CROSBY STRONG PRE-CAME PICK OVER WILEY il
BY JOHN A. CLuNEY

When the youthful football rep resentativos of two local high schools, named for Minot sherman Crosby and Stephen William Wilby get together on the emerald turf Of waterbury's municipal stadium to- morrow morning, many of the G,O0O to 10000 expected spectators will be looking for the ireXpected.
 Wilby's early struggle in sports was a momentous one, including regular setbacks season after season in basketball. baseball and football during 1919. 1920, 1921 and 1922 but the sun of victory finally broke through the clouds of defeat on Turkey Day, 1924, when Wilby not only won its first football game from Crosby, but blanked the Blue and White George Taylor boys to the tune of two touchdowns, for a final 1920 score.
 Tomorrow, Crosby will be "in the ascendancy" again, or at least is expected to have pretty much it's own away against a l945 Wildcat gridiron combination that has yet to win its first game after six

By CORNELIUS RYAN

New York, Nov. 21 - (UP) - Hal Newhouser, whose left handed pitching magic produced 54 Detroit victories in two seasons, became the American Leagues most valuable player today, the first man to win the award two years consecutiyely since Jimmy Foxx turned the trick with Philadelphia in l933-34.
 Newhouser, winning by comfort able margin over his teammate, Second Baseman Eddie Mayo, and Foxx are the only players ever to be named consecutiyely in either major league.
 The lanky speed-ball artist, Tiger home town boy, conquered arm trouble and lame back to pace Detroit to an American league pen- nant with 25 victories, then gave them the world championship by beating the Chicago Cubs in the seventh game of the world series. He came back to win two series games after being knocked out Of the box in the opening game.
 The 24-year-old veteran received 236 points and nine out of "A first place ballots from the selection eom- mittee of baseball writers. Mayor was named on seven first place ball lots, getting l64 points and Second Baseman George Stirnweiss of the Yankees, who placed third with l6l points, was the top choice of four writers
 Fourth place went to Dave Ferris, the Boston Red Sox rookie pitching sensation with two first place ballots and l48 points and fifth to George Myatt, Washington Senator infielder with one top vote and 98 points.
 Newhouser's point total was exact ly the same as he received last year when he edged out his pitching colleague, Paul (Dizzy) Trout by one point,
 Leading the league in strikeouS, with 2ll, and in shutouts, with nine, he was Manager Steve O'Neills choice for the clutch games which came often during the hectic wide open race for the pennant. Fre- quently he pitched with only a day or two of rest, winning three Key games in the final week of the sea- son. He also topped the league in number of complete games, 2e, and pitched the most innings, 3l2,
 Newhouser will receive the second annual KenesaW Mountain Lands Memorial plaque, awarded to the designated player in each league. Phil Cayaretta of the Chicago Cubs was named to the National league honor last week

LabruCherie United Press Coach of the Week
BY CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Shorts Writer

New 4Ork, Nov. l-(UP)-I'he critics, and they were legion, who said the Pacific coast conference was too weak to send a first rate team into the Rose Bowl were sil- ent today,
 One mans long range planning stopped that talk.
 He's the United Press coach of the week, Bert Labrueherie, whose Uni- yersity of California at Los Angeles Bruins performed the upset of the year on the West Coast by trim- ming perfect record St, Mary's, l3 tO 2,
 One year out of the high school coaching ranks, LabrucEerie may not manage to get his U, c, L. A, football team into the Rose Bowl, but he at least has restored a healthy respect for the Pacific cons ference and therell be no criticism of the team that does get to Pas adena on New Years Day,
 LaDneherie endowed with only average material when he moved up from Los Angeles high school to succeed Babe H0rrell at U, c, L, A, last season wasn't expected to go far in his first year,
 And when he lost his key halt- back, speedy Cal Rossi 10 the Har- yard Naval School in october, it was a blow that might well have wrecked the team All Of the quick opening plays from the TT" torma- ton were built around Rossl and his speed, but Lubrueherie an- nouneed 10 the squad that "the teams the things and we'll show them 2 thing or two anyway. "He couldn't have done better job against s. Mary's if Rossi had still been there,
 PiayeF--se0uts
 He admits that he had q lot Of time Co think about that big game, Since D. c. l.. A had a three week layoff And the boys took advantage Of it by doing their own scouting, the entire squad watching St. Mary's play in the three games in which |. was idle,
 T think We learned q lot from the game In which st. Mary's beat Southern California, 26 to O." he said. some of the boys seemed to notice weakness in St. Mary's pass defense and in the line at the tack les. They certainly took advantage of what they learned.'
 Labrueherie was as amazed as the 900O0 fans in Los Angeles coliseum

THE increasing life span of the
average person has brought into
prominence the treatment of older
persons for diseases that are De-
culiar to advanced years.
One of these disorders, in men.
is enlargement of the prostate
gland, which leads to a blocking
OF the flow of the urine. 1t would
appear thst some form of opera-
tive treatment is required to re-
lieve this disorder in practically
all cases. In many cases the op-
Grafton is a simple one.
Medical Preparation
According to Doctors Clarence
G. Bandler and Philip r. Roen of
New York, the medical
ton of all patients for operation
is important. The patients must
be carefully examined, and if any
disorders I present which can
be corrected, they should be re-
heved. The patient may have
other conditions, such as diabetes
or anemia.
If the patient is found to be
suffering from diabetes, this dis
order must, of course, be treated
by the use of insulin and diet. If
there is anemia or a lessening of
the coloring in the blood, blood
transfusions may be necessary.
The patients general nutrition
should be built up as much as Dos
sible, if necessary, and he may be
given special vitamin prepara-
tons to make sure that no vitamin
deficiency exists.
Acute Blocking
Many of the patients with Sc
we're prostate trouble, when they
first enter the hospital, are suffer-
ing from an acute blocking of the
urinary flow, so that it is neces-
sary to empty the bladder at reg
ular intervals by passing a rubber
tube known as a catheter into the
bladder. This is carried out at
about eight-hour intervals. Of
course. this procedure must be
carefully carried out in order to
avoid the occurrence of infections.
Some of the patients also are
suffering from damaged kidneys,
