Basketball finals--listed for boards because of snowstorm-- Saturday night, but forced off the will be staged at the Arena to- night, with Bristol facing Windham in the Glass A title game and Branford meeting Manchester Trade in the Glass B final. The first game will start at 8 p. m.
 Both Bristol and Windham are undefeated, with the former slight favorite to cop the title. Both qutntets were seeded, and have have made but two appearances in the tourney thus far.
 Windham and Bristol will rep- resent Connecticut in the New Eng land Interscholastic games ut Man- chester, N. H., next week.
 The Maroons from the Bell City have been the class of the tourna- rflent thus far, but there were those who liked the smooth working five from Willimantic.
 Should Joe Seretny have "hot night" the charges of Tommy MoHonau are BolHB to pc III TOT a busy evening. Windham has a smooth passing club and should be able to penetrate Bristols zone de- fense.
 The Maroons from Bristol have powerful starting array. with Lowicki, Utke, Lynch, Sonstrosm and Iebrowski making up the first five.
 Looks Good
 The Glass B final should probide plenty in the line of excitement plenty in the line of excitement. Johnny Knecht's scrappy Branford Hornets face a taller club in Man. chester Trade, but what they lack in height they make up in speed and aggresiveness.
 Branford has been the most col- orful club ifl the Glass B games. and when 1t takes the floor against the upstaters tonight, should produce some fine basketball from the viewpoint of set plays and fast breaking against Q taller and hef- tier team.
