Speakingi of Sports { Te followers of the New Britain High school football team, it has been a atrange thing that the Ver- mont Academy officials would not consent to a postponement of the game here Saturday so that New Britaln could play Hillhouse Hign of New Haven this Saturday in the Same that was 30 unfortunately in-| terrupted last week by the death of a New Haven player. However, after a trip to Vermont by Coach George M. Cassidy of “the High school, he discovered that the Vermont officiala had not been fa- miliar with the facts of the case. When he told them of the season for the cancellation of last Satur- day's game with New Haven and the wish that the game could b: played this week, the Vermont of- ficlals immediately capitulated. Not only did the officials concur with the local coach, but the mem- bers of the foothall team, to whom a trip to New Britain was one of the brightest spots in the scason, immediately urged the officials to call off the Vermont game. Good sportsmanship of this sort can deserve nothing but the high- est of praise from every single per- son interested in the matter, Right- ly, the Vermont officials refused to call their game here Saturday off thinking that it was just a case of New Britain (rying to dump them. When the true facts became known. however, they were anxious and eager to coopcrate. Tt is the hope of everyone con- cerned that Coach Cassidy and the New Britain High school officials will do everything in their power to be foes worthy of the best of treat- ment., Manager John Whitty of the New York Celtics basketball team flatly denied over the telephone last night that the Celtics as a basketball or- ganization had disbanded. He atat- ed that the story probably originat- ed when the Celtics decided not to enter the American league this year. He added that the Celtics were ml the running this year as much as they have ever been. He stated that his team was plan- ning a trip to this vicinity on Christ- mas Day. He plans to play Bris- tol on the afternoon of Christmas Day and wanis to play In New Brit- ain on Christmas night. .\lamazz, Clarence Lanpher has heen notifi of his plans and the game will prob- ably be signed. Yale appears due to face Prince- ton not only in a playing stlump but in a period of mental depression that secms to amount to nothing less than & blue funk. New Haven papers yes- terday carried stories to the effect that Yale lost the Maryland game because the boys had not been go- ing to bed of nights as they should. Tt seems that fraternity initiations and other activities have been in full swing at the university, so some of the players have been going through their stunts and others have been putting them through, with the re- sult that none of the lads have had the necessary rest. Something like this must be true, for the Yale team was a very sad looking outfit against Maryland. be- ing unable to hold the ball, having no punch in the attack, and seeming to lack that all-important essential —courage. 1f we ever saw a stale team it was that one. Coach Mal Stevens is said to have requested that fraternity activities be postponed until after the football season, but it appears that the dam- age has been done for the present year. Yesterday the sccond team played hob with the regulars, who could not gain consistently and who collapsed on the defense as well. Stevens has ordered the team out for scrimmage again today—he had them working long after dark yester- day—and he is working feverishly to restore the zest and morale of the team before it meets the strong Orange and Black eleven at Prince- ton Saturday. Boston College Battles Canisius Team Saturday Biston, Nov. 15 (UP)—Boston college, unbeaten and untied this scason, will leave for Buffalo. N. Y., tonight, preparatory to meeting the undefeated Canisius eleven Satur- day. “This Canisius game will be the hardest on the schedule thus far.” said Joe McKenney, the Kagles' 23 year old coach, whose team alrcady has scored victori~s over Navy, Duke and Fordham. Boston College Is not in the best of shape. Its injury lst includes the names of “Zeus” Wilczewski, Bernie Kilroy, Paddy Creeden and Jack Kennedy. Indications today werc that at lcast one or two of these men would see action Satur- day, however.

Coach Hanley is taking two sets of halfbacks to Indisna. Haas and Bruder are teamed as one set and Calderwood and Griffin probably will get the 1l to start. New mYork Motor Coach :30 A. M. Daily, from HUDSON RESTAURANT 276 Matn St. Tel. 8781 l pounds, TORONTO HOCKEY TEAN REVANPED Maple Leals Have Been Strength- ened by Addition of Six Players Toronto, Ont, Nov. 15 ® — Strengthened by the addition of six new players, three of whom already thave proved their worth in profes- sional ranks, the Toronto Maple Leafs will present a much revamp- ed lincup when they clash with the Chicago Black Hawks in the open- ng game of the/ National Hockey lcague here tonight. The Leafs fin- dian group last season. Jimmie Herberts Ramsay, veteran defense “Butch” Keeling, right wing. and John Ross Roach, crack goal ten- der, have gone, but in their places ¢ players expected to transform [the leafs into a serlous contender for the league championship.’ teplacing Itoach's familiar form between the goal posts will be Lorne Chabot, formerly of the New York Rangers, who was traded to Toronto with $12,500 for Roach. The deal was put through when Toronto officials declined to mect Roach’s request for an increase in salary. To fill the gap left in the Leafs' jdefense by the departure of Her- berts and Ramsay, Jack Arbour was purchased from Detroit jo work with Art Duncan, Art Smith and “Happy” Day. “Happy" was put out of the game by injuries a month before the his return will add strength which was lacking when the team was go- {ing at its best last season. ! Another player who was lost to {the Leafs throvkh injury a good part of last winter is Dr. Bill Car- ®on, who will be back at his old lcenter post. Jrvin Bailey will patrol the left flank as of vore with prob- ably Jerry Lowrey accupying the regular right wing position. But the Leafs' strength does not end with their regulars. For the |forward lines relief they have Dan- ny Cox, whose lcg was broken last Iyear, putting him out of the game for most of the meason; Alex Gray, obtained from the Rangers last =pring a trade for Keeling: “Shorty” Horne, purchasell from the Stratford Nationals . of Canadian Profeasional lcague; Rolly Connacher, who is not a relative of the famous Lionel but, nevertheless, performed s ionally in amateur ranks here; Joe Primeal, who is |#tepping up from the Toronto Fal- cons, the Leafs' farm, and Andy Blair, star ccnter of the Manitoba |varsity team which last year won |the Allan cup, emblematic of Ca- {nadian amateur hockcy supremacy. Blair, who is rated one of the best all-around athletes in the Ca- nadian west, comes from Winnipeg with & brilliant hockey reputation. Carson will have the struggle of his life to keep Blair from captur- ing his regular center berth. Two of Toromto’s new players, Chabot and Gray, and Danny Cox, a member of last y outfit, will find little trouble in fathoming cach !others' metheds of play. The trio iplayed together in Port Arthur and were instrumental in bringing the |Allan cup to the head of the Lakes City in 1925 and 192 BAT BATTALINO MEETS MILTON COHEN TONIGHT Former and Beatty in Amateur Featherweight King to Battle New Yorker at L'oot Guard Armory. Hdrtford, Nov. 15 UP—Bat Batta- Iino and Milton Cohen of New York micet tomght 1n Foot Guard hall in the star bout of the 1d Hurley Box- ing club show. They met before in pelting rain at the Velodrome so the question of supremacy remains unsettled. Battalino sces himself winner on a knockout, insisting he could not get set to punch in their other mect- |ing as the ring was soaked. Cohien is not a very stiff puncher 50 he makes no kayo forccast, but he does belicve his superior boxing talent and ring generalship will en- able lim to keep out of the way when Bat rushes into the attack and he expects to pile up enough points [to win. There ave several houts on the undercard. Pancho Villa mects Ed Riner of Springfield in a six-rounder and Marino Pagoni of Springfield will meet Zeke Maxier, Hartford county lightweight, in another six. Eddie Reed battles Nick Floren- tino of New Haven in a four-round- er and Kid Thomas of New Britain will clash with Bobby Freeman of Hartford in a four. There are three other bouts. BOSTON BRUINS T0 OPEN HOGKEY SEASON TONIGHT {Hub Squad Leaves for Pittsburgh Mect Odie Cleghorn's Pirates in First Game. to Boston, Nov. 15 (UP)—The Bos- ton Bruins hockey squad left yes- terday for Pittsburgh, Pa., where it will open the National lengue sea- son with Odie Cleghorn's Pirates to- night. Recognizing the handicap of open- ing the season on the road, Manager Art Ross said he would be satisfied it his team broke oven in the two games scheduled at Pittsburgh. The Bruins will open the home season with Les Canadicns here Tuesday night. Three Bruins were slightly indis- posed as the team left Boston, Frank Frederickson.

His team, however, received nothing but forensic brickbats. Disheartened at the team's dismal failure on the gridirgn this season, football stars of better years called them everything from “wooden men” to men without a spark. Chi- cago's high scholastic standards and the £300 tuition fee also were blam- ed for the situation, the speakers claiming they combined to keep good athletes away from the university. John Schommer, star end on the C'hicago eleven in 1906, ‘07, and "08, and one of the two men to win the maximum twelve “C's,” was most | Litter in his condemnation of ‘he players and ‘the administration’s failure fo “help aftract athletes.” “What I would call this team of ours wouldn't look good in print.” caid Schommer, who is also a Rig Ten football referee. * year 1 see (oach Stagg wave his magic wand and turn a bunch of weoden men into foothall players. But not} even he can do it this year. They don’t have the fight and the haven't enough wood even. “And one big reason for our fail- ure to develop a better team is the lack of co-operation by the adminis- tration. With our required scholastic standing of 85 and our $300 tuition and high cost of living, few fathers can afford to send their boys to Chicago. And if the standard and tuition isn't lowered, Chicago might as well kiss athletics good-bye." “Conching this football team has been the most trying job 1 have ever had.” Coach Stagg told the alumni. “But T am young and can stand it. I believe T have not lost too much spirit and vitality to coach a team.” Stagg. who is 66 vears old. .as cheered lustily throughout the meet- ing.
