 Last week the Blues defeated the Pioneer team easily and previous to that d victory was scored over the West Ends of Bristol. Manager Mays men have an ambitious pro- gram ahead of them and they are out 10 win by as large a score as possible III the Cubs game. The Manchester team has not been de- featod this year.
 7 The Blues manager says his team is anxious for a game with the Hart ford Giants. Having disposed of the only other Hartford team of ability. the team is anxious 10 take on the Giants.
 Followers claim the New Britain line IS just as heavy as that Of the Capital City. The three guards. Hook" Anastasio. Rcd Schultz. and Chester are all 200 pounders. Peck, "Buffalo" Sobicch. and Ne grolli. are all 1885 pound tackles: and J. Argosy. G. Puppel are IT" pound ccnters. The Blues are confident they can stop the Hartford team.
 The lineup for the Blues for Sun day will be as follows: Arrosy, ccn- ter: Anastasio and Schultz. guards: Beck and SoDiech. tackles: Wcstmah and l.. Puppel, ends; Fengler, quar- terback: Rehm and Casperini, half backs; and kayeslli, fullback.

megs take the field for the first game of the inter-city series for the so-called professional championship of the state.
 New Britain will go into the game with a big weight advantage. Hart ford's line will average about 1S5 pounds while New Britain's line will average 2O7 pounds at times and when some of the substitutes are in there the weight will be greater.
 Manager Zehrer will have strong reserve squad on the side- lines ready to go into tha game. At center, Captain O'Neil will be ready to fill in for Rogers. At guard will be Oscar Nanfeldt and at the tackles will be O'Neal or Cronin. At end Carl Brink will be called upon and at quarterback will be found "Tur. key" Claire.
 Howard Belser, a new addition to the team. will substitute at half back with Bernie Conley. The full- back substitute is Happy Gris- wold. a hard-hitting back who has shown world of stuff in the times he was in the games.
 Hartford is not as strong in sub- stitute strength and New Britain will be at an advantage in this re. spect.

Missouri and Nebraska
 Clash in West Today

Lincoln. Neb.. Oct. 2I.-UP)- Missouri and Nebraska, faNorites 10 win the big six conference cham pionship. meet here today in a game which probably will decide the title.
 The teams are rated about equal edge over the Tigers from a physical standpoint. Three consecutive vic tories over Nebraska in the last three years gives the visitors the psycho- logical adantase, but the Tigers will be handicapped by the absence of Reecf, star fullback.

Coach George T. Cassidy after three. days of work with his high school football squad has decided upon the lineup which he will use in the game with the Coast Guard Junior Varsity team this afternoon. The game will start at 2:so o'clock.
 He has shifted Mike Grip from his regular position to left half back and has substituted Henry Kraszewski in his place at center. Instead of using Bill Kuhs, regular guard from last year and a regular 50 far this season, he has decided to again start Mikalauskas in his place. Dumin will also be started at guard. leaving Potts, regular up until two games %. on the side lines. However. the coach is figur- ing on using Potts early in the game because. he believed the freshman husky has shown great improve ment. Potts is in good physical con- dition so this will also be a point in his favor.
 The backfield will be the same as that of last week with the exception of Kraszewski. Middleton is in- eligible this week but he will be ready for the New Haven Hillhouse game a week from today. He will probably take Alex Zaleski's place at haifback. but if Zaleski shows up better than Kraszewski it is possi- ble that Zaleski will stay in the lir cup and Kraszewski will be re- placed.
 Fans are anxious 10 see how well Krnszewski works out tn his first chance to start a game. There have been followers who all season have proclaimed him the leading high school halfback. but he was not in enough games to prove his worth. He is very efficient at taking man out on an end run or off-tacklc plan and Is fast on his feet.
 Coach Cassidy is also planning on using Bill Ross at quarterback and shifting Landino to half back so that Ross could try end runs if the team is not successful on line smashes and forward passes.

BASEBALL JARGON PAINTS PICTURES My Not & BdUyins But It
 Tells the Story

Baseball is the liveliest language in the world today. Compared to 1t golf. horse racing, prize fighting. circus and railroad are expression less. None of the undictionaried languages touch it in richness of expression and terseness.
 The men who write and talk base ball stop at nothing. They follow the theory that the best language is that which conveys the meaning most clearly and they adapt from English. French. German. Chinese and other languages and when these fail to fit the occasion they adopt and invent g word of their own. Everyone who knows baseball understands exactly what they mean, no matter what they write or say and regardless of the fact that Noah Webster might scratch his head for a week trying to think what they meant.
 Some of the old time sport writ CTS were known for their classics concerning baseball games. Joe Campbell of Washington was really the Shakespeare of baseball. He wrote classics, short stories and was one of the cleverest dramatic criti- cisms in the country yet the editors of the paper he worked for were re- peatedily forced to request him to write his baseball articles in straight away English. In describing strike out, Campbell would say ''the batter carved three hicks in the weather"
 An abstract from one of his stor- ies read as follows:
 The glass armed toy soldiers from New York were fed to the pigs yesterday by the cadaverous Washington grave robbers. They stood around gaping like . hen on hot rail while the basilisk cattle drivers from Washington ran bases till their tongues were long with thirst. Hickel had more errors than Coins Financial School" Washing ton was bad enough but New York couldn't have fallen out of . boat and landed in the water"
 Lennie Washburn. who met death in a railroad accident. was past master of the art of comparison in baseball One day a batter shot A fast one past third. The grass was bit high and the ball. instead of bounding. hugged the ground. The next morning Washburn wrote. Tt sounded like the hired man eating celery" Speaking of a pitcher the favorite expression of WaShburn was that the hurler was jobbing them across the plate.
 The common expressions used ir baseball are countless and almost every sports writer has his own page of undictionaried expressions Nevertheless real American news paper readers never fail to un- derstand what is meant.
 It has often been said that the jargon of professional baseball is necessary in the forecasting and re- porting of tho games to attract and sustain the attention of the read CTS,

eran forward wall. As a result a clash of the two team promises to be one of the outstanding gridiron attractions of the season.
 Iowa's star is Mayes McLain, blonde. good looking young giant who chose. by coincidence, to transfer his pursuit ot education to Iowa at the very time Coach Burton 1ngwersen needed holy terror at fullback. Bronko Nagurski, Minne- sota's hope, hasn't changed schools but you didn't hear of him at Min nesota last season because Coach C. w. Spears had Herb Joesting.
 Nagurski-NlcIain
 If you don't remember Joesting consult Addison Sims of Seattle. Not that it matters. for Joesting was last years all-America fullback. and we're interested in this year's--and it may be Nagurski or McLain.
 McLain and Nagurski can demon- strate as well as any professor that a straight line is the shortest dis tance between two points. In fact. they have been quite efficient about it. The two points they favor for their demonstrations are the spot where the ball is snapped to them and the spot where they make the touchdown. It doesn't matter whose line is in front of them; they prove it's the shortest route.
 The two rivals have been giving examples of the soundness of their thory all season and no one doubts that they will rejoice over the op- portunity 10 compare notes in such Saturday.
 Strong IOrwari Walls
 In carly season games the two athletes have each averaged in cX- cess of five yards advance every time they carried the ball. This rec ord has not been acquired against weak lines. the class of opposition apparently making little difference. Each, it is true, has been materially aided by powerful forward wall opening holes. Iowa and Minnesota have more than their share of hus- kies for the scrimmage line and boast lines which compare favorably with any in the conference. What will happen, when these stone wall lines test their mettle against each other promises to be highly interest ing.
 Iowa's eighth blood Cherokee Indian has physical advantage over his rival, standing 6 foot 2 and tipping the scales at 215 pounds, and appears to have an edge over Nagurski on offensive play. The margin lies in his ability as punt CT, forward passer and broken field runner, the Gopher being almost strictly d line plunger. However. Na- gurski makes up for this difference in that he apparently is much bet ter defensive player than the Indian. Bronko-Incidentall the nomencla- ture is the way he was christened and not a nick name-is the best defensive backfield man in the con- ference. He backs up a line like mo- hody's business and has few rivals on forward pass defense.
