By John A. Quincy

Hardly to be considered within
the realms of reality a week or SO
ago, the 100 to / unexpected hap
pening, a Crosby Naugatuck basket
ball game for the state champion
ship, is very much fact and not a
flight Of fancy or the dream Of some
student who has been UP too late.
Officially, the two teams from Wa
terbury and the borough to the
south Of us were considered tenth
and fourteenth by a tournament
committee that rated Bridgeport
Central with perfect 1000 despite
the fact that Eddie Reilly's boys
lost one game before they stepped
into the "a" meet at the New Haven
Arena and were promptly eliminated
by Naugatuck which was bit sur
prised when it received an invita-
ton to enter the tournament.
The same tourney committee rated
Windham of Willimantic second best
in the state as the club had beaten
some good opposition, and was de-
Tending champion of the state, that
Is, until Crosby took care Of 1t earlier
in the quarter finals.
Under Pressure
Last night, Crosby won over Meri-
den, as expected, but the Silver City
lads, led again by an amazing little
fellow, Captain Walter (Mouse)
Gostyla with 10 points, gave highly
favored Crosby the DEVILS own time
before it succumbed in the final
minute or two of play, as Gostyla
was dropping shots with rifie-like
precision, the final score reading:
Crosby 81, Meriden 33.

Harding's big gun, left-handed Bill
Hugya was held to single field goal
for three periods, but warmed up a
bit as the game waned, scoring four
goals and free throws for II points
at the finish of the game. Nauga-
tuck stayed right in there from the
opening whistle, ran Harding ragged
and made the most of its many
opportunities though Napoli and
Pjura were also hard to handle, the

Canada Tips Off
us. Colleges On
War Sports

While American collegiate leaders
furne over the effects that wartime
measures will have on college sports,
they might we'll look to the North
to neighbor- Canada whose two-year
experience as warning nation could
give them their answer. This answer
comes in the form of an article
SPORTS BOOM IN WAR TIME
CANADA--in the April issue OF
Esquire magazine.
Canadian universities solved their
problem of increasing. the ply
steal and social fitness Of their
man-power, by launching the most
'pretentious program by conducting
all events on an intercompany basis
those aking part being university
members of the Canadian Officers
Traing Corps.
The value of sports In building
morale and developing mental
proves is recognized by the RCAF,
for in its list of traits considered
favorable Off aspirants is: Unusual
ability in athletics" Little or no
athletic experience is unfavorable.
Modern war demands team play
and soldiers, sailors and airmen
must be tough. They must be keen.
They must be quick to spot weak
ness in the opposition. They must
not know how to quit and they must
not tumble. Sports teach all these.
Need Tough Men
Military experts, Esquire goes on
to say, cannot proceed very far whit
technical training unless they have
human machines which can stand
the strain. A fair ability in running,
Jumping, throwing and climbing is
considered a fundamental necessity
and this Is what the colleges are
attempting to provide.
With the cancellation Of inter-
collegiate sports in favor of sounder
intramural, interfaculty and inter-
company athletic programs, central
Canadian universities were parti-
cularly hard hit, for hockey and
football were their major sports.
Now, after nearly two years, there
is growing agitation to restore
completely the intercollegiate sports.
Exhibition local games have resulted
in subterfuge and hypocrisy--and
sometimes teams have been allowed
TO compete in minor intercollegiate
spirits such as skiing. Yet, despite
abuses and the growing campaign
to put collegiate sports back on
every Canadian college program,
one fact remains: more Canadian
students are participating in athle-
tics than ever before. They will be
good soldier material.

Harding 10. Referees-Perino and
CaSman.
Slow Start
Crosby could not get started, as
Meriden played speedy, Naugatuck
type of game and though the Crosby
defense did good job on Meriden's
eagle-eyed Gostyla, it was missing
shots, hitting the rims, but worst Of
all using long, wild heaves that were
intercepted or thrown out of bounds,
giving Meriden possession of the ball
time and again. However, despite
being more than a little off form,
Crosby managed to stay in the ball
game with a 15-17 score at half
time, but came to life in the third
heat, and in short order clicked so
well for the first time of the evening,
1t had an IL point lead in no time,
after which Meriden got the range
and the ball hacing the big Crosby
lead chopped down to nothing, but
