 Naugatuck, Dec. l4--Naugy start ed its basketball season December [, when 1t played host to Oliver Wolcott Tech of Torrington. ct the YMCA. Raymond Foley, son of the late Peter J. Foley, coaches the Garnet and Gray hoop team this season.
 Naugatuck has made arrange ments with several new schools for basketball competition this year. Some are Seymour, New Britain and West Point Plebes.
 In past years, Naugatuck's games were played at the local "Y," but they will be divided this year be- tween the Waterbury Armory and the YMCA. This change was made because of the small seating ca- pacity of the Naugatuck 'Y." Prac- tees will also be held at the Armory in Waterbury.
 Coach Foley has stated that Naugatuck is expected to have Q successful year and that there will be tough" practice for the Grey hounds, who will be shooting for their third straight Naugatuck Val ley League championship.
 In addition to the Dec. ' game, Naugy plays Oliver Wolcott at Naugatuck tonight, and will play Trinity Boys Club Dec. 20.
 The complete schedule will be re- leased in a few days.
