Narrative:

Near miss occurred in the traffic pattern. Reporting aircraft was a bellanca scout towing a glider. Near miss occurred while towing aircraft was on crosswind departure. Another aircraft was entering downwind leg for landing. Towing aircraft was at approximately 1400 feet. Another aircraft passed approximately 200 feet below my aircraft and 100 feet ahead. No evasive maneuver was attempted by me since I was towing a glider. The other aircraft probably took no evasive action but announced on CTAF 'ive got the glider' as he passed below me. ZZZ is an uncontrolled field with no control tower. The weather was excellent and so there were a lot of take-offs and landing occurring. I was towing a glider which is a source of pilot distraction. The other aircraft appeared to make a non-standard approach. It did not enter the traffic pattern on a 45 degree angle. It made a direct entry.
