playing the South Dakota Aggies. while the University of North Da- kota meets the North Dakota Aggies. The universities won both argu- ments last year.
 Georgia Tech, with another pow erful team, should win from North Carolina's less experienced outfit. but the Tarheels can never be held lightly. and Vanderbilt, hailed as one of the Southern Conferences best elevens, may have its hands full ! with Virginia, team evidently able to rise above the handicap of in1ur- ies to key men. Georgia, evidently somewhat below its sensational form of 1927. seems likely 10 have some points shaved from its Sl to de- feat of Tulane in their last encoun- ter. but should get the decision over the Greenies.
 In the far West. Washington and Oregon's Aggies will play at Seattle with no score from last year to vex the situation. The clash between Montana and Montana State was de- cided in 1927 by a close count of 6 to 0 in favor of the team from Mis- soula.
 Few of the contesting teams, East. West or South, may regard themselves as fin" before the start and the goblins of Halloween will get them if they don't watch out.

Col Ruppert Anxious to Have It RemodeIled Within Year So That 125, 900 Fans May Bs Accommodated - Gov. cred Stand May Encircle Entire Field.

New York. Oct. 23 N1The seat. ing capacity of the Yankee stadium is to be increased to 125.00O within a year if Colonel Jacob Ruppert. owner of the Yankees, has his way about 1t. The stadium will comfort. ably accommodate 72.0OO at present although more than that piled in to see ''crucial" double header be- tween the Yankees and the Phila. delphia Athletics late in the recent campaign.
 Although no definite plans have been made, Ruppert hopes eventual. iy to have the held completely circled by a covered stand. The first step in the program is to rs. place the present centerfield bleach. CTS with 8 concrete bleacher section, then an upper deck of wood will be built to discover if 1t will have any adverse effect on the lighting on the playing field itself. If players com. plain that the shadows are inter. fering with their handling of hit balls the upper deck will be torn away. Otherwise 1t will bs replaced later by . permanent concrete superstructure and similar changes will be made in tho right field sec. tion.
 If these plans go through the park will accommodate 126.000 for foot- ball or boxing and about 100000 for baseball. Ruppert hopes to have the improvements completed by late next year or in the spring of 1880.

 TICKETS 0VERS0LD
Applications Cut for First Time
 t4,000 Eltl Requests
Especial to the Hsrald)

New Haven, Oct. 23.-For the first time in the history of the an- nual Yale-Army grid classic the number of tickets applied for by season ticket holders has exceeded the tottal of seats available and 1t has been necessary to deny appli- cants their full requested allotments and refund some of their money. The total number of seats requested was Ss,s39, according to H. F.. Woodock, general manager of ath- letics, while there are only 74,7S6 spectators seats in the Bowl. leav- ing 14,05s requested tickets which cannot be granted. A heavy tn- crease in the number of tickets re- quired by the West Point athletic association is partly responsible for the situation.
 Tn order to meet this situation there has been a cutting of requisi- tions all along the line. Large numbers of alumni and under graduate applications are being cut. and it has been necessary to re- strict season ticket holders to two seats apiece. Those whoasked for this number are therefore receiving their full allotment. while appli- cants for larger blocks will have to content themselves with the same two each.
 We have endeavored to do every thing possible to provide tickets for the reserved seat games to those who attend and support the minor games" Mir. Woodcock states in . notice which has been mailed to ap- plicants for tickeets, but on this occasion we find it necessary to ask the season book holders to stand some of the cut along with the stu dents and alumni" Never before have the tickets been oversold on the closing night of applications.
 Ticketes for the game were mailed Saturday.

NU7MEGS FAVORED
 TO TRIM GIANTS
Locals Go to Hlliord With
 Goal Line UncrKsM

Because of its showing in previous games, the New Britain Nutmegs are favorites to defeat the Hartford Giants football team in the first of the inter-city series which is to bs played at the Velodrome in Hart ford Sunday.
 Two teams who are in the unde- feated class will be on the field when the New Britain and Hartford grid- ders meet. New Britain has been successful in four games and as yet no team has been able to put across a touchdown. Hartford has won its three starts and 1t also has an un- crossed goal line.
 Without doubt the Nutmeg team is better combination than any that has represented this city in years and a very good asset is in it's favor in that it has no player who takes all the stars limelight at the ex- pense of his fellow players. Give the team a good end to work with "unk" Conley and . good substitute halfback and New Britain should not have to worry about the team in any of tho games.
 Practically every position is equipped with substitute material as we'll as first class regular men. At center are two Of the best in the state, Joe Rogers and Red" O'Neil. O'Neil, the captain is also substitute tackle. Oscar Nanfeldt fills In very we'll at guard and Carl Brink will be the end reserve when Burns of Villa. nova joins the team.
 On the backheld are the -four horsemen" Radxewich. Buckley. Ba- lonki and Davis. The substitute quarterback is Turkey" Claire. for. mer New Britain high school cap- tain. The halfback substitute will be the new man and Bernie Conley and the fullback substitute is Happy" Griswold.
 With . team like that on the field 1t will be something to tell the world about if the Giants win Sunday. Probably the best bet on the Giant team is Hobby Hobson. its captain.

YANKEE STADIUM SEATING
 CAPACITY MAY BE ENLARGED
BOYS CLUB TEAM
 PICKED BY COACH kortleila, Schm,ir, Gohl Compaenone, Palpaliln Selected

Tony Kerelejza, Herman schmarr. Joe Goffa. Red" Compagnone. and Jake Parparian have been selected at least tentatively as regular mem bers of the first team by Coach Ray Anderson of the Boys club and formed the starting lineup last night as the first five skirmishcd against the Reserves. Anderson has his charges we'll advanced, and the outlook is for . lighter but possibly even faster team than that of a year ago.
 Goffa. who has made certain of the center position, was . regular last year but played in several po- sitions before being finally located in the pivotal circle. This year he has had a wide margin over all other candidates and it is around Joe that the club team is being built.
 Kerelejza is & slight youngster who made the grade only late last winter, but he is fast. can pass with the best, and possesses sure eye, particularly at critical moments. Paired with him is tall husky youngster who is virtually green material but has played in the var ious club leagues for several years, Playing with the Pythons, he waa one of the outstanding players in the city tournament last spring. Compagnone is young veteran, ] for despite his youthfulness he al. | ready has two years as captain of the Reserves and one year as . reg. ular guard on the first team behind him. Parparian has been an in. and-outer, having played with both the first and reserve teams for three years and moved around from one position to another. His one han. dicap has been too much individual play, but he seems to be submergtnl this now and seems fairly certain ot the second guard post.
 Walter Grusha and little Stanley Zembrowski will be available as sub stitute forwards and Joe Boukus al second center. while John Winteri appears to have secured for himself the position of ninth man on the ! squad.
 The Meriden State Trade school quintet has been booked as the first opponent of the club and will appear here on Monday night. November l9

John Compagnone. better known as Red" was elected captain of the Boys club senior basketball team last night. Red has been . member of club teams for several years. He explained the Reserves for two sea- sons and played on the first team regularly last winter. He Is a guard, but a scoring guard who makes his presence felt on the attack as we'll as the defense in almost every game. For several ballots last night there was deadlock between him and Joe Goffa, but Compagnone was the final choice.
 Stanley Zembrowski. diminutive forward, was moved back from the first to tho reserve team last night and was elected captain of the lat ter Size alone prevented this youngster from staying with the senior team. The chances of the Reserves became much bighter last evening with the return of Carl Mar holin. star guard of last winter.

|SHAKE.UP CERTAIN
 |NLINEUP 0F H. 5.
Coach Cassidy Determined to Make Shifts Today

Since the New Britain High school football squad did not hold q prac- tice session yesterday afternoon definite dope aa to what changes will be made in the backfield could not be learned. and it will not be known until the teams practice to- night.
 Coach George M. Cassidy has in- timated that he will make changes. but the only definite change he has announced is to replace . halfback k with Al Middleton, If the latter has completed his work by Saturday. Other men who are strong favorites for . place in the backfield are Billy Ross. a smart little quarterback who has been pivot around which the second team has worked all sea- son. Henry kraszewski without doubt ought to be in the first team backfield. He has proven his wol Il all season. but Coach Cassidy had a winning combination and it was not at all reasonable on his part not to break it up. Now the time has come and it is probably that the coach may experiment with Kras. zewski.
 It is probably that sowka, whose bunting has been a big asset to the team and Captain Landino will hold down backfield positions after the shakeup. Perhaps Sowka may be ovnd fc holfhacL uhora bo y,,;ut, be used to better advantage. He i: ransy and is a good tackler. In thai case Middleton, if he is eligible would be put in at fullback the posi- ton he held at Dean. Then the team would have a heavy line ramme with the 175 pound husky there. he is not eligible there is Herby Con eron, a heavy boy.
 Anoter change which Is needed il the backfield is a man who cal catch punts. The team has suffere' big losses this year because of tn fact that the safety man has let tn ball bound about while the othe teams ends run down the field a fall on it. Much of the distanc gained on Sowka's long punts va offset by this weakness.
 As far the the game is concerned the Coast Guard Junor varsity foot ball team should not be much of
 test for the Red and Gold tear when the teams play here Saturda, but it will be valuable as a workou for any new combination whic Coach Cassidy may deem the be. representation of the squad.
