RECORD CROWD 10
 SEE GRID BATTLE
Four Candidates for H0n0rS to
 Clash in Game Saturday
Chicago, Nov. r P)-Four strong

Chicago, Nov. r P)-Four strong football honors will perform before what is likely to be a record break ing Big Ten crowd when Michigan and Minnesota clash at Ann Arbor Saturday.
 Two of them Herbert Jocsting, Minnesota's crashing fullback, and Benny Oosterbaan, Michigan's un- canny forward pass receiver and tosser already have been given places on the mythical eleven. The others, Harold Almquist Minnesota quarterback and leading scorer of the Big Ten, and Louis Gilbert, one of the best kickers and passcrs to wear the maize and blue of Michi- gan. are considered probable choices for the eleven this year.
 The game will mean much to the complexion of the western confer ence race. If the Gophers win. they may claim a tie for top honors, even if Illinois disposes of Ohio State at Columbus. If Michigan wins and Illinois loses, the Wolverines will go into a triple tie with Minnesota and Illinois for the title.
 On paper and past records this season. Ohio State will be easy for Illinois Saturday, but not in the opinion of Coach Robert Zuppl1e. chief mentor Of the Fighting Illini."
 The liniment list Is getting short CT every day at Northwestern and for the first time since the Purdue game, Coach Dick Hanlcy hopes to have virtually a full team to face Iowa Saturday.
 When Chicago and Wisconsin clash here Saturday, both elevens may be without the services of their captains. Capt, Crofot Of the Badgers is slowly recovering from injuries as is Capt. Rouse of the MaroonS

HARVARD AND YALE
 FINISH PRACTICES
Eli Eleven Stands as FaY0rite in
 Seasons Final Clash

New York, Nov 1T R}-With final rugged practices over for the season and polishing practices alone left for the elevens of Harvard and Yale. dopesters settled down today to the task of figuring odds on a favorite in the 46th struggle of the casts legendary rivals.
 Despite the string of "upsets' that have marked the meetings of the Bulldog and Crimson in the past, Yale was quoted a 10-3 favorite to swamp Harvard team that has bowed to Purdue, Dartmouth and Pennsylvania while winning four times this season. And there was little money wagered against the Bulldog. a mighty aggregation that has climbed over Army, Dartmouth, and Princeton to the top of the east ern heap after an early season de- feat by Georgia.
 While the final week of practice has brought added strength to Yale in the return of the injured-Cap- tain Webster, guard, and the crack backs, Hoben and Garvey-Harvard probably has lost her outstanding back in Joe Crosby, ace of the lat eral passing attack on which will depend most of the Crimson hopes, Crosby went to the infirmary yester- day with a nose infection just about as the Yale trio rejoined the squad for short drill.
 Players and coaches who have opposed the two classic rivals hesi- tate little in giving Yale at least a 10 to 3 edge on the Crimson.
 Captain Bob McPhail, of Dart mouth. is quoted as saying; 'Harv- ard was reasonably easy, Yale was desperately hard"
 Capt. Randall of Brown, beaten 19-0 by Yale and 1S-6 by Harvard, thinks the Crimson's lateral passes may cause trouble and perhaps even turn the tide, although a majority of his players favor Yale to win by an overwhelming margin.
 Bill Armsby, a Brown end coach thought Harvard would not have a chance without dependable passer "chief weakness of the Crimson of fense."
 Georgetown likewise has been in- stalled a heavy favorite to whip Fordham Saturday. while the an- nual battle of Lehigh and Lafayette is considered much of a tossup Other major elevens are hardly ex- pected to be pressed in engagements that bring together Army and Ursinus Navy and Loyola, Syracuse and Niagara, New York L.. and Allegheny Brown and New Hamp- shire, Rutgers and Swarthmore, and Holy Cross and Boston '.

HARDWARE CITY ELEVEN
 FAVORITE OVER GIANTS
Capital City Management Planning to Strengthen Team For Clash Sunday With New Britan-Contest to Be Staged at Velodrome-Second Game Will Prob ably Have to Be Played at Carkin Feld-Players All Eager for Battle to Start.

The All-New Britain football team stands out as the favorite in the first clash with the Hartford Giants which is scheduled to take place next Sunday afternoon at the Hartford velodrome. Despite ru- mors sent out from the Hartford camp that Ernie Meyers and Ken driclts will probably be signed for the game, the Hardware City eleven, because of it's great team work and it's showing during the present season. is counted on to do considerable damage to the hopes of the Capital City team for the championship of the state.
 The series arranged between ths two teams will settle the profess sional football championship of the state. New Britain has beaten all state teams with the exception of the All-Hartfords. The All-Hart- lords were beaten twice by the Giants so through elimination, the result of the series to be played will decide the question of su- premacy among state football elevens.
 The game will be started at 2.Sr o'clock Sunday afternoon. Hartford received the first game when the Giants management won the toss of coin. The officials will be Will liam Halloran of Providence. Ma .tional Football league official, as referee; "kcck' Parker of this city as umpire, and Albert W. keane of Hartford as linesman
 The second game in the series originally carded for this city, will probably have to be played at Clar- kin field. The New Britain Blues have laid claim for Memorial field for Sunday, November 27, and al- though the cement of the New Britain team has made attempts to have the game switched 10 some iother day SO that local fans could see the game eainst Hartford here. Coach Dr. Frank Zwick re- fused 10 grant the request. It was suggested that the Blues then play a preliminary game but this was met by a demand from Coach Zwick that s4O0 be paid ,c the team for their part in the days football entertainment. The argu- ment over which team is entitled to the field on the date mentioned, Is still waxing at fever heat, but the promoters of the New Britain club have about decided that the game will have to be played in Hartforo, thus depriving New Britain. Of spectacle that really belongs in this city.
 All members Of the New Britain team are reported to be in excel lent shape for the battle and battle it will be. Final practice will be held tomorrow night and the team
 will leave early Sunday for Hart ford.

ILLNESS MAY DELAY CASE
Dempsey-Kearns Suit Will Prob
 ably Be Postponed Again

Newark. N. J., Nov. 17 UP)- After spending more than year in getting as far as the first round in their battle for a third Of a mil lion dollars, Jack kearns and Jack Dempsey were back in their chairs today facing another postponement of a settlement in their legal and personal differences.
 The suit which Kearns instituted to force Dempsey to pay him 8 part ner's share of his earnings after they had split up and which has court for over year was ready to be tried before jury in U. s. dis trict court yesterday when Arthur r. Driscol. Dempsey's trial ccVnsel, became sick.
 The hearing was adjourned until this morning but it was doubtful that Driscoll would be able to leave his hotel today. He was unable to go to his New York home last night and it was said at the hotel today that he was real sick' with a se- were cold.
 Further postponement of the trial, if necessary, was not regarded as calamity in either the camp of Dempsey or his former manager. Ut will be tough on the witnesses if they have to stick around very long," kearns said.
 The principals and their counsel seemed relieved that the jury had been secured with comparative ease and that none of the expected bat ting had developed.
 We weren't out to razz the jur- ors We know our case is so strong that personalities couldn't sway a judgment. Dempsey's lawyer did most of the questioning of the jury. We took 'em as they came" Kearns said.
 Dempsey said he wasn't worried about the jury and that he wants the case to be heard by any twelve men. We fought to get q jury trial instead of an equity decision," Dempsey said,

For Anti-Imperialism

Editor. Daily Worker: Enclosed is
my subscription for year and some
contribution to the Daily Worker.
For forty years or more my only
political hobby is anti-imperialism
and l will therefore do my best to
keep the only daily anti-imperialism
paper know going.
The more / study the matter, the
more convinced ] am that Imperialism
is and always was a losing game of
dying race. Statesmen seem to be-
lieve that it is the warrior with his
sword that has conquered the world
but nothing can be farther from the
truth than that. The farmer with his
pillow is the conqueror, people that
forsake the pillow for the sword is
heading for perdition. ! have always
been sure that the British empire
must go where all other empires have
gone but | did not expect it so soon
and if the British statesmen had been
wise they could have picked softer
spot to fall on; as it is, it will cost
them more to lose their empire than
II has cost to gain it. 1t is no use
talking about disarmament and peace
as long as one nation remains subject
10 another.

Trade Union Politics
Boston Progressives
Hold Meeting Despite
Gangsters' Warnings

BOSTON, Jan. 25.-The Progress
sfve trade unionists of Boston an
swered the challenge Of the right wing
that hereafter no progressive meet
ings could be held in Boston.
The progressives recently organized
large needle trades mass meeting at
Scenic Auditorium. The meeting was
we'll attended and the entire main
floor and balcony was filled. This
time the progressives were well or
ganized and ready for emergency and
disruptors did not dare to repeat
their tactics in preventing the meet
ing from being held.
Gangsters Attack.
About month ago similar meet
ing of this kind was invaded by the
gangsters of the Sigman machine
and the whole meeting was broken
up and the hall was cleared by the
police. The right wing at the time
announced that no further meetings
If this kind would ever be held in
Boston. The splendid spirit at the
Tuesday meeting and the wonderful
organization Of progressive workers
ready to protect their meeting was
Il crushing answer to their challenge.
For Unity.
The meeting was addressed by
Rumuglia of the Amalgamated and
Weiss Of the New York Joint Board.
The speakers were enthusiastically
received. A resolution was unani-
mously adopted denouncing the dis
rupting tactics, Of the Sigmund ma
chine, the attack on the Furriers
union and the expulsion policy in the
Amalgamated. The meeting pledged
itself to fight for unity for the trade
union movement against disruption
and splitting tactics of Sigman &
Co. Full support was also pledged to
the New York Joint Board in their
struggle for unity and against the
attempts Of reactionaries to split
the union. At the meeting several
applications were made for the Joint
Board bonds.

BY PAT DEvlNE.

All over the world militant work
ingclass fighters are lying rotting in
capitalist jails. Hundreds of fighters
have been murdered and hundreds of
dependents left destitute.
In America we have seen anti-la-
Dor legislation compelling the work
ers to fight with their hands tied
behind their backs.
We know Of the cases Of Mooney
and Billings, Frank Little, Ruthen-
berg, Foster, Gitlow, Sacco and Van
zetti and the hundreds Of other work
ers prosecuted by the bosses.
Sacco and Vanzetti are lying in
Jail, pining away for a crime every
body knows they did not commit. Six
and one half Of the best years of their
lives have been spent behind prison
bars. 1t is public knowledge that
only the organized protest of the
workers of the world kept them from
being legally murdered six years ago.
A very important case is before the
law courts at the moment. Enea Sor-
menti, militant, fearless worker, is
threatened with deportation to Italy
where Mussolini,; the bloody dicta-
tor, whom all capitalist defenders are
trying to emulate-awaits with an
impatient thirst for his life. Mr..
John J. Davis of the United States
department of labor is acting as a
bloodhound for the leader of white
terror and proposes sending Sor-
menti and all other political refugees
back to their honeland--into the jaws
of death. The workers must raise
their voice in protest against such
action. BY agitation and mass sup
port the life of Sormenti and the
other political refugees can be saved.
Who is fighting the battle of the
oppressed workers the world over?
Who is championing Sormenti, Sacco
and Vanzetti and all the other work
ers threatened with capitalist perse-
cution?

Toiled Forty Years at
Useful Labor; Junked
For Uselessness Now

Sick, jobless and friendless, Michael
Murphy, go years old, was removed
from lodging house at 100 Park
Row to Beeekman Street Hospital,
where he is now recovering from NAL
nutrition and bronchial pneumonia.
For forty years Murphy has work
ed as laborer, in railroad camps,
and on the streets, never receiving
more than twenty-one dollars for a
weeks work. Because his snowy white
hair and lettering steps bellies his
physical ability to work, he has lately
found it hard to find job.
Like thousands of others, he found
it necessary to make his home in the
quarter night Bowery flop
houses" because. of his poverty. The
bad food served at the cheap restau-
rants, and the unsanitary condition of
his living quarters wrecked ruin upon
his health.
Last Saturday, when snow and
wind swept furiously about the city
and kept well-dressed New Workers
indoors, Murphy mushed thru the
snowdrifts delivering packages to re-
plenish his empty pocketbook, his only
protection against the elements being
q torn, light and well-worn overcoat,
and an extra pair of socks lent to him
by fellow lodger because his broken
shoes seemed sadly in need Of re-
pair. Three days later he was forced
to take to his bed.
