BROOKLYN'S ST. JOES, BLESSED
 SACRAMENTS'|N TN
Local Hoop Rivals to Set. tie Intermediate Title
 Tonight

The Brooklyn St. Joseph Holy quintet and the West Side Blessed Sacraments will meet tonight ct 800 o'clock in the championship contest of the Naugatuck Valley 1ntreme- diate Tournament at the Boys Club. In the last evenings seini-final con- tests the Holy Names had too much power for the hard working Vols and came through with a 31 to 20 decision. Tn the other game the Blessed Sacraments won over the Brooklyn Y Clowns 42 to 25.
 The Vols jumped of to an 6 to 1 lead in the first quarter when Scott, 1anniconne, Fisher mad Larn- berti each made good on Q chance at the hoop. Katz and Anausleas converted to keep the St. Joes' in the game at this early point. The H. Ms took the offensive in the second period and kept the Vols so busy defending their zone that they didn't have time for scoring while Katz and Valunas were doing right by the St. Joe's and giving them a l2 to 8 lead at the interval. In the third session, the Holy Name team kept blowing right along and with hefy MT. KatS pouring them in from under the hoop and Poplis tossing in a few that practically assured the Brooklyn outfit of berth in the finals. The final session proved to be an even bout with both teams connecting three times from the floor. Lazar Ianndcone played the best game for the Vols leading them both on the offense and defense. Art Fisher was successfully bottled up by the bigger St. Joes although he did manage to get lose now and then only to miss the conversion. The final score was 31 to 20 in favor of the St. Joseph Holy Name.
 Easy Win
 In the final contest last night the Blessed Sacrament team from the West Side had too much ability for the plucky Brooklyn Y Clowns and did not have too much difficulty running up an 8 to s lead at the quarter, 22 to 10 at the half, 30 to IS at the third period and 42 to 25 at the final whistle. Buddy Kalosky played 6 lot of ball for the winners last night and as good as he was he was closely pursued for honors by Overton, Perriello and Belanger. Yarnell, Fasawelli and Turro played inspired ball for the Clowns but the West Side outflt was too hot last night and entered to- nights final by the margin of 42 to %.
 The St. Joseph team must be con- sidered the favorite by e close score in tonight's battle but an inspired West Side quintet will make 1t close all the way and with a little Irish luck almost anything can happen. Tn @ 2 o'clock preliminary the Vik- irigs will play the Y Centrals. The scores were.
