GULLO AND BYRA TO MEET KID WILLIAMS TO PLAY IN RUBBER MATCH FRIDAY HA%%%";E&%E Meriden and Hartford Amateur Blttlel‘l to Settle Scores at Stanley Arena — Al Gainer and Barney Fox to Clash In Semi-Final — Franco-American Club Entered Against Simon-Pures to Be In Card. When Vincent Gullo, rugged featherweight from Meriden, and Johnny Byra, two-fisted Italian mauler from Hartford, come togeth- er in the feature bout of the first amateur card of the season at the Stanley Arena Friday night, they will be meeting in the ‘“rubber match” between them. The staged two rousing scraps at Capitol Park in Hartford during the sum- mer. Byra took a close decision in the first encounter while Gullo won the second. Both decisions were roundly booed by the fans. The advent of cold weather pre- vented their third meeting outdoors and Matchmaker Paul Glickstein has been fortunate in securing the two as headliners for this city. They will head a card of 10 bouts. Another feature carded for the night is the battle between Al Gainer, kayo artist from New Haven and Barney Fox of Terryville. These two are sluggers of the vicious | type and both are bitter rivals. i JOHNNY ANDREWS . The Franco-American elub which has entered the tournament, will stack up its best hoxers against the eream of the New Haven team. Five boys in all have been entered from Waterbury including Jack Paoli, Joe Dignal, Joe Rocko. Paul Lord and Ray Dolan. All of these have appeared about the state and are well krown performers Johnny Andrews, sturdy from New Haven, will mix it up with an opponent to be picked from the crew. Andrews lias become one of the leading hoys in the amateur ranks. New Britain has three entries, Johnny Neuman, Johnny Clinch. Wallingford will be represented by Fred lanucel, a slug- ger who h been wading through his class in the amateurs. w Haven's team will be by Sam Schrebneck, only boy remaining in the ran of Con- necticut amatenrs.

MONTREAL SCORES ¢y Team to 1 to 0 Decision New York, Nov. 21.—M—The | Montreal Maroons have had at least }a quartér of their revenge for their | defeat by the New York Rangers last spring in the playotfs for the Stan- ley cup, emblem of the world’s hockey championship. The Maroons lcame to New York last night and hattled to a 1 to 0 victory over the Rangers in a fast game just after they had watched the presentation of the cup to the Rangers, Nels Stewart, | star wing, was the means by which the Maroons proved themselves to be the better team. He shot the only goal of the game on a fine individual | play | Lorne Chabot, Toronto goalie, was | even a greater hero with one of the | most brilliant bits of work in the nets ever n in the National Hockey league. At one time penal- [ ties cut down the Toronto team until Chabot had only one man in front lof him but he managed to prevent a score. The work was in vain. how- ever, for Ottawa won the game, 4 to | 1, for its first victory of the season The first two Senators’ games were ties.

WIN OVER RANGERS| {Maroons Battle New York Hock- Capital Gity Eleven to Have Same Lineap Next Sunday Elated over their victory over the Nutmeg A. C. football team of this city last Sunday at Willow Brook park, the Hartford Giants will keep their lineup intact for the third and deciding game which will be played at the East Hartford Velodrome next Sunday. With the Blues and the Pawnees scheduled to meet at Me- morial fleld for the semi-pro cham- pionship of New Britain, the pro teams will have to play in Hartford to carry out their schedule. The Giants are cocky after out- ! playing New Britain last Sunday and to many they have plenty of reasons jto be. The team was an absolutely l(hfferi‘nt combination over the eleven that went down to feat three weeks hefore that while New Britain cer- tainly had an off day as far as its offnsive strength was concerned. Manager Henry Zehrer is planning to get additional players for the coming game. He is at a loss for backfield men since Radzewich suf- fered an injury. Griswold is also on the injured list and will be un- able to enter the contest and he feels that the present backfield com- bination has been overworked. He hasn’t yet announced who will * b with the team but he expects to hear from some lines he laid out yester- day, today. The New Britain team will go into the game next Sunday angered and ready to win. Taunted by the charges of New Britain fans that the game was “in the bag,” the crew will show no quarter to its opponents. On the other hand, the Giants will be just as eager to win and will be helped by ‘the kriowledge that they 'have shattered in a measure the morale of the Hardware City crew, To all appearances, the game will be one for blood and therefore a humdinger. BSevera] details will have to be ironed out: before full arrangements can be completed. Mgnager Zehrer plans . to hold out against having Mann as referee owing to the num- ber of complaints he has received from fans who have attended the first two games. The Nutmegs will practice Thurs- day night and the squad will be driven to the limit. Conklin and Radzewich will be over their injur- ies by then, it is expected, and they will probably be able to start Bun- day. “Raddy” had an off day and although he gave his hardest efforts, he couldn't kit his stride. shinday's game will be started not later than 2:15 o'clock hecause ‘darkness comes along too early. Last Sunday's game, with the times- out, was finished barely in time.

This action was tak- fen at a meeting of the league man- agers in Hartford last night. He is probably the outstanding star of the game at the present time and was lone of the greatest goal getters in the league last year. Indecision on the part of the man- agers regarding a sixth team in the circuit elicited a statement from Edward J. Dailey, one of the hold- ers of the New Haven franchise that New Haven would not be en- tered in the league if there were no sixth team in the circuit. “They will have either a six team league or they canplay with a four team cir- cuit,” Mr. Dailey stated today. He explained that the promoters of the New Haven club, Stationed in Bristol last season, did not meet with very much success in their ef- forts to revive the game there and that they weuld take no chances this year on sinking more money into a proposition unless there ap- peared to be sufficient interest in it. The promoters have shifted their home playing surface to Mu- sic hall in New Haven but they be- lieve, that with only five teams in LOGALS 0 PLAY BAYONNE QUINTET Manager Lanpber Signs Strong Basketball Team for Game Manager Clarence Lanpher of the New Britain basketball team an- nounced today that he had secured the Arcola Bears of Newark, N.

The Jersey team is one of the best professional quintets in the “gkeeter State” and has been play- ing together for several weeks al- ready. EDDIE GASEY MAY SUGGEED HORWEEN Fas Had Record as Mentor of Freshman Eleven Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 21 (UP) —Eddie Casey, prominently men- tioned as the likely successor o Ar- nold Horween in the event of the ilatter's retirement as head football coach at Harvard, has maintained an enviable record during his three years as the Crimson's freshman coach. Three days after Casey assumed that post in 1926, his freshman eleven met Andover and was de- feated 6 to 0. Since that time, Casey-coached yearling elevens have plaged 18 games without a defeat. {They 'have won 16 of these games {and’ held their opponents to score- less ties in the other two. Casey's record follows: ‘Won. Lost Tied. . 4 1 i1 .5 0 1928 T ‘Analysis of this record shows that | in each of these seasons Casey's fresiman elevens were victorious | over the Yale Frosh, and that in 1927 and 1928 they decisively de- teated the Harvard seconds, holding the seconds to a scoreless tie in 1926. & Harvard undergraduates have criticized Horween because of his failure to produce a winning varsity eleven from the apparently excel- lent freshman material passed on to him by Casey. Horween's record for the past | three years is unimpressive, with 11 victories, chiefly against inferior teams, 11 defeats, and one scoreless tie It has long been a habit at Har- vard to gauge success of its football cleven by the outcome of the annual game with Yale.

After their initial baptism of fire, the local girls will be anxious to start their winning streak. Williams, former Connecticut Ag- gies star, will hardly be available for the team until after the gridiron season is over. He is playing with the Steam Rollers of Providence and as that team is engaged twice a week, it is impossible for him to start on basketball until the grid season is finished. He will appear here for a workout after he is through with his grid activities, {McComb Returns to 6 Connecticut Aggies Storrs, Nov. 21 (UP)—Connecti- ’cm Aggie's preparations for Satur- day's battle with Boston college |were given added impetus by the |return to the team of the injured | {McComb, halfback.

Welch, a BE IN GALIFORNIA New York, Nov. 21 P—Golt professionals are canny business men in deciding to hold the 1929 tournament of th: P. G. A. in California. The interesting title contest will be held in the winter when the men whos business is playing golf will be on the Pacific coast in the natural westward trend of their profession at that season of the year. Leo Diegel will defend his championship at Santa Barbara. The decision of the pros to go to the far west next year will give golf fans of California the neighborin, l states opportunities to see the game's most accomplished performers for amateur championship will be play- ed at Pebble Beach in 8eptember. The great Bobby Jones has never sung a note of “California Here I Come,” and his first appearance on the Pacific coast will create wide- #pread interest. The Atlanta attor- ney probably will be more in dan- ger of writer's cramp from signing his name on score cards than trou- ble with his grip. “Rubber Tire” has hit his shots in the northwest, middle west, south, east and in Great Britain, 8o certainly he will give the Californians a treat, win, lose or draw. The executive committee of the United States Golf Association, meet- ing in New York tomorrow, is ex- pected to authorize a departure from the usual custom of holding the open championship in June. It i understood that he dates for the title hunt in 1929 over the winged foot course, Mamaroneck, N. Y., will be in July. The committes also will receive a recommendation from the women's tournament committee for a course for the 1929 women's cham- pionship. The women's suggestion, which probably will call for a club on the edge of the middle west, will be approved as a matter of course. Johnny Farrell, open champion, who finished second to Dr. O. F. Willing. well known northwest ama- teur, in the Oregon open is back on his game after a slump that has deg- ged his golf footsteps for weeks. Only 27 years of age and in the prime of his golfing lite, Johnny found that even his iron nerves could not stand the strain of playing day in and day out with few times out for rest and recreation other than golf. After winning the title at Chicago in June the champion play- ed scores of matches in the next four months, eften with a night on the train between appearances on courses far apart. His game suffer- ©d and the more he played the worse his performance. The reigning golf- er of the country was a spectator at the P. G. A. champienship, net per. mitted to compete through failure to quality. A rest proved the romody\-nd at Portland last week he played 7Ty holes against stiff competition in 296 strokes, good emough te finish a stroke besind Dr. Willing, but more importang from Johnny's standpoint, good enough to win the $1,600 first money. Doubtless the champion was glad enough to take the money and let the amateur have the glory. VARSITY TAKES l'l‘ EASY Providence, R. I.. Nov. 21 (UP) —With the varsity taking it easy awaiting the Thanksgiving day ob- jective game with Colgate, Brown's third elevens were to get in shape for Saturday's clash ’wnh Rhode Island State. “Link"” Fogarty, Brown's triple threat, is still out with a knee in- jury, but it is hoped that he may' cember 1. be able to play against Colgate. Mflll‘lllhfllflllorhl- Pro Goampionship of Gity 8unday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at Memorial field in Willow Brook park, the semi-pro football cham- plonship of this city will be decided when the New Britain Blues, repre- senting the Ranger A. C. on the gridiron, and the Pawnees, an eleven recruited on the East Side, clash. It goes without saying that the two teams are bitter rivals on the field. This feeling has been enhanc- ed through the fact that the Blues scored a decided victory over the Pawnees last season and the Paw- nees, with a stronger combination, are out to even the score. The two teams stand about even in the number of games won and lost this year. The Blyes have a slight edge in weight but the Paw- nees oftset this with additional speed in the backfield. Both have strong lines and the game will be a bitter fight all through. Last Sunday the Blues met a re- verse at the hands of the Meriden Falcons while the Pawnees were set- ting back the strong All-Burnside eleven. Both of thé teams opposing the local elevens were about an even bet and formed a good idea of the strength of the Hardware City elevens. Both teams wil lbe practicing sev- eral times this week. The Pawnees worked out last night at the East street field and showed *plenty of stuff. They have a series of plays which were used to advantage last Sunday and they will uncork them against the Blues Sunday. The Blues will practice Thursday night at 8 o'clock and Coach Zwick sends out a call for all members of the team to be on hand for the ses- sion. Garvey Won't Play Is Belief at Yale New Haven, Nov. 21 (UP)—Be- lieving Johnny Garvey, outstanding Ell running back, will not be suf- ficiently recovered from his injuries to play in Saturday's Yale-Harvard game, Head Coach Mal Stevens is alternating Loud and Snead in the crippled star's position. Stevens said he was uncertain about the quar- terback position but probably would use Hoben, Wilson and Ellis in the order named. Miller probably will see more service than Decker, the star defensive back of the Blue squad, who has two broken fingers. Dud Charlesworth, all-America cen- ter a year ago, will be third choice as pivot man Saturday, it was an- nounced. Loeser, a sophomore, probably will start with Palmer and Charlesworth held as relief. NEW BRl'l'AlN HAS I:DGE ON HARTFORD IN RECORD * Hardware City High School Fooflull Eleven Hu Won 19 Games to 10 For Capital City Crew—Meet In 32d Annual Contest On Saturday—Winner of Game Will Have Claim’On State Championship—Team Is Congiderably Changed In Scnmmuo—'l‘ry to Fill Guard Post. ‘The New Britain High school foot- ball team has a decided edge over its; arch-rival, Hartford High in the all- time record of the two teams. New Britain has won 19 games, Hartford 10, and two ‘contests ended in ties in the 31 times the rivals have pla; ed. They will meet for the 32d time in Hartford Saturday. The rivalry began in 1§91, Con- ALBERT MIDDLETON trary to the impreassion which has taken root in recent years, the two teams did not play their first, game in 1898, It was in 1891 that the teams met. Hartford won that game. I'or the first 28 years of rivalry in- cluding a few years when the teams did not play, Hartford w scofe only four victories. ain's reign came to a close in 1917 when the teams battled to a tie. From that time until the present, Hartford has won six and lost four games. It took Hartford High 28 years to defeat New Britain on its home field. This came in 1895 by a 22 to 12 score and the Capital City team had to wait 28 years until 1923 be- fore it could accomplish the feat again. Since 1923 Hartford has de- feated New Britain on its home field on every occasion. New Britain has defeated Hartford on its home field since that time, winning victories in 1924 and 1926. According to this schedule the Hardware City team's turn should come this year. Althoush the winning of the game won't give the New Britain or Hart- ford team the championship defi- nitely, the claim of the victor will be as good as any in the state with the possible exception of Naugatuck High school eleven, the only unde- feated team in the state. This fact will add much to the rivalry of the teams as they meet on the fleld. All-Time Record 1891—N. B. 6, Hartford 11‘ 1892—N. B. 10, Hartford 1893—N. B. 26, Hartford o, ALEX ZALESKI .
