Principal Charles P. Slade of Naugatuck, who apparently classes newspapermen in the same ring with legislators who insist. on cut ting down tn salaries and appro- priations of school teachers and principals, insisted he would notify the newspapers as to Saturdays meeting when he got good and ready" Of course, If the question put to him would bring publicity that meant dollars and cents to Naugatucks athletic treasury, one can readily assume that the esteemed borough principal would not want for words.
 Crosby Case?
 In this case. however, 1t IS fair to assume that young Bill Crosby who started off the season as man. ager of the Naugatuck high team, then made" the team as a player and for the past three games mas been benched when his eligibility was unofficially questioned, is the hub of the situation. Ostenslbly, Saturday mornings meeting was only for the purpose of discussing
  the conference, but seems to nave been much more interesting than that, So much so, that no one at | the meeting cares to discuss 1t at all.
 SIadc "SiIent"
 Coach Peter Foley of Naugatuck, asked point blank if he was present at the netting, said he didn't care to talk about It." Principal Slade, after a tirade as to his opinion of reporters who have been camping on his trair' said: you won't get anything out of me until l get ready to say something. and | won't do that UNTIL THE THlNG IS FINISHED" What he means by "the thing" is probably young Crosby's eligibility for the boy has been reported to have played With the Naugatuck Travellers at the North End "Y" as Naugatuck offi- cials seem to have finally discov- cred. The truth of that charge, unofficial though 1t is. is borne out by that fact that Crosby has not played with the team in tAe Tor rington, Gilbert of Central games.
 With Principal Slade unwilling to make a statement until the thing is finished" and Coach Foley unwilling to say whether or not he was present at the meeting, it seems as If the Crosby case has not yet been fully decided upon. and all concerned are awaiting the return of President Walter E. Spencer of the Connecticut Inter- scholastic Conference who happens to have been in Minneapolis over the weekend. The silence of the Naugatuck principal and coach in regard to the matter can be taken for what it is worth, while that of the committee who heard "the cvi- dence" Is due to the fact that they do not want to talk until President Spencer hears of and puts his o1n- lcial O. K. on their finding.
