Footwear Primers Win Naugatuck
 First Round Play

Nauatuck, Dec. 2l-In a bowling match at Anenberg's Alleys last night that was just as wild and woody as the weather, the U. s. Rubber rollers from the Footwear Plant came from behind to nose out their cousins from the Chemical Plant by one-pin margin and thereby copped the first round title in the Naugatuck Industrial Bowl ing League.
 The two teams have been run ming neck and neck since the start of the season, and at the close of first round hoStilities last Friday night, each showed a record of 35 wins as against ' losses. In the match played last night to break the tie. the Footwear combine took the first game by a six-pin mar gin, but dropped the second game by ten pins largely due to the 153 rolled by Lou Triano of the Chem ical club. The deciding game was really something to see, with the outcome in doubt right up to the last pin. Some sensational bowling by Bill Rado finally turned the trick and gave the Underhill men victory by one pin margin.
 The battle for second round hon. ors is scheduled to get under way tomorrow night with the same sev- en teams competing. Previous to to- morrow nights matches, at 7:30 p m. the team captains will meet al Anenberg's Alleys to award the first

Hearts Rally Tops St. Moy's
By YIN MALONEY Staff Writer)

Sacred Heart maintained ther unbeaten stride last night at the Wilbv Gym as they registered non-impressive 9 to 20 victory over St, Marys Academy of New Haven; For the Conlanmen, who manageo to pull the fat out of the hre Ill the final period, this was the hftn victory in as many starts. FanS who expected better game were handed a severe setback as 1t LOOK the East Main streeters three pc riods to regain partially the unbeat- able stride displayed on their part, in their only other home game tnls season against Morris.
 Fast Start
 Early in the opening period, St. Mary's, following the lead of Johnny Dunnigan, fast-breaking left tor- ward and high scorer, set 1ast pace which had the Sacred Heart squad on a heterogeneous" untli the last period when Bob Markovlc. the freshman wonder, Capt. Billy Walsh, Doc Murphy and Dick Healy
 put on the pressure and forged out five point lead which thelr team managed to hold. The score at the half time was IA to in favor of St. Mary's with Dunnigan high ;corer for the visitors ana Markovic top man for the local array. The most brilliant all- around play of the game centered around Dick Healy of Sacred Heart and Johnny Dunnigan, stellar for ward for New Haven. This contest for the Conlanmen was the nrst since their win over Terryville last week, and 1t definitely proves that they must play better ball in the future to maintain their top position in the Western Connecticut Basket ball Conference. Of course there is the possibility that Conlan might have instructed his club to take 1t easy as this was not league game. The final sore was Sacred Heart 25; St. Mary's 20. St. Mary's won the preliminary, Il to g in very close contest. High scorers in the 7:3O contest were Edwards with points for Sacred Heart and Paluer- ati for St. Mary's with points.

NeuOs About NGgs
 (And Their OIDners
By JOHN A cLUNEY

One day. not too many years ago. Attle Danny Eurell dropped Into the Democrat city room tO show me a letter from England. concerning a forthcoming b.g race over there. The glst 0f the note. aside from personal news was that one of the Aga Khan'S horses. BAFfRhM by name. would win the big race from here 10 Hamilton Park. And. in the lgh, oi the subsequent event. that's just about Shat happened.
 You might be interested to know that the Aga Khan. an East Indian prince or poientate Of some sort has been So hot" about horses for manw years that he is one of the best-known breeders in the world. His per- sonal wealth can only be guessed at. for once a year. his subjects" in India present him with HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD: so you can imagine why the Aga Khan. best known in Mayfair Society around London, has no use for diets. or pound-reducing ideas Of any sort. By latest report, he is now worth his weight (250 pounds) in DIA- MONDS for one reason, because his horses have won most Of the larger purses and outstanding races in England for the past sev- eral years.
 According to the IRA (Thorough- bred Racing Association), as a breeder of blooded horses, the Aga Khan has completed some of the most outstanding sales in history. (Cheatem Curtis should have been in on some of the deals). Not long ago, he sold TWO horses, Star Dust and Tehran for $848,000 an average of $42400 each which set a new world record for horsefleSh, as the previous mark was $300,000 each for call Boy and Nearco, according to the American Racing Manual.
 The moral to the story is: don't feel too sad when your butcher tells you he has a little" western steer beef on hand, but it has gone up 10 cents pound since last week. the war, you know and transporta- tion from the Chicago Stock Yards to the east coast, etc. etc.

tuck struggle between the Middle bury Bobcats and St. MaryS Mid gets. The outcome was in doubt un- til the last second of play, with the Midgets finally emerging victorious F to Il, but only after several Bob eat rim shots failed to drop through the hoop. The Bobcats showed a vastly improved team and with a boost" from Lady Luck might have walked off with the honors. Morgan and Fray kept the Bobcats In the running with their all around play while Seymour, Maloney and Brown were the Midgets' pacemakers.
 By virtue of their victories last week, the Brooklyn "Y" Knaves and the Boys Club Keystones are CO., leaders of the league with two wins each without loss These two teams are to face each other this week in the main attraction and the reSpec- tive team followers will be out en maSSe.
 The Jaspers, heavy preseason favorite suffered their second re- versal in as many weeks when the Knaves triumphed Il to 8. Inability in the shooting department has raised havoc with the Jaspers, here tofore good shooting team"
 The Boys Club Keystones con- tinue to give the fans treat with their smooth passing and deadly shooting eyes. Their 31 to 16 victory over the Atomic Aces makes them the team to beat in the league. Leo and Caribetti were the offensive stars with Ubaldi disrupting the Aces offensive with his fine floor work. By annexing Il points in last weeks game Leo has forged ahead in the scoring department to lead the league at this writing. Team mate F. Caribetti is close runner up.
