Both of the Red Men basketball
teams scored hard fought victories
last evening at Red Men’s hall. In the
main game of the evening the Red
' Non Big Five defeated the Danbury
team in the second game of their
series by the score of 24-21. In the
preliminary game the Red Men Sep-
arates won a. nip and tuck victory over
the Y. M. H. A. Separates of Bridge-
port. The score of this game was
18-16.
The main game was hard fought
fmm start to finish and was either
team's game up until the final whistle
blew. Both teams started off with a
rush. and the fans witnessed some fast
basketball during the contest. At the
end of the first half of the game the
local team was leading by the score of
13-8. During the second period of the
game the Hatters fought hard to over-
come the lead of the Norwalk team,
but were unable to overtake the
Indians.
The Red Men kept up the fine play-
ing of the previous week. last evening.
and played a great floor game. All of
the players were in the game evely
minute. It looks as if the Red Men
had at last struck their stride. and if
they continue to play the brand of
basketball during the remainder of the
season that they flashed last night,
they will give any team in this section
of the state a hard fight. Benny
Mason was the outstanding star for the
Red Men last evening. The little
guard of Indians tossed in four field
goals and one foul for a total of nine
points. He also played a great flam-
game and time, after time he broke up
plays of the Batting town team. with
his great door work. Clancy also
played a fine game for the local team.
He made three baskets and one foul
zeal for a total of seven points. Spot
Ilaeon was sent in the game during
tlre second half of the contest. and put
up a fine exhibition:
Feeley was the leading scorer for
the I-luttcrs. He made four baskets.
Lang. the right forward of the Dan-
bury team, played a good game. This
lad is one of the best players that has
‘ appeared on the local court this sea—
son. He was Eaptain of last season's
ynobury high school basketball team.
3* The preliminary game which was
the first of the series hctwor-n the lied
'i’Meu Separates and the Y. M. H. A.
Separates was one of the best of the
season. Both teams fought hard all of
the way and the winner was in doubt
up until the last minute of play. At
the end of the first half of the game
the Bridgeport team was leading by
the score of 12-11. In the second hnif
of the game the local team put on on
extra burst of speed and during the
last few minutes of play managed to
nose out in front of the visiting team
and score a victory by two points.
Joncs was the leading scorer for the
local team. lie tossed one basket and
three foul goals for a total of five
points. Each of the local players
tossed in one field goal. All of the Red
Men played a flrte floor game and
it would be a hard matter to pick out
any individual star.
Rockowitz was the leading scorer
for the Bridgeport team. He made two
baskets and two foul goals. for a total
of six points. VVexler also played a tine
game for the Park City lads and made
two baskets. The second game of this
series will be played at Red Men's hall
next Monday night.
A large crowd was on hand to wit-
ness the games last evening. Both of
the games were referred by Charles
Mahoney of Bridgeport in_a fine man-
ner. After the games dancing took
. place. Music was furnished by
lchuie's orchestra.
