Speaking of Sports Plans of the Burritt club to con- duct a basketball team independent- ly every week at the T. A. B. hall have been permanently abandoned. The management of the Burritt team reached agreeable terms with the officers of the Tabs for the use of the floor once a week but the members of the club decided that the proposition was too big a one te handle successfuily. Recelpts from the baseball series with the Falcons put the Burritts on a good financial standing and they are unwilling to take the “long” chance in promoting a bas- ketball team independently. The team won over 60 games in the last three years against some of the best teams in the state. It cap- tured the state title two years ago. According to Manager Ken Saun- ders, the team plans to play on the road this year since it will have no hame floor, Andy Yacobowicz, Mieckowski, McGrath, Fred Saun- ders, Lutty, Hammy Darrow, Ar- bour, Adams and other well kmiown players will appear in the Burritt lineup. Al Havlick, According to present outlook, there ‘is a possibility that the Bur- ritts will play & number of prelim- inary games on Saturday evenings to the All-New Britain five. Nothing definite on this matter has been insued by Manager Clar- ence Lanpher of the New Britain five but he is considering the propo- sition, Al Middleton, hard - charging backficld man and sterling defensive cog in the New Britain High school football téam, has completed his study work and he will be seen for the first time today with the eleven, His number will be 21 and fans will have the opportunity to see him in action today. Jack Britton, likke the weather, keeps going on in fistic circles. The night before last he won a bout in Boston which adds another victory to a long string that spreads over a time period of many, many years. Britton will probubly be seen in ac- tion in this city some time in the near future, Three New Britain football teams will be in action tomorrow. The Nutmegs will be. playing in Staple- ton, 8. I.; the Blues will appear at Willow Brook park, while the Paw- nees will go to Torrington, DARTMOUTH AND YALE HAYE CRIPPLED TEAMS Both Elevens Will be Entirely Minus Regular Backfield Men—Out- come Uncertain, New Haven, Nov, 8 (M—Without the driving cogs of each machine, Dartmeuth and Yale will come to- gother this afternoon in their 12th gridlren meeting with asubstitute backfields replacing injured regu- Iars. Beth teams, looked upon prior te last week's games as “leading contenders,” suffered heavily under defeats, 0 much so that 11 first string men will sit out the contest. The effensive strength of the blue will be weakened by the loss of Garvey and Loud as well as Hoben, thelr signal caller. The Green will appear even harder hit with six cripples on its list, foremost of whom is Marsters, All-America back. Despite never having won a same from the Elis, Dartmouth is conceded an even chance for victory and some of the 70,000 fans in the Bewl will cheer her on. The prob- able lineup: Tale. Dartmouth.

Keithley, Illinois, YAN KEMPEN AND RODAK AGAIN LEAD BIKE RAGE Sories of Sprints Helps to Juggle Manding of Teams Entered in Grind Chicago, Nov. 3 UM—A series of sprints had jugsgled the standing in the six-day bicycle race at the Broadway armory today, the final session of the contest. At the 136th hour Van Kempem and Rodak had wedged their way back into first place after Dempary and Costello had held the top netch . for & day. Garrison and Bensatto were in the lead a short time last night. The ten teams were even in mile- age, with a few laps and points sep- arating the riders in first and last " place. In today's last hours it was . expected that point winners might figure heavily in switching the standings. FALL SPORTS HUB NEW HAVEN BOWL Whea You Speak of Football, YonEnLolYlle “Are you going to the game?” asked at this time of the year and in these parts usually means one thing—are you going to the Yale Bowl. There are other football games gnd other places to watch them but hosts of Connecticut folk think only of football in connection with the fall games played at the| Bowl. A game there takes on the air of a spectacle staged on a grand style. Enough people to populate a good sized cily are seated in the concrete arena three or four Saturdays each i autumn and an equal number wguld like to be there if they could get seats, Perhaps this is one of the attract- ing features which draws many men and women to Yale Field, It satis- fies personal pride to be numbered |4 “among those present” at popular gatherings, And certainly crowds of folks attend whose knowledge of football is far too limited to allow them any critical pleaspre in the teams’ play. But that in a more or less degree applies to the vast majority of the spectators. Few know the rules, -x- ccpt in a general way, and the uc- tion is too swift and too far removed for the stands to take in the detaily of half the plays. 8till with the open game now in vogue much more can be seen than in a former duy and a summary of the rules is printed in the program if you care to read ft. You neced only ¥ look about at! the Bowl or any stadium for that matter to see' that football alone or any favorite team could not attract 50 many men and women, who by thelr remarks and comments on the #ame reveal that they know noth- ing about If. After the game gets go- i ing many of them cannot tell the| teams apart. Fans Understand Bascball Tennis and polo may attract smaller crowds of the same sort, Kolf tournaments do so to a less ex- tent, but baseball parks are filled with men and women who under- stand the game and go to see ft!} played for its own sake. Football is the only game that attracts people by the tens of thousands who would not go if the crowd were absent. There i{s an adventure in going to the Bowl. If you are not of the fa- vored Yale alumnli the excitement begins with the search for tickets for a big game. That may mean the Army, Princeton or Harvard games. Dartmouth tickets also may soon be scarce. You have to put your natural pride in your pocket each fall and g0 out begging for tickets. It that method proves a flop you have one other course open which adds a zest to the adventure. Go down to the gates and try te pick up a ticket from someone who has an extra one for sale at face value, Bay that you are provided with the necessary tickets the day before the game, your chief concern is the weather. Will it rain? Reassured by the morning sun yeu hurry your geétaway from your duties. An early start is imperative. You learned that from experience. Once you missed the first quarter of a game because of the delay caused by a blowouyt. Another time, when you had allow- ed an hour and a halt for the trip to New Haven, a freight train on the crossing at Plainville delayed you so long that you had to turn back. Delays are the order of the day 80 the wise ones start early and carry their lunch. Speéd Laws Suspended The thrill of the game begins as soon as you get on the state high- way and it does not end until you turn out of the procession at night and into the street that leads to your home. Every car appears to be going to the Bowl. A 30-mile race is ahead and outside of the towns no one curbs his speed. State police and country constables facilitate your quick passage and the accidents on the day of a big game are almost nil. No matter how early you thigk you are, when you near the Bowl you will find a jam of cars ahead of you all needing g place to park. If you know the game you will pick out a side street mot far from the field and park your car where you can get out quickly after the battle. Then you get your lunch out of the way and go over to the fleld to watch the crowd. g Sixty, seventy or eighty thousands of people are pouring gates. A care free, happy and order- ly crowd. The people making it up ave been there before. They know the ropes. They ° lelsurely stroll around the half mile of amply wide space between the gates and the portal entrances. They smoke and through the (&« NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1928 WITH THE BOWLERS ROGERS ALLEYS LANDERS (LUB LEAGUE . Draves Carlson Venberg Hillgtrand Holcomb Seital J.

Breaking for a second time the silence which he otherwise had maintained consistently with respect to the presidential campaign, Presi- dent Coolidge wired the republican i romince at the conclusion of his St. Louis address last night an expres- sion of confidence in the ability to | administer the affairs of the nation land a declaration that he had demonstrated a fitness for the presi- dency. Although reports had persisted for | wecks that Mr. Coolidge would at some stage take an active part in the Hoover campaign, he had made but a sin public pronouncement in this connection, a message to the lassachusetts state republican con- vetntion asserting that the country | needed W continuance of republican | rule. Hears By Radio Declaring that he had listened on the radio to the St. Louis address with great satisfaction, Mr. Coolldge | termed it the concluding specch in series which had disclosed *“a breadth of information, a maturity {of thought and a soundness of con- !clusion on public questions never | surpassed in a previous presidential | campaign.” The chief executive told the nom- ince he had had “the knowledge and ‘B: rade NIGHT w SIX 1995w Standard Six Sis, $1395 to $1495. 83693, $1850 to Coupe, $1045; Sedan, $1098; Touring, 9995, Hosdater, 9995, Special Great Six, And now the tenth successive month in Willys-Overland’s record-breaking year—October, with sales of Whippet judgment” to truth,” that he had. “besn elear, candid and courteous” and had demonstrated a faith in the peopie and a “consciousness that the truth has a power and conclusivenses of its own that is always supreme,” The discussion, Mr. Coolidge sald, had “only made more plain the wisdom™ {of Hoover's proposals for meeting the issues of the day.
