The Chasers are paired with the Waterbury Manu- featuring, fourth place team, and there is trouble for the Metalmen there. too, as the Manufacturers are but seven games of the pace.

TORRINGTON GAN TAKE OVER WITH WIN OVER WILEY
High School Rivals Clash Tonight on Local Court;
 Tech at Han1den

If the truth were known gener- ally, relative to the sizzling race among a. half dozen teams for the 1940-4l high school basketball cham- pionship, both Torrington and Wilby, which meet tonight for theh first time this season, as well as Bristol, have secret ambitions to wind LID with the state title as well as the distinction of being the best team in the Naugatuck Valley league. Of course, Naugatuck, nursed to high point of efficiency which brought them successive wins over Crosby and Wilby is very much in the pie ture, too, for it is tied with Tor ringo;n for the valley lead and may be right i9 the thick of the fight for the state title when the teams are going down the stretch in March.
 Thriller-Diller?
 Tonight, one can confidently ex- pect an excellent hoop game at the Wllby gym. with the odds slightly on Torr.ngton, which has beaten Naugatuck in the borough, the Foley FusilierS having beaten Wilby, since losing to the boys from Jimmy Lees home town.
 Lee did not like losing that game In Naugatuck, but had nothing but praise for his lads for the fine battle they put up before losing by a four point margin. Now, with Sonny Rnaldi, Red Wailin and Al Reagan nearly eligible, Wilby losses from now to the close of the season, should be few and far between. None o1 the trio, however, are eligible for tonight's test with Torrington. where they would come in mighty handy.
 Other Games
 Leavenworth goes 10 Hamden to- night, in charge of Coach Bill Tracy Tor a game with Eddie Donnelly's club. The local Tech team has been up against it this season, hay ing little class and then scheduled With some pretty tough opposition, though 1t is now class "A" school, que to registration and number of students, and there is little that can be done about it, until some real ma- ter1al comes along, for both Coaches Tracy and Jarp O,Neil know their basketball and can teach it.
 Crosby's next start is in Bridge portt omorrow night against Warren Harding the team that surprised the state with its victory over Torring- ton. Crosby can win that game and probably will, Hardings flash in the pan to the contrary notwithstanding, unless the Schofield squad decides to try to win the game with 40 minute exhibition of one-hand shoot ing, which it tried against /Nauga- tuck and yet stayed within six points of the winners.
 Tonight's Torrington- -Wilby game will be officiated by the Miller Walsh team of Middletown that worked the Crosby -Wilby contest satisfactorily.
