GETS
 SET FOR HOCKEY
Pirates to Have Much Stronger
 Team This Season

Pittsbu," Nov. 8 LP-Whi!. few hocko.' followers look upon Pittsburgh as q serious contender for major honors in the national league this season, the Pirates can be counted on to show more strength than last year in every dc. pertinent.
 Preseason indications are for improvement both offensively and defensively, and it is certain that Pittsburgh will have one of the fastest teams in the circuit.
 Owner Benny Leonard and Frank Frederickson, tempcramcntal center ice star who has been made player manager. did their hockey shopping carly and have brought back a sup ply of new material which. on p&- per and in the early training sn8- sions, seems certain to supply the power and punch that were sadly lacking last season
 The Pirates purchased Archie Briden, veteran center and captain of the Philadelphia Arrows of the Canadian American league, Bridon has been mp in the major league be- fore with the Boston and Detroit clubs. Bud Jarvis comes 10 Pitts burgh from~Port Arthur, champion Of the Canada. He is q forward who also can be used on the, de- fense.
 Norman Pridlaw and Oliver Red path, q tlashy pair Of defense play CTS, come from Winnipeg. They also have played on the Victoria club of the Pacific Coast league Owen Ahearn, who comes from the St Francis club, a Montreal amateur organization, will be tried out in I forward position.
 The veterans from last seasons squad form one of the fastest and ClcaneSt groups of players in tn" circuit. In the goal will be Joe Miller, obtained last year from the New York Americans in q trade for Roy WOrtcrs. Roger Smith, John ny McKinmon and Bert McCaffrty form an adequately husky dcfense trlO. HID NllkS can relieve Man ager Frcdoricksor at center as well as play left wing. Harold Darragh holder of the leagues clean play trophy, is one of the best right wngmcn in the business. On the second line are Jerry Lowery, Jeff wing; Tex White, right wing, and Herb Drury. center.
 The Pirates were recognized last year as one of the fastest skating clubs in the league. Frederickson looks for even moro speed .durin,, the 192930 campaign, which vii be played under rules putting I 1 premium on speed. This, with thu | forward pass in all zones, is expect cd to win many games for the Pi rates.

TEAMS READY FOR
 GAMES TOMORROW
Army and Harvard Expected to
 Furnish GridirOn Thrills

New York, Nov s P}-Tomorrow the second Saturday in November finds a heavy schedule of climatic or scmi-climatic football battles with the invasion of the west by Army and Harvard offering promise Of the most spectacular frays of the day.
 The east has plenty of football fare in it's own territory but for gen eral interest the palm must go to Armys duel with Bob Zuppke's Illinois eleven and Harvards fray with Michigan.
 Despite a disappointing season, marked by a tie with Hayard and defeat by Yale, the Army appears ready to snatch it's first major vic tory Of the year against the lllni
 who were beaten by Northwestern last week. Harvard, on paper, ap- pears much stronger than Michigan which has lost three Big Ten Con
 ference games in q row.
 At home the intersectional contest
 between Georgia and New York University will vie for interest with such purely domestic encounters as Penn te-Pcnnsylvania; Dart mouth Brown, GeorgetoWn-N Navy, ate-Columbia, Washington and
 Jefferson Pittsburgh, Boston Col ege-Fordham, Villanova- Bucknell, utgerS-Lafayette and among the
 little three, Wesleyan and Williams Yale meets Maryland with full
 expectations of averaging the 60 defeat by the southerners last year. Cornell should get no more than d workout against Western Reserve, | but West Virginia, especially in view
 Of it's hard Election day battle with Fordham, appears doomed to defeat | by the heavy Detroit eleven of Gus Dorais. >nnbeaten over q span of 20 contests and tied only once in that ! time.
 Princeton hopes to achieve it's sec ond victory of the season at the
 expense of Lchigh but the pcnnsyl-
 vanians are looking up after long
 period Of football depression and may spring q surprise. Lehigh held ; Penn to a l0-7 score, neat per formance in any season.
 Cnbeaten teams clash in the Pitt 1 w. sand J. and Boston College Ford ham meetings but all of these "levens but Pitt have been tied. 1 Fordham might be q favorite over Boston College but for the fact that
 the Maroons will have had only | three days of rest since their ecoro-
 less tie with West Virginia Villa
 nova. another unbeaten team, may i not be in that class after the fray
 with the rugged Bucknen outfit. ! The Brown Dartmouth duel is i drawing more interest, perhaps. ! than it would had Al Marsters been | available. for Dartmouth quarter l back duty, Without Special Deliv- ] cry Ar the game assumes a more
 even aspect.
 Syracuse and Holy Cross have scheduled games with foes Of minor
 strength, the Orange meeting Mia sara and Holy Cross battling Boston 1 University Davis and Elkns, an other undcfeated aggregation. meets state rival in West Virginia Wes- leyan. Duquesne, another of the

Though he looks much like the ordinary collcg" youngstcr there's something extraordinary about the football playing of "Albic' Booth, Yale's dynamic little giant.

Two powerful football lines. prob- ably the strongest in high school circles in the state, will oppose each other when the New Britain and Eulkeley High school teams will play in Hartford, tomorrow. The t6ang arc rated as an even bet in the game on account Of their strong defense and weak ofreuae
 Bulkclcy and New Britain are finishing their season and as one looks back it will be found that both teams were equipped with strong lines but have been unable 10 do much on the offense AL though both elevcns have been de- feated once this year they were each held to one tie and in victories have not scored a great margin in points The Hardware City team has not scored more than two touchdoWns in any game this year.
 Comparative scores which. nine times out Of ten, arc no indication Of the strength of the two teams, indicate that Hartford is 13 points better than the Red and Gold team. Bulkeley defeated Norwich Free Academy by 13 to score while New Britain High was held to d 12 to 12 tie in the Norwich game. Bulkeley defeated Hartford High by a 6 to 0 score and their may be a, chance of seeing how New Britain and Hartford High Compare in their battle on November, 23.
 If the Hardware City eleven is successful in defeating Bulkelcy High it will have more victories , than the combined ties and defeats for the season regardless of the out come of the Hartford Public High school game.

With an advance sale of tickets that presagc3 one of the best crowds in recent years and the principals in the important bouts all reported to be in excellent shape, the stage is all set for the battle tonight at the Bris- tol state armory between Eddie Lord of Waterbury, one Of the leading lightweights of the state, and Irish Tommy" Jarrett of New Haven. These two will mingle in a 10-round battle which will feature a card of five bouts agGrcgating 34 rounds of boxing.
 Both boys have worked out before crowds of Bristol fans and both have been impressive in their spar in Bristol at the Old Town hall last Sunday before about 150 interested spectators, while Lord went through his final paces last night at the same place before an enthusiastic crowd Of rooters.
 Although Lord. because of his cX- perience and well-known ring gen. eralship, has been made the favor ite tonight, there are plenty of others who are confidently expecting Jar rett to take the Waterbury boy S number. Whatever the outcome, fans who plan to attend, may well expect to see a slashing match that comes under the heading in tiatic parlance of a real natural"

 In last nights affair the locals Were outclassed from start to finish. Both teams put up rough game and this tended 10 make the game very fast. Conroy of the visitors again proved 10 be the offensive star of the Glastonbury five, caginS three Of the four goals for his team.
 Al Dicbau got the first goal after two minutes had been played. Three minutes later kccley registered the initial goal for the Gilbert team. He skated down the side of the rink and slipped the ball by the visiting @oalie. The rest of the first period found both teams fighting at a hot pace. Conroy broke the one to one deadlock in the second period, push ing the hall by Gillette.
 Had not Eddie Hayes feet been in the way in the third canto the All-Amcricans wouldn't have scored their third point of the game in this ! period. ConrOy came skating down | the floor at terrific pace and hit the ball at Hayes. The latter was in the way and the ball hit his feet, going in he cage in Glastonbury's favor. The final period found the visitors scoring for the last time whei Conroy cased q goal after nine minutes had been played. | LaPoint starred for the locals by his all around play, while Conroy was the best bet for the visitors First Period Al Dickau Glastonbury 900 keeley New Britain 2:55 second Period

W HITE TERROR
AGAINST LABOR
CROWS GREATER
Prisoner Is Killed by
Torture
(Red Aid Press SerUice)

BERLIN (By MaiD According
to q report from Riga, the political
prisoner, S. Samoilov, has commit.
ted suicide in the Riga Central
Prison by hanging himself to the
bars of his cell. Samoilov was we'll
known in Riga trade union circles
and was in prison in connection with
the disturbances of Aug. %. Samoi,
low, who was still awaiting trial,
was formerly editor of the Commu-
mist newspaper "Kolokol."
1t must be assumed that the ter
rible conditions which are known to
exist in the Riga Central Prison
have driven him to take his life
rather than endure them indefin-
itely.
The authorities in Riga have just
ordered the suppression of the
Workers Cultural Association and
the closing down of it's rooms, on
the protext that this cultural or
eanization is substitute for the re-
Gently suppressed left-wing labor
unions in Riga. In other parts of
the country similar cultural organ
izations of the workers have also
been suppressed. The "Sport and
Cultural Association of the Toiling
Youth" has also been suppressed.
The authorities in Riga celebrated
Christmas by suppressing the news
paper "Work and Bread" which had
issued special Christmas number.
The reason given YVES that the news
paper contained material against
the security of the state and cal
culated to stir up the people"
