.NAUGATUCK MEETS
 STAMFORD TONIGHT

Naugatuck, Feb. % Coach Pete Foley's Naugatuck High hoop team is out to get revenge tonight when it meets Stratford High, which gave it its worst beating this season, at the local "Y" at 8:30.
 6tratford has q team of rangy players and is expected to dwarf Naugatuck. The Garnet is counting heavily on the fact that where 6tratfords zone type of play was quite efiec.ive in the earlier game on the much smaller stratford floor, 1t may not prove to be much a fine defense on the larger floor here.
 Each team is entered in the Glass A basketball tourney and Q fine contest is anticipatd tcnight.

BY HARRY GRAYEON NEA Service Sports Editor

BY HARRY GRAYSON
 NEA Service Sports Editor New York, Feb. 2s.-Some of the Johnny Come-Latelys are calling Ernie Shore, the great defenseman, NIT. Hockey.
 They forget that Curtis Lester Patrick, head man of the New York Rangers, is Old Man Hockey Himself.
 Lester Patrick has rewritten the rules to such an extent that he now is the walking rule book of professional hockey. Patrick, the most successful man in hockey, thought of the money- getting playoffs, which have been copied by minor league baseball. He eliminated body-checking i nto backboards. He is responsible for the three areas of the ice, and the forward pass in the center area. He made it permissible for goal- CTS to pass forward in defensive areas. His legislation permitted forward passes in attacking zones. He removed restrictions from for- ward passes in all areas. The pen- alty shot, a spectacular addition, was Patrick's.
 FIRST PLAYED ON VACANT LOTS IN MONTREAL
 Lester Patrick and his brother, Frank, were two of the finest de- fensemen who ever played the game.
 They were promoters who were not afraid to take a chance. Lester Patrick was a master sales. man .. sold hockey to business men.
 The Patrick brothers were the empire builders of the glistening game. The Patricks and Art Ross, now and for years head man of the Boston Bruins, first played hockey on the vacant lots and flooded side walks of Montreal, where they grew up together. It was the Patricks who took the game on its first im- portant step to the Pacific northwest. It returned east a major sport.
 Lester changed many old-fash- toned ideas about coaching and long

for something like $SO0,OOO. Boston got seven athletes for $50.O0O. inc cluding the still fiery Eddie Shore, who came from Edmonton. The Blackhawks paid Sl00O00 for i4 players. Detroit bought Lester Pa- tricks Victoria Cougars for $l00,- 900.
 Lester Patrick became general manager and coach of the Rangers. He now is vice president of the Madison Square Garden Corpora tion.
 Patrick doesn't get less than &2O,- 900 yearly from the Garden and cashes in, handsomely by writing and speaking on hockey. Lynn and Murray Patrick, his two sons who star for him on the Rangers, net close to 5000 between them.
 Without Lester Patrick, hockey might still be a back yard game in Montreal.

 CREMOS TOMORROW

New Britain, Feb. 28.-The Dan- bury Guards will meet the New Bri- tain Cremos here at the Stanley Arena tomorrow night in the local teams third game of the round robin now being held to determine the second half champion of the Connecticut State league.
 Danbury defeated the Cremos in a down state game last Sunday and although the local i've defeated the Bridgeport Springwoods here in their first meeting, 1t will be in a poor position if 1t should suffer another defeat at the hands ot Danbury.

has been the leading exponent ot the theory that a good player should be able to play anywhere. He has right-hand shots playing left wing, and vice versa.
 BUILT FIRST ARTIFICIAL RINK IN VANCOUVER
 When Lester Patrick was 19, cow- boy stories inspired him to head west. The man destined to put hoc- key on big time had had a taste of the new country when his father, Joseph Patrick, sold timber leases for a million dollars in the winter of 1911, and the family moved to British Columbia.
 The Patricks built the first arti- flcial ice plants in Vancouver, Vic toria and Westminster. They or- ganized the Pacific Coast league.
 Lester and Frank each put up $25, 900. Patrick senior produced the rest $400yO 900. The boys inter- ested outside capital. had rinks constructed in Seattle and Portland.
 Frank was the circuits president, Lester sold tickets in Victoria. Frank did the same thing in Van- couver, where he still holds forth.
 The Patricks did well while Brit ish Columbia was enjoying boom before the World War.
 They struggled along thereafter, but finally were forced to join hands with the Western Canada league. HAD CROP OF GOOD
 PLAYERS TIED UP
 The Patricks lost considerable money in their far western venture,
 It was a break for them when their old friend, Art Ross intro- duced hockey in Boston in 1924-5, and the late Tom Duggan and William V. Dwyer put the New York Americans in Madison Square Garden the following winter.
 Players were in great demand when the Rangers made their bow in New York, and Red Wings in De- troit, and the Blackhawks in Chi ago in the campaign of l926-7.
 The Patricks had many of the better players tied up in western Canada.
 The Patricks sold their interests

TODAY'S
 SPORT PARADE
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Stan COrrespondent)
 Hollywood, Feb 2s.-(UP)-Jim. my McLarnin's got enough and had enough. -
 He isn't fighting anymore.
 There isn't promoter with a big enough bankroll to entice the form CT welterweight champion back into the ranks of the fighting men.
 The onetime Baby Face Killer" has fallen for two baby faces -his wife's and that of his daughter, Ellen Kathleen.
 Golf and gardening have got him, too, and around the Lakeside Coun- try club he is better known as squire McLarnin" than champ"
 He would rather fuss around his garden at home, take Ellen Kath- leen for 8 walk, or play 8 dollar Nassau with couple of pals, than get $40,00O for sticking left hand in somebody's face or knocking them stiff with a right to the jaw.
 I saw Jimmy today and asked him about the offer he had received from Promoter Mike Jacobs to fight the winner of the Henry Arm strong Ceferino Garcia bout in New York later in the year. He didn't answer right away because he had 8 big putt coming up against Johnny (Tarzan) Weismuller. He holed it for a 75 and his grin when he took two dollars from Johnny was wider than any ever saw him put on after winning in ring. For a moment expected him to execute the famous cartwheel he always did after winning Q fight.
 "There isn't any offer could get that would make me change my mind," he said. T told you 8 cou- ple of years ago I was finished with fighting and meant it. Lissen-1 had more than my share of that business"
 He did at that, too. I didn't real ize 1t until Jimmy told me sitting in the club, that he started fighting when he was 12 years old.
 T weighed just 62 pounds when I had my first fight" he said. T wasn't even a paperweight. was an amateur then, but started light ing for a living when I was four. teen and had just eighteen years Of it. Unless you've been fighter you can't possibly understand what a long, long time that 1t. Starting at 62 pounds kept fighting right llrl- til I weighed 145. In my time I climbed a hundred times or more into the ring against fellows who didn't have but one aim-to knock my head off."
 McLarnin's fights weren't against setups, either. Sitting there in the club we figured out that he fought no fewer than B champions of the world at onc time or another. There were Joe Click, sammy Mandell. Bud Taylor, Barney Ross, Tony Can- zoneri. Al Singer, Lou Ambers, Fidel Labarba. Young Jack Thompson. Jackie Fields, and Lou Brouilliard, to name a few. And there was a fair country hitter by the name of Billy Petrolle, too.
 McLarnin loved 1t in those days those days of walking out and standing toe to toe and slugging until something fell. But those days are gone.
 "I1l take my fights now over the radio or in the newspapers or in seat back around the fifth TOW. That's the comfortable way" he said. Tn fact, it's so comfortable that that '- the way I am going to watch Armstrong and Garcia go for the middleWeight title"

pompadour effect, achieved with soft
inverted rolls, helps to build out the
width and to foreshorten the length of
her face. There is deep wave in the
thicker portion of hair that sweeps
back from the right side of the front
part, and this wave swirls all the way
to the back. The fan-like flares that
sweep out from each ear. designed to
give her face the illusion of more full

head, like a Greek youths of classic

snugly over your coiffure. This type of
hat is given dignity this season with
flowers and tiny nose wells. The helmet
type of hat also makes good foil for
an oval face. And you can relieve the
severity of such hat with curly mop
peeping out just under the edge. If you
like to wear an off-the-fa face turban,
frame it with coiffure that curls out
ward all around your head and hat in a
pompadour roll.
