JIMMY HAMPSTEAD
 IS ANOTHER STAR
Making Vanderbilt Men Forget Billy Spears Of 1927 Grid Team

Nashville. Tenn. Nov. 17 P)- Jimmy Armistead. the Bald Eagle. is making Vanderbilt men forget Billy Spears, all-America backfield ace of a year ago.
 When Bounding Bill graduated with the 1927 team. many critics of Dixie football jointd Commodore fol- lowers in the prediction that it would be long time before the south saw another star like Spears. And their forecast brought no dis pute.
 Yet in single year Armistead, Spears old running made. has ac- complished all the things wrought by Spears.
 He passes with consistency ap- preaching the great quarterback of last year. He kicks on d par runs interference in great style and more important he can strike line and flank an end with the best
 ArmiStead's rise is not AS me tcoric as it might seem. however. Oyershadowed by the great Spears in 1927. the Bald Eagle was the highest point scorer in American football Hhe scored g touchdowns Tor 13S points.
 This year he has scored fre- auently, although having the add cd duties Of naptalncy and signal caller upon him. Among others, he has carried the ball over the goal line of Colgate, Tulane, Nlr- ginia and Kentucky so far.
 The tinding of Armistead. how ever, is another tribute to the coaching of Dan McGugin. now in his a5th year as head of Wander hilt football teams, McGusin, a brOther-in-laW of Fielding H. 1ost. the noted Michigan coach and ath- l. tie director, has produced in the past such scoring stars ss Rabbit Curry, Gil Reese and Ray Morrl- son.

Reports coming from New Haven are to the effect that the team will be out to win in memory of it's dead teammate. Robert Stock, who play ed a guard position. Hillhouse has had a good record this year and it has been confident throughout the season that it could beat New Brit ain. Previous to the Hartford Pub lie High school game the Elm City team figured it could hold Hartford because of it's heavy line, bAt that it would swamp the New Britain High eleven. It did hold Hartford High for three-quarters of the game, but the speedy backfield of the Capital City gridders scored the winning points in the last quarter The score was to 0 and Hartford has first leg in the Triangular league cup.
 Since both New Haven and New Britain are equipped with strong lines. the fans may be treated to an aerial attack today.

 With galaxy of stars added in the last minutes the Hartford Giants will invade this city tomor- row for the second game of tho state football championship with the Nutmeg A. c. eleven.

Eordham flash and last years quar- terback with All-New Britain and Rooney, former Duluth Eskimo to it's lineup in the hope that New Britain will be on the short end to- morrow.
 Evidently it is bitter pill for the Hartford team to swallow, a defeat by New Britain and no matter to what ends they are driven. the Giants are out to beat New Britain tomorrow.
 According to the Nutmeg players. that is easier said than done and despite the presence of the stars in the Hartford lineup. the locals are
