NAUCY-WILBY IN FIRST HOOP CLASH
 OF 1884 SEASON
High School Rivals Set for Game TO-fn0rrOw-Re.
 serves in PreIirl

Regardless of the ultimate result Wilby and Naugatuck are bound to put on an interesting basketball contest tomorrow night when they take the Wilby gym in their first contest of the season. Both teams have had plenty of grief 50 far during their annual campaign against worthy opposition, with Q bright spot or two showing up in the gloom. For Naugatuck,, which got off to a good start against some rather easy opposition,. the crash came when Crosby pinned its ears back with a 41.2O count in the borough, but subsequent games against Harding, Bulkeley and Torrington showed the Dor. ougk squad to be far from the dis. banded condition in which 1t was supposed to be.
 Still Trying
 Wiiby's one-point win over Cros- by gave 1t hope for better things, but there has been nothing but the Crosby game for Wiibyites to cheer about thus far. Naugatuck is rated much stronger than Wilby In both player and reserve strength, but Waterbury fans have become accustomed to look for the unusual this season and have been well sat- isfied to date. Naugy will show at full strength while Wilby's squad is trained for the big effort, as wins over Crosby and Naugatuck the same season would seem too good to be true, but worth trying for. Jimmy Coogan of New Haven will officiate the game. Reserve teams of the two schools meet in a pre- liminary game at 7:3O D. m. and dancing will be enjoyed after the main contest.

The result means a play-of be- tween the Washington Hills, de- Tending champions and the Nau- gatuck Emeralds who are now locked in the league lead with only one loss in five games marked against them. The game will be played next Sunday afternoon at 3:15 D. m., following prelimin- ary contest between St. Joseph and St. Mary's parochial league teams, who are also tied for top honors in their circuit.
 Adjusted
 The settling of the protest cen- tering around Kraft, which has dragged several weeks, came about as @ result of the league protest committee consisting of James w. Lee of Wilby, William K. Schofield of Crosby and Charles R. Leader of the Y. M. c. A. sending the matter back to the managers with request for report on their in- tent at the time they passed rule on player eligibility before Kraft was protested by Manager John Raktwych of the Naugatuck Elm eralds. The managers voted that they intended Kraft to be eligible for the entire season.
 Action Ahead
 Competition in league games to date has been highly interesting, with several unexpected results, condition which presages plenty of action during the second round of play, scheduled to start on Sunday, February 11th at the central Y.M.- c. A. Mike Higgiston, who was in- jured in his first game with the Brooklyns will play with the leagues youngest outfit during the second round, replacing Freddy Jacovino.

Right now, Secretary Henry Me- Grath and Leo Conway are laying the groundwork for the tourna- melit which is planned for the last week of March at St Joseph alleys. This week, the pair are visiting New Haven and Bridgeport to line up state entries after which they will communicate with Holy Name teams outside of Connecticut. About sixty entries are expected this year, and if the meet is successful, 1t will probably be an annual affair, to be rolled in a different city each season. Bridgeport and New Haven are expected to enter about twenty teams.
 Plenty to Do
 Prizes and other definite arrange ments will have to be based on the exact number of entries, with tem- porary plans to close the entry date on March 18th. There is to be no commercial angle in Connecti- cut with the tournament, which is to be strictly amateur and arranged with the objective of social contact and the stimulation of activity among Holy Name societies of the six New England states.
 Games Tonight
 This evening, the Holy Name teams will have it out once again at the St Joseph alleys with the Mt Carmel and St Lucy teams in a fea- tured game and St Patrick and St Peter and Paul in another contest in which both teams have chance to move up in the standing.

NEWSPAPERS
OKAY RILEY

IF there is one man in the
state capitol who is diligent in the
public's business and therefore
comes before the electorate with a
Just and righteous claim to re-
election It is Ray L. Riley state
controller.
Owing to the peculiarities of the
state law, the candidates for this
office must seek a party nomination
when the duties of the office itself
are non-partisan.
What the people need in this
position is not Democrat or a
Republican but an honest and con-
scientious citizen. and Ray L. Riley
is both.
During his term he has saved
the taxpayers millions of dollars
through his careful scrutiny and
his unrelenting watchfulness in
seeing to it that all state expen-
ditures are kept strictly within the
law.
II there is any question Of ir-
regularity or shadow Of illegality
of any financial transaction, Riley
refuses to honor the claims until
the attorney generals office or
the courts have given him ruling.
It also is highly desirable that
the controller be entirely indepen-
