THOMASTON HIGH
 HAD GOOD SEASON
By JACK WATERS

With the completion of the state CD tournament, Thomaston High schools basketball team rang down the curtain on the 1937-38 season.
 This years team, the best in re- cent years, won fifteen out of six teen scheduled games, lost an ex- hibition game to the Rhode Island State College Freshmen and then went on to beat Darien and New Milford before losing to Bloomfield in the CD meet ill Hartford. In each of its tourney games Thomas ton failed to play its usual brand of basketball and when she was finally eliminated in the semi finals, Coach Mandy Green received such a jolt that he is going to spend a few days in Maine to recuperate.
 Terryville handed the locals their only defeat of the regular season and third game between the two would have satisfied the fans of both towns far mere than did the state tournament, and would also have been 8 financial success.
 Out of this years squad Coach Green loses six men including Co., captains Chuck" Johnson and Joe Bystry but both forwards "Scotty" Wilson and Ted Bogdanski and guard Pete Bystry will form the nucleus of next years team.
 At the close of the tournament an all-star team was selected by the officials and one of the locals, Pete Bystry was chosen for a guard position while Joe Bystry was picked as center on the second squad.

New Haven, March 16-Eddie Con- vey and Jack Markle, the 1n-Tam leagues high scoring twins, lead the Syracuse Stars in their final New Haven appearance of the season to- night. The Stars and the New Ha- ven Eagles hook up in mid-week battle that is more than a regularly scheduled game. The Eagles will be fighting to clinch the third place play-off birth in the eastern divi- sion.
 In spite of a broken finger, Teddy Graham will return to play defense for the Birds. After ten years in the big time, Graham has been the outstanding defense man in the league ever since he rounded into shape in January. In fact, Coach Billy Coutu attributes a major por- tion of the Eagles long winning streak to Graham's great work at the points.
 Goalie Paul Gauthier visited the doctor yesterday suffering from an injured hand. He may be unable to play tonight. If so, Paddy Byrnne win be summoned from Providence to work in the New Haven nets.
