UP AT MICHIGAN Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 18 (UP)— Coach Tad Wieman is shaking up his Michigan University squad this week in an effort to add speed and to the backfield. He is using Capt. George Rich at fullback and John Tutzke and Jack Wheeler at the halves. All are trif o SON LEARNS FROM DAD ,son of Coach McGugin, is seeking a line berth on the football team at Vanderbilt this Saturday. A trio of Keystone state leaders, Penn State, Washington and Jefferson and Pittsburgh, went down in unexpected defeats last week, and two of them are out to climb back into the limelight by turning in upsets themselves. Penn State, beaten for the second successive year by Bucknell, by a 6 to 0 acore, hopes to repeat last year's comeback at the expense of Pennsylvania. A year ago Nittany Lions accomplished that feat when Penn was a favorite. Having run up a total of 147 points in three minor games, Penn is generally favored this year and a Penn State triumph would put the Lions back on their feet again, Penn State is handicapped by the loss of two first string linemen, Ricker and Shawley, who were in- jured in the Bucknell game. A large part of this week's work has been devoted to a search for subatitutes to bear the brunt of Penn’s power- ful attack. Penn also has a tale of woe in the loss of Ralph Monk, star guard, who will be kept out of the game by a boil on his arm. So far his absence has had no visible effect on the Penn attack which covered 80 yards in seven plays yesterday to score on a strong scrub team. Second in interest to the Penn- Penn State encounter is the meet- ing between the western Pennsyl- vania rivals, W. and J., and Carne- gie Tech. The Presidents were the victims of an upset at the hands of Duquesne Baturday and like Penn State are out to wipe out the stain by beating a stronger team. Carne- gle has a powerful aggregation but it is not impregnable. Thiel scored twice on the Bkilos last week, al- though losing 45 to 13, and West- minster crossed the Carnegie goal line in the opening game. Pittsburgh, which was on the short end of a 9 to 6 acore in the West Virginia game last week has a comparatively weak opponent in Allegheny and has only the prospect of running up a large score to make up for the defeat. Allegheny, which showed strength in scoring twice on Dartmouth, has a good opening to add another upset to the growing list. West Virginia also seems to have a soft spot in Washington and Lee which was beaten by Kentucky last Saturday. The Mountaineers have a 6-6 tie left from last year to clean off the books. Bucknell, the giant killer,' continues along its tough schedule by entertaining Lafayette at Lewisburg. The contest would look like an easy one for the Easton boys were it not for Bucknell's habit of winning games it should lose. Syracuse, the eastern entry in the intersectional wars, already is on its ay to Lincoln where there is a lit- tle matter of a 21 to 0 defeat by the Cornhuskers last year to clean up. In other parts of the eastern front the Army and Harvard teams are presenting the leading encounter with the Yale-Brown and Columbia- Dartmouth struggles as secondary attractions. The Cadets never have beaten I'arvard and have scored only once but they believe this is their year to break (he Crimson charm. The game at New Haven is full of doubt because of the condition of both the Yale and the Brown squads. Coach Mal Stevens sent his men through their first scrimmage since the opening game yesterday but still is taking no chances on fur- ther injuries to his fragile stars. Brown aiso has a long list of minor injuries. Although Columbia has not beat- en Dartmouth in 27 years, the pros- pects for the New Yorkers look bet- ter than they have in some time. The Columbia attack looks strong while the Dartmouth defense has been penetrated on several occasions by lesser opponents. Princeton and Navy are working hard to develop strength for their meetings with Lehigh and Duke, the Tigers on their line which showed weakness against Virginia and the Midshipmen on an attack which has failed to appear so far this season. NO PRACTICE YET South Bend, Ind., Oct. 18 (UP)— Notre Damies’ varsity team will go into the game with Georgia Tech Saturday without having had a single practice since the victory over the Navy. Rain kept the varsity men in the field house all week, and all they learned of Georgia Tech plays was through dummy scrim- mage. WESLEYAN WORKS OUT Middletown, Oct, 18 (UP)—Coach Bill Wood's preparation for Satur- day's Rochester-Wesleyan game here is consisting largely ! of strengthening his line and develop- ment of his defense. Rochester won 7-0 last year. AGGIES NEW LINEMAN 8torrs, Oct. 18 (UP)—Fred Schwartz, 210-pound sophomore, has Standing, left to right—. Manager Cabay. JOHN KLATKA “IN THE BAG” CLAIMS John Daugherty Thinks That Op- ponents Being Picked for the Nutmegs Are Chiefly Set-ups, John Daugherty indicates in a letter to the sports editor that the teams which arc being booked as at- tractions for the Nutmeg A. C., are not “so hot” and that they are out to have a good season as far as vic- tories are concerned. He bases his opinion on the comparative acore of the Pawnee-Ockford and the Ock- ford-Sub Base games. Here is what Mr. Daugherty has to say: “Editor, “New Britain Herald, “City, \ “Dear Sir: “I would like ‘to say a few words in regard to the Nutmeg-Sub Base footbail game scheduled for this Sunday. “It seems that the Nutmeg foot- ball team in this city sure intends to have a good season this year h\ re- gard to wins. “Here are some facts. The Ock- fords and Sub Base teams of New London on October Tth battled to & scoreless tie. The following Sunday, October 14th, the Pawnees, a semi- pro team of this city, were defeated by the Ockfords, 19 to 6, not a bad score if the Ockford team is sup- posed to be in a class with the Nut- megs. “Hoping this will be published in your paper at an early date, “1 remain, “AN ARDENT FOOTBALL FAN, John Daugherty.” Andre and Lexington Lodges Are Winners Andre and Lexing*sn lodges of 0dd Fellows were the winners in the intra-lodge bowling leagues held at Fraterpity bowling alleys last night.

J, Oct. 18 (P— Being held to a scoreless tie by Vir- ginia merely means a new oppor- tunity to Bill Roper, Princeton foot- ball coach, Speaking at a luncheon given for a group of newspapermen yesterday, Roper said: “We are far from discouraged by the tie game with Virginia and it will be a big help in preparing the team, We made mistakes in that game that we can correct and the experience will be much mare valu- able to the men than hours of mere lecturing.” Concerning Princeton's prospects for the rest of the season Roper said he expected to reach the Ohio State game with a clean sl but that the Buckeye would offer the stiffest kind of opposition. “They certainly will come up ready for the hardest sort of play,” he &aid. “They are tre- mendously anxious to wipe out their hard luck here in the east in 1927 and they are a hard rugged team. “I don’t need to say anything about Yale,” Roper continued. “Yale always gives Princeton a terrific battle, and I am not being deceived at all by the early season record of Navy. There is good football down there, and some of it will be played before this scason is ended.” Falcon Baseball Team Will Play Convicts | The Falcon baseball team will travel to Ossing, N. Y.

I have seen as much of the track as most runners and I am ready to retire.” When asked if he planned to go east in the spring, Hahn said, “I Il never go east again to run, you can count on that. I will never put on my shoes again. I'm through.” As to his future plans the famous Hahn was silent. FIGHTS LAST NIGHT By the Associated Press.

The only hope expressed by some is that the Red and Gold line will held Stam- ford's great scoring machine to a low scor In the opinion of Coach Michael A. Boyle of the Stamford team who has been connected with the Stam. ford athletic department for 22 years, New Britain and Stamford have never met in football and their last meeting was in basketball about 15 years ago. Tickets for the game are being sold rapidly in that city and a record crowd will be on hand to see the New Britain team in action, it is expected. They have been reading of the Red and Gold's prowess on the gridiron for years and they are going to see for themselves just how good the Hardware City team really is. Stamford has four members of last year's team which swept opposi. tion before it and as the yinner in every game but one. They are Mil. ler, Liene, Hanrahan, and Wynne. Miller and Wynne are tackles and Lione and Hanrahan are quarterback and half back respectively. The coach has coliected & team conaisting of these four regulars and meveral of last year's substitutes as well as some new men and the team appears to be as good as that which represented the school last year, It has won three games and in »so doing it scored 89 points to its opponents’ The officials of the game will be the following: French who refereed last week's New Britain High.

VET BACK AT CORNELL Ithaca, Oct. 18 (UP)—John An- derson, regular tackle for Cornell lust season, has rejoined the team, and Coach Dobie is trying to find a place for him. Anderson had a leg operation when he returned from the Olympic games and it was doubtful whether he could get back in the lineup. Wonder What the Graf Zep Thought About cessful Coach—Kensing- ton Winner of Greater New Britain Title. Ambitions of six years were finally realized this season by the Falcon baseball team when it captured the championship of the city for the first Ume by virtue of its victories over the Burritts, - Stanley Works and Rangers aggregations. The Burritts captured the title in the City league for two years in a ro the Stanley Works nine won the championship in the Industrial lea. gue during the past season and the Rangers were the leading road team of the city. In 1923 the Polish-Falcon seclety decided to organize a baseball team. The first Falcon nine appeared the City league. In 192¢ the Fal cons took to the road and rolled up a long string of wins but were de- feated In two straight games by the Corbin Red Sox nine in the playoft for the city title. Coming back strong again in 1925 the Falcons again amassed a long string of victories but _the Corbin nine again dumped them in the city champlonship series. The fellowing weason of 1926 was a duplicate of the two seasons previous. Due to certain matters the Falcons and Cor- bins did not come to an agreement in regard to a series and the Polish nine played the Kensington crew for the Greater New Britain title. As usual the championship games prov- ed a jinx to the Falcons and Ken. sington won the series. Last year proved to be the best season of all for the Falcon nine and it was a two to one faverite to win the city title. Corbins won three straight games that literally :enz, the Falcons dassled on their ee! The Polish aggregation started out with renewed determination this year and banded together a strong nine composed of local and Hartford remi-pro stars. Ray Begley, one of the leading players in the city in his day, and still & very good perfermer, was engaged to coach the team. After & poor start the team hit its stride and won game after game. Its longest string of wins was ten straight, made behind the brilllant pitching of “Lefty” Atwood. The Rangers were the first to meet the Falcons in the eity series. After a hard battle the Polish team nesed out & § to 3 win. Next eame the Burritts. The old finx again ap- peared when the Burritts captured the first game of the series by & to 2 score in 11 innings. However, the Falcons smashed traditions to pieces and took the next two games and the series by 14 to Sand St 8 scores. The Stanley Works team proved te be a tough proposition but after nine innings of hectic playing the Falcons emerged & winner by & 3 te 0 score and won the city title fer the first time. The Falcons played good ball all year and deserve all the homors which they won at the conelusion of the season. The team hit hard and was steady in the pinches, es- pecially against the strongest nines (Continued on Following Page) By BRIGGS WELL SIR IF IT AIN'T TiRED WHAT | AmM- | VISH | VASS BACK W miNG Licse VATERLAND ONCE AGAIN ALREADY Ys-r - - OCE=AN OCEAN, ocean!
