 Of Country Club

Reginald w Gilman, president Of the Country Club of Waterbury, was again chosen to that capacity in a recent election of officers for the coming year. Arthur 1I.

 President Gilman told The Demo- crat today, that there are 5l mem- bers of the Country Club of Wa terbury now in the armed services of the United States.
 Used or "reproceSsed" golf balls are the principal item that mem berS should consider at this time, if they intend to play the course next season, and all such balls should be turned in to the club professional or to the office of the club

LOCAL RIVALS
 AT CITY STADIUM
 THURSDAY MORN
Kickoff at 10 A. M.; F. I. Vincent of New Haven
 to Referee
By sidellne Sam

Ir addition to all their otheA worries, coincident to the annual Crosby Wilby football game, A must" sports event for some 5,O0G to 10000 local residents each Thanksgiving Day, Coaches Jimmy Lee and Bill Schofield had tha weather as well as the players, off, cials. and a number of other minol details on their mind at press hour today.
 Officially, the kickoff is set for 1G a. m. at the Municipal Stadium with F. T. tFay) Vincent, former Yale captain, as referee of the local classic, in which Crosby will be 8 ? or 3 10 1 choice over a Wilby team that has scored but six points all season, has yet to win a game and was recently shut out by Leav- defeated.
 Top To Bottom
 Last year, Wilby had its greatest grid squad in the history of the commercial high school, in which 1t went through the season unbeaten and united, winding up with a vic- tory over Crosby in thriller-diller that saw Crosby with the ball on the Wilby 2 yard line. as time ran out and Wilby won 12-7 on the strength of whiZz-bang pass, in- jured Pete Yarnall to end Jackie Sizer. The latter joined the United States Navy today, and is net ex- pected to be on hand for tomorrow mornings Turkey Day contest.
 For 20 years, Crosby and Wilny teams have met on the football field on Thanksgiving morning, with the exception of last season When Leavenworth and Hamden were given the city stadium for Turkey Day game, as Crosby and Wilby played the following Satur- day.
 Last season, the game drew closs to 4,500 paid admissions. Tomor- row, with most of the war plants working, the game may not draw more than 2,500 to 5000 paid. If good weather is prevalent, which was doubtful today. Tn the event of post-ponement, announcement will be made by radio as soon as a decision is reached, Coach Lee said today.
 Crosby got of on the wrong foot this year. losing three straight to Ansonia, Torrington and Central of Bridgeport, but suddenly found it. self. went to Naugatuck and kock- ed off Pete Foley's kids 19-0; shut out a favored Leaveworth team 12-0 and went along well after that un- til test with Taft Prep in Water town which wound up in an 18-0 shutout against Crosby.
 Hard Luck
 Wilby has lost Jackie Wallace, 8 good kicker, for tomorrow's game by injuries: Pete Garrity, an able center has joined the Navy as has Ray Buckley, who must report to- : morrow morning; thereby being unable to play his last game for Wilby; though Garrity will be on hand.
 For Crosby, Captain Tony Lom- bard, Dom Rosa, Jimmy Mcdonnell and Bob Moriarty will probably comprise the starting backfeld. The game also counts for the Al Kellie Memorial Trophy. A special silent tribute to the memory of the late Waterbury football official, for whom the trophy is named, will be asked for by J. Francis Roland of the Crosby faculty.
 Tickets for the game, at 50 and 75 cents have been going at a fair rate at the schools; and downtown at Biener's ard Templeton's sports departments.

GRID
 SHOULD BE HOT MEET SATURDAY
Cadets Have Best Offense But Sailors Strong on
 Defense
BY OSCAR FRALEY United Press Stan Correspondent


 New York. Nov. 25-(uP)-Army anu Navy, each vowins victory for future comrades in the field and on the sea. moved today toward their traditional gri6iron classic at Annapolis Saturday vith the Ivy league title as an added incentive.
 The Cadets were determined to win for every draftee and general carrying the ball from the Solo, mons 10 Aries while the Mi6ship- men promised victory for the blue water men they soon will join,
 To tlH;m the mythical Ivy league crown meant nothing-but it still was on the line !n contest where pre- game odds have no value, The West Pointers, currently at the top of the imaginary circuit, can clinch the title with victory while Navy can move in front by scoring what would be an upset,
 Results of games against four common opponents gave Army an edge in offensive power but credited the Midshipment with greater de fensive strength. Army defeated Princeton, 4O-7. and lost to Penn. la-0. Navy reversed these results, losing to Princeton, l0-0, but up- setting Penn, TO. Both service teams defeated Columbia, the Navy winning. l3-9, while the Cadets scored 34-6, They both dropped before Notrs Dame. Army by Q lS- 0 count and Navy by a 90 score.
 This game heads the eastern pro gram for the final week in which the,e are five traditional tilts. Penn goes against Cornell and could slip in a successful defense O. the Ivy league title if Army and Navy played to a tic Other unplcdicta- 6leS are Colgate Brown, Holy Cross goS, on college and Temple-Villa- nova
 Boston College faces the most dangerous task. that of defeating a stretch-running Holy Cross club to preserve an undefeated and united record. An upset would damage se- riously the Eagles chances of oo- taining a lucrative post-season Bowl invitation.
 The only intersectional game sends Fordham against North Carolina Pre-flight, led by former Ram Coach sleepy Jim" Crowley. The Ivy League standings:

Colgate is another club which struck back hard after begging down, but in this case see the Reo Raiders closing out the campaign on Turkey Day with victory over Brown in Providence. Bob Margarita is a fine Bruin back but when the Hamilton outfit is up it is a match for most any team.
 MISSOURI WINS TITLE
 Northwestern, which hasn't had much luck this fall, may get a be- lated portion of it against Great Lakes at DycEe Stadium.
 Bob Stauber and Missouri will clirch the Big Six championship by repeling Kansas at Columbia That 25-7 shellacking by Auburn gave Bernie Moore material for pep talks that will sharpen Louisiana State for the big one with Tulane at Baton Rouge. The Tigers have Alvin Dark and sufficient additional talent to dam the Green Wave. TEXAS TOO TOUGH
 Joe Muha and V. M. I, should get over V. P. I. in the annual neighborhood quarrel at Roanoke.
 Good William & Mary will have no trouble at Richmond and Mary land little more with Washington & Lee at College Park.
 Texas A. x. M, has come along nicely, but I can't see the Aggies beating a potentially great Texas team in Austin
 Tulsa, not far removed from the top. will run over Arkansas, and Texas Tech gets ire rod over Ari- zona at Tucson.
 Another Thanksgiving Day. An other season-one in which every body grasped the importance of the great game of football.

 New Ycrk, Nov. 25 - (U.P0 We always have abhorred concrete as an overcoat and automatic slugs in the back as vitaminS. Hence we will tread softly upon the lightweight championship situation on which the New York Commission and the National Boxing Association have come in fast-to straighten out.
 There have been rumors that the deadliest torpedo" in America was operating in boxing before Sammy Angott. of Washington Pa., vacated the lightweight throne mere than a week ago. Whether there was any connection. We do not know
 Angott and his manager. Charlie Jones have denied vehemently that Sammy's retirement was forced that they gave up the crown rather than "do business" They explained that Sammy had outgrown the l35- pound limit, ard that he was 2ufier- ing from bad hands.
 But the guys on Jacobs Beach still can't understand the retirement because Angott and Jones could have got at least $20000 for de- fenSe against any challenger, and particularly against the Stork Club clouter, Beau Jack. Ard twenty grand isnt hay even in Washing ton Pa
 Mob StulT
 AIgotts retirement is the biggest mystery of the l942 boxing year. The New York Daily News attempt cd 10 explain this retirement as having been forced oy New Jer- sey mob We doubt this is so, If il :, was forced, the brain guy" behind ! he scenes is one who regards the entire United States as his shoot ing gallery Ard he is most ac- | curate marksman.
 Anyway. the New York Commis- sion and the National Boxing Asso- ciation came in fast yesterday with plan 10 determine Angott's sue cessor as lightweight champion They decided to hold an elimina- ton tournament, with the ultimate winner to be king of the l35-pound CTS, just as was Tcny Canzoneri ill 1885. after Barney Ross retired.
 Ten contenders are in this tour. ney, which will feature two "key' bouts. The first "key" bout brings together Beau Jack. Negro. and Tip. py Larkin Of Garfield, ". J., in 6 l5-round bout at Madison Square Garden. December 1: winner of thi. bout will meet the survivor among the other eight contenders in { ''final' bout for the title within three months.

 The blackout last week failed to put halt to the scheduled matches although some of the boys were late arriving having been held up more than a half hour.
