NEW YORK, Sept. l3.-The Ma

ment under which the N. H. L. will

The governors talked at length
about immigration regulations to
enable players on the Canadian
teams, Toronto Maple Leafs and
Montreal Canadiens, to pass over
the border without trouble. Nothing
was disclosed as to what steps are
being taken.
There will not be any difficulties

Rod and Stream

The Potomac River slowly is clear
ing and it's quite possible that over
the week end the waters will be good
for bass fishing. Both the Potomac
and Shenandoah are slightly cloudy
today, but above Harpers Ferry some
good water may be found in the
vicinity of Williamsport, Failing
Waters and ShepherdstoWn.
This is the best period of bass
season and it will continue until
the weather is too cold for fishing.
Bass have left their summer hide
outs in deep pools and can be found
in shadows along the banks and on
the grassy bars. Several good catches
have been made at Aqua Greek re-

IT isn't necessary to use live bait

summer. Plugs serve just as we'll,
and. of course, fly fishermen are
in their glory when the fish are
close to the surface.

game. Both teams are tied for the
league lead, with z wins in 8 games
played.
wildly will be the under-dog
against a high-scoring Naugy ar
ray for two reasons, the first, be-
ing q distinct disadvantage of the
borough "Y'' gym which is long and
narrow, although the Wildcats have
done well for themselves in the
past when opposing Naugy In Its
own back yard" The second reason
for Naugatuck's choice is the strug-
gle that Wildly had to beat Warren
Harding earlier this week, needing
an overtime period to defeat
team that was figured to be 10
points weaker than the Wildcats
this season. Just before the Harding
game, last Saturday, Crosby winner
of but two or three games all sea-
son knocked off Wildly by 1881 in
decided upset.
Due to the limited seating capa-
city of the borough YMCA gym, not
a ticket has been sent to Waterbury
for sale, even Wildly students being
left out Of the picture as there were
not enough tickets for Naugatuck
High students. A crowd of 45O will
pack the place tightly.
Crosby VS. Tech
At Wildly gym, many of the Wildly
students will take in the Crosby
Leavenworth game tonight, which
will result in tie for the high
school championship" if Crosby
wins as it is favored to do, since its
great job against Wildly just week
ago. On the other hand, Leaven-
worth has taken on much con-
fldence since beating West Haven
and Crosby needed an overtime per-
iod to beat Leavenworth when the
two teams last met the Tech team

not guard q set-up play.
