The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1932-01-30

The principal point or interest In
the first game Will center about the
question as to whether or not the
Tommies can keep up the style Of
play that enabled them to beat the
Brooklyns two weeks ago for the
first time In two years. A win over
the Carringtons will definitely es-
tabIish them as team to be reck-
oned with right up to the seasons
finale. while loss to the Car
ringtons will put them nowhere at
all insofar as getting into a pos
sible playoff with the Brooklyns Is
concerned. The Darlington crew
has been defeated two or three
times, but the winners each time
knew they were in basketball
game, while the Tommies followers
believe that the North End boys
have at last hit their real stride
and are combining shooting abil-
ity with their acknowledged speed.
Very Much Worth While
In the Hills Naugatuck clash,
there will be plenty to cheer about,
regardless Of which team any fans
wants to win, for they are both ag-
gressive outfits that have never
yet given up until the last whistle
One of the individual features of
the game will be Joe Wallis play
against Norman johnson, while
Stokes play at center will be
watched with interest in view OF
the fact that he was with the Hills
until two weeks ago, at which time
he transferred his allegiance. Then
again, the Naugatuck defense Will
have plenty to worry about keep
ing Kovacs and Corners in check.
All of which should make a most
pleasant afternoon.
