Boys and Girls in State League Contests on
 Auditorium Surface
( Special to The Democrat)

Terryville. Feb 4--Following 10 days of rest, which is thought to have aided the players consider able, the St Casimir's basketball teams of this place swung back into action last evening on the Auditorium floor against the strong Rockville teams in State Polish league contests.
 The St Casinnir's boys team after getting off to poor start early In the season seem to have hit their stride and have been turning In some fine exhibitions during the past few weeks. Coach Benny Truzkowski has put the teams through several workouts during the past week and feels confident that the locals will be able to add another victory to their credit which would help them to climb in the league ctanding, as a vic- tory this evening will enable them to come from eighth to seventh place, passing out Union City, which now holds seventh place.
 Rockville is one of the strongest teams in the league and has sever- al outstanding players on it's ros- ter. The preliminary contest this evening starting at 7:30 o'clock, will bring together the Rockville lassies and the Terryville girls, in a contest that should be packed full of action. The Rockville girls, last years champions, give prom ise of repeating again this year as they will invade Terryville this evening with but one defeat in 10 starts. The local girls have been lowing a good brand of ball and many fans feel confident that the locals will be able to take the measure of the visitors.
 On Wednesday night the St Casimir's boys and girls teams will journey to Bristol to meet their old time rivals the St Stan islaus five of that place.

PaWtucket Loses
 to Naugy High

Naugatuck, Feb 4-Pleased with their 35-23 victory over the Paw tucket High school basketball team In Pawtucket, k. I. Saturday night, the Naugatuck High school hoop flve returned home yesterday. They are scheduled to play Ansonia, which beat them several weeks ago on the local "Y" floor, in Ansonia next Saturday.
 Russ Weaving and Henry Loman carried the burden left by the ab- sence of Frank Edmonds, ineligible star, Saturday. The former swished the draperies from the field seven times and added one foul goal. Lo. man got five field goals and three fouls. Their combined total was enough to trim the Pawtucket quintet but Anderson. Bergin and Waite added some more points to the local score.
 The Naugatuck attack was too fast for the home team and the To- cal defense men did not allow the Pawtucket five enough time to get set to shoot. Naugy led at half time 10-9.

General funds were available for athletics until several years ago. Bingham indicted fear that unless physical training for freshmen and other phases of the athletic pro- gram might have to be dropped. Bingham blamed the practice of making gate receipts finance whole athletic programs for the contin- uance of overemphasis in college football.
 Surprises
 "I thought we were getting away from football camps for pre- season training, but they are com- ing back. l felt also that the Car negie Foundation report had elin- mated the professional coach whose main ambition was to acquire the best material, and whose ideals were such that he was socially ostracized off the playing field, but even some of our best people now have him in their fold. 1t is diifi- cult to solve these problems if the budget must be balanced by gate receipts alone, for, if this Is the ultimate In college sports, the goal of course will be a team that will bring in gate receipts"
 Binghamt who recently picked Richard c. (Dick) Harlow as first non n-graduate head football coach to succeed Eddie Case, said he be- lieved "our teams should play to win, that I cannot subscribe to a system where occasional failure to win 8 football game means the sacrifice of a competent coach."

Dempsey Learned Lesson

Willie Meehan, the flat slap stick comic, took four-rOund de- cision from Jack Dempsey shortly before the Man Mauler battered Jess Willard to crimson pulp. Dempsey was lax in training for only one start, and in that one tho late Bill Brennan taught him a lesson he never forgot.
 Repeatedly harassed by Obscure adversaries in crossroads engage ments, Sammy Wendell had the speed of Jimmy Doolittle when he turned on the juice in the more important spots.
 Class was required to bring out that of Lew Tender, daddy of southpaws. Joe Lynch collected more bruises and abrasions against supposed setups than hc did in nights of desperate warfare with Pete Herman, little Jack Sharkey, Midget Smith, Abe Gold stein, and numerous others who applied pressure.
 Of the more recent crop, Can- zoneri and Kid Chocolate had the faculty of drawing fine lines in bouts with inferior opponents, without making the job too hazardous.
 But, as Willie Ritchie points out. a real fighter has to fight real fighters to get sizable purses. Tho old lightweight champion rarely tackled any but the best, even In making two comebacks.
 "I figured that I was better or against a first rater," asserts Ritchie. "I knew what to expect from him. Unorthodox boxers make finished workmeh appear clumsy, and there's no sense in a good fighter cracking his hands on the head and elbows of some awkward fellow who has little be- sides a cast iron jaw and a buck skin body"
 Johnny Kilbane was content to let the rounds roll by when he had nothing to worry about, but de- clarcs he wouldn't if he had 1t to do over again.
 Ut is when you are loafin3 that they catch up with you,' re- marks Kilbane, succinctly.

 The Taft hockey team conquered the hitherto undefeated Kent ag- gregation 4 to 9 at Watertown Sat urday.
