COMMUNICATED
Manager of Rangers A. c. Football Team Explains Tanglc Over Mcnl- orial Field For Sunday.

Dear Editor:-
 With regard to the Ranger Fal- con football game scheduled for Sunday, November 22, I would like the public to know just what the real facts in the case are. l, as manager of the Ranger A. C. football team secured permission from Ralph Wainright. park com missioner, to use Mem orial Field in Willow Brook park after Manager Edward J. Daley of the All-New Britain football team had notified Mir Wainright that the team would not use the fled any more this year. Acting on this assurance from the commissioner. Manager Angie Sata- | line of the Falcons club and pro- Iceeded to get posters about the game Irrinted and circulated throughout the city and on the cars of the Con- lncCticut Co., We also contracted for rain insurance to protect us in the iplaying of the game.
 Tuesday morning, Manager Daley notified Mir. Wainright that he wanted the field for Sunday, Novcm- Iber @2, as his game out-of-town had been cancelled. MT, Daley told Mir. l WainriGht that he would try to ar IranEe for the Falcon Ranger con Itost 10 be played preliminary to the All-New Britain game as he stated
 in Tuesday nights New Britain Her ald
 The proposition he offered to mo
 was as follows: "The Falcons and i the Rangers to play a preliminary game for which they would receive
 nothing or postpone vour game for
 a week because All-Ncw Britain is
 going 10 play whether you have the 1 field or not"
 1 II would appear as If Memorial i Field is the personal property of inc : All-New Britain club and not a pub i lie park. The Rangers had the field engaged one week ahead and had it taken away from them to satisfy the ! lAN-Ncw Britain manaroment whose game had been cancelled in the
 meantime. By doing this. the All 1 New Britain officials have attempted
 10 stop two local teams whose line
 ms contain the names of New Brit
 ain men only, from playing in this
 citv
 l Later. 'he guarantee offered hs 1 Manager Dailev was considered toe
 small for a championship match.
 Tn spite of this, the Rangers will
 rIay fh" All-Plainvillc team Sunday
 afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in Plain
 vile. The coach wishes 10 have all
 the players present at practice to-
 night at 7;20 o'clock at SotoI hall.

'SLIM ATTENDANCE
 MAY KILL BOXING
Lack of Interest at Bouts Dis'
 couraeS Crescent A. C.

It is doubtful if there will be anna teur bouts in New Britain for some item to come, the attendance at last nights show at Odd Fellows hall on Arch street. seeming to indicate there Is not sufficient interest in this city to warrant the outlay necessary for boxing bouts.
 This is the third amateur show held here. The first two apepared to have house large enough to af- ford slight profit, while last nights was to all appearances q financial failure.
 Jimmie Clinch, New Britains leading amateur, added Tony Weed of New Haven to his long string of wins. Tony was substituting for Robbie Pease who suffered a broken thumb Tuesday. Weed has already a decision over Pease and has been consistent winner, taking most of his bouts by knockouts. His prog ress was halted by Clinch last night who took the entire three rounds by big margins, sprawling Tony three times. Clinch appears to be absorb ing the ring technique, being drilled into him by Jack Fitzgerald and every bout shows marked inl- provement in form. His punch seems to be a more stinging one and his defense also Is improving, Johnnie Bcrando was well along the route to win when r. he fouled Martin Dorsey of Meriden in the first round Of the opening bout, Dorsey won on the foul.
 Bob Riccio of New Haven trim med Frank Kudlow of Meriden in four rounds; Sebastian Gullo of Meriden, knocked out Joe Grimes of this city in the second round; Harry Meyers of New Haven and Joe Ship man of Hartford fought two rounds, Shipman taking the'count in the second; George Monteith and Nick ITlorentino went three rounds and Tlorentino was adjudged the winner: Barney Googliooseman of Hartford, lost to Joe Colock uf Meriden in | four rounds; Walter Burrell of this city and Charles Recca of New Ha- ven went four rounds with Rocca selected by the judges as the leader on points.

FINISH FIGHT IN
 STADIUM SATURDAY
Yale and Harvard Ready.-Other
 Big Games in East

New York, Nov. 20 R,-Harvard and Yale football elevens. both beaten by Princeton. arc prepared for a finish battle in Harvard sta dium tomorrow before a capacity throng which will include their Tiger conquerors
 Injuries affect both the old rivals about equally in their annual strug- gle, which features tho eastern games of the day despite the fact that Harvard has fallen before Holy Cross. Dartmouth and Princeton and Yale before Pennsylvania and Princeton.
 Jake Stafford, the quarterback who piloted Harvard to a to vic tory over Brown a week ago, ending a string of defeats, is expected to remain on the sidelines throughout the contest, having reported this week on crutches, Jack Maher of the backfeld and George Hoague, guard, are in poor condition. Yale's Quarterback l Bunnell, Yale quarterback, an ex- ceptionally good receiver of punts, may have to give way to the speedy Fishwick, while Cottle and Allen of the backheld are still suffering from injuries. Yale hopes are bolstered, however, by the return to the right side of the line of Ben Butterworth.
 Two other clashes stand out in the waning season, that of Fordham and Georgetown at New York for the Catholic college championship and that of Lafayette and Lehigh at Easton, Pa. No titles will be at stake in the latter test, but 1t is ex- pected 10 be one of the bitterest en- agreements of the year. Captain Gebhardt will be out of the Lafay- ette lineup.
 Fordham and Georgetown should produce a thrilling fight for there Is immense power in both backfields and the Georgetown line is one of the heaviest in the east. With the 225-pound Connaughton, at a tackle position. Undefeated Fordham will show a remarkable plunger, passer and kicker in Captain Manning; a fleet ball kicker exceptional drop kicker and heady pilot in Graham and brilliant end in Leary.
 Georgetown has a powerful full. back in Plansky, former national de- cathlon champion, and an excep- tional open field performer in Half gerty.
 Richards and Lawrence of the Brown backfield have been bumped about in scrimmage and probably will not face New Hampshire this week but will be ready for the Col gate game Thanksgiving day Syra- cuse has shifted Foley from quar- terback to half against Niagara and Cook will call the signals. Colum- bia and Army are in good shape for Alfred and Ursinus respectively. These are preparatory to major con- tests on the holiday.
 Newman M. Horton, fullback, has been elected captain of the Dart mouth football team for 1926.

LEFT TO RIGHT: R. PARKS, H. KERSENBROCK, A. ALF.
 One fall after Nebraska University had upset the dope by defeating the supposedly invnciblo Notre Dame eleven, Coach Knute Rockne re- marked
 They raise great football players in Nebraska. They have to have special doors, all at least seven feet long, in the gymnasium, so the foot ball squad can enter without stoop- ing"
 There's a lot of truth in what Rackne said. The University of Nebraska squad Is always imposing. But they boast husky athletes else where than Lincoln in that state.
 Doane College lays claim to hav- ing the tallest football player in cap tivity in Harry Kersenbrock. He's only six feet II inches in his stock ing feet.
 In handling forward passes Ker- senbrock is a wonder. Rival teams insist the football rules should per init the use of step ladders when playing against him.
