NATIONAL CHAMP
 ID FIGHT KELLY
George Hoffman and Connecticut
 Title Holder Matched

George Hoffman, national light heavyweight amateur champion of the United States will meet Jack Kelly, Connecticut middleweight champion, in the feature bout Of the amateur fight tournament to be con- ducted by the Mohawk A. C. at the Tabs hall on Main street next Tues day night.
 Hoffman Is known as one Of the best fighters ever to appear in Con- necticut following his meeting with Joe Howard Of Hartford last year in the Capital City. Hoffman, a lanky boy, possesses a stiff sock in either hand. Against Joe Howard, he showed plenty of power and to the fans who viewed the bout, it appear cd as if he was able to knock How ard down whenever he pleased.
 Hoffman will be accompanied to this city by Joe Mulcahy Of New York, a Welterwcight who is consid- cred better than Frankie LaPera who fought in this city last Friday Mulcahy will be matched with Bill Lieberman of Springfield who, many thought, earned d decision over La Pera last week.
 Liebcrman put I'D IS pretty q fight as has been seen in this city in some time and in Carding him with Mul- cahy, the officials of the Mohawk A. (. are gving the Springfield battler q second chance to show his wares against d tough competitor.
 Another attraction slated for the tournament is a battle between Leo Larrivier of Waterbury and Harry Seeche of Hartford. formerly of Boston. These two have met a num- Der of times without either getting q decisive win over the other. Both have been benefited by rests and they will be in the pink Of condition off the match.
 The remainder Of the card will be arranged today and the officials of the promoting club will strive to equal the matches of last week. Last Fridays tournament was about the best that has been seen in this city in some time and another on the same lines will draw out every fan in town who is interested in amateur fighting.
 Hoffman's appearance in this city against Jack Kelly indicates that the Mohawk 4. C. has met with good piece of luck. Every promoter of amateur fight tournaments has been seeking this match. Hartford, Waterbury, Bridgeport, New Haven, Torrington and every other place in staged, was after this bout which is recognized as one of the best pos sible. New Britain has succeeded in getting it.
 Holfmans evident superiority over Howard last year is an indication of his prowcss in the ring. kelly'S work against Dandry, mid Atlantic states champion in the star bout of last weeks tOurnamrnt, proves that he is able to stand up against the best in the game. In meeting II Hoff- man. he has the opportunity Of showing what he can do against the man who is the king of the light heavyweights in the entire country.
 The tournament next week will be conducted on Tuesday instead of Friday according 10 the announced change in plans of tue officials of the Mohawk club.

FACES
 OHIO ON SATURDAY
Tigers Mettle Will Be Tested to
 the Limit in Next Game

New York. Nov. LT - Ohio States football team is being count ed on 10 determine for the east Sat urday whether Coach Bill Roper has snarling, fcrocious tiger in the Princeton jungle or quiet domest- cated house cat.
 Princeton's decisive defeat of Cornell two weeks ago established Roper's team high in the eastern ranking. The subsequent scorelcsS Ii. to which Cornell was held by Columbia has somewhat dimmed the glory of the Princeton achievement, and although the Orange and Black is still undefcated and united and looks every inch of a cham pionshlp outfit. it still is shrouded in more or less mystery The Princeton Yale battle November l2 is certain 10 nn- ravcl the skein of uncertainty, but Ohio State, evidently on the come back road, may accomplish the job before hand.
 Roper is driving his men hard. They rompcd through another stiff scrimmage last night and beat q scrub team of several former Tiger stars.
 The big game Of tho Pennsylvania district. involving the casts only other undefeated and united teams Of major importance, Washington X Jefferson and Pittsburgh, appears on the surface to be a toss-up. Both teams beat Thiel and Carnegie Tech by comfortable margins. Pitt down. ed West Virginia, 400 and est Virginia held W. X J. 10 - tie, but comparative scores have proved more unreliable than ever this year.
 W. x J. has q star backheld in Capt. Bill Amos. Heisel, Cook and kirkham. Pitt has one to match it with Capt. Gibby Welch. a versatile performer, especially prominent.
 Twenty-tWo years ago, when Har- yard and Penn last met on the grid iron, there was no Harvard Prince ton game, so Saturdays game finds an analogous situation. Penn. re- placing Princeton on the Crimson's schedule, will be playing football built upon lines similar to those of the 1905 Penn team. The Quakers will have to snap into form against this Harvard team. however, for mary believe that Coach Arnold Horwean has his team at it's best
 Al Wascolonis. who has been a fixture in the Penn backfeld, bas been dropped to make way for Paul Murphy. Brown probably will call signals for Harvard instead of French.
 ' After two days Of rest the Yale varsity has taken up light scrim- mage for the game with the | nj vcrsity of Maryland. Dartmouth is | not expecting stern opposition from Brown, but there are some who feel that the Brown Bear is tired Of be- f ing doormat and will arise 10 the occasion Saturday. Army is nursing along three casualties but doesn't figure to be hard pressed by Frank lin and Marshall. West Virginia prepared to leave today for Colum- bia, Mo, and the game with the Uni versity of Missouri.

Aporto Is the second city of Por- tugal in population and importance and is the capital of the district of that name. It is 175 miles north east of Lisbon.
 The political affairs of Portugal have been stormy intermittently since the assassination of King Car los in 1908. He was succeeded by King Manoel, who was deposed and eXiled in the republican revolution of 1910.
 Two attempted revolutions then were organized by military leaders in an effort to win back the throne for Manoel but one failed at its in- ception and the other was denounc- ed by the deposed monarch.
 Both revolutions yielded many political prisoners and their treat ment was so harsh that protests came from abroad.
 Two revolts took place in 1925. OAe in April was suppressed with out difficulty but in July the capital was bombarded by the warship V aSCO La GaI1ld ana tIS llSuIle eC- tion gained some headway before 1t was put down.
 Another abortive revolution came in February, 1926. The situation smoldered until May 2S when a coup d'etat prepared by the army and navy with General Comes Da Costa and Commandante Mendes Cabeca- das at the head, was successful.
 The two leaders, fell out, however. and General Carmona who had been dismissed from the foreign office by Da Costa, overthrow his chief and assumed control.
 General Carmona effected his peaceful revolution on July g, and immediately promoted himself to presidency and premiership of the republic, even taking the portfolio of war.
 The Carmona dictatorship was able to endure in tcoublous times because of it's close relations with the superior officers of army and navy. Many suspected of plotting against the government were exiled.
 The financial situation of Portugal has remained precarious through the years of internal turmoil
