SHOOTING STARS.

Friend Audience.
We should not need
A censor's care
To make us heed
Expression fair.
Instinctively
We ought to know
That words too free
Should never flow.
We know quite well
Which stories are
Polite to tell
And which will jar.
1t is for you
To stop the play.
All you need do
Is Stay Away.

NEW CHESS CHAMPION
Alexander Alckhinc Wins Title Match From Jose Capablanca, Holder of Crown.

Buenos Aires, Nov. 30 (UP)-- Alexander Alekhine was chess champion of the world today
 When Jose Capablanca. champion since 1921. withdrew from the 34th game last night by resigning. the Franco Russian challenger won the title match which had been in pro- grese for three months.
 Capablanca wrote 10 the Arg Chess club abandoning the game and congratulating Alekhine, who then was proclaimed the new champion by the chess club president.
 My career has been marked by q parabola which has curved down. ward since before my meeting with Emmanuel Lasker." said the former champion. "I consider Alekhine Q great player who honors the title. but he must be careful of Lasker who in spite of his age is a formid- able rival Nf any champion
 The final score was Alekhine. six; Capa blanca. three; voided draws. 25.
 Happy at his victory. Alekhine said: T have realized the dream of my whole life. Capablanca's sports manship was evident.'
 Alekhine said he would give pri- ority to Capablanca as challenger. but that he would not meet anyone in a championship bout before 1929.

DETAILS 0F GAME
 HERE ARRANGED
Hartford and New Britain
 EleVenS to Clash Sunday

Arrangements for the third and and New Britain football teams for the state professional football title were completed last night at a meet ing between the management of the local eleven and representatives of Capital City team. The game will be played at Memorial field in Will low Brook park Sunday afternoon before one Of the largest crowds of the season.
 The Hartford team will be bol- stered by the addition of the regular quarterback. Pigeon Connolly, through whose work the Capital City crew was able to score it's first touchdown and thereby defeat New Britain in the first game. He was not in the lineup last Sunday due 10 disagreement with the manage ment of the team. This will give the Hartford organization it's work ing combination that has brought it through the entire season un- scored on until last Sunday.
 With the games at one and one a real gridiron scrap is in the making. Last Sundays contest, clean from all points of the compass, drew out the ire of players on both sides and this feeling will be greatly enhanced this coming Sunday.
 New Britain will dispense with the Friday night practice this week and will. instead, hold a workout Sunday morning. The play of the team last Sunday was very good but Coach Dave Dunn plans to make it even better this weekend if pos sible.
 The entire squad. including all the out town men, will be on hand for the practice and two hours or more of intensive drilling will be on the slate.
 The same set of officials that handled tho two first games will be in charge this week. William Hal loran of Providence will referee "Keck' Parker will umpire and Bert keane will be linesman, The kick off will take place at o'clock.

ARGUMENT OVER
 GRID DECISION Southern California Claims Score Should Have Been 8 to '

Chicago. Nov. 50 tPl-Ths touch back play of the Notre Dame Southern California. football game last Saturday has added another controversial chapter to the colorful history of Soldier Field stadium, scene of record breaking crowds and the Hong count" given Champion Gene Tunney.
 The Southern Californians. when they landed home yesterday. were quoted as saying that the play should have been called a safety, which would have given them ah S-7 victory over Notre Dame. In stead the touchback decision of un- pire John Schommer. former Uni versity of Chicago star. sent them westward with a 7-6 defeat.
 The little Notre Dame quarterback Riley, intercepted a Trojan pass near his goal line, but was tackled and lost the ball, which was recovered back of the Notre Dame goal line by three Troians. Schommer called IL touchback on the ground that Riley had not gained control of the ball before hard tackle made him tumble.
 Major John l.. Griffith, western conference athletic Comnlssloner, several Big Ten football officials and other sports authorities agreed with Schommer's decision, but there were also those who maintained that Riley held the ball in his hands long enough to say he had control of 1t. All agreed he had not drawn it tight In his arms before 1t flew out of his grasp as the tacklers hlt him.
 Schommer's statement on the play. after the game, was:
 T was within a few yards of Riley when he intercepted the Southern California pass. l never was more on top of a play in my life. l saw him grab the ball, juggle it, and lose it when tackled.
 "The rules say that befoer ball may be considered to be fun bled, the player must have had possession and control. l couldn't rule that he fum bled. A touchback was the only interpretation that I could make"
 Schommer said that Field Judge Jack "Pinkey" Griffith. Pacific coast conference official, agreed with him on the ruling.

Nando Tassi, Italian light heavy
 weight sensation, is the favorite
 among New Haven fight fans to de-
 feat Murray Gitlitz, former Yale star. in the eight round feature bout
 of the New Britain A. C. profes-
 sional fight card at the Stanley
 Arena Friday night. Tassi, here in
 this country for little more than
 three months, has won his first three starts and although Gitlitz is recog-. nizcd as a strictly defensive fighter. those who are well acquainted with
 both men, figure that Tassi has the ability to kayo the New Haven He
 brew.
 Both fighters ar trained down to
 the finest condition. Being a real
 home town affair because both live
 in New Haven. the boxing followers
 of the Elm City are planning to turn
 out in large numbers to watch the
 battle. Since the match was made.
 both camps have been boasting and by Friday night. the meeting will be one of the most interesting of the current boxing season.
 Backing Up the main feature on the card are four bouts that should
 result in plenty of action. The semi
 final will bring Bat Battalino.
 former national amateur feather weight champion. together with Philly Griffin, tough Newark, x. J., scrapper. Griffin's long string of vic tories gives him a shade over Bat talino and the fact that the former
 amateur king has been laid up for six weeks or more hasn't helped his prospects any. Bat. however, is showing all of his old time stuff in 1 training and his punches are as stiff as ever. It is expected that this bout, although carded for six rounds, will be shortened consider ably.
 The battle between Portell and
 Angelo, the two Hartford arch rivals, has the river section of Hart ford all burned up.' Both hail from the same neighborhood in Hartford and their home sector is Splll up lIllO two camps. 2nSclO

Coach Bob Xuppke has q great team at Illinois this year. It's going 10 be even better next season. There are a lot of sophomores on the eleven. A years experience under their belt is going to give them added poise.
 Once upon time Fed Grange hoggcd tho Illinois spotlight. Oranges great fcats dwarfed the brilliant work of the line that was making them possible
 When Grange made his exit, Frosty" Peters made his entrance. The iceman gave way to the fireman in the battle for publicity. Peters got plenty of press agonting. but he failed to live up 10 the advance dope as did Grange.
 This year great Illinois team is steam rolling over the rest of tn" Big Ten minus Red" Grange or "Frosty" Peters in the back field. It is called the team without a star.
 What about Captain Rob Rcitsch" I ask you.
 Coach Bob Zuppkc Of the Univer- sity is not given to praise of his football players during the season. but he recently broke long estab- lished rule in coming to the defense of Captain Bob Rcitsch who has been the victim of widespread stories 10 the effect that Illinois has "starless" team.
 Zuppke characterized Roitsch, pra ctically unanimous conference center last season, as a great player and q great leader. the most aggres sive captain Illinois has had since Ralph "Slooie" Chapman, first Illini All-Amcrica and one of the great heroes of the world war, who cap tained the 1914 eleven.

 Reitsch is playing his third year at the pivot and in .his senior year is playing the best game of his career. snapping the ball accurately for the intricate plays of Zuppk"- coached backs. making tackles all over the field and encouraging his mon by his example and his person. ality.
