omer than 1000 spectators.
Naugatuck, the only outht TO
humble the Ponies during the
Thomaston teams winning drive of
last season and coached by Ray
Hansen, looks forward to repeat
ing the feat against the Little
Horses" tomorrow. but the Rub
Der Town team of this season Ia
not believed to be az powerful as
the combine which conquered the
up-valley aggregation In 1881.
whereas Thomaston's lineup per-
faps packs more punch than 1t did
last season. However, 1t Will be
speed and strong aerial game up
on which the local team will de-
pend for yardage. A fast quartet OF
backs, headed by Captain Emmett
Carroll and including sullivan,
Louie Triano and Montagna h
bound to make things interesting
for the Thomaston tribe. Monta-
gna, q newcomer into the ranks OF

Carroll Dangerous Man
II was Carroll. one of the best
aerial tossers In New England. who
a year ago paved the way for a
Naugatuck victory and tomorrow
with RED" Stapleton on the re-
ceiving end, the Ponies will have
their hands full watching the air
game OF the Naugatuck eleven.
The Thomaston team shows the
better record OF the two clubs to
date, but the brand OF opposition
In state competition has been far
different. While the Ponies were
rough riding over such elevens az
the New Britain Tawnees Spring
cid Indians and Hartford. Nau-
gatuck was playing two ties, one
with the North Sides Of Bristol and
the other with the Ansonia Acorns,
a team which last week conquered
the New Haven BlueJackets, TO.
Torring has handed .Naugatuck a
setback, but the contest was close,
the New Cltyites coming out on
top, 1877 after torrid encounter.
However. the strength Of the Pom
les was greatly evidenced at Provi-
dence two weeks ago when the
Vincent-coached outfit met defeat
Mt the hands Of the big Steam Roll
err eleven, $50. when II was ex-
pected that the Rollers would score
at least dozen on the visitors.
And last Sunday afternoon the
Rollers moved down the crack
Cleveland Panthcrs, 800.
