the evening brought together the
Torrington Pioneers and WOOD
bury, the Pioneers ekeing out a 20

lost but displayed a desperate rally
and missed the decision by a mere
three points. During this contest
the referee, Joe Rubino called q
foul which evidently disagreed
with the excited fans, who con,
tinually "booed" when the local
player who was awarded free
70 shoot Kill
bino promptly stopped the game
snd announced to the crowd that it
would not continue unless the noise
stopped. OF course this /only in
creased. the noise and finally Joe
called a technical foul on the Tor
rington team. This stopped the
booing Immediately. The playoffs
will be staged by the remaining
teams tonight in the local armory
and a large crowd Is expected to
be on hand. Rubino and McNa-
mara refereed the contests.
