 SCHOOL CONTEST
 ON WEDNESDAY
Crosby and Naugatuck in Second Game, Figured
 to Draw Big Crowd

Wednesday night---Wilby gym-- Crosby vs Naugatuck. There's the announcement for which hundreds have been looking forward this winter. Oldest and bitterest of all the rivals in this section of the state, the meeting between this pair, no matter what the sport, is always productive of the most fiercely- fought contest of the sea- son. Tomorrow nights game appar- ently will be no exception, as both teams have their hearts set on vic- tory, Naugatuck to avenge the stunning defeat suffered at the hands of Crosby earlier in the sea son, and Schofield's club to prove that that victory was no luke.
 No Crowns
 Neither team will be battling for any title tomorrow night, and yet either one when travelling in full stride could meet any team in the state on practically even terms. Naugatuck after a shaky start has recently been sweeping through all opposition. So fast has the team bene going, that in spite of the fact that Crosby won down to the bor- ough, nevertheless many felt cer- tain that the Garnet would reverse that result in Waterbury. This feeling was dissipated Saturday night, however, when Crosby un- le9shing powerful attack, downsd Torrington on the latter's court 50-39. As Torrington whipped Naugy 35-30 recently. Crosby's vic- tory over the Big Red team has given the Naugatuck fans some thing to ponder over.
 Naugatuck will bring veteran club to Waterbury. Dick Tuckey, "Red' Scally, Frankie Edmonds, keches, Minnicucci, Loman, Balin- sky, are names which have for several years brought many 0 vic- tory to Naugatuck high school. Tuckey, Scally and Edmonds rank among the outstanding schoolboy athletes of the state. all three star ring in football and baseball as well as basketball.
 Experienced
 Crosby will also place a veteran club on the floor. Captain Wilbur Dunn, Johnnie Griffffin, Joe" Bag- ley, Joe Joyce, Dave Bartolini and Johnnie Thompson have all rep resented Crosby for several years. Right now Dunn and Joyce are playing the best basketball of their careers. This pair of guards rang up 45 points against Torrington Saturday night, Dunn accounting for 23 and Joyce for 22, which is going some.
 Naugatuck still has a chance to make the Yale tournament. The team is bv no means out of the running, and we understand is am, bilious to repeat the record of the 1928 team, which was tied for eighth place among the eligibles, and then went through to win the tournament.
 Bristol, Windham, New Britain. Central. Meriden, Commercial, and Torrington are some of the teams that seem to have the best chance of being selected. How ever, 1t is still nearly three weeks before the final selections are made and some of the front runners may be "also-rans"N by that time.
 Big Three
 Bristol, New Britain, Meriden and Central look to be the class of the state this year, with Bristol and Central probably fighting it out in the final, and Bristol win- ming. The two flnalists will then travel to Tufts where the New England championship tOurna- ment will be held. The two Con- necticut entries, no matter who they are, will be among the fa- vorites. Little opposition is likely to be offered from any of the Maine, New Hampshire or Yer mont schools. Rogers and De La Sale of Rhode Island are not dan- gerous, and the only opposition Is likely to come from the Massachu- setts entries. At the present writ. ting, Chelsea, Fitchburg, Worces- ter High School of Commerce, Quincy and Rindge Tech are out Chelsea has won 14 straight games and is undefeated this year. Fitchburg lost an early season game and Quincy, Worces- ter High School of Commerce has been going strong, whipping Rog- CTS recently by a 38-11 score.
