Claiming that the GO victory scored by the New Britain Rams in the game in New Haven two weeks ago, was nothing but a lucky break" and a "fuke," the New Haven Triangles are coming to this city next Sunday afternoon seeking revenge and confident that they will get 1t. New Britain took the Elm City eleven into camp two weeks ago in New Haven when Radzie- wi1z, Torrington flash, caught a long forward pass on the 20 yard line and was pushed outside on the four yard stripe. New Britain went over with Radziewicz carrying the ball, in the next four downs.
 I,ew Ravens claim of "fluke" resulted from the fact that penalty of half the distance to the goal line was meted out to New Haven for offsi on New Britains fourth down. The locals failed to score the touchdown on the play but went over on the next maneuver.
 Pee Wee" Werwais who played for several years with New Britain pr) football teams visited in this city the other day and he was loud in his boosting that the New Haven CTS would stop Radziewicz this com- iaS Sunday. wen take care of those New Britain backs like mo- Eody's business" was the way Wer- wais put it.
 a New Haven is coming here Sum day with it's lineup intact for the game. The team is travelling un- der the name of the Triangles and Me New Britain defeat is the only dhe suffered so far this season. Strengthened by a stone wall line, the team has number of crack backs who are both experienced and fast.
 .Jones is the quarterback. He is speedy and a good field general. Bruehl. former Hartford star, and Mclean, Georgetown luminary d few seasons ago. are the halfbacks. Druehl is good ball carrier, can punt to perfection and throws ac- carate forward passes. Mclean is a star on any football field. E. l'itz- gerald. one of the two brothers who starred against New Britain in the first game. will be at the full back position.
 sNew Britain will start with the same lineup that began the first same. Conley and Politis will Le ae the wings with CaRnella and Ben- 2u at the tackles. Hubby Be- loin and George Smithwick will form their usual strong defense at the guards while Roger Scully will be in center.

So far Harvard has won 27 games to Dartmouths seven, but that record has no bearing on the although current bear" stories from both camps proclaim numer- ous injuries. Harvard has lost one game, q 60 decision 10 Army, while Dartmouth did not get a real test in running up a 52-0 count against Columbia.

CHARGES FLARE UP IN B|G SIX RACE
Make Investigation Into Claim Of
 Player Subsidizadon

Kansas City, Oct. 23 P-Rumors of an investigation into alleged re- cruiting and subsidizatio fiared forth on the Big Six Conference front today as faculty represent atives of the circuit prepare to leave for a weekend meeting at Columbia, Mo.
 While official information was lacking, reports were current that circumstances surrounding the transfer of Big Jim Bausch, Uni versity of Kansas backfeld star, from the University of Wichita, would be taken up by the faculty representatives.
 Leslie Edmonds. Kansas sports official and Wichita business man, , in his column in the Topeka Daily Capital today says that the eligi- bility of Bausch is marked for con- sideration at the conference. The in vestigaton. Edmonds says. follows a protest made by Prof. w. A. Tarr, Missouri's representative on the l faculty committee. Professor Tarr is quoted in a letter to Walter Henroin. former chairman of the University of Wichita athletic committee, as saying that the University of Mis- souri feels that MT. Bausch went to Kansas in violation of our Confer ence rule concerning recruiting, and we are protesting his eligibility to compete on both a basis of his hav- ing been recruited and receiving money to play
 E. H. Lupton, jr., president of a Topeka insurance firm which en- ploys Bausch, today was quoted by the Kansas City Star as saying that l the K. U. star was paid $75 a month as an advance against his commissions. the arrangement to be effective as long as Bausca remains in school.
 'I may say also," the newspaper quoted Mir Lupton, that I am pay ing a football player at the Kansas State Agricultural college the same amount I am paying Bausch. The Kansas Agge boy is specializing in dry farming and upon graduation is to become manager of a farm own ed by me and my brother"
 MT. Lupton declined to reveal the name of the K. s. A. c. player and added that he was aiding two non athletes, one a student at Michigan and the other at an eastern medi- cal school The insurance company president said Professor Tarr visited him last Tuesday.
 University of Kansas athletic off cials apparently were unperturbed by the reports.

Title Fights at Popular Prices
 Fail to Draw Crowds

New York, Oct. 23 [P-The first experiment with chamuionship fights at popular prices in Madison Square Garden has shown that the innovation is far from popular, unless the contenders can show more than Able Bain.
 Bain, a Newark, N. J., youngster who has had little experience among the light heavyweights, proved only a chopping block for Maxie Rosen- bloom, the light heavyweight cham pion, last night and Maxie defend ed' his title by scoring a technical knockout in the 11th round of a dull bout.
 Even with the prices scaled down to where the best seats cost less than six dollars. only 4,400 of the light faithful turned out and con- tributed some $12,000 to the gate And many of them left the arena before the bout wound to it's cer- tain finish.
 Rosenbloom outclassed the New ark youngSter completely from the first round. but it was not until q minute and 47 seconds of the i 1th weary round had passed that a cut over Bain's left eye, opened in the third frame, grew serious enough tC cause Referee Lou Magnolia to halt the unequal contest. Bain showed nothing that might make him a title contender except in the second round when a couple of clouts to tosenbloom'S body hurt the cham pon a little.

 Pete Sanstol. Norwegian bantam weight, and Joe Scalfaro of New York, fought d 10 round draw. Bot Olin, New York light heavy, won over Willard Dix of Bellingham Wash, in another 10 rounder.

 "The boys try too hard against major opponents in the early sea- son ard they're not ready he says. "Theyre mot in condition for gruel- ling games. haven't learned enough. They get hurt. Look at Harvard, scrimmaged the third day out this season and still suffering from in juries.
 "It would take two teams to push through a schedule of all major games, and there's not enough in ccntive for the second eleven. I do think. though. that there is a future for 150 pound teams"
 Chick believes that the east has been forced to give ground to the west and south in the matter of football supremacy. because Of the multitude of colleges sharing the eastern material compared to the less numerous universities in the west.
 Why there are three major col leges in New York city alone, N. r. t., Columbia and Fordhan, and within the city limits there are four others.

|F|STIC FINANCE
 AT LOWEST EBB
Boxing as a Business Is Back Where Tex RiCkard Found It

New York, Oct 23 (UP)-A cycle of fistic finance, which started on the upswing through the genius of Tex Rickard, reached tops in the Tunney- Dempsey days, and descend ed with a rush through the Sharkey and Schmeling fascos, now is com- plete.
 Boxing, as business. is back where it was when Rickard found it and envisioned his million dollar gates. The petty racketeers who profit hugely in the days of big guaran- tees and little fighting no longer puff their fifty cent cigars with their feet on the tables in million aires offices. The millionaires, be- ing business men. are thoroughly tired of the conniving fight manag- ers-now that the association no 1 longer is profitable.
 1 Madison Square Garden has an nounced: No more big guarantees l for fighters" The boys, that is, must work on a percentage. Obvi- ously this is fair and business-like, although it's taking some of the worst offenders a little time to get used to the idea.
 The idea of guarantees for fight CTS did not originate with Tex Rick ard, but under him the system reached it's peak. Finally, it near ly broke him.
 It was Tex's idea always to have a string to his fighters. Thus, when Jack Dempsey signed to defend his title against Gene Tunney, for the largest guarantee ever given a box CT, Rickard also had it arrange for the title should be under Tex s promotion.
 Tunney did win. and then was guaranteed approximately quarter of a million dollars for a return bout. Dempsey. of course. had n have another guarantee for his share, and altogether Tex was Tn hook for nearly s1,OOO.0oo before the bout in Chicago in 1927. That bout went over the top, with rec ord gate of s2,65O, 1000, so everything was all right.
 Then came the downward turn Tunney, after defeating Dempsey a second time. promptly demanded an even larger guarantee for his next defense of the heavyweight championship. Rickard gave it, and was obligated to pay Gene nearly $500,000 regardless of the opponent and the gate. The opponent proved to be Tom Heeney and the gate considerably less than Tunneys guarantee, Madison Square Garden taking it on the chin.
 Even with that lesson in mind the new group at the head of Madi- son Square Garden, successors tc the late Rickard. continued tht practice of giving exorbitant guar antees to the second raters who came along after Tunney's retire ment. Jack Sharkey always rate l s1o0,000 minimum for his fights Schmeling, Stribling and others wery guaranteed more than they evvr could draw in at the gate, and SC the system collapsed with consider. able loss to Madison Square Garden which now has declared itself anc cried quits.
