GAY NINETIES' MASQUERADE
SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 20

Of extreme interest to the MEM
bers of the Douglas Country club and
their friends is the announcement of
the Gay Nineties" dinner dance to
be held at the club October 90.
Every year there is a feature din
ner dance which attracts the largest
crowd of the year. Last year it was
treasure hunt which led members
oyer the golf course and through the
mesquite in a wild chase after buried
treasure. This year it will be an I'M
usual and "sh-h-h'' (whisper) funny,
affair termed the Gay Nineties
dinner dance.
Ample warning is being given the
members of the club, in unusual in
vitations to be issued this week. that
the party is in the form of mas
querade. That is the members will
masquerade as grandma and grandpa
in the heyday of their youth.
The invitations which give an
inkling of what is to take place reads
as follows:

STATEN ISLAND ID ENTERTAIN LOCALS
An-NeW Britain Will Play
 There Sunday

Tn meeting the Stapleton football ieam in Staten Island next sunday, the All-New Britain football team will face one Of the strongest teams of the east, outside Of the organized National and American football teams.
 Last week it defeated the Wilkes Barre team by 2o to 5 score, The losers had in it's lineup Harry Stuhl- dreher, quarterback Of the famous -Four Horsemcn of Notre Dame" and a member Of the Hartford Blues last year. and Stanley Sieracki of Meriden, former University Of Penn sylvania star tackle.
 The Staten Island management is confident of win. However, it has made reservations with the All-New Britain management for q return game if New Britain should win. New Britain's squad of 20 including George Boyer will make the trip.
 George was added to the roster of the AlI-New Britain team last week. Coach David l.. Dunn was anxious to have an extra man avail able who could be used after every other member of the team had been in the lineup. Without player like Beyer, the coach was forced to keep his good players on the sidclines rather than have only II men avail able In the last few minutes of the game. This happened two weeks ago when the regulars had gone to the showers and the substitutes had talk en their places.
 Manager Edward J. Dailey has ar ranged with the management of the New York, New Haven, 65 Hartford railroad to have the excursion train to New York stop at the Berlin sta tion going and coming home so that the New Britain fans can follow the team to Staten Island.
 Manager Daley is not certain whether or not the annual Hartford New Britain game will be played on November 6, as Dr. Lacava announc- cd in Hartford. An official an- nouncement will he made in the near future, he said.

Chicago. Oct. 25 lPp-The winds Of fashion blow on the football field as well as on the boulevards. When the gridiron hero goes out to wallow around for his alma mater, perforce he must be dressed in the style of the day.
 Knitted pants are the thing this year. Last season, Jimmy Phelan. CoaC. at Purdue university, sent his men out with their stalwart limbs encased in silk. Rubber was the fashionable material one season for the gridder's clothes at Notrc Dame.
 Chicago and Harvard are experi- menting with knit pants, but they are not new by any means. When the Chicago coaching staff devised the knitted garments, they thought they had developed an innovation and they went 10 Amos Alonzo Stagg for his approbation.

WESTERN RIVALS
 MEET ON SATURDAY
Conference and Big Ten Leaders
 to Fight It Out

Chicago, Oct. 9 LP}-The four un- defeated teams of the western con- ference, by peculiar accident of the schedule, are the four which meet Big Ten foes next Saturday. Two Of them, Minnesota, and Chi cago, play opponents which already have met defeat, respectively Wis consin and Ohio.
 The other two, Michigan and Illinois, clash at Urbana in one of the big games of the year. Mchi- gan has won four of the seven since the annual series started after the war. holding the Illini scoreless in fore that, in 1924. brought Red Grange undying fame, with his four touchdowns in the first 12 minutes of play.
 No team has been able to score q point on Michigan this year. while Illinois was held 10 d 12-12 tie by Iowa State only two weeks ago. Neither squad has important play CTS on the injured list.
 Gloomy Glenn" Thistlethwaite of Wisconsin told his players that the Minnesota $50 victory over Iowa only proved his prediction that the Gophers were stronger than Wiscon- sin. unless vast improvement is shown by next Saturday. The Badg- CTS have q strong line and light backs to face d Minnesota team which is heavy all the way through, and as expert on passes as it is on line smashing.
 Dissatisfied with the showing of all of his quarterbacks, Coach Han ley Of Northwestern jumped into the job himself last night for dummy scrimmage, to demonstrate how 10 drive the Wildcats to victory against Missouri Northwestern and Mis- souri will meet under a scouting agreement.
 The system that has worked for three weeks at Chicago, skull prac- tice" rather than scrimmagc, is be ing followed this week by Coach Stagg. Ohio plays and players were explained to the varsity by scouts, and Stagg lecturcd at length on team work. Two important mem- bcrs of the squad, who were out of the Penn game. returned to the field in uniform yesterday: Libbey, half back, and ProudtOot, tackle. The gloom in the Buckeyes camp is heavy, with two defeats in TOW, and Byron Eby, one Of Ohio's best backs, on crutchcs. In Monday prac- tice Coach Wilce shook up his line candidates again, sending Young in to Captain Meyers place at tackle. The Georgia Tech team is causing Rocknes ramblers more worry than any opponent yet this season, from the indications of Mondays work out. The only injury from Satur- days fray with Indiana was an in- jured ankle for John Niemic, Notre Dame's best punter, but he will be ready for. the Golden Tornado. Coach Phelan at Purdue patched up one weak spot developed ill the 1 Wisconsin game, by sending Burt 1 Dreyer from center 10 end. 1n- diana freshmen polished up Harvard plays against reserves, so they could
 give the varsity q demonstration on the Crimson offensive today, The 1 lo2-piece Hoosier band also rv- 1 nearsed special formalions for the Cambridge trip.

JOHNNY DUNDEE NOW $ THROUGH
Decisiyely Defeated by Younger Boxer

New York, Oct. g UP)-To .the drum beat of younger fighters fists, Johnny Dundee has passed from the spotlight and the head lines
 Shorn of his last excuse for fight ing, after a decisive and not unex- peCted defeat at tho hands of young Tony Canzoneri Of Brooklyn, the vet eran Of 326 ring battles admitted today that he was through.
 "I thought 1 could defend my old title at the weight" said John, but I couldn't make the grade
 Dundee tried one ot the most un- usual "come- backs" in ring history last night. He reduced from his natural weight ot somewhere around 145 pounds to make the feather weight limit of 12G, and took on one of the best youngsters in the game in CanZoncri.
 The result was inevitable. Canzon- ori won from the opening bell, and the marvel of it was that Johnny rng-craft carried him through the l5 rounds and that the final bell round him still on his feet.
 It was a poor fight. even as fights go in this refined ago, and only the game exhibition of the old Italian kept the crowd in Madison Square Garden from booing both boxers out of the ring.
 They will be claiming the feather weight title for Tony Can2oneri. now. but it won't mean a thing. Dundee, until last night, never had defended he title he won from gallant Gene Nrjqui four years ago.
 No longer A natural featherW eight, and having long since relinquished ,my claim to the championship, | Johnny boiled down to 126 pounds or one last stab at the headlines and the reward which the fight game reserves for headlncrs
 Tony Cauzoncri is q good feather 10 consideration as q champion on the strength or his victory over Dundee.
 The National Boxing Association md the New York State Athletic Commission both have recognized l}cnny Bass of Philadelphia. as champion of the l2f pound class. ntn Cmzoucri meets and defeats the little Philadclphian-and that day probably is distant as ring dates go-Tony will b. rem mbor,d only as inc pox.r uho put the finishing touch 10 a long and esImable career,
 puudce'S last excuse for fighting disappeared some time ago on the occasion of his defeat at the hands o. ssnorl rat" boxers. But necessity drove him once more into the ring, Since fighting at the lrathrTWelght lm,r WIS the one thing Johnny had not doa, for four years, he attempt ,d 10 come back at t26 pounds, claiming for himself the title he re- Ns4uishcd after his victory over criqu.
 ] Tho claim Was ridiculous; the ef- sort brave one. Dundee wcathered a storm of punches loosod by hls ,ug,r loung opponent and stayed uprighl to hear the verdict at the finish. As q tighter his ring career .-ndcd gIoriously. AS for the claim that hc was fighting aS q cnamplon of the world last night there is something decidedly pathetic in the fact that Johnny had to make such d claim.

fully through his graying hair, and said. "I remember when" Then from his storehouse of football files he dug up a picture of the Yale cham pionship team of 1876, that famous outfit of which Walter Camp was member, and behold the play CTS of that doughty day, in addition to mustaches, had on knitted pants.
 But the knitted garb of that team which first played with | leather oval and eleven men on a side, were not the knitted pants of today. They were neat, and certainly not gaudy, and might be described with some deicacy as looking like that other garment of American origin, the union suit.
 The first suit really adapted to needs of the game. says Stagg. was invented by l.. r. Shock of Prince ton in 1877. Shock devised q laced jacket of stout canvas, which be- came very popular.

HIGH SCHOOL. TEAM IS TO BE MADE
 OVER FOR REMAINDER OF CONTESTS

Following the failure of the team, which he had built up since the be- ginning of the season, to come through for a victory against the New Haven Hillhouse team in a Triangular league game last Sdtur- day, Coach George NJ. Cassidy of the High school eleven has promised q general shake-up in his lineup and has already shifted some of the players.
 Jimmy Scully who had been play ing q tlashy game at center all sea- son until the New Haven game was shifted from center to halfback, Frank Casale who started at guard last week, but who was taken out and replaced by Recliert. was put in at center.
 The regular guards and tackles, Reckert, Kuhs, Captain Ericsson and Nevulis remained in their places as did Fred Zehrer for part of the time. Clifford Bell. who had been playing a great game in the second team backtield but who did not seem
New Britain herald., 1927-10-25

to get an opportunity to show his stuff on the first eleven, was put ill at end in place of Joe Eetrano.
 In the backiield with Scully is Landino, quarterback, Eddie Hen ncssey, halfback; and Sowka, full back. Hennesscv was another sec ond team back who was not making the first team very rapidly.
 The new changes leaves Zaleshi and Grip out of the first team back field and Netrano out of the line. Another change made was the shift ing of Fred Zehrer 10 halfback, but it is not probable that he will be kept there since he is needed at end. The Collegiate Preparatory school team which comes here from New Haven Saturday has played two games and lost both of them.

BASKETBALL LEAGUE IS
 NOW FACING A CRISIS
Professional Major Leaguers Are Slow in Signing Up For
 Season.

Washington, Oct. 25.-UP)-- ball in Washington faces a crisis. Five of the nine players of the city's American league club have not vet signed their contracts for the con- ing season, which opens November 20.
 George P. Marshall, presid ent Of the club announced today he has given the players one week to sign contracts or indicate whether they are withdrawing from play this sea son. He said they would be subject to suspension and a fine if they held out after that time.
 Two of the five players. Francis Meohan. Newark, N.. J., and Harry Riconda, New York, have refused terms offered them. Russell Rusty" Saunders, Trenton, N. J., Elmer Rip- ley, Washington, and John Conaty. Brooklyn, N. Y, have not indicated they will sign.
 should all five fail to come to terms with Marshall there would not be sufficient players signed to form a team and 1t is probable, if more players are not available, that Wash lngton may have to withdraw from the league this season.
 Saunders led the league In point scoring last two years and was signed 10 play baseball for the Philadelphia Athletics the past season. Ripley is basketball coach at GcorgctoWn university, Washington.
 In addition to Washington there are seven cities in the league. They are: Philadelphia. New York, De troit, Rochester, Fort Wayne, Gnd.), Cleveland and Chicago.
