This Sporting World
SIoaon Dept.
By JOHN A. CLUNEY


 Those of us who know Ray (IIunk) Snyder, the soft-spoken former Wilby star lineman, softball pitcher, handball player and wilby line coach for several seasons, were pleasantly surprised to hear and read of his selection as the Repub- lican nominee for mayor of the City of Waterbury. By profession, Ray is Q mortician (undertaker to youse, Chomondeley) and by choice, he is an active participant in sports for sports sake; for he really loves to be in action, During the past sum. mer he has been the top.notch soft- ball pitcher for the First Lutheran church team, finalists with Mil Plain for the Inter- Church league title; which will be shared, as the boys could not get together for Q deciding game, each having won one of a "best of three" playoff.
 This department does not mix pol- itics and sports, ala Chandlerin view of the fact that Ray is also PRES DENT of the local Lions Club, how about a red-hot campaign slogan, such as: "I'd rather be MAYOR than PRESIDENT"

Special to The DemoCrasl

Naugatuck, Oct. 0-Coming from behind Io-point disadvantage at half time, the Wilby high school football Wildcats made Q game of it" against Naugatuck high Grey hounds, and though Naugy won, l0-l2, the game was a thriller in many respects. Coach Pete F,oley's lads, 6-l2 losers at Derby in their seasonal opening game, started an aerial offensive against Wilby in the very first period which was productive of two touchdowrs, COG Capt. Wally Armonaitis passing first to San Angelo and in the second period to Kraus, who was brought down inside the Wilby l0-yard line. Armonaitis scored both touchdowns, while 190-pound Chet Uszkawicz got the third six-pointOr after the Armonaitis to Kraus pass.
 Rally
 Wilby came roaring back in the third period, Jimmy Ahrens and Bill McGrath, wildcat lnalfbacks advancing the ball steadily. Beccia, Wilby end, scored the first Wilby touchdown in the third period, aft- CT, taking Q thirty-yard pass from McGrath, then running from inside the 40 to "pay-dirt."
 Naugatuck lost the ball on downs on the Wilby S5, Mcdrath galloping 25 yards and Ahrens 20 on two plays. The same pair took turns with the apple" again, McGrath getting to the Naugy 5 and Ahrens then scoring, after a couple of plays.
 Wilby injuries to McGrath, Ah- rerls and Capt. Eddie Cavanaugh, all-state tackle last season, cost the Purcell-coached boys Q chance to tie or win the game in the final period. Score:

Hope Seen For Nations s oxpoyers

Washington, Oct. 3-(UP) -Tax- payers were offered hope today of slightly more liberal federal income tax relief than the administration has proposed for next year.
 That prospect developed from tenative action of the House Ways and Means Committee, which init. ates tax legislation. It expects to complete consideration of the ad- minlstration's transition tax rec. concentrations today. AdminiStfas ton proposals for repeal of the ex. cess profits tax on business and excise tax cutbacks still awaited committee action.
 The committee rejected the ad. ininistrationS proposal yesterday for repeal of the three per cent normal tax Instead 1t agreed on . substitute, which in effect was equiyalent to repeal of the normal tax along with Q one per cent re- duction in surtax rates.
 Rep. Frank Carlson, R., Kans., offered the substitute. It provided for retention of the normal tax with exemptions raised to surtax exemption levels and for lowering existing surtax rates by four per cent.
 Under the present iaw, the nor. mai tax is levied on oil net income in excesg Of eB0O for each tAxpay- CT, with no exemptions for depend- efits. Tiie sirtax allows exemptions Of eBO0 for the taxpayer and each l deDnnaent

 The weather was to Hanks liking, The Yankees sold him because, n the Judgment of tjheir owners, Hank couldn't win after mid-seaSon when that hot sun began baking the major league baseball diamonds. But Hank already has thrown that estimate of his value back in the face of his former employers.
