round fight for the title on Decem

round fight for the title on Decem Der r..
 For reasons known to themselves and d few others, the packers of Battalino have chosen to pit him against the Cuban rather than against the logical contender. If there were any sportsmanship in = rolved. the champion should meet the best man available. Instead however, Pete Reilly, Battalino's z manager, elected Chocolate, afteI watching the Kid take a beating q. the capable hands of La Barba.
 The Garden announced that Bat talino would receive the usual title holders share of 371s per cent Of the receipts. but promoters of the New York Amerlcan's Christmas fund for which the show is arrang- cd hope to whittle a few dollars off the Hartford boys end.
 If Battalino is defending his championship, he should face the best featherweight available some thing he has steadfastly refused to do since winning the title rather mysteriously from poor little Andre Routis of France on September 23. 1929. If Reilly and his boy are sell . ing the title. that is something else again, and something the state ath- lctic commission which controls box ing after fashion might do well to look into
 It is said that Chocolate has promised that in the event of a vic tory over Battalino he will give La Barba the first chance at the cham pionship. That is one of those promises frequently made and al most never kept.
 The Cuban, despite his defeat at the hands of the Californian Or November ,. will be favored to whip Fattalno with comparative ease. lf the boys who wager on such things are convinced that everything is on the up-and-up. Reilly wisely has refused 10 allow Battalino to meet Chocolate or any other good 26 poundcr 10 date. The Hartford featherweight has been boxing pro- fcssionallY only three years. He was mparatively unknown when Reilly then manager Of Eoutis, steered tn" little Frcnchman up 10 Connecticut to meet Battalino in the latter's home town in a title bout. BattalinO won on points, after which it devel- oped that, strangely enough, Reilly had suddenly become his manager, lcavins Routis to make his way home to France.
 Whether Reilly believes that Cho- colate has gone so far back that Battalino can defeat him, or whether the champions manager is cashing in on a last appearance is not clear. However. neither he nor his fighter wanted any part of La Barba who had won the right to contend for the championship.
 Of course. if both fights turn out aq expected and Chocolate wins the title while La Barba defeats Taylor. a return match between the Kid and Fdel with the former the title-hold CT probab bly, would draw in the cash customers. Which seems to be what someone has in mind.

LAST TWO JUNIOR
 TEAMS WILL BEGIN
South and Center Churches
 Clash at "Y" Tonight

Last years Junior Church league champions, the South CongregA- tional church Juniors, will begin the defense of their title at the Y. NJ. C. A. tonight when they face the Center ConGregationalists at o'clock in the first contest of a two- game basketball program. White weakened by the loss of last years three highest scorers, the title hold CTS have great quantity Of prom lsnG young material, practically all of which has experience back Of it, and the new team is out to retain its laurels.
 Heading the attack will be the midget forwards. Freddie Wheeler and Lawrence Stanley, with Rodney Walrath or Arnold Cormier at cen ter and Willie Merza, Russell An derson. Norman Elphick and Will liam Steed in the back court. Against this array the Center church will bring a team which contains iOLI ol iIA.t Sttll c VLCl a 14lo Dickinson. Gordon Ely, Ray Mainer and Dick Hube-as well as Wes Films and Billy Davis, also Of the 1929-1950 squad. and host Of new candidates which will have to be tried out in actual play before ifs true value can be ascertained.
 Last season the Center church twice came within a few roints of breaking the undefoated record of the title winners. and the Church street lads are hoping that the h. dian sign they have always held over their Congrega tional rivals will still be valid this evening. IT both teams are in their real form, a fast and well played game is look cd for.
 Tho second game will bring to- gether the Trinity Methodist and First Baptist quintets. both Of which played and lost on the open ing night of the league a week ago. The Methodists made much the bet ter showing of the two, losing to the First Lutherans by only two points after hectic seesaw encoun- ter. The Baptists. however. were without the services Of some of their best men last week. and with Hugh Miller and John Drum mont expected in the lineup tonight they are hopeful Of offsetting their sad showing of a week ago. They have some good material and may be able 10 put up q good battle If they get their stars into action. but they will face strong team in the Metho- dist combination which includes Ray Mahan, Luther Carlc, Colman Pinkcrton and kraut.

 MEET THIS WEEK
Northwestern and Michigan Face
 Most Important Test

Chicago, Nov, II UP)-North- western and Michigan, the Big Tens two unbeaten championship contcnders, are likely to face their most trying Conference tests of the season this week, with defeat threatening one and maybe both Of them.
 Northwestern hasn't been extend cd in winning its four Conference games from Ohio State. Illinois, Minnesota and Indiana. but Wiscon- sin IS real menace tc the Wild cats hopes for their second Big Ten title in some 3o years Of com- petition.
 Michigan has pulled through on, Conference victory hv the narrowcst of margins, defeating Purdue. 14- 13, but Minncsota's powerful team promises to extend the Wolverines.
 1T Northwestern wins and MichI- gan loses, Northwestern will .avc lndisputed possession Of the title. Tr both win, they undoubtedly will tie for the tltlc as Michigan has only 10 defeat Chicago's inferior team 10 complete the season with out defeat Wisconsin is Northwest crn's last Conference opponent
 1T both Northwestern and Michi- gan should happen to lose. Purdue is almost certain to retain the title as the Boilermakers have won four games and lost only one and should beat Indiana next week.
 Purdue has six Conference games, one more than either Northwestern or Michigan, and would finish with a higher percentage If the two ia Nortes lost this week.
 The Northn cstern-W Wisconsin gam promises to be one of the best of tho season in this region. Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite has been pointing his team for the North western game since the Badgers were eliminated from the running by Purdue, 7-G.
 Wisconsin has lost only one game that by one point-und played a acorclcss tic with Ohio state.
 The impression prevails in many quarters that Minnesota will stop Michigan. Minnesota has q pair ot backs that may riddle any dcfcnsc. They arc Jack Mandcrs, a ru2sei fullback who is destined 10 follow in the footsteps Of his predecessors. Herb Jocsting and Bronko NaCur- ski and Kcu McDougal 1fo pounl spcedstcr who ran 5o yards for a touchdown through the entire Northwestern team.
 Tad Wciman, former Michigan coach, is now Minnesota line coach and he is understood 10 have built a special defense 10 stop Harry Newman's touchdown passes. As Michigans victories over rurdur. Ohio State, Illinois and Harvard were largely the result Of New mans passing, the Wolverines seem- ed doomed 10 defeat whenever their aerial game is broken up.

 Los Angeles, Nov, II lTl-He's an prospect, but Ernie Pinckert, University Of Southern California baci-, has carried the ball less than d dozon1imes in his inter collegiate career.
 Pincllcrt has scored onlv two touchdoWns since he earned first team position in the opening game of 1929 as q sophomore.
 Under Coach Howard Jones grid system, the right halfback is as signed to other more pressing tasks, namely interference running.
 This 19O pound. 22 year old blond giant was some pumpkins as pig skin carrier both in San Bcrnardino, Cal. high school and as q. Trojan freshman.
 Despite all this. Coach Jones found him to be the one man who best filled the bill as a blocker Ernie's drcads of the multitudes plaudits vanished into the oblivion surrounding an interference runner.
 Pinckert usually is the last man in the interference between the ball carried and the defense and his gen. cral assignment is to take care of the surviving members of the sec ondary defense,
 The cry, as PincAcrt goes, so moves the Trojan power plays" is gaining in significance. Motion pie lures of the $. (. defeat at the hands of the great Washington State eleven showed that Ernie on occa- sons had failed in his duty.
 Coach Jones reprimanded him for his performance. That night in the showers Pinckert sang. I'm No hodv's Sweetheart NoU.'
 But he was back in form against Stanford, as is proved by tE" fact that Southern California power plays never clicked 90 well before; and the Trojans scored six times, win nilE 4 10 12.

the Yale grad whose communica- tion was contained in the Herald last night. The statements of the writer are plenty strong enough to give Yale athletic officials chance to think over the situation, The silly excuses given by the Yale off cials are childish, selfish and in line with some of the alibis being given throughout the country.
 These universities are satisfied to sit back and allow the newspapers and other agencies to play their football games up as the greatest sport spectacles of the age. They admit time after time that all other athletic expenses are paid for oy football. Yet, when a golden oppor- tunity to do charity is presented, they say that they have an agree ment with Harvard not to play any games after the season is over
 It is things like these that lead lis to believe that there is no char fly in an instituation that willingly is an object of charity whenever large sums are left it.
 The Business Mems Bowling league will open tonight at the Pal ace alleys. Eight teams of three men each are in the league. The lineup for tonight is as follows: McCoys office vs. McCoy's Operators; filling Rubber vs. Spencer Shoe Shop, Full ton Lunch room vs. Taricani Hat Shop and Reney Smoke Shop vs Home Laundry.
 Miss Edith Fcreno has announced that all teams in the Prentice Girls bowling league that holds forth at the Fraternity alleys, are even.
 Football fans are sharpening their teeth for two excellent gridircn dishes to be served up Saturday and Sunday of this week. The first comes on Saturday when the New Britain and Hartford High teams clash at the Hurley Stadium in Hartford
 The second takes place on Sun day when the Pawnees semi-pro champions Of the city. defend their title against the New Britain Blues at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park.
 The World War might have come to an end 12 years ago as far as the nations arc concerned but there Is no cessation in the hostiltes be- tween the Pawnccs and the Blues. If there isn't any blood shed in this game Sunday afternoon at the local park. then the game won't live up to expectations.
