TECH FOOTBALL TEAM IN SUNDAY
 TEST AT NAUGY

Realizing that a Sunday after noon game would attract more fans and thereby aid the athletic treas uries of both schools, Naugatuck and Leavenworth will play a high school football game next Sunday at Recreation field in the borough. The game, originally scheduled for Saturday, was moved back to Sun day to allow as many interested people as possiblpe, especially war; workers employed after noon Sat- urday to see the Greyhound Tech game.
 Last week, Naugatuck. and Crosby met in the first Sunday game of NHS history, Naugy winning, most ly on Jack Stinson's passing ability. Leavenworth, fresh from it's first win of the season a decisive 33-7 victory over Wilby will be ready" for Naugatuck, Coach Bill Tracy as- sures all questioners; and, with a strong line and a new backfield performer of note, a colored boy, Bill Sims, Tech may give Naugatuck plenty of trouble in the borough game; if workable defense against forward passes can be developed this week.
 Hopeful
 Crosby players got to work today in preparation for the game with West Haven Saturday afternoon at Municipal stadium; Coach Jimmy Lee hoping to put together some sort of a scoring threat for the game which was notably absent at Cheshire last Saturday where Cros- by was shut out by 40 points.
 Wilby, minus its new and able back, Mario Quattro, hospitalized with broken leg, goes to Shelton Saturday with a make-shift disor- ganized by injuries; as no less than four backfield players have been hurt and are out of action at this time, giving Coach Tom Purcell a situation that is all but impossible.

 New York. Nov. 7.-There is no sharper indication of the vast amount of loose money around than the way it has been offered for the franchises in contemplated profess sional football leagues. No fewer than three are under the course of construction to swing into actlon when the war Is won. If all plans carry, Chicago and Los Angeles will have four clubs. New York and San Francisco three, and Philadelpnla. Boston, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Baltimore two.
 This despite the fact that only three of the 10 National League clubs-New York, Chicago Bears ana Washington-haye made money.
 George Preston Marshall all but tapped out in Boston before switch ing to the Capital in desperation Green Bay is 8 community proposi- ton. Detroit hasn't precisely cleaned up since Dick Richards sold out The Boston Tanks will lose $5O,OOU this season. Tim Mara was fortunate at the Polo Grounds. Red Oranges All-Stars got the Giants out in one early campaign, and Founder Mara got a break with the Packers the following fall. That established the money business in Manhattan. But this isn't deterring packers, or the new circuits. Arch Wards new All-America Conference spans the nation, and has bloated bankrolls behind 1t.

|Cuddebock Scored, Converted
 In Last Two Seconds to Give
 Stanford Tie With CoIiofrnio
Another of a series
 
 By RED GRANGE. The Original Naturalization .(Written for NEA Service)


 Murray Cuddeback as principally responsible for Stanford obtaining a 20-20 tie with California in the Golden States memorable Big Game of 1924.
 Cuddeback sent the Cardinals away in front with two field goals in the second period, the second place-kick soaring ~ yards just be- fore the :. half ended. Cuddeback's toe kept the Indians within striking distance, and he caught a pass for a touchdown and converted in the last two seconds to give a plucky varsity an even break. @
 There was a lot of feeling in this game, played before 100, 900 persons in Berkeley's Memorial Stadium. Ii was the last of lanky Andy Smiths California wonder teams and Pop Warmers first fall on the Farm meeting of standout coaches. CLEVELAND, MEYERS OUT
 At the last minute California discovering that Norm Cleveland had played two minutes with Me- vada as a sophomore, declared Stanford's best halfback inehgi- ble. And the great Ernie Meyers was on the Sideline with two broken ankles.
 California did not get rolling until the Bears shook Tut Inlay loose for 37 yards in the third period. Harry Shipkeyl nailed the flying back on the threshold of a touchdown, but Bert Griffin buck ed the ball across, Carlson con- verted and California led, 7-6.
 California tallied again early ill the fourth period on 8 pass from Dixon to Inlay. Carlson again converted and the Blue and Gold was in front, 14-6. Things looked extremely dark for Stanford when California promptly passed and punched its way to a third touch- down. This time, however, and fortunately for the Cardinals Carlson's place-kick was wide.
 Cuddeback kicked of. Held California punted and Solomon taking the ball on the run at mid field, returned 1t Is yards. A pass to Solomon put the pigskin on the 20. Jim Lawson picked up seven on an end-around play.
 A FIGHTING PASs-RECETvER
 Here an excellent piece of fight ing pass-receiving, and perhaps a bit of luck, gave Stanford a tre- mendous break and lift. Sopho- more Ted Shipkey ran into the end zone, cut back when a high, wobbly pass was short. He crash ed into one defender, Cocky Brown, and bumped into another as he made the catch and touch- down.
 Old Reliable Cuddeback kicked the point and the score was: Cali fornia, 20, Stanford 13, with five minutes to go.
 A hopeful Stanford varsity was storming the heights now. Cali fornia kicked oil. Stanford lost the ball, but regained 1t on an exchange of kicks. It was first down and 95 yards to go.
 Solomon hit center for seven Cliff Hey sprinted g yards on a fake reverse and another 10 on a full spinner, Ted Shipkey took c pass for 20.
 With two seconds to go, Ed Walker shot a pass to Cuddeback who scampered across the goal line.
 Everything depended on Cudde- backs kick. It was good.

A total of approximately $4S2 has been collected to date made up of $362 in taxes due and $12O in penal ties thereupon.
 City authorities plan a personal campaign, relative to these out standing taxes, conducted by means of personal calls by a city sheriff on the individual delinquent. Serving of warrants will be made if this lat- ter procedure proves failure in any case, whereupon the individual will be required to pay the $500 tax, $10O penalty and an additional $7 sheriff fee. It is expected by authorities that once the personal ized campaign gets underway the current yearly return estimates of $16,500 will be doubled. The latter procedure has been used this past year on the collection of delinquent water taxes and proven successful.
 As reported here recently over a million dollars is owed the city on uG111lqu6II1 GetACS CO1AApA AoCA NAAAC4AJ of property and personal taxes. Thomas F. OBrien former Deputy Tax Collector has been named di- rector of an extensive campaign soon to get underway to collect these latter type delinquencies.
 A total of $12500 has been re- ceived on liquor taxes here during the month of November. City Treasurer Serge Belanger has re- ceived payments.
 On or before Jan. Is the city will make payment of $19,991 to the state as its quarterly share of the total county tax of $340,229. Pay- ments are due the 18th day of Jan, April, July and October of each year.
 This will constitute the city's first payment of its fiscal year but the second payment made during the states fiscal term. The city has appropriated $81, 900 in the 194a budget to meet this contingency.

 Aboard a B-24 Liberator over Hankow, Dec. 18-(UP)-Hankow, the nerve center and principal supply base for the Japanese drive through south-central China, was pulverized today under the heaviest bombload ever dropped on the Asiatic mainland by the largesS force of U. s. planes ever sent into China's skies.
 The attack was perfectly CO., ordinated by more than 250 Super fortresses, Liberators, Mitchells, Mustangs and WarhawkS from the 20th Bomber Command, the 14th Air Force and the Chinese -Ameri- can composite wing.
 More than 1000 tons of bombs plastered the docks and railyards at Hankow and the city's airdrome, the most important Japanese air. field in China.
 At the briefing six hours ago, Capt. Ross Mcleod, New York city, told the 14th's crews: "Chennault (Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault) has been wanting to knock out Hankow for long time. He thinks this time we'll do it.

Continued from Page D

Hansell said detailed damage could not be assessed until photo graphic reconnaissance pictures are available, but one element of the force alone scored at least 9 di- rect hits in the Kokuki building area. Pilots reported smoke rose over the Nagoya waterfront to height of 5000 to 5000 feet.
 The Kok,I,i Works, crammed into an area only 3,200 to 1,400 feet, is situated on a clearly defined area of the waterfront inside the harbor breakwater. It. Col. Frank L.. Davis of Cornwall, N. r., said that as liar as the last two waves were concerned, there never has been 8 SuperfortreSS mission anywhere so successful"
 Other bombers scored hits on secondary targets, including a ship yard and power plant. Two large buildings at the shipyard were burned out and the power plant was believed to have been crippled.
 As many as 50 Japanese fighters attacked the Superfortresses over Nagoya, but none was lost to enemy action. At least one and probably more of the intercepting fighters were shot down.
 Icing conditions and engine trou- ble prevented one B-29 from attack ing Nagoya, but it went on to bomb the dock area south of Yokohama, scoring hits and starting fires.
 Before the main raid on Nagoya. two lone Superfortresses made nuis- ance attack on the city, one at 9:15 D. m, (8:15 a. m. EWT) Sun- day and the other at a. m. Mon day. Though their primary aim was weather reconnaissance, they drop ped bombs that started fires visi- ble for 50 miles.
 The war department originally announced that the main Nagoya raid occurred Sunday, but later amended it to Monday.
 Japanese broadcaSts acknowledged that the bombers had struck in strength at Nagoya, but claimed that IT B-29s had been shot down and more than 20 others damaged. Six Japanese planes were missing. the broadcast said.
