Warriors, Bombers
Win Boys Club
Canes By 7 Points

In two senior league ball games
at the Boys Club last night the
fast stepping Warriors defeated the
hustling Alumni hoopsters A to 81
and the Bombers outshot the Bills
Collegians 38 to 81. Next Thursday
evening the Alumni hoopsters take
on the Collegians at o'clock and
the Warriors meet the Spartans in
the big tilt at o'clock.
The undefeated Warriors were
taking their contest with the Alum
nj too lightly and before they knew
it the oldsters had quite a lead
with Dutch Roberts, Frank Fisher
and Bill Manturick tossing in some
we'll planned shots. Albert Damelio
and company started to work up
steam in the second period and be-
fore the half was over they man
aged to work up a six-point lead.
The Warriors continued to roll in
the third stanza with Tony Ianni-
cone, Dan Rosa and Sonny Renaldi
taking turns with Damelio in max
ing things hot for the Alumnia. The
final period was different story
wit hthe aged Alumni players find
ing a second wind and ran the
Warriors around quite a bit and
finally drew to within one point of
tying the score with two minutes
remaining. Little Poison" Dame
lilo took command at this point
and tossed the ball in the hoop and
the Alumni out of the game with
a couple of honeys and then fed
Tony Iannicone for another clinch-
er.
The Bombers had too much drive
for Bills Collegians ard charged
through to 38 to 81 victory with
Karpovich, Chapman and Runividge
leading the onslaught. Charlie Be-
dell and Frank Luke played good
ball for the losers but they were
always fighting a losing cause.

receive Canadian army physical ex-
aminations today and probably will
be indicted February at London,

The Kraut line, it was believed,

Loss of the Krauts, rated hockey's

team, coached by Edible Conlon,
which the Locktown lads defeated
earlier in the season. Coming off

A preliminary game, marked down
for starting at 7:3O p. m. precedes
the Hearts-Terryville tussle.
Ready To Go
Several practice sessions directed
by Coach Conlon have the Hearts
right on edge for their major effort
tonight, while Coach Joe Jablonow-
ski of Terryville can be depended
upon to bring down a hoop squao
that knows what the score is" al

Tomorrow, the first of two CroS-
by-Leavenworth court clashes will
take place with Crosby favored to
come through on the basis of its ex-
cellent play since early season;
LeavenWorth now has the taste of
victory having defeated Hamden,
after giving Bristol and New Britain
great battles before losing because
of weak work from the free throw
line. In both games, Tech tied the
supposedly much stronger opposition
in the matter of field goals, but
couldn's match them in free throws
though the rules give a player ten
seconds to make each toss.
Wildly goes to Ansonia tomorrow
night, in much better form than
they were when losing 1914 game
to Ansonia recently, allowing the
Copper City kids to move out of the
league cellar.
Torrington comes to Naugatuck
tomorrow in game that ought to
fill the borough gym with customers
who saw, heard about and read
about Naugy's great comeback at
Torrington two weeks ago, winning

Minus the services of their high
scoring forward, Izzy Goldsmith,

Wallace might have easily brck-

kets were easy sucker shots from

set up the majority of scoring plays
for the Diesels and also managed to
cut the cords for five baskets on
