N. E. Y. COLLECIANS
 M EFT STILLMANS

Coach Jim Horrigan will send his North End 'Y" Collegians into &C., tioN tonight to seek their 11th vic- tory of the season against the crack Bridgeport Stillmans at 800 D. m., at the North End hut.
 This will be the second appear ance of the clever Bridgeport array at the "Y', as they defeated the Varsity by one point in their first game on the North End court, breaking a string of five consecu- tive victories.
 The Collegians will be strength ened by the return 70 action of rangy Bob Leece, high scoring cen ter, but his presence may be offset by the absence of Lou Chestone. Ricky Ricciuti and Herb Leece will play the guard posts, while Bob Leece will be in his usual spot at Center, with Ossie Petrone and either Ken Kelly or Jimmy Dame- lio at the forward positions.
 This game will be the first of four within week for the North End five. Tuesday night they will face the crack Bridgeport Middle Street Boys Club at Bridgeport, and Thursday they will meet the Irish Americans of New Britain at Ma than Hae gym in New Britain. Rounding out their slate for the weeis is tussel with the New Mill ford Farmers for next Friday night at the hut. Henry Jacovino will referee tonight's game.

DEMPSEYC COMING TO NEW HAVEN
Ex=Champ to Referee Fitch; Beattie Bout
 Next Week :.

New Haven, Jan. 28-Jack Demp- sey, the idol of the ring fans, will be the third man in the ring next Thursday night when Connecticut fight fans converge upon the Arena for the return bout between Babe Beattie, Montreal knockout artist, and Georgie Fitch, dusky New Ha- ven heavyweight. Dempsey packs a lot of color but he'll have hard job of stealing the show.
 Beattie has insisted that his con- tract for the return bout with Fitch contain 8 clause promising him fight with Al Gainer if he wins. And Connecticut fans who have waited these many years for someone to feed Gainer sleeping powder will be pulling for the Irishman from Montreal.
 LaROsa "Sore"
 Johnny Lasinski, popular Mer.den mauler, will fight Casper LaRosa, New York whirlwind, in a compan- ion eight rounder. LaRosa has a habit of stealing Arena shows. Two years ago he dropped an unpopular decision to Cocoa Kid here and then trimmed Johnny Rossi, only to re- ceive a draw. Because of this, La- Rosa refused to come here until he learned that Dempsey would referee.
 Julie Kogan, clever Hill Hebrew again moves up in class meeting Joe DeJessas, hard punching Havana lightweight. DeJessas made his de- but in New York month ago, win ming sensationally.
 Tony Costa, Rhode Island Portu- guese youngster who was a great favorite of amateur fans here two years ago, will fight in the other six rounder against Snooks Lacey, the smart New Haven fighter who is bidding for New England cham pionship bout. Frankie Young, idol of New Haven's downtown section, will fight in the opening four rounder.

ments. Something tells me that somewhere out here there must be at least one sober minded deer or antelope who has some regard for the future, and refuses to spend all his time playing. And as for the no discouraging words business, you can't tell me that if went up to the chief of police and asked him if he thought I could make go of a little counterfeiting plant, he'd say:
 "McLemore, you got something there. wish you all the success in the world"
 I'll have to admit that l haven't seen cloud out here yet. But the very fact that Arizonians know what cloud looks like is proof that there was one around here at one time CT another.
 Another thing I want to look into is the lonesomeness of the cowboy. If the songs that are sung about them and by them are true, whel, the ycompose the most unhappy forlorn group of workers in the world. Their voices are laden with sorrow. Did you ever hear cow boy sing Hitting, well-fed, and con- tented tone? I never did. And never hear done sing a song with a subject any lighter than that of the one in the fine melody, Tn the Baggage Coach Ahead.
 AS far as can gather from Cow boy songs, cowboys are always either freezing from the cold or passing out from the heat, or perishing from thirst, or standing by with tears in their eyes while their faith full horses answer the final call from eating too much loco weed, or Step- ping into gopher hole, or defending their riders from attacks by wild animals.
 Moreover, the cowboy apparently has to endure all these things alone The songs never picture him in group with other cowboys. If this condition is true, I think it is high time the public spirited citizens oi the western communities, or the government, or somebody, steps ir and builds play centers for the cow boys, where they can gather of an evening and have some fun. Oi course, volley ball, bean bag, and shuffleboard aren't much fun, but at least they are more fun than sit- ting in a bunk house, all alone, and playing doleful tunes on a doleful musical instrument.
 I'll have to call 1t 6 day, now pardner. One of the boys from the Bar B Square T Ranch just rode over, hell bent Tor leather, and told me band of rustlers were working down in Coon Gulch.
 Pour some gasoline in Old Paint boys, and I'll be rich with you.

RANGERS FAIL TO
 CATCH HUB BRUINS
(By United Press)

The New York Rangers bid to join Boston at the head of the American division standings in the National Hockey league failed last night when they were beaten Az by Les Canadiens of Montreal.
 Goupille and Joliat tallied in the first period to give the flying Frenchmen lead they never lost. Drouin and Seibert scored for the winners in the second. New York goals were made by Dillon and Shibicky. The outcome gave Les Canadiens firmer hold on second place in the Canadian division, and left the Rangers still two points be- hind the Bruins.
 Detroit's campaign to overtake the Chicago Blackhawks begged down when the Hawks came from behind to win a 4-3 verdict.
 Johnny Gottselig tallied the tying and winning goals with less than five minutes to play.

s. R. 0. SIGN OUT AT NAUCATUCk
 FOR H. s. GAME
TOrringtOn Game Tickets Sold Out for Tomorrow
 Night

Naugatuck, Jan. 28 - This rub Der town was always one that lent hearty support to championship high school teams and although some thought this spirit died during the past lean years where cham pions here went to other than high school outfits, they are learning they were wrong, the spirit was only dor mant.
 And now it is being manifested to great extent. Which is just an- other way of saying that all the tickets for the Naugatuck High-Tor- rington High basketball game here tomorrow night at the "" have been sold, and if there was Suffl- cient room, double the number could be sold.
 Fans Wake Up
 The local ticket supply was ex- hausted yesterday by noon-time. The loyal fans, of course secured their tickets early but those who have not followed the Garnet teams for years since the days champion ships were the common ana expect ed thing here, have at last awaken ed to the realization that this years outfit has the makings of cham pionShip quintet. So they want to see the game tomorrow. Torrington is the closest rival of the Garnet in the Naugatuck Valley League and if the Naugatuck team can chalk up a triumph tomorrow night, it will have virtually a firm grip on the Naugatuck Valley League title.
 Naugatuck has beaten Torrington once this year but ln the past two games it has not displayed the form of previous encounters. There seems little doubt but that the outcome of tomorrow's tilt will remain un- certain until the final whistle blows.
