Bill Court of the Nor-walk Red Men stepped to the foul line as time was called to end the game with the New Canaan Big Flye in the Vil- lage Hall in New Canaan last night. The final result of the game rested up Court's shoulders. for if he mis- sed the goal the contest would so late an extra period. Court carefully gauged his dis- tance. hold the ball in front of him for the final throw as the crowd become as noisy as it ever had been. With a. quick snap motion the ball left Court's hands.

"Red" Kelly was, forced out of the game with a badly cut lip suffering when several players came together in the. center. of the floor.
