DILLWYN, Va.-(by Thomas l..

many of its rural schools are kept
open on an average of only five
months in year. -.- -

not been paid all of their salaries for
the previous year.
Educational facilities for Negroes
are worse as you go further South.
There are two counties in Georgia
having 90 cGloled children of school
age who have never attended any

The old Manassa Mauler met Tex
Richard yesterday in a conference
widely ballyhooed as Of momentous
import but both said after the meet

but boxing. Tex said Dempsey might
talk about the question of coming
back to the ring At dinner party
later in the day but added that moth
ing would be given out for publica-
ton for several days at least.
Whatever the situation actually is.
close followers of the ring are GER
tain that the former heavyweight
champion again will don the gloves
and do what he can to restore public
interest in the caulifower industry
and, it may be added increase his
bankroll by half a million or more.
They believe Dempsey will prob
ably return to the ring at one of
New York's bali parks next summer,

EXPERTS MAKING

Princeton Expected to. AEmSe
Itself on Yale Saturday

New York. Nov. IL R-The indi-
cations seem to be that those who
got slapped in football = year ago
will do little slappinx on their own
hook this Saturday.
Yale's beatings BY Army and
Maryland have pushed Princeton in
to the favored position as Tiger apd
Bulldog prepare for their 52nd clash
at Princeton. Princeton's record is
scarcely impressive. marred as 1t Is
by ties with Virginia and Ohio State
but at least the Tigers have avoided
defeat.
The fact that the experts are pick
ing Princeton to avenge Its 1915 de-
feat by the Ellis last year does not
necessa rily mean that that's the way
II will turn out. The experts. under
going. constant punishment. have
l!ttle reason to congratulate them
selves on their predictions thus far
this topsy-turvy season.
Cornell has the bitter memory of
a humiliating s3-7 beating to take
into its coming battle with Dart
mouth and the odds are no worse
than even money that Gil Dubie's
squad can give the Indians their
fourth successive defeat.
Williams. now leading in the race
for the Little Three" title, is the
experts choice to down Amherst and
avenge 4 one-point defeat OF last
year LAFAYETTE IL conceded at least
an even chance Of beating Penn
state which trounced the Leopards.
40 to 8 In 1927. Nebraska's unde-
feated Cornhuskers will remember
their 31-13 defeat at Pittsburgh last
season when they take the field at
Lincoln against the Panthers.
Georgetown. beaten for the first
time by the smart and tricky Carne-
gle Tech eleven. has small hope of
repeating the $50 triumph 1t scored
over West Virginia, as good team
as the east can boast right now.
Bucknell will be favored to turn the
tables on Washington and Jefferson
which won. 1913 last year. and Wes-
leyan should have little trouble TAX
ing Bowdoin Into camp a year after
suffering a 3O-12 defeat.
Carnegie Tech and Notre Dame

certain November afternoon In
Pittsburgh two years ago when the
Tartans trampled an indicated
Rockne team into defeat 1870. Car
nexie will be stalking the undefeated

Once again two warning football
factions will clash when the Hart
ford Giants invade this city to meet
the Nutmegs at Memorial Field in
Willow Brook park Sunday after
noon. Crushed under New Britain's
attack three weeks aga, the Hartford
Giants have added seven new men
to their roster and the results were
very evident last Sunday when the
Capital City team played with the
Rochester eleven at the Velodrome.
At the same time. both Hartford
and New Britain are angling for
the services of Johnny Grip, former
Fordham U. star. He played in the
backfield with the Nutmegs last
Sunday but was unable to show a
great deal against the powerful
Stapleton line.
While Hartford scored . decisive
victory last Sunday and New Britain
was beaten for the first time. fol-
lowers of the Nutmegs are confident
that the series of two out of three
arranged between Hartford and New
Britain will be ended next Sunday
afternoon. New Britain's power was
ably displayed last Sunday against
the Staten Island team when the
"Stapes' we're able to score only
two touchdowns against the team
and these two through a series Of
breaks that gave them the advali-
tage.
New Britain has. at the present
time. a squad of % men giving the
club plenty of material with which
to work. Ed (BulD keenan,, former
Hartford and Waterbury guard. has
been added to the New Britain team
and he will probably see some ac-
ton Sunday afternoon. He got into
the game in the latter stages In
stapleton Sunday and was a source
of great strength in the line.
New Britain fans will turn out In
force Sunday afternoon to watch this
battle Of bitter rivals. The game wal
originally scheduled for last Sunday
but rain the Sunday before caused
a shifting of plans whereby New
Britain went to Stapleton and the
Rochester team came to Hartford.
