NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1928 - . MANY DISAPPOINTED IN NOT GETTING TICKETS TO ARMY.YALE GAME—BOYS’ CLUB ACTIVITIES—AMERICAN LEAGUE FIELD IN NEW YORK MAY BE GREATLY ENLARGED—HANDBALL CONTINUES AT FAST PACE AT Y. M. C.

Just as Hard Fought— Cornell Battles Prince- ton. New York, Oct. 23 (P—Success- ful in detaching the Crimson scalp | of Harvard, the football Cadets of ! West Point are on the warpath for a Blue one. They expect to find it at New Haven against Yale this Sat- urday, Finding scalps is none too diffi- cult, but removing them is another thing altogether. expected to resent and resist witl determination any attempt at hir sute amputation. There's more to this battle than appears to the naked eye. Yale has romped through Maine, Georgia and Brown so far and, at the moment at least, it appears that Old Eli can very well end the season undefeated, provided the army juggernaut can be met and conquered. After Army and Yale schedule calls for battles | with Dartmouth, Maryland, Prince- ton and Harvard. No soft spots there, it must be admitted, but it does seem as though Army is the biggest hurdle to be cleared. Army, attempting as ambitious a schédule as any college eleven in the land, has swept Boston universi- ty, Southern Methodist, Providence and Harvard into defeat, after meet- ing Yale must battle with Depauw, Notre Dame, Carleton, Nebraska and Stanford. A clean sweep through a achedule like that would just about entitle “Biff”” Jones' warriors to un- dispated national honors, whatever any other eleven was able to do. 80 the battle of New Haven, will be the Waterloo of one of two lead- ing contenders for the champion- ship, both section and national. Late season developments may prove that neither is a contender, but that's not the case now. Dartmouth, another leading can- didate at present, tackles Harvard, which has time this week to learn that fumbles are costly. They were the deciding factor in the Army game, and Dartmouth’s Indians may be expected te take advantage of every opportunity the Crimson af- fords them. Bix of the Atlantic seaboard's un- defeated and untied elevens will enter Saturday's battles with a pray- er. Carnegie Tech meets Pittsburgh and hopes to win, although realizing that the Panther, beaten by West Virginia, is a dangcrous foe at any time, New York university must de- fend its clean record against Col- gate, which has lost only in inter- sectional combat with Vanderbilt. Cornell Tackles Princeton Cornell meets her first major test against a Princeton eleven tied by Virginia but not yet defeated. Wil- liams' streak may end before Co- lumbia’s attack although the Lions will be badly erippled with Hank Kumpf out of the game the rest of the season. Tufts, boasting an un- defeated record for a season and a half, battled Tuss McLaughry's Brown Bears and Duquesne may well fear for its victory string against Geneva, Pennsylvania has little fear of Navy and Georgetown players are not reported to be losing any sleep over the approaching intersectional battle with Duke. The rest of the un. beaten and untied array—Temple Villanova, Haverford, and Boston College—are to be pitted against opposition the “dope” favors them to defeat. Syracuse, whose record is marred only by an intersectional one-point defeat by Nebraska, meets Penn State and Lafayette, tied by Beknell but not defeated, nicets the strong mountaineers of West Virginia. Marquette comes east to try conclu- sions with Holy Cross again. Wash- ington and Jefferson, beaten by Duquesne and trounced by Carnegie Tech figures as a distinct underdog against Fordham. A “Little Three’ clash between Wesleyan and Am- herst and the Buckneil-Gettysburg duel at the Civil war battlefield round out the day’s principal attrac- tions. Brown’s Coach Changes Makeup of His Lines Providence, R. I, Oct. 23 (I'P)— Coach Tuss McLaughry of Brown has deeided to abandon his plan, under which he had two lines of ecqual ‘strength. Hereafter the team A frontier will include the best men and team B will be composed of reserves. Toots Munroe, It developed terday, will be definitely lost for the season as result of a fractured cheek bone. yes- = = —————— Charter House— Young Men's Clothing TAILORED BY FASHION PARK $25.00 to $45.00 Fitch-Jones Co.

VALEWEST POINT TIGHETS OVERSOLD Applications Cat for First Time 14,000 Extra Roquests (Bpecial to the Herald) New Haven, Oct. 23.—For the first time in the history of the an- nual Yale-Army grid classic the number of tickets applied for by season ticket holders has exceeded the tottal of seats available and it has been necessary to deny appli- cants their full requested allotments and refund some of their money. The total number of seats requested 88,839, according to H. F. Woodock, general manager of ath- letics, while there are only 74,786 spectators’ seats in the Bowl, leav- | ing 14,058 requested tickets which ‘cannot be granted. A heavy in- | crease in the number of tickets re- quired by the West Point athletic association is partly responsible for | the situation. In order to meet this situation there has been a cutting of requisi- tions all along the line. Large numbers of alumni and under- graduate applications are being cut, | and it has been necessary to re- strict season ticket holders to two seats aplece. Those whoasked for this number are therefore receiving their full allotment, while appli- cants for larger blocks will have to content themselves with the same two each. “We have endeavored to do every- | thing possible to provide tickets for | the reserved seat games to those who attend and support the minor games,” Mr. Woodcock states in & notice which has been mailed to ap- plicants for tickeets, “but on this occasion we find it necessary to ask the season book holders to stand some of the cut along with the stu- dents and alumni.” Never before have the tickets been oversold on the closing night of applications. Ticketes for the game were mailed | was FINAL OCTOBER NUTMEGS FAVORED |FIN. " MANY T0 TRIM GIANTS Locals Go to Hartlord With Goal Line Uncrossed Because of its showing in previous gamea, the New Britain Nutimegs are favorites to defeat the Hartford Giants football team in the first of the inter-city serles which is to be played at the Velodrome in Hart- tord Sunday. Two teams who are in the unde. feated class will be on the field when the New Britain and Hartford grid- ders meet. New Britain has been successful in four games and as yet no team has been able to put across a touchdown. Hartford has won its three starts and it also has an un- | crossed goal line. Without doubt the Nutmeg team is & better combination than any that has represented this city in years and a very good asset is in its favor in that it has no player who takes all tht star's limelight at the ex- pense of his fellow players. Give the team a good end to work with “Unk" Conley and & good substitute halfback and New Britain should not have to worry about the team in any of the games. Practically every position is equipped with substitute material as well as first class regular men. At center are two of the best in the state, Joe Rogers and “Red” O'Neil. O'Nell, the captain is also substitute tackle. Oscar Nanfeldt fills in very well at guard and Carl Brink will be the end reserve when Burns of Villa. nova joins the team, On the backfleld are the “four horsemen” Radrewich, Buckley, Ba- lonki and Davis. The substitute quarterback is “Turkey” Claire, for- mer New Britain high school cap- tain. The halfback substitute will be the new man and Bernie Conley and the fullback substitute is “Happy" Griswold. about if the Giants win Bunday. Probably the best bet on the Giant team is “Hobby" Hebson, its captain. Saturday. COMPAGNONE CAPTAIN Scoring Guard Elected to Lead Boys' Club Team—Stanley Zembrow- ski Captain of Reserves John Compagnone, better known as “Red,” was elected captain of the Doys' club senior basketball team last night. Red has been & member of club teams for several years. He captained the Reserves for two sea- sons and played on the first team regularly last winter. He Is a guard, but a scoring guard who makes his presence felt on the attack as well as the defense in almost every game. For several ballots last night there was a deadlock between him and Joe Gofra, but Compagnone was the final choice. Stanley Zembrowsk!, diminutive forward, was moved back from the first to the reserve team last night and was clected captain of the lat- ter. Size alone prevented this youngster from staying with the senfor team. The chances of the Reserves became much bighter last cvening with the return of Carl Mar- holin, star guard of last winter. DEMPSEY'S PRICE Former Champ Announces That He Would Not Re-Enter Ring Short of u $500,000 Purse, Los Angeles, Oct. 23 (UP)—Jack Dempsey's price for his next fight, if any, is half a million dollars, the jormer heavyweight champion said in a letter rcceived today by Saul Cohan, Los Angeles jeweler, “Tex Rickard has been talking to me about fighting next spring,” Dempsey wrote from New York. “I may take a fight if he will give me $300,000 but at that T am not crazy about getting back into the ring again. Rickard is apparently greatly worried about conditions. The fight game is very quiet around New York. ESPINOSA RESIGNS Quits as Pro at Dlinols Golf Club Because of Difference with Man- | agement of Organization. | Chicafio, Oct. 23.—UP—Al Es- pinosa, runner-up in the recent Na- tional Professional Golfers assocla- | tion championship has resigned as professional at the Illinois Golf club of Chicago because of friction be- tween himself and the club’s man- agement. The former Californian, who holds numerous sectional titles and who ranks among the nation’s best golf- | ers, refuscd to discuss the break other than to say “we both agreed to disagree.™ | His plans for the future are in- definite, he said, although he has re. ceived offers from two New York clubs. | TOWA WORKING HARD Towa City, Oct. 23 (UP)—On a soggy field the University of lowa football team today continued inten- sive drill in preparation for the | home-coming game Saturday with | Mastrogany, sophomore | end, was not in uniform, owing to iliness.

The Minnesota team faces a hard week of drill for the ! GOPHERS IN FAIR SHAPE | SHAKE-UP CERTAIN INLINEUP OF 1. Coach Cassidy Determined to Make Shilts Today Since the New Britain High school football squad did not hold & prac- tice session yesterday afternoon definite dope as to what changes will be made in the backfield could not be learned, and it will not be known until the team's practice to- night. Coach George M. Cassidy has in- timated that he will make changes, but the only definite change he has announced is to replace a halfback with Al Middleton, it the latter has completed his work by Baturday. Other men who are strong favorites for a place in the backfield are Billy Ross, a smart little quarterback, who has been a pivot around which the second team has worked all sea- son. Henry Kraszewski without doubt ought to be in the first team backfield. He has proven his wor'h all season, but Coach Cassidy had a winning combination and it was not at all reasonable on his part not to break it up. Now the time has come and it is probably that the coach may experiment with Kras- zewski. It is probably that Sowka, whose punting has been a big asset to the team and Captain Landino will hold down backfield positions after the shakeup. Perhaps S8owka may be nioved to halfback where he might be used to better advantage. He is rangy and is a good tackler. In that case Middleton, if he {s eligible, would be put in at fullback the posi- tion he held at Dean. Then the team would have a heavy line rammer with the 175 pound husky there. If he is not eligible there is Herby Con- eron, a heavy boy. Anoter change which is needed in the backficld is a man who can catch punts. The team has suffered big losses this year because of the fact that the safety man has let the ball bound about while the other team’s ends run down the field a-d fall on it. Much of the distance gained on Sowka's long punts was offset by this weakness. As far the the game is concerned, the Coust Guard Junor varsity foot- ball team should not be much of a test for the Red and Gold team when the teams play here Saturday, but it will be valuable as a workout for any new combination which Coach Cassidy may deem the best representation of the squad, SOUTH CHURCH PRACTICE The first practice sessions of the South church basketball teams will be held at the Boys' club gym on FEast Main street Thursday after- noon. at 6 o'clock, while at & o'clock there will be a practice for all candi- | dates for the junior team, which is open to all boys in the church who are 15 years of age or under. Strong—llurvard Team Faces Dartmouth Sat. Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 23 (UP— Unhampered by injur Harvard will be at full strength for Satur- day's game with Dartmouth. Joe Cunningham, substitute guard, reccived a shoulder injury in the Army game which may keep him on the bench, but all the regulars will be fit for service. Team A enjoyed almost complete rest yesterday but teams B and C. cngaged in scrimmage.

By BRIAN BELL (Amsociated Press Sports Writer,) New York, Oct, 23 (#)—October coming in like & football lamb will leave with the roar of a lion as Saturday, October 27, brings natural rivals together in many sections ot the country. Few October afternoons have prepared a more bountiful feast for hungry followers of the autumn sport. Especially in the East is the day rich in football color. Army and Yale, Princeton and Cornell, Dart- mouth-Harvard and Syracuse-Penn State are only a few of the games in which interest is centered. Moving West, ITowa and Minne- sota, Michigan and Wisconsin and Nebraska-Missouri are some of the high lights, while in the South the season is in full swing with Vander- bilt-Virginia, Georgia Tech-North Carolina and Georgla and Tulane meeting in games certain to have a bearing on the success or failure of seasons. Yale and Army have the matter of a 10 to 6 victory for the Elis over the Cadets, brought over by the Army as unfinished business from last year's program. A stunned Army team saw Bruce Caldwell toss a pass to Quarrier for a touchdown and later groaned as the great back kicked a field goal to make the Blue triumph complete. Yale in the same game stopped the crew of Biff Jones right on the goal line and there is some speculation as to whether this can be repeated. Yale has no Caldwell to throw passes this year and no Quarrier to catch them, but there is a Garvey who can run and a Decker who can place ob- stacles in the way of the other fel- low doing much running on an am- bitious scale. Princeton and Cornell, who re- sumed play last scason after a vaca- tion of 20 years, meet at Princeton with a thought of a busy afternoon at Ithaca a year ago when Princeton won 21 to 10. Cornell will enter the game with a rest of two weeks. Two great pessimists meet in the rival coaches Gil Dobie of Cornell and Bill Roper of Princeton. Harvard fell before Dartmouth 30 to 6 at their last meeting, but indications point to a closer strug- gle this year and Pittsburgh may not be able to defeat Carnegie Tech 23 to 7, as was the case last year. These two teams will be playing fer the championship of Pittshurgh among other things. . Pennsylvania has high hopes of reversing a 12 to 6 verdict in favor of the Navy last scason when games were resumed hetween the neigh- boring teams after a lapse. Minnesota defeated Iowa 38 to 0 last year and 35 to 0 the year he- fore, but even the most partisan of the Minneapolis team’'s supporters will not expect these scores to be repeated. Jowa has Mays McLain, the big Cherokec brave, to throw | against the Galloping Gophers from i{ullhm-k. w ile Minnesota can coun- ter with Bronko Nagurski, a con- verted tackle. In other years the | fullbacks have played a prominent | part in this game. successes. Gordon Locke did the major part of the heavy work for the Hawkeyes when Minnesota was taking as much as it gave in the annual clashes. An up and coming Ohio State |team meeting an aggressive Indiana outfit should make a sharp, smart struggle.

The universities won both argu- ments last year. Georgia Tech, with another pow- erful team, should win from North Carolina's less experienced outfit, but the Tarheels can never be held lightly, and Vanderbilt, hailed as one of the Southern Conference's best elevens, may have its handa full | with Virginia, a team evidently able {to rise above the handicap of injur- ies to key men. Georgia, evidently somewhat below its sensational form of 1927, seems likely to have some points shaved from its 31 to 0 de- feat of Tulane in their last encoun- ter, but should get the decision over the Greenfes. In the far West, Washington and Oregon's Aggies will play at Seattle with no score from last year to vex the situation. The clash between Montana and Montana State was de- cided in 1927 by a close count of 6 to 0 in favor of the team from Mis- soula. Few of the contesting teams, East, West or South, may regard themselves as “in” before the start and the gobling of Halloween will get them if they don’t watch out. Yale Hockey Team Is On Lookout for Coach New Haven, Oct. 23 (UP)—Yale athletic authorities were looking for a coach of varsity hockey today. Clarence Wanamaker, coach for 12 years, has resigned to enter business in Williamsport, Pa. Larry Noble, freshman heckey mentor, probably will be considered for the post. Battles that day will mark the midway point of the season.

A, were forced to bow to two Class “B" men in last night's contest. Roche. Rosenberg, the remnants of two first class teams that had been eliminated last week teamed up and ran roughshod over the Eddie Mag- Appell team to the tune of 16-21, 21-18, 21-14. Lou Vogel, not connected with any team this week, was selected by Eddie Mag as his future partner. The Contaras-Eben Strong team also went down to defeat at the hands of the Perakos-Hergstrom com- bination. Perakos’ deadly shots won the contest. B. Cohen demonstrated his ability to heave them in from the 15-foot mark in the senior basket- ball foul shooting contest from a fleld of eighteen contestants. Cohen garnered 17 goals out of a possible 25 tries. Summary: B. Cohen 17, R. Gat- ting 16, A. Ferony 16, Saunders 14, R. Lienhardt 13, C. Charlow 12, Benjamin 12, A. Scavallo 12, J. Balcunis 10, E.

When a Feller Needs a Friend BOS CLUB TEAN PIGHED BY COACH Korelejza, Schmarr, Golfa, Compagnone, Parparian Selocted Tony Kerelejza, Herman Schmarr, Joe Goffa, “Red” Compagnone, and Jake Parparian have been selected at least tentatively as regular mem- bers of the first team by Céach Ray Anderson of the Boys' club and formed the starting line-up last night as the first five skirmished against the Reserves. Anderson has his charges well advanced, and the cutlook is for a lighter but possibly even faster team than that of a year ago. Goffa, who has made certain of the center position, was a regular last year but played in several po- eitions before being finally located in the pivotal circle. This year he has had a wide margin over all other candidates and it is around Joe that the club team is being built. Kerelejza is a slight youngster who made the grade only late last winter, but he is fast, can pass with the best, and possesses & sure eye, particularly at critical moments. Paired- with him is a tall husky youngster who is virtually green material but has played in the var- jous club leagues for several years. Playing with the Pythons, he was one of the outstanding players in the city tournament last spring. Compagnone is a young veteran, for despite his youthfulness he al- ready has two years as captain of the Reserves and one year as & reg- ular guard on the first team behind him. Parparian has been an in- and-outer, having played with both the first and reserve teams for three years and moved around from one position to another. His one han-. dicap has been too much individual play, but he seems to be submerging this now and secms fairly certain of the second guard post. Walter Grusha and little Stanley Zembrowski will be available as sub- stitute forwards and Joe Boukus second center, while John Winters appears to have secured for himself the position of ninth man on the squad. . The Meriden State Trade school quintet has been booked as the first opponent of the club and will appear here on Monday night, November 19. TWO LOSE TITLES For Firht Time in Canadian Fighting History Two Champs Drop Crowns In S8ame Ring, Same Night. Montreal, Oct. 23 UP—For the first time in Canadian boxing history, two title have changed hands {n the same ring in one night. Al Fore- man of Montreal last night knocked out Leo (Kid) Roy of Montreal in the second round to win the Cana- dian lightweight championship in the feature bout and George Fifleld of Toronto lost hiw welterweight title by knocking out George Sid- ders of Montreal with the forbidden rabbit punch in the seventh round of the semi-final. Sidders was awarded the bout and the title on a foul. Foreman made short work of the lightweight champion, knocking him A.|down twice in the first round and three more times in the second be- fore Roy finally took the full count. Roy was almost helpless after the second kneckdown with Foreman forcing the pace from the start. ANOTHER KID WHO D\DE'T‘L' ASPIRE TOo THe Psmgw" Col. Ruppert Anxious to ve Remodelled Within Year So That 125,000 ‘Fans May Be Accommodated — Cov- ered Stand May Encircle Entire Field. New York, Oct. 23 (M—~The seat. ing capacity of the Yankee stadium is to be increased to 125,000 within a year it Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, has his way about. it. The stadium will comfort. ably accommodate 72,000 at present although more than ti piled in to see a “crucial” double header be- tween the Yankees and the Phila. delphia Athletics late in the recent campaign. Although no definite plans have been made, Ruppert hopes eventual. iy to have the fleld completely circled by a covered stand. The first step in the program is to re. place the present centerfield bleache ers with a concrete bleacher section, then an upper deck of wood will be built to discover if it will have any adverse effect on the lighting on the playing field itsclf. If players come plain that the shadows are inter. fering with their handling of hit balls the upper deck will be torn away. Otherwise it will be replaced later by & permanent concrete superstructure and similar changes will be made in the right field sec. tion. If these plans go through the park will accommodate 126,000 for foote ball or boxing and about 100,000 for baseball. Ruppert hopes to have the improvements completed by late next year or in the spring of 1930, FIGHTS LAST NIGHT Dayton, Ohio — Johnny Fare, Cleveland, outpointed Jimmy Hack- ley, Indianapolis, (12); Red Hollo« way, Indianapolis, outpointed Babe Dare, Dayton (6).
