Speaking of Sports Young Ed Walsh, White Sox pltcher this seasen and a former Notre Dame bassbell star, was in this city yesterday afternoon as the guest of Matty Meskill, who was his classmate at college. He is the sen of “Big Bd" Walsh. ‘Walsh, whose home is in Meriden, came up to city to see how his ocousin, ‘Ralj Buckley, former could walk that he was NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 192, STAMFORD CRUSHE AS THE GREATEST|HIGH SCHOOL TEAM (Continued froin Preceding Page) other game of his career. There al- ways before had been & certain dig- nity about the way he accepted ap- plause.

It's “Chester” Conk- lin mow, What's the matter with the high School? was & common question asked about the city Saturday after- noon when the news of the defeat ‘was announced at the Herald. The high achool team ian’t so bad. It can improve in time to do damage - in the Hartford game if the back. field is strengthened. New Britain's line held opponent pretty well in check when it allowed it eight first downs to four. Stamford is a tough town on offi- clals, But when consideration s, given ‘the fact that Stamford High lost & total of 85 yards on penall- ties they had reason to kick. They “rode” the officials throughout the game, but the officials were fair and if the Stamford linemen stopped us- ing their hands on the offense and stopped holding, the penalities would not have been so heavy. New Britaln High will not meet anything like Stamford this week. The Coast Guard Junior Varsity is & weak team in comparison with the down state high school team. The Coast Guard team was de- feated by Norwich ' Free Academy and it tied with Chapman Technical &chool of New London Saturday, ‘West Hartford High school foot- ball team, which is coached by & New Britain man, Eric Norfeldt, has & chance to tle Manchester High achool for the Central Connecticut champlonship in a gamc between the two schools in Manchester Thurs- day afternoon of this week. Plainville Blues defeated the Ber- lin Panthers 7 to 0 in a game played in Plainville. Ray Schwab to Wesley Bchwab, brother combination, scored @ touchdown on a forward pass. A movement is under way to again put Johnny Grip in the good graces of Major Cavanaugh, head coach at Fordh&m university, who dropped Grip from the squad for disciplinary reasons, It will be known definitely wheth- er or not it succeeds within a day or two. Brown would have delighted Coach Cassidy of N. B. H. 8. Satur- day when it used the “shoe string" play which th¢ local mentor so favors. A Brown player pretended to be hurt and limped slowly across the field toward the bench, but when he reached the sidelines he straight- ened up and sprinted madly down the field for a forward pass that was hurled to him. The tragedy ‘was that, with no Yale man within 30 yards and the goal line only that far away, he failed to catch the ball. At that, the same play in modified form fooled Yale twice thereafter. One of the worst spills we have over seen on a football field occur- d at the same game when C. onroe of Brown and Miller of Yale collided head-on while both were running at breakneck pace. Monroe had just nipped a pass out of the air, and the two men hit each other like express trains and went dowp hard. Both had to be remov- od from the game. The Brown band got all tangled up-in playing its alma mater song between halves. The main group was playing one half of the chorus ‘while the saxophone. and clarinet section was playing the other, with the result that there were several ‘weird discords. And when the lead- or signalled for the end of the plece, one group stopped, and the saxophonists were left to play out Ralf the chorus all alone, Brothers sat in rival stands at Cambridge Saturday. Gustave and Gunnard Carlson of 779 East street, New Britain, were the fraternal op- ponents. “Gusz” is a junior at Har- vard, while “Gunnie” 15 now a yearling at West Point. Incidental- ly, when Gunnard comes to Yale ‘with the corps this Saturday, it will be as close to home as he has been since leaving for the military acad- emy in July, 1927, He never will admit that he isn't as good physically as ever. Ball play- ers never do. Ordinary humans seldom. His Legs Ave Gome But his intimate pals and good friends on the Yankee ' ball club think that his legs have gone. And that is another way of saying that he is through, His legs have been going for some time, of their burden and the punishment they have taken they have been a long time going. Cobb lasted longer, yes. And do did Speaker and Col- lins. But they weren't bullt out of proportion like the Babe with a heavyweight wrestler's trunk on a chorus girl's ankles, The Babe hardly coyld walk through the last games of the reg- ular season, and it was only the in. | spiration of a big moment that kept him moving in the series, There is a long scason coming for rest, it is true, but legs the age of the Babe's don’t come back, And the Babe is not resting, He Is out barnstorm- ing. The Yankees didn't want him to do it, but they knew better than 1o ask and didn't feel like command- ing. He is not barnstorming for nioney. He is enjoying himself at the only recrcation he loves, No Rest in Season The real hard test was applied to the Babe last season for the first time. He had to play through the whole season without a rest. And he broke down terribly under the strain, In previous years, by mis- fortunes which did him no good, he got a rest of two or three weeks, but this year he had to pound his legs up and down until they all but fell off him. Hia friends on the ball club think that he will not be able to play an- other season regularly, and the Yankee management is said to be making plans accordingly and is seeking a first-class regular alter- nate for him. The Babe always will be able to hit. Cobb still can hit, and so can McGraw, but the Babe isn’t hitting like he did. The infielders play in for him. They don't fear any more that they will be killed it the ball doesn’t go out of the park. The Lalls he didn’t knock out of the lot in St. Louis dropped where Douthit would have fielded them if he had been in position, But they are points beside the is- sue, The tipoff is that Babe in recent years always has had a limp. And the limp gets worse, The big fellow is not ready for the minors. He'll never go there. When he's through with the maprs he won't have to work, and he’ll never consent to be anything but a head-liner, He has another year to serve on his $70,000-a-year contract and he'll serve it out, but the ball players think he will serve it out as a very good ball player but not as the Babe, the greatest that ever lived. No one nced worry about the Babe's future. But it won't seem like bascball when he is gone and you can't say to your neighbor: “I see the Bahe smacked another one today.” 4 JOIE RAY AGAN . IN LOSING RAGE Beaten in Marathon by His Olympics Rival New York, Oct. 22 (M—SBomebody always is taking the joy out of life for “Chesty Joie" Ray. When Jole was a miler it was Paavo Nurmi the famous Finn, At the marathor distancz its El Ouaft, the little dark- skinned, wire-haired Arab, Making his professional running debut, Ray, once king of American milers, was distanced by El Ouafi who repeated, by a decisive margin, his triumph over the little Chicago- an in the Olympic marathon at Am- sterdam this summer. The Algerian's time was 32:44:65 2-5. & For 22 miles of the long grind, Ray appeared to have an excellent chance of reversing the verdict at Amsterdam just as Dorando Pietri did in 1908 over Johnny Hays, whe was awarded the 1908 Olympic marathon crown after Dorando col- lapsed a short distance from the fin- ish and was disqualified when friends dragged him across the line. Porando, however, obtained his re- venge when he beat Hayes in the old Madison Square Garden later in the same year, Not s0 Ray. The gallant little runner hung like a shadow to the spike-legged Arab for more than a score of miles, but in the end El Ouafi’s superior stamina told. Ray began to falter on the 23rd mile and the Arab, sensing his condition, im- mediately, lengthened his stride and soon picked up a full lap on the American, Befors the punishing grind of 26 miles, 385 yards was completed, El Ouafi had stretched his advantage to close upon three laps. £ Seven others started with Ray and El Ouafi, but only Arthur Newton, of South Africa, Juri Lossman,” of Esthonia and 8am Richman, of New York, were able to finish. El Ouafi collected $4,000 for his winning efforts; Ray $1,000 for sec- ond place; Newton, $750 for third; Lossman $500 for fourth, and Rich- man, $260 for fifth. ‘The coldest spot on earth is not the North Pole, but a new labora- tory in Berlin, where temperature as 1ow as 452 degrees below zero are obtained.

Best tackled Bowka for a two yard loss and on the next play Bowka ran back and threw a pass over the line. It was inter- cepted by Lione on his own 30 yard line and he started toward the right side of the field. While four Stam- ford players crowded about him he ran a pretty race for the goal line and covered the 70 yards with the ald of wonderful interference. The drop kick for the extra point failed of its mark and the score was Stamford 6; New Britain 0. Stamford kicked to New Britain and Sowka punted back. Bellos could not gain and Stamford kicked back to its own 45 yard line. A pass Sowka to Landino nettéd 13 yards and first down. Grip and Landino made eight yards to Stamford's 21 yard line.

Casale caught a forward pass for a gain of 13 yards and the ball was on Stamford's two yard line, Sowka hit the center of the line and just pushed the ball over by inches on New Britain's last down.

Only at this point during the game was the down-staters able to do much with the New Britain line. Bellos pinwheeled through center for a first down, but it lost 15 yards for using the hands on the offense. Bellos made five yards to New Brit- ain’s 40 yard line and New Britain took possession of the ball. Sowka made one of the most dis- astrous punts of the afternoon when he kicked offside on his 50 yard line. The wind had a great deal to do with carrying the ball over to the sideline. Bellos and Hanrahan made no gain, but on a double pass trick play Hanrahan made a first down between New Britain's right tackle and right end. Leone ran nine yards to New Brit- ain's 23 yard line apd Best made it first down on a two yard smack at HIGH PRESSURE ocenter.

Hanrahan dropped kicked for the extra point and the score was 19 to 16, At ‘this stage of the game the Stamnford team became reckless and it had uncanny luck in completing it passes. - One pass for 30 yards was completed on the 15-yard line. On the next play Leone took a pass and scored, but Romanis, a fellow backfield man was holding and the ball was brought back and 15-yard penalty was tacked on Coach Boyle's eleven. Romanis was nailed for a three- yard loss at the line but again the team rcturned to its forward passing attack and again this means of at- tack was effective. Hanrahan caught a pass on his 20-yard line and then caught another on his 13.yard line, but the total yardage did not bring a first down because of the penalties and losses. The ball was on New Britain's 38- yard line when New Britain regained possession. 8tamford was given a 15-yard penaity for holding and the ball was in midfield. Leone and Henderson, a colored end, took part in the feature play of the afternoon when the former threw a beautiful forward pass to the end who caught it on New Brit- ain’s 15-yard 'line and scored with- out trouble. Hanrahan made the drop kick for the extra point good and the Stamford team led 26 to 6. Bowka kicked to Romanis who ‘was stopped on his own 35-yard line.

All during the last three periods Fogarty tossed bce-line heaves which the ciever Marsan took on the dead run or which fell into the waiting arms of Captain Al Cornsweet, and Yale could not #stop this attack, simpte as it was in its fundamentals. Failure to cover Marsan probably gave Brown its two touchdowns, Ellis' 84 Yard Run But there was a bright side to the work of the sub backs.

Little Billhardt shot his way through the line for ~ome nice gains late in the game, l.oud and lLampe were efficlent as Garvey's ' understudies, and Miller made some good defen- sive plays. The Yale line 'stood up manfully under the rushes of the invading eleven, and Brown had o take to the air for any gains. Tloth for- ward walls made brilliant goal line stands at various times during the game. The work of Greene, Yale left guard, was perhaps outstanding. On his toes evety minute, Greene was usually found mext to the run- ner when the mountainous piles of players were disentangled. But Ellis, a track star, was| there was glory enough for au in the rival lines. For Brown, Fogarty’s accurate passes, Marsan's brilliant catches of them, and some long runs by Sube Quarter C.

The game was one for blood. Players on both sides tackled as they meant it, and there was quick piling up after a tackle. That feel- ing existed between the teams was evidenced on several occasions by wordy encounters between players, while en one occasion a Brown man, forced out of bounds, made a | swing at the ncarest Yale player and was roundly booed by the Elue cheering section, which continued to give Brown the “Bronx cheer” thereafter.
