 as Catholic Univ.
 FrOSh ROut Rival

The Catholic U frosh eleven re- gently tagged the St Johns fresh men of Annapolis with Q 25-0 set back in Brookland bowl In Wash ington, D. C.. which was ample revenge for the defeat sustained at the hands of the same team last year.
 The outstanding feature of the combat was the sensational 39- yard run of Pete Dranginis. former TOrrington high three letter man. The Polish lad plunged of tackle in the second period and twisting and squirming his way through the whole Saints team scampered down the field for co yards and touch. down. It was q brilliant run, un- covering a potential Cardinal star in the fleet and exclusive Drangi. his.
 Dranginis is well known to local sport addicts for his proweas as a TorringtOn high hoop. diamond and gridlron iuminaFy, He also paatimed in the City Amateur Hane- bail leaMsan hare for q short while

South Ends and Ponies on Edge for Sunday Con- test to Settle Team Standing

The South End football eleven of this city will appear against the Thomaston Ponies in the second game between the rivals on the coming Sunday in the Clocktown. Arrangements for the game were completed last night.
 The Ponies won the first contest by a score of TO when Mickey Fill, quarterback of the Thomaston team fell on a tumble, four yards from Waterbury's goal line, and which the Ponies took advantage of to score a touchdown. A part of the 5000 fans at the contest, claim that the South End outplay- ed the Little Horses" all the way. However, the local aggregation will have a chance to prove its boast in the second meeting on Sunday.

An other bumper crowd is expected to witness the second struggle.

CATHOLIC U. AND MANHATTAN MEET
 AGAIN SATURDAY
Rivals Clash in Washing ton in Annual Game Jaspers Won Last Year, 7-6

Washington, Nov 4-Having out. scored North Carolina State and Duquesne its last two times out, Catholic university's football team this week is preparing for another trial of the Notre Dame system. On the nome field a 2:30 o'clock Sat- urday, Johnny Laws Manhattan college charges are to furnish the opposition.
 A year ago Manhattan nosed out c. U., 7-6. Since both factions this season boast vastly improved repre- sentation, however, a still more sparkling brand of opposition may be looked for.
 Since losing its seasons inaugu- ral to Boston college after leading for three periods, Catholic has dazzled with it's diversified attack. Some of this glamor was lost Fri day night when Johnny Oliver, midget quarterback and strategist extraordinary. had his left ankle fractured against Duquesne.
 There is little question but what Oliver's loss will affect his team. By alternating Charley McVean and Fred Guarnieri in the back field, however, this setback may be balanced somewhat.

Annapolis, Md, Nov 3-When St Johns of Annapolis sends its team against Yale at New Ha- ven Saturday 1t will present among its players true 'irOn man" of football.

 New York. Nov 4-Coach Chick Meehan and his New York Univer- sity Violets face a difficult task Saturday in their attempt to up- hold eastern football prestige against the attack of the Univer- sity of Georgia.
 Unless N. Y. U. can turn in a vic- tory--and stopping Georgia s march to the national championship ap- pears to be task beyond the capa- bilities of the Violets-the east will be forced to admit that football as played in other sections is su- perior.
 West Did Well
 Yale lost to Georgia; Pitt lost to Notre Dame; Princeton lost to Michigan; Carnegie Tech lost to Purdue and Notre Dame and N. Y. U, was upset by Oregon.
 Pennsylvania victory over Wis consin; Syracuse triumph over Michigan State and Harvard's fine showing against Texas have been the casts only important victories.
 With Harvard, Cornell, Syracuse and Penn as the leading undefeated  elevens in the east, Harvard gener- ally is regarded as the only really strong team in the sector-and even Harvard has yet to. prove that it is entitled to national rank ing.
 On the GallOp
 Georgia, undefeated to date, with victories over V. P. l., Yale, North Carolina, Vanderbilt and Florida. has been established as an to favorite.
 Three other teams will have an opportunity to strengthen eastern prestige in Saturday games but Navy and Pennsylvania are con ceded little prospect of victory against Ohio State and Notre Dame respectively. while Fordham is no better than an even-mone pet against Detroit.

week was taken by the leader of the power clan, who managed to squeeze out a score of Al. The teams are bowling on new averages this week and We will find some of them teams who have been on the receiving end of the handicap, now spOtting their Op. pOnents and the going will be a little tougher. The Power team will spot all opponents as they have maintained the high average of 521 for their six games. On the other hand, Armand Blanchard and his men will receive handicap from all opponents as their team average Is lowest with 426.
 Joe Harpin has a lot of faith In signs, especially anything relating to Help. So Joe signed upN Al Demenske, better known as Here Comes Help. However, the help has not arrived yet and Joe has requested Al to bring one of his trucks over the pull some of their balls out of the gutter.
 Captains arc requested to get in touch with some member of the waiting list when he knows that a member of his team will be un- able to bowl on the scheduled night.
 The games during the first two weeks created some good marks for the boys to shoot at, with Cy Dvileskis and his team taking most of the honors. High three games Is held by the Dvileskis team with score of 1,577, while Tony Pepe's North Enders are second high with a total of 1.564. In the team sim gles, the Power men again lead with a 545 count, while the Mo- Verry clan are second high with 543.
 In the individual scores, Frank IIeary leads for high single with his 145 game, and Cy Is second with his 141 score. John Bennett hit 03 without having any marks to aid him. Individual high three games belongs to Dvileskis with a total of 35O, while Joe Harpin collected 38O. Bill Faeth and Cy both collected strikes to lead this field.
 A communication was received last Thursday morning from Wa tertown, requesting the writer to explain why Jim Lord didn't get more pins in the last box of his second game. I would suggest that the Watertown representa- lives get in touch with Mike Nc, Verry, who claims that Lord and his school masters are too smart juggling the figures.
 The first perfect box of the year was made by Carl GeminO, who hit three successive strikes to score a 30 in the third box of the second game. By the way this team from the North End have sure been set. ting terrific pace. They are now sporting a 51O average for next month.
 The "Ammities" have new cap tain this year and according to rumors along Bank street, they have the championship in the big. The old captain. Jim Rowley. showed up his successor. however, and featured in their two game win. Bub Wright sewed up the final game by collecting 50 pins In last three boxes to hit lS5.
