A fifteen year old junior student of Swedish percentage, weighing le0 pounds in his stocking feet and christened Gus Bfoberg, conclusive ly proved to several hundred spec- tators ct the Wilby gym last night that when all-state selections are made in March his name should head the list.
 Scores I7 Points
 The strapping blonde, center and keyman of the Torrinston high com. bine, Naugatuck Valley league lead- CTS, scored iT points in Q 3B-26 result as Coach Connie Donahue's red and white array retained their league lead easily defeating . colorless Wil- by array, minus the services of Capt, Vito pomponio, out of action for sev- eral weeks with c broken right hand.
 Broberg looked like . team in himself. ae managed to get each tap to start the teams plays, romped around the floor gracefully and cagey, passed exceptionally well and consistently took the ball from the backboards. That In itself is 0 nights work for the average ballplayer, but he bettered his laurels with his keen eye which netted seven doubledeck- CTS and three free throws.
 Too Many Long Shots
 Wilby's offenso in the first half was noticeably ragged, the green and white garnering but one goal from the floor, Q sucker shot by young K0loslkN pinch-hitting for Pom. ponio. The green and white took plenty of shots, most of them from lnidcourt, which failed to cut the nets and which told c sorry story as the half ended with the visitors In front, 2i to 2.
 Jimmy Lees charges took BS shots from the floor, making but nine while the red and white youngsters bombarded the irons for 0S shots converting on 16. The green and white made five of Il tries from the i6-foot stripe while the Don. ahuemen registered on seven of lS occasions from the same mark.

 New York, Jan. 30.--(UP)-I Baseball heroes change with the season and stars of yestsryear are quickly forgotten, but Frankie Frisch continues to carve out for himself on everlasting place among the imnnortals of the game.
 Frisch, approaching his 18th caIn- paign in the National league will receive his third great tribute Sun- day when he Is awarded Q plaque from the Baseball Writers Asso- ciaticn of America, New York chapter, for his long and fneritorius service to baseball. He was named the most valuable player in the Na- tional league in 1881 and managed the worlds champion St. Louis Cardinals in 1884. a
 Colncidemceg
 A player who in his boyhood wor- shipped Erisch from afar will re- ceive the other award of the base- ball scribes. He is Hank 0reenberg, Detroit Tigers first basen1ar, who will be presented with the player of the year" plaque. Both honors will be conferred ct the Baseball Writers annual dinner.
 ' Awards by the baseball writers long have been the most prized of honors among athletes. With all his medals, trophies and awards Babe Ruth has only one in the livs ing room of his Riverside Drive apartment-the plaque given him by the scribes.
 Through 17 stormy years Frisch has been one of the most aggressive players In the game. He is one Of the late John ]. Mc0raw's last links with baseball. He was discovered, uttered and developed by Mc0raw. For eight years he starred for the Giants and then, in the colossal blunder of his career, Mc0raw trads cd him to the Cardinals for Rogers Hornsby in December, 1928.
 Natural Leader { Frisch carried his courageous leadership to st. Louis and tho rough and ready play of the Car- dinals under him won for them the nickname, "The Gas House Gang"
 Trisch's term as manager of the Cards has been one of the most trying any pilot ever faced. He not only had to manage . group of tef1- permental and hard-to.handle ball players, but he had to satisfy two of the toughest task masters Tn baseball, Sam Breadon and Branch Hickey, who'll fire Q manager for finishing second.
 But y'risch can't show the plaque 10 Breadon and Hickey next guisl- iiaer if the Cards start going bad, or to Dizzy Dean if he has trouble with his star pitcher. or to Joe Medwick if his hard-hitting out. fielder gets suiky. After 17 years, Frisch has to keep on delivering.
