SCHOFIELDERS IN MILD TEST
 BEFORE WILEY
Two Games at Local Gym; Murphy, Pranskitis May
 Not See Action

Crosby high schools basketeers, anxious for their second clash of the season with wiIby on Saturday night get their "warm.up" game cf the week in tonights game when Pete Foley comes to town with his sometimes surprising Naugatuck 0reyhounds, winners over the strong Ansonia club last week. Wilby had sts tightener for the Crosby game last night, when 1t gailoped of with Q 17-2t decision over Gilbert of Win. Uted, leading all the way.
 Crosby, also occasionally surpris- 1ng, as 1t was in winning over Gen. tFnl last week, will be heavily fa- vored to stop Naugatuck and then 90 into the Wilby game Saturday favored to take the veteran Grove utreeters, due to the result of the first game which Crosby won rather hnndily in the final half race against the whistle.
 Tonight, 1t will be the job of the Crosby defense to stop Chaplicki, the Naugy reserve recently promot- cd to the varsity, who has put Myles Sweeney in the shade insofar 'as scoring honors are concerned for the last few weeks. Janik, . Naugy reserve and Q proven high scorer may also get his first chance as @ varsity player against Crosby, which has 6 few subs in Day, Karmen and Spadola who may break into the big game if Murphy and Pranskitis do not play the four periods.
 The reserves will swing into ac. ton ct 7:30 o'clock, and that game may easily rival or better the main contest for hoop thrills.

 SEEMS SURE OF vENz|NA TROPHY
Bruin Goalie Setting Great Record of Less Than 2
 Goals Q Game
By FRANK MURPHY

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Boston, Fob. l2 - (Up) = Cecil (Tiny) Thompson of tho Boston Bruins seemed headed for 6 mod. ern record for goal tending eflei- enoy today as he outdistanced his rivals in the competition for the Georges veEina trophy, awarded an- nuaily to the National Hockey leagues outstanding netminder.
 With . chance to make hockey history by being the frat goalie to receive the Vesina award three times, Thompson, winner of the competition in io20-30 and io32-3S, goes into tho last third of the seas son with . record of having al- lowed only B2 goals in 8 games, or on average of i.b8 goal Q game.
 Pulling Away
 The veteran Boston guardian took c big lead on his most dangerous rival, wiry Mike Karakas Of tho Chicago Blaekhawks, as the Bruins rampaged to whip the Hawks, 2 to 1, At Boston Garden last night. Kar. akas, given little protection by Q porous Chicago defense corps, was right on Thompson's heels when the game started, having failed on only b3 shots in the previous 32 games. But after the Bruins had routed the Hawks the record read:
 Thompson; b2 goals for average of i.6a In 8 games.
 Karakas; GO goals for average of Ia in 8 games,
 Norm Smith of the Detroit Red Wings, like Karakas, Q first-year man In the National league. was In third place with c record of @ goals for on average of 10 In a games, No one else was even close to Thompson, the records showing that 7i goals have been scored against tho Montreal Maroons, 76 against both New York clubs, 70 against tho Toronto Maple Leafs, and e4 against tho Montreal Cana. diens.
 On Even Terms
 Tn shutouts Karakas is tied with Thompson, each having blanked op. posing teams seven times. The vet. erans George Hainsworth has six to his credit. Hainsworth won the VeSina trophy in ie28-20, allowing only a goals In 44 games season before forward passing was intro. dused to increase the goalies' wor. rieS.
 In the six seasons since tho intro- duction of the forward pass. wins ners of the Vezina award have been, sueeessively, Thompson, Roy Wort- CTS of tho New York Americans, the late Chuck Gardiner of Chicago, Thompson again, Gardiner again, and Lorne Chabot, who brought the honor to Chicago last season only to lose his Job as result of c twisted kneo and Karakas' sensational re lief tending. Benohed oil season, Chabot recently was sold to the Canadiens.
 Of the goaitending champions iin. der modern rules Worters made the best record with c i.0e goal average In ie30.3i. On his present form, Thompson has Q chance to get un. der Rows mark,
