A FEW DONTS IN
PARACHUTE JUMPING

Don't always head for a sky
light on the chance that there
may be an artists model under
meath. II may be painful, and
artists models aren't usually
worth II, anyway.
Don't try to land head first:
It's spectacular but isn't consid-
cred good form in the best
circles.
Don't smoke during a Jump.
You might start a forest FIRE
and then what would the field
mice do?
Don't cut the strings of your
parachute on the way down.
That is a pleasure which is
greatly overratcd.
Don't ever Jump il you're not
in full dress 1t Just isn't being
done this semester.
Don't jump.

 As Brudcr was on his way yes- torday to join the squad for the trip to Minneapolis and the game with the Gophers, a trio of pretty co-eds popped up with the hooddoo- preven- ters.
 Hey. Hank" they purred, these ought to break up the jinx of that number IS jersey you arc wearing"
 The purple leader. injured in 1928. laid up with fractured les last year, and victim of smallpox this year, took the gifts, seemingly con- lident that no more bad luck could catch up with him.

CHOCOLATE MEETS
 LABARBA MONDAY
FeatherWeighS Will Really Be
 Battling for Worlds Title

New York, Oct. 31 (UP)-The billboards don't say so, but the fight at Madison Square Garden Monday night between Kid Chocolate and Fidel LaBarba is really match for the featherweight championship Of the world.
 Although Bat Battalino holds the title of the 126-pound class, not even tEe Bats closest friends would tell you that the Hartford boy deserves the distinction. Put him in the same and Bat would be fortunate to es- cape with his head, much less his crown.
 Battalino, since the night he won the title under extra ordinary cir cLmstances to say the least, has de- voted himself to overweight matches exclusively. Thus, he has held on to the championship despite many ar tistic llckings. The champion has been asked to come to New York and meet the winner of Mondays fight, but there is little chance of his doing so. For Battalino, what cN CT his prowess as a fighter, is not dumb.
 The keed and the California boy sl ould give the 1S.000 or 10000 GUS toners Tom McArdle says will watch the scrap, a run for their money. And it is just as well, for after another dreary bout boxing, al- ready groggy in this part of the woods, would be ready for the IF orgue.
 Chocolate and LaBarba, however, are not likely to turn in dull per fcrmances. Their first meeting was a blistering affair with the little Cuba Negro getting the decision. The Californian, to this date, insists that the worst he should have received was a draw.
 Chocolate, because of his amazing record, is expected to enter the ring a favorite. A slight favorite, how ever, as the former flyweight king, iidS IltNIl iOOhCu DClltI III illN ol his workouts here than in his train ing sessions the past few days. Judging from his work, LaBarba in tends concentrating his fire on Chocolates waspish waist-linc. Many experts contend that the lit tie Cuban is too slender about the mid-section to absorb a steady body attack for ten rounds. Maybe so. but Jackie (kid) Berg is no slouch as throwing 'em at the middle, and he failed to make the keed back down.
 Monday night will mark Choco- late's 2nd appearance since his loss to Berg whne he declared he was through with the ring forever, That < his defeat by the English whirlwinG did not shake Chocolates confi- dence, was proved recently when he knocked out Mickey Doyle after some two minutes of fighting in the first round.

EASTERN ELEVENS
 GOING OUT WEST
InterSectiOnal Games Hold h.
 tereSt Spotlight Tomorrow

New York, Oct. 31 QP-Several outstanding eastern football teams were on their way today to points far distant from home for inter- sectional games on Saturday.
 Pittsburgh today was scheduled for d brief workout in Omaha. Neb., having started it's jaunt to meet Ne braska Wednesday and working out
 in Chicago yesterday. Princeton took the road last night after a final ses- sion in preparation for the Chicago game and New York university headed west to meet Carnegie Tech. West Virginia journeyed eastward to meet Fordham.
 Dartmouth had a brief practice session yesterday at the end of which Coach Jackson Cannell pre- dicted his men would make it a good battle against Yale and the "breaks" would decide the game, Yale devoted some attention to the passing at tack expected from the Green.
 Columbia continued it's hard work to the last minute in hope of inflict- ing a fire defeat of the year on Cornell, which comes to New York today. Al kreuz. former Penn full back now coach, slammed into the Quaker line to give the men a sam pl2 of what they might expect from Jim Bausch of Kansas. A bright prospect came to Penn, however, when Lud Wray made no more changes in the first team, apparent ly believing the present lineup has a good chance of stopping the Jay hawkers.
 Syracuse used some . CIV plays in it's preparations for the heavy Brown team. It was expected that Fishel might be named as fullback in place of Frank. Carnegie spent it's time on a blackboard drill studying New York U. plays.
 With fairly easy victories in pros pect against "breather" opponents. Harvard Navy and Army took things more easily. Coach Arnold Horween said only one regular, Eddie Mays, would start for Harvard against Will liam and Mary and Bill Ingram of Navy decided to hold kirn in reserve for later games, using Campbell against West Virginia Wesleyan. Army groomed 215 pound Price to oppose 220 pound EcNholm of North Dakota.
 Following the same general plans of preparation, other leading teams went through their final serious drills for Saturdays games. Leaders on this card include Colgate Missis- sippi College, Boston College Mar quettc, Nillanova-Du and Davis an . Elkins- Oklahoma City among the intersectional' games and Buck nell-Penn State, Rutgers Holy Cross, Lafayette-Upsala and Lehigh- Muh- lenberg within the section.

PHILADELPHIA HAS
 FAIR PROSPECTS
Hockey Has Chance to Go Some.
 where ill National League

Philadelphia, Oct. 3 P}-The Philadelphia Quakers, known os the Pittsburgh Pirates before Benny Leonard moved his franchise here, apparently have a chance to go some place in the National Hockey league this season.
 The players believe they have an opportunity. The appointment of Cooper Smeaton as manager and coach of the team met with the ap- proval of the ice men.
 Smeaton, former referee-in-c chief of the league, is war veteran and knows how to handle men. He IS fighter and expects his team to fight for him.
 'l know there are better teams than the Quakers in the league" " said Smeaton, but we are going to i have a fighting combination. ] each and every man will give his best I'll be, satisfied
 | Smeaton has retained ten men from last seasons team for the time being and thirty-fve youngsters picked up in the eastern and wesr ern sections of Canada have been brought here for tryout. Some of them are expected, to make the grade.
 Joe Miller, goal tender, Roger Smith Herb Drury, Johnny Mckin- non. Hib Milks, Hal Darragh, Cliff Barton, Ren Manners, Bud Jarvia and Jerry Lowrey, are the veterans of last season who will, no doubt, remain with the club.
 There are several deals now ;n the making and before the season gets under way, November Il, when the New York Rangers meet the Quakcrs at the arena. few new faces will be added to the roster. A defense man will be purchased i from one of the Canadian teams and a few forwards also are bcin,, considered.
 | While Smeaton is starting later than any other team .he believes his boys will be in tip top shape for the first game. The squad has been working out in a local gymnasium Next week they will hit the ice. A majority of the athletes kept in trim during the summer months by play
 ing golf and many reported being on hunting and fishing trips prior to reporting.

Two New Britain high school foot-

Two New Britain high school foot ball players who have been regulars practically since the beginning Of the season are in danger of being replaced tomorrow afternoon when the team plays Bulkeley high eleven of Hartford at Willow Brook park.
 Coach George M. Cassidy said to- day that he will not hesitate to make changes when he believes there is a better man for position. Although there is no definite decision as yet. Griffin, a new man, may replace Francis Mangan at right end and John Gilbert Moore, regular for the early season games, may replace Zip" Zimatravich who has been playing guard and tackle since the beginning of the season.
 He will probably remain in doubt about the changes until game time tomorrow However l.e definitely an- nounced today that Left Halfback Ed Kloiber would not start against Bulkeley on account of a bad knee injury which the teams first string punter suffered a few weeks ago. The backfeld will be shifted. "Dab- by" Dabkowski will be used at Kloi- ber's halfback position and Gerry Flood will be at fullback where Dab- kowslli has been playing. Coach Cassidy believes Kloiber. his ace forward thrn\Epr ,far should be brought along carefully. This rest will be very valuable and he should be a better cog in the Red and Gold machine in the New Haven Hillhouse and Hartford Public high school games.
 In explaining his line changes Coach Cassidy said Griffin is com- ing along rapidly and looks like prospect for high honors in the years to como. He is first year student at the school. Moore is superman according to MT. Cassidy. His unusual heighth and strength which are being used to advantages in the practice sessions make it im- possible for the coach 10 keep him off the team. Zimatravich and Mangan who may go 10 the sidelines were described as good men by the coach.
 The question of whether Richie Fink will be eligible for tomorrow game will be determine. on the out. come of a test he is taking this aft crnoon. If he is out of the. lineup Flood. will be shifted 10 halfbacll with Dabkowski and Steinle will be started at fullback, according to tentative plans.

After study of all the angles of the football situation locally, the prospect of getting enough cash customers at Memorial Field in Will low Brook to cover expenses and the arrangement of schedule, the three men who form the All-New Britain Football Club, Inc, decided today to abandon all plans of op- erating Q team for the remainder of the present season.
 Edward J. Daley, spokesman for the club, announced that it had been the intention of the officials to lower the price of admission from 75 to 50 cents at the gate. This would have necessitated the attendance of 1,S00 fans and this appears. at the present time, to be not likely. The returns at 50 cents per head on this number would be s650 and this would just cover expenses and leave nothing for profit.
 All efforts to secure a suitable opponent for a game in this city iicAI ouHuds, iitl "ili ioiioi N' h'S cnly eleven not booked for the week end Is the Corinthian team of Hart ford. combination of colored stars, but the local men were of the opin- ion that this team would be unable to furnish good enough game. Other attempts to sign up teams un- covered the fact that they were all booked for games.
 Conferences between the triumVir- ate and the former manager of tho New Britain Rams, had been held yesterday and the day before and the managers expressed themselves as being agreeable to the proposi- ton offered. Attorney Elgert Poll- tis and Hubby Beloin were both willing 10 play and they felt sure that the other members of the team would also play for the All- New Britain management.
 However, after a meeting between Messrs. Perakos, Walsh and Daley this morning, it was decided to let the remainder of this season slip by without any action being taken. Ii was intimated that the All-New Britain club might be in the field at the start of next scagon.
