 The state of Washington may be famous for it's salmon, but don't get the idea into your head that Wash ington State is fish for any football team this fall.
 For four seasons, Orin F. (Babe) Hollingberry. coach of the Cougars, has had to sit back and watch Stan ford, California and Southern Cali fornia lick each other for the Pa cifc coast championship. Every year he has said: Give me a line and I'll show 'em something.'
 Natives of Pullman, Wash, noticed that Babe displayed a wide grin this fall when practice opened. When they asked him about it, his only answer was: Bring 'em on."
 They brought 'em on-and then they took 'em back. The Golden Bear of California was smartly cuff ed by the snarling Cougar. Southern California's Trojans were carried beck to Los Angeles "on their shields Montana was also defeated by the Washington State team. The rest of them-Oregon State, Idaho and Washington-will need more than just good football team 10 tame the C, gar.
 Yes, Holl gberry has his line this fall; not only that, Babe can sum- mon more than a dozen husky re- placements for his regular forwards. And the ball-carriers who scored against the invaders from California never have been better in the his tory of Washington State football.
 A more versatile corps of ball. carriers than Hollingberry's can hardly be found in the country. All of them know how 10 kick, run and pass the ball. Tuffy Ellingsen and Porter I.ainhart, can do everything but swallow it.
 Only a peg below them in point of ability arc Make Davis and How ard Moses, sophomore stars; Oscar Jones, pass receiver and off-tackle specialist; Elmer Schwartz, the 200
  another first year man.
 But remembering his problems of previous seasons, Hollingberry all most wept for joy when he saw how his line was working out this year. The fellows who had played steadily last year continued to put up their usual good game. The ones who had been cratic in previous encounters, strengthened out and became star forwards.
 Hollingberry will tell you that they don't make better centcrs any where than Mel Hcin, his 195 pound veteran of two seasons. Without pressing him at all, Babe will give you the impression that Hein would be making the All-America for the third straight year if you were play ing for any of the California Big l Three. And maybe he's right. ! Thanking Hein at the guards are | Fred Garrett, the only sophomore regular in the forward wall, and George Hurley, brother of Long John Hurley. 6 foot , inch veteran end. IT. tackle herths arc wei taken care of by Harold Iron Man l Ahlskog and Glen Edwards, a mere 235 pounder The other first team wingman is Homer Hein. Mel's younger brother, who weighs only 90A.
 Oregon State, Idaho and Washing ton all are showing strength thi: fall, but HollinGberry prayer fol a line has been answered. The Babt believes that six straight victorie:
 ought to break up the championship monopoly he'd by the Big Three.
 Most of us will have to concur il Babes opinion.

New Britain has always been one of the leading centers for pro foot ball teams Whenever there was a battle or for state honors in this section of the gridiron game, one could always find the Hardware City eleven at or near the top. Some glorious battles have gone down on the records.

 Session Of General Assembly NEW YORK TO NEW HAVEN
Bill Covering Construction of EN- press Motorways Presented to Legislature at Albany-Proposal Once Defeated in Connecticut.

Governor John H. Trumbull when questioned today regarding the pos sibility of special session of the Connecticut legislature to take ac- tion on proposed $2O0, 100000 eX- press toll motorways between New York city and New Haven, stated that there was little likelihood that a special session would be called to take up the matter
 Sponsors of the plan have con- fcrred with him, the governor stat- cd, but he informed them that only in case of the utmost emergency would a special session of the Con- necticut legislature be convened. Those interested in the venture stat cd that if the project met with the approval of the New york state legislature now in session in Albany. a request would be made to the Connecticut governor to call spe- cial session.
 Governor Trumbull feels that the passage of a bill endorsing the pro- ject by the New York state leglsla- ture would not create an emergency in this state and therefore, there would be no need Of a special lesis- lative session.

NEW BUSINESS UNIT .
 ID OPPOSE CHAINS
Independent Merchants Vote to.
 Form United Grocery Stores
DECIDE TO INCORPORATE
Meeting Attended By About 50 Ncighborhood GrOccrs - Corpora ton to Be Formed for Joint Purchasing and Advertising.

After q two hour discussion last night, approximately 50 neighbor- hood grocers voted to form the United Grocery Stores, a corporation that will buy, sell and advertise as q unit to compete with the chain stores Tn this city.
 It was the consensus that inde- pendent merchants in this city are in need of organization because of the | activities of the chain grocery stores. It was said that the chain stores are acquiring valuable business corners l and are gradually eliminating the little fellow"
 After the discussion Attorney Irv- ing l. Rachln, who has been engag- ed as legal adviser, was delegated to | take steps to incorporate the organi- zation and to procure a charter at the office of secretary of state. The decision to form d corporation was unanimous and tho name was decid- cd upon almost unanimously. If this 1 name is not allowed by the state it will be changed 10 "Thc United Gro | ccry Stores of New Britain"
 The five names on the request for a charter were selected on a vote of the assembly. Martin Hollfelder, | chairman of the meeting was the first named. Others were D. s. Oh man, Paul Montvillc, Joseph Roth and Irving Fishman.
 Attorney Rachlin Speaks
 Attorney Pachln spoke at the in vitation of Chairman Hollfclder. He said the chain stores have created new economic situation. Every good corner is being taken by the large corporations. according to Mr. Rach- | lin who said the little fcllow' is | gradually losing his grip.
 He recalled the days when small merchant could open store and see | it grow into large business. He said i conditions have reached the point where the individual will not survive 1 The only alternative is for the lndi- 1 vidual to quit business and take a l job with large corporations that are run by Wall street or some other financial center
 Attorney Rachlin warned the gro- ccrs they cannot build castles in the air. Start small, survey the ground, build the foundation, the frame and the actual structure, was his advice. Mir. Rachlin asked why big cor porations do business. He answered it | by saying that they do a great deal of newspaper advertising. Pick up 1 Friday nights paper and you Will sec the number Of advertisements, he said.
 They are able to undersell you 1 because they can purchase their goods chcaply," he added,
 He said if the big corporations arc advertising extensively, the small
