crowd when an aggressive, we'll

outscored the North End Thomas
Club 34-26 in a basketball battle
that was interesting right up to the
final whistle. In the other tilt, in
which the sturdy old dope-bucket
was kicked Off balance but not
over, the Sacred Hearts dropped a
35-32 decision to the Naugatuck
Emeralds, who came from behind
q 1919 count at half time. The
major shock of league competition
is expected to take place tonight
when the managers meet to de-
eide who is who at the end of the
first round play, which ended yes

their lead to 21-15 with but ten
