WEEKEND WINS
TOrringtOn Here Saturday,
/. Wildcats at AnsOnia;
Gilbert, NOrwalk Lose

Two Of Waterbury's three high
school football teams "hit the road"
this weekend, with Crosby, a 60
winner over the strong Norwalk
high OUTFIT Saturday to be the local
opposition for q Torrington high
team that stepped out Of its class
so much last Saturday that 1t Was
goose-egged 27-0 at Agawam, Mass.
Crosby and Torrington, old rivals in
three sports, meet Saturday after
noon at the Municipal stadium for
a 2:30 kickoff.
Coach James Wildcat Lee Of
Wildly was still smiling during
Monday morning quarterback ses-
sion in Mike Conlon's den, Since the
wildly shutout Of Gilbert, WinSted
outfit that 11osed Wildly 7-6 in a
night game last season when a pass
clicked and q point was kicked IN
the final two minutes Of play on wet
grass and under lights that looked
like candles.
Coach Bill Tracy will take his
Leavenworth lads to Manchester for
q return game Friday night. Man
chester spoiled the Tech try for a
second straight win when 1t won H.
z Friday last under lights at the
municipal stadium, Tech having won
its opening game from Shelton, Go.
Excellent Line
Last Saturday, Wildly showed a
line that was on its toes every min
ute Of the game, carried out its as
signmentS In automaton fashion,
tackled hard and fast, provided fine
interference, and was alert to enemy
aerial plays. The backs did the scor-
ing, Salvatore, Wildly fullback max
ing good, on two touchdowns, one
of them neat AZ yard touchdown
run behind magnificent blocking.
Patierno, wildcat center, also played
a bang-up game intercepting pass
on the Gilbert 40 which he and his
backs then moved down to the II,
from which point Salvatore scored
with nary q hand on him hard
enough to get him to earth. Wildly
scored in every period. Gilbert was
present, but that was about all.
However, the Wildcats will get
much tougher opposition next Sat-
urday on the foreign field of An
sonia, whose lads, coached by
Boots" JAWS, gave Crosby quite a
workout. Wildly will have no walk
away though they should win in
the light Of what they showed
against Gilbert. Summary:
