1aSL minute news COnCeIHhUB the game includes the announce ment that Randy Whaples of Nor wich will Officiate the contest, having been originally engaged but unable to come to town due to a load of la grippe which he is try ing to divorce as soon as he can. Records of both Crosby and Naug- atuck have not been too promising, though the Blue and White looks better on paper. However, Naugy will balance that with a speedy outfit that passes well and man, for man is as rangy as the Scho- field squad. It should be a good game from first to last, and a 35 cent charge, is a bask etball bar-- gain. Reserve teams of the two schools will meet in 1880 o'clock preliminary.

 Promising Weaving, who had tried out for center did we'll at the right for ward position Wednesday and he probably will start there to-mor- row. He is tall lad and. should prove an able player. Because Coach Foley has been forced up to now to shift various players around to determine at which position they play best, there Is still lack of that smooth ness of play which comes after long practice.
