PAN-AMERICAN
 GAMES IN 1942

 Replace Olympics

TECH ON EDGE FOR MAJOR TEST
 WITH CROSBY ii.
High School Rivals Meet for First l04O Game
 Saturday

The Ieavenworth High football squad, with two weeks of constant drilling, are ready to "take" Cros- by high when they meet in the annual intro-city scholastic grid classic at municipal stadium Sat- urday afternoon, asserted Coach Bill Tracy this morning. Coach Bill Schofield of the Old Ivy is con- f1dent that his lads will keep their string of victories over Tech ua- broken.
 Casting aside the partisan prog noStications of the coaches, a look at the records for both teams this year shows that Crosby has the edge, but a very thin one. In three starts, the boys in blue have regis tered a victory over Norfolk, 6-O, a loss to Torrington, 60, and deadlock with Bridgeport Central. 6-6.
 The Tech Tigers, also with three games played thus far, took Shell ton 60, lost to Manchester 12-7, and were blanked by Warren Hard- ing 19-0. But as always in this city-series, past records mean very little. Which ever way the game goes, 1t is certain that it will be chuck-full of thrills and spills.
 Tracy has his backfield of Capt. Frank Lazesky, Overton, Voegtle and Santopietro in tune for the scrap, and many Tech rooters are pinning their hopes on the power house combination of Lazesky and Santopietro.
 The East Main street followers are looking to George Brown to carry the brunt of the attack and are freely predicting top-sided victory to make it four straight over Leavenworth.
 Wilby High gridsters travel to Stratford for game there .tomor- TOW. Eddie Salvatoe, brilliant Green and White back, is reported in good shape after the bruising part he played in Wilby's rout of Nauga- tuck last Saturday. Capt. Dick Alvarez is still unable to play be- cause of his injured shoulder, but Coach Jimmy Lee reports that he will be ready for the Torrington tilt Nov. 2.
