 - At the Golf Lots on ThomaSton Avenue, Coach Tom Pllrceli's Wilby wildcats were very busy yesterday afternoon picking up the fine points of pass ofTense and defense from the Wilby coach. The Green and White mentor expects that his whole squad will be in "tip-top" condition for the big game bomor- row. He revealed to this writer that Jerry Becchia would start at fullback: Jimmy Ahrens. Wilbys ~oalloping oh0stg and ''Faashy" Frankie Datelle would work in the halfback slots, while Don Belanger, the wildcat passing artist, would call the signals in the quarterback post. The first string Wiiby line will be started against the Blue and white.

 hesgeneral consensus of opinion around town today was that Ahrens with his broken field running, Da- telle with his amazing drive power and Belanger with his bullet-like passes, would spell victory for the Grove Street gridsters. However, the older sports enthusiasts who have seen many a Crosby -Wilby game in past seasons, were inclined to frown on making Wiiby a de. ciAed fayorite because when there is a traditional rivalry involved. . game can 90 either way, they poinb out.

Usually when . team wins by such a margin fans are inclined to believe that the game will be all one sided, but when a high school footbal team can pile up 6e points against their opponent, they must have something on the ball.
 Coach Dill Tracy announced Wed- nesday to this writer that Joe Ma sotta will be back in the Tech line up this week and this is expected to give added impetus to the Engi- neer's ground offense.

Though few fight fans h cOn- nectlcut or New York expect worlde champion of the featherwelshls. Willie Pep of Hartford to lose to his classy rival of this evening.

Chairman Charley Reynolds of the Rhole Island ring commission is trying to have representatives of all six New England states boxing commissions meet in Bos- ton soon to discuss ways and means of eliminating the current abuses of the boxing business wherein boxers are allowed to enc ter the ring night after night: a situation which caused the recent death of Bobby Burton, a Negro boxer from Pittsburgh, working out of Manchester, New Hamp- ahire: because Burton had a heart condition which was bad enough to cause him to be barred from New York rings. He boxed in Manchester one night and the next night in Providence. where he died in the ring after body blows by another boxer of the same name.
