Los Angeles, Jan. 15.-(UP)- Peace has come to Patty Berg, and she says it's wonderful.
 The little red-head finally has lost the freckles which were as much her golfing trademark as her distance of the tee. Also, since she turned professional, she has re- leased a half dozen of her dearest friends from the tortureS they Suf- fered when she was trying for championship honors as an anna teur

SCHOOLDOY HOOP RIVALS ON EDGE FOR BIG GAME.
Both Lost to TOrringtOn By Very Close Margin;
 Tickets at Biener's'
By HUGO HooKsHoT

If Crosby's fast but fragile bas- ketball combine can stand the blistering pace sure to be set by 8 Naugatuck High team that has no love for Slow Motion, it should net photo finish victory tonight at Wilby gym, if nly to make up for the tough loss to Wilby's Wild cats last Saturday night. The law of overgaes, plus some timely SCOT ing by Kelly, Fisher and Hannon is about due to work in Crosby's favor though Naugatuck's Garlin- ski, put out of the Torrington game for rough play, and Durette should keep the borough boys right in the picture until the last whistle.
 In short, the writer believes that the winner tonight will be the team that the shots are dropping for.
 Close Contest
 On the basis of their play against .Torrington, which beat both of them, Crosby and Naugatuck are as even as two and two. Crosby was a three point loser while Torrington won in Naugatuck by four points but had to go into the overtime to turn the trick. Both Crosby and Naugy play 50 fast that they tire quickly, which means that the substitutions in tonights tilt may play an im- portant part in the ultimate out come.
 Tickets at Biener's have been selling well, as they should be, for the game, figures in advance as ex- citing as the Wilby contest proved to be. Neither coaches Bill Scho- field or P. J. Foley could be cornered for a pre-game statement, which is just as well for both like to have their teams do the talking-WIth hoops.
 Reserves In Prelim
 The usual reserve game prelim- mary game is set for 7:30 o'clock with Crosby to use the varsity flVe tarters that took the floor against Wilby for the first whistle, mclud- ing Hannon, Fisher. Kelly, Hanra- han Boucher. Fietleson and Lawlor of the reserve team may see a little service, too, while Shugrue's defensive play will also be available
