EXPECT CAPACITY CROWD AT CROSBY NAUCATUCK GAME
Annual Contest Will Deter- mine Winner of Valley League - Kickoff at 2:3O

The student body at Crosby as- sembled in the gym this morning where a pep rally was held in con- nection with tomorrow's annual battle with Naugatuck scheduled for 2:3O o'clock at Hamilton Park.
 Regardless of the article local scribes have been editing the past week, the contest should be one of those thril1ers which generally describe a Crosby y-Naugatuck con- tests. Arrangements have been com.leted to handle 8 capacity crowd.
 Ike Kern, the main cog in the blue and white rear works, and Mike DiNapoli, aggressive center, are still uncertain starters. Ed Lovesky may show in place of Kern and Maurice Sullivan for Di- Napoli. Kern Is expected to play although he Is still troubled with his leg.
 Little has been heard of the Foleymen, but one can expect to see almost anything happen when the garnet and grey stack up a. gainst Crosby. Both outfits always show plenty of stick-to-it-tive-rless and with opportunity knocking at each ones door for the Valley league title, one can be assured of plenty of action.

"Whitey'' Raron's Stanford In. tercolleeiatc group lcd the K. Of l.. Community basketball league with five successive victories, and have yet to face defeat. Four Of their five wins were by narrow marginus, and were deserving 0f the leadership through their won- fcrful playing. The following ts their record for the first series:

 Five newcomers were admitted into the circuit last week. They were: Al Semetas with Cornell, An- thony Januskauskas with Prince ton. "Richards" Radzevich, and Bernie Zukauskas with Stanford array.
 Frank Swasey, younger brother of Joe who is star center Of the Brooklyn A. O., is speedily develop inr into Q fine guard. Frankie held Captain Vic Gelgot Of the NOtre Dame team scOreless, and that was partly the reason Tor Prfnceton's first win of the year.
 The CibuIskis brothers, Joe of Princeton and Walter of Notre Dame, played opposite each other last Monday night, both getting fine hand for their wonderful guarding. which was the talk or the night.
 Anthony Boley and Adam Aiu- lis. two of the most promising members of the K. of l.. basket. hail loon have been signed to as- sist "Slim" Razier to coach the younk lassies basketball team. And speaking of Alulis, we wish 10 conrratulate him for he has been promoted as captain of the Cornell team.
 Prosper Zaileckis who has played fine basketball while at Niagara university, and who is at present with the Notre Dame team, has been a great help to Captain Gel got and his outfit. We expect to see Prosper with one of the DE K. of l.. teams this winter.
 With an abundance of heavy. weight material in basketball in the K of l. loop, 1t may be probable that a Lithuanian football team will be organized for next year.

RISE Of BILLION
IN j. 5. DEBT
FORECAST
Reduction in Receipts Plus
Bigger Expenditures Make
Security Issues Necessary

An increase of $1,000, ,U00, 900 in
the public debt will result in the
year ending June 30, according
to Treasury calculations revealed
today.
The situation is due 20 the buSi-
ness depression which has brought
heavy reduction in receipts, and
necessitated heavier expenditures,
including the boost in the loan
value of veterans adjusted serv-
ice certificates.
Security Issue Planned
Present plans call fof c Sc
curity issue of $1,600,000 900 in
March, probably long-terIn bonds.
Of that amount $1,100,000 600 will
be devoted to retiring 312 per
cent notes and the remainder to
pay loans to veterans. Officials
said it probably would be neces-
sary to have another $400, 200, 900
issue in June for the bonus leans,
although others thought that pos
sibly the volume of the loans
sought will not exceed $700,000,-
900.
Since the Treasury also has two
maturitieS of certificates in June
totaling more than $500,000, 900,
the new issues during that month
will run close to $1,000, ,000,0C0.
Security Market Good
Little difficulty was anticipated
in marketing these securities,
There have been no issues of
long term obligations by the
Government in more than 10
years and it was thought a good
demand had developed for that
type of investment.
There is plenty of idle money
in the banks ready to absorb a
tremendous volume of Govern
ment paper.
Treasury finances will expert
ence a severe blow in March
when the first installment of
taxes on 1880 incomes is paid.
AS the 18th, ordinary due-date
for the returns, falls on Sunday,
taxpayers will get an additional
day of grace in 1881.
Estimates now place the loss
at from S1OO,OOO,OOO to $15O,OOO,-
900 as compared with the $685.
OOO, 900 collected in March, 1880
The year before the March col
lection was over S6O1,0OO,OOO.
Customs receipts and miscel-
laneous internal revenue collec-
tions, even including the cigarette
tax, have slumped materially
during the year with little early
material improvement anticipated.

ZOG HIS LIFE
Assassins Given Opportunity
To Attempt Murder as King
Goes to See Dancing Girl

VIENNA, Feb. "a U.S0.-King
zog I, of Albania, almost was as
sassinated because he preferred
blondes.
Or, rather, a particular blonde
"a beautiful, dashing, graceful
dancing girl, Francisco Won Janko,
daughter of an Albanian gar
dener.
Francisco, who is established in
a fashionable hotel here as Bar
oneSs Won Janko," today revealed
for the first time that she is the
real reason for King zog's pro-
longed stay in Vienna.
ZOg Escapes Death
Police failed in their efforts to
protect King Zog from assassinS,
emissaries of tribes which have
sworn death to the monarch be-
cause he refused to disclose his
movements.
The result was that the ii vas
no official Viennese police sS.Iard
present at the opera house Friday
night when two Albanian aSsail-
ants killed a court minister they
mistook for King zog and seri-
ously wounded Major Topolaf, the
Kings aide. Zog escaped death
by escorting the pretty baroness"
to the main entrance of the
theater.
While police were baked in
their efforts to protect Zog from
his enemies, the handsome 36-
year-old Albanian King was pay
ing lavish court to Fraulein Won
Janko, who is 27. It is even re-
ported that King Zog has con-
tracted a morganatic marriage
with her.
She Admits Romance
Francisco, who is being referred
to by some today as a second
Lupescu," is frank in admitting
that the King is completely in
fatuated with her charms.
The baroness and King Zog
met at an italian seashore resort
three years ago. A short while
later, at the Kings request, she
gave command performance in
Tirana, capital of Albania.
Because of zog's evident in
terest in Francisco, court min
listers who were trying to arrange
a marriage with one of the
Italian princesses gave up their
attempts.
