 Not Too Tall
 Fuzzy lack of height bothered him on the trail at first, Co1cord said, but he soon overcame that handicap In dry country, where the only scent lion left would be high on the bushes where his coat rub bed, Fuzzy would walk along on his hind legs, his body erect, muzzle high in the air, trailing on equal terms with the biggest houEd. Oc- casionally Fuzzy would tire, Col cord said, and then he would leap up on the COW pony beside his master and ride until rested.
 But it was not until the quarry was cornered that Fuzzy came into his own.
 While he was with me-" Colcord said, Fuzzy was in at the finish of two dozen or more mountain lions, 10 CT 15 bear, and three or four big Mexican tigers. He was afraid of nothing, but would charge in ahead of the hounds. I have soms pictures of him fastened to the back of the neck of 8 5O0-pouno bear, trying to shake him as cat would a mouse. I can't tell you how many times I have seen him plur ge i into a cave after a cornered lion his chirrpuppy little bark mingline with the deep-throated call of the hounds and the screams of the lion"
 Fuzzy met his death ill Mexico few months ago, but 1t took a 23O-pound tiger to finish him oil He was outside the cave where the cornered cat was trapped. Inside the big cat gave the hounds hell One by one they limpted out. torr and tattered. AS the fight progressed Colcord held Fuzzy fist. Then, in 9 final effort to escape, the tiger charged out. When he passed, Fuzzy broke loose, leaped from rock, ane fastened himself to the tigers jaw
 The tiger tore on down rocky trail, Fuzzy clamped to his lace When Colcord ard the few able bodied hounds finally caught ur with him. the tiger lay On his Slde dead. There was Fuzzy, dead too be-ribboned by one swipe Of tnS cats big pads. But his teeth Werf still locked.
 Fuzzy had died still thinking ht was a killer.

When Fuzzy could hardly walk he mingled with the big hounds, ano gradually assumed control of them When they would fight among themselves Fuzzy would break it UT by biting them on the legs.

STRONG VALLEY LEAGUE RIVALS
 CLASH TONIGHT
Local Lads to Try for Second Win Over
 BridgepOrters

Topped up to a highly-geared scoring pitch, Crosby High School basketeers will go after a second victory over Warren Harding of Bridgeport tonight at the Wilby gym, where the Naugatuck Valley league rivals will meet at 8:15 p. m.
 The varsity hoop encounter will be preceded by the usual prelim between the Reserves, scheduled for 7:15 o'clock. George Taylor, Fairfield High School athletic di- rector and former Crosby and Yale coach, who taught Crosby's current coach, Bill Schofield, his hoop fun damentals, will referee the game.
 Advance sale of tickets at Bie- ner's are set at 25 cents each, with @ charge of 35 kopeks at the gate.
 Topped TOrringtOn.
 Hardhg's attraction is based on the fact that 1t was able to hand Torrington, Valley League leaders, its only defeat of the season, though Crosby topped Harding by 10 points in Bridgeport last week, and should repeat tonight, though not necessarily by such 8 margin. Crosby is rolling smoothly now, has tried shooting with both hands on the ball, cut out the fancy stuff. and developed a zone defense that looked great against Leavenworth, though it needs testing before the stronger opposition that Harding will afford.
 Tomorrow night, Wilby and Leav- enworth meet at Wilby gym in a game that figures to go to Wilby. though Tech has not yet forgotten its win over Crosby last year. De- feating the strong Wilby team of this season, would be even more of an upset.
