NAUGATUCK SPORTS

Naugatuck, April Tine Nauga- tuck "Y" volley ball team made a creditable showing at the tourney held Saturday in Bridgeport. The locals finished in a tie with the Providence, R. l., team for second place, each team winning five and losing four of nine games played.
 The tourney was won by the Queens combine of Jamaica which trimmed Naugatuck and Bridge port three straight each and lost to Providence two games out of three to give it record of seven wins and two losses.
 One of the unusual features of the tournament was that Nauga tuck, after staging a rally to trim Providence two out of the three games played, dropped three to the Queens team and Providence later beat this team.
 Naugatuck played all of it's matches on the shorter of two courts in the Bridgeport "Y" and the main weakness of the local team was the cratic serving. All of the Naugatuck players in the first game of the Providence match were trying with small success the difficult overland service instead of the easier underhad delivery. and as a result could get no chance to gain points. In this game Naug- atuoN had 13 attempted serves go out or in the net.
 The locals play improved in the second game and they copped this and the third game with the best form they showed fin the whole tourney. Scores of the Naugatuck- Pro vidence match were 8-15; 15-13, 15-13.
 Play S1umps
 The locals lost the match with the Jamaica team because of in- ferior play, due partly to the fact somo players still persisted in the inconsistent overland service, and partly to the fact that the strong est lineup of the locals was not pre- scented against thc Queens team which was rated the strongest op- ponent Naugy would have to face. The combination of Halloway and Whitaker which had been clicking very well against Providence did not play in this match until the third game. The locals play was far from it's best.
 One of the Queens teams stars played only one game in the Prov idence match, the first, and left af- forwards because of dispute. The Queens team took the first game. 15-11, but missing their star, drop ped the next two 15-10 and 15-7.
 Naugatuck had no trouble in trimming the Bridgeport team three straight after this, scores be- ing 15-9, 15-9, 15-8.
 Providence trimmed Bridgeport two games. scores being 8-15, 15- 10 and 1517.
