contest took the Naugatuck Valley
championship from st. Joe's Holy

cd. For one reason, that being that
most Of the boys who played In this
contest last year were either
drafted into the Army, or they are
working on other Jobs.
The Indians were spanked all
through this tilt by their captain
and natural leader Tom Nevers, who
is the best little player on the de-
Tense and on the offense that I have
seen In q long time. He was high
scorer for his combine tossing up
II points. But one thing that I will
have to say about both teams Is
that most Of the boys on both teams,
work together as D we'll coordinated
machine; they are not out for their
own individual glory. Another odd
fact TO me, perhaps not to you was
that Mc0rath, Shukis, Annasaukis,
and NacunnaS, made the same num-
Der Of points for st. Joe's as T.
Nevers, AInbrum, r. Nevers and
Paulauskas, made for WATERFOWL.
They made IL, 8, s, 2, In succession.
Tome Nevers as usual was the star
man for the Indians, especially
after taking most OF the individual
awards In the Gold Medal Tourna-
ment ut the Central "Y." For st.
Joe's, McGrath was top scorer with
II points, next was Shukis with 0,
and Wally ValunaS that great Tech
star Of the past season pulled down
third place with z aces.
But In the last period the lead
went back and forth, between the
Indians and then st. Joe's, but fin.
ally the Indians forged TO the front
in the last minute Of play to win
the laurels by o basket.
