Farmer Takes a Bow

When Raymond W. Pond. "Ducky" to the college world, and just Bus" to the folks back home made good against a so-calIed sui eide schedule" this year by winning the Big Three championship, when the best that could be predicted for him in September was a possible win over Pennsylvania, he substan- tiated the judgment of Malcolm w. Farmer, Yale's head man of ath- cities, who insisted on a Yale grad as head coach this year, rather than and outsider. Farmer og genial and warm personal ity, is quiet able as an executive and has more than made progress at Yale, despite almuni aloofness that disappeared after the football team started winning and climbed up his back after that Princeton game. His severest critics are now willing to admit that he knows what it's all about" And so does MT Pond and his aides, who will be on hand next season with better team and backed by more confidence from Yale graduates.

ALABAMALOO
 LIKE SURE ROSE BOWL COMPETITOR
BY LAWTON CARVER


 New York, Nov 30 = (U.P.) = Alabama's Crimson tide was 8 stand-out to-day for the Pasadena Rose Bowl New Years day. So much of standout was Alabama that large part of that states population understood the invita- ton already had ben issued and ac- cepted.
 The Crimson tide swamped Van- derbilt yesterday. 34 to 0, making it a clean sweep for the season. Pittsburg, still an outsider for the invitation. beat Carnegie Tech, 20- o, but Pittsburg has been defeated this season. and a defeat does not look 50 good.
 John Baker. superintendent of the Birmingham City Auditorium, announced at a Thanksgiving dance last night that the Crimson Tide had been invited and had ac- cepted. Coach "Tiny" Thornhill of Stanford was asked to confirm. He said that "as far as I know" no official action had been taken. Two largish attractions remain on the seasons program - Army versus Navy tomorrow and that Pasadena Rose Bowl match be- tween Stanford and an eastern or southern opponent.
 Army and Navy's meeting at Philadelphia tomorrow already is a sell-out--meaning an assured au. dience of 7S,o00. Both teams de- parted last night for the scene of battle. each spelling for a fight. The odds were to 2. take your choice.

'ANSONIA SWAMPS WEAK NAUCATUCK
 COMBINE 25-O
Copper City Team Scores Four Times After Open-
 ing Period

Naugatuck, Nov. 30.-The exhi- bition of football displayed by the Naugatuck high school football team in it's last game of the sea- son yesterday was like the day very dismal, and the Garnet was roundiy beaten by the Ansonia team, which played good football but was not particularly impressive, by a 25-O score. The contest was played at the Recreation field and there was a very large crowd, con- @idering the wet weather.
 It was the first time in many year sthat Ansonia has beaten Nau- gatuck and the first time in many more than the down-valley eleven has triumphed by so decisive a score, The Ansonia rooters were Joyful and carried their coach around on their shoulders after tho game. A group of them wanted to tear down the goal posts and cart them away but Naugatuck police men prevented this, although at one time it appeared as though some of the fans would defy the law.
 Failed In Pinch
 Naugatuck lost fine oppor- tunity to score in the first period when 1t brought the ball down to about the five yard line but could not push 1t over. Frank Edmonds was hurt shortly after play start. ed and had to be taken out. He returned to the game later how ever.
 Ansonia scored twice in the sec- ond period and once in the third and once in the fourth. A Naugy tumble in the final period paving the way for a touchdown. Near the end of the game Joe Marce- loniB intercepted a pass and ran about 40 yards. He had a clear field with the exception of one man but did not straight-arm this play CT and was tackled.
 A Naugy pass was intercepted a few minutes later. Teslik, Romano and Sokolnicki were outstanding for Ansonia.

Washington College Special

Unfortunately, Waterbury's grad uates and former student colony at Washington college, Chester town, Md, were unable to peruse the able MT Parker's column in The Democrat, due to the fact that our paper passed up publication for the holiday. However, would be lacking in duty to Elegant Eddie Keenan and the boys if did not show them what MT Parker had to say about that great little college, way down south. Read on:
 Washington college, in Chester town, Maryland is the only institu- ton of learning named for the Father of His Country which re- ceived permission from Georgie himself to use the name. After all these years, little Washington col- lege has acquired new distinc- tion. It's football team during the season just closed was the best in the history of the school having won five games, tied one and lost none. Tom Kibler, head coach, used to play with the Chicago White Sox until he groke a leg sliding to second base in 1917. That accident ended Toms baseball career, but there were more important mat ters to concern him about that time. America had entered the war, and Tom enlisted as soon as his leg mended. Before the big scrap was over he had won wound stripes and decorations for bravery overseas. His assistant at Washington college is George Elaitis, former Western Maryland star, whom Coach Dick Harlow terms the best backfeld man he ever turned out. Minnesota and Alabama have their adherents but down on Maryland's eastern sho' they sho' think there's only one football team worth while this Washington college. And Washington never told lie"

The Secrets Out
By JOHN A CLUNEY

After watching Crosby beat Wil- by by three touchdowns in the mud at Hamilton park yesterday, 1t becomes increasingly clear to me why New Haven's Emmons Bowen phenagled around so much without playing his postponed tilt with Crosby, and Norwich and New Brit ain, each with perfect records were unwilling to fill in the local date last week. Crosby has as smooth a football machine this year as 1t has known during the best part of a decade, with a four. man backfield that's equally valu- able, contrasted with a one-man threat behind the line last sea son. At any rate, Crosby looks quite capable of facing the best opponent in the stateand could be wagered on with plenty of confidence to win, according to the picture they pre- scented yesterday, even under play ing conditions that were anything but ideal for the playing of tue game.

Terfyville, Nov S0.--Although all four of Terryville's outstafidins athletic teams swung into action over the holiday, but one team re- turned to Terryville with q victory, the All Terryville football eleven handing the surprisingly strong Thon1aston Tigers so setback in a game played on muddy field and with rain falling during the greater part of the contest.
 The Ali-Terryyille victory in- creased their string of victories to seven and made them the outstand- ing team in Litchfield county and one of the strongest in the Nausa- tuck Valley.
 The local eleven played a ragged game during the first half of the contest, but in the second half, with Hookus, Norton, Krisiski, Carlson, Fitzsimfnons and Hafbert tearing off large gains through the Thomaston line, outplayed the Clocktowners.
 The first two points were made on a blocked punt near the goal line on which Norton fell on the ball. The touchdown score came in the fourth quarter when KrisislSi intercepted a forward pass which bounded out of Thomaston play CTS hands and ran about 30 yards for a touchdown. The try for the point after touchdown failed. Only a small crowd witnessed the contest due to the rain.
 Manager Hagaman is erldeavor- ing to book game for Sunday, the locals playing attracting a great dael of attention and the prospects being that if a game Is arranged for Sunday afternoon, tho locals would perhaps play before one of the largest crowds of the Hoop Teams in Action
 The St Casimir's basketball teams opened their season in New Ha- ven on Wednesday night when they met the New Haven Polish teams in State Polish league con- tests. The St Casimir's boys team went down to defeat by score of 24-22 in one of the hardest fought contests ever witnessed in New Ha- ven with each team being in the lead several times during the con. test.
 The Terryville girls also lost a heartbreaking contest, going down to defeat by a score of 12-11. The local girls showed surprising strength and should cause plenty of trouble to all of the other teams in the league.
 The St Casirnir's teams will jour- ney to>Union City on December 9th for their next state league contests while the home season will ( be opened here on December 10th with the Hartford teams appearing on the Auditorium surface.
