DAVIS SETS NEW GARDEN KAYO
 TIME RECORD

New York, Feb. i9ECUP)-Al Bunny Davis reelected from goof to golden boy'' in one minute and three seconds last night as he re-. turned to Madison Square Garden after an absence of three years, and established a new main-event kayo record for the punch emporium by stopping Bob Montgomery in the first round
 Davis, banned from the garden ''for life" bcause of a display oi temper in November, 1940, electri. fled 17654 fans by tagging Mont. gomery, rugged Philadelphia Me- gro who formerly held the light. weight title, with his first knockout in 6S professional fights.
 New Record
 Blond, curly haired, flat-noSed Davis, who had gone into the ring Al underdog, bettered the pre- vious Garden record of 1:O6, reg istered by Tony Canzonert in belt ing out Al Singer on Nov. IA, 1880.
 Davis came out of his corner like murderous lnachle and laid Lown left-hooking attack that had vet era Montgomery bewildered in the first seconds of the round. From a crouch he threw a left hook to the chin that sent Montgomery down for the count of four.
 Montgomery rose at "foul" to meet a left-hooking barrage that staggered him backwards into the ropes. A left hook bent him against the ropes, and as he rebounded another left hook crashed into his chin, knocking him sideways onto his back. Montgomery gamely reached one knee at the count o1 six; then fell back. He staggered tc his feet at the count of nine; but Referee Frankie Fullam wisely halted the hostilities.

CROSBY NEEDS VICTORY FOR
 3 WAY PLAYOFF
BY CORNERWORM CHARLEY

- ON@@-%N-AAA4
 Many thousands of basketbaIls have gone through the hoops since Q Crosby high school team came up against Leavenworth in a do or die" game such as is the situation to- night, when the teams meet for the second time this season. A win for Leavenworth's Tech Tigers will bring Principal Frank Began and Coach Bill Tracy the first hoop title in the schools lively sports history. A vic- tory for Crosby already defeated by Tech, means triple tie and a play off for mythical championship hon. ors, as Leavenworth has already beaten Crosby and Wilby and then lost to Wilby in Its second test against the Wildcats.
 Keystone
 From this observers high tower, the work of Leavenworth center, Frank Santagotta depends a great deal, perhaps the actual outcome. A tall, heavy boy, he is hard to handle near the hoops and could easily be the difference between a win and loss as far as Crosby is concerned. Ray Alex is the Crosby boy Tech guards may have trouble with while Johnny Reardon at centel is the question mark. of the game and could very well win it for Crosby by bang-up job against Santagotta. Metropolous is the most dependable Tech scorer, while Crosby's Frank Hummell may be "hot" or ''cold" in the scoring department.
 All in all, the game figures to be very much worth while from spec tator's viewpoint, and it is all im- portant to players of both teams; which may mean near capacity crowd at whistle time, 8:45 D. m. Early corners will be entertained by a reserve game prelim between players of both squads, set for 7:30 p. m.
 Meriden and Wilby Reserves had a tight tussle in the preliminary game, which went to the visitors 35-32. De- priso and Apositz got 21 for Meri- den, Pandolfo and D'Agostino 18 for Wilby.

 Naugatuck High, fresh from it's recent win over Crosby, goes to Nor ris tonight to meet the Housatonic Valley league champs for the second time this season. Pete Foley's lads were the only team to spoil 8 per- feet record for Morris High this sea- son, though the latter team may even the series on its own court, but should have hard task doing it, as the Morris guard and center will have to keep Ruccio and Stinson in check, which is no small order.

Of century since Lincoln, the Re
publican Party has steadfastly be
lieved that the greatest fact about
America was Americas future. II
has believed that American insti-
tutions. derived from the wisdom
and experience OF the past, are still
the best guarantees known to men
for making that future sure.
The Republican Party believes in
the Constitution as our basic law,
1t believes in Constitutional, Bill
of-Rights government. 1t does not
believe that representative govern
ment can be shortcut without,
sooner or later, being short-circuit-
ed. We do not believe. like today's
totalitarians, in government by
men. We believe like our forefa-
theirs, in government by law
The Republican Party believes
that honesty in the public business
is more to be desired than fine
words; that integrity in public men
and political parties is a greater
asset than political pluralities;
that agreements are made to be
kept; that debts have to be paid;
that sqaundering of the peoples
money is administrative theft; that
government of easy money is al
ways a government of easy virtue.
The Republican Party believes
that the people are masters of their
own gOvernment-not that govern
ment is master of the people. 1t
believes in a strong Federal au-
thority. But it believes that all |
possible power should be retained I
at the state and local level-where |
the people are-and that as little
as possible power should be trans
ferred to Washington-where the
people are not.
We believe that no government |
deserves to exist in which. begin
ming at the lowest income level. the
people are not moving ahead and
in their economic. educa-
tional and spiritual well-being.
The Republican Party believes
these things because they are
right. 1t believes them because
when we have practiced these
things America has moved forward;
when we have neglected them Am
erica has fallen prey to the cynics
and the defeatists.
The Republican Party has be-
come the voice of America-the
voice of the people-as expressed
in recent elections. 1t is the voice
of farmers and of men and women
in factories. of managers of bust
ness and of mothers of soldiers and
sailors. AS Americans they have
turned to the Republican Party in
election after election for new
leadership; away from stagnation
in government.
Such leadership today is both the
of the Republican .
Party and its opportunity. And
such responsibility to the history
and faith of America will not be

HOW WOULD YOU define what
constitutes a Republican and what
does the party stand for? The ans
wer to that question was incorpor-
ated in a recent address made by
Harrison E. Spangler, chairman of
the Republican National Commit
tee:
When it comes to the reassertion
of American faith and practice

publican Party is qualified to speak.
