WILDCATS AND NEW CITY SQUAD CLASH TUESDAY
Game at Wilby Gym; LO- calls Surprised Nau-
 gatuck 36-27

Fresh from their greatest win of the season, which took place in Nau- gatuck Saturday night and gave them the valley league hoop leader ship. Wilby's able collection of Wild- cats is on edge for a meeting to- morrow night with the only club that could beat them this season. Torrington, a tight two-point loser in Naugatuck has beaten Wilby in the New City, the only squad able to turn the trick in Wilby's nine starts, which is why the Wildcats are on top of the heap. They can, of course, be just as easily knocked off that lofty perch. but the odds can be laid that the diminutive Samele, who scored 16 pomts against Wilby in Torrington, will be lucky to get half that number on the local court, unless he has another one of those nights when his long shots are dropping through, and is not guarded closely enough.
 On Their Game
 On their current form, Wilby should even the count in games won against Torrington, though a tight tussle is in prospect, and 1t could happen that some other Aor- gington boy besides Samele may break out in a scoring rash and help beat Wilby in Waterbury as Samele did in Torrington. On the strength of Wilby's nifty win in the borough Saturday night, the Tor rington game tomorrow night should draw 1900 fans with ease. Whether 1t will or not, is something else again.
 Wilby also goes to Ansonia Satur- day night while Crosby takes on Hillhouse in New Haven tomorrow night, and Leavenworth plays two home games this week, Middletown coming here Wednesday night and Hamden Friday night. Middletown has never played in Waterbury be- fore while Hamden lost a three point game to Leavenworth tn Hamden.

FREE THROWING WINS FOR REDS,
 BEATS SIDERS
West Haven Club Takes 45.4l State Go; Locals
 Miss II of IS

Inability to convert free throws, tthe easiest shots in basketbalD into points cost the West Side Speedboys another hoop game in the state league. and chances of a richly deserved victory over the un- beaten first round winners, the West Haven Red Devils at the YMCA yesterday afternoon before a good -sized crowd.
 Making less than half of l8 char ity losses, the Siders continually put themselves "in the middle" by their weakness from the IS foot marks, as they outplayed and out- scored the strong visiting entry in a close first half, though the Devils came on to earn a 36-32 edge going into the final heat,
 Good Man
 Herky Rubinstein seemed to be the difference between Q win and loss for West Haven. Though cap- tain of the squad, he did not start himself and when the Siders got off to flying start on three quick hoops, the Devils were jittery, and far from their best form. Rubin stein, e veteran of 27 seasons went in, played more than three periods to the finish, got himself 2 points, did nice floor job on defense and best of all steadied his team mates so that they put on a scoring spree in the third period to go ahead after training 20-2l due to Stan Grey's basket just at the whistle. A tough 53-5l game the night before also had the Devils off their game e bit, but they closed fast and though the Speedboys stayed right with them on field goals, the win ners made good on Il of IS free throws while the locals wasted II of l8. Damelio, Wilmot and Stollar were the high-scorers, Grey chip ping In a nice defensive game while Ray added 5 points to the count.
 In prclim, the "Y" Black Knights took an easy 46-3l game from the East End Robins.
