 With former varsity captains Eddie Horwitz (and Paul Fodder leading the attack, the graduates jumped into an to lead in the first six minutes of the game. From that point on to the end of the half, however, the varsity found itself and played well enough to cut the Alumni lead to 14-11 when the teams left the floor at inter- mission time.
 Spectacular basketball marked the first ten minutes of the second half, a varsity spurt enabling the team to knot the count at 20 all with minutes to go. The game see-sawed a few minutes left Bill Saner, football guard, Tipped in LrcS tIy tHdt put IHc varsity III front. The undergraduates were able to hold this slim lead to the finish.

TWO COLLEGIATE
 EDITORS CLAIM FOOTBALL MURDER
New Britain Boy, John Szymanski, Getting Worse From Paralysis -MOst Writers Defend Game

New York, Dec 9.-(UP)-John Szymanski, Fordham football tackle, continued in a grave con- dition to-day From injuries received in the Bucknell game November 21.
 Hospital authorities reported there was no change in the ath- lete's condition during the past 12 hours following his slight rally early last night. Szymanski's in- jury was diagnosed as a subluxa- tion of the spine. His left side is paralyzed, except for the tips of his fingers.
 Szymanski was taken to the hos pital after he collapsed on the field immediately after he was injured. His condition appeared to be im- proving until he suffered a re- lapse Monday.
 Still Battling
 Meanwhile this latest case of serious injury to a player on a major college team rekindled the controversy among editors of campus publications o.I the Colum- bia university's spectators charges that football is organized mur- de:" and "semi-professional racket"
 Seven out of eight student edi- tors in a survey covering the east, middle west and south disagreed with Reed Harris, anti-football crusading editor of the Columbia Spectator.
 The Student Daily of the Uni versity of Oklahoma, edited by Jack Fischer, was the only paper found in the survey that echoed Harris beliefs.
 The Central Point
 '"Thirty-one lives in one year is too high a price to pay for any game" Fischer said.
 Other publications defending football in the face of this years toll were: University, of Kansas University of Chicago, Brown, Amherst, University of Georgia and Yale.

Three Game Title Playoff Planned
 for City Circuit

Waterbury's City Amateur Bas- ketball league will have two win ners this season who will then play two of three' series to de- eide who's who so far as the city championship this season Is con- cerned. That much was voted on last night at a meeting of man. agers and officials in the City Hall. only the winning of both first and second rounds of play by the same team can prevent a play-off, but the action is sure to be interesting no matter how is winds up, league officials feel.
 A split season" was unanimous ly agreed upon last night. Next Sunday afternoon, the Darlington team, including Mandell Green and Red Smithwick will take on the Washington Hills in the 3:30 game with the Brooklyns and Sacred Hearts playing the first contest from 2:30 p. m. on. Glenn Briotti will officiate the first game with Ray Paradis In charge of the Car rii. gton- Hills clash. The league made a profit of about $35 after all expenses were paid last Sunday.

games. Bernier had the. pin boy on six alleys all fixed for the games, but 1t took Jim Rowley to fix him at the end of the third game.
 Alex Hauser made his initial ap- pearance of the season as a substi- ute on the Lux Clock team and his spectacular finish in the first game kept this team from losing three games. Alex got a double spare and strike in the 9th and 10th boxes to collect 37 pins.
 It appears as though Ralph TremagliO was building more than houses this week, for he sure did build up his average. His score in first two games decided them in favor of the Verriker Painters.
 The McVerry team is sure hav- ing plenty of tough breaks. Two weeks ago they hit 536 and lost, then 522 to lose and this week lost on 511 score. Mike collected 355 in his three games.

New Haven, Conn, Dec e- (UP)--Dr Marvin M. Stevens. Yale's head football coach. would appoint . commission to investigate the cause of the mounting toll of football fatali- ties.
 He told the Yale News his first step would be a "cOmpre- hensive and sympathetic inves- tigatiOn by . representative committee, such as Q ncuroi. Ogist, . public spirited man of good standing, football coaches and players"
 Stevens denounced "wild guesses" as to the cause of foot. ball deaths and opposed elim- ination of the kick-off wedge formation. ''I do not know of . single death that was caused by the flying wedge," he said.

The Chicago Cubs to-day had three offers for Wilson, with every indication that the Cardinals pro- position would be accepted.
 The Cards, it was said, on reli- able authority, had offered tn e Cubs either George Watkins or Ernie Orsatti, outfielders, for Will son and a small sum of cash. If the Cubs refuse either Watkins or Orsatti, it was said that they can have Burleigh Grimes, world series pitching hero, for Wilson and a large sum of cash.
 The Boston Braves also have made an offer for Wilson, but they want a guarantee that Wilson's physical condition is good and that his eyesight is not impaired. The Cubs refuse to give any such guar antee.
 The Cincinnati Reds also have made an offer for Wilson but it contains a provisional clause which does not meet with the approval of Manager Rogers Hornsby.
 Mysterious!
 Wilson dropped from a 1856 hit- ter in 1881 and wound up the sea- son in suspension. He drew a sal- ary of $37,500 last season, the highest paid any National League rlaver except Hornsby, who was under a player-manager contract. If the Cardinals get Wilson, his salary probably win be slashed to S10,000 or $12,000.
 The Cards are anxious to dis pose of Grimes but thus far his price tag has scared away all clubs except the Cubs. Grimes is the highest paid player on the Cards team drawing salary of between $18,0O0 and $2O,000.
 Not a single trade was made during the opening day's session of the majors yesterday, but several managers announced the players they were bidding for. Some of these foNow:
 New York Yankees: Pitcher George Blaeholder, St Louis Browns, and Pitchers Ted Lyons and Vic Frasier, Chicago White Sox.
 Detroit Tigers: Infielder Ralph Kress, St Louis Brown. First Base n,an Joe Judge and Pitcher Carl Fischer, Washington.
 Cleveland Indians: Infielder Ralph Kress, St Louis, Infielder Minter Hayes, Chicago White Sox (recently obtained from Washing tOn).
 The Browns are willing to trade Kress, but when Cleveland offered either Outfelder Dick Porter or First Baseman- Outfielder Eddie Morgan for him St Louis turned it down and countered with de- rnand for Outfielder Earl Averill. The Indians would not consider trading or selling Averill for any consideration.

 The Standings
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-12-09

Frank Monaghan showed some real bowling form last week in capturing high single with a score of 147. But for missing two hard spares in the early part of this game, Frank would have given the boys a good mark to shoot at for the season.
 It begins to look as though Jim Flanagan and his crew were going somewhere. They have won the last nine games played and now hold a lead of three games. Blanx- hard's Architects did a lot of plan- ming for the game but couldn't keep out of the holes, while F1an- agan, Gumpper and Hyiand all turned in good scores.
 Billy Cahill finally got started for the season in his postponed match against Mascolo, collecting his first strike of the season and hitting over the 100 mark in each game.
 A little change doesn't hurt any body now and then. At least 1t seems to be working out that way with Guy Pugra, the dapper Bank street shoe man. Since signing up with the TOpnOtchers, Guy has been quite consistent in winning games for this team.
 Harvey Pelletier couldn't get his mind off his business in the first few weeks with the result that he was always finding the holes. Now he is doing his plumbing by day and bowling by night and is show ing his real bowling form. He won the first game for his mates this week by finishing up with a double spare to put his team ahead by one pin.
 The law of averages doesn't always hold good. Cy Dxileskis and his power men bOwled under 1,50O for the first time this year and yet won as many games as they have any other night, taking two games from Joe Jarlett first place cOntenders.
 Dr Cottiero was the shining light in Mascolo's two game win over Tougas, with his score of 359 in the three games. Carl Demenske saved the last game for the Tougas team, having strike fill on a spare in the ninth box to give his team an 8 pin victory.
 The Courtney Butchers cut up the Lumbermen in great fashion last week winning all three games by decisive scores. However, the Lumberman were doubIy handi- capped due to the absence of legal talent. Jim Courtney claims that when Joe Byrnes and George Hoyes start showing their real form. his team will walk away with the hOnOrs.
 Jack Kelly was painting all kinds of figures on the alleys last week but bowling marks and Joe Finley walked away with two games. Captain Monaghan saved a couple of his mates from taking the gas by saving one game with his 147 score.
 The North Finders of Tony Pepe turned in good scores In the first and third games to win over the CalsilI team who were handicapped by the absence of two men. BIil Cayanaugh saved the first game bs finishing with double spare to win the game by { pins.
 It was q great night for George McDuff, Johnson's fashion de- slgner, who hit we'll over the 100 mark In each game. Too bad, George, that the team was hitting them with you.

broadcasting during 1882 was blocked when ''eeRtain clubs" signed radio contracts for next sea son late Monday.
 The American League voted to prohibit any radio contracts being made for 1888 before the two ma jors have held their joint meeting next December.
 Stanley (Bucky) Harris has been signed to manage the Detroit club again under a 1-year contract. Jewel Ems, Pittsburgh manager for the past 2 1-2 years. has been signed as Detroit coach.
 The National League attendance declined 15 per cent last season over 1880 but President John Heydler attributed the decrease largely to the runaway race by the Cardinals, which led the league or were tied for first place all but three days during the season.
 Another Point
 The American League voted against artificial double-headers produced by moving up games, but the National League voted to per init them again next season with the permission of the visiting club. The matter will be discussed fur ther at the joint session tomorrow.
 Commissioner K. M. Landis de- clared Pitcher Roy Sherid inelig-- ible for a year for violating one Of baseball's rules. Sherid played with the New York Yankees last year and was traded to the St Paul American Association team, with Jimmy Rees, Pitcher McAyoy and cash for Second Baseman Jack Saltzgaver. The ruling will make it necessary for the Yankees 10 substitute another player for Sherid.
