will be the closing day for most of the nations football teams, and here in Waterbury the high school s eason will end with the annual Crosby Wilby, city high sch co championship game. This game played for the past l7 successive years on Thanksgiving morning has been moved to the Saturday follow ing the holiday, in, crder that Leavenworth High may play Ham den high of New Haven, and fans should note well the change. Thou sans of residents of Waterbury and vicinity, who go to this game and no other all season, and who have come to take it for granted that Crosby and Wilby will play on Thanksgiving morning, should no- tice that those teams are not at the Stadium Thanksgiving morning, but will meet Saturday afternoon instead. The change mentioned above is creating a tremendous amount of discussion. Many dyed- in.the-wool Crosby and Wilby fans are bitter over the fact that this traditional game between the two outstanding teams of the city, Q game which had been Q fixture on Thanksgiving morning for IT years, should have been relegaled to Saturday, in order that Leaven- worth, which unfortunately has not won a game this season, should meet Hamden high of New Haven, a powerful eleven which has won the championship of the New Haven district. They maintain that the football fans of this section should be allowed to have this game on Thanksgiving Day that is of local interest to thousands of people, and that game is the Crosby -Wilby game.
 Take Turns
 Leavenworth fans come right back and insist on this right to the StsdiIn. on Thanksgiving morning on their turn. They undoubtedly have an argument, and perhaps the best argument they have, is the fact that they have the Stadium. They scoff at the term traditional game" They say 1t is the day" and not the teams, which draw crowds to the Stadium Thanksgiving morning. Although beaten by both Crosby and Wilby, they deride the "city championship" angle and maintain that a big crowd will go to tha GfodtaavaN Nsa fhaf SAarfi0sn1aF morning, even if the contestants were Podunk and Rattlesnake Gulch. They are putting on an intensive advertising campaign, have posters all over town, tickets on sale for the past week, and appear deter mined to prove that just as many people will turn out to see Leaven- worth play as will go to see Crosby and Wilby.
 There has been some talk by fac- tory workers and store employees that after Leavenworth has played Crosby and Wilby could stage their contest in the afternoon. That plan was actually proposed. but Leaven- worth objected. Offered the after noon, and let Crosby and Wilby play In the morning, the Leaven- worth officials again refused. They demanded the Stadium for the whole day. This fear of Q rival at- traction rather belied their state- ment that it was the 'day" and not the teams which drew the crowd.
 Resentful
 The situation Is an interesting one. There Is no doubt that there is an under-curTent of resentment in both Crosby and wilhy. adn per-

neither the time nor means to

we only desire to keep alive some
of the old traditions in which
eur county is so rich, and it is
hard, sometimes, to tell which is
the correct tale.
We have an old history of
Maryland which says "The Brooke
family, like the Calverts were
Catholics until a Brooke married
into the Quaker Snowden fam
ily." We turn the pages of the
same book and read: "The
Brooke family belonged to the
Church of England until a mem

with many Of these stories.

IN SIDELICHTS
BIZ ELSIE WHITE HA1NEs


It scarcely seems possible that
this week marks the beginning of
the third year for Montgomery
Sidelights-but tits so.
We appreciate the precious
things that have been loaned to
US that we might get the material
-yellowed deeds with Lord Bal
timore's seal-fragile newspapers
that we hardly dared breathe on
lest they crumble to dust-old
clippings-books long out of print.
Seldom have we asked for in
formation without receiving phone
calls or letters with the desired
data. Most of all we have ap-
preciated the corrections and ad-
ditions.
We loved the way one woman
said: "You were wrong on that
Greenwood last week-what old
Mr.. Allen Bowie Davis always
said when his driver looked
around to see what was gurgling
was "A good driver never looks
around, subj"
1t seems that we entirely lost
sight of the fact that after rent
ing Greenwood for number of
years, Mr.. David C. Craver
bought it-so it was out of pos
session of the Davis family some
years before the Washes bought
it. Mrs. George Jones who made
the correction, also tells US that
Mario" was the name of the dog
said to haunt the place.
Speaking of mistakes--we wrote
recently of J. E. B. ,Stuart-but
it came out in print "Job"
Stuart, and a member of the
Daughters of the Confederacy
promptly informed us that his
name was James Ewell Browne
Stuart. We want to inform that
Lady that we looked for a Yankee
in our organization but no one
would acknowledge being born
above the Mason Dixon Line, so
we still do not know who turned
him into "Job Stuart"
We have received some snap
shots from Mr.. Henry Howard
who recently celebrated his 85th
birthday you know-which he says
