ARMORY CROWD
1,185 Fans Saw 01d
Company F and
Stamford Fives Play
Fast Contest
The‘largest'crowd that ever wit-
nessed a basketball game in the lo-
cal armory according to svailabl
records was 1‘185. Frank Gusrnlerl'.
well known basketball and baseball
player. of this city. has the records
with these statistics. None of ill.
former sport promoters can u.
member having more paid admis—
sions that this number.
The occasion for this record all»
tendance was when the old Stum-
ford and the Company F. team (IL
Norwalk met. The date of this lint-
tle was January :7. 1911. The Sll‘:
of the crowd well indicates the in-
terest in the game. Wagcrs \vcrv
made in many parts of the COllill)‘
over the outcome 0! this battle.
Some of the fans even bet
shirts on their favorite.
Long before the game vas sclwi-
uled to play fans flocked to the ur.
niory in order to obtain a seat. Scr-
eral minutes prior to game time all
the seats were taken and the fans
were still (locking in. Standing
room was at a premium when the
two teams lined up at the opening
whistle. A not old battle was
fought. The fans cheered themselves
hoarse as the players raced from
one end or the floor to the other.
Stamford. finally won. 26-28. but
the result was not apparent until
the referee‘s whistle blew to end
the contest. .
Big George Smith jumped center
for Stamford in this game. He was
going strong and could hold his own
with any of the big time men in or-
ganized professional basketball at
that time. Smith is still goin:
strong and 15 years have elapsed
since that battle.
The t‘orwalk team was manazenl
by manager Frank Godfrey. Billy
Roach refereed the contest. .\'cr-
wlk used Frank Guarnieri and Tom
Dcrney as forwards. Frank llill
jumped center. The guards were
Harry Cahtll. Hughic [Ionics and
the late James "Spot" Dngon. Statu-
icrd went out-of-town and obtained
several stars for their team. but the
local boys put‘up a. hard battle and
had the better at the visitors until
the last part or the contest.
George Smith made such a good ‘
impression in this game that he was
signed .by Uniontown. Penn, in the
Central League for the following.
season. )He went to Pennsylvania
«and wired back home for Guernierl
and Barney to come on. The two
‘lccal boys did not care for league
basketball and stuck to home. Many
of the basketball fans and players
will remember this game as it was
one of the outstanding sporting
events in this section at the state.
