NUTMEG ELEVEN
GETTING READY
Local Football Eleven Scheduled
to Meet Bridgeport Sunday

With ll-Bridgeport coming here
Sunday with one OF the strongest
/, football teams assembled in recent
years in the Park City, the Nutmeg
eleven of this city will have to be
at the peak of form to keep up its
winning streak. The visitors have
a lineup that would impress even the
most skeptical grid fan and every
player on the team is anxious to
defeat the New Britain club.
Tonight at 1880, the Nutmegs will
practice at Willow Brook park in
preparation for the game. Signal
drill will occupy the attention Of the
team for the most part ~ this IL the
most important item in the CAM
paign of the Nutmegs.
The local team is about set for the
season now. The backfield will most
probably start with Belonki and
Buckley at the halves and Davis at
fuilback. RadZewich will call sig
nails and will pay in the safety po-
sition. The line from end to end is
strong and capable. On the offense
the forward wall can charge to per-
lection while it takes a really good
backtield man TO get through for
any .appreciable gains.
Bridgeport, directed by Jacka-
howsky, former Villanova star, has
q crack set Of backs who will cause
the locals plenty of trouble. sEross,
last years veteran, tore through the
All-New Britain line for plenty of
gains in the game played in Bridge
port. Paired up with Boyan, he
should be the same streak that he
was last season. Mead will be a
tullback and he is known as one of
the best line plungers in the bust
ness.
The line compares favorably with
that Of New Britain. A sprinkling
Of college stars mixed with efficient
professional players gives the team
an offense and defense as strong as
the best the Nutmegs can put in.
Both teams appear to be equal in
all departments of the game.
Several bus loads of fans will ac-'
company the team from Bridgeport.
Remembering the crowd that went
to Bridgeport last season, the Park
City fans are anxious and eager to
return the compliment The game
will be started promptly at $3.50
o'clock.

GEORGIA Favored
To DEFEAT Yale.

New York, Oct. II NtThe
chances for q second triumph Of the
Georgia Bulldog over the Yale Bull
dog seem to be increasing daily. 4
year ago Georgia deprived Yale Of q
possible claim on eastern champion
ship honors by q II to 10 defeat.
Next Saturday their meeting may
bring about the same situation.
The Ellis probably will 60 into the

men who have not had enough hard
work to prepare them for big

over Maine. the Yale players have
not had one good drill. and many
OF the regulars have not been in
uniform at all.
Coach Nal Stevens planned . long
scrimmage for yesterday but only
one OF his regulars appeared.
Twelve OF the first string players
were In the hospital, suffering from
colds or minor injuries. How many
OF these men will be able to play
against Georgia Is doubtful, and II
they should play their performance

able to make plans for his practice

and does not dare risk q scrimmage
for fear OF injuring his few remain
ing able bodied men. Should Ellis get
safely by the Georgia menace. how
ever they should be well on the way
to a good season, as none OF the
casualties IL seriously hurt.
While the attention Of the east

games as the Yale-Georgia, Navy

Once again the two local baseball
teams which are battling it out for
the championship of the city. the
Falcons and All-Kensington, will
meet, this time at st. Mary's Field
in this city Sunday afternoon. This
may be the final and deciding game
of the battle between the two.
kensington has taken two victor
les in two straight games. Both con-
tests were closely fought and the
third will be no exception. A win for
kensington will finish the question
and make that team the champion
ship outfit. A win for the Falcons
will stave off the Kensington rush
and will give the Hardware City nine
new lease on life.
Without any announcements hav-
ing been made by either Of the
managers. the pitching selections for
Sundays game will probably be
Nichols for the Falcons and Wood
man for the Kensington crew.
Lefty Atwood was shelled of the
mound in kensington last Sunday
and Nichols had to relieve him.
Nichols pitched nice ball for the re-
mainder of the game.
The squabble over the decision
rendered by Umpire McKeon at
third base when barrow dropped
the ball in tagging runner. still
goes on merrily. The Falcons claim
that the decision killed a rally that
was sure to put their team In the
lead.
The time of starting Sundays
contest has been set ahead due to
the. return to standard time. The
game will start promptly at 2:15
o'clock 80 that the entire affair
might be finished before night falls.

YANKEES GREETED
BY GREAT CROWDS
Triumphant Champions Get
Wonderful Greeting in New York

New York, Oct. II R-Babe Ruth
and the Worlds Champion Yankees
are home again, bringing with them
their unequalled string OF records
made in their second successive
worlds series triumph and received
the adulation of thousands of base
ball fans. young and old.
After a journey from St. Louis
that was long series of herowor-
shipping trying to catch glimpse
of the champions and the champion
OF championships Babe, the ath-
letes arrived in New York at zine
o'clock last night to be met with
demonstration that outshone all the
rest. A crowd of about 5000 cheer
ing fans was on hand when the spe-
cial train reached the Grand Central
terminal and the players had to
fight their way through the throng
to the Hotel Biltmore, where Cover
nor Smith was waiting to add his
greetings. Six sturdy policemen were
required to disentangle Ruth from
the crowd while such unimportant
persons as Col. Jacob Rupert. own
er of the team, and Miller Higgins
who guided the Yankees to victory,
were swept aside in the rush.
Governor Smith. dressing to start
on a campaign tour. held his collar
and tie in his left hand while he
grasped Ruth's hand with his right.
Congratulations on those hits"
he said. If / could count on as
many votes as you have kids yelling
for you, I'd be sure I'm going to be
elected" the governor continued.
AS he put on his collar and tie.
the governor asked Ruth if he were
all through for the season.
"All except a little transforming"
Ruth replied.
That's what I'm going to do too
Smith said" except that instead OF
hitting the ball I've got. to hit the
candidate.
After greeting the rest of the team
and posing for photographers. the
governor left to catch his train and
the players slipped from the hotel
in small groups, trying to avoid the
crowd that still was present.
Ruth's transforming tour, in
which his home run partner. Lou
Gehrig, will take part, stars tomor-
row in Brooklyn and will take them
as far west as Omaha. After tomor-
rows game the Babe will lead one
team and Lou will oppose him with
another.
The other members of the team
expect to go back to their winter
occupations within short time.
Bob Meusel left the team at st.
Louis to go to California and John
Grabowsl1i colby dropped off the
train at Schenectady. n. ~ where
he works during the winter for the
General Electric Company.
Herb Pennock. George Pipgras
and Earle Combs are leading the
back to the soil movement in Penn
sylNanla, Minnesota and Kentucky.
while Benny Bengough departs in
a few days to join a group of other
big leaguers on a hunting trip in
Canada. Miller Huggins and Henry
johnson expect to start for the
south for winter of golf and Waite
Hoyt goes only as far as Brooklyn.
Where he will await the outcome
of the examination he took recently
to become a qualified mortician.

OVER CONFIDENCE CAUSE
OF CARDINALS DEFEAT
Miller Higgins Gives His Views On Reasons for Sorry
Showing of St. Louis-Experts Had Predicted Easy
Win for National League Team = Betting Odds
Were Against Yankees, to - Took Too Much
Stock In Story About Crippled Players.

New York, Oct. II CP-The boys
were on the last lap of the long
jaunt from st. Louis with the worlds
champion Yankees They were still
talking baseball, now passing over
the horizon for the season when the
unusually taciturn Miller Higgins
spoke up.
do you know what licked the
Cardinals?' he inquired. This was
enough in itself to produce an i'm
mediate silence. The boys had their
own ideas CD the subject, but here
was the silent leader of the cham
pions ready to give his views.
"Over confidence, from the fact
that they had been made as high as
3 to / favorites and the fact that
Alexander was whipped in his first
start-that's what beat them" said
Hug" He elaborated:
"They had heard We were a lot of
cripples, little short OF pushovers.
They watched us practice. noticed
perhaps that few Of us limped and
that Lazzeri's throwing arm was
bad, but, and this is important-wc
seemed to be able to play little
snappy ball.
I'VE gothic jump at the start, be-
hind Hoyt, and they became even
more convinced all that had been
said about us in advance wasn't
quite true. This upset them.
''Then to cap the climax, Alex,
upon whom they banked so heavily,
didn't show us a thing. He had
trimmed us before, and l think the
Cardinals counted on him more than
any other pitcher. They didn't get
over that setback"
"Weli, Hug" some one suggested,
''your outfit ought to be sitting pref
ty we'll next year after getting
through this tough season."
Maybe" replied Hug he again
was conservative and taciturn, side
stepping any predictions.
"You never can tell what will
happen. Maybe we will be all right,
and maybe we won't. A lot can hap
pen. I'm not going to do any worry
ing about that for some time. I've
had enough worries to last me for
the winter"
The little Yankee boss 10 known to
be considering some rebuilding. new
ertheless. At least he intends to
have the second line ready whenever
any of the regulars slip.
A change at third base, the prob
able replacement of one oH two of
the present reserve backstops, Ora
bowski and Collins, as we'll as addi-
lions to the pitching corps. will be
considered later on.
The Yankees have two young In
field recruits coming from the Oak
land club of the Pacific Coast league
--Lyn Larry and Jimmy Reese. They
have other talent marked for future
delivery.
Anything can happen. as Hug
points out, but it is quite clear that
the Yankees do not intend to sit
back and enjoy their laurels. When
the roll call is sounded next spring
Higgins will demand to be shown
before he leads the boys into another
pennant tussle.

GRID UNDERDOGS
FAVORED TO WIN
Football DoormaS Of West Have
Chance for First Time

Chicago, Oct. II CP-The football
doormats of the western conference
will have their chance Saturday to
prove that no longer are they step
ping stones to gridiron titles. For
the first time in recent years Indi-
ana, Ohio State and Iowa will
enter their first conference game, not
only favorites to win but as contend
ers for the Big Ten championship.
Despite bear stories out of the In
diana camp, the Hoosiers are given
the edge DER the rookie Michigan
eleven that went down to defeat last
week at the hands of Ohio Wesleyan.
Trcbaugh, veteran Indiana guard. is
definitely out of the game. and it is
doubtful If Reinhardt. who scored
the only touchdown against Okla
homa last Saturday, will be in the
lineup.
Though Iowa has managed to de-
feat Chicago only once and tie the
Maroons on another occasion in their
IL gridiron contests, she will enter
Saturdays fray a slight favorite.
That favoritism comes because of
Mayes McLain. 20 pound Indian
fullback, and the much heavier Iowa
forward wall. McLain scored 235
points in g games at Haskell in
1926 and showed some of his old
tiln form against Monmouth last
week, although in the game only a
few minutes.
OF the three erstu hile door mats,
Ohio State appears to have the
h; rdest assignment / Dici: Hanley's
Northwestern Wildcats. Jack Wiice
will be pitting a strong line against
Hanley's versatile backfeld. Injuries
took its toll in the Ohio camp yes
tcrday when Hard Eruskamp, full
back, who only recently returned to
the squad after a knee injury, again
injured the knee and was declared
out of Saturdays game.
What Pest" Welch and Purdue
will do to Minnesota is more or less
conjecture. - Much depends on
Welch's knee that did not perform
any too Well after being injured last
season. But that injury was after
the boilermaker back ripped open
the Harvard line for three touch
downs. He is said to be back in
form this fall.
While Coach Jimmy Phelan has
been sending his varsity against
Minnesota plays. DIR. Spears has been
trying to determine his best back
field at Minneapolis. On day Bron-
ko Nagurski appears fixture in the
line and the next day Spears decides
he would be more valuable in the
backfield.

Rogers Bowling Team
Loses Three Straight

Rogers Recreation bowlers expert
enced disastrous evening in the
state league play with the Walling-
ford team last night when the WISH
tors took three matches and won
in total pinfall by a margin of IS
pins. The New Britainites were not
in their usual spectacular form and
dropped down considerably in their
team play. j. Saunders hit high
single with a mark of 13S while
Cream hit 369 for high three strings.
This gave Wallingford total honors
for the night. The scores:
