The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-27

Two teams with mythical battle on the gridirOn, representing the Army and the Navy will start out to-day in a drive for new members of Naugatuck post of the American Legion.
 The teams received their final in- structions from their coaches, Har- ris Whittemore, Jr., and Conrad Ham at meeting of the team mem- quarters. Past Commander Herbert Johnson was chosen referee of the contest. The goal set in the drive is for about 175 members. There are about $50 prospects, it is stated, in the borough, and all of these are to be interviewed. If the team mem- Der interviewing a prospect suc- ceeds in signing him up as a mem- Der this will count good gain on the mythical playing field. If he fails, 1t means that his team will be enthusiasm displayed at last nights meeting and the contest promises to be lively one.
