Scoeders Figured No Better Than EDen Against Naugatuc
CROSBY ANXIOUS FOR CONQUEST
 OF NAUGY TEAM
Traditional High School Football Rivals at Hafl-
 iIton Park Saturday

With Yale playing very weak Brown eleven this coming Satur- day, the football attraction for this section of the state should be the Crosby -Naugatuck game to be played at Hamilton park. Neither team has any chance at champion ship titles, but that fact will not detfact one whit from the rivalry that will be in evidence when the teams line up for the opening kick of Saturday. A victory over Cros- by Saturday would make all the difference in the world to the Grey hounds and their supporters. For- gotten then would be the 1926 de- feat at the hands of Wilby and the 7-7 tie with Torrington. "Beat Cros- by and all will be forgiven" could very easily be the slogan expressive of the feelings in the borough this week.
 At Crosby too, the desire to whip Naugy is intense. A. month ago Crosby looked a better club than Naugatuck. To-day the rivals look more nearly even. Crosby will most certainly not want to lose a game now that several weeks ago looked to be in the bag. There never was season, however, in which the well-known 'bag" con- tained so many holes, and there is no doubt at all that Crosby coach- es are earnestly, if not frantically, at work to prevent this game get- ting away.
 A review of the Crosby -Naugy series during the regime of Coach Schofield at Crosby, shows seven games played. Of these seven, Crosby won two, Naugatuck one, and no less than four ended in ties. These results indicate more elo-. Quently than words how amazingly close and how desperately hard fought are the battles between these long standing rivals. In 1929, Coach Schofield's first year at Crosby. the game resulted in 6-6 tie. In 1880, the year when Crosby was recognized as state champion, the Blue and White took the Greyhounds 19-0. That was the year Ike" Kern, Albie Burke, Ed McGrath, Jimmie Fryer, Herb Col by, George Mulligan, Ned Herr, Ed die DiNapoli, Joe Phelan, Mike Martone and Howard Finkenzellar starred at Crosby. The year 1881 saw another 6-6 tie, a battle marked by the fine playing of Kern for Crosby and George Goodwin for Naugatuck.
 The season of 1882 saw Nauga- tuck taking an 18-0 victory from a Crosby eleven definitely inferior to its predecessors. That was an off, year for Crosby, as only a single touchdown was scored in the sea- son, and that was enough to hold Wilby even. (Wilby rooters who are figuring Wilby by two or three touchdowns will do well to pondCr over what happened Thanksgiving day, 1932).
 In 1883, with Vince Renzo carry ing the mail for Crosby, and Dick" Tuckey and Frankie Edmonds scia- tillating for the Greyhounds, two tie games were played. The flrst at Hamilton park resulted in a 6>6 count, and the second played in Naugatuck wound up in scoreless tie.
 Last year with Crosby possessed of one of the high ranking elevens in the state, and Naugatuck ex- periencing an of year, Crosby won decisivelyJ by a 33-0 score. Four ties in seven games must come pretty close to being a rec ord, and some of those ties occurred when one or the other was very definitely a favorite before the game. Previous results during the season have ordinarily meant little when these two teams face each other, and Saturdays game will probably be of the same nature. games last Saturday in good con- dition. There have been no reports of injuries from either school, al- though it is possible that Pachul- ski may not be able to be at his post at right end for Crosby. He received a leg injury in the New Britain game which may keep him on the sidelines for some time.
 Crosby officials announced to-day that tickets for the game may be procured right away at Biener's Sport Shop and at TempletQn's. The price of these tickets is 30 cents. Student. tickets are on sale at the school for 25 cents. There will be but one price at the field. and that will be 40 cents. Those who purchase their tickets early will received the benefit of reduced rates and will not have to stand in line at the park. So. get your tickets early.
