SHADOWS BEATEN
 BY HILLIES FIVE
 IN TITULAR GAME
BannOnA Leads ReymOnd Boys to 24-lS Win and
 Brooklyn Y Crown

The Reymond Hillies rose to dizzy heights last night at the Brooklyn Y, before one of the larg- est crowds to ever witness bas- ketball classic at the hut, to cap- ture the championship of the Brooklyn Y interclub league and register their 25th victory of the season by turning Tn a stunning victory over the Shadows "A to IS. It was stunning in more ways than one. It not only brought out the Hillies real worth when high stakes are being played for, but 1t brought the championship from Brooklyn to Washington Hill and also sent away Shadow fandom that was left groggy under the Il basket as- sault that Toby Ramon and Pete Pomponio led against last years city junior champs.
 The Hillies now lay undisputed claim to the city junior champion- ship of the city.
 Team Play Features
 Picking an outstanding indivi- 1ual in the lineup of the doughboys is too tough an assignment. The boys played as a team and worked tHo Ddll dOWh titC NodAt tiIiC etAA time again only to miss easy shots and it was not until the final period that they started to find the hoop. They swept the Shadows off their feet in the final period when they'rolled up an eight point ad- vantage and held 1t until one min ute to play when the losers tallied on a long shot, The Brooklyn team could not recover from the last period assault though it must be said the Shadows kept ever trying.
 POmponiO Great
 That great pair, Ramon and Pete Pomponio were everywhere |. They were blocking shots, breaking up the Shadows passing attack and seeped through the losers defense for shots under the hoop. Freddy Sullivan, who did not play the en- tire game being banished in the final period on personal fouls, played a great floor game and checked Capaldo, Shadows star 70 close that the hoops the latter did get were made from long range.
 Joe Pomponio and Armand Cunha did some great work on the offense and were the same thorns in the side of the Shadows as they were in the previous games played against the losers
 CapaIdo Starts It
 The Shadows were first to score when Capaldo tossed in a shot from the side court but a minute later Joe Pomponio matched it with a follow up shot. A foul by Zacks and a basket by Stankevich gave the losers a five to four ad-. vantage at the end of the first period. The second quarter opened with Bannon and Pete Pomponio tossing in baskets in quick success sion and at the termination of the second ten minutes of play the Hillies held a 12-1O advantage.
 Hacks Goes Good
 The third quarter the losers put up strong defensee and the Hillies were held to a lone foul and a pair of baskets but Capaldo gave the Shadows a 14-13 lead at the end of the third period. As the final period got under way the winners started to solve the de- fense of the Shadows and pair of baskets by Pomponio and Ramon gave the winners a six-point lead with five minutes remaining to play and a couple of minutes later Cunha tossed in another hoop but Capaldo matched it to again cut down the Hillies lead to six points which they managed to hold until the whistle blew putting finish to one of the most thrilling games seen in some time at the Brooklyn Y. Capaldo's shooting and Zacks great floor work stood out for the losers. Last nights score in detail:
