New Britain herald., 1930-11-20

The four remaining teams in the action for the first time tomorrow night at the Tabs hall when the sec ond round of games in the league will be staged. Three good contests are on the program and large crowd is sure to be out to watch them.
 Two of the strongest contenders in the league will battle in the first game when the Fafnir team stacks up against P. X r. Corbin. These two quintets are always among the top flight in the league and this sea- son should prove to be no exception.
 The Corbin team, after winning the pennant in the Industrial Base ball league, is eager to make it a double win for the year by taking honors in the court section. The quintet will have a tough row to hoe, however, as the opposition this year will be much stronger than it has been in the past.
 The Fafnir team, always a con- tender for honors, hopes to shake off it's jinx this year and come through for a pennant. The squad is strong, fast and capable and promises 10 be among the leaders.
 The second game of the night will bring together the Russwin and Landers teams. Russwins have strong aggregation while Coach Charlie Cook will trot out a pos sible championship outfit for the contest.
 The night cap will be between the Hard luck" Gascos and the Corbin Cabinet Lock quintet. The Gascos lost out by two points in the last minute of play Tuesday night but the team hopes to come through with a win over Johnny Tobin's out fit tonight.
 The first game will start promptly at 7:3O o'clock.

WILL MAKE FINAL
 BID FOR HON0RS
Hard Luck Hank" Bruder Has
 Had Notable "JinX'' Career

Evanston. III. Nov. 70 UP)- Hard Luck Hank" Bruder. North N westerns greatest star who never played in the Big Ten" will make q final bid for all-America honors in Saturdays game against Notre Dame at DyChe stadium.
 The Northwestern captain will be completing the most publicized ''JinX'' career of football history, anI unless he turns in a particularly spectacular individual performance, seems destined to be denied the all- America honors he has been seeking for three years.
 Bruder has been handicapped bv injuries throughout his career. Dur ing eight years of football. at Pekin, III, high school and Northwestern, ne has encountered the following misfortunes:
 Both arms broken; one cheekbonc broken; one finger broken; liza ments torn in both knees; fragments and nerves in right hip twice seri- ously injured; back scared by dry lime used inadvertently to mark the playing field; right leg broken, smallpox.
 Despite his numerous visits 10 hos pitals. the speedy halfback starrel throughout his prep school career, winning four letters each at football and basketball, and two in track.
 Injuries limited him 10 five games during his first two years at North western, but at the close Of the pres ent season he will have won three major Ms" at football.
 Each year he had been touted as q potential all-America only to have injuries wreck his chances. Be fore the start Of the present sea son Coach Dick Hanley said Brudct vas the greatest football player l have ever seen" and predicted he would win all-Amcrica laurcls.
 After Northwestern opening 193g game, Bruder had smallpox and was Lick-namcd the greatest star who never played" and the only al- America who ever won his place in the hospital"
 Northwestern supporters believe Brudcr's failure 10 take his regular turn al carrying the ball in recent games was planned by Hanley in an effort to save" the star for the Notro Dame gamc.
 Hanley refuses 10 comment on the theory. but will not deny that he plans 10 let Bruder carry the brunt ot Saturday $ attack.

JONES ID RESIGN
 FROM GOLF BODY
Departure From Amateur Ranks
 to Be Officially Recognized

New York, Nov. 20 (UP)-The d ,- parture of Bobby Jones from the ranks of amateur golf will be re cognized actually for the first time today when the executive committee of the United States Golf association, of which the Atlantan was a mem- Der, meets at the Hotel Biltmore.
 Despite the hesitancy of golf off cials to confirm the well known fact, Bobby's resignation is 10 be pre- scented and accepted, as a matter of course.
 When it became known that Jones had decided 10 capitalize his ability and fame as a golfer and accept an offer of nearly s25p,000 from War ner Brothers Pictures. the L. s. G. A.. which has benefited for years rom Bobby's popularity, was 10th to let him pass entirely from the realm of amateur golf. H. H. Ram say, president-elect of the associa- ton. would not admit that the At lantan had automatically barred himself from all participation in the business of the L. S. G. A.
 Nevertheless, Jones resignation was before the executives today, and there was little they could do but accept it.
 There was q great deal of business on the slate when the committee met. but it all was subordinate to the question of what should be done without Bobby. The field of anna tcur golfers will have to be Combed carefully for possible champions, and the whole outlook of the royal and ancient sport in this country must be revised, now that the one great popular figure of them all has withdrawn from competition.
 Not that the L. s. G. A. needs the money. The association has nearly sl0O,O00 in the bank, as a result of having shared in the proceeds of the tournaments and championships un- der its jurisdiction. When there is talk of various sports bodies aiding unemploym relief, it might be possible for the parent golf body to do something, even out of season.
 The L. S. G. A. takes half the gate receipts of championships, and netted some S27,000 at Merton, Pa, last September, largely as result of the people who paid admission to sec Bobby Jones play. With Jones missing, receipts at the various championships are certain to de- crease, for time. It will be some time. too. before any golfer can bc built up to take the Atlantans place in the public mind, and to fill his drawing power upon the public purse.

CLASH 0F RIVALS
 ID HEAD PROGRAM
Yale Is Favored to Defeat Har-
 yard Saturday Afternoon

New York, Nov. 20 (uP) - The | forthcoming Yale Harvard game uhicl is by way of being the foot bali classic of the east this week, promises 10 bring out all the drama and thrills which find their excuse for existence in hoary tradition.
 While better football will be play ed on many gridirons, this 49th meeting of the Crimson and Blue will pack a Wallop which won't be duplicated elsewhere.
 On the seasons records, Yale is a when the two elevens take the field before some 75,00O spectators in Yale bowl Saturday.
 If any proof were needed that col lege spirit and the will 10 win over an old and traditional rival still has place, however small and dwind- ling, in football, it vas furnished last week at Princeton. Yale figured to beat the Tigers by several touch downs, and was lucky to win at all, after being outplayed through three periods.
 Harvard may be considered an under-dog on Saturday next, but this is not going 10 effect the outcome of the game. What happens during tn GO minutes between the open ing and closing whistles is what they will pay off on.
 As a matter of fact, despite the better record made by Yale this year, many of the football experts are selecting Harvard to win. The Yale offensive is so ineffective that it can be discounted. and if the game can be resolved into a passing contest the Crimson has every ad- vantage. Barry Wood, Harvard 8 quarterback. can throw forwards with the best of therl. and his team- mates. have been well schooled in the business of receiving. Yale can boast no aerial offensive, Tom Fay Tor, the southpaw, being about the only man in the Eli backfeld who can throw a pass effectively.
 Provided that the Harvard line can do as it did a year ago and stop the off-taCkle slants of Albie Booth Yal' s one dependable running back, the game Saturday is likely 10 be won by passing. Harvard aside from Crickard, has no running back worthy of recognition. and is more likely 10 take to the air in an effort to repeat the victory Of 1929.
 The Crimson eleven has developed lateral passing game during the last three seasons of Arnie Hor- Ween's regime, but has not made much yardage with it. Unless the Yale eleven can be fooled even more than usual, the business of lateral passes is likely to be scratched from the ambridge slate before another football seasons rolls around
 When it comes to dumbness in crucial games, few eleyens ever as sembled can equal those of Yale Time after time. superior man-p power from New Haven has succumbed to an alert Harvard offensive This may prove true again next Saturday. all though on paper, Yale certainly fig ures 10 win.

OBrien is favored to win bl cause he has an edge in expcr- fence and on boxing skill, but Smith has the heavier kick" and. if there is q kayo, he has a real chance of being on the right end of it.
 The general prediction is that the bout will not go the limit.
