Mrs. Dumart was quoted as say

that Dumart must report for his
medical examination within five

Dumart, playing with his fellow
townsmen, Milt Schmidt and Bobby

The Bridgeport five, up to this
time, leads the Valley circuit with
record of four wins and no de-

season with a smashing 1923 vic
tory over Torrington, but was
pressed to take over Naugatuck 40

Wildly 1923 and followed this up
with a victory over the Ansonia
high schoolers down at the Copper

The Park City team is showing
the same squad of veterans as last
year and will be out to try and
make 1t five straight in taking on
the seasoned hoopsters of Coach

posts will be Captain Bill Hugya,

At the Bunker Hill gym yester-
day afternoon I saw bang-up
game between Bunker Hill and
Kingsbury. During the first half
Bunker Hill played far below par
by falling all over the place, with
the score at the half being 7 to 4.
But in the second half, Jim Latimer
played very commendable game,
making points. But it was easy to
notice that Reardon played far be-
low par against this strong Bunker
Hill team.
In this game, Mccarthy of Bun
ker Hill and Reardon of Kingsbury
were both ousted from the game in
the last half for fouls. This casts
a very bad shadow on both teams.
I think that If Bunker Hill would
develop few plays and a little
more speed they could beat Kings
bury in a return game.
For Kingsbury, Bender and
Johnson played a very fine game
While on Bunker Hill, Reading and
Mccarthy were co-stars with Jim
Latimer. The referee was Courtney
and timekeeper was Harder. These
young players played much better
game than Wildly has played all
season with the exception of the
Naugy game. This is the first de-
feat of the season for Bunker Hill
and if she can win the rest Of her
games. she will have attained a
very impressive record under the
coaching of Bob Hennie and Jim
Girch.
