 A southern stonewall from Nir- ginia Poly will try to break the smashing attack of Dartmouth, that has rolled over Norwich and Ho- bard for tremendous scores In the first two games of the season. The Green wave piled up 50 points against the soldiers from Vermont and 50 against Hobart. The same power and brilliance that surround ed "Swede" OberlanGer and his mates last year is surging again through the New Hampshire hills.
 Both the Army and Navy are pointing this week for intersectional rivals. The Middies, resting today after q bruiaing r to IS victory over Purdue, of the Western Con- Terence, have Drake on their minds, while the West Pointers, with an easy victory over Detroit tucked in the win column, can devote atten- tion to preparation for Davis -Elkins.
 New York University, survivor of q gruelling test against Alleghany, IS to Q. has another stiff workout just a few days away in West Nir- ginia Wesleyan. Brown, as yet un- tried by serious competition, will find the nettle of new coaching system tested to the utmost in the coming conflict with Lehigh, twice defeated so far, but still offering great possibilities.
 Cornell is getting ready 10 re- ceivs Williams, a more subdued eleven than the type that wrecked havoc with former Red teams. Pittsburgh, just over a $ to 6 match with Georgetown. will find Lafay- cite primed for a real struggle. Co., lumbia is drilling this week to meet the Wesleyan threat.

 The steeple was under surveillance last year shortly after the North & Judd factory disaster had centered the building departments attentions on several alleged dangerous condi- tions in construction. An engineers report showed the steeple, which is at the corner of Main and Church streets, is leaning, but further study indicated that the condition had been extended over a period of years. and apparently has not been great ly aggravated in recent years. Nota- tiops were made on conditions found in the first inspection and they will be compared with the new report.

URGES CITY TO SHOW
 ARMIS7|CE DAY SPIRIT
Legion Commander Wants Flags Flown and Crowd
 at Banquet

Citywide observance of Armistice Day and display of flags from homes and business houses is urged in orders for the day issued today by Commander Arthur H. Petts of the American Legion.
 Attendance at the civic banquet In the state armory Is also advocated. This departure from the customary arrangements of Armistice day cele- bration Is considered more appropri- ate in Legion circles. Commander Petts writes.
 His statement, addressed to all Legionnaires and the critizens of New Britain, reads:
 With all thankfullness we look back to that Armistice Day which ended the World War. We remem- Der how gladly men stood erect in the sun once more and let their fires shine out at night without conceal ment, how the load of anxiety fell in a moment from a world of wom- ems hearts. how war-torn world turned back to peace with profound gratitude to the God who gave it and to the men who paid for it with their lives. In some way we lost as well as gained, on that Armistice Day.
 While Armistice Day Is an oc- casion of thanksgiving for victory. we must also honor the memory of those who gave their lives in the service of our country.
 Ut Is urgently requested that the merchants and citizens generally, will display the flag Of our country full staff all day November the eleventh.
 "The Eddy Glover Post Is spon- soring the civic banquet which has been arranged in the observance of Armistice Day. to be held at the State Armory at 7 o'clock November the eleventh. This is a departure from the usual observance of parade, bonfire and dance, and Is more in the keeping of the spirit of the day. It is urged as Legionnaires and citizens, that you attend this af- fair in honor of those who made the supreme sacrifice. and in gratitude for the victory that was won.
 Attest,
 William H. Turner, adjutant.
