QUIZ Of SCHOOL
REDS ASKED

Condemning communism and
branding distribution of Red"
literature a crime against the
Constitution, a resolution was
passed by the Stanton Park Citi,
Zens Association last night asking
the Board of Education to make
o sweeping investigation of the
spread Of communistic propa-
ganda in the public school.
Several parents said the liter
ature given their children by the
"young agitators" element was
shocking in its attack against the
American Government.
Fighting against the approval
Of the resolution, James P.
Farmer, a Socialist, said that the
Russian government had done
more for its people than any
other one in the world. He said
it was really much nearer a
government of the people" than
that of the United States. It
would be better, Farmer said, to
study the philosophy of the
"Reds" before condemning them
so fiercely.

CHICAGO HOCKEY
 WAR IS LOOMING
American and National League
 Heads in Bitter Argument

Chicago, Oct. 21 LP - Another in the offing today.
 In a reply yesterday to a state ment attributed to President Frank Calder of the National Hockey League, in which the American League was called an outlaw organ ization, President William F. Grant of the latter group, warned the old CT circuit to keep hands off"
 Grant said his leagues refusal to renew the draft agreement with the National League, caused Calder to make the charge, which he said was unfounded. He said the American League had found the draft unsat- isfactory, but had no intention of tampering with player contracts held by National League clubs. Grant said the American League had violated no territorial rights by putting a team in Chicago, and warned the National League not to tamper with player contracts held by the Shamrocks, Chicago's entrant in the American League.
 The last flareup occurred four years ago when the Chicago Cardi- nals of the American association sought to vie with the Blackhawks, of the National League. The Cardi- nals were forced to disband after several players signed with the Black Hawks. Both the Shamrocks s and the Blackhawks have arranged to play their home schedules in the Chicago Stadium.

.CARlDEO LEADING THE QUARTERBACkS
Notre Dame Field General Again
 Headed for Big HonorS

Chicago, Oct. q (UP) - Many smart field generals are performing on middle-western gridirons this season.
 Foremost, at least for the pres ent, among the select quarterbacks of this region is Frank Carideo, Notre Dame's crack leader who won all-America honors by his direction Of last seasons undefeated team.
 Again Carideo is performing in well-night tlawless fashion. Three of Carideo's outstanding qualities are his knack of seizing a break and turning it quickly to his teams ad- vantage, his refusal to get Mustered, and his placing of punts.
 One of Carideo's foremost rivals is Lee Hanley, Northwestern quar- terback and brother of the team s coach, Dick Hanley. He was the hero of Northwestern 19-2 victory oveT Ohio State and shared honors with Frank Baker and Pug Retner in his teams rout of Illinois, 32-0. Hanley is hard runner and a good passer and kicker.
 Three brilliant sophomore quarter backs already have won their spurs in Big Ten competition before the end of October They are Harry Newman, Michigan. Chuck Golden berg, Wisconsin. and Lewis Hinch- man, Ohio State.
 A fine quarterback who undoubt- cdly would shine more brightly on a better team. is Paul Stagg of Chi cago, son of Coach A. A.. Stagg. Stagg is the brains of the Chicago team. and has most of the Maroons' plays built around him. He is a good passer and receiver.
 Captain Win Brockmeyer of Min nesota is another good quarterback in this section. He is @ plendid open field runner and a good selecter of plays. Jack White of Purdue, a dangerous runner, completes the list of this sectors best quarterbacks. Iowa, Indiana and Illinois have no outstanding QuarterbaCkS.

HARD WORK FOR YALE
Nal Stevens Driving His Crew to Get it in shape for Game With Army Eleven This saturday.

New Haven, Oct, 2l fP-There may not be any scrimmage at Yale this week but there will be plenty of other hard work as Nal Stevens gets the Sons of Old Eli in shape for Army.
 Four of his injured, including Chick McLennan. quarterback were on the field last night, and Charlie Helm, another quarterback is eX- pected back this afternoon.
 With almost all of his regulars tvailable. Stevens planned to begin serious work today in mapping an offense and defense for the scrap with the West Pointers. Albie Booth and McLennan were scheduled to alternate at running the team. Lit tie Albie. however, will probably start the game Saturday, having proved against Brown that he can run fresh opposition ragged as well as an enemy battered down by shock troops.

Athens, Ga, Oct. 21. R-This may be Georgia's year.
 The Bulldogs Is to IA victory over Yale has put them high among the early season top-notchers in the Southern conference championship race
 It has made them one of the favorites for the title, which they never have held
 Georgia has rung up three vic tories in the battle between tn. Bulldogs of the north and south in four years.
 The powerful offensive of the Georgians, which enabled them to and take the first kickoff for a touchdown. gave the south it's great est thrill of years.
 Austin Downes. quarterback, who made the sensational S1-yard dash for the opening score, became the hero of the day in all Dixie grid iron camps.
 Georgia's victory in the Bowl, while it was cheered with sectional pride meant bad news for the the Bulldogs schedule.
 It meant that the strong team of last year, composed almost entire ly of veterans. was holding it's own tEis year.
 It is true that the Georgia boys showed some rough spots. but there is still time for polishing. Fumbling appeared to be the greatest fault.
 But there is power in the drive Of the Athens. team, and it's de- fensive work cannot be discounted.
 Downes, Jack (The Ripper) Rob- CTS, fullback, and Vernon (Catfish) Smith, end, who supplied the three touchdowns against Yale, together with Herbert Maffett, end and cap- tain, compose a formidable scoring quartet
 Roberts, second highest scorer in the conference, kept up his repu- tation by coming through with :, touchdown in the final period, wheE it was most needed to win the game.
 Behind the teams strategy afield is Coach Harry Mehre and his as sistant Frank Thomas. Both came to the University of Georgia from Notre Dame, bringing with them the famous Rockne system.

HeaVyHeights to Battle at New
 Haven Arena Next Monday

New Haven, Oct. 21 With the signing of Al Friedman to meet w. L. (Young) Stribling in Boston on October 31, Friednans ten round bout with Ralph Ficucello, New York's sensational Italian heavy weight, at the Arena on next Mon- day night takes on all the more the Arenas great heavyweight star bout have bouts with outstanding heavyweights hanging fire. Ficucello has been offered match with Jim my Maloney at Madison Square Gar den and loss for either will prob ably mean the loss of an important bout for big money.
 Not in many years has as inn portant a bout between two up and coming young heavyweights been staged in this state and it is likely that fans who sit in on the bout will be seeing the future heavyweight champion of the world in action. For, both Ficucello and Friedman are youngsters, only little past the voting age, and each has been tabbed by boxing experts all over the coun- try as coming champion. Each is coming along at rapid clip, gain ing experience and boise and their meeting here Monday night means only one thing. One will continue on in his quest for the championship and the other will have to start all over
 Opinion is already well divided on the outcome of the bout. The Italian element is strong for Ficucello and can see nothing but decisive knock out for their favorite. On the other hand, the Hebrews are stringing along with Friedman. Already this difference in opinion has produced a considerable amount of wagering along New Haven's fistic rialto with Friedman established as a slight early favorite.
 Lou Bogash. Bridgeport's veteran light heavyweight, is already down to the weight limit of 175 pounds for his comeback bout with Maxie Goldberg of Brooklyn which is billed as a special eight rounder on the same card.

STRIBLING- -CHRISTNER
Metropolitan Figh Fans Will Get First Glimpse of Georgian Since He Began knockouts.

New York, Oct. q (UP)-Metro- politan fight fans will get their first glimpse of Young Stribling since his knockout victories over Otto Von Porat and Phil Scott Thursday night when the Georgian crawls through the ropes at Newark, N. J., for q O. round bout with K 0. Christner, Akron's most famed rubber puddler.
 Metropolitan fans have not cared for Stribling since his lack -adaisical showing against Paul Berlenbach here several years ago.
 Christner should prove a perfect foil for the Georgian's boxing tall ents. The Akron boy. never great fighter, has undoubtedly slipped q lot since he gave Jack Sharkey such an interesting time a few years back.

GAMES
 WILL BE PLAYED
Half Dozen Contests Between
 Rivals on Eastern Program

New York, Oct. 21 P'-A half dozen games, all renewals of ancient rivalries and some of them involv- ing sectional title hopes, top tho casts football program this Satur- day.
 Not even so important an intersec tional contest as Pitt and Notre Dame at Pittsburgh can take away much interest from such duels as Yale Army, Harvard Dartmouth, Princeton Navy, New York univer- sity- Fordham, Brown-Holy Cross and Lafayette Washington & Jeffer- son.
 Army will invade the Yale Bowl in high hopes of averaging the 21-13 beating it took year ago. These old rivals have played 29 football games since 1893, with Yale winning IS, and Army five. Six games were ties.
 Football fans will have to go back even farther to discover the first meeting between Harvard and Dart. mouth. They inaugurated their series in 1882 and since then liar yard has won 27 games and Dart mouth seven with two ties. More to the point perhaps is the fact that high powered Dartmouth eleVens have won five of the last seven battles with the Crimson.
 Somewhat similar situation pre- vails between Princeton and Navy. Princeton won all of the games play ed between 1892 and 1920, but since then the Midshipmen have, held d decided edge.
 The 11th meeting between N. Y. U. and Fordham at Yankee stadium brings together two undefeated and united teams. Of the 10 games played since 1904 Fordham has won six and N. Y. U. four.
 Holy Cross will attempt to shake long-standing jinx in meeting Brown. They've played seven times since 1898 and Holy Cross never has gotten better than a tie, and that only once.
 Lafayette and Washington and Jefferson will renew a bitter rivalry in an indoor night game at Atlantic City. Twelve times these teams have clashed since 1898 and the Presl- dents have won six games and Lafayette four with two ties.
 These half dozen games are the outstanding attractions but not far behind in interest will be the battles between Penn State and Colgate. and Temple and Villanova. Two more major teams, Georgetown and West Virginia, are matched in a Friday night game. Other major elevens have scheduled "breathers' and one, Cornell, has an open date.
