Francis Mangan received a cut on the back of his head and Johnny Franks received black eye in the first football practice of the New Britain high school squad at Vii low Brook park last night. It was necessary for stitches to be taken in Mangan's head but he will be out for practice again Thursday night, his family reported today.
 The boys were put through a stiff workout. Mangan, playing an end position, received his injury while running down punts. Franks was in a collision with another when his optic was darkened.
 Thirty uniforms were given out by Coach George M. Cassidy last night. The outfits are the best and most complete that have been dis tributed in the history of the school. The uniforms are padded and the body is protected so we'll that it is difficult to receive very serious in jury. The boys are equipped better than or as good as any high school squad in the state, observers say.
 Coach Gives Talk
 Approximately 40 players were present. As soon as they had assem- bled Coach Cassidy called them to- gether and gave them talk. He c-+ fo ct the most important matter in foot ball success and he urged the play CTS to stick to training rules.
 Billy Ross. quarterback on last years championship team, was in uniform yesterday afternoon. He has graduated and will not be on the team this year. Coach Cassidy lined up a first team which is considered practically the one that will repre- sent the school Jack White was at center; Zimmatravich. O'Brien, and Ludwinowicz were in the guard and tackle positions and .Mangan was one of the ends. In the backfield, Zaleski was quarterback; Kloiber and Fink were the half backs and Ross filled in at fullback.
 John Moore who was a promising tackle last year has gone through with his announcement that he will try for fullback. He vas in that position with the second team. Babe" Vetrano was the quarter back. There were three teams on the field last night.
 Ritter With New Haven
 Contrary to previous announce ment Fred Ritter is with the New Haven Hillhouse high school team l this year. The loss of this heavy prospect just at the time when he would have been valuable regular is being felt by the team. His family moved to New Haven. New Britans g loss is New Havens gain. AS soon as he arrived on the practice field Coach Chick" Bowen received him with open arms and Ritter was the second member of the squad to re- ceive a uniform. He will play against New Britain this year. Ritter is the third lineman to desert the New Britain high school this year. Joe Potts and Herman Schmarr were scheduled to return but they are now 1 at Vermont academy.
 Another football practice is being held this afternoon.

ARMY PROSPECTS
 ARE VERY BRIGHT
Coach Sasse Adopts Entirely
 Warner Grid System

West Point, N. Y, Sept. 10 Rt- It's the same old show, doing bus mess at the same old stand, but still it's hard to recognize the cur rent edition of Army's football ma chine, what with new direction, new faces, and new raiment.
 Red Cagle, the agile red rover has moved away with Hertz Mur- rell, his plunging partner, and Bus ter Perry, the laundering tackle. Biff Jones has shifted his military base to Oklahoma and even the vivid golden jersies have been changed in favor of the more for nal black with gold piping. Only the setting on the plains is the same and the calibre of the men who go to make up armys yearly challengers for national supremacy.
 Major. Ralph Irvine Sasse, of Will mington, Del. Jones successor as head coach, has gone over com pletely to the Warner school of football as expounded by the old master, pop" himself, at Stanford. The cadets this year will start their charges from the familiar wing back formations developed first in far western football, special izing in spinners, sharp breaking bucks, deceptive slants and passes.
 Sasse is in splendid shape as far as a line is concerned. Carlmark and Messnger. on the ends, Price at one tackle. Capt. Humber and Hill singer in the guards, and Miller at center, all are veterans. His back field veterans consist chiefly of Rosy" Carver. 1929 quarterback, and Bowman, sub, but he looks with delight upon a rare crop of ball carrying graduates from last years undefeated plcbe squad.
 In fact it seems possible that the four regulars in the backtield, be- fore the season is far under way, will be "Cy" Letzelter, fullback from Carnegie Tech; Roland FL liott, former quarterback at Lehigh; Ken Fields. from Illinois; and Ed Herb, ex-Colgate' halfback,' all plebes last season. A half dozen other backfield replacements among the newcomers rank higher than reserves of last season.
 Undaunted by the failure of Cagle and his mates to win a major game last season, Army will attempt to beat back another foray from far-f1ung gridiron centers. The schedule: Sept. 27, Boston univ; Oct. 4, Furman; II, Swarthmore; IS, Harvard at Cambridge; e5, Yale at New Haven; Nov. 1, North Da- kota &, Illinois at New York; 15, Kentucky Wesleyan: 22, ursinus; Nov. 29, Notre Dame at Chicago.

 Georgetown opens up with a new coaching regime this fall. Tommy Mills, former Notre Dame player and assistant coach, holds the reins that Lou Little relinquished to go to Columbia, Tommy doesn't have a worry about the center position, for it's in the hands of his captain, Bill Morris. The Georgetown leader may not be an All-American, but he'll handle the job satisfactorily until an All-American comes along.

Once upon a time-the time, dear readers, was before the Rockne- Warner-Zuppke era of forward shifting lines and backfelds-foot- ball coaches picked the biggest, toughest looking mugs on the squad to fill the snapper back role on the team.
 Bashed-in noses and cauliflower ears were an aid in getting the job, but only minor aid for even the ugliest maps often were remodelod in the course of a game and the Reggies and Algernons soon came to resemble the Mickeys and Tonys.
 A center in those days vas sup posed 10 snap back the ball and plough forward through fists, elbows, cleated shoes and whatnot. If he were defending, it was his duty to absorb the shock of a goalward at tack and stop the play without be- ing mashed completely into the turf
 With the football style of today, however, the snapper back becomes more than an animated door mat. He becomes a leader on defense diagnosing plays and shifting his po- sition to meet the attack. On offense he becomes an interferer, knocking over halfbacks in the secondary de- fense to make path for his own ball-carriers. In short, a good cen- ter must be the smartest, shiftiest and surest-tackling lineman on the tean-and a glutton for punishment.
 Ben Ticknor-Harvard's good old Ben Ticknor who snatched up Yale's little Albie Booth. by the scruff of his neck and saved the day for the Crimson-likes line play, and par ticularly the open defensive play of center, because it brings him more action than any other position. Ben Ticknor also will argue with anybody nho says the football rules should be changed and that points after touch down should be eliminated. Incident ally, the Crimson leader, who won perhaps more All-America ratings than any other center year ago, hopes that he never has to play against a better center than Hal Andres, thic years Dartmouth cap tain. They clashcd last year-and they clash again this year. The date is October 25 in Harvard stadium, and the young man who gets the better of the argument that after noon may be the next All-America center.
 Two other eastern schools and one Dixie school also selected star cen ters to captain their elevens this fall. They are Tom Siano of F'ordham, Bill Morris of Georgetown and Preacher Roberts of Tulane. In the case of Siano, his was a reelection to the Fordham captaincy. which i3 ample proof that they believe in his football playing ability.
 Where keenness in diagnosing the opponents attack is concerned. Siano probably rates higher than either Ticknor, Andres. Roberts or Morris. The little Italians eyes and brain were busy every minute of every game last year. detecting slip-ups in the enemy plans. He moved to the point of attack faster than his team- mates, and when tackles were made, he made them. According to Frank Cavanaugh. Fordham coach. Siano missed but one tackle in the whole season.

GIANT D0-X WATTS
 FOR GOOD WEATHER
May Start First Pay Flight Over
 Atlantic Tomorrow

Friedrichshafen, Germany, Oct. 30 (UP)-Favorable weather was awaited today for the start of one of the greatest experiments in Gvi- ation-the transatlantic flight of the giant flying boat DO-X, first heavier than-air machine believed able to maintain schedule, carry profit able load. and fly with certainty be- tween Europe and North America.
 Maurice Dornier, a director of the company which built the DO-X, sahi that it was hoped to start the flight to Lisbon Friday or Saturday. The flying boat will be shown to other European nations en route to Por- tugal, for it will fly north to Amster- dam, and then turn south to visit England and France before landing in Lisbon harbor.
 The red tiled roofs of Lisbon will be left behind as the great ship stars west toward the Azores, thence over the long ocean hop to Bermu- da, and on to New York. Officials were satisfied today that the DO-X was in perfect condition to attempt the long and dangerous flight.
 American May Be Pilot
 Tentative plans were that the fly ing boat would be piloted by for mer United States naval ace, Lieut.. C. H. (Dutch) Schildhauer, whose titles are navigation officer and pilot. Schildhauer will be guiding a virtual liner of the air Its comforts arc said to exceed those of the Graf Zep- pelin and the giant British dirigible.s for smoking room and a bar will be provided for the 100 or more passengers which the DO-N is able to accommodate.
 Schildhauer arranged for the in- stallation of several American in struments on the control loard. H. has every confidence in it's 12 American made Curtiss Conaueror motors. They will give the DO-X q total of 6,30O horsepower.
 A German war ace and captain in the merchant marine, Capt. F. Chris tiansen, will be in command of the DO-A. Long experience III naVlgat- ing ships through the sea and the sky qualify him for the position.
 World Interest Aroused
 The DO-X has carried l59 pas sengers, without the baggage neces- sary for a long journey, on a single flight. The immense proportions Of the craft, it's 12 motors built on top of its gigantic wing, the mechanical equipment on board to make repairs during the flight, provisions for the comfort of passengers, and the fact that it is inten-vd to prepare the way for profitable and regular air service between the old and the new worlds have aroused international interest in the project.

 LOG USED IN QUIZ
Data Shows Engines Working Nine Minutes Before Crash

London, Oct. 30 R}-A page from the log of the British dirigible R-101 was introduced into the govern- ment's inquiry today to show that the engines of the ill-fated ship were working smoothly nine min utes before it crashed at Beauvais, France, October 5, with the loss of 4S lives
 Sir William Jowitt, attorney gen. oral conducting examination of tes- timony, sprang a sensation in the public court of inquiry by an nouncng that a sheet from one of the engine logs of the big craft, kept while she was on her last flight had been found near the scene of the disaster and forwarded to London.
 The attorney general said this document had proven of the utmost importance in the investigation since it showed the engine revolu- tions and cruising speed of the craft ing of the catastrophe. The dirgible crashed nine minutes later.
 Sir William said everything ap- peared normal aboard the R-101 up 10 o'clock. Then an imperfect entry in the log regarding oil pres sure indicated that the officer had not time to finish his entry.
 Examination of witnesses was be- gun this morning. Sir John simon, presiding, outlined the scope of the inquiry. He indicated that he in tended to "handle the investigation without gloves.
 Sir John declared that it was of special importance to understand the regulations governing trials of airships built by private firms and Of those built by the air ministry.
 We are concerned with this inn portant question:: Whether as much care was taken before this ship went on her long voyage as would have been insisted upon if the ship had been built by someone else" Sir John said.

TWOBRUSH FIRES
 SWEEP CALIFORNIA
Ranch Foreman Seriously Burned-FiVe Filipinos Missing

Ventura, Cal, Oct. 30 P-Two brush fires continued to range un- controlled on widely separated Ven- tura county watersheds today, one having burned over 12,000 acres of pastures and brush and the other coo acres of brush and scrub oak. Two thousand men were recruited to fight the fire.
 The more serious of the fires, de- scribed by fire Wardens as the most devastating since in 1924 a fire swept a large portion of northeastern Nen- tura county, was burning in the up per reaches of Simi valley and in the Santa Clara river sections on 10- mile front.
 One Burned, Five Missing
 This fire last night trapped Will liam Brill foreman of the z. A. Zillibrand ranch, seriously burning him. Five Filipinos sent into a canyon to combat it's advance on the town of Moorpark were reported missing and possibly trapped by the flames. County fire officials said it had done damage in excess of $780, 900 to winter pastures and grain and farm buildings.
 The other blaze, in the Malibu mountains, started at noon yesterday country. The extent of its damage was not known, but no dwellings, were reported in it's path.
 Moorpark and Simi, which escap- ed destruction by @ brush fire Tues. day., fought a dramatic battle against the second blaze yesterday. Schools were dismissed, housewives played garden hoses on their homes, upon which burning cinders fell, and the constable jailed the only man left in Moorpark for refusing to battle the fire. After several hours the flames were beaten back into the hills, from where they climbed rap idly to Coyote mountain, which stood out like giant torch last night.
 The buildings on the E. L. Doheny ranch were burned.
 Oil Fields Threatened
 The oil fields north of Simi valley fire for a time were threatened, but reports late last night indicated there was no immediate danger they would be burned.
 Both blazes burned to within half a mile of the Los Angeles county line last night. At Newhall, east of the major blaze, Los Angeles fire officials mobilized large force, cut ting firebreaks and preparing to fight any advance of the flames into the mining district and timberland back of Newhall.
