.CADETSL0SE TO OSPR|NCWO0DS
Foul Shooting Gives 36-2S Edge-St. Johns Here
 Wednesday

The Boys Club Cadets were again subdued yesterday this time. by the leading team in Bridgeport, namely the Springwoods. The Cadets again were hampered owing to their stat ure and speed by the conditions and size of the playing court and the particularly of the referee who call- cd 25 fouls against the young soldiers 2 of which were technicals. The home towners jumped of to an early lead with the aid of good foul shooting and held the lead throughout. Trailing by 16 points at half time the Cadets came back strong and were within tying reach, but the banishment of Sheehan and Damelio crippled the offense and defense as well. With the score at 32-28 and few minutes of play the Springwoods put the game on ice with two disputed field goals. Macey getting 2 of 8 fouls was the chief eo-gether of the Bridgeport team, while Dainelio and Matty Sheehan were conspicious for the Clubbers.
 Wednesday night at the club sur face the Cadets take the St. Johns Big Five, who recently showed on the Poli stage. This will be return game and the Cadets are pretty well assured of defeating the Big Five here having only dropped one game to-date on their court. Tn their first pairing the Cadets were defeated and this will add to the interest of the contest. Score:

GENTS AND WELLES
 TO MATCH HOOPS

Apparently the Gents of the Hill basketball team is the key to what could be & very sensational situa- ton, and an even more expressing contest for the championship of the second round of the senior league of the Washington Park commun- ity house.
 Tonight at 8 o'clock the Gents stack up against the Welles. who have not as yet been setback since the second round came into being. Five of the other teams have only been defeated once, 50 if the Gents can pull victory out of what is sure to be an inspiring contest. there will be six teams in first place. While the Gents are smarting under the effects of unexpected defeat last Friday at the hands of the Com munity club, the Wclles state they will have their full roster on hand, including a couple of stars who have been playing with other teams during the season.
 Following this game, the Hill Juniors will meet the Robins in what is expected will be a win for the Juniors. Neither team has been very successful in its campaign of the second round.

Big Test Against Hartford Friday-Won 6 of 8
 First Places

Working up to its peak form for the toughest test of the season, Friday night at the local pool, the Crosby high school swimming squad took an easy fall out of Bassick high in a state high school meet Saturday at the Crosby pool, taking six of eight first places and walking of with a 47-28 count in its favor. On Friday, the opposition will be much more severe, for Hartford high has a team that Coach J. o. P, Manherz of Crosby ranks with the best in New England schoolboy competition this season. On the other hand, Crosby has won six of seven league meets during the sea- son and in Povaliaits and Mccoy has two of the lest schoolboy mer- men in Connecticut or Massachu- setts. In Tyler, Hartford has a great swimmer and his test with Mccoy will be a feature of the 8 D. m, meet.
 Bassick was able to gain first places in only two events, the 12O yard medley and 100 yard back stroke, Smith of Crosby just being nipped in the latter test. The sum- mary:

Strong New City Combine Meets POli Troupe on
 Local Stage ..

Pointing for their basket-making task in this city Wednesday night, the Torrington Fashions won in romp from the Mitchell House combination of Hartford yesterday afternoon, the game drawing a small crowd due to inclemency of the weather, though the fans who were on hand saw plenty of action. When the New City combine comes to Waterbury this week to match hoops with the clever and high-scor- ing Loew-Poli outfit, the game will bring together two of the outstand- ing teams in Naugatuck Valley com- petition.

 Yesterdays game ended 32-22 in favor of the Full-Fashions, which indicates a good scoring game in this city, for big scores have dominated most of the play in which the Tor rington array has shown this sea- son.

 In Pavlikovic, coach and guard of the team, and former Fordham and Torrington high star, the visi- tors have a distinct threat on both offense and defense, which Mc- Laughlin and Frank Beauty can be depended upon in the scoring de- partment, with Jim Tracy of this city as a strong pivot man and Lindsay, Richard. Hoystradt and Gameilli, all former Torrington high standouts. For the local conl- bine, it will be interesting to watch the visiting defense try to hold Tony Calland, Moon Stetkowicz and Bill Sweeney in check with Matty Shee- han, Dick Tuckey and Kraft also figuring In the proceedings.

WATR- Ramblings
(By JIMMIE PARKED

After four seemingly endless days in bed, staring at a very bland and uninteresting ceiling, I'm just be- ginning to realize what 8 truly great blessing radio is to this world. Tell me, if you can, what shut-ins used to do with those dragging hours be- fore the magic of radio brought them music, news, drama, and compan- ionship at the twist of dial. And the strangest part about it all is the fact that those people who work day in and day out to bring you those radio programs are usually much too busy to even realize the service they are giving. I'll never forget the time, about year ago, when the telephone rang just after a broadcast. The voice of relieved mother came over the wires. "Thaflk you" she said, flor playing that selection for my sick boy. The doc tor said he frightened up as soon as he heard his name come over the air and he even looks better Yes, it's true story, but to the an- nouncer who did the lsindnsS, 1t was just part of the days work. If you tried to praise him for it, he would probably pass it of with shrug of the soulders and say, II seen my dooty |. and I done it."
