BIG COLLEGE GREAT BACK, He and Strong of New York U. Are Scoring Aces of Eastern Elevens —Big Green Star Can Throw Passes and Ward | Off Tacklers With Equal | Ease. Alton Marsters, halfback on Jess Hawley's Big Green football team at Dartmouth and Ken 8trong, New York University luminary, have topped the field in points scored in the East's early season football games. Each player has figured prom- inently in victories for the two schools. Strong it was who prac- tically defeated Fordham single- handed, scoring two touchdowns and adding four points from placement after touchdowns, Marsters led the Dartmouth attack against Allegheny with three touchdowns, after run- ning wild against Norwich in the opening game of the season for the | “Big Green.” At the beginning of the season it was predicted that Marsters would be Hawley's ace in the hole. Mars- ters was expected to earn a niche alongside those occupied by such open field wizard as Grange, Gipp, Blagle, Fckersall, Kaw and Mahan. It his present speed is indicative of what to expect throughout the sea- son, he will undoubtedly live up to all expectations. Many conservative critics will tell you that Marsters sn't far short of Red Grange right now, “Tight Rope” Artist No man that ever played foothall has anything on Marsters when it comes to “tight roping” down a sideline without edging outside the boundary line. He has an abnor- mally long stride, almost a gallop, that carries him right over a tack- ler's dive. In order to stop him he must be tackled high, and hard. The Dartmouth attack is built around the big half-back. He can throw passes as reatly as he can throw oft a tackler. ~ With the speedy Hamm leading the way, Marsters is in no fear of running over his interference. Not since Walter Runge ran interference for Colgate has been secn such neat co- ordination between carrier and take- | out man, Playing as a sophomore last sc; pon, Marsters swept around the Ha vard ends repeatedly and scored against Yale. He more ground last year than any in the history of football, includ- ing Red Grange and Morley Drury. There was no record kept of Jim Thorpa's yardage, but it is doubtful if he got off so many long runs as the Hanover back. starred Azainst Niagara New York university opened t geason with a 21 to 0 victory over Niagara. Strong carried the ball for most of the gains which culmin- ated in his scoring all three tm.u-hA downs for the Violets. He gained almost half of the 218 yards (’rwlnrv:l to the New York team. Str did the New York Kicking and 1 in addition to his ball carryin Against Fordham, the work of Strong was mnothing short of bril- #lant. He scored two touchdowns, one on a 55 yard and passed to Fol- let for a third. In the early season pra slons, Strong was the only back that measured up to expectations on “Chick” Meehan's cleven. At that Strong was not lauded as being the greatest back in the metropolitan wital spark in the Violet attack with his running, kicking and passing. all above the ordinary.

Only two eastern representatives will be pitted against opponents from other sectors—Georgetown taking on Duke at Washington while Holy Cross entertalns Mar- quette at Worcester, Mass. George- town, which has rolled up more than 200 points against its first four opponents is an overwhelming -fave orite to defeat Duke but Holy Cross, rudely jolted by Fordham last week, s given scarcely an even chancg against Marquette, The rest of the day is given over to inter-sectional combat, involving in some instances, rivals of long standing. Yale and Army, both unbeaten and untied, clash at New Haven, in thelr 28th meeting. This serfes, which has developed into one of the east’s leading football spectacles be- &an in 1893. Dartmouth, another undefeated eleven, tackles a Harvard team, beaten only by Army, for the 35th time at Cambridge. The gridiron rivalry between Crimson and Indian began away back in 1852. Harvard had all the best of it for more than & score of years but Dartmouth, in recent seasons, has been cutting down the Crimson's advantage slow. ly but surely. Their performances te date Indicate another Dartmouth victory although perhaps not by the decisive margin of 30-6 by which the Indians triumphed in 1927. Princeton and Cornell, yearly ri- vals from 1891 to 1907, will battle at Princeton for the 18th time. This rivalry was interrupted after 1907 until last season when relations were resumed, Princeton earning a 21-10 victory. This year both have undefeated records to maintain al- though the Tigers have been tied by Virginia. Talking about ancient rivalries, New England can point with pride to the “Little Three" battle between Amherst and Wesleyan, and Bow- doin’s fray with Colby. Both these series started in the early 90's. Byracuse, beaten in heart-break- ing fashion by Nebraska last week, meets Penn State, no new rival for the orange. The Nittany Lions, suc- cessively beaten by Bucknell and Pennsylvania, hopes to turn the tide at Syracuses expense but the experts | can't sce it that way. Pitt and Carnagle Tech have en- gaged in many a thrilling fray for the city championship and it will be strange if either wins by more than a touchdown this Baturday. Then there’s Penn and Navy who clash at Phlladelphia in their thir- teenth game since 1888, Oddly enough, it will be one of the few times when Navy will take the field against the Red and Blue conceded virtually no chance of winning. Out in Central Pennsylvania, Get- tysburgh tacles a traditional rival, Bucknell, which in recent ycars has jumped into the major college class 80 far as football ratings go. Bucknell on its first three games, defeating Penn State among others, and then battled Lafayette to & scoreless tie last Saturday, Lafayette can expect no T against West Virginia which at the moment, seems‘to have . about as strong an aggregation as any in the [cast. Since the first home defeat by Davis and Elkins the mountaineers have come to the front in amazing fashion, defeating West Virginia, the Haskell Indians, Pittsburgh and Washington and Lee in succession. New York University meets tartar in Colgate which held the Vi- olet to a scorcless tie last season, the up-staters will bring a formid- able team to New York but none of the invaders will be watched more closely than Bruce Dumont, the burly guard, whose punting saved the day against N. Y. U. in 1927, Columbia, in its present crippled condition, fears Willlams, another undefeated eleven, but hopes for @' decisive triumph over Washington and Jefferson. CALLAHAN AND TRACEY FIGHT T0 G0OD DRAW No Title Involved as Both Fighters Enter Ring Above the Welter- weight Limit Chicago, Oct. 24 P—Mushy Cal- lahan of Los Angelcs, junior welter- ampion, and Bobby Tracey o fought ten rounds to a draw last night. The bout was not for Callahan’s title, hoth fighters having entered the ring above the junior welterweight limit. The Buffalo boxer floored the champion in the third round with a right cross but Callah#n was up be- fore the referce started the count.

" In two games played so far the Junior varsity outfit suffered a 12 to 0 defeat and played Chapman Technical school to a scoreless draw. The 12 points were not scored on straight football. The first touch- down was a 40 yard forward pass which ended in a touchdown and the second six points were the re- sult of a recovered fumble which the Norwich Free Academy tackle converted into a touchdown affer a 35 yard run. This will be the lagt game of the season. Since the team does not appear to posness an offense it is not expected that it will do much damage to the New Britain line. However, it | must have o good defense if it held two tcams to a total of two touch- from a great distance. If this is the case the New Britain offense will again have a chance to show whether or not it has improved since last week. ) To strengthen the backfield Coach Camsidy announced that Mike Grip is to be dropped from his regular halfback position to be replaced by Middleton if the latter is eligible or Henry Kraszewski. Grip's place | as safety man and punt catcher will be held down by Landino. Middle- ton will be put in as defensive full- back and Sowka will be made de- fensive halfback. On the offense the team will con- sist of Landino, quarterback; Mid- dleton, right halfback: Kraszewski or Zalezki, left halfback, and Sowka, fullback. Coach Cassldy has not definitely declded upon what he will do with the backfield. He will not make any changes in the line, He also predicts that if he finds Mid- dleton is capable as a field general { he will run the team from halfback, replacing the quarterback as the caller of plays. Al this will depend upon whether or not Middleton will have his studies completed by the end of this week. Another improvement the coach will work will be better off:nsive work in the line. | | |Former Stars Form Team And Practice Princeton Princeton, N.

He has been with three different clubs in three eeasons and fandom now is buzzing with talk about purported plans for the Rajah's trade to a fourth club— the Chicago Cubs. Newspapers in both New York and Chicago have stated that the trade will be consummated and at least one Boston paper quoted ‘‘re- liable authority” that the Braves were ready for “any deal for Horns by that will strengthen the club.” ‘The talk among baseball men has it that the Cubs have offered Pitcher Charley Root, 8ccond Baseman Ired Maguire and Outflelder Earl Webb and cash for the Boston manager. Uoston, the reports state, has insist- jcd on Outiielder Cliff Heathcote, an jold Chicago favorite, instcad of Webb, ~ Men close to the game predict that |least $200,000 in cash and players {for the National Leaguc's greatest hitter, The deal undoubtedly will be one of the biggest in which Hornsby has |figured but it cannot possibly ap- proach in interest the transaction by which the champion scnior loop batsman was traded first by St. Louis to Ncw York and then by New York ito Boston. It was the suddenness of those moves that shocked baseball fan- Gom. Tho Rajah had just piloted his Cardinals to their first world's championship when the Red Birds' management announced his trans- fer, to the New York Giants for Fordham Frankie Frisch and Jimmy Ring. That was on December 20, 1926, Hornsby had a big year with the Giants. 8o, Giants fans, too, were surprised when on January 10, 1928, lit was announced that he would go {to the Draves in exchange for Catcher Frank Hogan and Outflelder Jimmie Welsh. The old 8t. Louis star performed in championship form with the Braves, capturing his sixth Nation- |al league batting title and playing |his usual brilliant game afeld. He succeeded Jack Slattery as Boston manager in June and immediately lscught to build up the team |through a series of deals with major and minor league clubs, but \his club finished last, ! With the end of the season, the ‘mnnagemunt began looking about for opportunities to trade its $40,- 000-a-yearstar for playing material and cash with which to cut down a heavy deficit for the year. In obtaining Hornsby from the Giants, the Braves assumed a two- | year contract calling fér an annual salary of $40,000, Then when he |was elevated to the managership he was tendered & new six-year contract at the same salary. This proved an unbearzble burden for a club attracting the meager “gates’ the Braves did on their home field. If the Braves do get Root and Maguire they will receive a pair lof pretty good ball payers. M guire, a Toledo, American Associa. tion product, batied .277 and fielded well for the Cubs. Root, who is 29 years old, did not do so much in 1928 but he won 26 games to lead the National league pitchers in 1927, He won 14 and lost 18 in 1928, As for the Cubs, they appear ready to do almost anything within reason to get Hornsby into a Chi- cago uniform. The/ Bruins have lost out on a couple of Natlonal league pennants in the last two |years partly because of a weak in- fleld. Owner William Wrigley and Manager Joe McCarthy believe Hornshy s the man they need make the Cubs a pennant-winner.

The Hartford management realizes i that the New Britain team will be powerful and that if the Capital City grid team is to win it will have to be at its greatest strength. Last”week the Giants defeated the Newark Professionals by a € to 0 score. This was the first de- feat ruffered by the New Jersey team in three years, but & break in the first quarter when a kick wi blocked gave the Capital City team the »ix points and victory. The Hartford line consists of the | best material the city of Hartford jcan supply and it featured in the team's victory when it held in stone- wall fashion and the Newark team was obliged to resort to an aerfal game, Playing right end is a man who is { well known to the sporting gentry in New Britain. Tom Leary played a wonderful game with the = All- New DBritain team of last yegr and his excellent forward pass receiving was one of the features of the team's attack. He giso played a stellar game at guard on Lampher’s All-New Britain basketball team, which won the state championship and was its captain. In the backfield is another mem- ber of last ye All-New Britain football and basketball teams, | “Butsy” Strum, who throws a mean forward pass. Between “Butsy” and | Leary the New Britain backfield will have to be on its tees to defend | the passes. Twe other members ,of | the team are “Shrimp” Foley and | “Hobby" Hobsen, both exceptional- ly fast men. A matter which may serve to shorten the odds on New Britain is the fact that se many of the play- ors were igjured In last Sunday's came. Prebably Ralph Buckley is the most seriously hurt of ail the players. There is a chance that he may not be at his best in the game, but the other cripples are recovering, 80 the team is expected to be fairly well fixed physically. “Happy” Griswold, the hard-hitting substitute fullback, is improving daily and it i8 expected that his ankle will be as strong as ever by game time.

Many Believe That Or- mkaflon\h on Last Legs—Connecticut Con- siders Withdrawing — Canads Links Up With New York Commission. New York, Oct. 3¢ UM—The storm brewing for months within the ranks of the National Boxing asse- ciation finally has blown up into & hurricane that threatens to break up the organization Close followers of the fistic indus- try believe that the day of the as. soclation—that began here in 1931 and grew until it controlled the leathered flats in 36 states and had its say in ring affairs througheut the world—now are numbered. The Canadian Boxing Federation has withdrawn from the bedy, Con- necticut and New Jersey are con. templating the same action, and only the presence of nation-wide elections appears to act as a damper o5 seve eral other state boxing commiasions. The first step in the dissolytion was taken yesterdsy when Thomas Murphy, member of the Canadian parliament and head of the Cana. dlan Boxing Federation, entered inte & working agresment with the New York State Athletic commission and informed the N. B. A. of the Domin. gm'l withdrawal from the assacia- on. ‘Tom Donohue, who comprises the entire Connecticut commission and Allan Timble, head of the New Jer- sey commission, spt in on the negoe tiations as part of & “soclal” viait, Men close to the situation declare frankly that a new natienal ergan. isation to be known as the Interna. tioal Boxing Federation {s in the making. The plan calls for the New York state athletic commimsion, with its nation-wide prestige, to head the new federation, either directly or through the medium of & working agreement. Btates ready to bolt are listed as Wisconsin, New Jersey, Connecticut, Louisiana, possibly Michigan, Rhode Island, and Maryland and the Char- lotte and Greensboro city' commis- sions of North Carolina. Texas and Alabama are considered poasibilities. The November elections may bring about & state boxing law in Floride and repeal the present California statute, thereby eliminating beth t:mu states from present considera~ tion. The discord now prevalling in the assoclation came to a head during the recent annual coventien in Ter- onto. Usually presidents of the or- ganization are elected to succeed themselves for & second term of ene year and when opposition develeped to President Donchue under these circumstances, he withdrew ‘from nomination. In his place Thomas Murphy was named to oppese Paul Prehn, chairman of the Illinols state athletic commission. Murphy, then the sseond vises president, was barred from the lists when & hy-law was discovered pre« venting any but delegates from the York amsoclation, which join the N. B. A. on its because of a disagresment association by-laws. Now as though the remaining of the amaciation will eh tween the old order and the mew. The November elections may fure ther complicate the situstien anf lead to a swifter oconclusion. A pos« sible realignment of the Illineis state athletic commission in January may find Prehn, president of the assee ciation, removed from his own come mission, students of Iilinots politics aver. At the same time, the New York election may change the situs. tion here to such an extent that the new alignment will be made pos- sible, The assertion has been made that a meeting of the N. B. A. called to fill a possible presidential vacaney would result only in the attendance of Nebraska, Ohio, Kansas and Illinois.
