West Sides Outplay Ohio State Court Stars
GAME ENDS ALL EVEN AS SCORING ERROR SHOWS
SpeedbOys Blow l2- Point Lead in Final
 Few Minutes

West Side Speedboys, one of Wa terbury's better basketball teams, proved conclusively that they have what it takes to compete with major opposition, as they came within an ace of defeating @ highly -geared group of seasoned Ohio State col- lege players last night at the central YMCA. Officially the game ended in a tie at 47 points apiece, though the crowd of 500 fans went home under the impression the Speedboys had defeated the Ohio State hoop stars, 48 to 47, as the scoreboard showed.
 A few minutes after both teams had left the floor, Referee John Cluney discovered a scoring error which brought the game to an all even basis. The official ordered Q five minute overtime period, as called for by the rules, and after some little time and discussion both teams agreed not to play the overtime and, at that point the game was declared a tie.
 Twelve Points Up
 Within the last five minutes of the game, a close, hardly played contest from start to finish, the Speedboys held a 12-point edge, 40 to 28, until Ken Richall, former Central high and Ohio Statep layer, now with the Danbury Guards, came to the rescue with some slick floor play and SCOT ing, aided by 6 foot 8 inch Bill Sattler, coming back to even the count again for the Ohio State lads, winners of the Big Ten title last season and runners-up this year. At this point, the scorer informed the referee that the Waterbury team was ahead, 48 to AT, though the board showed Al all. With 45 seconds to play, the Siders "froze" the ball, the game ended and after the crowd had left the building the scoring error was discovered and the overtime or dered.
 Joe Runividge, Stollar, Grey and Bradley were outstanding in the West Side play, Sattler and Richell scoring B points for the Collegians Waterbury led at half time 25 to p and went into a ten point lead be- fore the third period ended, but the college boys picked up points so fast they tied the score within three minutes.

POLL CLUB COPS
 SECOND ROUND HOOP HONORS
Winners Want Outside" Official for Title Games;
 Texans, Robins Lose

Polls well drilled basketeers copped the second round of the Washington Hill Community league last night with an unblemished rec ord by defeating Johnny Barnes Texans, 31 to 24, in one of the toughest games of the season, so rough in fact, that the theater boys will demand an outside referee for their three-game playof with the Gents of the Hill, first round cham pions.
 No PlayOffs, Maybe?
 Manager Jimmy Bianco stated after the game that if neutral of- ficial is not assigned by league of- ficials for the playoffs, there will be no playoffs as he does not want any of his boys injured. The small playing surface has been blamed for the roughhouse tactics used in most of the contests this season.
 "Wee Weenie" Zenick was the Poh sparkplug last night before his election late in the last quarter on personal fouls. He and Big Bob' Leece kept the theatermen in front with their timely goals and free shots everytime the Texans threat ened to knot the score. The loss of Bartkus by the Texans early in the third quarter was greatly felt by the Barnesmen although Katz's work underneath the irons was a treat for sore eyes.
 Not once during the entire game did the boys from Brooklyn hold the lead. At half time the Poli crew held a four point advantage.
