Pacing a weight handicap of at least 15 to 20 pounds to the man, the Pawnee football team will rely o its speed Sunday in the semi-pro championship game with the New Britain Bluss. The contest will be staged at Memorial Field in Willow | Brook park at The Pawnees will also rely to a great extent on the kicking ability of F. Quarti, the peer of Pawnee punters. Last Sunday in the gams against All-Burnside, Quarti aver- aged 50 yards and better on every Kick. It was his boots that kept the Pawnees goal line out of danger. In the hine especially is where the Pawnees are outweighed. Despite this, the Pawnees are supremely confident that they will be able to withstand the charges of the Blues because of the cess met by the team in its games this year against the same odds. Both the Pawnces and the Blues have met and defeated some of the best semi-pro teams in the state. Last Sunday the Pawnees won while the Blues lost. The Blues were de- feated more through poor judgment than through inefficiency on the team. Both teams have been put through some stiff prac- tice sessions and both Will be at their best by game time. Coaches Turner and Gianotta ef the Pawnees hoth report thét they will have a snappy team with a sur- prise attack on the field Sunday and the Blues will have to step to win. The Pawnees will practice tonight at 7:30 o'clock at the 'iast street field. ANl members are asked to re- port. The final practice session will be held Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. 2:30 o'clock.

What the team lacks most is experience and time will supply this important ele- ment. 8o before many games are over the quintet is expected to have the needed ability to stand up under by fire and battle as well when things | are going wrong as when all is well. The team went all right Monday until it lost Grusha and Goffa on fouls. The former has a tendency to hook dribbling men and was fre- quently disqualified last year, 80 it is up to him to check himself. With Goffa it is merely a case of playing too hard and Coach Ray Anderson is impressing him with the need of playing carefully as well as energeti- cally. Goffa led the attack Monday and should ne a hig offensive weapon. Kerelejza showed his usual clever passing and shooting game, while Schmarr, the new man, showed that -experience is all he needs to make him a star. Com- pagnone was his old defensive self. The substitutes showed by their un- certainty that they had not yet ac- quired the desired exnerience, but this I8 hring gained risht along.

AMATELR BODIES DECLARE A TRUCE { Athletic Union Paves Way for Peace With Gollege Group New York, Nov. 22 (#—Except for a few stray shots here and there among those who cherish the old fashioned militancy, there athletic governing powers of the United States this winter. Irom the fashion in which verbal gunfire was let loose before, during and after ke Olympic games |it had scemed that the rival parties { —namely, those led by the Amateur Athletic Union on one side and the National Collegiate A. A. on the other—hardly could be restrained disposition seemed to be to ignore any question of it being a private fight and jump right in. The A. A. U.. however, has with one or two swift gestures paved the way for peace. not only within its own ranks but in relations with the college authoritics. This conflict of authority and ambition, between the N. C. A. A. and the A. A. U, has been back of most of the athletic squabbles in the last two decades. nicalities, hitherto objectionable to the college groups. the A. A. U., has taken a far-reaching step toward better feeling. By electing to the presidency Avery Brundage ot Chi- cago, a “Rig Ten” man, the union has selected its leader from the heart of the so-called “enemy terri- Chicago has been the headquar- ters of anti-A. A. U. sentiment. The “Big Ten” through its commissioner, Major John L. Griffith, has opposed the A. A. U., policies on many oc- | casions. Tt was one of the groups to withdraw from the Olympic asso- ciation several years ago as an after- math to the row for control of that body. If there is any more shooting, therefore, Brundage will be in the front line trenches but athletic ob- | servers feel there is every reason to | look forward instead to a period of | peace. A. A. U. men, at least, con- sidered they have done a large part toward restoring harmony and ef- fecting an edjustment of policy con- sistent with changing times. It will be interesting to note what reception these gestires receive when the National Collegiate A. A. holds its annual convention in New Orleans the last week in December.

C., Vincent Gullo of Meriden and John- ny Byra of Hartiord have both been pronounced in the best of condition for a gruelling match. The boys are meeting for the third successive time to decide which is the better fighter. Each has won one decision over the other and on both occasions the margins wert as slim as could pos- sibly be. Gullo packs a wallop but he will | have to land it to stop Byra.

Tradition, extending back to 1875, has made it that and the sme | tradition will bring a capacity crowd to the Bowl this Saturday for the| game despite the reverses each team has suffered this season. The sons of Eli have taken the ahort end of thg acore three times, from Army, Maryland and Prince- ton, while John Harvard has bowed to Army and Pennsylvania . and played a drab scoreless tie with Holy Cross last Saturday. However, it is in the books that ft will be a close hard fought game, as it always has been, and the big game of the wegk. Princeton, defying tradition to' play Navy a week after the Yale game, may provide something to de- tract some interest from the Yale.| Harvard struggle. The Tigers and Midshipmen have put on a good many hot midseason clashes and there i8 no indicatien that the change in date will affect the game appreciably. Princeton still is unde- feated, although tied twice, but Bill ; Roper has found numerous reasons to complain of the difficulties of taking on a team as strong as Navy a week after the traditional season's end battle. Bo far as caatern or national championship honors are concerned, the game between undefeated Car- negie Tech and New York Univer- sity at Pittsburgh heads the list. With lines of almost equal strength the outcome of the battle seems to, have narrowed down to the ques- tions of Whether Carnegie can main- tain the. high competitive pitch that enabled it to score so declsively over Notre Dame and whether N. Y. U. can shake Ken 8trong free of the tartan defense for a few of his bril- iant open field runs. Dartmouth already h started west for its big intersectional shot against Northwestern in Evanston, the home town of its coach, Jess Hawley, andNts captain, Dick Black. Hawley. who again is not certain Y can get away from business fto handle his coaching duties next year, hcpes to make sure of a good end for his curcer if it dees end, by winning the last game of a poor season. Army will entertain Nebraska in the one intersectional game on an eastern fleld and has several qualms about the result despite the score- less tie the Cornhuskers played with Pitt last week. Army's scrubs, us- ing Nebraska plays, h: been mak- ing too much headway against the regulars in practice to suit the cadets, = ‘Another game that is backed by a long tradition is the Lafayette-Le- high encounter at Easton, seems des- tined to fizzle out as it has in the past few year: Lehigh never got started this season and seems no match for the strong Lafayette team. Boston College, one of the two un- defeated and untied teams in the cast, intends to take Connecticut Aggies in its stride while preparing to meet Holy Cross a week later. The Aggies are the only eastern team that has not been scored on, but three games have resulted in score- less ti Villanova, another undefeated ag- gregation, takes on Davis-Elkins, a dangerous opponent. The little West Virginia team has decisions over Navy and West Virginia and likes nothing better than to knock one of the big teams off its pedestal.

Al Middleton Is Shifted to Guard For Hartford High School Game Saturday—Landino to Play at Quar- terback—Zaleski, Grip and Sowka to Hit the Line —Dobkin and Cunningham of Capital City Eleven Will Play—Both Elevens Anxious to Score Victory. ‘If the present plans of Coach George M. Cassidy hold as his foot- ball team begins its final practice this afternoon for the Hartford game 8aturday, the original New Britain High school bhackfield whi¢h started the season, will again be united for the first time since the Stamford game, Al Middleton, left halfback, will be shifted to left guard. The backfield lineup has been working out for the past few days. FRANK CASALE Center Landino is quarterback, Zaleski and Grip are halfbacks, and Sowka Is fullback. Middleton was used at right tackle yesterday afternoon, but Coach Cassidy is satisfied with his tackles so it is his plan to use Middleton in Kuhs' left guard posi- tion unless something radical is done in practice this aft¥®rnoon. Another move, one which is popular, is the shifting of Joe Potts back to right guard wiere he played in the first three games of the scason. He will take Dumin's place. The guard positions have been Coach Cassidy’s nemesis the greater part of the season and especially in the last weel In Middleton the coach will have a player who is ex- perienced in the line as well as in the backfield. Middleton played part of the time on the line at Suffield Pre- paratory school. He is the second heaviest man on the team and will play next to the heaviest, “Penoke” Ludwinowicz, left tackle. Joe Potts is one of the smartest linemen on the squad. In his last game against Adams High school he intercepted & forward pass and ran for a touch- down, . Coach Cassidy intends to use every one of his available backfield men in the scrimmage this afternoon. It is probable that they will all be used in Grip's position at left halfback. Among those who will be given a last chance to make the backfield are Al Middleton, Billy Ross, Henry Krasgewski and H. Carlson. The team had practically the en- tire afternoon for practice yester- day, the boys being let out early. Apparently Bill Kuhs will not be able to play 8aturday. His ankle is twice its normal size and Dr. Zwick is afraid it may be broken. An X-ray s to be'taken today. Quarterback Dobkin ot the Hartford team will be be rcady to start the New Britain game and it is cert in that Cunning- ham, end, will also play. Both teams will be ready to give everything they have because it will mean the winning of the Triangular title. ‘It will also mean as good a claim on the state title as any other team in the state. If Hartford wins it will take the triangular honors with two victories and no defeats. 1t New Britain wins it will take the title with one victory, one tie and no defeats. Hartford and New Haven will have one loss and one tie. New Britain’s only hope relative to the William F. Fieischer cup will be to keep Hartford from winning it and thus holding it over for an- other year. By its tie with New Haven Hillhouse High school team BILLY ROSS Quarterback last week the Hardware Cily cleven climinated itself from all chances of winning it this year. 8ince H ford has not been defeated or tied it will win the cup if it defeats New Britain Saturday. The game will be played at Bulke- ley Stadium, which was formerly Clarkin field, and will start prompt- ly at 2 o'clock.
