 Sports Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE

New York, Sept. 11-UP)- You know it looks as if little peanut-sized guy with weather beaten face, mop of crazy hair, and who wears pair of dirty duck pants which are always threatening to fall off, may up and besmirch record of mine which the greatest athletes in the world haven't been able even to threaten.
 If he should win it, I'm sunk, for I picked him to do it. I don't suppose you remember when l did, but it was a month or so ago when I was wandering about the mid west. One day in Des Moines, being bit hard-up for story, I sat down and wrote that Grant would go further than any Ameri- can in the national tournament, and would probably meet and beat Fred Perry of England, in the final.
 l don't know what possessed me to write such thing, for I'm pos- tive I didn't believ cit at the time. As a matter of fact, l still can't quite realize that he's in the semi- final-is one of the four men left of the hundred or more that start ed out so bravely a week or two ago. For he plays such a damn funny game of tennis.
 I'm telling you the truth when l say that Bitsy doesn't have half as good a service as such gal play CTS as Kay Stammers or Helen Jacobs or Carolin Babcock. Nor does he hit as hard as they do off the forehand or the backhand or overhead. He just pats the ball back and forth like fellow play ing ping pong. Watching him play for the first time you'd swear you could beat him.
 But brother, he's tough 'un to beat. He'll keep knocking that ball back at you until you become so oxasperated you'll just wind up and knock it out of bounds or into the net or anywhere, just to end the monotony. He nearly ran Budge crazy. They'd start rally and no matter where Budge slammed the ball, Bitsy would scramble or tum- bIe over and get it. Finally, after a half dozen of his Sunday shots had been returned, Budge would get so annoyed he'd wind up and try to kill the ball. You could al- most hear the Californian say to himself:
 "I'll show that pestiferous little devil I can hit one he cant get. I'll powder this one so hard he'll never see it."
 Sometimes he did, but more off, ten he knocked it into the rough or sent it sizzling into the net. And Grant, with a sympathetic shake of his head, would skip back to the baseline to start another bit of be- deviling.
 I'm afraid he's going to whip Sidney Wood today and get into the final with either Perry or AL lison on Thursday. Yes sir, I'm afraid to death he will. If he docs well, bang goes my record. You know, a man sorta hates to see a lifetime of work destroyed in one fell swoop, as the boys in my set call it.

HUSKIES REPORT FOR NAUCATUCK
 FOOTBALL TEAM
Open Style of Play Prob able in BOrough-Open
 in MiddletOWn

Naugatuck, Sept. 11.-Fast pro- gross is being made by the Nauga- tuck high school football squad. The players are taking advantage of good weather to get in some practice for their first tilt and yes- terday they ran through plays, practiced passing and other funda- mentals.
 There is much interest this year as to just what kind of a team the Garnet and Gray will have. Last year the local team was the worst in many years, some saying it was the worst in its history. This is a pretty broad statement but the fact remains that opponent after oppo- nent just walked through the To- calls.
 Coach Foley, earlier this season, indicated his team would have to practice open football considerably in order to make up for its lack of weight but a glance at some of the 3O-odd candidates for the team shows some fairly hefty boys. Many were lost last year but among the last years men are Kudzma, tackle; Ferris, guard; Haig, guard !; Barlow, center; Farmer, Sterniak, Allen, backfield men; Fitzgerald and few others.
 There appear to be several promising new candidates. Early indications are that the team will be fairly heavy and although prob- ably not a world-beater will be somewhat better than last years eleven.
 Coach Peter J. Foley is on the job, giving the youngsters his knowledge, compiled through many years of experience. He is being assisted by his son, Raymond Foley. who is a high school in structor here.
 Coach Foley is not trying to give his team a soft schedule. Eight games have been booked already and he hopes to get three more, a total of Il which is plenty for any high school team.
 Unless more games are secured local revenue from football will probably slump this year as of the eight games scheduled, five games are out of town. The three local games will be against Bridgeport Central, Wilby of Waterbury and Warren Harding of Bridgeport.
 Local fans will not get a chance to see the team play at Recreation field until October 12, the date of the Central game, unless more games are secured in the next two weeks. The Garnet starts its sea- son on Saturday, Sept. 21 against Midletown high, new opponent for Naugy. This game will be play ed at Middletown. The dates of Sept./28 and Oct. are open and letters to fill them have been sent out. Then on Oct. 12 will come the Central game, Oct. 19 Wilby here and Oct. 26 Harding here. Nauga- tuck then plays Torrington, there on Nov. 2, Crosby, there on Nov. g and West Haven, there Nov. 15. Nov. 23 is open but Naugatuck goes to Ansonia to play Ansonia on Thanksgiving day.
