SHELTON SHUT OUT BY NIMDLE
 TECH TEAM so
Meet Manchester Here Eri- day Night; WiIby vs Gil.
 bert, Crosby at NOrwaIk

LeaVenW0rCnS Tech football Ti- gers, 1940 edition, got off with a nice big step on the right foot when they shut put Shelton 60 Saturday at the Municipal Stadium and will have plenty more on the ball this week Friday night, when the stronger Manchester High squad comes to town for game under the lights at the municipal stadium on Water town avenue.
 A special program has been plan ned by Leavenworth for the occasion to make the Tech-Mid ddletown game one of the outstanding high school sports events of the early football season.
 On Saturday afternoon, Wilby,s 1940 Wildcats will scramble around the stadium field for the first time against Gilbert High of Winsted a 6 to 2 loser to Junior Republic Sat- llrday. The same afternoon this week, Coach Bill Schofield of Crosby will trundle his Blue and White squad to Norwalk for an opening of the season game against Ike Kerns Norwalk Clamdiggers. Kern was a student and player of the grid game under Schofield at Crosby before he went to Colgate and learned plenty more from Andy Kerr, once he had real idea of the fundamental" of the game which he learned at Cros- squads coached by the professor and by from Schofield. Now the two pupil come to grips this week. Scho- field is confident that Crosby will make good showing after testing his Blue-White lads thoroughly in a practice game at Ansonia 8 few days back, while Kern always" comes up with good team.
 Worked Well
 LzaeSky, Leavenworth co-coptain and Nick Santopietro combined eff forts in "hot" third period to bring L,eavenworth its first victory in its first game of the season a 60 win over Shelton Saturday. Nothing hap pened in the first half aside from some back and forth football but, despite weather too warm for foot ball the Tigers came to life in the thidr heat, moving to the Shelton 35 with the aid of a 15 yard roughing penalty. In the final period, Techs line stood up SO well on the three yard line after an intercepted pass that it prevented 8 tie or possible defeat when DeMarco, Shelton quar- terback snared pass by Santopietro intended for a Teach receiver, and wound up inside the Leavenworth five yard line before he was downed. Santopietro made a valuable inter ception in the final period when Shelton passed in Tech territory. Broncnaro of Shelton made 8 50 yard run in the second period which brought him to the Tech 30, but the lads from down the valley could not get much further, losing the ball on downs.
 Forward passing by both teams was poor, but so was the weather. Summary:
