Every state in Dixie has a fea- ture attraction booked. Interesting battles will be fought out in other sections of the country, notably in the east, where traditional rivalries vie with intersectional clashes, but nothing can be offered to compare to the parade of the Southern Con- ference in mass formation for the day. All the 22 members of the | conference are in action, 20 of them { playing among themselves and two ! engaging outsiders. Two outstanding games in the east at New York and Philadelphia where the tricky Oregon state team meets the powerful New York University aggregation and Cornell tries con- ‘lusions with Pennsylvania for the 5th time since 1893 Penn State and Dittsburgh have been opponents since 1904 without missing a game and West Virginia and Washington and Jefferson have {made their annual game almost an institution. Colgatc and Brown will try to reach a decision at Providence after three ties in a row. The midwest has a light schedule but one that is important to the athletes engaged. Nebraska must dispose of the Kansas Aggics to win the “big si title and Missouri and Oklahom while not playing for a champion- ship, will play as hard as if numer- ous titular honors were involved. Tn the far west, the University of Utah needs only to stop the Utah Aggies to win the Rocky Mountain Conference titie. (Colorado (‘ollege plays Colorado Aggics in a trad)- tional game _but Colorado [Univer- sity's game With Denver has more bearing on the title chase. The All- Washington battle between the Uni- versity and State teams is another struggle promising to be close tought.

Florida's confer- ence recoyd fat outstrips anything Washington and Lee has to offer.

IN FINAL GRID TEST Tradition Alone Maintains In- terest in Tomorrow’s Scraps New York, Nov. 28 P—It's been seldom in recent years that eastern football fans have had to fall back 0 heavily upon tradition alone t maintain interest in the Thanksgiv- | ing Day card. Witk six najor eastern games, only one involves & contender for the mythical sectional championship. New York University conceded rather generally to be just about as powerful an aggregation as there is in the pigskin land, battles the Ore- gon Aggies at the Yankee Stadium and hopes further to demonstrate that the 7-2 defeat by Georgetown was just a mistake, on their records, the Violent Violets are much strong- er in their own section of the woods than are the Aggies out in the Paci- fic coast conference. The Aggies lost three games out on the coast. Three will be plenty of great foot- ball to go along with the pomp of tradition in the other major con- flicts. Down-trodden Cornell, beaten by Princeton and Dartmouth and tied by Columbia and 8t. Bonaven- ture, hardly faces the encounter with confidence. Penn was caught out of step by the Navy but other- wise the Red and Blue had swept everything before fit. Brown and Colgate, who make a habit of battling each other to a draw, will see at Providence whether they can obtain a verdict this time. Colgate's strength is well known and the Bruins of Brown have been good cnough to beat Dartmouth, Holy Cross and Dayton, the latter one of the strongest teams in the Ohio Con- ference. Syracuse is aching for revenge for the 14 to 7 setback it took from Columbia last year but the strug- gle this time looms as a close one between two unsuccessful teams. Pitt’s Panthers are a .general choice to stop the Nittany Lions of Penn State who have not won a game from the Panthers since 1919. Washington and Jefferson will be an under dog against West Virginia but the Mountaineers of Morgan- town, W. Va,, are expecting a close, hard fought affray. Bucknell is athirst for revenge for a 19 to 13 reverse by Temple lnst! season but are given no more than an even chance of accomplishing their desire. Out in the west, good little Tufts will try conclusions with good little Temple with the result at this stage of the proceedings a ti That winds up the majof games for Thanksgiving Day, all hostilities will close for the season on Satur- day when Army encounters Stanford at the Polo Grounds, Holy Crow meeets Boston College and George- town goes west to meet Detroit. NEW YORK AMERICANS LEADING HOCKEY Loop Metropolitan Team Scores Victory Over Ottawa Senators and Remains Undefeated. New York, Nov. 28 (UP)—The New York Americans held the un- disputed lead in the National Hock- cy league today by virtue of their 1 to 0 victory over the Ottawa Sen- utors last night. It was the first game the Senators had lost. The Americans still are undefeated. In second place, at the top of the American group, are the New York Rangers. The Rangers did not play last night but their total of 7 points —one less than the Americans—was sufficient to keep their advantage intact. Ottawa, in the international group, also has seven points. The Montreal Maroons scored the casiest victory of the season on their Lkome court, routing the Toronto Maple Leafs by a 4 to 0 count. The victory brought the Maroons to a position only two points behind the leaders. Boston won a close victory from | Pittshurgh, 1 to 0, at Boston, Ap- proximately 30,000 fans witnessed the three games, it was estimated.

BURRITY QUINTET AGAIN IN ACTION Popular Basketball Team to Play Preliminary at Arena After a year of inactivity, the Bur- ritt A, 'C. basketball team, which enjoyed a statewide reputation in 1925 and 1926, will again return to the chalked court this year. The players have high hopes of continu- ing their good work of previous years, Manager Clarence Lanpher of the New Britain team has‘com- pleted negotiations with the Bur- ritts and starting this Saturday, the fans will be treated to games be- tween the fastest semi-pro fives in the state preliminary to the big con- tests. The team will be Ken Sanuders who is planping a busy seuson. Last year the Burritts were able to play only eight games because of the lack of a suitable playing surface. Saunders will have one of the strongest lineups possible, composed mostly of Industrial league stars. “Al" Havlick, former high school forward and a member of the Faf- nir five, will appear at one forward. “Andy" Yakubowicz, forward on the Corbin Screw team which captured the Industrial league championship last year and the second highest scorer in the circuit, will cover the other forward position. Fred Saun- ders, last year's captain of the New Britain High school quintet and at present center on the Corbin Screw team, will pair up at center with the veteran “‘Joe” Luty, whose steady playing helped the Screw Shop team to capture the title last year. “Hank” Arbour and “Hammy” Darrow, star guards on the Corbin Screw team, who are known for their good work hoth on the de- fensive and the offensive, will take care of the guard positions. Their steady playing carried the Corbin Screw team to many victories last year. ‘“Red” Matulis, one of the best guards ever to appear in the uniform of the high school and a member of the Fafnir team, will be ready for work at a guard position The Burritts will also have an im- posing lineup of substitutes whose names will be announced later. In 66 games, the Burritts have won 5 8games, a truly remarkable record. In 1926, the team breezed through the state’s best teams and captured the state title. Inter-city clashes with Hartford teams will be the feature of the Burritts' sched- ule this year. “Hank” Arbour will captain the team during the coming season. DAVE TROTTIER SIGNS WITH MONTREAL MAROONS One of Greatest Amateur Hockey Players in Canada Signs As & Professional Montreal, Que., 29 (M—Dave Trot- ter, one of Canada's greatest ama- teur hockey players, has signed with the Montreal Maroons of the Na- tional Professional Hockey league. He will leave tomorrow night with the team for Detroit where he is to play his first professional hockey against the Detroit Cougars, Rights to Trotter were secured by the Maroons by payment of approxi- mately $15,000 to the Toronto Maple Leafs who claimed his services, should he turn pro. Through a “gentleman's agreement” prevailing in the National league. In addition an unnamed player is to be turned over to the Leafs by the Maroons at the close of the present season. Trotter's salary was not announced but it is known he turned down an offer made by Toronto, of season on a three-year cont a $5.000 bonus for.signing. managed by ct and LIGHT WORKOUT TODAY New York, Nov. 28 (U'P)—A light workout at Baker Field this after- noon will end Columbia’s prepara- Syracuse. The last heavy drill was held yesterday afternoon when Coach Charles Crowlcy indicated he was satisfied with the condition of his men. N 3|l Light Luncheons~ 00 al P2 With the stage all set, the fifth annual battle between the regular high school football team and an eleven recruited from among the members of the alumni will take place tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park. Manager Fred Gennette of the alumni combination has announced the lineup that will start the game, Gordon and *“Toots" Politis will be at the ends; Beloin and J. 8cully will be at the tackes; Bruce and Reckert will serve as guardes and R. Scully will be center. Gennette will direct the team from quarterback with Al IFengler and “Red” Matulis at the halves and Claire at fullback. The High schoon will use the reg- ular lineup in the game. This will be practically the same team as de- feated Hartford High in the memor. able gamne played at Bulkeley Sta- dium in Hartford last S8aturday. The team is in fine condition and an ex- cellent battle is anticipated. A review of the records shows that each team has won one game, the high school taking the first battle and the alumni the second. The other two games resulted in ties so that, instead of as first figured. the teams are tied In the number of games won and lost. Tomorrow's contest will decide the issue. The advance sale of tickets is sur- prisingly large showing that greater interest than ever is being takenin the contest between the students and the grads. Coach George M. Cassidy has given his approval of the con- test and will be on hand to direcs his team, if he can arrange his per- sonal business to allow him to do so. Plenty of excitement is expected when the clevens clash and a clean cut game will be played. An added feature to the contest is the opportun‘ty again presented to New Britain fans to see two for- mer high school stars and of more recent years mainstays of the Ford- ham University football team in ae- tion. With the professional footban situation at the best uncertain as to whether any more games will be played, many will be out to see the game tomorrow. The high school eleven has been working out faithfuly since the Hartford game in anticipation of & win over the alumni team. Despite the presence of college stars in the lineup, the regulars are confident of a win. All members of the alumni team are asked to report at the fleld at 9:30 o'clock in order that a final workout may he had before the game gets underway.
