with the Rambler team of Bridgeport
winning by the score of 56-14. In the
Mon Sep-
arates defeated the Butchers of this}
semi-final game the Red

ilrst game of the evening by the score
of 11-9
The main game was a wnlkover. for
the Red Men Big Five, who
played
better last night than at any time this
30330“.
The local team took the end
right at the start of the game and on~
tinned to pile up the score as the game
went on. During the latter part of the
game the Bridgeport team would not
play basketball. and stalled through-
out the contest.
At one time Referee
(‘hsrllo Mahoncy had to stop the game
while he and Manager
ML-Garrio
warned the Bridgeport team. that it
they did not get in and play, that the
game would he stopped.
the team did not play its best.
Even then
It is’
safe to say that this team will not be
booked by any of the local basketballg
teams again.
At the crui of the first half of the
game the lied Men were leading byllllackman. if
the score of 25:5. During the SQCOlld;ClanCY' c _

that they have displayed this season.

fast rntc of speed to defeat them.
Benny Mason. the speedy littzc.
guard of the local team. was the lead-
ing scorer for the Rcd Men.
. in ten baskets for a total of :0 points.
Clancy and Court each tossed in six
baskets.
It is safe to say that no playcr on
the llnmlllcrs slurred or even tried to
star. lClllllc Schinc, who is one of the
best basketball players in this section.
was the worst offender. lie would not
play and did all in his power to keep
the other players from playing. The
fans who attended the game did not
approve of this sort of thing.
The game. betwncn the Red Men
Separates was the most even and
hardest fought game of the evening.
The Butchers brought up some of tho
best players in the city. and save the
Heparatcs quite a surprise with their
speedy floor work. During the greater
part of the first half of the game the
Butchers were in the lead. Toward
the end of the first period of the game
the Separates put on an extra burst
of speed and took the lead and wero
never behind during the remainder of
the contest. The score at the end of
the first half was 18-15 in favor of the
Separates.
Russ Smith was the leading scorer
for the Separates. with four baskets
and one foul soul. He also played a.
i‘lne tloor game and broke up many of
tho Butchers' plays with his speedy
work. Cm‘nnnugh also played aflne
some for the Separates and made four
baskets.
Tommy Ireland was the outstanding
star for the Butchers. This lad had his
eye on the basket and tossed in three
ticld goals and two foul goals for a
total of eight points. Christiano at
Center also played a good game for
the meat carvers. Manager McGarrio
stated after the game last night than
he Would book the Butchers for a re~
turn game later in the season.
The W'anoma. Girls flashed some
good basketball in the preliminary
game which seemed to dazzle the
Rambler. Girls of Bridgeport. The
locals gained at an early lead in the
same and at the end of the first his”.
or the contest were leading by the
score of 6—3. Near the end of the
game the Park City lassles put on an
extra burst of speed and came near
overtaking the local girls. Both teams
were fighting hard as the final whistle
blew.
Miss Jennie Bodwell was the out-
standing star for the Wanoma lassies.
She tossed in two baskets. both of
which were very fine shots. Miss J.
Backs also had her eye on the basket
and scored one field goal and two
fouls. Miss Fisher was the only other
player on the loosl team to score.
Miss Woodstock. the center. was the
star for the Bridgeport girls. She was
their leading scorer with a total of five
points. Misses Smith and Walsh were
the other two players to score for the
Waiting team. .
Charlie Mahoney acted as referee in
all of the games in a fine manners His
work was well received by both the.
players and the fans. After the games

PLAY HARTFORD
on Saturday afternoon. Mulch I".
the basketball It'ilm or the Center
stack up
[Junior High School win
against the strong Brown School team.
of Hartford. This game will be play-
ed at the Armory.
In a game played between these two
teams earlier in the season the Brown
team defeated the. local school. That
game was on cor the best games of the
season played by the local. team. and
record crowd was on hand to witness
the contest.
During the past few weeks the team
has been putting in some hard prac-
tice under the watchful eye of Coach
McMurrny and he is sure that his boys
will take the measure of the Hartford
team on that date.
The team demonstrated in their
game with the Gilbert and llenneit
School. inst Saturday. that they are
in tip top form. in the last half of
this game they scorcd at the rnl‘ of
five points per minute. which is going
some. This was the. first game that
the team playcd on the Jefferson
School court. and brought out the. fact
that they play just as good on a
strange court as they do at the Town
Assembly hall.
It is expected that. a record crowd
‘with the Brown School tczlm. "l‘hc.
students of the school are planning
many new features in tho cheering
line. for that day.
Calf Pasture
Life Guards Lose
The Calif Pasture Life Guard basket-
ball team traveled to Danbury last
night, where they were defeated by
the Resolut five of that city by the
score of 47-13.
The game was played on the small
court at the First Congregational
church and under amateur, rules. None
of the players on the local team have
been used to playing under amateur
rules and were greatly handicapped
last night.
Targett was the outstanding star for
the Danbury team. He tossed in six
field goals for a. total‘ or 12 points.
Hanson. Hopkins, Taylor and Schoen-
fleld each made four field goals. The.
Resolute's team work was fine. and
they seemed to baffle the local team
with their speedy floor work.
Louis Canevari and Wicke were the
leading scorers for the Life Guards.
Each of these players tossed in two
field goals and one foul goal for a. total
of five points. “'illiam Gustatson
scored the other three points for the
Guards.
The trip to the IIatting town was
made by automobile. A small delega-
tinn of fans accompanied the team on
a
the trip. The score of the game fol-
