Naugatuck, May /. A cham
pionship town and championship
school system produces champion
ship athletic teams, Coach Peter
j. Foley of the Naugatuck High
school said last night in talk at
the testimonial for the basketball
team which won the state and New
England titles.
The local team went into the
tourney to win and sacrificed trans
lent pleasures until 1t had won, he
reminded. This team had the
greatest team-spirit of any team l
have ever coached, you just couldn't
beat them" he said.
Members of the team and Mr..
Foley were presented with Bulova
watches, the gift of residents Of
the community who contributed to
q fund for them. Harry E. Benham,
master of ceremonies, made the
presentation.
Coach Foley said one of the out
standing things about the teams
play in the tourney was its physical
condition, pointing out 1t played
seven hard games and didn't suffer
an injury. A team must first have
spirit, then skill and then endur-
ance, he said. Coach Foley got a
laugh when he said he had told the
boys to keep the games close so as
to continue to draw crowds.
Ivan Williamson, Yale athletic
coach, the team deserves more
credit because of the way 1t won the
various games, pointing out 1t won
the close ones. He said you can
talk about luck and breaks but It's
q good team that gets the luck
and makes the breaks. He congrat-
ulated the various team members
and told Coach Foley he would be
glad to have Naugatuck teams play
the Yale freshman hoop combine
John A. Cluney, sports editor OF
The Democrat, said NaugatucR
teams seem ito have little more
on the ball than the majority OF
their opponents" Even when they
lose, they never give up trying, he
said, and they don't often lose
He reminded that Naugatuck was
the last-rated team going into the
tourney and said he felt its accom-
p!ishment was nothing short OF
amazing. He said in view of Maui
gatuck's win the so-called rating
system seems a little bit ludicrous

How to Display Flag
On Different Occasions

On OlHefent I
When a number of state or other flags
are grouped and displayed from stats.
the Flag of the United States should be
in the center or at the highest point or
in front of the group.
Don't display soiled or torn flags.
When flags of states or cities, or pen
nantS of societies are flown on the same
halyard with the Flag OF the United
States the National Flag should always
be at the peak.
Flags may be Numbered, preferably in
your own home.
When flags of two. or more nations are
displayed they should be flown from
separate STATS of the same height and
the flags should be of approximately
equal size.
When the Flag is displayed from staff
projecting horizontally or at an angle
from the window sill, balcony, or front
of the building, the union of the Flag
should go clear to the head of the staff
unless the Flag is at half mast.
When the Flag of the United States is
displayed either horizontally or vertically
against a wall, the union should be
uppermost and to the Flags own right;
that is, to the observers left When
displayed in a window il should be dis
played the same way; that is. with the
union or blue field to the left of the OBJ
server in the street.
When displayed over the middle of the
street, or an aisle, the Flag of the United
States should be suspended vertically
with the union to the north in an east
and-west thoroughfare or to the east in
a north one.
When used on a speakers platform, the
Flag should be displayed above and be-
hind the speaker. 1t should never be
used to cover the speakers desk nor to
drape over the front of the platform. If
flown from a staff it should be on the
speakers right.
When used to cover a casket the Flag
should be placed so that union is at the
head and over the left shoulder.
