NAUCY OUTFIT
 MEETS WARREN HARDING TON|TE
Injuries, Illness Effect Three Regulars; Subs
 May Start

Naugatuck, Feb. 26.-The Nauga- tuck high school basketball team will wind up it's regular schedule to- night when it will meet Warren Harding high of Bridgeport and in dications are that it may conclude the season with a defeat. The req son for this is that Naugatuck will trobably' be at far from full strength for the encounter.
 It is believed Coach Peter J. Foley will not use Lefty" Farrar who scored IS points against Wilby last week, because Farrar turned his ankle badly in a practice game with the Yale freshmen Wednesday and the most local fans hope for is that he will be in regular shape Tuesday when Naugatuck meets Hartford Bulkeley high in an elim- ination contest for the Grade A state tourney.
 In addition Bob Mariana also a high scorer this season, --turned to school just yesterday after being laid up with the grippe all week. Gene Czaplicki, spark plug for Naugatuck, has been i'll this week with cold It is expected he will be used to- night but whether or not Coach Foley will start Mariana remains to be seen.
 It seems probable that Coach Foley will not elect to gamble on any players who are not in the best of shape tonight. Loss of the con- test tonight will not greatly mar Naugatuck's schedule and Nauga- tuck trimmed Warren Harding in Bridgeport earlier in an overtime game.
 In addition using reserves tonight may give some of these practical experience which may become use- ful when Naugatuck plays tourney games.
 The game with Yale was played to accustom the Garnet to playing on a large floor. Farrar was injured on the first play of the game and despite his absence, Naugatuck lost by only a 48-35 score against a Yale team which is rated highly this year. Bill Cross was the only reg ular at the local practice Thursday, Cuddy not being able to get around because of work and the other three regulars unable to play because of illness.
 There have been rumors that Naugatuck might withdraw from the tourney but if two of the three ill players round into shape. 1t is not likely this will occur.

TWO TEAMS IN
 HOOP PICTURE
Community Club, Welles Are Second Round
 Challengers

The race for second round hon. ors in the Washington Park Con- munity House basketball league simmered down to two teams last night when the Baldwin Props were knocked off by the Community Club, 32-3O. By virtue of this result, only the Community Club and Welles re- main undefeated in the second round battle.
 The Raymond Hillies, first round champions, took the measure Of the Tribes, 49-38, in the opener.
 First Loss
 Until last night the Props had been in the undefeated class along with the Community Club and Welles. It looked like a victory for the Props last night until the clubbers took the lead in the final seconds of play. Bartolini played his best game for the Props last night, but with the score 32.30 ana Is seconds to play, he missed two foul shots which would nave brought on deadlock. Griffin and Houghie Loughlin were again high scorers for the Community Club.

 Hartford, Feb. 25-Crosby high of Waterbury has sponsored some of the best swimming talent in the state for several years, but when 1t paddles up against Hartford highs human fish, it is in the wrong body of water. Once again, Hartford. led by the sensational Jack Tyler who took two firsts, floated to 47-28 point victory over Crosby here to- day to mark up Al straight wins in four years, a record worthy of na- tional recognition. Tyler is 8 brother of Dave Tyler, national iil- terscholastic champion in the 220 swim, and 8 boy who bids fair to surpass at least some of the sensa- tional swimming turned in by his older brother. Today Jack Tyler &C., counted for the 100 and 220 free style events while Biedzycki won the diving and breast stroke events for Hartford.
 Visitors Blanked
 Crosby failed to win first place, which is a major calamity for the usually able Waterbury contingent, unbeaten this year. The 160 yard relay looked like the only Crosby win, but Thomas came through with the Hartford victory in 8 real tight fit and the very good time of 1:2l:1 Jack Manherz, son of the Crosby swimming coach showed some class which will be valuable next season as he is sophomore with con- siderable promise. Summary:
 120 yard medley relay-Won by Hartford (Morhardt, Madrak, Thomas). Time 1:1o.
 220 yard free style-Wun by Tyler GID: second, Kusalia co; third, Cady co. Time 2:22.4.
 40 yard free style-Won by Bonee GID; second, Mccoy co; third, Shaler co. Time :204.
 Diving-Won by Biedczyski GID i; second, Ahearn co; third, Donahue co. 65.18 points.
 100 yard free style-Won by Tyler GID; second, Mccoy co; third, Ku- salia co. Time 5:6.5.
 100 yard breast slroke-Won by Biedczyski GID; second, Manherz co; third, Minor co. Time 1:22.2.
 100 yard back Stroke-Won by Morhardt GID: second, Coffey GID ; third, Mark co. Time 1902.
 16O yard free style relay-Won by Hartford (Bonee, Czykowski, Mad rak, Thomas). Time 1:21.1.

Crosby Submerged Ln Big Swimn1ing Test
Hockey Leaders To Stalk Eagles at Arena Sunday

New Haven, Feb. 26-The New Haven Eagles, boasting the greatest winning streak in Connecticut's hockey history, play the league leading Philadelphia Ramblers at the Arena tomorrow night. The Ea- gles haven't lost game on, their home ice in their last eight con- tests.
 The team was hard hit last Sum- day night when Ossie Asmundsen, high scoring center, hurt his should CT against the boards. Asmundsen will not be able to play against the Ramblers but Tommy Cook, secured from the Montreal Maroons, is back in shape and will team up with AL len and Raymond.
 Goaie Paulie Gauthier, the pint sized youngster who turned in eight straight shut-outs with Minneapolis last year, has two in a row to his credit now and hopes to make it three straight against the Ramblers. Gauthier went to the hospital in January for rest and since he has returned to form, the Eagles have won nine out of the last 13 games.
 Red Doran, bought from the De. troit Red Wings, has worked all week at defense with Alex Singbush and Coach Billy Coutu hopes to have Wifi Hoch, who was operated upon for 8 torn cartlege six weeks ago, in uniform on Sunday.
 Hoch's remarkable recovery from an injury which has ended the careers of many hockey stars is being watched carefully by big league managers. If the knee holds up during the remainder of the sea- son, hockey will have found a way of beating the knee-injury jinx.
 The Eagles will face off against the Ramblers at 8:30 and capacity crowd is expected.

GREAT TRACK AND FIELD TEST
 SET TONIGHT
Seven World Records May Fall in Great A.A.U. PrO-
 gram in New York
By HENRY SUPER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Feb. 26-(UP)-Seven world records probably will topple tonight when Americas outstanding athletes turn their attention to metric distances in the 5oth Nation al Indoor Track and Field Champ ionships at Madison Square Garden.
 Sixteen titles will be at stake in the first and only major meet of the season run over metric instead of yardage distances. The forecast for records is based on the fact that tonight's meeting will attract the claSsiest field since 1883 when the Nationals were placed under the metric system.
 Star Field
 In addition, two other factors SUD- port the record theories:
 1. The field includes holders of q world records, three Olympic records, IT American records. and 16 championship records.
 2. The athletics have been so successful at yardage distances thus far this season that the metric marks, all comparatively new, should be easy to lower.
 The seven events in which new records are expected: 6O-meter dash; 65 meter murders; 1,500 meter run; 5000 meter run; and in three relays - the 2900 and 1000 meter medleys and the 1900 meter relay, In addition Don Lash, the Indiania iron horse" who will run in the 5000, has asked that special timers be placed at the three-mile mark to catch his time as he flashes by. He hopes to break the three-mile record while seeking the 5000 meter crown.
 The hurdle and dash marks seem certain to fall. In the 60-meter dash, where the record of 6.6 seconds is shared jointly by Jesse Owens and Ben Johnson, it seems likely that Johnson will retain the cham pionship with a record performance He already has clipped two-tenths of a second from the 60-yard mark this season and hopes to lop tenth of the metric equivalent
 In the hurdles, where the record of 86 was set in 1883 and equalled in 1885 by Percy Beard, two men are favored to lower the mark = Forrest (Spec) Towns of Georgia and Allan Tolmich of Detroit. Botf either have equaled or broken yard. age marks every time they ran thi season in the garden. Sam Aller of Oklahoma, the defending cham pion, isn't expected to do better than third.
 In the 1,500 meter run Glenn Cunningham, who was two- tenths of a second of his world mile mark in last weeks N. Y. A. c. meet, is expected to lower Gen Venzke's Ecromo record set in 1886. zenzke will compete along with Archie San Romani, the defending champion and others.
 Fav0rite
 The New York Curb exchange featuring Cunningham in one of the races is favored to lower records in the 200o and 1000 meter relays while N. Y. U. is favored in the 1900 meter relay.
 In all, nine titles will be defended in the 16-event meet. The defend ing titlists are: Ben Johnson, 60- meter dash; Archie San Romani 1900 meter run; Norman Bright San Francisco, 5000 meterun; Sam Allen, 65-meter hurdles; Nathan Jaeger, New York, 1900 meter walk Lenox Hill A. A., 1000 meter relay; curb exchange, 2900 meter relay; Dimitri Zaitz, Boston, shot put anc Irving Folwartshny Rhode 1slano State, 35-pound weight.

Crusaders HoopHghts
BY AL JAKUBAUSKAS

"Broney" Puzas, who is now a member of the fast stepping St.. Joseph's Holy Manners, is a former Crusader luminary, having per- formed with them last season. Although he is small ill stature. ne more than makes up for this with his fleetness of foot.
 Kristian is still living up to his recently acquired name of "Six Point Bopie'. During the past week Bop" took part in two games and in each of these two contests he tallied three hoops. Incidentally, he came through with the winning hoop against the Ansonia Trojans last Wednesday.
 The Crusaders seem to be hitting their stride again. They have won three o ftheir last four starts, their latest victim being the Ansonia Tro- jans who dropped a one point de- cision to the Liths earlier in the week.
 Allen Cutler and George Lindahl respectively the smallest and tallest performers of the Crusaders botl, hail from Oakville. They are some times referred to as the "hicks' from "Hickville". George, by the way, is an ardent K. of L. rooter who has yet to miss one of their home games this season.
 Lefty Adams, who was recently named as the most valuable player in the Naugatuck Valley amateur tournament, tallied Al points in two early season contests with the Liths In addition to starring with the St Joe's Holy Name five, Lefty coaches the St. Joes Fife and Drum Corps Junior quint, who have been having quite a successful season this year Al Krizinauskas, who had peer laid up with & bad cold for the pas' week, is expected to be back at ni forward position with the c. or L | in their next weeks encounters.
