Wilby Has Won
 Majority Of Games With Crosby

Tomorrow night at the Wilby gym, Crosby and Wilby meet in the first of their annual series of two basketball games. Tomorrow night will mark the 28th meeting of the local schoolboy rivals on the basket ball court. The first game of the long series was played back in 1920, when the teams met on Xmas day. There was but one game that year, but every season since, with but one exception, two games have been played annually. Of the 27 contests played, Wilby has won IS and crosby 12. Between the years 1926 and 1929, Wilby won six straight games. During those years Crosby athletics were at Q low ebb, and Wilby profited. Since 1929, Crosby has won seven and Wilby five.
 The series has been marked by many upsets. During the past two seasons, the favorite has been de- feated in every game. Tn 1884 Cros- by was strongly favored to win, by the Green came through with two close victories. Last season, Wilby was highly regarded. but twice Cros- by came on to win. This year, Wtlby is again the favorite. On the show ing to date Wilby should win. The Green and White won Q hard game last Tuesday from Harding, Q club which e week ago whipped Crosby On the same afternoon that Wilby dowr1ed Harding, Crosby lost to Gen. tral by 0 3o-l2 count.
 Comparative scores are not always reliable, particularly in basketball The element of luck enters very much into this game, and the shots which sink tonight may bound OH the hoop tomorrow night. Even N, Y. U. was defeated year ago by Yale, a club which was not con- sidered in the same class with the Violet. On previous record, on vet eran material, Wllby has very much the edge on Crosby tonight, but II Q rested Crosby club takes the floor 1t will press Wilby all the way, ano may again snatch victory.
 Rallies will be held at Crosby to- day. Support of the team has beer lacking to date, but q contest witf Wilby always draws beyond any other game on the schedule. Crosby lineup will show Prauskaitis at cen ter: Chipman, Garner, or Bedell, Q 0,,ard. Harrison and Murphy, for wards,

YANKEE DIVISION
 SHOW IS SET FOR
 THE BUCKINGHAM
AIberts and Wiley in Re- turn Bout Buff, Et-
 ters to Show

Ten well-matched amateur boxing bouts, most of which figure, on pa- per, to bristle with action, will be presented tonight at Buckingham hall as the second effort of the Yan- kee Division Veterans association of Waterbury to increase interest in the sport locally and secure some funds for inderprivileged children of association members. Tn good physical condition, though weighing 215 pounds, Joe Mobile, whose ring monicker Is Joe Steele, is ready for his first competition in more than Q year. He will square of with Johnny Craven of Manchester in the prime cipal bout of three rounds. If Cras ven cannot solve Steele's southpaw style he is In for 8 rough evening.
 Looks Good
 Rivaling and perhaps surpassing the main 30 for action will be the semi-final return match featuring dark-slkinned Pete Alberts of Oak. vile and fair-haired "Spec" Wiley of Union City, whose belting party just about proved the class of the fine initial I'D card presented be. fore the Christmas holidays. If their battle tonight even remotely ap. breaches their last effort, the bout will be worth the price of adrnis- sion.
 We'll Paired
 Frankie Buff of the South End and Butch" De sterko of Willi. mantle are paired in another tus. sle that should be O. K. to look at while Willie White of Brooklyn and Irving zeider of Willimantic are due to slug 1t out. Emile Etters of this city and Jackie Reed of New Haven are to have 1t out while Paul 0agnon of the Franco-A American club and Young Warren of Meri. den are billed as opponents. Pete Colangelo of this city and Sam Maltempo of Willimantic will box three rounds also.
 The first bout is set for 8:30 o. clock promptly, with the show timed to be finished before the radio broadcast of the Louis- -Retzlaf bout from Chicago, which goes on the air at II o'clock EST.

Wightman of Boston she again won the title in 1919. Mrs. Wight man won the national doubles championship no less than six times, her partner in 1911 and 1915 being Miss Sears. As recently as 1928 Mrs. Wightman was doubles champion with the present Mrs. Helen Wills Moody. Almost every Massachusetts, girl playing tournament tennis owes her development to Mrs. Wightman Her star pupil is Mrs. Sarah Pal- frey Fabyan, the country's No. 2 player. The Wightman cup, symbol of feminine tennis supremacy in this country and Great Britain takes its name from her.

|RETzLAFF 1 TO2O'
 ITO BEAT LOUIS. IN BOUT TONIGHT.
Jacobs Sews Up White Man for Three Bouts
 Just in Case
BY STUART CAMERON limited Preaa Gnurta Editor


 Chicago, Jan. l7-Joe Louii crown prince, heir apparent and almost everything else except cham pion of the boxing world, and Char ley Retzla6 Q hard puncher, facs each other. tonight in Q 15-rounc bout.
 The fight figures to be the most one-sided contest in recent ring his- tory. Not even the affaire Levin sky, which ended soon after two minutes of lighting" seemed, or the day of the contest, to be as soft 0 touch for the Brown Bomber as tonight's session at Chicago sta- alum. r
 Despite this universal impression c crowd of some 10000 probably will have paid out nearly $l00,00t by the time doors are unlocked. The crowd won't be Q local one, either for the promoters have sold theii wares to customers from as fal south as Atlanta and from as fal north as Alberta. No fewer thar 200 New Workers will be on hand.
 While almost everybody debate, the number of rounds the contest can last, Q few die-hards insist Retzlaff has Q chance. Chief argu. ment for o possible but improbable RetzlaR victory is the contention that he hits harder than any oi the men Louis has faced in his or1e' year climb to international renown Ring students whose opinions mus be respected insist that Q Retzlafi right carries more 1lrecrackers thar c Bear bela or Q Camera clout, ant the writer thinks this Is true. Bu' there is Q compensating doubt tha' Charles will ever set of one of these crackers, and Q greater one that 4 would land. '
 odds At 20 to
 It was 20-to-l and few. takers for an outright Retzlaif triumph Prices on an early termination with, of course, Louis doing thu terminating) varied from ever money to five-toone, depending up on the length you thought the bout could achieve, and the bookie yot dealth with. A casual average wal round one, and three-to-one that | even money that 1t would end ir would end before the bell sounds for round four.
 There is, of course, an admitted possibility that Rentslaff could vii by pure science or miracle. While there was virtually nobody wht looked for such an outcome, ther, was one man who was protected He was the man who stood to vii or lose most, Mike Jacobs of NeV York, who holds Q three-year op ton on Louis services. If the mir acle should happen, Jacobs has contract calling for RetSlaff's mex three bouts.
 Somebody waggishly suggested that Jacobs must value such Q doc urfent most highly.
 "You're not Kidding me-" Jacob said. "The garden had one on Brad dock in case he beat Baer. Tha didn't look like much, either, bu now they've got the champio! sewed up."

One of the greatest amateur box ing battles of state record wound up in New Haven last night with Jack ie Clark the state bantamweight champion of Hartford who now looks like a heavy feitherweight punching out Q clean-cut decision over Julie Hogan, winner of 37 consecutive bouts. Unimpressive in style but a fighter from head to heels, Clark went to work on the classy Kogan's mid-sectioEl early in the second round, the only weakness known about the New Haven boy and had him hanging-on for the last two rounds, dropping him in the second round after Q series of short, sharp body blows, and out. fighting him in the final heat to win the nod. The result, New Hav- eners tell me, will allow Kogan to get his hat on, as his long winning streak gave him an idea that he was pretty near invincible.

Tonight you could get 20 to 1 in Chicago that Louis will not be beat- en by Charley Retzlaft. You could have had 10 to 1 that Braddock would not beat Bear, but he did t with comparative ease. Such odds are screwy, when one considers what one punch. rightly planted can do, and they do say Retzlaff Is . murderosis right hand puncher, However, 1t looks like Louis in four rounds or less, depending upon the kind of fight given him by the white man from the Dakota region, If Louis should be beaten, Promoter Mike Jacobs has Retzlaff tied up for his next three bouts. So how can Mike lose, even if Louis does9
