ILLINOIS READY
 FOR WOLVERINES
Zuppke Develops We'll Balanced
 TeaIl-N0 Stars

Chicago, Oct. 26 lP-Eleven average mem rather than team built around a star is Coach Zupp- kc's aim as Illinois primes for the game Saturday with Michigan.
 Michigan, on the other hand, al ready has one All-American in the steel fingered Bonnie Oosterbaan. and another embryo one in Louis Gilbert, king kicker of the confer- cnce.
 Last year Illinois. too, had star in Frosty Peters. although he never quite rose to the expectations of an alumni out for victory. Before Peters there were three golden years of Red Grange.
 Zuppkes average man" eleven will have this advantage, the coach believes: It will mean that Michi- gan on defense vii have to watch eleven men instead of concentrating on one or two dangerous stars
 Ossterbaan is q marked man. Michigan's two conference games have shown him to be adept both at receiving passes and tossing them. besides being sure death to plays started around his end of the line.
 The Michigan offensive from training indications, will include some place kicking, for Gilbert has been booting them over from the 30-yard line for hours, in the daily

HARTFORD SERIES
 NOT 8 SURE NOV
New Britain Insists on First
 Game in This City

There will be no series between the All-New Britain football team and the Hartford Giants this year unless Dr. Vincent Lacava mana ger and owner of the Hartford team agrees to play the first game in this city on November 6, Manager Ed bailey says.
 After q two hour discussion in this city last night between Dr. La cava, and the three New Britain owners, Peter Perakos, Jack Walsh and Edward Daley, both sides held out to have the first game played in the city they represent and the re- suit was that the conference ended with no decision reached. Manager Daley told the Hartford manager the New Britain team will play the first game in his city and if he did not see IL to take these terms any negotiations on his part to change or compromise would not he vel come
 Dr. Lacava also was informed that if he did not see fit 10 accept the terms offered him by New Britain within a reasonable time gamc would be arranged with the All Hartford team on that date.
 "The days when any Hartford managers will dictate the terms upon which the annual series is to he played are all over" Dailey told the manager We have field in this city which is far superior to the one you have in Hartford, and We will be able 10 accommodate the crowd that will see this game" he added
 His fellow partners agreed with him and said they would back him to the end.
 In the meantime Dr. Lacaya is up his team in anticipation of the game. Among the many members who were given their re- lease recently were Ben Durham, guard, and Lester Itienemann, end, former New Britain High school and Aggies players. Fienc- mann was also a former high school captain.

ONLY ONE CHANCE MADE
 IN H. s. TEAM THUS FAR
Right End Position Switched by Coach Cassidy as Red and Gold
 Boys Practice

Although radical changes were eX- pected in the lineup of the New Brit ain High school team in preparation for the games which remain on the schedule, the same team with the i exception of one position went through tn" paCrs at yesterday aft ernoon's practice session. The only change was at right end, where Jimmy Scully played in place of Joe Netrano. The same backheld, Landino, quarterback: Grip and Za- leslli, half backs, and SoWka full back, was again at work. It failed to put across touchdown against the second team in the entire aft ornoon.
 The line Was as follows: Casale, center: Rcrllort and kuhs, guards; Ericson and Nevulis, tackles, and Zehrcr and Scully. ends. This is the fourth position Scully has played since the beginning of the season. His regular position is center but early in the season he was tried at tackle, He was shifted to half back Monday and yesterday he was In at end
 In the meantime. Cliff Bell, who never got a chanceTo show his stuff under fire. is still waiting patiently on the second team for the chance that may win him il regular place IS is Eddie Honnessoy. Both are heavy and would add much weight to the backtteld if they were ill there. Weight is one Of the handicaps which has been the means of weak enlng the teams offensive power this season.

Cambridge, Mass. Oct. 2G tPl-- Harvard has not lost faith in Ar mold HorWeens ability 10 build a winning football team despite the recent reverses of the Crimson war riors, William J. Bingham, director of .athletics, has declared.
 l}lngham's belief in his head coach's fitness was revealed today in Il statement which was interpreted as putting at rest, temporarily. at least, current rumors that Horween might not return to Cambridge next year.
 Tt is my belief hat Harvard foot ball is in much better shape than two years ago and this opinion seems 10 be shared by men who have closely followed the progress Of the game at Harvard for the last year and q half" he said.
 "Haughton did not build up his mighty system in one year or two years. We must give Horwecn his chance.
 T have absolute confidence in Horwecn and his assistants and ill the type of football they are teach ing. Nothing that has happened in tua last year and q half has led me 10 believe We are not on the right track
 Under Hor~cen, Harvard has lost seven and won five games. This year Harvard trouncod Vermont and Holy Cross nut suffered defeat al inc hands ot Purdue and Dart mouth.

M'C0RM|Ck LIKELY
 TO STAGE BOUTS
Tunny's ormer Manager May
 Come to City

Professional boxing which for years won popular favor In this city will be revived soon after the open ing of the new Stanley Arena and fights will he run every Wednesday night until the first of May.
 Barry Mccormack who managed Gene Tunney before he became heavyweight champion of the world and who ranks among the leading promoters in the fight world, has been in this city on several occasions during the past week has been in touch with Manager Joseph Toret- sky of the arena and it is expected that the two of them will come 10 terms today.
 Mccormack went through the arena and was impressed. He said he had been planning on running fights in this locality for some time, but a hall large enough for him was not available. He tried to get the State Armory ill Hartford but it was filled for every night He said he would not consider Foot Guard hall.
 According 10 Mccormack he had always heard of the large sporting element in this city, but he never considered running bouts here be- cause there was never accommoda- ton. According to him, he has been running open air fights in West Springfield all summer and the at- tendance averaged $500 people.
 He said he had heard that fights held in this city previously were Hops" but he was confident he would put these fights over for he was acquainted intimately with some of the leaders in the profession such as Leo P. Flynn who would furnish any fighters he wishes from his stables. He has in his possession a letter from Flynn stating that he had several men ready for him when ever he wanted them.
 Although he has not fully made up his mind he is thinking seriously of bringing Louis (kid) kaplan Of Merden on for one of his early fights He thinks the Meridcn bat tier would be a drawing card even if he were knocked out recently.
 The arena management has re. ceived several offers, previously. for the use of the place for a prize fight, but it was unwilling to allow its rental until it was sure fights that would be a credit to the place would be conducted.

 Everything they do is reflected on
 him. he declared, He lauded Coach George NJ. Cassidy for his work on the High school team and congratu-
