMS IN WILBY'S PATH
 TO STATE TITLE
Commercial Team Has Bristol, Manchester to Conquer Before Meeting Borough Rival in Yale Hoop Tournament

What effect the decision or Prtn- cipal Joseph P. Kennedy to keep Wilby out of the Newport tourna- ment, will have on their opening game in the Yale tournament should be known about o'clock this after noon. Anticipating a successful splurge in the Yale play at New Haven Arena the Lee lads were "all popped up" with the prospects of going to Newport to try for the New England title. Last night, however. they felt very different and were visibly disappointed when the decis- ion was made that they would not go. However, 1t was the logical and most beneficial step to be taken and MT Kennedy immediately realized the situation and acted accordingly.
 Should Beat Bristol. This afternoon, at 4:15 o'clock Wilby was scheduled to meet the reputedly strong Bristol High aggre- gation in the second game of the tournament for the state high school championship. The locals chances against Tommy Monahan's club from the Bell City are decidedly good. everything being normal, but should the Spectre of Disillusionment creep into the Wilby plays, the boys from Grove street will probably be home in time for supper this evening. Will by has proven one of the strongest clubs in the state when Ion the game' but there have been nights that have been nightmares to the conservative commercial coach.
 A Little Figuring.
 A victory over Bristol will pair Wilby with Manchester in all prob- ability in tomorrow afternoons s semi-final games, as the veterans coached by Wilfred Chubby" Clarke are decided favorite to take Hill house in the opening tourney game. Commercial will probably beat West Haven and then be promptly elim- mated by Naugatuck, who should send Lyman Hall of Wallingford home tonight. Which makes 1t look very much like Naugatuck and Wilby In the finals, if the Green and White can hurdle the Manchester men, which will be no easy task.
