Naugatuck high will be CroSby's opponent at Hamilton Park Satur- Gay afternoon. Coached by Con. necticut's Grand Old Man., Peter Foley, the "Greyhounds" can be ex- pected to give Coach Bill Scho- fields club one of the hardest bat- ties of the year. Naugy and Crosby are rivals of many years standing and many times that riv- airy has reached fever heat. For years on the eve of the game, Nau- gatuck scribes took particular de- light in publishing all the scores in this series from way back around 1900. Needless to say the record was very much in favor of the teams from the Borough. It was horribly one-sided, with Crosby vic- tories able to be counted almost on ones thumbs. Beginning in 1924, however, the trend changed, and since that time victories for Crosby have outnuinbered those of the Greyhounds. In the past 10 years however, there have been a surpris- ing number of tie games when these teams have met, indicating how bit- terly fought these contests are.
 This season Crosby has piled up a record that on paper might indicate slight edge over NaugatucE. How ever, they have met no common op- ponents and no worth while com- parison can actually be made, how- ever any edge that Crosby might have had has disappeared during the past few days, when an epide- mic of injuries has descended on the squad. Charlie Foster star ball carrier and punter, is definitely on the side lines with a severe knee in- jury. Foster was hurt last Thurs day, and has not donned @ uniform this week. He probably will not be in shape to play football again un- til the Wilby game on Thanksgiv- ing, and may be out for the entire season.
 Fosters position is now filled by Gallulo. a l30 lb. dancing dervits, who is a shifty, tricky ball carrier, but lacks weight. 0allulo was banged up in yesterdays scrimmage and retired to the sidelines. His in. jury may not be serious, and he should be In there Saturday.
 At the right halfback post, Mar. golis Is definitely out of the Nauga. tuck game with injuries, and his understudy Jimmie Day s on the sideiines with 6 bad knee. Margo. lis has Q multiplicity of injuries which yesterday relegated him to the side lines. Mancini, a second- string fullback is being tried at righthalf, Adomaitis at fullback has an injured leg, but Is still carrying on, and Pete McSherry, quarterback Is nursing an injured arm.
 The line is still intact and all the regular linemen will be able to start Saturday. The situation in the back field is serious, however, and Crosby's strength has been very ma. terially impaired. A week ago, the local team would have started fa- vorite. Today prospects are by no means rosy. No team can win with its regular backs on the sidelines.
 At yesterdays scrimmage, the second team made use of Nauga. tuck's spread formations, and re- peatedly passed and ran for long gains against the first team. The failure of the regulars to stop r.:ese plays was most discouraging to the coaching staff, who are now looking forward to the game Saturday with genuine alarm. Naugatuck played Wilby to a l3-l3 tie two weeks ago. and everyone knows that Wilby has a real football team this fall. With so many regulars injured, Crosby
 will do well to escape with tie.
