Look directly overhead tonight,
n the sky Il clear. and you win be
looking toward the new world"
or ninth planet in our solar system,
which has just been discovered by
astronomers Of the Lowell Observa-
sory at flagstaff, Ariz.
III now takes its place along with
Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Nep-
tune. the last Of which was discov-
cred nearly 100 years ego.
OF course, you won't be able TO
see this new planet for It L. $500
million miles away from the sun
and the reflected light that comes
from it is SO dim that wen the
most powerful telescopes have diff
ficulty in detecting II. But its To-
cation can be marked by obscrva-
ton Of tbs stars.
This location, according to as
tronomers, Is slightly south and 70
the west OF the brightest star
directly above us, IL we look at the
sky mt 8 o'clock local time. This
bright star, Follux, is close 10 al
most as bright q star, Castor both
of which are termed The Twins"
Il Due South Of North Star
Another way to locate the new
planet is 70 face north and first
locate the well known Big Dip
per" This group Of stars, forming
n large dipper In the sky, VIII be
found toward the northeast horizon,
the two enc stars along the outer
part OF the dipper pointed toward
the North Star. Coming back, due
south from the North Star our eyes
will detect The Twins, Castor and
Poliux, directly overhead.
The new planet, although S720
million miles away from M earth
"a quite close to US, as stellar dis
tances 70, while the stars like Cas-
Ger and Pollux are millions upon
millions Of miles farther. The reason
why we can't see the planet Is the
extremely small amount OF the suns
light that IL reflects toward US Due
"a is extreme distance from the
sur, Il gets much less light than
even the planet Neptune which
recelves one nine- hundredth the
light we set.
Doubt n Life Exists There
T1hls distance from the sun also
leads astronomers TO say that the
newly $ discovered planet Is ex-
tremeiy cold and that life as we
know II cannot exist there. At
Yncsphere like that we breathe
would be- practically o solid there.
Although II Is generally LETT 70
the discoverer OF the new planet
to name II, astronomers believe
as name will be that OF another
god or goddess OF Greek mythology,
like those OF the other planets.
For the present, however, II Is
merely PLANET X"
The size OF this new planet Is a
matter OF conjecture. Two years
ago, Prof. william H. Pickering, one
az the worlds greatest astronomers,
estimated its size IS less than that
Of the earth, or some $500 miles n
diameter. We. some believe that It
NAV be- ' larger than Jupiter,
the largest known planet. which Is
about $500 miles In diameter.
First Discovery Since 1886
Many more observations will have

thematical figuring done, however,

Los Angeles, Oct. 13 P-Queen
 Glenna Collett with four cham ionships to her credit since her first appearance in national play in 1919
 came to the defense of her Ameri-
 can title today over the menacing Los Angeles Country club golf
 course against a field of 99 aspir- ants.
 One Of the greatest shot makers in the feminine. ranks the New
 York woman will seek her fifth crown in a dozen years, with three former champions, nine interna- tional team members, and the run nerup to her 1929 title among the contenders.
 | With only one of the entrants, Miss Marion Rollins, of Santa Cruz, i Cal, able to break through the women's par of S1 in practice rounds, scores in the low nineties were anticipated among the 32 quail ifiers in todays medal round of IS holes.
 Miss Rollins Well Liked
 Miss Rollins, q former women's national champion. has found the severe course, 6,635 yards in length, suited to her hard driving game. and has been frequently mentioned as the woman for Miss Collett to beat.
 Eastern entrants especially have found the course something of an enigma, for the Bermuda grass fair ways cut down the roll of their drives, and the greens of creeping bent are treacherous.
 The women's national tourna- ment probably will seek the final appearance of Mrs. Dorothy Camp
 bell Hurd, who as Miss Dorothy Campbell first won the title in 1909, repeated the following year, and was crowned champion again in 1924. She signified before the seven day test opened that this probably would be her last attempt to win the wom- ems classic of the links. The other national champion Of the yesteryear is Mrs. Helen B. Stet- son of Philadelphia, who captured the crown in 1926. Went Behind Mrs. Presslcr The Pacific coasts chief hope for it's first winner rests in Mrs. Leona Pressler, San Gabriel. Cal. who last year lost to Miss Collett at Oakland Hills, Birmingham. Mich. four and three. Miss Rollins, while from Santa Cruz, is representing the na- tional golf and tennis club of New York.
 Mrs. o. s. Hill, probably the most promising entry from the middle west, and 1929 western champion, will carry the colors of that sec tion of the country.
 Of the younger set, Miss Helen Hicks, 19-year-old girl of the h. wood club of New York. and Miss
 Edith Quier. Reading, Pa, are oX- pected to offer some formidable playing.
 Others of the ranking entrants include Mrs. Stewart Hanley, De- troit: Miss Maureen Orcutt. Ha- worth, N. J.; Miss Virginia Van Vie, Chicago: Miss Bernicve Wall. Osh- kosh, Wis, and Miss Peggy Wattles, Buffalo.

PAWNEES SCALP MOHICANS
 AND SHOW GREAT PROMISE
Local Eleven Eaters Bridgeport Team Into Submission and Wins 26-O Victory-Quarti and Maguda Star for Winners - Running Plays and Aerial Attack Both Prove Strong-Lne Holds Park City Team in Check Throughout Game.

In one Of the finest football games played in the present season the Pawnees of this city defeated the Mohicans of Bridgeport by 26 to q at Willow Brook park yesterday. Fans who attended the game were surprised at the exhibition of foot ball displayed by the New Britain team and were loud in their predic- tions that the boys from the eastern section of the city will make their mark this year.
 The Bridgeport team never show ed itself to be in the same class with the speedy Pawnee outfit. A forward passing attack second to none seen in this city in many years and a wonderful collection of plays for line plungers, off tackle smashes and end runs showed the Pawneas are of championship caliber. If they do not have the handicaps of weight and inefficient officiating during the remaining games on the schedule, they should go far, it appeared after yesterday.
 A squad of 30 players on the Park City team was used at various inter- vals but the Pawnees could not be stopped. "Whitey' Straus of Bridge port seemed to be the principal ob- stacle with several tackles.
 Score Four Touchdowns
 Quarti gave a great exhibition of end running and gained many yards before one of the secondary defense players from Bridgeport could get him. Maguda was the Pawnees' ace. He made his teams first touch- down of the season. The initial score came after Turner had been stopped on the three-yard line fol- lowing a 20 yard run. It took just one line smack by Maguda to put the ball over.
 The next score came in the third quarter when Ostertag crossed the last marker on 50-yard run. The third score came after the Pawnees had marched down the field. Quar- ti made the counter on a line plunge
 A perfectly executed forward pass that was thrown about 35 yards was caught by Peterson, who ran 20 yards for touchdown, in the final quarter. Zeal. end, caught three passes and went over for another score but the team was called back and given a five-yard offside penalty
 The Pawnee line did fine work all afternoon. Only two first downs were scored on it. Bridgeport com- pleted one forward pass while the Pawnees were successful in nine long losses.
 The New Britain eleven hopes to continue it's winning streak against the Bristol Maple Ends next Sum- day. Practice sessions will be held on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

C0LLEGE FOOTBALL
 PROGRAM STEPHENS
Preliminary Games Give Way to
 Important Ones This Week

New York Oct. 13 Rp-The soft spots in the eastern football sched- ule which marked the earlier part Of the season are few and far be- tween during the rest of the gridiron program. Their tuning up period completed last Saturday, the big teams move on this week to an al- | most complete set of major games Fordham and Boston College open the weeks action with their annual Columbus Day clash today. On Sat urday Fordham tackle Holy Cross, another strong and still undefeated team while Joe McKenney's Eagles play the powerful Villanova eleven. A number of eastern leaders are scheduled to wander from their home territory for intersectional games with strong mid-western op- ponents. In the van Of this group, Carnegie Tech. fresh from a great triumph over Georgia Tech, goes to South Bend, Ind, to play Notre Dame's 1880 stay-at-homes, who gave Navy sound trouncing Sat urday.
 Penn to Play Wisconsin
 Pennsylvania. still untested l against strong team, plays Wiscon- sin at Madison with an even chance against the team which laced Chi cago. Colgate, the casts high-scor- ing team, journeys to East Lansing to tackle Michigan State. On Fri day night a farily successful West Virginia eleven plays Detroit with little hope of gaining revenge for last years 36-o trouncing.
 New York University and Mis- souri provide the leading intersec- tional offering in the east with the Violet sophomores strongly favored over a tiger team that has not reached it's usual standard. Haver- ford meets Kenyon from Ohio and George Washington entertains South Dakota in the other east-west clashes. Navy takes on a nearly southern opponent In Duke. Du- quesne meets Howard of Birming- ham in another Friday night fea- ture and Davis and Elkins ventures into South Carolina to play Fur man.
 Harvard Host to Army
 With a 2o-20 tie from last year to be ironed out to a decision, Harv- ard and Army meet at Cambridge for the leading fixture on the all- east part of the program. Both cams have been hampered by in juries but hope to get their full strength on the field for the fray. Yale, upset by Georgia last week, will try to regain its prestige by downing Brown, which overturned Princeton, while the Tigers hope to perform the same feat and to avenge last years defeat by winning from still untried Cornell team.
 Pittsburgh, victorious over one major opponent goes to Syracuse for it's second big clash. meeting Vic Hansons team, which has rolled up big scores against comparatively weak opposition. Datmouth gets its first real test against Columbia but there is little prospect of a repeti- ton of last years 34 to 0 score. Georgetown, another high scorer, plays Western Maryland, which scored a TO upset last year.
 Penn State has comparatively easy prospect in weak Lafayette eleven. Lehigh takes on Gettys- burg, which already has an upset against Villanova to its credit. Temple and Washington and Jef- ferson appear closely matched.

RAMS SEIZE BREAK
 AND EARN VICTORY
RadZieWiCZ Runs 76 Yards on
 Pass, Then PlungeS Over

A long forward pass to Vic Rad ziewicz. who collected it on his own 20 yard line and would have scored had he not stepped out on the four yard line, put the New Britain Rams in scoring position in the game against the New Haven Triangle Pros yesterday in New Haven. Aft CT four line plays RadzieUicz put over the winning touchdown. The final score was to in favor of the Politismen.
 The New Britain team outclassed the Elm City crew and it is the gen. eral opinion of the Hardware City fans present that the score should have been greater. The Triangles failed to make a first down through the New Britain line, the gains be- ing made on few forward passes. It was a hard fought battle and both teams put up fine exhibition of football The Triangles were game and it took all the power in the New Britain backfield and a timely break to put over the only touchdown. The ball was on the four-yard line with four downs to make it. Three times the Rams belted the line but the ball was still on the wrong side of the final chalk line. The fourth play was less successful than the other three and the New Haven boys ball had not an over-anxious Elm City linesman been offside and New Britain given another opportunity.
 Score Finally Made
 "Rady" had to fight. squirm, wriggle and twist to get to the line but he managed to get it over by an inch.
 New Britain was not as successful in forward passes as the New Haven team. that had been praticing them all week. Druehl, one of the state's S outstanding forward paas tossers, was successful on few occasions. "Unk' Conley caught a nice pass for a good gain at one time.
 The stars for New Britain were John Cannella, last years Fordham player who joined the team for the first time Sunday, Radziewich and Conley. The Fitzgerald brothers were the New Haven stars.
