ZANUCK'S production of W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM'S oews POLI Donahue Coached Team Has Been Coming Along Fast After Poor Early Season Start The basketball game with Tor- rlngton High school tomorrow nlgtit at the Torrington armory looms ae- another tough obstacle in the path to a third Naugafuck Valley league basketball championship for the: N. H. S. Greyhounds.

Torrlngton Is a team which slowly earlier In the season, but has lately been coming along at a fast pace. Given'the advantage of playing on their home floor, they will bo a hard team to beat. The Leavenworth Toch Tigers'had to fight to stave off a late rally by Torrington-' to win toy five -points last Wednesday night at -the -Waterbury armory. This fact would in dicate that Torrington is now vastly Improved over the squad which lost by ten points on its own floor to Tech earlier In the season. Coach Ray Foley of the Greyhounds will probably start his regular lineup of BobStauffer and Vin Heoly at forwards, Big Chet Usca- Kiewicz at center, and Joe Healy and Bob Jones at guards.

He will have Labriola, Aquavia, Tamsey, Mariano and Roland ready as first line replacements. Coach Connie Donahue of Torrington will probably call on forwards, Samele and Kruleski, center, Krlcho, and guards. Alexander and Mowalaniec to start, No tickets for the game are available locally; the allotment to the high school was barely enough to meet student requirements. Coach Donahue of Torlrngton Indicated earlier in the week that a public sole tit the Torrington armory was extremely unlikely.

The league has given over next Friday for the March of Dimes that will be in the YMCA Gymnafium. The following letter which was received earlier is the IB worthy of note because it Is typical of the excellent spirit with which borough sportsdom has volunteered to do Its duty in- the March of Dimes, We think It deserves a public hearing to 'help along a good cause. Further by prlritltig it in' his ctolunin and writing an answer the sports 'editor will save three cent stamp.

The letter follows: Jan. 20, 1947. Mr. Tom 'Egan Sports Editor Naugatuck. News Dear Tom I would' like to ask you to start ah all sports division of the March of Dimes for the benefit of the -Infantile Paralysis.

I know that Ch-airman Frank Green would 5-ay that this idea is a very good one and he would cooperate. Here is my-suggestion Wo could arrange a sports night at the YMCA for this affair. Thero are four good teams in the boroujri, the High School, Purple Knights, Zephyrs and U.

S. Rubber. They eoula play some nig-Wt they are'n'ot otherwise scheduled. I know that the managers -and players of these teams would gladly give services free We could name a committee arid call a meeting some night next week. We could also c'ontact the owners 1 of the' Bowling alleys in town to lave one night for this great cause Toping that this goes over (vith ,1 bang for the March of Dimes.

I remain. You IT in sport, Frank Shea. PURDUE HEADMAN furple Knights To Take Part In March Of Dimes Benefit learn Prospect Hands Salem First Grammar School Defeat Agree To- Meet U. S.

Manager Waiter Ploski explained that because of work schedules two first members ol the Knighti would -not be able to play if the went on early. He therefore requested that the Knlght-U. Rubber played last: A rather intense rivalry exisU Between the Rubber team and the Knights and it would be unfair for either team to, be forced to take tho floor at anything less than full strength.

Consequently, Postmaster Frank T. Green, chairman of the rlrive for funds, readily agreed Vo the request for change. Both teams will go all out to win Rame; the Knights especially are out to keap as many wins BJ possible on their record which now tands at nine-out of II. The Rubber team, on the other ia.nd, is regarded by 'many as the jest team the'borough and will out to live up to this Both Manager Eddie Nolde of the Morticians and Coach Ed Mcarthy of the Pout Office Big Five -agreed to-the time change. can beat the Post Office any nour of Ihe day or night," Noldc declared "Anv time is all right with jjs," McCarthy had this to say: just Mom of well for the.

Dear Frank: Thank you for your letter; it contains an excellent, suggestion.
