IOWA SENATORIAL
 FIGHT CONTINUES
Is Likely to Go Over Into
 Next Week

Washington, April 8 LPl -- The vigorous fight over the Iowa sena- toria contest threatened today to keep the senate engaged not only for the remainder of this week. but well into next week.
 With the debate in its fifth day and indications of a close decision multiplying, the hope of senate leaders for a vote before the end Of the week have considerably dimmed, although they have not abandoned their intention 10 make an effort to shut off discussion.
 Polls of the senate by various members have given no clear in. diCatlon Of the outcome. In one, q majority Of five was credited to Senator Brookhart, the insurgcnt republican whose right to the seat he now holds Is at issue. and in another, a majority of two was in- dicated for Daniel r. Stcck, his democratic opponent in the last election.
 Brookhart supporters, mean while, have openly expressed con. ccrn over rumors that White House influence was being excrted against him, but Senator Butler of Massa- Chusctts, chairman Of the republi- can national committee, and Sena- tor Curtis of Kansas, tho republi- can floor leader, have denied that

 followed publicity given the marital difficulties Of Mir. and Mrs. Eugene

 who subsequently, testified that the
 sheriff had furnished liquor to mcm-
 bers of the La Bar family. Mrs. Ia
 Bar was granted a divorce two days ago.
 Following an investigation con- ducted by the state police and fed
 eral authorities. petition was filed by Chief Arthur H. Field Of the

 ed that intoXication. bootlcgelne and
 gambling were common at the Ken

HIGH SCHOOL GAME
Followers of Local Team Hoping For Victory Over Troy Confer enCe Academy.

Followers of the New Britain high school football team are hop ing that the Troy Conference acad-' emy will follow the precedent set by three other preparatory schools during the early part of the New Britain high school season and re- turn home defeated.
 So far this season the Red and Gold team defeated Suffield Prepar- atory school, Norwich Free Acad- emy and this afternoon will see the last preparatory school team on the slate. Beginning next week three leading high school teams in the state will be on the New Britain schedule in succession.
 Much local interest is being mani fested in the visiting team since one of the players. Leonard Ninny) Schmidt. quarterback, is a local boy. 'Linny" played with the old Pirates in this city until last sum- mer when the team disbanded and rcorganized with a younger group. He is a clever basketball player and since he went to Troy Conference academy he has developed into a hard hitting backfold man. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schmidt of GAS East Main street.

(BY BILLY EEANS)

"Gct the Nayy's Goat"
 That was Michigan's slogan for weeks prior to the 1925 meeting between Coach Yosts warriors and the Mddies.
 Then the boys from Ann Arbor proceeded to do that, very thing in most convincing manner,
 Forward passes flung by the dcft Benny Friedman. a brilliant run ming attack by every member of the backfeld and unstoppable bucks by "Bo". Molenda, proved entirely too much for the Navy.
 Michigan ran up the surprisingly large total of 54 points, while the future admirals from the United States Naval Academy seldom threatened the Wolverines goal.
 It was one of the worst routs in the Navy's football history. While hardly hoping for victory, the Navy felt capable of holding Michi- gan to low score.
 Michigan was at the top of its game that day. The Wolverines could do no wrong. Friedmans passes were long and accurate and always some eligible Michigander was waiting to receive them. Later in the season when I dis cussed the terrible slaughter of the Navy with Coach Yost of Michigan 1, he remarked;
 | NO one for a minute feels that ! Michigan was 5i points better than the Navy, but that was our margin at the finish.
 "We were. aperhaps over our | head a bit while the Navy failed to play anywhere near it's form. Those things just happen.
 T still have in mind . beating Illinois handed us when Change ran wild. Illinois deserved to win that game but the score offcEcd no real ! line on the comparative strength of i the two elcvens.
 When Michigan plays return game at Baltimore on Oct. 30, the Navy will be forced 10 meet another ! great YoSt team. A majority of the 1 experts believe it is superior to the eleven that so soundly trounced the Middies last year.
 Michigan. on the other hand, will line up. against vastly improved | Navy eleven. It is conservative to say that the Middies are 30 per cent stronger than last season.
 That may not be enough to trim Nost's pupils, but you can take it from me the game will be far more interesting than the one-sided af- fair of last year.
 A much improved backfleld with the veteran Alan Shapley as the out standing star forms the basis of the | NaNy's hopes to make plenty of trouba for Michigan.

DARTMOUTH MEETS
 BROWN IN BATTLE
Four Regulars Of Green Team
 Out Today With Injuries

Hanover. x. H, Oct. 30 iP'-ln- 4urv and psychology seemed to be playing leading roles as Dartmouth and Brown met in their 2lst annual strugglc for football supremacy on Memorial Field today
 The pre-game lineup of the big Green. as given out by Coach Jesse Hawley showed four regulars grac- ing the bench through injuries Sus- tained in the Harvard and "a set backs of a week and two weeks ago. In the rival camp Coach MclauSnry was still doubtful as to whether he had successfully staved off q slack ening of morale in his charges loI- lowing the hysteria of a 7-u victory over Yale last Saturday.
 Despite Coach Uawieys gloomy statements on the physical conal- ton Of his men and his rivals worry over the temper of his players, hackers of both teams were coniI- dent of witnessing q typical Dart niouth-Erown Game-a hammer and tgnES dlldlE NIlH lllE i'Nh't i'' H''''- to the final gun.
 The worst blow to Dartmouth hopes was the locker room statement that Eddie Dooley. quarterback and handspring Of the Greens aerial at- tack. would not start the game be- cause of an injured hand. Harris was scheduled 10 call the eignals in his place. Gardner and Prescott ap- peared at left guard and left tackle respectively in place of the veteran Hardy Phillips combination, while the bad ankle that kept Captain Hooker Horton out of the Harvard game last week again will force him to yield to Black sophomore line plnnger.
 Brown will start the II iron men" who played the entire Yale game without substitution a week ago, and the final outcome, in Nc Laughrys opinion will depend on their ability to last.

HARTFORD BOUTS FORM GOOD CARD
George Mulligan to Promote All-
 Star Show on November 8

Hartfordss Oct. 3n - MatchUallor George Mulligan of the Connecticut A. c. has arranged a strong card to support the Harry Perason-Fat Mccarthy bout which will be staged Monday evening, November
 There will be 32 rounds, bringing into action heavywcights and light heavies in four-rounder. two clght-rounders and q 12-rounler the star bout being set down for that distance.
 In the semi-fnal of eight rounds George Lamson. Cherokee Indian from the Pacific coast, will mix with Earl Blue. known in the ring as Little Boy Blue"
 Lamson is, now makin. an inva- sion of the east and is meeting with success as he steps out against the heavies whom he must beat to earn rank among the leading heavy weights. Last Monday he fought in Philly And won the approval of Philadelphia scribes for his ring generalship and punching ability.
 Blue is well known in the east through his appearances at Madi- son Square Garden where Monday night he is slated to tangle with Yale Okum.
 He is in the stable. with Billy Petrolle. under the management of Jack Hurley. and one of his most enthusiastic packers is Pete Reilly, Jack Delaney's manager, who sees Blue as a conner and who only last week said he would like to hold the contract for the big boy from the west.
 The other eight-round bout. which is on the card as the second bout of the evening. brings to- gether Prince Tooma and Nick Fadil. They have met twice and each holds a decision. Both their battles have been stirring ring en- counters and Mulligan counts on this scrap for one of the high lights of the program.
 The show will open with a four round tilt between Joe Smith, Hartford's amateur kayo king, who will turn pro'on this occasion, and George McRae. dusky light heavy from Springfield.
 This show will inaugurate the indoor season in Hartford, Mulligan planning a. busy fall and winter program for fight fans of Hartford and the state.

New York. Oct 30 tP-Record- smashing throngs surged toward eastern stadiums today as national championship aspirations of power ful elevens entered the crucible Of crucial gridiron conflict.
 Thousands besieged the New Ha- ven ticket office in vain effort to obtain pasteboards for the classic struggle between Yale and Army. Rigid city ordinances drove to cov- CT spectators who were asking s2O for their tickets.
 There were indications of a ca pacity throng of 55.000 at the Polo Grounds for the Cornell-Columbia struggle, by far the largest crowd ever to look upon a clash Of the ancient rivals. while 10000 was the estimated attendance in Yankee sta- dium for the annual battle between New York university and Fordham
 Record demands for tickets also developed at Annapolis for the Michigan-Navy conflict, and for the Iafayette- e-Washington and Jefferson clash at Philadelphia.
 Two intersectional struggles stood out among the major testing games, with powerful Michigan sweeping into the east to face a grim Navy eleven and undefeated Pennsylvania invading the midwest to try the magic of it's hidden ball attack on Illinois. Results of both contests were expected to go far In deter mining the question of national su- premacy.
 Army's push against Yale also drew interest as having important bearing on the title drive, for later in the season the future generals will be pitted against Knute Rock ne's flying Notre Dame machine,
 Early forecasts of today's results found critics divided on the Yale Army, Washington and Jefferson Lafayette games, while Brown was favored over Dartmouth, Michigan over Navy, Cornell over Columbia N. Y. U. over Fordham, Pennsyl- yania over Illinois; Princeton over swarthmore. Harvard over Tufts Colgate over Michigan State, and Syracuse over Johns Hopkins.
 Yales stock dropped slightly to- day as definite announcement came from the coaches that Guy Richards would not be started at tackle against the Cadets. Surgeons ad' yised that it would be unwise to use the husky lineman. who twisted hls knee q month ago. His absence following the withdrawal from the backfield of Noble and Kline. leaves the team but little stronger than Il was a week ago against Brown, 1r the estimation Of New Haven op' servers.
 Hopes of the Navy also wiltec flightly with words that Alan snap lev. star back, would not be in the starting lineup against the WolVer' ines. Shapley's injuries were report ed as greatly improved, but he vii not be used if the coaches can spare him, 1t was announced.
 Odd. on Brown mounted to 5-; when Dartmouth coaches said tha' Dooley, Horton. Hardy Longdei and Phillips would be unable tc start on account of their injuries Boob Harris was slated to replace Dooley at quarterback. Prepara' tions are made for crowd Of 2o'' GOO.
