the score of 36 to 2‘. Many Norwaik
fans are of the opinion that the . 4

Danbury the verdict. Early in the

If this basket had been allowed the
score would have been tied at the final
whistle. 9
The local High school fleshed an
attack that swept the Denbury team
of! their feet in the first perlor. For
the first ten minutes' of play Danbury
led. but then Captain Frank et sl. got
Eping. and piled up point after point.
The shooting of Frank, and Holmes
bordered on the remarkable. Holmes
caged a long shot from below the
center line which brou.lrt down the
house. Danbury used a five-man de-
fense which was hard to penetrate.
thus making the Nor-walk team resort
to long shots. If Captain Frank could
have kept up his unerring work at the
foul line. Coach Ciliford’s lads would
have merged winners. Frank got 4
'out of 11 tries at fouls. while Holmes
got 8 out of 5. and Bkidd 1 out of 3.
It seemed like poor judgment. the
change of the foul shooters. Captain
Frank had hardly got his eye on tho
basket when Holmes was instructed to
'shoot them. After "Irv" had missed
a couple Skidd was ordered. to shbot
the fouls. None of the above men had
time to get their eye on the basket
before somebody else was ordered to
shoot fouls. Norwalk led throughout
most of the second half. but in the
last 6 minutes’ of play the whole Dan-
bury team seemed to let out and play
faster. and McLachlan. a Norwalk and
Bell Island boy in the summer. tossed
in the winning basket for Danbury.
After ten minutes’ of the seam! half
had been played Fineson was put out
of the game for foul personal fours.
This weakened the Norwalk team con-
siderably as "Macy” is a tower of
' strength both on the offense and de“
fense. Frank and Holmes were the
satellites of the West avenue lads.
Holmes getting four goals and 1 fouls
for a total of 11 points. and Frank
getting 3 goals and 4 fouls for a total
of 10 points. Skidd and Meiamed
played good guarding games. Skidd
held the flashy “Bob" Quinlan to 4
goals. all of which were made in the
first half. It was the work of a. sec-
ong string man who won the game for
Danbury. Anderson was put in at
center in the second half for the up-
staters, and he secured 2 goals and 6
fouls for a. total of 10 points.
