STAMFORD YMCA MEETS SNAUCATUCK
 HIGH WEDNESDAY
Borough Fans Still Stun- ned By Crosby 4l-2O
 Win Saturday Night
( Special to The Democrat )

Naugatuck, Jan. 8-The Nauga- tuck high school basketball team is facing with some misgivings, the game booked for Wednesday night here with the Stamford "" team. After the sound lacing ad- ministered the locals Saturday night by their old rivals, Crosby high of Waterbury, the local team's schedule now seems to have many rough spots in it.
 Crosby was the first high school opponent of major calibre the To- calls met and Naugatuck wasn't even in the running. Local fans are still talking about the spectacular shooting of the Crosby team. Some believe that Saturday night was a night on which the Crosby team was in unusually good form, that it was "hot" but whether or not this was true, there is little doubt in the minds of the spectators that the performance turned in by the Waterbury team was one of the best seen in many years on the local GOT.
 Zone Dit It
 Naugatuck's attack could get mo- where against the zone defense of the Crosbl team. 1t is expected there will be shifting of players on the local team now. The Nau- gatuck team looked very slow as compared to the Waterbury play CTS.
 Little is known of Stamford's s ability but the Garnet realizes that unless it improves it's play fifty per cent it will have another de- feat chalked up. A practice was held at the local "" this after noon.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-08

Final statistics, released to-day show that Presnell, former Neb- raska ace, topped Newman in every department except forward passing where the Giants star led the league with 53 completed aerials for 963 yards.
 In point-scoring, PresnelPs GA tied Ken Strong of the Giants for the lead. In ground-gaining, Pres nell's 522 yards was better than Newman's 437. In addition, Pres nell booted a 38-yard field goal, the longest of the regular season.
 Hits The Line!
 Cliff Battles of Boston set a new gr0und-gaining mark with 737 yards in 146 tries, an average of better than five yards. The high est average was turned in by Rink Richards, former Simpson College star now with New York, who played in but six games to pile up PIT yards for an average of six yards.
 Richards, Buckets Goldberg of Green Bay and Shripwreck Kelly of Brooklyn were the leading touch down producers, with seven each. Presnell, Clark Hinkle of Green Bay and Jack Manders of Chicago Bears were leading field goal kick CTS with six apiece.
 Kelly topped the pass receivers by snaring 21 losses, but Bill Hew- lit of the Bears gained more ground with the 16 he caught.

DUTRA, RUNYAN WILL PROBABLY
 SETTLE CROWN
Los Angeles Golf Play Shows Keen COmpeti=
 ton Among Dealers

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan S-OP) The David and Goliath of profes- sional golf set out to-day on the last two laps of the ninth annual Los i Angeles golf championship. Olin Dutra, internationalist from Santa Monica, and small, fair Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. Y. were on even terms at they left the half way mark this morning-138 for the 36 holes, two strokes under par.
 Four strokes behind the leaders was their nearest professional rival Johnny Revolta of Milwaukee, with 143.
 Keeping Close
 Furnishing the threat from the professional ranks, was Charles Seaver, amateur from Los Angeles and current California amateur champion, who trailed only a stroke behind the leaders with a 139. Barring theextraordinary &C., hole finish by Revolta or any of the dozen players grouped at 143, and higher, it was expected the match would be foughtout between Dutra and Runyan.
 Dutra and Runyan swung into the home stretch with something like even chances, and the virtual certainty tha tthe match would be won on the greens. Dutra pos sessed the longer drive and a. sounder long iron, but Runyan's s mastery of the spoon offset the ad- vantage. Both were putting beau tifully.
 Dutra slipped little yesterday from his brilliant 67 of Saturday, best round to date-to take a 71, one over par. Runyan added a duplicate to his 69 of Saturday.
 Leading scorers:
 13S-Olin Dutra, Santa Monica, 67-71; Paul Runyan, White Plains, N. r., 69-69.
 139-Charles Seaver, Los An- geles, 71-68.
 149-Craig Wood, Deal, N. J., 7R-73

 Naugatuck, Jan. 8-The Nauga- tuck Firemens basketball team journeyed to Walnut Beach yester- day afternoon and came home with a victory over the Paddock A. c. of Milford tucked under their belts. The score was 50-42 in favor of the local smoke-eaters and the game was a closely contested one.
 Naugatuck took an early lead and was ahead 21-1S at half time. The score see-sawed back and forth in the third quarter and at the end of this quarter it was 35-35. How ever the locals put on that extra bit of power which helped them keep down the fire loss last year and took a sufficient margin to win. Ral Lodge was the big gun for Naugatuck scoring I6 points.
 A game with the Moose Big Five of New Haven will be played in New Haven Friday night. A tilt with Unionville is planned for next week, probably Thursday.
 Ray Deegan, Ralph Quinn, Ray Lodge, l.. Comiskey, Ed Nolde, "Beans" Muleski, E. Carroll, T. Murphy and Jones played with the locals. Ed Wilcox is manager of the Naugatuck team and Doe" Grove is the coach.

Shaping Naugatuck Valley bas- ketball history by beating Nauga- tuck High by 21 points on its own floor Saturday night, the Crosby combination of Griffin, Thompson, Bartolini, Joyce and Dunn, work ing together for the first time out side of practice, looks like as fast a team as any Connecticut high school can boast this season. At least, against Naugatuck, they showed speed and accuracy on the fioor?" brought the reply Tit can't be done this season" but Crosby did it--and how! It was sweet victory for Coach Billy Schofield and Player Johnny Griffin, who waited patiently for 8 year to play one game against Naugatuck. and his 15 point total should satisfy him forever and anon. To make 1t a great Crosby night. the local Re- serves nosed out Naugy, 21-20 in an overtime game, Matzkin, win- ming the contest with a fast hoop just before the final whistle. Here's the main game score, and it's one for the scra pbOOk:

 TORRINCTON FIVE
HOpeville to Meet Strong Foe at Boys Club
 Wednesday

The Hopeville Community Speed boys are fast regaining the form of a few years ago which made them one of the most successful teams in the state. Their over- whelming victory over the highly rated Southington Laundry team the past week is a just example of basketball they are playing. With this game under their belt they are out looking for teams with stronger playing ability and think they have found one this week in the strong All-Torrington team from that place. This team has been one of the best teams to represent the New City in years. Included in the lineup are such stars as Vic Radzevich, former Connecticut Ag- gie tsar, Billy Szeszsk cwski, high scorer of the Naugatuck valley Q few years back when a member of the Torrington high school wonder five, Red Germano, Debrot and Driscoll, all former stars in high school. Hopeville will have the same team that 50 successfully won its fifth striaght game. The lifieups for Wednesdays game will he.
