FAMOUS PICTURES
 TO BE EXHIBITED
WhittemOre Collection 10 Be Shown Naugatuck
 People Next Month

Naugatuck, March 11-Much in- tereSt is being manifested in the announcement of the showing of fa- nous pictures from the Whitte- more collection at the Futile House April to 10.
 The paintings to be exhibited are very beautiful in themselves and have a strong appeal for students of the period and for those whose art education is more l4..lited. They represent, also, most interesting phase in the history of painting, revolt against the classical tradition in the nineteenth century art, new insight into the use of color and light and the establishment of a new method, and a courageous ad- herence to principle in spite of ridi- cule and the most violent opposition.
 Believing that the visitors en- joyment of the exhibit will be great ly increased by information along these lines, the Howard Whittemore Memorial Library has prepared brief list of books and magazine ar VAS1CO OlA llAC pCA4OS III SCllIAdlJ uliC impressionist movement and the in dividual artists. While most of this material will be loaned for home use, there will be held for use at the library, Orpens Outline of Art" volume 2, which gives good brief information and Durets "Manet and the French Impress sionists," which gives a much more detailed treatment of the subject. The latter book includes chap ter each on Monet, Renoir, Sisley, and Morisot, in addition to very ex- cellent material on Manet. The li- brary will provide for circulation, Duret's book, "Renoir" which has a chapter on the impressionist group, Vollard's "Degas," GWynll's "Claude Monet and His Garden" and other material of equal interest.
 A complete list of paintings to be exhibited will soon be available to the public.

ANSONIA CRIDDERS
 FACE NAUCATUCK

Naugatuck, Nov. 22-Can a Naug- atuck football team which has shown in and out football for a good part of the season snap the string of victories Ansonia grid el- evens have piled up over Garnet teams in the past few years? This is the question local football fans are pondering today as the annual game with Ansonia on Thanksgiving day hears. The fracas will be at Recrea- tion field this year and it is expected many fans will turn out for the affair.
 The Foleymen will be going into the game with the remembrance still in their minds of the terrific trounc- ing an Ansonia team gave Naug- atuck high team in 1886, 75-0. This was the worst beating a local high combine has ever received and the Garnet outfit is determined to Se- cure some measure of revenge.
 However, close game is expected, even though Naugatuck's record is better this year than Ansonia's. The Foleymen have five victories, one loss and one tie, but in some games have displayed excellent play and in others have showed almost a complete reversal of form.
 Ansonia is hoping to continue it's string of triumphs and fine contest is anticipated.

SLANG MAY SHOCK
 NATHAN MURPHY

Dr. 'Dropkick' Murphy, junior heavyweight worlds champion did not disappoint in his first defense of his title at Buckingham hall last Friday when he beat the classy Jack James. This week Murphy again goes in action and risks his belt matched with Tony Siano Friday night.
 A strong supporting card has been signed. Max the Panther who made his first showing this season is again on the card paired with An- gelo Leone, Italian Wildman. Sev- eral newcomers also are making their first appearance here. Michele Leone, Italian title holder and un- defeated in this country in his first bow takes on the French roughneck Frepchy Larue. George BekeraS, Lithuanian Champion is also slated for his first start to grapple Maurice Cavell, classy Frenchman. And last but not least, the colorful Patrick Corrigan returns to swap grips in another number with Tony Milano rugged Italian.
 The interest of course centers around the main attraction. Mur- phy while he showed plenty of class in his match with James, is meet ing man as fast as himself in Tony Siano, former star gridder. Tony has been a consistent winner here since the season opened. At times his matches have been close but the Fordhamite each time had enough reserve and tricks at his command to weather the rough spots and come through to win.
 Siano is just the type to surprise by upsetting Murphy. His tackle which has made him as famous on the mat as he was on the gridiron, is a dangerous offensive and when Tony let's it go from every angle, few men can stand up against the onslough. It's a great bout between two top notch athletes and the kind of wrestling which is sure to bring back the mat art in big way to Waterbury.
