GILBERT SQUAD
 VS. CREYHOUNDS
Naugatuck Strong Choice to Win 10th Game To-
 night-Central Next

Naugatuck, Feb. 12-The fast stepping Garnet basketball team is favored to chalk up its 18th straight triumph of the season tonight wher it meets Gilbert high of Winsted al the local Y. M. c. A. Naugatuck de- feater Gilbert very early in the sea- son by 55-27 score in Winsted and has improved since then.
 The only danger that faces the local outfit tonight is over-confi- dence and asting coach Raymond Foley will guard against that. De- spite the fact this will not be a Naugatuck Valley League game and therefore Naugatuck cannot capture the title it it should win tonight, a large crowd is anticipated as interest in the team has increased rapidly the past few weeks.
 The Garnet will next week under go what many think will be its last real test. It will meet Central High of Bridgeport in the Park City Tues day. Naugatuck edged out Central here and unless the Garnet is up to top form, Central might beat them out. The only other games on the Garnet schedule are Wilby here Feb. 19 and Warren Harding here Feb. 26. Wilby lost to Naugatuck in Waterbury and the Garnet should trim them here. Naugatuck edged Harding in Bridgeport but should do better on it's home court.
 A preliminary between reserves of both teams will start at 7:30 tonight

COLLECLANS LOSE
 TO NEW BRITAIN

Rallying strongly after a first half deadlock, the crack New Britain Boys Club Varsity defeated the North End "Y" Collegians 44-36 at the North End hut last night in 8 thrill packed game which had a large crowd on edge throughout.
 The Hardware City boys played strongly, getting away to 60 lead, but two baskets by Lou CheStone and one by Ricky Ricciuti tied the score. The score was tied at half time 15-15. With the locals de- fense primed to stop Johnny An- drusia and Nick Capodice, leading scorers of the visitors, Johnny Web- Der came in to steal the spotlight in the second half, scoring 15 points to add to the he scored in the first half, totalling q points for the evening.
 For the Waterbury boys. Bob Leece played great ball game and received & great ovation from the crowd as he left the game in the closing minutes. Herb Leece made some spectacular shots in the Sec- ond half to keep his team in the running, but it was all to no avail as Webber kept putting In sensa- tional shots. The win for the New Britain Boys Club squared the home and home series between the two clubs, the Waterbury team winning away from home, 2S-26.

CUNNINGHAM IN
 NEW MILE MARK
Kansan Sets Record Over Unbanked, Indoor Track
 at New York

New York, Feb. 12.-UP)-Glenn Cunningham, veteran Kansas miller won his speciality in 4:15.2 at the 7th Regiment track and field meet last night.
 It was the fastest time ever reg istered here for the distance over an unbanked, indoor track, and broke the fat-f1oor armory record of 4:18.2 set by Abel Kiviat 9 years ago. Cunningham finished 25 yards ahead of Baline Rideout, North Texas State Teachers college, who was timed in 4:18.1. Rideout was 10 yards ahead of Lou Burns, intercol- legiate mile champion from Man haitian college. Ray Mahannah of Drake university was fourth.
 Jim Herbert, negro middle dis tance star, remained undefeated for the season by capturing the 600- yard invitation, with an eight yards margin over Charles Beetham, former Ohio State ace now repre- senting the New York Curb Ex- change A. c.
 In a special intersectional match relay race, a New York foursome composed of Lou Collado, George Tucknott, Jack Harley and Harold Lamb won by 20 yards over the North Texas State Teachers quartet of the twins, Elmer and Delmer Brown, Wayne Rideout and Alvin C.lrisman. The winning time was 3:34.4.

League Leading Cleveland BarOnS
 Oppose Eagles

New Haven, Feb. 12-The New Haven Eagles renew two of their most bitter hockey feuds over the weekend. Tonight, they journey to Springfield for another -four point" game with the Indians. They return home tomorrow to play Bill Cooks Cleveland Barons, leaders o1 the leagues western division. There should be plenty of fire works in the Baron's last appear ance of the season here. A week ago, Bill Cook, the Baron's man. ager, put on a uniform and took the Ice for the first time this season; for the sole purpose of atoning for a walloping that Frankie Beisler gave his young brother, Bud, the last time they played in New Haven.
 Cook slashed BeiSler with his stick, putting the New Haven de- fense man out cold and opening a cut over Beisler's eye that required four stitches. Hostilities between the Cook family and the New Ha- ven players almost broke out anew after the game.
 Bill Cook probably won't dare to don a uniform tomorrow night in the Eagles home stronghold; but if he does, the New Haven players are saying that he'd better put an extra pair of pads on.
 The game will start, as usual, at 8:30.

PLANS SHAPE UP FOR '3S AGAWAM
 TRACK OPENING
Brennan and Shea to Work Again; Town Got
 $4O,OOO Taxes

Springfield, Feb. 1i.-Its reorgan- ization plans approved and prac- tically completed, Agawam park, the toy track in the suburbs of this city, will hold its fourth annual race meeting from May 28th to July 9th, inclusive.
 The little track enjoyed its first fully successful season last year, and since that time, much work has been done in strengthening it's po- sition. For one thing, some $40,00O in back taxes was paid to the town of Agawam, and the federal gov- ernment was paid for back taxes.
 For another thing, Paul Bowser, famous Boston wrestling promoter and prominent figure in harness racing, has invested his money and his promotional genius in the track. A few days ago, at a special meet ing of the stockholders in Boston, Bowser was elected member of the board of directors and vice-presi- dent of the Agawam Racing and Breeders association.
 Good Team
 It was announced today that Ed ward J. Brennan of Baltimore, gen. eral manager of Agawam in it's first successful season, has been given a contract for this year, and that c. "Ty" Shea, racing secretary last year, will also return in that same capacity. Brennan and Shea are graduates of the Maryland school of horse racing, and between them, they gave the racing fans of western New England splendid meeting last year.
 General Manager Brennan spent ten days recently at fair grounds in New Orleans, and is now at Hia- leah park in Florida, lining up thoroughbreds for the 33-day meet ing. Last year, most Of the thor oughbreds which campaigned here were from the Maryland tracks, and the Agawam meeting was a pale carbon-copy of the Havre de Grace and Bowie meetings, with few of the half-mile tracks of Maryland thrown in for good measure.
 Stall applications for more than 250 thoroughbreds have already been received by Brennan in his jaunts through the South, and with the start of the meeting still more than ten weeks away, it already seems certain not only that the thousand stalls will be filled to capacity, but that scores of new stables and new silks will be seen for the first time in Western New England.

Hillies, Gents In
 PlayOff Tonight

The biggest basketball attraction of the year on Washington Hill will be staged tonight where three championship games are billed to be followed by dancing. AL though the Crosby -Wilby game is also scheduled for tonight, the fans of the Hill are more interested in the game between the Raymond Hil- lies and the Gents for the cham pionship of the first round. Both teams have dropped games in the second round and with the pos sibility of neither team winning the final round they are both looking forward to winning tonight so as to earn the right to play the winner of the second round for the cham pionship of the league.
 Ready To Go
 Both teams will be at full strength for the big game tonight with the Hillies to depend on Freddie Sul- livan, Tommy Lacilla, Roy Bates, Johnny Martin, Red Quilter, Frankie Darlington, Nick LaRuSso, and Joe and Pete Pomponio to bring home the bacon while the Gents figure they will take the Doughboys over with the following men: Bob Grady, Joe Quilter, Skip Goodwin, Johnny Thompson, Joe Cunha, Joe Bowey, Herby Colby, Ike Ciariello, Frank Tehan and Joe McKenna.

NORTH END TIGERS
 DEFEAT ST. JOES

The North End Y Tigers became the first team from the Y hut to defeat the St. Joe Holy Name Jun iors last night, at the St. Joe floor by a 28-26 score. The Manners tal- lied first when Meyers popped from the center of the court. The Y boys come back and led at the quarter, 8-6. A sensational side shot by Celentano put the Tigers out front, 16-14, at the halfway mark. Smooth passwork and bril- liant shooting by Place and Santa Lucia enabled the Tigers to lead St. Joe 24-16 at the end of the third quarter. In the last period the Tig- CTS only scored 4 points to ten for St. Joes, but the Y boys staved off last minute rally by the Manners to win 28-26. Place and Calo were brilliant for the Tigers, while Meyers stood out for the Holy Name Cagers. This evened up the series, the St.. Joe boy previously defeated the Y boys 25-23. The rubber game will be arranged by Manager Tom Santa Lucia in the near future.

TODANS SPORT&.PARADE MAR%hIbD
By HENRY McLEMORE

lOHlteu fTcSS Stdu OOTIcSpOuucHtJ Daytona Beach, Fla, Feb. 12. (UP)-Just when it was feared they were slipping and would not be able to make much of defense of their free-style daffiness championship in 1888, the members of the New York free-style daffiness champion ship in 1888, the members of the New York boxing commission came through with a reassuring bit of Tom-foolery.
 refer, of course, to their recent statement of policy in regard to the training activities of Tony Galento New Jerseys Fighting Falstaff." :" They issued it shortly after Galento, on being informed he had been signed to fight one Harry Thomas, announced that he would do all of his training in the pub which he operates, and that his chief muscle builder would be that reliable old tonic, flagon of nut brown ale.
 AS if to confirm this training pro- gram, Galento called in the photog- raphers and had them snap him in the act of fortifying his constitution for the coming battle with Thomas. The cameramen, after they had had a beer or two to sharpen their eyes for the delicate job of focusing, shot" Tony from every possible angle, I. E,-with a beer in right hand. |. with beer in left hand. '. with beer just hitting gullet. . |. arranging pretzels. '. diSarranging pretzels. .. . tapping a keg |. putting on bartender's apron. . taking of bartender's apron. They also snapped Tony doing his road work, which consisted of running from the free lunch counter at the front of the bar, to the hard-boiled egg department near the back of the pub.
 We'll, sir, when these pictures were published the boxing commits sioners threw three fits (not at one another, unfortunately and after a solemn conference behind locked doors declared that Galento would not be allowed to train in his pub, but must go to regular training camp; also, that he was forbidden to be photographed in the vicinity of bar or with tankards of ale in his hands.
 Such a ukase didn't make sense. Not much, anyway. The natural suppoSition is that the commission CTS barred the pub photographs on the ground that such pictures were harmful to youth. Of hand, I can think so no sterner warning to youth than a life size picture of Galento and his beer. No one wants to look like Galento-not even Galento-and while the beer might not have given him those acres of avoirdupoiS, the hint is there and very strongly.
 AS for training in tavern, I feel that it affords just as much cultural atmosphere as does your average training camp. No one ever went to a training camp for the feeling of serenity and sweetness that 1t gives; not twice, anyhow. Most of those l have viSited-and the list is quite an imposing one-were operated strictly on the survival of the fittest theory.
