Speaking i of Sports The case of Frank Oldt, regular Yale end and drep-kicker, {llustrates how quickly it is possible to rise to fame. Last fall Oldt was so un- important that he was not even as- signed & number, and yhen, in the Bowdoin game, he scored one of Yale's many touchdowns, the stands did net know who he was and could not give him the “long cheer” which ‘was aoccorded every other producer ot & score, This year Oldt's ability to drop- kick has been discovered, and an injury recelved by him two weeks ago has become a university calam. ity, as it s keeping him on the side- lines when there is no other ‘ticker available. KFrom anonymous ob- scurity Mr, Oldt has leaped to eight- column headlines on the sporting pages, and today his right foot is more important than all of him was twelve months ago. It Burns is not supe of New Brit- al:. plays it is probable that Conley and Brink will be at the ends when “the team takes the field. Manager Zehrer i3 fortunate in having three ends of exceptional ability. When Willlam J. Breslin, better | known as Jack Britton, former welterweight champion of the world defeated Mayer Cohen, he was the 15th fighter he has beaten this year. He only lost one fight since he re- turned to the ring. Bince Britton is booked solidly up until the time he comes to this city | about the middle of November he should have a greater record. “Pinkey” Kaufman, former amateur welteweight champion of Connecti- cut, will be Britton's opponent here. When consideration is given the fact that Britton is 43 years of age and has taken part in more than 400 fights' one cannot help but admire the old man of the boxing ring. It is a tough break for the Nut- meg team that it lost its coach and star end, Gratton O'Connell, former Boston College star. “Grat” has en- tered the newspaper business in his home city, Bristol, and a man cer- tainly has little time for anything else when he becomes a reporter, Bilhards - - - A Constructive Tickets for the Yale-Dartmouth University game are not exhausted, according to information made pub- lic by H. F. Woodcock of the Yale Athletic association.. If the supply of tickets survive the demand up until game time the tickets will be placed on public sale, There is no certainty that this situation will prevail since there are 20 many people anxious o see the famous Al Marsters of Dartmouth and Johuny Garvey of Yale in a dual. Both are in the foreground as All-America candidates. According to information received from Springfield, Malcolm, last year's captain of the Bristol En- dees, will again wear the uniform of that team this year. Feldman, his old running mate who has played basketball at the other forward position since their high school days, has decided not to play with the Bristol team and instead will play independently about Massachusetts and Connecti- cut, % Hartford Public High school has a big advantage over the New Brit- ain High school team in sports principal because of two reasons. ‘The Hartford course is of four years but that under which the New Brit- ain achool is conducted is of three years because of the senior and Jjunior high school arrangement. Hartford's other advantage is its inter-class football which is ene of the best nieans of developing foot- ball talent. New Britain High, how- ever, has never gone in strong for the inter-class football. Fans from this city who saw the Hartford Public High school-Bulke- ley High school game in Hartford last Saturday speak very highly of the Capital City team and at pres- ent it appears to be several touch- downs better than the high team from this city. It defeated Bulkeley 25 to 0, It plays smart football and 8 speedy backfield is aided by a strong line, Its forward passing is done quickly and accurately apd all its touchdowns were scored directly or indirectly by this method. Coach George M. Cassidy is con- fident he will have a team before the end of the season which will de- feat the.Blue and White team of Hartford. He said he will keep shifting until he gets the right com- bination for the backfield. 1t is probable that “Spike” Burns, former Villanova end, will be at the practice session of the Nutmeg team tonight. He is a fellow student of Captain “Red” O'Nell at the Yale School of Medicine and O'Neil was instrumental in bringing him here. 'KIMBALL TO TELL HOW FACTORIES ARE AFFEG_TED Former Cabinet Officer Also Speaks Tonight at Rally in Junior High School, The question of New Britain in- dustries and the effect upon them of political situations will be discussed at a republican rally at the Central | Junior High school this evening by George T.

Grange said he did not know he had been scheduled to speak and the announcement of his withdrawal had nothing to do with his arrest so far he knew.

NEWTON BREAKS RECORD Willlam Newton broke the alley INURMI PLANNING FOR 1932 GAMES Expects fo Be Full Fledged Marathooer by Olympic Time New York, Oct. 25 (UP)—Paavo Nurmi will be a full-fieged mara- thon runner by 1929, but contrary to the expectation of American pro- moters will not turn professional. Instead, the marvelous little Finn will devote threg years to preparing to win the marathon run at the Olympic games in Los Angeles in 1932, If Nurmi has an outstanding qual- ity in his athletic greatness it is thoroughness. No runner ever went about his work with the precision of Paavo. Now he has set his heart upon making the 1932 Olympic marathon race the climactic triumph of his career, and those who know him believe he will be successful, Nurmi thus follows the lead sct by Joie Ray, who once was the world’s best miler, until Paavo pat- tered up, and who now is one of the better marathon runners. But where the chesty little Chi- cagoan jumped practically overnight to the full marathon route, Nurmi is directing his own transition with characteristic thoroughness. The Finn is gradually and steadily in- creasing the disthnces he runs, and incidentally setting new world's rec- ords as he goes along. Already, since the Olympic games at Amsterdam, Nurmi has broken the long standing records for 15 kilometres and 10 miles, as well as for one hour. Paavo collects rec- ords as conscientiously as an ac- countant. They are his solace in asceticism, The fdea in the mind of Mr. Will Pickens that the little Finn is devot- ing his days to the study and prac- tice of longer distance running for the sake of the few thousand dol- lars he would receive in the rather shoddy business of professional marathon running is as fantastic as some of the cheerful promoter's other schemes, and Mr. Pickens_ it must be admitted, certainly can fan the fantast Nurmi has a goal upon which his heart js fixed, and the fact that it is nearly four years away does not trouble him a bit. It takes patience to be a distance runner, in the first place, patience or a great conceit, When a runner has only one of these qualities, like Joie Ray. he is good, When he has both, like Nurmi, he is great. 1t would not he murprising 1t the Finn, when he finally tackles the full marathon route of 26 miles, 385 vards, shattering all existing records. professional and amateur, including the Scandinavian. By 1932, the man who beats Nurmi probably will have to do close to 2:20:00, and here is the rea- son: Paavo has worked out for himself the science of distance running and has chosen as the length of his stride 1.75 metres. From this, he never varies, except to sprint, and he practically never sprints. Mile after mile, Nurmi covers the same dis- tance with each stride, proceeding at the rate of 5.33 metres per second. He kept this up for a full hour last month, breaking the famous record hung up by the great French run- ner, Jean Bouin, 15 years ago. “Bouin’s hour" has been a classie f self with & stop watch and never varying the speed of each lap, cov- ered 200 yards more distance. His time for his slowest lap of ¢00 metres was within three seconds of his time for the fastest circuit of the cinder track. Against such machine-like precision, the mara- thon runners, accustomed to run- ning every which way, will have to watch thelr steps. SOGCER TEAM 70 PLAY New Rritain Kickers Will Take on | Scandia A.
