I've lassoed him up tight

Jan sat down on the edge of

BY YIN MALONEY

At one of the busiest and most liked gymns in the city last night the Boys club Warriors and the River A. c. from Torrington played bang up game. This Torrington team was very fast outfit and in the first five minutes of play 1t out played the Warriors completely But after this Al Damelio and Jackie Rosa, former Wilby star, went to town in a very much faster way These Warriors are certainly in my opinion a very top notch team and they deserved all the breaks because they certainly earned them.
 But the Rivers are not team to underestimated because they have an excellent player in John Cantadone who made IT points. I believe that in the return match this team will put up a much better fight. The final score of this game was Rivers 31 to the Warriors 45. The very able and square-shooting referee was Vinny Innaccone.
 In the last part of this article want to talk about the question of referees. Here are the winners of the first round of the Intermediate B league. They are as follows:

State League Leaders Drop Rough Contest to
 Hartford Last Night

Hartford, Jan. 8-Lanky Joe Noce was local boy who made good last night, the former Bulkeley High ace sparkling the rejuvenatcd and pol- ished Savitt Gems to a thrilling up- set victory over the Bridgeport Springwodos, State League leaders, A to 8, before 800 fans at the Hop- kins street gym.
 Noce entered the game in the sec- ond period in time to keep the Gems in the middle of hot scrap for the lead and in the second half carried the fight to the group of high school stars from the Park City as the Hartford outfi drove through to Its sweetest triumph of the campaign.
 Four other regulars, one playing here for the first time, were out standing in the victory for Coach George ,Stavnitsky's charges. Ike Eikenberrv scored 10 points, Ike Cole threw in nine at opportune moments and Bob Barton, a former OhrbachS player from New York who was orough up by Leo Gottlieb in place of Marty Scheinkman, performed brilliantly on defense, especially shining in taking rebounds off the defensive board, even though he scored only one point. Gottlie5 starred as usual.
 It was nip and tuck fast and pretty rough contest all the way al- though the Gems finally pulled away in the last three minutes.
 The Srringwoods had a little the better of the going until the fourth period when they blew a number of foul tries that permitted the Gems to capitalize no fast breaks.
 Jackie Bowden, the leagues high est scorer, again paced the classy Springwoods with 10 joints but Gottlieb did a pretty godo job of bottling him up in the clutch and veteran Norm Ritchel was the noly other visitor who had much success.
 Eikenberry's dazzling play kept the Gems in the race in the first half and Noce did the trick down a home stretch that bristled with &C., tion

But these results are only the standings of the first round and l think before the league ends the whole picture will be changed. Be- cause the Spades have a very fast team and I think they will give the Robins some very fast competition. This is the picture in the B league as it stands now. But Friday night at 6:30 the second round of the fight begins.
 Why don't the referees want to referee at the Boys club? Well, the answer is that if the referee calls a decision against your team he is nearly mobbed. This should not be SO, because the referee is the official duly chosen by both teams and he should be treated with respect. And any team that starts trouble with an official is not fit to play another decent team. The referee might not be big league, but neither are these teams,

Quinn Can't See Baseball Movies

Boston, Jan. 3.-(UP)-President Bob Quinn of the Boston Braves, a baseball veteran of more than 40 years experience, believes that motion pictures such as those filmed by the Nationally and American league have little teaching value.
 Its not exactly fresh, new idea teaching big leaguers to do the right thing by movies he said yesterday. When Jimmy Wilson was manager of the Phils he used just that method. Of course, Will son didn't have the very best of material to work on with the Phils. :"
 If young players can't get the right way of doing things when it's dem- onstrated to them right there on the field, he said, T can't see how movies will help much"
