Fifth and Sixth Places in State Cage Circuit to
 Be at Stake

Fifth and sixth places in the topsy-turvy State Basketball league scramble will definitely be undis- putable after tomorrow afternoon when the West Side Speedboys lock horns with the Bridgeport Newfields at the central Y gym in the opening game of the second and final round.
 Both clubs have been losing some pretty tight contests of late, but the Newfields think they're far superior to the locals and hope to prove that point here. However, the Siders be- lieve the breaks have been breaking wrong for them and are confident they'll turn back the Park City shooters.
 Bill Sheehy, former member of the Waterbury Ashley club, is captain of the downstaters. Others on the squad are Kiely, Mackie, Conley, Brinkert, Phelan, Santone and DesVerny.
 "Jarp" O'Neill will make all re- placements for the Siders tomor- Ao", AidfhiS CuhCil oNCI tIlC COdClllllS at Thursday evenings drill at Russell school. Johny Stol- lar, captain of the Siders, may not see too much duty tomorrow, for he's suffering with emory in his eye. However, the remainder of the squad, Bill Oliver, Jim Roach, John- ny Casey, Joe Lynch of Bristol, Russ Mclean, Herbie French and Ted Etelson will be on hand. Billy Kalosky will not see action owing to his employment which necessi- tates his appearance in the factory Sundays.
 Tomorrow night the Speedboys will go to Bridgeport to engage the Springwoods, league leaders. Next Wednesday evening they travel to West Haven to face the Devils and next Friday night play host to the Question Marks of Stamford in a benefit game at the central Y for the Dr. James Naismith Memorial fund.

RIVALS READY FOR BASKETBALL |C Q M PET|T|0 N
Schofield Squad Has Fair Record Thus Far; Re-
 serves in Prelim

It's always fair weather whe,, good fellows get together, accord ing to the ever popular imbibing refrain, but the weather has no eff feet on the spirit displayed between Crosby and Wilby high school sport squads whether the action be sched- uled for field court or baseball dia- mond. Tonight, the first of two Crosby -Wilby basketball games will be presented at the Wilby gym, with the lively CIV prelim to go on before the man event. In fact, there are two Crosby -Wilby hoop tussles tonight, the first at 7::3O, and one is quite apt to be as interesting as the other. At least, such has been the fact many times in past years, and more than once, the re- serve tuSsle has been better than the varsity game, from the fans viewpoint.
 All Set
 However, the lads coached by Bill Schofield and the boys directed by Jimmy Lee are ready for their first test of the net season. On paper, Crosby has the better record, hay ing won four of six games, losing to East high of PaWtucket, and Tor rington, while defeating the Alumni, Holyoke, Meriden and Ansonia. Wilby, on the other hand, had all it could do to outpoint a spirited Leavenworth team which matched it field goal for field goal, the 28 to "A difference in Wilby's favor coming from the free throw line.
 The general idea, from Wilby's standpoint tonight, will be to set up a defense, zone or otherwise, to stop Crosby's pair of high-pointers. and co-captains, Albie Kelly and Artie Fisher. If the Wildcat guard ing is good enough to hold dowr Albie and Artie, and Wilby's Ka- losky, Overton or Wallin has good night, the Lee lads can win the game, which is expected to be close and exciting in any event.
 Trophy in Sight
 Having won the football game against Crosby last November, Wilby has "leg' on the beautiful Al Kel- ue MeuloI4dl CTOpny, WnlCA It can add to by winning against Crosby tonight, having already defeated Leavenworth, but a Crosby win will complicate the situation more than somewhat.
 Captain Eddie Salvatore, Jackie Sizer and Pete Yarnall, the latter pair having beaten Crosby in foot ball with fine forward pass, are expected to do more than a little bit for the Wilby cause tonight, while the Crosby "B" boys, Belanger and Boucher, with Bob Reynolds, Norman Feitleson, D'Agostino, Smith, Conlon, Fasanelli, and Kob- rin should come in handy during Crosby's attack on the hoops.
 Keen interest has been manifest ed among the student bodies of the two schools and good weather will bring out a goodly part of the public, which is wise" to the fact that it can always be sure of spirited game when the high school rivals meet.

NAUGY AT TORRINGTON

Naugatuck, Jan. 10-Pete Foley s Naugatuck high basketeers will meet the highly-touted Torrington high five in the New City tonight. The game is expected to be a close one as a keen rivalry has always pre- vailed between the two schools.
 The Foleymen showed plenty of ability this week when they trounced Ansonia. Harding high beat Nauga- tuck by a field goal here last Sat- urday but had little trouble in de- feahng Wilby high of Waterbury.
 The Garnet is fast rounding into shape and should hotly contest to- nights tilt.
