BRIDGEPORT GAME IS IN THE WORKS
All New Britains Seeking Home and Home Series

Negotiations are under way for a home and home series between the All-New Britain and Bridgeport football elevens. The local manage ment has come forth with a propo- sition to Michael W. Healey, Park City sporting mogul, to hiring his worthies here on November 16, for game at Memorial Field, and in return the All-New Britains will travel to Bridgeport on November 30. Should the plans mature favor ably, the Bridgeport eleven will make its first appearance on local gridiron. The rivalry. or enmity ex- isting between the teams is keen. Two years ago both teams downed the other. the -Bridgeports swamping the locals 15-0 at New field park while the All-New Brit aims came out on top in a battle at Hanover park. Meriden. 60. Last season the teams again battled at Hanover park, neither side scoring. Then came that mixup at Bridgeport, which has not tended to mellow the feelings.
 Coach Dave Dunn had his charges out for practice last night at St, Mary's field. The squad was put through the defensive paces, which are expected to thwart the celebrated Notre Dame offense of the West Sides.

JOCK MALONE BEATEN
 BY MICKEY WALKER
Walker Wins Bout By Wide Margin Though He Goes Out of
 Division.

Newark, N. J., Oct. 30.- Mickey Walker, of Elizabeth, N. J., worlds welterweight champion stepped out of his class and outpointed Jock Malone, St. Paul middleweight in a 12-round match at Newark armory last night.
 The bout was no-decision affair, but the concensus of opinion of newspapermen at the ringside gave Walker a wide margin. The welter- weight champion was the aggressor throughout, but could not knock out the clever St. Paul boxer.
 Walker fought an aggressive fight, using both hands with terrific speed but at times his judgment of dis tance was poor and his timing was bad. Malone fought purely a de- fensive fight, allowing Walker to do the leading and boxing his way out of the situation when it became too torrid for him.
 In the fifth round it appeared that Malone was going to be knocked out as the result of right hand smash to his jaw which tioored him and slmost knocked him through the ropes. Malone got mp immediately and forced the champion into a clinch.
 In beating Malone. Walker went out of his class, The St. Paul boy is legitimate middleweight, having five pounds on the welterweight king last night. Walker weighed 147, the limit of his division. while Malone scaled 152.

SPEED WILL BE
 PIRATES MOTTO New Players Mill Add Even
 More Pep to Outfit

New York, Oct. so.--speed will be a dominating factor in the pen nant drive of the Pittsburgh Pirates next season.
 Already by far the fastest club in the senior circuit, the acquisition of George Grantham from the Chicago Cubs has given the Buccaneers a monopoly on speed, factor in which Manager Bill McKechnie ap- parently is taking leaf from the lesson books of such masters as Con- nie Mack and John McGraw.
 With Grantham in the lineup, the 1925 Pirates will boast pcobably the four most proficient base -stealers in the National league, Max Carey, who, like Eddie Collins. scms to gather speed with age, led tie Heyd- Ter organization last season with 47 thefts, while the young outheld re- cruit, Hazen Cuyler, was neS with S2. Pie Traynor stole A and erant- ham 21. The former Cub haa,dem- onstrated he can do better than this, however. for he. stole 43 bass in 1923. ranking second to Carey, who led with 51.
 Besides this quartet McKechie has other speed merchants in Edfe Moore and Glenn Wright, 1914 rookie sensations, and Carson Biz bee, outfieder. f
 The Pirates supplanted Chicago as the most prolific base stealing clun last season. They recorded E1SO thefts. 47 more than the Cubs, who were next in line.
 As~proof Of the speed of the quar- tet which will lead the 1925 Pirate march. the 1924 figures show that collectively they stole only nine bases less than the whole Cub team and exceeded the mark of every other outfit in the league.

Adopt Resolutions praiSins His
 Ability and Manhood

Columbus. O., Oct. 30.-Percy D. Haughton. Columbia and former Harvard football coach, Who died suddenly Tuesday in New York, was characterized as "a truly great football coach." in resolutions drawn on behalf of the American Football Coaches association of which he was a member.
 The resolutions were made public here last night by Dr. J. w. Wilce, Ohio State university football di- rector, who is secretary of the as sociation.
 The resolution said:
 Whereas, Percy D. Haushton, a truly great football coach, has been taken from the field of play" in the midst of his active work at Colum- bia university, and
 Whereas, the memLers of the American Football Coaches asso- citation convention have long recog- n!zed in his outstanding qualities, abilities and real achievement in the practical and theoretical football world and in the leadership of young men,
 Therefore, be it resolved that this association of football co-workers through it's officials and trustees ex- press it's own deepest sorrow in his passing and it's deepest sympathy to his family and Columbia university at this time.
 The resolution was signed by John ", Heisman, Robert C. Xuppke, E. c. HendersoR K. K. Rocknc, Gn- more Dobie, V. Cowell, D. X. Bible and .Dr. Wilce.

sational comeback. ", ~
 At the close 'of the world series Connie Mack of the Athletics broke Into print in big headlines with the announcement that he had pur- chased Pitcher Groves of Baltimore for a trifle more than s100,00O and a few German marks.
 In Groves, Mack gets the minor league pitching sensation of the last two years. Every major league club has been angling for his sery- ices. Big figures have been offered Jack Dunn for his prize left handler. / Evidently Connie Mack must have made a flattering proposition to the Baltimore magnate. ..
 Groves has had two phenomenal years at Baltimore. His great work figured largely in the winning of the last two pennants.
 Groves, Strike Out King
 He is the strike out king of the league. In 1923 he established rec- oM for the International by whiting I330 mon in 303 innings, an average of better than one an inning. Some pitching, believe me.
 Groves greatest fault is his wild ess. It may be bigger handicap than ever in the majors, where a pitcher inclined to be wild"is waited out much more than in the minors
 If Groves is 75 per cent efficient for Mack, he will have repaid Connie for the generous money outlay Should Grove prove consistent winner, beware for Athletics.

 However, in these days of the live ly ball the nothing pitcher" is quite successful. \
 Soutbpaws Jolt Giants
 No one would ever accuse South paws Zachary and Mogridge of Washington of having the stuff of "Rube" Waddell, yet they stood the Giants on their heads in the recent world series, after Walter Johnson, with world Of stuff, had failed.
 The supremacy of the southpaw in pitching circles has caused the major league magnates to comb the country for likely material.
 Just as the season closed Wash ington announced that it had pur- chased the veteran Vean Gregg from Seattle of the Pacific Coast league.
 Then years ago Gregg was one of the outstanding pitchers in the ma jors. In sheer ability he is one of the few southpaws I have ever um- pired who compared with the fam out Rube Waddell.

ARlMH-XALE CLASH LS 24TH
 MEETING OF TWO OUTFITS
Columbia Plays Cornell as the Other Big Eastern Game This Weekend.
By Tho Associated Press.

New York, Oct. 30.-When the elevens of Yale and the Army meet inNthe Yale Bowl Saturday 1t will be the 94th meeting of these two rivals In a series which started in 1893. Of the 2S games played. the Els hold an impressive lead, having emerged victorious in IS, while the Army has won only three. Five had ended in ties.
 The two teams have met annually since 1893 except for a period of eight years between 1912 and 1921, when relations were severed. In the entire series the Yale eleven has scored 2S2 points 10 but Ss for the Service team. The last Army victory was won in 1911 when the Cadets won by a score of to 0.
 Columbia ys. Cornell
 Another game sharing the spot light on Saturday will be Columbias meeting with Cornell at Ithaca. For the first time since football was re- stored to the athletic curriculum at Columbia the athletes of the late Percy D. Haughton will travel to Ithaca as at least an even money bet.
 Fhe eyes of the country will be on the Columbia eleven during this game. Random is watching with breathless interest how the Colum- hia eleven will perform in the face of the loss of their beloved coach, Percy D. Haughton.
 Cornell's twin defeats at the hands of Williams and Rutgers had relegated the Dobie machine to a low rating in the college world. Col umbia's victory over Williams by an impressive 27 to 3 score should make Columbia the favorite over Cornell considering that the Ithacans lost to Williams, 14 to z. But Cornell Is always dangerous and with Colum- bia working under the handicap of having its leader swept from his place by death, the outcome of the game is problematical now.
 The football teams of Harvard, Yale and Columbia will remain idle today while funeral services of Haughton are being held in Boston. Columbia will leave tonight for Ith- aca following services for the dead coach at the university chapel.
 Chicago vs. Purdue
 New plays.ecalling for intricate shifts and double passes have form ed Chicago's drills for Purdue this week and for Illinois here November s, Bob Curley, whose timely drop kick in last weeks game with Ohio State tied the Buckeyes, is being conserved for the contest next week. The Purdue boilermakers are taper ing their rehearsals and leave to- morrow morning for Chicago.
 Ohio's Next Game
 Coach Wilce at Ohio State is con- cerDed with his teams attack. While Saturdays game with Wooster is re- garded as a rest for the Buckeyes, future clashes with Indiana, Michi- gan and Illinois are being kept in mind.
 Notre Dame Ready
 Coach knute Rockne of Notre Dame, is developing powerful run ming attack, combined with an over- head offense and line plunging as a reception for Georgia Tech, which Is en route to South Bend.
 While the absence of Walsh and stuhldreher is felt, number of ca- pable substitutes are available.
