Lacayia, New Recruit, Shows Up We'll in Locals Backfeld-Huber, Gourson Bennett and
 Hennessey Likely to Get Chance

Coach Cassidy, who has recovered from his recent illness, put his N. B. H. s. squad through a tough scrimmage last night, prior to the big game with Meriden Saturday afternoon at the Willow Brook park. Meriden averages hundred and sixty pounds and has been going at a great clip this season. They de- feated the eleven of the Pennington high school 57-0 and if they show the same form against New Britain a battle royal is bound to be the re- suit.
 Several new high school plays were tried out last night which may be used in critical positions. If they have one-half the gaining pow CT against Meriden which they had against the plucky second team lads New Britain's chances of victory are quite probable.
 Huber and Lacava were in the first team backfeld alternating in Pat O'Brien's position as he had a sprained ankle and was unable to be in uniform. Coach Cassidy regards Lacava as promising backfield ma terial. This is his first season with

WESLEYAN READY TO
 TACKLE ROCHESTER
Cardinal and Black Will Give New Players Chance in Saturdays
 Game.

MiddIetoWn, Oct 3-The Wesleyan University football team had a hard work out on Andrus Field yesterday afternoon in preparation for the Rochester University game which will be held at Mddlctown next Saturday afternoon. Special cmphas- is was placed on kicking this after noon, and the team ran doyn under punts. Lyman and Howard who have been doing most of the punt ing for the Cardinal and Black this year showed excellent form, and put several kicks well over fifty yards After the practice in fundamentals a sCrimmage was held between the first team and the freshmen squad who gave them little opposition. However, despite the fact that the varsity made repeated gains through the line and scored several times, the freshmen showed to good ad- vantage for their first real test of strength.
 The team which Coach J. r. Mar tin will send against Rochester on Saturday will be practically the same team that defeated Union last week Several shifts will, however, be made. In the backfeld, Riday who has been out of the game for the past week with a sprained hip, will be given chance together with Niyling who has been showing up 10 advantage during practive this past week. It is also possible that Coach Martin will make a shift in the line chinging Studwell from guard 10 tackle and also put Hop kins, new man who has beein do- irg good work in practice, in the line. Holden who played at tackle against Union wrenched his knee in practice yesterday, and there is a possibility that he will be out of the game this week. On the whole the team is in the best possible condi- ton, and should make a good show ing against Rochester on Saturday.

Senators to Use Same Lineup But New York May Shift Players Ticket Spectators Doing Big Business.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, Oct. S.-Members of the Washington Senators and New York Giants, ignoring to all outward appearance the cloud Of scandal that has been thrust over the scene, today geared their machines for the open- ing worlds series game tomorrow before probably the most notable gathering that has ever witnessed baseballs blue ribbon event.

 Walter Johnson, idol of Washing ton fandom who shares with his young manager. "Bucky" Harris, the heroic roles in Washingtop's tri- umph, will pitch the opening game and attempt to gain the crown of glory he has been seeking for eight cen seasons. Opposed to him prob- ably will be Hughie McQuillan, right handed ace of the Giant hurl- ing corps, although Manager John McGraw may switch to his south paw sharp shooter, Art Nehf.
 Giants Lineup.
 Washington will start it's fight for the championship with the same lineup that carried the club to the American league top. With John son opposed to them, the Giants are expected to the field with Terry youngster and lefthanded batter, on first, Kelly, regular first sacker, in centerfield, and Jack Wilson, anoth- CT newcomer, in left field in place of Irish Meusel Captain Frank Frisch's finger has recovered suf- ficiently to assure his return to the keystone post, but Heinie Groh, reg ular third baseman, still is hobbling around on a cane as a result of twisted knee, and Freddy Lindstrom, IS year old school boy. will open the series at the hot corner.
 Except that Frisch will be back, this makeup of the Giant machine corresponds with that figured in the clubs winning dash for the pennant in the closing days of the campaign.
 Meanwhile, President Coolidge was said to have protected wind up for the throw-out that will set the series in motion, while Wash ington official committee prepared to take part in the spectacle among the 37,O0O ticket-holders, who rep resent but lucky minority of the tens of thousands that have sought in vain to obtain the coveted paste boards.
 Despite the efforts of revenue men federal and local authorities, ticket spectators overnight continued to do a fIourishing business. Three game ticket strips were sold in some cases for $50. as compared with the face value of s16.5O, while single game pasteboards for the opening went as high as $20 and S25, de- pending on location.
