NEW BRITAIN HIGH TEAM TO MEET ADAMS HIGH IN THIS CITY SATURDAY AFIERNOON—BLUI:'SAM)\MERDENMOHICANS TO CLASH AT WILLOW BROOK PARK ON SUNDAY—ROGERS BOWLING TEAM TAKES TWO OUT OF THREE FROM SILVER CITY ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL TEAM TO PLAY HERE SATURDAY B%Iggs%%%p Argument Over Money Guarantee Settled at Conference —Visiting Aggregation Has Not Been Defeated In Five Games—Locals Preparing For One of Hard- est Games of Season — Tough Schedule Faces Hardware City Eleven—Team Approaching Form. Producing the contracts which were signed by the athletic authori- ‘ties of both schools, Coach George M. Cassidy in a conference with the iprincipal of Adams High echool, pointed out the fact that the Mass- achusetts High officials had agreed to come to New Britain at a stated iguarantee and that they must ad- here to the original agreement. The principal agreed and the Adams High school football team, unde- !feated in five games, is coming to :this city Saturday to play the New Britain High school team. shertly after the New Britain ; High-Pittsfield, Mass., High school igame was played the Adams team (coach wrote New Britain and 'wtouched” the management for an- other $100. For weeks the matter lay dor- mant. However neither Coach Cas- sidy or Faculty Manager Palmer Howard would sanction “jacking up” the guarantee and the school ready to let the Massachusetts team out. Coach Cassidy called on ,the principal and found that it was Ithe coach who was not anxious to Iplay after he had seen the Red and Gold team in the Pittsfield game. Word came to this city today that teverything was satisfactory and the *ieam would definitely be here Sat- urday. Adams won four games and tied one in five games. Incidentally six points were scored by Ppittsfield High school in the tied game and they were the only points scored on the *Adams team this year. Here is the yecord of the team: Adams 6, \Springfield Technical 0; Adams, 24, Williamstown, ©0; Adams, 33, Hol- yoke, 0; Adams, 6, Massachusetts, 0; Adams, 6, Pittsfield, 6. The Adams team has scored 75 points to its op- ponents 6. New Britain High's rec- .ord is four victories and one defeat .and it has scored 64 points to its op- ponents’ 26. All the opponents scores were in the single defeat by the Stamford High school team. The New Britain team is just half- iway through its season. So far it 'has not shown anything like mid- .season form, especiaily on the ql- fense. 1t will have to improve on its tackling and end running before it is given an even chance with the} Ver- strong New Haven Hillhouse, non Academy and Harttord Public High school teams. Hartford Public High school play- ers, who were at the New Unlalvn- Const Guard game, said “They're easy. It will be a cinch for us on November 24."

Prospects are bright for a strong ' hockey team in New Haven this sea- son to work under the name of the Fagles for the Elm city is lined up with the Americans and will get their men from the Gotham organi- 2ation. Already a tentative squad has becn picked by Manager Ken Randall and they have been put to work under the watchful eye of Trainer Pecp Baunders.

They are Joey Schaaf. varsity basketball captain, and Svd Gervin. The coaches were disappointed fin the work of Ball and Olexy against the Navy, FANS INTERESTED IN GRID BATTLES Notre Dame's Invasion of the East Among Feature Games New York, Oct. 31 —The in- tersectional flavor is much more marked in this Saturday’'s eastern college football achedule than it was !a week ago but prospects are that Atlantic seaboard fans will be less interested in these games than in a series of outstanding duels be- tween home-breds. The Princeton-Ohio Btate battle at Columbus and Notre Dame's in- State at Philadelphia, alone of the intersectional games, appear worthy to hold the same spotlight that will shine on such games as Georgetown- New York University; Dartmouth. Yale; Syracuse-Pittsburgh; Cornell- Columbia; Holy Cross-Brown, and Army and Colgate will be ‘“at home” to Depauw and Wabash, in- tersectional foes, who on their rec- ords at least, appear to rank some notches below their prospective castern rivals. Pennsylvania, de- spite a 6-0 defeat by Navy, should carry too many guns into the west for Chicago, now in the midst of an extremely unsuccessful season. But eastern eyes will watch with great interest the progress of | Princeton’s battle against Ohio State one of the Big Ten's greatest teams. Notre Dame still holds the public eye despite defeats by Wisconsin and Georgia Tech. Rockne's team is constantly improving and the same holds true of Penn State which battled Syracuse to a tie last week. New York offers the only struggle of the team between undefeated and untied teams—Georgetown and N. Y. U. at the Yankee Stadium. Georgetown has scored 240 points against Mt. 8t. Mary's, Susquehan. na, Lebanon Valley, West Virginia Wetleyan and Duke. N. Y. U. has scored approximate- ly 70 fewer points against stronger opposition that included Niagara, West Virginia Wesleyan, Fordham, Rutgers and Colgate. Comparative scores, based on the West Virginia Wesleyan games, reveal how evenly matched the teams really are. N. Y. U. defeated the West Virginians 26-7, and two weeks later George- town turned the trick 34 to 7. Yale, in advance calculations, fig- ures to win against a Dartmouth team crippled by injuries to Mar- sters, Breithut and Wolff, backs, and Booma and Swarthout, ends. The contest between Cornell and Columbja has the experts perplex- ed trying to pick a winner. Cornell put up & gallant fight against Princeton but lost by a fleld goal. Columbia was beaten by Dartmouth but has shown strength againast other opponents. Syracuse undoubtedly will be a slight favorite over Pitt at Pitts- burgh but the Panthers have a for- midable team that West Virginia could beat by no mere than three points and Carnegie Tech by #ix. Syracuse’s lone defeat was a one- point heartbreaker by the powerful Nebraska squad. Lafayette figures to whip a Green and crippled Washington and Jef- ferson team, but this particular ri= valry has always been marked by close, hard-fought battles and the 1928 combat may be no exception. There's another evenly matched struggle in prospect at Providence when Brown entertains Holy Cross. Navy, Harvard and Boston Col- lege, among the other leading teams, have scheduled opponents of lesser rank in West Virginia, Lehigh and Manhattan, MYLES LANE ASSIGNED A PLACE WITH RANGERS | Former Dartmonth Hockey and Football Star to Play With New York Ice Team. | Springfield, Mass.. Oct. 51 (UP)— Myles Lane. former Dartmouth hockey and football star. has been assigned a place as a member of the | New York Itangers hockey team, jt was announced hers today. Lester Patrick, Ranger chieftain. made public his team line-up. To make room for Lane, Patrick sent | Patay Callighen back to the Epring- field Indians. Callighen was in the Ranger lineup during the closing weeks of last season. The 12 players who will represent the Stanley cup winners when they open the 1928-29 season against the Cougars in Detroit Nov. 15 are: Frank Boucher, Bill and Bun Cook, Ching Johnson, Taffy Abel, and John Roach for the regular lincup. with Murray Murdoch, Leo Bour- gault, Butch Keeling, Billy Boyd.

FARRELL NEA Service Writer Profits fram the boxing depart- ment of Tex Rickard's Garden this year may run more than a half mil- lien dollars behind the earnings of 1527. This represents & serious de- cline in any man's business and it must indicate that a period has ar- rived when the fight racket is on the bust, Rickard thinks it is only a tem- porary period of bad market. He abandoned the eutdoor fleld after Tunney and Heeney had tossed him for a big loss and made plans for the winter season that would force the athletes to look for work at the Garden. The indoor season arrived but the employment office at the Garden was so short ef clients that Rickard took himself off to Florida with the optimistic statement that—'"Some young feller will be coming out 'fore long like Dempsey did and he'll make business over again.” ‘The slow progress of Rickard' sistants in getting another one of those heavyweight elimination things started might have convinced a less optimistic soul that it will be a long time 'fore some young savior comes out to save the business. The heavyweight situation will have to.be straightened out before the boxing business gets back on fits feet and it probably will be two vears before a champion will be recognized who can catch the fancy of the public. Before the recent annual meeting of the National Boxing association it was announced that the assocla- tion would do something about tomeone’s oversight in failing to place a representative of the associa- tion on the committee that was ap- pointed by Mr. Tunney to recognize his successor. It was drawn to the attention of Mr. Muldoon that the association was wanting to do something to someone about the insult and the iron man remarked that any such actions would be premature, “It may be two or three years Ibefore that committee has to sit and none of us know who will be sitting {when the time comes to act,” he said. It it takes two or three years to find out who is the best qualified successor to the heavyweight cham- pionship, precedent would justify the prediction that boxing in general will stay in a slump that long. ‘And if the man elected to succeed Tun- ney isn't taken scriously by the cus- |tomers boxing as a business will re- main in a decline until that young feller Rickard is looking for appears and does another Dempsey. Interest in the lighter classes can- rot be stimulated enough to over- come the stagnant condition of the heavyweight clase because the cham- plons of the' highter classes will not do their part. If there happened to be a McGovern, Ketchel and & Gans around, the businese could be made to prosper, but under the existing circumstances the lighter classes are in as bad shape as the heavyweight class. Unless Rickard's corporation gets unruly he can afford to sit around and wait for the arrival of his young feller, but the other fellows who haven't a million in their kick have to keep going or get out and many of them are gelting ready to get out. The situation is worse jin cities outside of New York. The little metropolitan promoters can get their local boxers to work for them, but even the New York hams won't leave home to work in another city with- out guarantees that a promoter can’t afford to give. This time last year Rickard had his winter program filled with matches that included & champion- ship in every class but the heavy- weight. This year he has a heavy- weight match between Paulino and Ottp von Porat; a middleweight match betwecen Rene De Vos and Ace Hudkins and a welterweight match between Jos Dundee and Jack Thompson. This would seen to tell the story tersely and graphically. If Demp- sey won't work any more the bus- iness depends upon that young fel- ler who will come out from nowhere and do a Dempsey. SEEKS NECESSARY PUNCH Champaign, 1ll, Oct. 31 (UP)— Coach Zuppke hopes between now and the time the whistle blows for the Michigan game to find the necessary punch that will spell vic- tory for the ilini. He put the treshmen through Michigan play vesterday in preparation for scrim- mage with the varsity the rest of the week.

Lowry and Requardt are TRADE SEASON AS TEAMS Giants Give “Lefty” 0'Doul New York, Oct. 81 (®—In trading Lefty O'Doul to the Phillies for Fred Leach, the Giants started a trading season that probably will prove very brisk before the major league clubs assemble five months hence in the south and west for training. The real trading comes by custom when snow has covered the dia- monds and outfields in the big time stadia. But the Giants and the Phil- les started the ball rolling with a deal when the frost is just on the pumpkins. That many other déals will follow seems a safe guess. Several teams are known to be dissatisfied with past performances of some of their highest priced players and the man- agers are prescribing a change of scenery, Although the New York Yankees have won two world series in eight games, Manager Miller Huggins is tween golf shots at St. Petersburg, Fla, in looking over railway time tor some of his athletes to cities other than New York. The Yankees have several players sitting on the bench most of the time who could take their places in the regular lineups of other clubs on the American league. An example is Big Ben Paschal, the well known garageman of Charlotte, N. € Paschal can hit. run and throw, (hree essential assets for an out- fielder, but he can not crowd out Babe Ruth, Earle Combs or Bob Meusel. If the mite manager of the world champions can find some club need- ing an outflelder and blessed with a fair pitcher as excess baggage, a deal might he made. The Yankee infield may see some changes before an- cther season starts. Joe Dugan's place at third base as a regular is not believed to be any too secure, although he can remain a kee subject to emergency call. Only time will tell how good Tony Lazzeri's arm will be after a winter's rest and treatment. Dan Howley will trade if the wind is in the right direction but his success in his last year's transactions his brother managers are apt to give him a wide berth Walter Johnson will have a chance to match wits with his new brother master-minds for the benefit of Washington and Stanley Harris cer- tainly would like to do some juggling with the Tigers, over whom he had assumed command. The trade winds are believed to be blowing over that part of St Leuis set aside for the Cardinals, hut President Sam Breadon must first say who is to cenduct the ne- gotiations.

JACKIE FIELDS T0 GET SHOT AT WELTER TITLE Two Round Knockout of Sergeant Sammy Baker Puts Scrapper in Front Ranks. Los Angeles, Oct 31 (A—Jackie Fields, a local product, by a two- round knockout of Sergeant Sammy Baker, New York's rock-fisted fa- vorite, stood first in line at the door .0! King Joe Dundee’'s welterweight { domain. Fields battered the hard punching Baker into insensibility in four min- utes and 20 seconds last night. His Ivictory over Baker, who New York ‘boxing authorities ranked as the jwelterweight's division chief chal- i1enger, was regarded here as conclu- sive proof that he is the best of the | welterweights seeking Dundee's crown. READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS FOR BEST RESULTS RAY SETS RECORD IN INDOOR RACE “Chesty Joie” Shows Heels to El Quali, French-Algerian Star Philadelphia, Oct. 31 (® — Jole Ray, veteran American runner, was |and with another record away among his souvenirs. El Quafii, the slender French-Al- gerian marathon winner at Amster- dam, fell victim to Ray's flying feet in a 16-mile indoor race last night which the American clicked off in one hour, 27 minutes and 18 1-5 sec- onds. Ray's time for 15 miles was one hour, 22 minutes and five sec- onds, which was announced as a new indoor record. El Quafi was four and one-half laps behind Ray at the finish, approximately one third of \a mile. “Chesty” Joie, at Amsterdam and also in New York two weeks ago on an indoor track, was out to run his two-time conquerer El Quafil into the ground. As carly as the second mile. which he covered in 5:02, Ray lapped the Algerian. Three other times he re- peated and then, to. show that he had plenty in reserve, he stepped the 15th mile in 5:05, the second fastest of the race. Ray said that his desire to meet El Quafii at the shorter distance hav- ing heen gratified, he now wanted to take on the Olympic champion again over the longer distance. Ken Mullen, who recently turned professional, finished third in the race, and Willie Kohlemainen was fourth. tucked Movie of Baseball Fan During OFf Season back at the head of the class today | BLUES TO MEET MERIDEN MOHICANS HERE SUNDAY Meriden Combination Holds Two Victories to One Loss Over Locals—Visitors Bringing Strong Lineup to This City—Contest to Be Staged at Memorial Field In Willow Brook Park—Squad to Be Out for Prac- tice Thursday Night—Tough Battle Expected. WELTERS MEET IN BOUT THURSDAY Micky Sears and Sileat Frank Moran Glash in Hartlord Hartford, Oct. 31.—Forty rounds of boxing, contested in six bouts be- tween club fighters forms an attrac- tive card for the fight fans' weekly diet at Foot Guard avmory on this Thuraday night. Mickey Sears of Boston, who has won over Laddie Lee, Eddie Adonis, Johnny Curcie, Larry rignolia and a host of others will battle Silent Frank Moran of New Haven, for- mesly of Newark who ‘# rated rs one of the best club boxers in this sec- tion. Moran fought a sensational bout at West Springfield some three weeks ago against the tough Jack Kiernan of New York and made a host of friends from his aggressive type of milling; both Moran and Sears are of the slugging nature and each are rated as hard hitters and aggressive in their work. In another feature Brownie Tucker who is liked and disliked by fans will meet the hard -punching and experienced Jimmy Garcia of Worcester who kayoed Tucker at Holyoke some three weeks ago. Garcia is by far the most experi- enced and hardest puncher Tucker has been called upon to meet as he has kavoed Gene Peechini of New Londor; beat Nick Bartel of New York and fought Benny Kid Carter a. great bout at Braves fleld, Boston, this past summer. Tucker hopes to even up matters and Garcia intends to duplicate his feat with a kayo over Tucker and then challenge Bat- talino to a bout. This bout is for cight rounds or less. Vic Morley of this city who has been going great of late will meet his rival Artie O'Day of East Hampton, Mass. O'Day hung a technical kayo on Morley at the Velodrome this past summer, and Morley will be out to even up matters while O'Day will try to duplicate with a kayo.

The vis- itors are rated as one of the fast- est gridiron combinations in this section of the state and they are out to win in the coming game. The Mohicans have already acor- ed two victories over the New Brit- ain team while the Hardware City crew has defeated the Silver City combination only once in three meetings. The Blues will have an excellent chance for revenge next Sunday. This season the Mohicans have in their lineup “Skip” Whitehead, one of the fastest backfield men in Meri- den and a former player on the All-Meriden team. Cutson and Ja- kkiel, former Meriden High achool stars, are also on the squad.
