This game will be called at 1:30 o'clock at Willow Brook park. For years the Blues have been doing good work in football and have captured the city champion- ship regularly. This year, however, the team has the semi-professional field to itself and has been a suc- cess. This year's team is faster, heavier, and more powerful than any which has preceded it and al- ready its rooters have put in in a class with the Nutmegs, the Hart- ford Giants, and the All-Torrington ' teams. Should the Blues succeed in de- feating the Hartford Pioneers it will immediately begin plans to place it self in line for the professional foot- ball champlonship of the state. Ac- cording to present plans it will be gin plans for games with the All- Torrington, the Hartford Giants and then for a final windup with the Nutmegs in a game which might declde the city or the state cham- onship. l“Ono :f the best features of the Blues offense is its forward passing attack. In Waterbury the team was given a great hand by the ad- miring public because of its success at this game. Al Fengler who was the forward passing threat at high school throws 'em for the Blues. With & powerful line plunging back like Kayeski who resembles Eddie Barnikow in his— play and a heavy line to withstand the attack of the opponent, the Blues chances tomorrow are very good. Harry Ginsburg will be the referee, “Keck” Parker will be um- pire and George M. Cassidy will be headlinesman in both games. WINS BUT LOSES — Panlino Knocks Peterson Out But Loses Head, Hits Him When Down and Forfeits Bout, New York, Oct. 20 (P—Paulino Uzcudun, Spanish woodchopper, had 2 defeat on his fistic record today to remind him that haste makes waste, Paulino acted a bit hurriedly in his ten round battle with Big Boy Peterson at Ebbets field last night, made the mistake of hitting a man who was already down and out and accordingly was disqualified on a foul. Thus he wasted a perfectly good victory. Peterson, & Minnecapolis product, gave Paulino as good as he received opening & new American invasion after a long layoff, soon found the range in the sccond round and floored the westerner for a count of nine. As Peterson got up, the Bus- que leaped in with both hands and sent the Big Boy down and out. Losing his head completely, Paulino then landed another punch while Peterson lay unconscious, his head hung over the middle rope. The Spaniard’s disqualification followed as & matter of course while the rain- drenched crowd of $5,000 apparently unaware of the foul punch, booed lustily.

Uncle Sam’s boys in blue will sail into the Nutmeogs at Memorial Field in the second game of a football double header tomorrow afternoon. It will be the annual football con- test between the Sub Base and the New Britain professional team, and as usual a large crowd is expected to watch the game. There should be plenty of noise at Willow Brook park with sallor rooters on the sidelines pulling foe their team to accomplish a feat which has not been done in the per- fod of time both teams have been playing—to put over a victory on the New Britain team. Year in and year out the teams have been meeting, but the Navy has never won. This year the team, strengthened by several new players will be a stronger outfit than any which has previously shown in this city, according to the manager who has writen in a letter to the New Dritain manager. It New Britain is to stay in the running for the state football cham- plonship it will have to take the Sub Base team into camp. A defeat for the Hardware City eleven may put the team out of the running. This will be the last obstacle in the path of the New Britain grid team before the Hartford game and the local eleven is anxlous to start this game without a Connecticut defeat chalk- ed up against it. New Britain’s chances are good. Bulkley and Conklin have recovered from their infuries as has “Unk" Conley and they will probably be started in the game. New London will be represented by two full teams. PACIFIC COAST GRID | thousand persons held tickets.

New Britain will have to be at its best and will have to improve on i offense at least 50 per cent if it is to win. 80 far the team has lacked punch especially at a time when it was most needed. The Red and Gold eleven did a good job in the Pitts- ford game when it scored three touchdowns in quarters of eight and six minutes but in the Pittsfield and Bulkeley games the backfield fell down when it was called upon for scores although it did good work when it was a good distance from the opponents goal. Harry French of Meriden will be the referee, Eddie Hart, also of Mer- iden will be umpire and Murphy of Waterbury will be headlinesman.

A 1¢ to 13 victory over the 8. M. U. Mus- tangs featured the first intersection- al contest for the east. Temorrow the Army meets Harvard, and after the Crimson come Yale, Notre Dame Nebraska and Stanford. Should the Army eleven go through the season undefeated, which is not likely, Cagle and Sprague would certainly earn all-American ranking. Last season Sprague was consid- ered one of the best linesmen in the east, recelving several mentions for the All-American team. Cagle, in 1927 was used as the decoy for the great “Lighthorse Harry” Wilson. As is often the case with a player like Wilson, the spectators tend to forget the teammates who make his brilliance possible. Cagle was al- wayg found clearing the way for Wilson, taking the ball when the latter tired, or using himsel? up on a fake threat. This year he will not have to bask in the reflected glory of another backfield star. At the beginning of the season, Cagle was the triple threat star in the Army backfleld. He can punt and pass well and figures to be a tent ground gainer. He is a runner and relies upon shifti- ness more than speed to get him through a broken fleld. A strong offensive has been built around the dashing Cagle by Coach Jones. Cagle leads the running at- tack, with Murrell running inter- ference and Nave doing the passing. In the opening game of the sea- son between Army and Boston unf. versity, Cagle got mway to a flying start. After the first five plays, crack Army halfback, moving behind perfect interfcrence, sigsagged his way for more than €0 yards through the entire Boston university team. The fact that the Army was off-side and the play was called back does not take away any of the brilliance of Cagle's run, Coach Jones had little to worry about regarding the tackle positions at the beginning of the season. Cap- tain Sprague, who starred all through the last campaign was at one post, and there was no need to worry abou that section of the line, Sprague is rugged and strong with the added benefit of lots of experl. ence, Furthermore he is equally adept at smashing a hole in the op- posing line for his own backs or breaking up the enemy offensive. The choice for the other position has been among Dibb, Ellas and Perry, \ Like Harry Wilson, Sprague was a star in college before entering the Military Academy. He played four years of football on the Oak Cliff High school team before entering the University of Texas in 1921. He enjoyed a brilllant career in the southwest conference, making the all-conference team twice and was easily recognized as the outstanding linesman in the conference. In the opening game of the sea- son against Boston university, the Army, demonstrated untold iIndivid- ual and collective power and it in- dicated a dangerous aerial attack. Playing Southern Methodist the Army proved weak against the tricky lateral passes of the mus- tangs. The Army defense proved powerful, but the defense of the Methodists was the actual surprise of the game. Coach Jones had some interesting figures on the 8. M. U. game com- piled by five men. 8. M. U. threw an amazing total of 39 passes, com- pleted 16 for a total gain of 263 yards. The Army threw 17, com- pleted five for a gain of €0 yards. The Army made 267 yards rushing on line drives against &3 for the Mustangs. Dartmputh Is Fuing' First Real Hard Test Hanover, N. H,, Oct. 20 (UP)— Dartmouth faced its first major test ot the season today in meeting Co- lumbia for the first tine since 1923. Although in that year the “Big Green” wap victorious by the wide margin of 31 to 6, the Lions were regarded today as a formidable foe and the odds on Dartmouth were not heavy.

Wesleyan Eleven Faces Tough Rochester Team Middletown, Oct. 20 (UP)—Wes. leyan's football team faces the Uni- versity of Rochester today in the second home game on Andrus field. The opening game here was a win over Bates. Then Wesleyan dropped out-of-town games to Connecticut Aggie and Columbia. . Rochester is reputed to have an eleven fully as strong a8 that which defeated the Cardinal and Black 7 to 0 last fall, with a fast running attack built around Straub and Zarnoff.

CAL Am ) SEEING WHAT\} NExT 7 ‘ MAGNFICENT WEST POINTERS ON TOP INALL BETS Rue {07 Favrte to Wi Hamnd Tody Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 30 (UP)— After 18 years of pigskin peace, Harvard and Army, old-time grid- fron rivals, will rencw hostilities be- fore & capacity crowd ef §4,000 in the Harvard Stadium this afternoon with West Point a 10-7 favorite. The Crimaon eleven will be one whose goal-line has yet to be croas- ed this season, and the Cadet team will be one which has triumphed in three out of three starts and which is heralded as perhaps ‘the greatest football aggregatign in the east. Cool and partly cloudy weather was forecast, with indications that rain would not serve as a handicap to the revival of football relations between the two aneient foes. It was to be a battle between Army brawn and might and Har- vard speed and deception, and those who bet appeared to believe that the hard-hitting Cadets would prove more than a match for the tricky Crimson offense which has been d veloped especially for the occasion. The names of Bprague, Perry, Hammack, Cagle and Murrell loom- ed large in the West Point lineup as the Army prepared to seek revenge for.the 13 straight defeats adminis- tered to it by Harvard in the days prior to 1910. But the Crimson banked on such stars as young Tom Gilligan, Captain “Art” French, Harper and Guarnaccia to pull it through. Harvard had one distinct advan- tage—an ample supply of substi- tutes. The Army, on the other hand, s an 11-maen football team this season, and it will be virtually impossible for Coach “Biff” Jones to make a substitution without measurably weakening his eleven. Neither Jones nor Coach Arnold Horween of Harvard was willing this morning to predict the outcome of the game. . Both professed to be confident, however, and both made it plain that defeat would not be accompanied by alibls, The Cadet corps, 1200 strong, ar- rived in Hoston this morning for the same, The probable lineups: Harvard Pickard ....... left end Barrett coooo.-. .

Brit- ton added his 1éth victim in a row Tuesday night at Portland, Me., by punching Laddie Lee to all corners of the ring. Britton is truly a phenomenon of the ring. At ¢3 he is the father of five ehildren, but-his speed, agil! gy stamina, cleverness and hitting pow- er completely belle Lis age. Tha$ Britton may yet recapture the wele terweight champlonship he held 10 and more years ago is' cBnsidered more than a mere posaibility. It is a well known fact that Cham Joe Dundee refused a guarantee of $50,000 to meet him with the title at stake, The Irishman's opponent Monday was not even born when he statted fighting at 19 years old. Earlier In his career Jack showed flashes of science that indicated a bright fu- ture for him, which later proved true, Britton is unmarked despite his more than 400 battles. On paper he figures to outpoint Cohen, but the Paper City maulqr is always at his best against a boxing type of fighter. Against such clever and experienced performers as Lew Tendler, George Levine, Georgie Ward, Vincent Forgione, Al Mello and several others Cohen showed superior form. The fistic game has had but few more scientific boxers than Tendler, but Cohen took a hard earned de. cision over him. The same went for Levine, who had halted Tommy Mil. ligan's rise to fame, as the New Yorker was batter into defeat by the stronger Cohen. Cohen is 13 years old and after & long rest is primed to the helght of condition. Both boys will wind up their training at the Bijou gym Sun. day afternoon, Britton at 2 o'clock and Cohen one hour later.
