The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-11-12
TWO TOUCH GAMES
 REMAIN ON NAUGY GRID SCHEDULE
Stamford and AnsOnia Fol- low 33-7 Loss to CrOs-
 by Team Saturday

Naugatuck, Nov 12-The Naug- atuck High school team buried Saturday under a 33-7 defeat by it's traditional rival, Crosby High of Waterbury, was recovering from the smart of being trounced so easily, and faces the dismissal pros pect of probable defeat in its two remaining games, those with Stam- ford and Ansonia.
 The Garnet will play Stamford in the Lock City next Saturday and it's chances for victory are quite slim for Stamford trimmed War ren Harding High Saturday 20-6 and Harding gave Naugatuck a severe pasting a few weeks ago. Ansonia will play here on Thanks giving day, November 29th and as 1t easily beat Central who defeat- ed Naugatuck early in the season, an AnSonia triumph seems likely.
 Forwards Weak
 If Naugatuck hopes for victory, Coach Peter J. Foley will have to secure much better results from his line. Line weakness, especially at the tackle, positions, was large ly responsible for the size of the Crosby score.
 Time after time the brilliant Crosby backs, Gribbons, Dolan,- Stevens and Murphy plowed through gaping holes in the line. Crosby didn't need subtle plays for the simplest sort of reverses net ted them big gains when tried.
 Crosby scored early, passing on the first play after kick off to bring the ball well into Naugy territory. Dolan and Gribbons alternated at taking the ball, making gains of from to 15 yards, and Gribbons rushed over the goal line soon af- ter the first period began.
 A rush for point after touch- down failed. The Garnet could get nowhere and kicked. Crosby marched on another touchdown drive with Gribbon again carrying the ball over. Naugatuck linesmen were being taken out of play time after time. Rush for point after failed.
 It was the most pitiful exhibition of play by a Naugatuck team in many years. Soon after Naugatuck made it's first first down, with the help of an offside penalty on Cros- by but bad passes from the center handicapped it in its efforts to get going.
 Slick Work
 Crosby swept to it's third touch- down in the second period with George Dolan giving a nice exhibi- tion of running. Dolan climaxed a series of shifty runs by going over the goal line. Gribbon dropped the ball in the play for point after touchdown, picked it up and plow- ed over to make the score 19-O. The half ended soon after.
 Naugatuck scored shortly after the second half began when Henry Loman grabbed the ball from Do- lan's arm, Dolan having been run ming with it, and hot-footed his way 38 yards for a touchdown. It was the first time this play had been seen at Recreation field and the crowd of $500 fans at first didn't know what it was all about. A pass from Frank Edmonds to Anderson netted the extra point.
 Murphy of Crosby scored in the third period on a nice end sweep with Joyce drop-kicking for point after touchdown. In the fourth period Stevens intercepted Naug- atuck pass and made a sensational run of 50 yards only to be called back because one of his team clip ped Naugatuck man after the in- terception.
 Easy!
 Crosby was penalized 15 yards from the interception point and given possession of the ball. They started another drive and Gribbon made pretty run to put the ball on the Garnet one- yard stripe from which Murphy plunged over. The try for extra point was successful, Stevens SCOT ing.
 Several passes from Edmends to Allen were completed but Nauga- tuck was outplayed throughout the entire contest. Edmonds flashed oc- casionally nice runs but did not see mup to his usual top form. Naugatuck did not have possession o fthe ball long. Marcelonis and Allen did nice work the former making many tackles and Allen did fairly well at his end position.
 The only first fight occurred dur ing the half and was broken up af- ter $ few seconds by police off, cers. There were six cops at the field.
