TO AVENG Is
TO 0 DEFEAT

The largest crowd ever to wit.
ness high school football game
In Waterbury Is the prediction for
Thanksgiving morning when Crosby
and Wildly meet at the Municipal
Stadium on WATERFOWL avenue.
Playing their annual Turkey Day"
contest at the new Stadium for the
first time a huge crowd is certain to
be on hand. Many will be there
drawn by the desire to see the
Stadium. Many more will attend
who annually come out to see this
most colorful spectacle of the whole
season, and many more students
alumni and football fans In gen.
eral who are interested In high
school football. With wildly stock
taking tremendous rise because
OF its victory over Leavenworth,
with a seating capacity Of 5000,
and with good weather, o record
crowd is certain to be on hand
when the whistle sends the boys
away at 10 a. m. tomorrow morn
ing.
Seats went on sale at recess time
yesterday at Crosby and Wildly and
IN 20 minutes nearly 1000 tickets
were disposed Of. The sale was con-
tinued today and It was anticipated
that both schools would dispose Of
their allotments of $500 each.
Tickets are also on sale at Bierners
and can be procured today for IS
cents. The price at the gate will
be 30 cents for adults and Is cents
for those under n. The wise ones
will provide themselves with paste
boards early.
Wilby's chances were again i'm
proved yesterday when It became
known that Big Bill Marzolis, pack
ing 800 lbs Of beef, Crosby's left
tackle will probably be unable TO
play. Suffering leg bruise last
Thursday. the big Crosby tackle
said nothing until Monday, when
the injury became painful. Every
effort is being made 10 bring him
around. but the chances are that
big Biz will watch the game
from the sidelines.
Excitement was running high at
Wildly the past two days, and hopes
went soaring that the Wildcats
would upset Old Ivy in the same
fashion as the Leavenworth Tigers
were handled last Saturday. The
trusty right arm Of Jack Brickel,
who rifled two passes into the end
zone for IL points against Tigers Is
the main hope Of the Wilbyites
with Brickel filling the air with
passes, the hope Is that one or two
Of these may be completed and
result In score. Tip TO the victory
over Leavenworth, followers of the
Green had been pretty glum, but
when the news was flashed that
the Wildcats had clawed the Tigers
In shameful fashion, even old Nut
meg Pete, who years ago became
discouraged roofing for Wildcat
that seldom proven better than a
tame old pussy ON Thanksgiving
morning, reused himself to the ex-
tent Of again going into print on
the subject Of the Wildcats VS.. The
Crosby Bluebells. Well, those Blue
Bells gave the Wildcat many O
stomach ache, and despite Wilby's
triumph over Leavenworth, the
prospects are not too bright for
wildly tomorrow. At least, that Is
the belief over at Crosby. Over
there, confidence reigns that Crosby
will take Wildly. not as Grant took
Richmond, because 1t really took
Grant a long time TO take Rich
mond, but that Crosby's march
through the Wildcats will be
reminiscent Of Sherman's march TO
the sea--something to talk about
for long time. After Thursday.
Nutmeg Pete can go back and
hibernate again for a long time.
Rallies were held at both schools
yesterday and today and the student
bodies at both institutions will turn
out nearly 1907. Crosby Is anxious
TO avenge the defeat Of last season
when the Wildcats were victorious
for the first time since 1928, and
at Wildly the resire Is to make 1t
two straight. Wildly succeeded In
accomplishing that feat In 1927 and
1928, when Ted Bullin was direct
ing Crosby and Jim Lee was coach
at Wildly.
The officials for the game are Dr.
Mortimer OHara, Eddie Hart and
Fay Vincent.
Remember, fans, 10 a. m. Is the
time for the kickoff.
