In the after noon Commercial takes on Bran ford at Lighthouse while Hi1lhouse has Crosby of Waterbury as her second nocturnal opponent.
 Commercial coaches have been busy this week ironing out @ few minor defects noted in last weeks tilt with Fairfield. The passing at- tack is functioning well and if they can bring the kicking up to stan dard Commercial followers will witness a fine battle. This contest is scheduled for 3:30.
 Hillhouse. after showing the way to Bulkeley last week, is primed and anxious to overcome Crosby.

Head Coach Stevens and the Mree members of his staff, Adam Walsh, Charlie Comerford and Benny Friedman, supervised the long dummy drill, using three teams in a series of sharp plays, m which forward passing was dressed to the limit.
 On the first team, which 1t was announced by Coach Stevens would lace Georgia on Saturday after noon in the bowl, were the follow hg: Left end, Flygare; left tackle, Wilbur; left guard, Strange; center, Doonan; right guard, Rotan; right tackle, Hall; right end, Barres; quarter, Parker; left half. Booth; light half. Taylor: fullback, Muhl- keld. walsh shouted instructions tn making holes and blocking to khe Iinefnen, while Stevens and Friedman followed closely the work If the backs in the reeling off of offensive plays.
 Guard Berth Open
 While the position of left guard, made vacant through the injury hst week of Mark Tyson is still ppen. the fact that Strange went through the team on which Cap- hin Booth worked yesterday, indi- kates that he will get the call for he place Saturday. Sauer, last years freshman guard, is very much in the running for the place, bowever. Sauer was in that posi- bon on the second team yesterday.
 KtIcullen on Scrubs
 The second team went through Is work with this makeup: left bnd, Hawley; left tackle, Kilcullen; left guard, Saner; center, Hol- sombe; right guard. Converse; right tackle, Uihlein; right end, Sargent quarter, Sandberg; left half, Crowley; right half, Todd; sullback, lowering.
 The first string replacements are n fine shape physically and should give. a good account of themselves when they get into what is expect ed to be about as stiff a game as ghe Ellis will figure in this autumn. The Yale coaches have no misgiv- ngs as to the strength of the Georgia team which will be in the bowl this week seeking to tie Har- tard's record of taking three straight games from the Blue. No other team but Harvard has done t.

KNAPP SUBS FOR
 SIMS ON NICHOLS BUSH RING CARD
Hand Injury Pushes N!g:s:.= N!g:.::= gatnck Boy Off the Card--Main Bout Rivals in Good Condition

With one exception, the entire boxing card headed by George Nichols of Buffalo and Willie Bush is ready for work next Thursday night in a postponed show to be staged at the Waterbury Arena on Phoenix avenue. Ernie Sims, who was to have boxed Sal Carter of Middletown had some more trouble with his brittle hands, fracturing a thumb in training. The injury was bad enough to cause his removal from the card, Carmen Knapp of New Haven being substituted to take on Carter. Knapp, is a game, hard-hitting, clever little boy, who will give the experienced Carter plenty to think about, but will hardly give him the battle that Sims could.
 Rarin' to Go
 Five days of intensive training has put Nichols in top shape for Bush, who also is in fine form during his daily workouts at the Coppetto gym. There will be plenty of slugging in the main number, with Bush's weight liable to play an important part in swaying the decision in his favor, though he will have to keep his courage with him from start to finish to hold of the aggressive, charging. hard punching Buffalo boxer.
 First Pro Bout
 Torrington fans will be down to see their favorite Eddie Jessur make his first professional show ing. Jessup, a heavy hitting heavyweight draws Andy Strong the Washington walloper as his op. ponent, and you may be sure An. drew will endeavor to do some wal. loping on his own account. 4 brisk demand for tickets assure. the promoters of a near-capacity house.

The result was unchanged and the scambling continued. "What your name?" Casey asked the B team center. [. Casey" the boy answered. |. Immediately, stock in B teams center took a sharp upward trend.

B. A. C. BOWLING
 CHATTER

The 1931-1932 Season of the Brooklyn Athletic Club Bowling league opened last Monday even ing at the St Joseph's Alleys with a 1O0% turnout of the bowlers and a crowd of rooters that taxed the capacity of the St Joseph's alleys.
 "Chatter'' Michael Morrissey our newly crowned chairman started the competition by rolling a per- feet strike on alley 9-1O.
 Our good old friend Matt Dun- phy watched the boys do their stuff on the alleys, you know, Matt has retired from the bowling game af- ter some 25 years or so of action on the alleys. Take it from me, Matty will be in their rolling those balls down the alleys before the first series is over. You know Matty, you can't get away from the game so easily.
 Edward Devine took all honors for the evening by rolling 13S for high single. 373 for high three and 124 for high average.
 "Choo Choo" Collins took hon. ors as runner-up to our Edward by knocking down 129 for high single, $50 for high three and 116 for high average. Those colored glasses of "Choo Choo" certainly him to see those pins. Dint forget your glasses next week "Choo Choo."
 "Anchor' Colucci the man who made the combination sandwich famous, lived up to his name by munching II famous Croce & Co., lucci combination sandwiches dur. ing the three games, and thereby remaining anchored in the last position, averaging a 77 for each of the three games.
 Those two Eddies, Kazemekas and Danisavage, looked pretty good on the alleys with their knickers, but their bowling didn't look so hot. A suggestion, boys, wear your long pants and get some more practice rolling those balls on the alley and not into the gutter.
 Friend Myles Kelly wasn't heard very much last Monday evening. Two reasons for that: list. With "Chatter" Morrissey on his team and the "Chatter" hitting on all 12 Poor Mqles couldn't get going. End. Myles is secretly cultivating his voice for the minstrel and as Myles knows, the best way to cul- tivate your voice is to keep quiet.
 Dom. DiVito the man who put the Burlesque shows on a paying basis. could not get going on ac- count of a bad arm. But of course the season is young yet. mean the bowling season.
 Those underground men Mulville and Begnal did not show up for the opening night, evidently they must have had other important business to attend to.
 Our president, Representative Daniel J. Mahaney was also among the missing. Chairman Morrissey got hot under the collar because Dan did not show up, but was somewhat relieved when Mike re- ceived a telegram from Dan stating that he will positively appear next Monday evening to show the boys the new hook ball he has develop ed up Hartford way this past sum- mer.
 The writer wishes to express his sympathy to Johnny DeVito, who hasn't got 8 ghost of a chance of winning a team prize this season whatsoever. With those four com mittecmen on his team-Bessette, Morrissey, Kelly and Romanousky, Johnny will certainly have his hands full to pull the team out or tight spots.

New York proposes to have the soldierly Army eleven play the scholarly Harvard team in a Gotham ball park for the relief of the unem- ployed.

 Bang! That dear readers, is the fall for the high and mighty sheriff Jenusaitis team. These boys start ed on with enough vim and vigor to beat any team on the alleys but when Doc Staneslow hits 247, Banker Kazemeias 261, Al Francis 29O, Wonder Joe Yanayich 2S7 and Capt Jenusaitis 3O9 total 1894. it's good bye Vim and Wigor.
 Sexton Vaitukaitis bore down in every box and that, aided by Sun Parlor Dan Stokes unbelievable S27 score kept this team at the top of the league while his closest com- petitor, Fritz Dulskis, took two and lost on to the Arnauskas clan.
 It would not be amiss at this time to comment on Doc Selens' heroic attempt to put his team in the three win column with a 1O5- 1SS.1S1, total S69 score. Wonder how Doc worked that with the pin boy? The other extreme was Lieut. Matt Balanda with scores of 52- 87-59 total 10S. Better use the shotgun, Matty.
 A 3 game winner was Father Kazlauskas with spark plug Al Kasidas as high scorer (310). Dodging those tacks while pacing the floor with Al Jr has put Kasi- das in tip top shape, 1t seems.
 Kaxlauskas' victim was Acting Captain Al Judge Bronsky whose quintet rolled the magnanimous score of 1,286, maybe two soup Bill Lesunaitis could tell us more about this.
 A team that is showing signs of strength is that af Captain Pat verbickas, with Baltrukonis as lead off man, steady Johnny Stan- kus, no justice Joe March and Whitey Zubras next to anchor, we look forward to this gang furnish ing many an upset.
 Another pill roller who has Joined the IL. I. F. forces is Mister Joe Klish, my oh, my but won't the girls hearts go bumpity bump busting ball as evidenced by his opening night s2i score. Another LasIy, Charles of newspaper fame, has been added to the roster and will prove . valuable addition to Eddie Yanavich with his better than 100 average.
 don't mind losing one close game said Captain Ed Bobbin. but when Engineer Stiklius hits 342 and Hop Sheron crashes back into form with s1s my team should be on the winning side of the ledger. Why not give every man a rabbits foot, Ed?
 Wonder how long Eddie Ice satula will average 100, and will Fkitx Dulslkis and his two brothers, Pete and Anthony, ever drop below 325 srores. Won't we have fun when Matt Balanda and Al Judge Br0nsI<y clash Rs lead off men on their respective teams this week.
