game at Willow Brook park tomor-

Beyond any question Of . doubt
the New Haven team should give
New Britain hard battle and II New
Britain does not play up to it, best
form 1t will take q beating. One
thing should be impressed on the
minds OF the boys and that 10 to con-
tinue fighting even though the New

New Britain's chances In the game
will depend first on the line. In this
department the followers can feel
fairly confident that this will be we'll
taken care of by the seven men
chosen for the task. The second will
depend upon how well the backheld
conducts its line smashing attack. In
this respect the chances do not ap-
pear to be 10 bright because the New
Haven line is reputed to be . strong

victory will depend on the forward
passing attack between eowka and
Landino who alternate 1t thrower
and receiver. The fourth will be the
off-tackle smashes of Al Middleton
and the fifth is the end-running Of
Billy Ross who. according to Coach
George M. Cassidy. 10 the fastest
backfield man on the squad. The
sixth chance 10 Sowka's ability to
out-punt his opponent, but it is hop

overdone because 1t will work to the
disadvantage OF the New Britain
team defensively.
If New Britain displays a heavy,
strong line defense. it will invite q
forward passing attack from New
Haven just as 1t did In the Stamford
game. Incidentty the Stamford team
accepted the invitation and scored a
victory in the last quarter. II New
Britain is not strong in its defense
of the forward pass 1t will find his
tory repeating itself in the game to-
morrow.
The time is growing short before
the Hartford High school game. Two
weeks from tomorrow the New Brit

own field. A comparison of the two
teams may be made by tomorrow's
game.

BY BOB MATHERNE

NEA Service Sports Writer
During those years when Red
Grange was doing his famous gal
Looping for Illinois, the task of Sc
lecting a couple of halfbacks TO at
tach the All-America tag to was
relatively simple.
The job was so per cent easier
than it has been since he deserted
the Illinois campus. When about to
pick an All-America squad in those
days, one automatically started with
the halfback berths and Immediate
ly dropped the name Grange at one
spot. One eleventh of the job was
done. Perhaps. two-clevenths, for
ether haltback really didn't matter.
Since those days thu COB OF plac-
ing All-America captions on just two
halfbacks has been hard and it
seems to be getting harder each
year.
The 1926 selections were not cas-
lily made. Perhaps Morton kaer of
Southern California was favorite
with the ma jority of experts, but
making a decision from the rest of
the field was rather difficult. Some
liked Baker of Northwestern,
Bogue OF Stanford. Wilcox Of Pur-
due, Kelly of Montana and Wilson
Of Lafayette Just as much as kaer.
Even in 1927, when Gibby WEIGH
and Bruce Caldwell ran away With
practically all the nominations, the
Il q
STEERS of Dartmouth. Flanagan of
Notrc Dame, Pr"sncll of Nebraska
and flock of others had their par
/ ticular boosters. The job. in fact,
necessitated d lot OF thinking and
note gathering.
This year, TANKS to Al Marsters
at Dartmouth, the task seems to be
as easy As during the good old days
of Red Grange.
| Malstcls, to be sure, is not certain
| Of being chosen All-America unanl-
mousiy. but who. may We ask. is
any more certain of d berth on that

New York, Nov. 8 P-The
seventh Saturday OF the current
football campaign will carry only
handful OF unbeaten teams into bat
tie. Most of the headhners already
lave tasted the dregs of defeat and
now are concerned chiefly with saw
ing what they can from the wreck
age.
Four of the five undefeated and
united elevens swing into action,
Boston College waiting until Monday
to battle Fordham. Georgetown
n. u, the only game OF the day be-
tween teams neither beaten nor tied.
Georgetown's chief victory was over
New York University. Carnegie has
beaten Pittsburgh.
Army. heading for an eastern and
perhaps a national championship,
will need to be at its best to subduv
Notre Dame at the Yankee Stadium.
Nillanova, fifth on the list OF lead
ers, tackles Temple.
Among the teams tied but not
beaten, only c. c. N. Y. seems IN
particular danger. The New York
ers must take on Norwich and find
a way to stop Grey Coane, star end
OF the Vermont eleven, who now
stands 18th among the eastern scor-
ers.
Princeton, twice tied. should win
decisively from Washington and Lee.
All the rest of those who got no
worse than = draw should win
Lowell Textile, Grove City. Canisius
and the Connecticut Aggies.
One OF the feature battles of the
day, incidentally, brings together
Navy and Michigan which have
shared seven defeats between them
These two rivals meet at Baltimore
with the midshipmen confessing to
three defeats and the Wolverines TO
four.
Harvard entertains Pennsylvania
At Cambridge in another outstanding
battle while the other members of
the one-time big Three" Yale and
Princeton are taking on Maryland
and Washington and Lee.
Dartmouth trounced Brown by -
to Z last season but may find the
going more difficult this year. Jesee
Hawley will have most of his regu-
lars back in the lineup but Tess Nc
Laughry has a much better team at
Brown than he had last year. The
Oklahoma Aggies-West Virginia and
Syracuse Ohio Wesleyan games COM
plete the intersectional card.
Three ancient rivalries will be re-
newed in as many states. Lafayette
travels to New Brunswick to meet
Rutgers; Washington and Jefferson
invades the Painters lair to battle
Pittsburgh. and Wesleyan and Will
liams will put on the second Little
Three" duel of the season at Will
Jamestown. Bucknell. somewhat bat
tered by Villanova, hopes to regain
winning form at Lehigh's expense.
Most of the other major colleges
are taking time out to get their
second wind. Cornell plays st.
Bonaventure: Columbia tackles
Johns Hopkins: Colgate will take on
a pretty good Hobart aggregation:
N Y. u. would like to run up an
other IS to 0 score on Alfred: Penn
State hopes to win by more than
two touchdowns against George
Washington and thus improve the
1870 score Of 1927; and Holy Cross,

President Coolidge does not choose
to attempt its resumption.
There are too many subjects of

agree to justify breaking up over
questions about which there have

Against Wet Plank
Prompted by a desire to promote
harmony and concert Of action, it
is suggested that no wet plank be
inserted in our platform. 1t is true
that the democratic party is not a
prohibition party. Neither is il an
anti-prohibition party. Democrats
have always divided on the problem
of prohibition. Many sincerely adj
vocate prohibition as an economic
and moral measure. Others believe
that its tendency is to
lawlessness, advocate substantial
changes in the constitution and laws.
The fear that this convention will at

many southern democrats who favor
the continuance Of prohibition be-
cause OF the evidence Of its economic

the South. To ignore the practical
political aspect Of this question Is to
invite and encourage division in our
ranks, and TO submerge these funda-

who favor prohibition and are un-
willing to yield their views upon the
subject.
Tells Of Unity
Democrats are united for the de-
struction of corruption and for the
promotion Of honesty in govern
mental afafirs. We are united in
purpose TO enforce in good faith the
constitution and laws; to protect
honest business enterprises against
the unfair and oppressive methods Of
monopolies; to assure relief, too long
delayed, to the great agricultural in
~terests Of the nation to which the
republican party has brought bank
ruptcy and ruin.
Respecting these important sub
Jects there need be no division of
sentiment among democrats. We of
the South are happy to have n ma
tional democratic convention assem-
BILE in this typically southern city.
IL has often been said that demo-
Gratis In convention can be relied
upon to offset the plumbers and 70
heal the se~lf-inflicted wounds of the
republican party. Let Us disappoint
the expectation Of our adversaries
and realize the hopes Of faithful
democrats throughout the nation who
look to us for the exercise Of pru-
deace and wisdom. We must demon
strate willingness to enter into hon
orable compromises and to make per-
sonal sacrifices; otherwise the on
portunity which is i~mminent-the
opportunity for victory will Be

works today and shattered to pieces
the pillars Of a balustrade which
Rector Ladeuze desired TO have
erected instead Of the architects.
In recent days there have been
marches and countermarches % rep
resentatives Of the architect and the
rector over what inscription shall
be placed over the restored struc-
ture. Mr.. Warren has held out
strongly for the original inscription
reading in part destroyed by G-E-
man fury" while the rector and
those who support him have con
tended that this would serve merely
to revive war hatreds.
Sc strongly did Rector Ladeuze
feel about the matter that he had
a balustrade constructed duplicating
the one designed by Mr.. Warren, but
emitting TIE inscription.
Mr.. Warren returned TO Paris and
the matter rested temporarily while
efforts were being made to straight
en- it out.
The new library was restored with
