HEYDLER DEFENDS NATIONAL LEAGUE “Dates Bamart's Ol Junion ¢ Major Circuit I Stronger New York, Oct. 25 (A—Coming “¥o the defense of the National “league, John A. Heydler, its presi- “dent, has issued a statement deny- ipg that the American league is 20 .per cent stronger, an estimate of comparative strength made by Er- Ifest S. Bernard, president of the ~American league. = + Mr. Heydler is convinced, he said, “that there is little or no difference in the playing abllity of the two .circuits as a whole, in spite of a decided superlority shown by the "American league in the last three ~world's series. * The National league president ‘daid also that he finds himself out _of accord with President Barnard's «gtatement that the junior league jas been bringing in better players. : Quotes 22-Year Record - know full well that the loss of =12 out of 13 games in the last three “world's series is bound to give rise .10 the talk of all around American league superiority,” said Mr. Heyd- ler. “but impartial students of the ~game know there is no material difference in the playing strength ‘df the two leagues. . “The 22-year record of the series | as conducted under organized base- “ball rules from 1905 to now shows _that the Americans won 12 and we iwon 10; that of 133 games played “the Americans won 66 and the Na- tionals 64 and three were tled.

CASSIDY H. 3. BACKFIELD IS AGAIN INTACT Team Confidently Faces Hill- A general air of confidence that the New Britain high school foot- ball team will conquer the Ne Haven Hillhouse team is felt throughout the camp of Red and Gold fans today as the team plays one of its most important games against the New Haven Hillhouse high eleven, Every one of the seven backfield men is ready for the game this after- noon. The four who will start are Bllly Ross, quarterback; Richie Fink and Al Middleton, halfbacks; | and Herby Carlson, fullback. The | other three are Frank Zaleski, quar- | terback; Ed Kloiber, halfback | and fullback; and Andy Wesoly, | halfback. Last week Ross limped with a | “charley horse” injury, Zaleski had an ankle injury, Carlson suffered a leg injury during the game, Fink had such a bad knee injury that he had to stay out of the game, Andy Wesoly had a leg injury and was used only a short time, and Ed Kloi- ber was ineligible to play. Fortu- nately the New Britain team held .‘\'urwlch Free academy to a 12 to 12 ie. Ross Responds to Treatment This week the injured players are all in A-1 condition, Ross underwent | avecial treatment and he feels no ill effects from his injuries. The others were aided by a week of light work- | outs. Kloiber studied hard during | the week and had the pleasure of | | seeing his name on the eligible lost, John Dumin, who was slated for ! a regular center position until he was injured, is also unable to play | because of scholastic problemw He left achool for a time last spring and he has to abide by the 14 week rule | in order that he may retwrn to the regular team. 1In the meantime Vitty Grimala is playing a mighty | | fine game at center. | Coach Cassidy ning on sald he was plan- house Today in New Haven |- dogs in Tomorrow’s Big Games New York, awaits Oct most 25 the end of the season three important oldest representatives battled on their home ful October Saturday in the history Yale, Harvard, or Princeton to en- underdog, but it is seldom that all three of the clect are found on the run together. Some 120,000 enthusiasts will be present at Soldiers' field, the Yale bowl and Palmer stadium tomorrow. The Yale-Army game at New Haven |tops the card for sectional and gen- eral interest, but the meeting of Dartmouth and Harvard at Cam- bridge will command attention both because of its historic background and because the Crimson will be fighting to keep its head above wa- ter, the last remaining undefeated member of the Big Three. The Princeton-Navy game in Pal- mer stadium carries a particular appeal to alumni of both institu- tions, as does the Dartmouth-Har- vard clash in the more northern salient. A twice-defeated Orange and Black eleven faces its last chance to save something from its eastern preliminary season, but all the odds rest with Bill Ingram's fine team. Yale Prospects Poor The Elis will deploy against the Cadets in the bowl with the slash- ing Warner offense only half mas- tered and depending upon an attack to turn in a possible upset. With Cagle as a threat at the flanks and through the air, with Murrell end pounding into the Eli mid- the Cadets may look to the game with something approaching complacency. Even with Ben Ticknor absent from his post at center, Haryard will present a favored Dartmouth eleven far more of a problem than Colum- bia was able to offer last week. Re- ports that the flashy Marsters is not in the best of physical condition leads Cambridge to hope that the Crimson may yet save the day. “Scotch” Meet “Irish'* Outside the Big Three, Carnegie Tech will attempt to make it three straight over a great Notre Dame eleven at Pittsburgh, with the Irish favpred to break their Scotch finx. The feeling is growing that this Notre Dame team has yet to display its full power. The historic Little Three series will open at Amherst, with the fine Lord Jeff eleven sgaln favored ' to trlumph over Wesleyan. The re- maining member of the alliance, Williams, will risk, and probably lose, its undefeated status in a game against Columbia in this city. Cornell has an open date, and Pennsylvania expects no more than workout against Lehigh. Syracuse invades Providence favored to win from Brown. In addition to the Columbia-Wil- liams fray, New York will have New York university against Butler of Indiana and Fordham Davis and Elkins. Colgate, Pittsburgh town face breathing Rutgers may have trouble with Catholic and the clash of Penn State and Lafayette seems to be either's game. Holy Cross faces a test in Marquette from Milwaukee, and Duke's Blue Devils may extend Villanova. Washington and Jeffer- son has no easy afternoon ahead with Temple.

It was this new spirit—a zest to | win which long has been foreign to the Crimson—that enabled Coach Arnold Horween's charges to come from behind against Army last Sat- urday and deadlock the score with a 49-yard forward pass. Horween, who should know his team better than grandstand observ- ers, attributes what he sternly— after the manner of coaches—re- fused to consider a “good showling, to the spirit of the team. Express- ing dissatisfaction with the line, he sald “the best thing about the team is its spirit."” Acrial Attack Formidable While Harvard supporters have | enthusiastically applauded the Crim- son's aerial attack this season, Hor- ween, in an interview today, b |littled his team’s accomplishments | in this department. He thought the air game was “comparatively good,"” but pointed out that in past years “we've never had one that's been any good.” This year's forward passes materlalize from a formation which had the Cadet thoroughly bewildered day. Asked if Harvard would attempt | the same aerial attack against Dart- mouth tomorrow which has been so uniformly successful against weak- er teams this s on, Horween said: wingbacks last Satur- “We will if we can.

That is the story of Roy Riegels, captain and star center of the Uni- versity of California football team, who committed the most celebrated football “boner” since our firsy an- cestors tossed forward passes with regulation cocoanuts. On last New Year's Day, in most important inter-sectional game between Georgia Tech and California, Riegels pulled one that cost his team a victory and made him a national goat.

The scorc on the first occasion was 13 to 0 in New Britain’s favor. New Haven threatened on several oc- casions and in the last quarter the Nutmeg team was on the dofense for the greater part of the time. Twvo things which should serve to make the game an even bet are the facts that New Britain linemen and backs are on the injured list and that the Elm City team has been strengthened by the addition of new material in several of the position “"he Nutmeg hospital list include Buslley, Grip, Beloin, Gallagher and Humphrey. alifornia linesman. It was Roy Riegels. He scooped up the oval and started his never to b forgotten run. But in the direction of his own geal post Dazed by the impart of the play, young Riegels lost his bearings. The thoughts of bringing single-handed vietiry to his team must have been running through his mind. Only by a great burst of speed did Bennle Lom, a California back, catch up to tackle him and avert the disaster. Is it happened, the play gave Georgla Tech the chance to win the game. Riegel's mortification and disgust must have been colossal. But he offered no excuses and shouldered the blame in silence. The blunder was broadcast throughout the coun- try. Rliegels became a marked man. | Fights Back Today Roy Riegels, by his great fight back from ignominy, has made of himself a hero. He is captain of | the team and his play in the early games of this season has been of the highest efficlency. There are plenty of cheers for Riegels.

(UP) | PRACTICE STARTED BY SOUTH CHURCH Session—Road Games Planned Eleven men put in an appearance at the first workout of the South Congregational church basketball squad last evening at the Boys’ club, and it is expected that the three- |time County “Y" champions will be represented on the court by a very strong team again this season. Clifford Bell, last year's captain; Ted W regular center; Henry Rockwell, who starred in every position, and Kermet Parker, regu- lar guard, were on hand and gave the team four veterans from last year upon which to build. Otto Rarta, another regular guard, is ex- pected to join the gquad next week, but the other backcourt man, How- ard May, has entered college and Wilton Morey, Bell's forward twin, is not likely to be seen in a South church uniform much this.season. Must Find New Vorward The filling of Morey's shoes pre- sents the major problem the team faces. Rockwell may get the call, while George “Yordy” Osborne, former South church player Wwho was not With the team last year, back again and is expected to mak a strong bid for the place.
