HOPEVILLE BLUES
 HAVE GOOD RECORD

'Franny" O'Donnell's Hopeville Blues, winners of their last seven of eight games, are out to make a name for themselves this year among the leading junior teams in the city and state. So far this season the Blues have beaten the Baldwin Props, leaders in the Washington Park Community Club league, twice the Ansonia Rangers; the Meriden Alumni, and their only defeat was at the hands of the Washington Townies, whom they will play in a return game in a few weeks. The Blues still have few open dates on their schedule and anyone desiring games may write Clarence Dick 1268 Baldwin St. or call 47291. On the O'Donnen roster are; Charlie Armstrong, Frank Dubuque, Harvey Belletier, forwards; Carl Sandi and Louise Wiley, centers; Bob O'Don- nell, Al Casaly, Clarence Dick, Herb French and George Rigon, guards.

Championship Team HOn- Ored at Annual Dinner:
 Awards to B

Wilby high school grads and un- dergrads gathered around the we'll known festive board last evening in the cafeteria of the commercial high school where the annual football dinner was held in honor of the best team that ever represented the school, lost but two games in nine and wound up with the city cham pionship in the form of a 25-O vic- tory over its arch-rival Crosby at Hamilton park Thanksgiving morn ing. Even with such 8 background, there was a quiet, orderly celebra- ,tion, with the election of halfback Mike Mobile to lead the Wilby grid Wildcats next season, replacing Johnny zurlis, an all-state tackle this season, both of whom were re- cipients of gold engraved footballs with q others, the presentations being made by Coach James w. Lee following one of the finest turkey dinners put together anywhere at anytime, the preparations having been in charge of Miss Mary Mur- phy, dietitian at the high school.
 Speakers
 Principal Joseph P. Kennedy, Dr. J. Henry McGrath, team physician; Archie Israel, 1888, Elon college and former Wilby captain; Chick Kelley, Ken A1yta, Bill Butler of the Re- publican and American, and John Cluney of The Democrat, were in- troduced as speakers by toastmaster George Grady, a member of the Wilby faculty and former faculty athletic director of Ansonia high school. Ray Snyder, 8 standout Wilby lineman of 1924 who has aided Coach Lee considerably this past season in developing one of the finest lines in the state, and the two cap- tains, Johnny. zurlis and Mike Mobile, also spoke briefly. After the awards, all presens attended show ing of Yale game football pictures including the Columbia, Navy, Princeton and Dartmouth contests. Speakers were genefous with con- gratulations to the 1888 squad as whole, not forgetting the boys on the "scrub" team who drilled against the varsity but saw very little action during the season.
 Those who received gold footballs were John zurlis, Mike Mobile, August Bartkus, Frank McGrath, Francis Fahy, Harold Hassinger, John Harnick, Edward Bartkus, Tony Switz, R. Gualdicci, L. Rofsky, R. Duncan, George Jones, H. Dalton, A. Rigon, G. Rigon, J. Graham, R.. Alvarez, W. Movie, c. Benson, Moss, Polman and Metesky.

LEAVENWORTH
 FACES WILEY 5
 ON LOCAL COURT
Both Teams Won Last Starts-Reserves in
 PreIinl

Tonight marks the time of the first high school basketball game featuring Waterbury teams when the Wilby Wildcats, winners of it's first two games of the season and Leavenworth's Tech Tigers, victori- ous at Middletown last Monday, meet at the Wilby gym in their first hoop test at the early hoop season. The Wildcats high-scoring combination, which has run up more than 90 points in two games will be favored to win from Leavenworth team that is just beginning to find itself though the lads coached by Jake Rieger did good job against Woodrow Wilson, and could have given Bristol much better tussle if they were a little more alert on defensive plays.
 Coming Along
 Leavenworth has lost to Thomas ton and Bristol, but scored 35 points of its home floor against Wilson, showing the possibility that the Techers will give Wilby plenty of trouble tonight, as the Green and White clad lads wer. decidedly shaky in their last start against a speedy Alumni outfit, but steadied down in the final period to win going away, 38 to 29, for record of 95 points in two games. Insogna, whose IA points against Middletown marks him as a real scorer and Janusis will be the main problems of the Wilby defense, unless Evans, Leavenworth colored flash comes to life with some scoring which he has been unable to do thus far.
 Starters
 McGrath, Wilby captain and Mo- Farland will probably start at for ward; Joe Kalosky at center and Ray Duncan with Bill Kalosky in the backcourt. Karpavich and Me- Namara of Leavenworth also is apt to cause Wilby some little trouble if they have one of their good" nights. With both student bodies on edge for the game, and a public fol- lowing forming the best crowd of the season is looked for when the first whistle blows in prelim set for 7:30 p. m.

And be, as lightly as the wind,

Always have plenty Of mixing

economical to use pint jars, ex-
cept in large families where
quart jars should be used. Heat
the jars in which the fruit is
to be put gradually in a pan Of
hot water. The coverS-if glass
should be heated in the same
way and fastened upon the jars
while hot. After they have been
filled with the hot fruit, boiling
syrup should be poured over
them. Do not fill jars too full
with fruit; the fruit should
float freely. Any fruit that is
made boiling hot and put into
jars at once in the way just de-

T IS NOT so long ago since
= brilliant nails were associated
only with the pictures and
stories Of the ancient Egyptians.
We thought feet, at best, were
odd.looking things, but we had
no intention Of wearing long
stockings or Annette Kellerman
tights as they did in the Gay
Nineties." So there was nothing
to do but make the best Of it
and try to ignore the undreSsed
appearance of bare toes.
1t was the beauty salons
that gave us the inspiration to
recognize the possibilities Of toe
punishment.
They had been training
women to have pedicures, and
when the nails began to glow
with the new beauty, it was only
natural to add the glorified
makeup just as was done for
the fingernailS.
Added Touch
To T0e-NoiLs
Polished toenails, with all
their frivolous air, must be done
with some sense of costume
harmony as they may add that
smart touch, or simply spoil
your otherwise perfect ensemble.
The brilliant and dark col
ors are still preferred, but there
are so many in-between shades
to complement all colors.
For instance, one may select
the delicate pastel costume and
find just the polish to set it off.
They are the in-between shades.
such as tulip, clover and a num-
Der Of the light and natural
tints.
White Polish
Latest Thing
You may wear the bright pol
ish with all the light tones, too,
and be in the best of taste: but
be sure you keep the costume in
one tone. BY this we mean,
when you weaE a pink, do not
combine it with other colors
and then introduce a dominat-
ing red on the nails.
The bright polishes should
match the toes and fingers, and,
If you must wear other colors
with the bathing suit, then let
it be something to match the
polish. A brilliant red visor or
scarf will be nice for this repe-
tition.
Another good combination Is
white polish with black COS
tune.
