CENTRAL HIGH
TOrringtOn, Harding, VAL
ley League O-Chafnps,
Also Meet
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

80 OSAA4N kAs O4GNG4
NO less than four Naugatuck VAL
ley League teams will provide the
basketball blitzkrieg tonight in the
state tournament on the New Ha-
ven Arena court. One game, ION
paper" figures to be the thriller
diller Of the playdowns to date, with
quarter-f1nal competition scheduled
for Monday night of next week. at
which time Crosby, impressive 1923
winners over Manchester, tangles
with Windham Of Wilimantic, de-
Tending state champs and rated by
most experts" as a probable fnalist
this year.
However, the piece-de-resistance
tonight is the Torrington- Harding
court encounter at 9:15 p. m. though
the ledge will be taken of that con-
test If Naugatuck has one of those
nights when Everything goes" and
can run around long enough to OUT
point Central Of Bridgeport, which,
with Torrington is the writer's selec-
ton to get somewhere near the
finals though Torrington's play of
the opening night was its worst of
the season, in a game, in Which 1t
needed no less than 20 free success
full throws to win as the entire team,
high-scoring one, ordinarily, was
held to eight field goals. However,
the writer believes that Torrington
Just can't be that bad again, and
will defeat Harding, with which 1t
shares the valley league title of the
present season.
Opportunity
Naugatuck has q great chance to
become the giant killer" of the
tournament by outpointing smart,
experienced, group of ball handlers,
coached by Eddie Reilly who gave
the undefeated Yale FroSh great
run recently, losing by four points.
Yet, with Furs, Reilly and Dunn in
as good shooting form as they were
against West Haven, Central can be
taken, though Naugy is on the small
side physically, but can run like
gazelleS and, more important, the
records show that they have scored
TAI points against all opposition this
year, against 672 for the Bridgeport
team, which Is strong defensively,
though, allowing but 421 points
against it, while Naugy had 679
points scored by the other teams.
1t Is just possible that Naugatuck,
good outfit from the free-throw
line, may be aided no little If 1t can
make good the penalty shots, as it
should get plenty Of them, based on
the aggressive" type Of game play
ed by Central.
From a wagering angle, Central is
about a IL to choice over
Naugatuck, while Harding and Tor.
rington Is anybody's game, unless
you figure in Torrington's bad show
ing In its first game, which would
make Harding q 6 or z to 5 favorite.
Oneglia and Pond of Torrington
will provide point duel with Hard
ing's Hugya and Napoli that should
give the high school kids plenty to
scream about, and with the "unoffi-
cial" Naugatuck Valley league title
at stake, the teams will have a
double incentive to win the all-im-
portant game. Torrington is seldom
found wanting when the blue chips
are down, while Naugatuck's speed
and shooting ability may provide
the surprise package Of the tourney
to date.
Crosby was TO drill at 1880 today
in the Wildly gym for the Windham
game Monday.
