ny HUGO HOOKSHOT

Unable to win but one of six
games this season, Wilbys basket
ball forces comes up against more
hoop trouble tonight in the form
of a resourceful Torrington High
team that recently dropped a test
on its home court with Naugatuck,
despite sixteen point edge at half
time After some sub-grammar
school playing, Wildly came back
nicely last Saturday with a good
Naugatuck team which won, but
effort against strongly favored
with just four points to spare, 1870.
On the basis of the records and
comparison between the two teams,
Torrington must be favored tonight,
though REPETITION o. its Naugatuck
game effort, might upset the visit
ing New City squad, which, at the
moment, is in third place in the
valley league standing, though 1t is
now sharing the place with Crosby
which hung up neat 4l-31 setback
on the previously undefeated Presi-
dents Of Warren Harding high,

game with the main issue to get

Crosby, continuing its excellent
play since opening Of the esason,
was "hot" as the proverbial pistol
last night, while Harding was ice
cold, so frigid, in fact, that 1t was
not able to get more than eight
points in the first half of the game,
as the Stockholders ran up a 81 to 8
count, Kelly and Fisher as usual,
doing the scoring. At the end of the
first eight minute heat it was 10 to
3. Crosby's reynolds, Fietelson and
Belanger also had a prominent part
in the all-around victory, in which
Crosby used a ose-checking zone
defense to stop the Harding hope
fuls dead.
In the third quarter, Harding got
"hot" for little while giving
Crosby rooters some little concern
when the visitors came within four
points of a tie, 2l-l7 but the Presi-
dents did not have the defense to
stop Kelly and Fisher and when
that situation Is evident, Crosby
cannot be taken very easily. Hard
ing's Nalali, Captain Bill Hugya
and Jqura scored 81 of the losers
81 points.
In five league games, Crosby's
co-captain Able Kelly, has scored
70 points for IA plus average per
