.lQ8 FOOTBALL IS
 LINING UP GREAT
Army-NaVy Day May Become
 Even Greater Than of Tore

New York. Jan. e4 UP)-Al- though there may be no Army-Navy football game on November 2t, 1928. that date may turn out to be one of the most important Of the next grid iron season.
 Instead of the big classic between the two service elevens for the sea son's finale. there may be three col orful attractions with all members of The Big Three" the two acad- emies and one prominent western eleven as the participants. The probable lineup for that date follows:
 Harvard vs. Yale at New Haven. Navy vs. Princeton at Philadel- phia.
 Army vs. Nebraska at New York. | The Harvard Yale game falls on November 74 this year and prom ises to be Of more than traditional interest because of the bright pros poets for winning elevens at both in- stitutions.
 What may be the final effort to heal the breach between the two service institutions is now under way in Washington and if negotiations fail both academies are going to schedule the strongest and most de- sirable opponent available for the open date.
 It is generally accepted that if the navy does not play the Army, the Middies will meet Princeton. Be- cause of the previous cordial rela- tions between Princeton and the Naval Academy. the officials of both schools are said to favor the game. l A number of institutions have opened negotiations with West Point authorities for the Navy date. Ne braska. one Of the most colorful as we'll as powerful elevens in the mid west, is not only willing to meet the Army, but is making every. effort to close the date as soon as possible. | Southern Methodist university of Dallas. Tex. which perhaps has de- veloped the forward pass to a greater advantage than any other eleven in the country. wants to play the Army in a final game of the season Instead of the second game. | Army officials are said to be ser iously considering shifting the Southern Methodist game to Novem- Der 24 and scheduling another op- ponent perhaps Detroit university, on the vacant date.
 Illinois congressman want the Uni 1 versity Of Chicago to so after the date on Army's schedule, but NO far Alonzo stagg has taken no definite stand on the matter.
 Some one suggested a game be- tween Stanford and Army. but since the Trojans already have a post season game with Notre Dame all possibility of that proposal has been removed.

HAS CONTRACTS 0f TWO CHAMPS
Jim Mullen of Chicago Signs Up
 Walker and Mandell

Chicago, Jan. c4 (UP)-Jim Mul- len. Chicago fight promoter. today
 was in the choice position of having
 contracts for the services of Mickey Walker. middleweight champion. and Sammy Mandell, lightweight champion. both of whom have been ordered by the National Boxing as- sociation to defend their titles im-
 mediately.
 Mullen signed contracts for the
 services of the two some months ago
 but has not made any plans for fights.
 The Mullen agreement provided
 that the next title fights of the two
 shall be under his auspices and with the N. B. A. ruling that both must defend their titles before February
 lG. it apepars Chicago is to have two
 championship bouts.
 The N. E. A. ordered Mandell to pick an opponent from a group com- posed of Sid Ferris, Billy Wallace. Kid Kapian. Bruce Flowers, Billy Petrolle or Joey Kaufman. Walkers opponent must be from group composed of Jack McVey. Dave
 Shade. Joe Anderson. George Court ney or the winner of the bout be- tween Phil kaplan and Maxie Ros- cnbloom.
 Although none Of the fight plans have been drawn and neither of the
 boxers has commented on the N. E. X. ruling, it seemed certain that Mandell would not choose Bill Pe- trolle for his next championship fight.
 Recently Mandell went 10 Minne-
 apolis to meet Petrolle. who comes from Fargo, N. D. In that fight he
 had about as much to handle as he
 has ever had. Petroile scored heav- lily in the early rounds and at about the middle of the fight shot a right
 to Mandell's head that sent him
 champion to the ropes. Mandell re-
 covered in the late rounds. however,
 to win the decision.

BOYS CLUB WHIPS 70RRINGT0N TEAM
Gill and GoGa High Scorers in
 Runaway Game

Another basketball team fell from
 the ranks Of the undefeated last
 night when the Boys club quintet
 administered sound 47-c0 drubbing to the Torrington Comets in 2 one sided but fast and interesting game
 at the local club last evening. The visitors, who had won all six games
 played before last night, were handi- capped by the absence of two men, but the club met it on even terms by retaining kley and Silva on the
 bench for three quarters of the
 contest in order to work out it's conn.,
 bination for Boston and 10 rest kley for his game tonight.
 The club led after the first two
 minutes. F. Daily made the first point
 for the visitors when he was fouled
 shortly after the opening whistle,
 and it was the only point Torring-
 ton scored in the first quarter. With two minutes and Is seconds gone
 Joe Gotfa plunked in . field goal to send New Britain ahead. Gill
 made another and Goffa a foul.
 Fouls by Kley and Gill were followed by another basket by the latter when Goffa broke up pass in beauti- full shape and passed to his captain
 under the basket. Joe himself made 1 il 11-1 before the period ended. Zujko replaced kley as the sec
 ond period started. After 30 seconds Hull caged a shot from far up the floor and made another of the same variety after Benjamin had found the hoop. This period was fought a l little more evenly and ended with New Britain in front by 2l-9. My
 cock of the visitors was elected on
 fouls during the quarter. Gill and Goffa began to pile up the score as the third period got under way, and
 the tally was 32-15 at its close. The last quarter saw thenHrunning wild
 and getting five baskets between
 them. while Grusha. who had en-
 tered the game. made two further
 double -deckers for the locals. This pGlIOu ASNSiOpCu llSV A otu uG hASA and the score would have been even higher had not the club players
 missed d. number of easy shots. Gill played his usual excellent floor game and got back into the
 scoring with vengeance, piling up IS points in brilliant shooting ex- hbition. Goffa accumulated Is. but his main contribution to the victory was his exceptional work in break-
 ing up the passes of the visitors. Zuiko played a most creditable game and held the towering Hull on even terms at jumping. He is proving a worthy successor to kley. The de- fensive play of Compagnone was the best he has shown this season and gave the ball to New Britain after almost every shot taken by the Com cts. For the visitors, Hull featured
 with four beautiful shots from the
 middle of the court, with r. Daily
 playing a nice floor game. The sum- mary:

TAYLOR SLATED ID
 FIGHT HAMILTON
IerryYiue Boy Meets Phladd. phia Sensation in Tourney

Ray Taylor, blpnd-thatched anna teur scrapper from Terryville. who has performed pleasingly in tbs city on numerous occasions. is due to meet the toupghest opponent Of his reer at the Tabs hall in this city Friday night at the amateur boxing tournament of the Mohawk A. C.. according to available information. He is scheduled to fight Bob Ham, ilton of Philadelphia, lightweight, who only recently handed Pancho Villa Of Hartford terrific beating in a Hartford ring. Hamilton will be one Of four amateur boxers from the Quaker City who will furnish the sensations of the fistic program which is being prepared.
 In his fight with Villa, Hamilton sent the Capitol City boy down al- most at will. displaying a punching power that has made him g marvel to the Hartford fans. Taylor is in the best condition possible and he promises real scrap against the Philadelphian.
 Frank Columbo of Windsor Locks, the most promising 140 pounder n the state who won 50 handily from Rollo Roland of Waterbury in the last tournament, will trade punches with Ted Morgan of Philadelphia. Morgan Is classy boxer and | hefty puncher. Johnny Clinch has entered in the 145 pound class and he will probably be stacked up against Al McGurk. clinch will have to be at his best to beat the Phila- delphia scrappcr as he is one of the toughest men on Johnny's list.
 The main bout brings Bishop Hart. a colored boy. who has been creating a sensation in the l65 pound class in Pennsylvania. Up to the present time. Bill ,Bruno of Springfield is the only other entry in the class. but officials of the Mo- hawk A. c. expect Joe Howard, former middleweight champion. and Jack Kelly of Waterbury. present middleweight champion. to file ap- plications today. Whether either or both will enter the tournament ahts week will be definitely settled to- day. .an announcement will be made tomorrow.
 The remainder of the card which will include 10 bouts in all. will be announced tomorrow. and it will be worthy of the four main bouts fea- turing the Philadelphia visitors. The first bout of the night will take place at S:30 o'clock.

 The apparent tendency Of baseball big business to rearrange its valua- ton on stars seems to have entered into the Speaker case. as it did with Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby. George Sisler and others who have switched their affiliations. or had them switched since last season closed.
 Clark Griffith, owner of the Wasl- ington club, announced here yester- day that unless Speaker voluntarily reduced his own salary on or before February 1, he would be given his unconditional release.
 Iris, in Birmingham, en route 10 South Carolina for a hunting trip, said he would make no overtures 10 the Senators with regard to cutting his own pay. Unless Griffith sends me a contract by February l.' he said. T will automatically become a free agent"
 The Washington owner declared that he told Speaker at the close of last season he could not again pay him his present salary. ''l told him {p1, nj, nd that I would help him." he added. Montreal and Jersey City have made advances to Speaker regarding q managersllip, Griffith said.
 Speakers Birmingham interview disclosed that he had no plans in re- gard to a minor league managerial role. although he did say the com ing season would find him back ill uniform somewhere.

Steve Pierce got away from his man and was on the way to sueaking q goal past Bill Blount when Alexan- der dove at him g distance of fully le feet. Alexander stopped the goal aii right. but in 50 doing. he threw out his left knee and the leg ham, s,prru him greatly last night.
 He has switched over from first ,o second rush until his leg is on .Ac mend. Boucher played the spot position in last nights game.
 Jette. Waterbury goal tender. in- jurcd his knee in stopping B play last night. It Is peculiar injury and may lay him up. though he has re- fused to quit. The knock he re- ceived behind the ear that rendered him unconscious last Saturday night has also affected him somewhat, and it may be necessary for him to rest for A time.
 The Chrysler and Nash teams will play the preliminary game ill the amateur league next Thursday night. The league started last night and the game was surprisingly fast.
 Basketball Is on the down grade in Merideu and for that reason the next game between the Silver City Endeey and the New Britain team will be played in this city. An agree ment on this was reached last Sat urday night between Manager Clar- ence Lsnpher and Manager Jack Curry.
 Attendance at the roller hockey games at the Stanley Arena is keep ing up and a surprisingly large number of fans turned out for the first game on Sunday. Doleful pre- dictions at the beginning Of the sea son that the success being met in sports would not last, seems to have been made little bit too early.
 According to all the shouting from Philadelphia, quartet of Co nectl- cut amateur boxers are due to bite the dust here Friday night when four Quaker City boys swap punches with them at the Mohawk A. C. tournament at the Tabs hall. Those Connecticut boys who are matched with the visitors feel very differently about the entire affair.
