ambition to become successful or

following:
'I honor the man who in the con-
scientious discharge of his duty dares
to stand alone; the world, with ignor-
ant intolerant judgment may condemn,
the countenances of relatives may be
averted, and the hearts of friends
grow cold, but the sense of duty done
shall be sweeter than the applause
of the world, the countenance of rela-
tives or the hearts of friends"

NHOOLBOY RIVALS
 SET FOR CRUCIAL VALLEY LOOP GAME
Teams Include Good ScOr. ing Combines = Re- serves in Annual Battle

Wilby high schools bask etball rating in the Naugatuck Valley In- terscholastic league as we'll as the real inside" as to the ability of its hoopmen under pressure will rise or fall tonight, when Pessl- mistic Pete Foley and his Nauga- tuck boys invade the Grove street gymnasium.
 According to the Gil Dobie of the Rubber Borough, his team will have to be up and doing every minute ant win which is quite true in this instance, but Pete would say that if he knew his boys could win by 20 points. However, the customers will be treated to real evening of basketball watching the variety and reserve Wildcats and Greyhounds do their stuff from 7:45 onward. Not Much Difference
 On the basis of their showing against Harding of Bridgeport, Wilby and Naugatuck should put on 8 real Donneybrook this eve. Both teams played Harding within the past week with dissatisfying results. Wilby lost in Bridgeport | 29 to 27 in an overtime game which should not have been necessary, according to Wilby claimants. but followed a dispute at the timers table. Naugatuck beat Harding 35 to 31 in Rubbertown last Wednes- day night in a game which featured foul-shooting rather than basket ball.
 In Condition
 Naugy has been primed for the Wilby game for sometime, Coach T11n,e l. ~ ft,11 thnf n tonight will make his path to the valley championship relatively clear. A victory will also boost the Naugy morale for Yale tourna- ment play. It seems Wilby has not yet hit its stride, according to the material on the team. though the only loss this season was It's first game to Lyman Hall by two points. The Harding game has been order- ed replayed. .Naugy's only loss to date was the game with George Cassidy's New Britain high boys last Monday night, which was not valley league encounter. Neither Wibly nor Naugatuck have lost to a league rival as yet.
 Some of the Boys
 Opposing guards have to do some of their best work to hold the rival forwards in check. Wilby's de- fense has young Tom Scally and Johnny Balinsky to worry about, while Naugatuck guards must keep Crlchton, Cornell and Tracy away from the nets, to say nothing of LaRusso and Jacovino who might get in to do plenty of dam age. Crichton and LaRusso are two of the finest forwards now playing Connecticut high school basketball. Tn fact, they are a little too fast. Loman and Trask are also quite capable of coming through when points are needed for Naugatuck. All in all, it will be a game worth watching.
 Dan Ahearn of Middletown will referee the main tilt. Reserve teams of the two schools will play the preliminary game with dancing to follow Probable lineups:
 Naugatuck-Garric rg; Tuck ey, lg; Reardon, c; Balinsky, If; Scally, If.
 Tracy, c; Briotti, rg; Bagley, lg.

 TAME LOAFERS

Three games again headed the program in the Y. NJ. c. A. gym last night and some big scoring was displayed. The best game of the evening was between the Loaf CTS and the Moonshiners. Grant starred for the losing team with 12 points to his credit, while Beardsley and Murphy shared hon. ors for the winners with points each. The Moonshiners defeated the Loafers 2S to 26.
 The second game was a rum away for the Yo Yo Twisters de- feating the Idlers 35 to 10. V. Pal moski scored heavy for the Yo Yo's with 14 points. Healy starred for the losers with 6 points.
 Crosby went on the shooting streak with 15 points for the Ho- boes in defeating the Trackwalk k- CTS 23 to 16. J. Zebraskas was the Trackwalkers best bet.
 In the afternoon tie game was displayed between the Middies and the Wasps 2S all. They were oblig- ed to vacate the floor for the 5:1 5 class. The game will contine next Friday at 4:00 o'clock. The man agers of both teams will be asked to play a complete game when they meet next week. Al Urbelis sank two counter with 10 sec onds to play, tying the score.

PATTERSON BACK
 FOR BOSTON GAME AT ARENA SUNDAY

New Haven, Jan 16.-George Patterson, who has been out of the Eagles lineup for the past several days and unable to play with the club when it engaged Yale and won 3 to 1, will be back on deck for the contest tonight at Boston.
 Patterson will also be handy to- morrow night when the Eagles take on the Boston team at the Arena here. unless something hap pens to him tonight.
 All Hands Ready
 Although the Eagles are strong in forwards and Manager Joe Simpson, with all hands on deck. can depend on three lines, the loss of Patterson in the Eli contest was keenly felt and the hopes of the Birds as they departed for Boston wouldn't have been so high if he was still out.
 Patterson fits in on the first line along with Hughes and Burmeister. Thi~ trio has been working since Patterson and Hughes were sent down from the Americans and 1t is strong scoring combination. Free Skating.
 The game here tomorrow night gets under way at S:30 and is over sufficiently early to allow fine period of skating open to the pub lie without extra charge.

SECOND ROUND OF | LOOP ON; NAUCY EMERALDS-HEARTS
North End Boys Have Chance to Pull Unex- pected - Stokes With Emeralds

Back to the two a day is the City Amateur Basketball program for tomorrow afternoon at the Phoenix avenue court, when the second round will swing into &C., ton at 2:30 o'clock. In the prin- cipal contest of the afternoon, Frankie Conroy's North End Thom- as club will have another oppor- tunity to knock the undefeated Brooklyns off their top perch while the Naugatuck Emeralds have a chance to get even for the two period overtime game they lost to the Carringtons by winning over the silent but scrappy Hearts.
 Starring Again
 Interest in the second round of the league will be centered upon the next meetings of the Caring tons and Hillies as well as the games which each team will play against the B. A. c. champions. By the same token, 1t would not be too surprising to see the Nauga- tuck Emeralds shoot their way in- to the playof picture as they have shown real ability and spirit in all of their games this season. With Bill Stokes at center, they will yet be heard from.
 If the Brooklyn team comes through for the second successive season undefeated. as many have predicted. there will be a great bat. tie for the second spot with no playoff in sight. The champs are out to win every game and prevent R post league series If possible, thus assuring themselves of another another perfect hoop slate.
 Garner Helps
 The Thomas club has shown plenty of class to date. but seem to lack a real scoring punch. all though they have strengthened considerably by the addition of Ralph Garner, who showed marked defensive power last Sunday and excellent passing ability. He Is also rated a good shot but that re- mains to be seen, as he has played but one game to date. It will take a great team to beat Brooklyn this season. though anything can happen in basketball and often does.

Levinsky Defeats
 Pauline in Chi

Chicago, Ill, January 16 -- (UP) - King Levinsky, Chicago's battling buffoon, today boasted of victories over both Pauline Uzcu- dun and Tommy Loughran, some- thing no other heavyweight has won.
 Levinsky battered his way to a 10-round decision over Pauline be- fore a crowd of about 13.500 who paid approximately $36.000 to see the match. Levinsky defeated Loughran in New York last month.
 Last nights decision was not unanimous, Referee Phil Collins and one judge casting their votes for Levinsky and the other judge calling the bout a draw. Pauline weighed 200, Levinsky 195 1-2.
