Though Wilby Wildcats will be legitimate favorite to defeat Crosby when the two high school basket ball teams meet Saturday night in the first of two games, hoop fans who have seen the outfist in action, can be sure that the game will pro vide as many thrills as it did in years gone by, and though, Wilby has won seven straight and yet to drop a game, Crosby has done more than albright and is fast enough to make a photo-finish of every per- iod. Tickets at 35 cents can be had in advance at Biener's.
 Last night at Bridgeport, Wilby knocked over Warren Harding 32 to 26 in 8 game that proved closer than expected, though Wilby was favored. Naugatuck turned in nice effort with 50 to 38 win over good An sonia team which came to the bor- ough.
 Tn the Wilby- Harding game, the teams were tied at 10-10 when half the game was over, but the Wildcats found the range in the third heat netted II points, did it again in the fourth and wound up a six point winner. Bill Kalosky again led the Wilby scoring with 10 points, Dalton getting g.

Joe Perry the former Danbury baseball luminary made his debut with the bowling league two weeks ago and demonstrated that he has, mt lost his line of chatter that he used to use as catcher some two score years ago. Nevertheless, the boys are happy to have Joe with them.
 Father Donnelly, club chaplain, takes his boys brigade to New Ha- ven next Monday evening, and the folks of the Elm City are in for treat in precision timing and drill ing when they catch glimpse of these young lads perform their maneuvers.
 The St. Thomas Holy Name cag- CTS led by Joe Landolfi scored their first court victory at Webster school gym when they took the measure of the Danbury Gascos, one of the leading semi-pro teams of the state.

"Flash" Hollett Earned To Hershey With Mel Hill

Boston, Jan. 9-(UP)-William (Flash) Molletl, Boston Bruin util- ity player, was enroute by train to the clubs Hershey farm team today determined to return to the Ma tional Hockey League in two weeks or quit the sport.
 The popular 28-year-old player, purchased by Boston from Toronto in 1886 at a reported price of $16,- 500, baked late yesterday on learn ing that he and Winger Mel Hill had been exileo to Hershey. Hill was the hero of the 1938-39 play offs.
 Because I'm confident I'm still major leaguer, I felt like quitting when Coach Cooney Weiland told me the bad news right after prac- tice," Hollett said. After a talk with President Weston Adams, how ever, decided to do my part and give thet minors two weeks trial to see how things work out. Then it will be back to the majors or home to Toronto the way feel right now"
 May Get Back
 Adams reportediy promised to take back Hollett in two weeks or sell him to another major league club. Managers of the Detroit, Chicago and Montreal clubs have expressed an interest in securing Hollett though none apparently has offered to meet the $7,500 waiver price
 When Manager Art Ross ar- nounced the farming of Hollettt and Hill he said action was taken be- cause "they are not playing the type of hockey the Bruins asked of them." He also stated they would remain at Hershey until they do.
 The No. 2 jersey, worn by famed Eddie Shore for more than decade and inherited by Hollett this season, has not been reaSSigned yet.

STELLAR FIVE BOUT PROGRAM
 SET FOR 8:3O
Anderson, Bell 10 Give Foes Hard Fight-Mc-
 Alpine vs. Monroe
BY HUGO HOOKJAB

With all hands on deck, good weather ahead and plenty of in- oerest in the outcome of the two eight round bouts heading the pro- gram, Waterbury A. c. officials .ooked for a comfortably filled house this evening when a strong five bout presentation gets under way at 8:30 o'clock.
 Dewey Anderson, Florida negro wel,erweight, who has been one of the few boxers able to put Irish Ed- die Dolan lon the deck" will be seen against the soue.lcow boxer whose last local showing at the Municipal Stadium found him the winner over Hartford Jimmy Leo, who later knocked out the Cocoa Kid, number two welterweight in three rounds.
 Hard Hitter
 Anderson, they ray, Is not Fancy Dan, but humping punch CT capable of stopping anyone he can hit, and while Do.an never leads with his chin, he can be hit as Anderson proved when he boxed Eddie a year or so ago.
 The bout will go on about 9:30 D. m, so that workmen who have to be at the pickle tubs at Il p. m., will have a chance to see all of 1t, and possibly the serni-f-nal between Pete Koloff of Long Island and Jimmy Bell of New Haven, which shapes up as the bout on the program most likely to succeed from a standpoint of sustained action. Koloff is the choice of Nick's Nook, at about 2 to 5, though Bell can easily ruin those odds and maybe by a knockout.
 Good Performer
 Koloff is the welterweight who gave Cat Robinson plenty of trouble at Buckingham hall last October. A hard puncher, he is former arl- ateur from Thompsonville, who has been New York seasoned and Is figured more than able to cope with anything Bell, good fighter in his own right, has to offer.
 Art McAlpine, Springfield negro light heavyweight, and Marty Battling Monroe of New Yc are down for six round argument that can easily end in a knockout.
 Sid Levine, spar-mate of MaMe Berger, one of the better New York "club" fighter is down for 8 Sixer with Frankie Young of New Haven, as tough & boy as ever threw a glove.
 Mickey Gianelli of Town Plot, not Ohio makes his first local showing in some time when he gets his hands up with Jimmy Reilly of New York in the four rounder that will open the show at 8:30 or there abouts.

Greg Rice, NOtre
 Dame Track Star, Wins Sullivan Award
BY PAUL sCHEFFELs

United Press Staff COrreSpOnoent
 New York, Jan. g. (UP3 = Greg Rice, chunky little Nosre Dame ale umnus and the greatest distance runner America has ever produced went into the Amateur Athletic Union records today at the 11th winner of the James E. Sullivan Memorial Trophy.
 The award, given annually to the amateur athlete who "by his per- formance, example and influence as an amateur and man, has done the most during the year to advance the cause of SportSmanship," went to the fleet-footed former Notre Dame track captain by one-sided vote of 800 sport leaders throughout the United States.
 Rice, who stands five feet five inches on tiptoe and takes three strides to his rivals two, boiled a total of 1913 points more than the next two of the five finalists from an original list of B nominees. Al Patnick of Ohio Stase, the national diving champion, was runner-up with 800 points and Fred Wolcott, Rice Institute hurdler, next with 479.
 Cornelius Warmerdam of the San Francisco Olympic Club, who boos- ted the world pole-vault record to 15 feet 1 1-8 inches last June, came in fourth with 476 and Jos Platak, handball champion from Chicago, fifth, with 404. Points were awarded on a 5-3-1 basis.
 Although no date was set for the presentation of the trophy, Secre- tary-treasurer Daniel Ferris of the A. A. U. indicated that 1t would be on or about the time ofthe National A. A. U. track and field champion ships at Madison Square Garden, Feb. 9. Won It Quickly Rice's victory in this competi- tion is odd in only one reSpect-he won the trophy the first time he broke into tie list of nominees. Usually it is a gradual process of advancement.
 Rice, hero of the 40 indoor cam paign, was hailed as the perfect choice. He defeated TaiSto Maxi, champion Finn, in all races, shat tering the indoor two mile record with clocking of 8:56.2, and twice cracking the 15-year three-mile record with times of 13:55.9 and 13: 52.3. He won the National A. A. U. indoor and three mile outdoor 5000 meter titles and was awarded the track writers association trophy as the top athlete of the indoor sea- son.
 The sports leaders who consider ed the candidates had been asked to take into consideration acts of sportsmanship, qualities of leader ship, excellence of performance, strength of character, force of per- sonality, and high ideals of anna teurism.
 Rice is employed by a utility com pany in South Bend and his citat- ion emphasized the fact that he does not permit racing to interfere with his vocation. He usually flies to track meets after work on Fri day and is back at his desk Monday morning.
 He jo.ns distinguished group of award winners. Bobby Jones was the first winner ill 1880 and was fol- lowed by Barney Berlanger, Jim Bausch, Glen Cunningham, Bill Bonthron, Lawson Little, Glenn Morris, Don Budge, Don Lash and Joe Burk, in that oroer.

 Eddie Fitzgerald, sportsman and retired president of the society fail- ed to show up Monday night for his weekly bowling lesson but it was learned that his new saddle-horse Silver Boy threw the popular Ed for five yard loss on his morning gallop last week.
 Eddie Coughlin, who was the re. cipient of new set of golf woods for Christmas, is hoping that the snow leaves the ground at the Chase Club so that he can get head start on the boys in his golf practice.
 Timmie Shea who is captain of the setback team that bears his name is more than happy now that his team of Sullivan, Fitzpatrick, Carney and Shea have won two rounds in the setback league, and well on their way to capture the third round.
 Billie Cronin who divides his time coaching the Junior Holy Name team and managing the senior bas- ketball Club still finds enough time to take in the weekly hockey games in New Haven on Sunday nights.
 Jack Haanlon efficient secretary of the bowling league has been spend ing all his time showing his young son how to rua his, (the son's) cleo tric train. To date the little Hanlon boy has yet to put train on the track or touch the transformer.
 Pen" McDonough who has been slipping in his bowling the last few weeks has decided to let his trainer, Ace" Hamilton get him into shape for the closing games of the current campaign.
 Jackie Grout who pulled Freddie Rappelt's team to victory in two bowling contests the other lieht is more than happy that Jim i rley and his syndicate has purchased the New York Yankees baseball club. Jackie believes the new owner will see that the Tanks get back to the top of the heap during the coming season.
 Clarence "Ace" Hamilton thrilled several spectators last Sunday after noon when he put on a special fig ure ice skating show that left every one gasping for breath, at the diffi- cult featS that the Ace executed. Earl RoSsi who shed quite few pounds during the first few months of bowling gained back all the lost weight and several more pounds during the holiday and turkey sea- son.
 Jimmie Grout entered the select class of experts when he picked every bowl contest on New Years day the wrong way, meaning that Sir Grout didn't even have one vic- tory to show for five contests. No doubt he and Father Culliton will be very good pals until the next major sports contest.
