Face Partly Covered

According to Kiefer the man came to the door with a bandana handkerchief tied around his neck and lifted the handkerchief over his nose, hiding the lower part of his face, before he started for the register
 In the restaurant at the time of the holdup besides Kiefer, were Margaret Yorke, a waitress, and a couple of customers at the lower end of the counter, but none of these were molested nor threat ened.
 According to Mrs. Yorke, who followed the man out and sum- moned the officers, he turned down the alley next to the restaurant leading toward the docks and dis appeared in the darkness.
 Holdup Is Timed
 It is believed the robber timed his holdup, as he waited until after Patrolmen Roy Hoffman and J. w. Markle had passed the cafe on the opposite side of Front Street and were on their way toward the Triangle Corner, when he entered the restaurant. Hoffman and Markle responded immediately to the call of Mrs. Yorke but the robber had already disappeared and escaped.
 The man is described as being between 25 and 30 years of age. about feet, 10h inches tall and slender He wore a dark corduroy coat with small fur collar and cap which was worn low over the eyes, which were dark. He also wore leather boots and had holster for the revolver.
 The officers are working on several clues in the case, but so far no arrests have been made.

WILEY WILDCATS FACEABLECROSBY
 TEAM TOMORROW

 Park GridirOn

With every regular player, bar ring one exception in shape for their biggest effort of 5tAe season tomorrow morning, Crosby and Wilbys high school football com binations rested this afternoon, awaiting the whistle at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning which will send them into action on the Hamilton Park gridiron in their annual city game. s.r
 Practice Makes Perfect
 s> Crosby's last game was in ANau- gatuck, November 10th while Wilby and Shelton a week later has been the last time the Wildcats were seen in action, meaning that both clubs have had nothing to do but practice faora the past ten days and they have done that with plenty of vim, vigor and vitality. Wiiby goes into the game a decided underdeg as a result of Crosby,s state. rec ord this season which shows but one loss in seven tart and admit tedly third of fourth bet combina- tion in Connecticut S'94
 Kruess Will be missing from his regular pivot post for Wilby but the Perenewskf boys. :. Lacilla, De- vino and all the other Wildcats have been peppeI up by some of the old grads to a point where they might get off to a flying start against the Crosby combine which has passed its peak of effectiveness due to a long layoff since the Nau- gatuck game.
 Surprises
 Defensive play is expected to fea- ture the Wilby plays for the early part of the game, though the Wild cats have a few new plays that might take the Crosby contingent right off its feet by surprise though the average fans figure the Scho- field. outfit at least IS points bet her than Jimmy Lees lads, who have not shown much but a will ingness to play hard.
 Eddie Hart, Fay Vincent and pr. M. A. O'Hara will handle the game as usual while advance sales indicate the usual crowd of 5000 fans includin gthe student bodies of both schools. with five thousand more on the surrounding hillside.

Robert Darnell & Company, bet ting commissioners, quote odds on the game at to 2 and take your choice. The game looks close to fans also as tickets for 7S,00o seats at Philadelphia's Franklin field long since have been purchased.
 One other game is listed as so close that odds amounting to even, are up-the clash between George Washington d Oklahoma Thanksgiving day.
 Standouts
 After which comes the field of possible upsets. The East's second outstanding game is Temple at 21a to over Bucknell tomorrow, with the eastern championship figuring in it if Temple wins.
 In the big southern game tomor- row, Alabama is a to 1 shot to whip Vanderbilt to advance it's claims for the southeastern con- ference title to be settled only aft CT Louisiana's State clash with Tulane Saturday and with Tennes- see on December 8.

BUCKINGHAMS DEFIED
 BY BALDWIN PREPS

The Baldwin preps have repeat edly challegenged- the Buckinghams of Oakvi1le but no reply has been forthcoming as far is champion ship is concerned the preps know of no such a title existing and if one did exist the preps would not be the least interested because they would have no use for 1t if they did possess it. Why a team as heavy as the Buckinghams should claim a title of any kind is bit vague in our minds be- cause they had no games with any opposition that would stamp them as champions. The preps therefore wish to go on record as saying they believe that they are as good if not better than the Buckinghams and challenge them for their my thical championship at any field with neutral officials. The Props would like to hear from the Buck inghams as soon as possible and would like to get the game for the coming Sunday. .;s.-.,..-,-..,
 Any of the Buckinghams can ar- range for the contest by calling Waterbury 4-7165 between 4:30 and TOO. We feel sure that we will hear from the Buckinghams as re- gards this game, whether they de- eide to risk their championship or not,

ITERRYVILLE PLAYS

Especial to The Democrat)

b a
 Terryville, November 28 = One of the best football attractions in the Naugatuck Valley will be played in Thomaston, Thanksgiv- ing day afternoon when the All Terryville eleven with six straight victories to it's credit journeys to the clock town to meet the All Thomaston eleven, a team com posed of practically all of the Pom ies, one of the outstanding teams in the state. The Thomaston eleven will be minus four of their high price stars, but will be strength ened for the contest by the addition of several of last years players who have been playing with Water- bury elevens.
 Coach Billie Bertnagle put the local eleven through a long work out last evening in preparation for the holiday game and feels confi- dent that the locals will return home with a victory, although they will be going up against the strong est team that they have met this season..
 The local eleven is in the best of shape for the contest and such outstanding players as Mike Fill, Billie Bertnagle, Adam Harbert, Hookus, Carlson. Norton, Mendella, the Jarvis Brothers and a num- Der of others will be seen in ac- ton during the contest.
 The contest was originally sched- uled to be played Thanksgiving day morning, but due to the several other contests which are scheduled to be played in neighboring cities in the morning, the Thomaston- Terryville contest has been switched to the afternoon and will get under way promptly at Z o'clock.
 Sunday Game Possible
 Manager Bill Hagaman has been unable to come to any agreement with the Litchfield Cowboys for a contest as yet, as the locals refuse to meet the Cowboys on their home field and the Cowboys refuse to play here, in spite of the fact that during the past two years, the locals have made two appearances in Litchfield.

 Charlie Gcrillo, the dolph Men. jou of the league, had reasons to roar his TArZan call last week. He had a big night. N
 Young old Jack Roberts looked as though he was in for a bad night when he threw couple of balls in the gutter. However, he came back strong. <
 Who made that wise crack that Rabbits Cichetti was getting old.
 Johnnie Maher is getting ac- quainted and is going strong. Watch this team. They are going places.
 Harry Huey makes a good man on Proxy Flanagan's team.
 George Gaugler is going better than ever. Evidently is using high pressure gas.
 Pete Lewis started out as though ne would break his high three strings of 4O7 but fell by the way side in the last game when he got splits galore.
