Basketball bugs, not only from the west end and central part of the city but from several other sections will be on hand Sunday afternoon to see the Waterbury Olympics and the West Side Speedboys in their first game of an elimination to decide the championship of Waterbury. The game, set for o'clock at the central YMCA will be preceded by a lively preliminary, Manager Eddie Kushlis of the Olympics announced.
 Endurance will be a prime factor in the game, the West Sides to depend on speedy offense coupled with plenty of shooting while the tall Olympics should be able to spread strong defense, though the West Sides will have to stop Bill Sweeney near the basket if they intend to win. Tonight the West Sides go to Hartford for a tune-up game with the Capitol Alley outfit while the Olympics are in East Haven tomor- row night for game with the strong Jeffs, who will come to Waterbury later in the season.

MAY HAPPEN TONIGHT IN M. s. 6. BATTLE
Farr Odds Up Again at 21A to Louis Says Jim
 "MOre Dangerous"
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports EditOrl

New York, Jan. 21.-CUP)-James J. Braddock, having passed several crossroads in a career which has included winning and losing the worlds heavyweight boxing cham pionship, comes to what may be the final one tonight when he meets Tommy Farr of Wales in a 10-round bout.
 The Welshman, who surprised everybody but himself by going the route ill title fight with Joe Louis last summer, was 21a-1 favorite over the Jersey IriShman. The odds are an almost exact mirror of opinion of fight experts who have viewed the principals in their month-long workouts in the nearby Jersey hills.
 For every qualified observer who liked the chances of the popular former champion, there were two who favored the Tonypandy terror Moreover, those who favor Farr were almost unanimous in picking him to win via the kayo route Should Farr score knockout it would end Braddock's career. At least, that's what Braddock says, and while many do not believe it., the angle becomes one of several which are expected to bring to Madison Square Garden an attend ance of 15,000 and gate of $8O,OOO.
 Regardless of the outcome, to- nights fight is almost sure to eliminate one of the principals from the heavyweight ranks. Although Braddocks might change his mind, it is likely that he would quit for good if he were to be knocked out or widely outpointed. And if Farr should lose he would do well to retire to the British Isles as he would never again be a drawing power in the states.
 Selecting Farr as the winner seems logical. Discounting entirely his showing against Louis which was rated all the way from a masterful exhibition to 8 miserable bit of back-peddling, Farr has shown in training a real fighting ability and an almost unbelievable improvement in ring style. Braddock, however, is the same lovable gent, whose train ing camp appearances are smooth performances but definitely undis- tinguished.
 Farr used up more than a dozen sparmates during his stay at Sum- init, and it was not jst ballyhoo. His daily sustained slugging through SIX or more rounds amazed the fight writing crowd.
 One of the principal disSenters to the choice of Farr was man who has beaten both. Champion Joe Louis, who lifted the title by a knockout victory against Braddock and defended it against Farr, rates Braddock the stronger, tougher and more dangerous" of the two. While Louis was careful not to openly name Braddock the probable winner, he did admit he would choose Farr as the softer touch if he had to step in the ring with either man tonight.
 And so the fights shapes up as one in which anything may happen. It might be Farr and it might be Braddock. It might be the hottest Slub session in months with an early kayo or it might be a dreary, protracted pit-a-pat tiff.
 The fight is tentatively scheti- uled to start at 10:15 p. m. Clem Mccarthy will do the talking over the N. B. c. network. Farr, 24 years old, IS expected to weight 2O4. Brad dock, 32, may come in at 1e7

Chase Co. BO10ling League Notes

Wonder where some of the men who used to bowl in this league years ago are? There was Big Jack Ray nor who bowled with this league well over twenty years ago. Jack devotes his time to the Dusty league con- petition after being forced to the sidelines due to an injured shoulder. Eppy Gagain, slways good pinster in the pinches. Eppy, we hear, hasn't rolled ball in over two years. Snappy Joe Lovallo who had the habit of creating league records. Joe has forsaken the alleys for a year to fully recover from an operation Another man who used to rate among the top-notchers in bowling, Jack Phalen, has retired. ED Smith, the star bowler of yesteryear on the Office team, we hear, has quit the alleys for golf and he's good at that, too.
 Ronald Keith, after a two years slump, hit his stride last week against the Millers, and finished with 383 three game total to tie Ducky Richmond.
 Oh, by the way, last week we fol- lowed Dick Richmond when he fin ished his first two boxes and To, and behold, we caught the great Rich mond in the act of washing his hands with a prepared lotion which helps him to put english on the ball. We inquired what the penalty of do- ing thing as Richmond does and will hear from the czar of bowling next week before any action will be taken.
 There was plenty of discussion. John Shaw, after delivery, his ball which by the way was more than half way down the alley, when ball fell off the return runway and rolled across the alley in front of Johns ball. This ball didn't come in contact with either the pins or Johns ball. We say that John should not throw the ball over, but after some argu- mant Capt. Harold Tucker of the Yard team allowed him to do so. Many were of the opinion that John should bowl over but as the ball did not come in contact with Johns ballthen he should get whatever pins were knocked down instead of delivering another ball.

A large crowd is expected to watch the North End "" Colle- glans go after their 11th win of the season tonight at the North End " when they oppose the crack Lemko Boys Club of Ansonia at goo D. m.
 North End fans are familiar with the Boys Club array which showed It's wares against the "" Varsity sunday afternoon handing them a 62-52 defeat. The game will go far towards settling the issue as to the better team between the Collegians and the Varsity quintets.
 The Collegians will be sorelv handicapped in this crucial contest by the absence of their rangy cen- ter, Robbie Leece, veteran North End "" star who is on the shelf for a month at least with a recurrence Of the sinus trouble which kept him out Of basketball last year.

Senator Vandenberg is distressed at

is cherishing third-term ideas.

with alarm, mitigated only by the
satisfaction he feels at having detect

appears to be reactionary in New York
radical in Kansas and all-oer-the-lot
il Illinois.
Let me confess that the director of
publicity for the Democratic Nation
al Committee is far behind Senator
Vandenberg in information as to the
third term probabilities or possibili-
ties. To the best of my knowledge, and
have some basis for the statement,
the President has never discussed that
subject with any human being. That
includes political conferees, family,
personal friends. Indeed, he has not
even talked it over with Frank Kent 3
mythical source of deep-down stuff,
who is wont to whisper in Mr.. Kent 3
flexible ear the innermost, and even
unspoken, thoughts of the man in the
White House.
Just for Guess
Of course, 1 am entitled to guess
and my guess is that Franklin D.
Roosevelt would take "a case of the
hives rather than four years more Of
the headache that being President
means. 1t will not be so easy choice,
at that. Circumstances might arise
that would make it impossible for him
to lay down the burden. The world
may be at war, with or without threat
OF our involvement, or some other
equally acute emergency may eventu-
ate that would forbid change Of adj
ministration, and the man in the
White House is not the kind of indi-
vidual who would let his personal de-
sires interfere with what seemed to
him to be his duty. So, to elaborate
my surmise, let me suggest that even
President Rooevlt lacks the informa-
tion Senator vandenberg thinks he
las. In other woraA he could not say
today. cen he wer& 20 inclined, that
he would or would not be candidate

Naugatuck, Feb. 8-The local Uscoes will again be in action to- morrow night on the local Y. M. c. A. court against the strong St. Cyril Quintet of Bridgeport. The main game is scheduled to start at 8:3O with 8 fast preliminary featuring the Y Leaders opening at 7:30. Fritz Klambt will handle both games.
 The visitors coached by Jack Meade, Warren Harding High school mentor, will present one of the strongest amateur teams in the state. Their lineup consists of all former Harding High school players, only more experienced and rounded out then the average high school player. Coach Meade, by keeping this unit together, has more finely developed his famous zone defense and blocking offense, the keynote of all Warren Harding championship teams of the past, and will provide local fans with another thrill packed game.
 The locals are out to avenge a three-point defeat suffered in the Park City early in December and, after their 10 day layoff, will be in good shape for this tussle on the Y floor.
