Ac- cording to present indications Car roll will Use the inimtable Risky Feldman and Jimmy Malcolm as forwards, "JigEs" Donoghue in the pivot position, and Jim Manning, Nelson Crowley and Wardy Water man in the back court.

NEW BRITAIN-HARTFORD
 GAME AT CLARKIN FIELD
Velodrome Grdiron Quagmire From Flood and Re- cent Rans-Hardware City Management Refuses to Attempt to Stage Contest In Mud - Second Game Scheduled to Be Played In This City-Gants Padding Lineup-Both Teams Are Ready.

The All-New Britain Hartford Giants football game scheduled for Sunday afternoon, will be played at Clarkln Field instead of at the East Hartford Nelodrome. The contest was transferred because of the con- | dltons at the Eelodrome where tbe recent flood and the more recon. oo"npour of rain has made it im- possible to even think of staging a football contest there.
 Not only has the grounds sur- rounding the Velodrome on the ont side, been turned into a veritable quagmire but inside on the playing surface is deep covering of silt and muck deposited there when the connecticut river overflowed tts banks. The New Britain promoters visited the place yesterday and they houlled the Hartford officials that they would refuse absolutely to stage the game at the Velodrome. The Hartford men refused to coma to New Britain and for time it ap- peared that no agreement could be reached. Finally it was agreed that Clark1n Field would be the scene of the battle.
 The second game, scheduled for November 27, will be played in this city at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park as was first arranged, according 10 Manager Edward J. Daley of the local eleven. He stated today that he certainly would not ask New Britain fans to suffer the lnconveniences presented at the Nelodrome nor would he think of asking the players to vallow in the mud that covers the field.
 The Hartford Giants announced today the acquisition of Owen Mur- phy, former Boston college star to the backfield for Sundays game. This is the first movement by the Capital City aggregation to strength en it's team against the invasion of the big red squad from New Britain.
 The Hardware City outfit will re- main the same for the clash. The pdchlIeIu VIII nave plenty or mater ial available for use. Graham, Thompson, Sturm, Manning, Radze- wich and Zehrer are all in shape and anxious to hear the starting whistle. The line will be as strong as ever with no injuries being re- ported.
 The New Britain team will hold its final practice tonight, The fin ishing touches will be put on the various plays to be used Sunday and from the start, New Britain will be into win. The actual starting of the game has not yet been decided but it Is thought that 1t will be close to o'clock.

RAIN MAY RENDER
 FIELD ALL SOGGY
First Wet Day Of Season Liable
 to Come on Saturday

New York, Nov. IS (E1 = The gloom of rainy weather thicker even than the pail of foreboding that hung over the football camps of HarVard's great cement horseshoe to turn the final Saturday of major football into the first genuinely sog- gy combat day of the eastern season. Ruined tinery for the gaily-be- decked host that annually gathers in Harvards great cement sorseshoe or the huge towl of Yale has be- come as traditional in the past few years as the mythical bar that is supposed to have helped keep the bulldog from biting through to the stadium goal line more than once in 19 years.
 Probably no worse weather ever faced a football throng than on the day "Ducky" Pond sloshed through the Harvard team for the decidedly moist but weather proof touchdown that beat the Crimson in 1923. Gay 1 holiday finery of women wiltcd into limp and sodden folds in the slant ing rain; undergraduate in their fur coats looked like droves of mal- amutes, just in off Wintry, storm Wrackcd trails: and newspapermen. blinded by the sheeting dOWnpour, wrestled with typeWriters and paper that melted in the rain.
 Conditions were worse, If possible. the following year when Harvard came to the Yale bowl to take a 19 to 6 licking in a storm of rain and sleet. The elements were lenicnt in the 0-0 tie of 1925 and the Eli 12-7 conquest last season. But storms still hold 800 percentage of wins over the wary spectators with the odds in their favor to increase the aver age before the five-year period is up.
 Almost as depressing as the weather reports are final checllups of injured as the rival camps went through the motions" today, their heavy work done for the season, and almost as traditional as the 46th meeting of Harvard and Yale itself were the tales of injured stars whose hurts probably would keep them from the lineup Saturday.
 Joe Crosby, shining light of what offensive Harvard has shown in win ming four out of seven games, seems definitely rclegated to the sidelines through an infected nose, developed Monday. Capt. Webster, bulwark of Yale's steel-ribbed line; Johnny Ho- ben who tossed the passes that beat Princeton; and John Garvey, re- placement back for Bruce Caldwell; all are suffering injuries of more or less greviOus nature.
 Yale moved on Cambridge today fer final tuneup in the stadium while Harvard, drills over planned to break the tradition of generations and spend tonight in town rather than the Secret of the suburbs.
 Both Army and Navy worked with an eye on each other in a rainstorm yesterday despite engagements with Ursinus and Loyola respectively on Saturday. Lafayette tapped off, for the ancient quarrel with Lehigh, while the weather failed to halt the drive of Cornell for Pennsylvania on Thanksgiving Day.

YALE PROSPECTS ARE VERY BRIGHT
Blue Eleven Decided FaV0rite
 Over Harvard Tomorrow

Yale invades the Harvard stadium tomorrow with the brightest of pros poets for defeating it's traditional
 rival and overcoming the hoodoo which has allowed it to score just one touchdown in 19 years of play
 at Cambridge. Harvard followers may point to the untoWard events Of 1925, when another Blue eleven was conceded an overwhelming advan- 1 tagc and was held to scoreless
 draw but the present Eli team is an entirely different affair from the wobbly combination which proved such a disappointment
 Yale went into that game with a lineup decided almost on the spur of the moment and it was checked as much by the defensive power Of a superior Harvard line fully as much as by the breaks. This year the Bulldog is rejoicing in one of the strongest lines in the country - a wall of seven men who outplayed Dartmouth, Brown and Army and outlasted Princeton. The Harvard line is not rated very high. and Yale should cut it up pretty badly with it's e-plunging tactics. Caldwell is missing, but Garvey, Hammersley and Decker figure to be good enough 10 break through the Crimson for wards with the holes their own line will open. Harvard may perfect a defense which will knock down Yale's passes, but it can hardly eX-
 pect to withstand a fighting, alert
 line which is better, man for man, and as unit.
 It has been a great season for Yale, and it's eleven is intact for the final game. A strong combination. developed through constant play to- gether, remains in remarkable phys ical shape and unbroken by injury. A great line. a trio of passing eX- perts, a backfeld of strong general strength. and Q courageous quarter back-what more could a team re- quire?
 Against this team, now considered the best in the east, Harvard will Dit an eleven which has much less power and ability but which has up- set some highly rated teams and won four out of seven games on a tough schedule. Its line is just ac- uuiring coordination and its best back. Crosby, will probably not be able to play the whole game, but 1t has q good line -buCker in Guarnac- ria and a fashy end-enclrcler Tn
 French, together with the same de- examination which fired the 1925 eleven. It may be able to turn the
 tables on the dopesters, but If 1t
 does, it will be q surprise to ltseli as we'll as to everybody else.

TEAMS ARE READY
 FOR FINAL GAMES
Western EleYenS Ride Into East
 on Wings Of Blizzard

Chicago, Nov. IS R1The foul western teams of the Big Ten Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wis consin-landed in the eastern camps of their opponents today riding or the wings of northwest blizzard and gridirons were covered over tc protect the turf for its final duty of the year. Purdue had only a short jaunt over to Indiana's stadium at Bennington for the annual inter- Hoosier combat.
 Capacity crowds are already as- sured at four of the games, S6,O00 for Minnesota Michigan, 75,000 for Illinois Ohio State, 60,000 for Wis consin- Chicago and 25,000 for Pur- due-Indiana.
 A duplicate set of backs a la Rockne, has been the chief aim of each Conference coach this week, but Illinois and Minnesota appear to have the edge on all the others in these extra ball carriers. Coach Lupphe lltS swung SO Ioi Aioiii 'i~ single star" era of Grange that only Capt. Reitsch at center stands out above the other 25 first string var sity men, and he has, in a Confer ence game, replaced his entire team at one sweep.
 Coach Dick Hanley of Northwest ern. finishing up his first Big Ten year. has added a novel tradition to the list sedulously fostered by alum nj to raise the morale of the team. Hanley told his Wildcats today that when he coached at Haskell lnst- ute, his Indians always presented him with a victory on his birthday and tomorrow is that day.
 For Wisconsin and Chicago, to- morrow opens up a new era in thcll long series of closing season meet ings. Each has won 13 games, with four ties. Coach ThistlethWaite, winding up his first season at Wis consin. rode his Badgers hard in their last workout, and is determin- ed to pull the team out of it's tie for the cellar championship which also involves Iowa and Northwest ern. Chicago aims for an even break in one of the toughest sched- ules in Big Ten history, six Confer ence games and Pennsylvania. Chi cago and Wisconsin each met de- feat by Michigan 140, and each de- feated Purdue so that previous show ings are almost identical.
 For the two titular games, Mime sota- Michigan and Illinois-Ohio each squad is fairly well fortified with reserves but the invaders in both cases are slightly better off in this strength.
 The Minnesota Michigan meeting is the first in many years, featuring two All-American captains fighting to earn their honors a second time. Joesting of Minnesota hopes to lead his squad to a Conference chal.. pion- ship, while Oosterbaan of Michigan must hope for both a victory over Minnesota and the downfall of Illi- nois, thus putting all three teams in a championship deadlock.

Arbitration the Bunk,
Men Find as Chicago
Car Companies Farley

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-Chicago street
car men who agreed to submit their
demands for wage increases to ar
bitration are learning again that so
long as the workers parley with the
bosses they will be tricked, cheated
and exploited.
Dissatisfaction exists everywhere
with the concession made to the Chi
cago Surface Lines by which the in
surance demands of the unions are
to be construed as equivalent to wage
increases in proportion to the cost
to the company, if granted by the
arbitrators. 1t illustrates the conten-
ton of the trade unionists that OPP
poses company welfare schemes on
the ground that "you never get some
thing for nothing from a corpora
ton" They say that what the COM
panies give in pensions, insurance
and alleged good times at picnics and
dances is more than counterbalanced
by reduced cash wages. The arbitra-
ton agreement of the street-car men
confirms this view
No progress has been made in the
hearings for higher wages because of
the illness of Hickman Seaman, the
arbitrator chosen by the union.

marked: 81 see no reason for in

they are orderly. The meeting
will each be under the surveillance
of an Inspector" Warren explained
that he will personally supervise
all Sacco meetings and see that

After the announcement of a meet
ing for A. Epstein, Old Age Pensions
expert Of the Pennsylvania Fedora
ton of Labor, a conservative dele
gate to the Central Labor Council
from the Carpenters Union took the

bor-hating National Civic Federation,
of which he is the honorary president.
There are Internationals, such as
