Red Devils
 Top Bristol, Knot League

New Haven, Jan. 17.-An ag- gressive iron-man Hull's Brewers Red Devils upset the a9plecart be- fore @ capacity crowd of 570 howl ing court fans at the West Ha- ven high school gymnasium last night as the Brewers blasted the Bristol Tranlps, 59 to 54, and moved into Q deadlock with the Tramps for first place in the Stae Basket ball League.
 Huils played the entire game with five men except for the final 30-seconds when Freddie Ferrie, who played the best game of his career and won the plaudits of the huge crowd, went out on personal fouls. It was at the foul line that the Devils clinched the game - shooting with deadly accuracy and tossing in 15 successful charity losses out of IS.
 It was a point r-point game with the locals leading il-9 at the quarter and 9 to 27 at halftime, mainly to the brilliant shooting of Tcrrie who dented the cords for i3. while his running mate - the other half of the Italian thunder ,Dolt duo - Chubby Maliniconico hit for g.
 On the other side - uncanny Joey Lynch and Johnny luke found the range for II and e-and it wasn't until Ferrie, McHugh, Slab and Maley opened both barrels in the third period that the Brewers moved out in front. But Bristol hurled the fury of its attack and whittled down Hull's nine-point lead to 44-42 as the gun sounded the end of the third canto.
 Heroes were a dime a dozen but the bulk of the credit goes to Fer rie and Maiiniconico-the scoring stars of the game. Yet two unsung lads who played their hearts out for 4e bruising minutes were Johnny Slab and little Joey St. John. Con- sanity they stopped fast breaks and nullified Bristol rallies with great pass interceptions - which in turn resulted in quick-breaks and scoring plays for the Devils.
 Lynch with IS counters. Utke l4, and Kresge with i3 paced the Tramps-but it was at the foul line that the Devils clinched the battle and moved into first place.

LAague Notes


 Behind at half time, the Jaspers fought an uphill battle and with the final second ticking away, Hex Vallone, threw long shot which knotted the score for the Jaspers and sent the game into overtime, During the overtime session, Val- lone prolonged his hero role hy sinking two field goals, while ''Mush" Solomita closed the scoring for the day by dropping in e foul shot. While this was going on, the Knaves attempts at scoring proved fruitless.
 With the defeat of the Knaves, the Boys Club Keystones moved into Q first place tie with the Brook lyn aggregation. After dropping their first two games, the JasperE clicked of four successive wins and have given notice that they are very much in the championship pie ture.
 With Joe Maloney throwing them in from ali angles, the St, Mary Midgets upset the Atomic Aces to the tune of % to 12. Maloney's con- tribution consisted of five field goals and two successful foul tries. Be- sides this scoring spree, his floor work was also outstanding. V. Genua was the losers best bet.
 The high riding Keystones. top scoring team in the league, con- tinued their high scoring habit when they easily drubbed the Middlebury Bobcats, 45 to lo. M. Leo, sharp shooting left forward, led the vic- tory parade. with l4 points on seven field goals, increasing his bid for individual scoring honOrs. The Key- stones. using two full teams, grabbed an early lead and left no doubt as to the eventual winner. Every player on the winning team had Q hand in the scoring, with Joe Ubaldi ably directing the floor strategy.
 St. Mary Midgets looked like a different team in their tugsle with the Atomic Aces. They were a great ly improved unit and found a new offensive threat in the Joe Maloney- Eddie Mara combination. E. Wall, elongated center for the Midgets. made an suspicious debut by play ing a sterling defensive game.
 The absence of ". Morgan, the Bobcats high scorer ard key man. was keenly felt as many of their offensive threats went awTy. This weeks schedule:
