Pay College Athletes, Says Professor
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Intercollegiate rules prohibiting payment of salaries to athletes attacked by Professor Charles F. Bongardt of Creighton University.
 Bongard struck particularly at inclusion of courses in swimming basketball and other minor sports in college rcuums while denying financial aid to competing athletes
 "If university alumnus, business wished to help needy student with job scholarship, money everyone would applaud he sad "Tf you to do the for athlete you would be regarded sneak and criminal.
 "Is not an athlete entitled to much help athete? he asked Do food lodging clohes spending money mean less to him than to another?"
 "If right in saying that football and basketball rghtfuy extracurrcular activities then only the good students should be allowed to participate Let them they ws that engages in athletics unless he his above average.
 Under such restrictions university would be hiring athlete, which would be commerciaization it would merely be helping deserving student known by it to be such "The present stuation, Bongardt declared, merely rewards the outlaw player and the outlaw institution The conference pacts they exist benefit those who observe them scraps of paper They penaze those who regard them sacred obligations Such conference rules serve decent purpose"

That some of the states out Standing amateur boxing talent will be seen in action on Fridays program at Buckingham Hall is Increasingly evident from the bouts lined up by George Mulligan and Charley Pilkington, co-promoters of the show. Eddie McGraw of New Britain, one of the best 130 pound CTS in state amateur ranks and Tippy Sleeves of Torrington is the the latest bout to be signed for the show, and with the Perry Burch and Morris-Chicetti bouts should do more than a little to provide more than fair share of action throughout the ten bout program.

USCOES DEFEAT WORDEN COMBINE
 IN HECTIC TILT
Naugatuck Club Captures Two Overtime Period
 Dusty Contest, 34-3l
(By GEORGE n. DILI,ONl

The U. S. Rubbermen of Nauga- tuck proved to several hundred fans at the Central Y last night that they are ironmen, for after fifty long of hectic basketball they emerged with their second conse- cutive overtime Industrial league victory, this one being at the ex- pense of the state dusty cham pions, Dorden's, 34 to 31, in one of the most gruelling and inter- esting games seen on the Red Triangle surface in years.
 Took Big Gamble.
 After finishing their regulation game knotted at 25-25, the teams played another five minutes only to hear the whistle sound with the score still tied, 27-27, Sonny" Con- nells field goal and Bill Cullen's sensational shot from the side- court with 35 seconds left to play neceSsitating the second extra ses- sion,
 Due to slipup at this stage of the game the captains and coaches of both teams agreed to another five minute overtime instead of following the rules and playing until one team scored the first two points. However, Naugatuck came out on top anyway as Albie Raytk- wich and Bill Cullen sunk foul goals followed by another free toss by Bobby Gair who missed sec ond after which Alec Samborski sewed it up with a beautiful long shot from midcourt.

Naugatuck Sports
Leaders, Corps Score Hit

With thirteen leaders demon strating an exhibition with the short nickle wands at the Water bury Turn hall Saturday night, and fourteen of the states best gym nasts on the horizontal bars and parallels, nearly 400 witnessed one of the best exhibitions that Wa terbury has had in recent years. The little girls gym class Of the Waterbury Turner's open the eve- ning's entertainment with classy free hand calisthenic drill and re- ceived quite an ovation. The Naugatuck Leaders watched the high bar work intensely, as the To- cal "Y" now has two horizontal bars, seven feet apart, and the boys are working on this new added equipment to work out an act for the coming exhibition. Edwin Baumer, Gene Montanari, Myles Sweeney, and Tommy Edmonds look the most promising at this time.

TIME CUT ONLY TENTATIVE
 FOR CITY LEAGUE
Comfort of Fans Was Rea-. son for Change By
 Managers

There appears to be some mis- understanding about the action taken by the City Amateur basket : ball league officials at their weekly confab at the central Y, Monday night. The new arrangement re- garding the time of periods is only tentative. It has not been officially adopted as rumors have it.
 The intercollegiate ruling this season calls for two 20 minute halvesi instead of four ten minute quarters. The City league has been adhering to the latter. However. the playing of three games every Sunday requiring at least four hours, has not proved very ad- vantageous as far as the spectators are concerned. It is with the conn fort of the customers in mind that the league heads decided to give the new plan trial next Sunday. There will be three games as usual but each game will consist of two 10 AIoANCS AhSb0d0 VI AOhA 10 minute quarters. The first game will go on at 1:3o o'clock.
 Big Game
 Two officials will handle the Irish-American and Naugatuck Emerald clash which is spotted as the last game on next Sundays bill of fare. The Irish have clever aggregation with nicely function ing team play but the Emeralds. always a great team in crucial game, are favored to give their To- cal opponents beating. Bubbles" Balinsky, erstwhile Naugy star, and Dick Tuckey, another bor- oughite, are wearing the Irish American colors this year. It should be a game worthwhilue watching.
 The attendance at the league games the first two Sundays has not been up to expectations. With a galaxy of new and younger play CTS in the circuit this season, all evenly matched, hot race and inevitably large crowds are sure to ensue. The league seems well sot this season as far as referees are concerned with such competent whistle tooters as Henry Caring ton, John Clufiey and Gus Loner-i gan,

Special To The DemocraU

Terryville, Dec. 12-The St. Cas- imirs boys and girls basketball teams will journey to Thompson vile, Sunday afternoon to meet the Polish teams of that place in state Polish League contests. The Thompsonville teams are among the strongest in the state and are sitting at the top of the League a the presen ime.

 The game opened with Stanton getting away to good lead and he looked like a sure winner. Lange recovered his stroke when the game was half over and played spectacular billiards during the last several innings.

Dutra Regains
 Miami Golf. Lead

Miami, Fla. Dec. 12.-CUP)- Olin Dutra, of California, National Open golf champion, shot two steady rounds to take a two-stroke lead in the Miami Biltmore Open.
 A treacherous wind ballooning the cards of most participants has interfered little with Dutra's all- around steady play. Yesterday he added a "A, three over par, to a first round 70 for a total of IA.
 As the divided field of 300 play ing in two groups on alternate days, reached the halfway point in the tournament, Abe Espinosa, Chicago, who idled yesterday, re- linquished the lead he took Mon day and dropped into second place with a 36-hole 146.
 In a three-way deadlock at 147 were Johnny Farrell, Short Hilel, N. J.; Orville White, St. Louis, and Mike Turnesa, Elmsford, N. Y.
