Naugy 6-5 Ouer
 Undefeated Wilby
Winter Sports Lines

Wilby at Naugatuck, Bristol at Waterbury for a game with Leavenworth is the high school basketball menu for Saturday night of this week. Naugatuck, since its defeat of Crosby has been made a 6 to 5 favorite to hand Wilby its first defeat in ten starts, only because the game is scheduled for the Naugy 'Y" gym which always holds an advantage for the borough teams because of it's odd size and leather draped hoops. Will by, on the other hand is rated third best team in the state, Naugatuck fifth in official rank ings, the Wildcats moving ahead of Torrington, when the latter was upset by Warren Harding at Bridgeport.
 Leavenworth, already beaten by Bristol, is tagged for another defeat as the lads coached by Tommy MOnahan are the num- Der one team of the state at present.

Penna also had par 72 Wednesday. Both will get a mini mum of $75 if they lose in today's match play.

Blake Johnson BO1Oling Notes

Jimmy Fitzmaurice, with a high game of 137, Dick Graham with three scores above the hundred mark and Johnny Gaurino were chiefly responsible for the Reds two game victory over the Blues, FitZ has been spilling plenty Of maple lately coming through with 122, no, two weeks ago and then tossing in that 137 game when it hurt the most. All the Reds did to win that second game was to pull five strikes from the last ten boxes, including doubles by Graham and Gaurino.
 The Stars have not been out of first place in six weeks, although three of six were spent in tie with the Stripes.
 11th Hour Heroes Two men saved their teams from a complete whitewashing with spares in the very last box of the very last game. They were Joe's Ariola and Adam chick of the Stripes and Blues re- spectively. Then another Joe Josephat Howell came through with one in the last box of the first game to win thriller from the Blues.
 Was Benny Alonzo paid off by DuHamel, who won the pool, to stay home last week when his team needed him sorely? Benny had a pretty good excuse and we don't think so, but that 87 he had to take was great handicap to the team and great help to the Stars. However, Ben promises to make up that lost ground tonight.
 The Stars and Whites clash in the feature get-together tonight. The latter team is but two contests from first place and must win three to go into the prized position. Terry White hasn't had much to say this week, but we noticed that victory starved look on his countenance.
 The Blues and Stripes met in what should provide the best bowl ing of the night. Both need vic- tories to pick up ground on the rest of the lague. The Stripes have lost six out of their last nine, but are stil lonly one game out of first place as we mentioned here before. The Blues on the other hand have showed signs of coming back lately and may pick up valuable ground here.
 The Eagles making a desperate last ditch stand to finish in the first division after a woeful start take on the red hot Reds who win just about every match to 1, but cannot seem to pick up the needed ground. If one of these teams should make a clean sweep while the leaders are cut throating each other, they may still have an out side chance.

OAKVILLE ROCKIES
 ROUT RAIDERS, 58-l7

Oakville, Jan. 1T. Wednesday evening the Rockies were defeated by the Raiders at Hopeville, 58 to IT. The Overbaugh brothers played a wonderful game for the Raiders, and scored 16 points apiece.
 Zaccaria and Seller scored six points each for the Rockies. At the end of the first half the Raiders were leading 9 to 5. At the end of the second half the Raiders were still leading 36 to 12.
 The Raiders would like to book games with any team in Waterbury averaging from 15 to IT years of age. Call Waterbury 4-8993.

The Stripes missed out on their golden opportunity to move into sole possession of first place for the first time this season and instead the Stars bettered their position by a full game. Ed DuHameps forces took two straight from the Ariola- men to take a two game lead but the Stripes quickly reduced it to a single came by winning the last match. The teams had been dead locked for the top notch for three consecutive weeks prior to last weeks match.
 Smiling Bill Germans band of Eagles continued their conquest of the first division teams by uefeat- ing the Whites in two out of three games. It marked the thirr straight week that the Birds had beaten each of the three leading clubs two out of three. Bill really has something to smile about these days.

 The Poli team is assured of at least a tie for first round honors and a win over the East Enders will give them the first round hon. ors with an undefeated record. The East End team after getting off to a slow start has been going great guns the past few weeks and are all set to hand Ed Fitzpatrick's boys their first setback. Skippy Goodwin, sparkplug of the Gradymen is back in the lineup after being laid up with wrenched knee for the last few weeks and should help the East Enders considerably. The Poli team will be at full strength for tonight's game.
 The Baldwin Props, hoping that the East Ends knock off the Poli team, will have their strongest team on the court for their battle with the Texans. The Props lost their first game last week to Poli after holding the lead until the final minute of the game only to lose out after an overtime period.

Without going into second read ing for amendment. the Territorial income tax bill was killed five-to- three. Saturday afternoon by a rampant and irresistible Senate coalition of members from the Second and Fourth Divisions, with help from the Third.
 Voting against the bill, after it had been advanced to final passage by some of the fastest parliament tary footwork ever seen in the Sen ate chamber, were Senators Edward Coffey of Anchorage, Hjalmar Nor dale of Fairbanks, c. H. (Alabam) LaBoyteaux of Livengood and o. D. Cochran and Leroy Sullivan of Nome. Voting for it were Senators Don Carlos Brownell of Seward, Norman R.

 If he had voted mo-" the count would have stood ve-to-three for Coffey's motion, which is less than the necessary two-thirds to sus- pend the rules.

WASHINGTON = Only insiders know it, but the Government is pre- pairing drastic price controls if the present .upward trend continues.
 They fear a runaway price situa- tion which would hit the pocket books of the great mass of consum- CTS And the last thing the Admin istration wants right now in a hot ccst-of- living potato on it's hands.
 So far there have been marked price advances only in few com- modities-lumber, scrap iron, and other basic raw materials. But re- gently there have been tell-tale signs of general upward movement, and some of these mysterious late-af- ternoon White House conferences have been over this problem. Three plans of attack are under considera- tion:
 l. Use of the priorities control now vested in the Office of Production Management, under the supervision of ex-U. s. Steel man Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., to deprive price goug- CTS of their supplies, thus forcing them either to go out of business or bring their prices into line.
 2. Use of the draft industry law to compel price gouging concerns to sell to the Government at fixed figure; also to freeze prices in in- dustries where quotations persist in getting out of line with what are considered fair levels.
 3. Imposition of a price ceiling on all commodities and on every step in the industrial process from raw materials to retailer.
 The last was the recommendation of Bernard Baruch, based on his ex- perience as head of the 1917-l8 War Industries Board. In private confer ences with Roosevelt and Defense chiefs, Baruch emphasized that the one big price lesson learned in World War l was that half way control measures were worse than none at all
 You must either stabilize every price or stabilize no price," he de- clared If you impose controls only at one point, you leave the door wide open for worse break away
