RAY BARbUT| ASKS A. A. U.L|FT TABOO
Olympic Champion Given Hear
 ing on Requested Reinstatement

New York, Oct 23.-lPl-The fast-approaching indoor track and field season may witness the return to competition of Ray Barbuti, Olympic 400-meter champion.
 Suspended last February for "bringing the amateur athletic union into disrepute," Barbuti's ap- plication for reinstatement now is under consideration" by the regis traton committee of the Metropoli- tan association, A. A. U.
 The former Syracuse quarter-miler appeared before the committee last night to show cause why he should be reinstated, but neither he nor the committee would comment as to what transpired at the conference. Definite approval or rejection of the application will be made later by the committee.
 Barbuti was suspended after he had made derogatory remarks con- corning the A. A. L. and cast re- Elections on the amateur status of a number Of unidentified athletes whom he charged were receiving ex- pense money in excess of their actual expenditures.

New York, Oct. tP) - They thought Victoria Maria Campolo was about the last thing in foreign man. mountains.
 Six fet, six and one-half inches tall and weighing 230 pounds, he was supposed to be the biggest in cap tivity.
 But now Victoria proves to be just another over-sized invader compared to Primo Camera, the Genoa Giant, who has cast menacing shadow over the home pugilistic field. Primo is a mere six feet, ten inch es in height and weighs an even 260 pounds.
 This business of importing big boys from foreign lands began in earnest about seven years ago when vital statistics pertaining 10 his height and weight were six feet, two and one-half inches, and 220 pounds, respectively
 The transatlantic trail became popular with the large men in sub sequent years leading up to the cur rent peak season. Primo really should be credited to 1928, though, since he was all set to sail then but had to wait until they could rip out a bulkhead and build him special made-to- order stateroom. That's a tip straight from his ad- vance agent.
 Primo may be saved for the 1930 outdoor season. You can write your l own explanation for that one.

 Handle Slippery Pi6skin
tcur League F Planned.

The battle will be played in New Haven Friday after noon.
 According 10 information which Coach George NJ. Cassidy has rcCciV- ed from Dr. Joseph Potts, Halfback Richie" Fink will be in condition to start the game. The player him. self, expresses to be in condition to play and if he is, the entire regular team will be in there at the first kick-o off.
 Practice With Wet Ball
 The squad held a two hour prac- tice in the pouring rain last night and was given q thorough drill in handing a slippery football. The backfield men did a remarkable jof in clinging to the oval, and if any of the games remaining on the slate has to be played in the rain the boys should be able to take care of the ball and avoid fumblos.
 Fink was not out with the tean yesterday afternoon, but it is prob | able that ho will start practice to | day. In a light practice yestcrda! ! the regular line was present and the i six regular backs were shifted abou, Ross played at quarterback and Mid ! dleton was the right halfback. Kloi 1 bcr alternated at left halfbacll anC | fullback and Carlson held the las named position when Kloiber wa not there. Two others shared tn left halfback place. They wer Frank Pee Wee" Zaleski and And | Wesoly.
 Use New Haven Plays Yesterdays practice was what 1 termed dummy practice. The boy were given defensive formations fo the Hillhouse plays and no tacklin was done The bacllfield and lin will probably work out the new for ward pass defense in the practic sessions today and tomorrow.

 CT Will Be Setting In.

Lionel M. Depot, coach of track at the New Britain High school, is having his troubles in getting his cross country team going this fall. He announced yesterday afternoon after the regular practice of the team had been completed that runs will not be held until further notice. The boiler in the Trade school shower room. which has been fur nishing water for the runners, has been torn out and new one is be- ing installed.
 It will probably take at least two weeks for the new boiler to be in- stalled and by that time it will be so near the close of the season tha, the runners will hardly get tho kinks out of their legs before the! will have to stop running. The nep gymnasium will not be completed by the time the cross country sea. son is finished. This will necessitat' another lay-off until spring. i Yesterdays run was the second of the season and the boys had jus | gotten over their first lameness Now they will have to break theil muscles in again.

NEW YANKEE PILOT FACES TOUGH TASK
ShaWkey, Signing Today, Must Virtually Rebuild Whole Team

New York, Oct. 23 (UP) Robert J. Shawkey--Bob the Gob-signed his name on a dotted line today and became the manager of the New York Yankees.
 Back from q hunting trip in the Canadian woods, Shawkey conferred with Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, and Secretary Ed Bar row regarding efforts to rebuild tkn Yankees for the 1880 pennant race.
 Three of the most important mat ters confronting Shawkey were:
 G),-Strengthening the pitching staff.
 (2).--Re- arranging the Yankee infield.
 (3).-Finding a successor for Bob Meusel
 Thirteen years a mainstay on the Yankee staff himself. Shawkey un- doubtedly will devote a large share of his attention to bolstering that department.
 Pitchin gstan Shaky With Herb Pennock, Waite Hoyt 1 Tom Zachary all in the uncertain class, the Yankee pitching prospects are none too bright. Pennock ap- pears almost through. Hoyt showed signs of faltering last season. Zach ary, despite his weird record of 12 victories and no defeats, has been cheating the minor leagues for twd years.
 Shawkey needs a pair of good pitchers-and he needs them badly to go with George Pipgras, Roy l Sherid and Ed Wells. Sherid looked like one of the coming great pitch CTS of the American League during 1 the last weeks of the 1929 season.
 Shawkey Stands By kocnig The left side of the Yankee In :. field is up in the air. There has been talk of Mark Koenig, the bril-. | liant rookie of 1926, being traded to l Detroit. Such is not likely since | Shawkey has a world of faith in | koenig. They were roommates when l Koenig first joined the Tanks. They ! lldNc llullttl loStlIItI. SDlld " hfS IS counting on Koenig to come back and plug the shortstop gap.
 Tony Lazzeri may be shifted from second to third-weakest link in the Yankees last season. If Lazzeri should blossom into a stellar third sacker, Leo Durocher may be used at second base.
 There are any number of other combinations which may be tried before Shawkey finds the infield he wants. There is a likely looking rookie, Ben Chapman, coming up from St. Paul who may break iu at third Julian Vera is another third base candidate.
 New Outficlder Needed
 The departure of Bob Meusel ta Cincinnati, leaves left field open tc an aspiring, hard hitting youngster Dusty Cooke, the St. Paul rookie who led the American Association in bat tng. may be the right party.
 Sam Byrd, who subbed for Babe Ruth last season, is another candi, date for the left field berth.
 Another addition to the Tank. may be Eugene (Bubbles) liar grave, veteran catcher, who manag. ed St. Paul last year and staged 2 great comeback after being released in 1927 by Cincinnati.
 The choice-manage of St, Pau or coach and reserve catcher witt the Yankees-is said to be up tt Hargrave himself.
 Two veteran Tank receivers, Ben ny Bengough and John Grabowski soon may be sent to the minors Bengough, who has had more harc luck than any player in recent years had his career blighted by a sor arm.

NARSTERS PROVES
 VERSATILE FELLOW
Heads Bremen, Sells Clothing Delivers Needed TOuChdoWns

Hanover, N. H.. Oct. 23.-UP)- When Hanover's fire alarm toots, Al Marsters leads his volunteer com- pany into action.
 When q Dartmouth student wants to buy a suit, he drops into the col lege store and the chances are that Al Marsters will wait on him.
 When, during summer vacation, a student decides to take a trip to Bermuda, Al Marsters makes and carries out all arrangements on a personally conducted basis.
 And when the score is tied and Big Green" football fans are yelling for a touchdown, this same Al Marsters, versatile fellow that he is, generally obliges with an alacrity that has won him the nickname Special Delivery"
 A large place in the football sun will be occupied next Saturday by Alton Kimbal Marsters, the man Harvard must stop to conquer its ancient rival from the Hanover Hills. Already, in only four games this season, this 21-year old captain and quarterback has raced across rival goal lines 13 times and booted fl extra points 10 amass a total of 92 points for his team and clinch the honor of being the nations highest scorer.
 Played with Harvard Star Marsters is product of the Arlington, Mass, high school where he began his gridiron career in 1923 first at center and later at quarter back. Subsequently,, at Exeter aca- demy, he played in the same back field with Tommy Gillgan, one of | the stars of the Harvard eleven that will try to cage Marstcrs next Sat | urday
 Dartmouth's captain is distinctly a | triple threat. The 30 touchdowns that he has scored for the Big Green 1 in less than two and a half seasons | testify to his ll-carrying ability 1 His prowess as a forward passer wa! best demonstrated in the Cornel game of 1927 when he tossed 1. completed passes, four of which leC to touchdowns. His kicking tech nique is reflected by the fl extr; points he has scored in only foul games this year.
 Has Pct Expectations
 Marsters' speed as an open fielt runner has made him an outstand ing figure on the gridiron. Bill Nc Carthy, my old track coach at Ar lington high, taught me how tc run" he said. Though the Dart mouth star weighs 1S0. his bulk il woll-distributed over a taperint form.
 Like many another celebrity 0 the sports world, Marsters is super stitious. He insists on wearing mum Der four on his jerseyed back. H. makes 1t a point to be last out 0 the locker room, both before gam time and after the -halve pep talk. And, shabby though the, are, he still wears the same hip pad allotted to him in his sophomor year.
