JANIAKY 1 10 11 Bradford Knocks Dragons Out Of First Place In Circuit Fouls Deciding PATTERSONS TO Factor In PLAY MERCHANT 16 Points For Conroy FIVE ON FRIDAY Warren basketeers suffered their first loss of the season last night after seven straight victories, and they pirkcd a disastrous time to do it. Coach Harold Brace's Bradford Owls turned the trick in chalking up a well-earned 3b-29 deci.sion which knockcd the Dragons out of i first place in the circuit and made retaining their chanipionsiip toga a very difficult task. Although the visitors were in command of the situation most of the time from the opening whLstlc. the Dragons actually led iJi field goals, largely through the efforts Harry ('onroy, who log- isterefi eight times from the field.

The Blue and White lang up two-pointeis to .13 for the Brad- iord combine. Unfortunately for the Kolpien- mon, the pay-off is not made on a field goal basis entirely, and when it came to the foul-lino test our hoys have stood in bed." Given a dozen chanty tossc.s, the locals finished out with one success, that lone foul point scored by Rob Brown in the soc- oncLquarter. Meanwhile, tlie Bi'ace cohorts monotonously rung the bell ten time.s out of thirteen, and was more than the maigin of tory. Veterans Kd Moffatt and Jnmny Barry counted four timc.s apiece iT-om the field and iMoffatt five out of seven foul to lead in scoring with thirteen Barry batted 100 per cent in his trio of attempts from the cii-cle. Tucker and Bob Hansen rang up two field goal.s apiecc for the Dragons and Fred Fling entered a pair of double deckers on the Bradford letlgei.

Hansen appeared late in the last quarter and tipped in a pair in rapid succession. CAME THE DAWN HKill Pttl.sbiirgh. 15 I the Y. M. C.
