With Pauline Uzcudun disap- proved by the New York state ath- letic commission as an opponent for Primo Camera in Johnston's first show, November 13, the "boy bandit" is attempting to match Camera with Victoria Campolo or Pauline with Tommy Loughran. Ernie Schaaf or Mickey Walker as a substitute attraction.
 Still After PushOvers
 Campolo is eager for the chance with Camera but the Italian and his manager, Leon See, want cas- fer opposition. See says that he will not accept the Campolo match but will match Primo with Pauline in Newark, Philadelphia, Havana, Chicago or Detroit if the commits sion does not change its stand.
 Other feature bouts proposed by Johnston included Mickey Walker vs Max Schmeling at Miami in February; Schmeling vs Jack Shar- key at New York in June. and Jack Dempsey against Camera, Sharkey or Schmeling.
 Sharkey vs Schmeling?
 Schmeling will be expected to fulfill his contracts to fight for the Garden, Johnston said, and Shar- key is the Gardens first choice for milk fund title bout at New York in June.
 The Walkers -Schmeling bout at Miami in February is practically assured. All of the other suggest ed contests among the ranking contenders still are in the em- byro stage. Sharkey has decided to remain idle during the indoor season; Dempsey will not be ready for his serious Comeback" effort until summer; Camera prefers to limit himself. to hand picked oppo- sition: and Johnston faces numer- ous difficulties in making the matches he desires.

Scanning over the state higt school elevens schedules, the mag net draws us to the Crosby-Nauga' tuck encounter on the books fol Hamilton Park three weeks from next Saturday. Already, enthusi- astic followers are sputterfng their versions of the outcome.
 Goodwin vs Kern
 Your correspondent will be watching with keen interest the work of Captain George Goodwin and Ike Kern, two outstanding can- didates for All-State backfield honors. The former is the faster of the two, but the latter has been under fire more and is far better kicker. Their heady work, line plunging and interference in their forthcoming games will have a de- cided bearing on their All-State State chances. Goodwin Is quar- terback and Kern a half, but not withstanding, both are the nucleus of their respective teams and will be worth seeing in action against one another November IA.
 Balinsky Has Edge
 "Bubbles' Balinsky is second Tn
  leader. To date he has played an important role in the overwhelm- ing triumphs over Lewis of South- game with the Alumni. Comparing him to either Ned Farley or George Dews isn't a difficult task, as he unquestionably is the best of the three, his experience too, being an A.. e.. s,, H. .-A1a
 Ruggles Yurgaitis and Dick Tuckey will contest for fullback supremacy. The Crosby lad Is slow, so is Tuckey, but the latter has more beef behind him. Both occupy the same throne, from here. with Tuckey sitting a little higher than Yurgaitis. At calling signals, "Red" Moran of Crosby gets the call over Al Ratkywich who is barking numbers for the first time.
 Crosby Line Better
 Crosby shapes up with a better pair of ends in co-Captain George Mulligan and Ned Herr than Naugy with Ed Balinsky and Tom Gar rick. The first named stands an Al chance of All-State wing hon. ors. Naugy's tackles, Bandursky and Posick look better than Joe Dunn and Tom Egan. The loca,s look better at guard with co-Cap- tain Mike Martone and Mike Car serino shading St John and Cries. bact. Mike DiNapoli's towering stature over Duffy, plus his ability to break through for tackles, fa- vors him over the diminutive Duffy. All in all, the fur should fly Novem- Der IA.

N. H. Triangles vs SokOls
 Tonight at Savin Rock

New Haven, Oct. 22.-If the largest crowd of fans at a pro fessional football game here this year is not present at Donovan field tonight when the Triangles battle the Sokol- of Bridgeport. then there is something wrong with either the game or the fans. The Park City eleven Is a fine attraction ,and always un- corks some of the best football seen at Savin Rock during the course of the season. and tonight in the first game of home and home series should be no excep- tion.
 In spite of the building boom in Malmo. Sweden. rents threaten fo advance.

The booming guns that scored two direct hits against Harvard's s Crimson ramparts a few afternoons ago.
 A big, powerful. experienced Army line that stood the Crimson forwards on their. respective ears for one quarter and then went a. W. o. l. for the rest of the game.
 And little Albie Booth, who may or may not be the football player they say he is. But they say he is.
 Harvard Got the Breaks
 The psychological side. if any. ought to be on the side of Major Ralph Sasse's young soldiers. They were beaten by a Harvard team that was not supposed to give them much more than a brisk workout. The poor pass that Quarterback Barry Wood fumbled from Center Hallowell seems to have been just the favorable break Harvard need ed to avoid blocked kick in the try for point after touchdown.
 At any rate. Captain Wood scam pered across the goal with the point that decided the issue and Army was among the defeated The usual reaction from just such a "break" Is bad news to the op- ponent who happens to be next on the defeated teams program.
 This man Booth is no toy pist ol himself, but if he fires just one blank shell he may find himself outscored by blond Ray Seeker, ace gunner of the West Pointers. They are saying that Halfback Seeker is a better shot than was a certain Cagle, late of the Army firing squad. Seeker seems to he all of the bali-carrier that was Cagle, and then some. But he probably never will come up to the standard of forward passing that was the redhead's.
 Army Line Better
 The Army line should have an edge on the Blue forward wall. which won't do Booth any good. Three of the cadet tackles-Cap- tain Jack Price. Armstrong and Suarez-have few peers in eastern grid circles. The edge at the guard posts would seem to be with Sum- merfelt and Trice, Army veterans. And King and Sheridan, cadet Hanks. are at least a match for Flygare and Barres, the Yale wingmen.
 The Blue has absorbed Yale tac- tics from Nal Stevens. Notre Dame shifts from Adam Walsh. and Michigan "punts. passes and prayers" from Benny Friedman. But with all this remarkable ability to assimilate grid strategies. Yale has never exhibited more than a Booth.
 The Army was not particularly bothered by Albie a year ago. They do not figure to have trouble with him this time.

PITT, NOTRE DAME | BOAST TWO GREAT
 TACKLES THIS YEAR
All-America HOnOrs Can Be Won By Rival Line- men Saturday at South Bend
BY GEORGE KIRSKEY

Umtc0 FrcSS stan COrreSpOnOent.
 Chicago. Oct 22.-UP)-Two undefeated, unscored-on elevens will square off against each other when Notre Dame meets Pittsburg Saturday before crowd of 10000 at South Bend, Indiana.
 Pittsburg comes west for the second time this year, having pre- viously defeated Iowa, 200, at Iowa City. The Partners have rolled up 147 points in four games and their goal line hasn't been crossed.
 Pitts line, according to John Frederick and Ike Voedisch, Notre Dame scouts is betetr than North westerns forward wall. McMurdo. a 220-pound giant. and Quatse at tackles are as good as Marvil and Riley, Northwestern's two 220- pounders, the Notre Dame scouts say. If they are any better, all- America recognition is none too good for them.
 Four of a Kind.
 In the Notre Dame- Northwestern scoreless tie in the rain and mud at Soldier field, Riley and Marvil of Northwestern and Krause and Kurth of Notre Dame looked like the four best tackles that would get together on one field at the same time this year.
 If McMurdo, who starred against Iowa. can outplay Krause, then there will be no argument about the best tackle of the 1881 sea- son.
 The Pitt game marks the sec ond of Notre Dame's four hard est battles. The first was the Northwestern game which ended in a deadlock. If the Irish get by Pitt, then they do not have another crucial game until Southern Cali fornia's high-powered scoring machine comes to South Bend. No- vember 21. The last difficult game for the Irish will be the sea- sons final against Army at New York November 2S.

 A Suggestion For Babe

Things that leave us cold No. 22, series B: Babe Ruth's recent out burst in which he moaned the lot of a celebrity, and expressed a deep yearning for the simple life. He's tired of his $S0.000 contract, and the restrictions which such a contract places on him. (But he'll argue his head off soons for a re- newaD. He's probably tired of hay ing people stare at his face in the papers, or watch him go to movies, or see him in public. Gut he hasn't made any move to fire his publicity chief).
 Why, MT. Ruth, if you are so tired of 1t all. don't you chuck baseball and get and get a job as an elevator starter? Then you can go to the movies, fly in airplanes, eat hot dogs. and shake hands with all the people you want to.

Peculiar Form Of Oath
Taken by Manx Official

Manxmen mind their deemsters.
Obsolete except on Great Britain's
minute Isle of Man, deemsters are
medieval judges-of-all-work. They
hear actions and criminal cases OF
every sort and preside over Manx
grand juries.
Manxmen gathered recently to hear
the swearing-in Of Deemster Steven
son More. A great and respected
veteran of the Manx bench, Mr..
More has been in retirement for ten
years. He has now been installed as
sole deemster of one-half of the Isle
of Man, upon taking the following
mouth-filling Manx oath:
"By the wonderful works that God
miraculously wrought in between
heaven above and the earth beneath
In six days and seven nights, swear
to execute the laws Of the isle justly
between our sovereign lord the king
and his subjects as indifferently as
the behring's backbone doth lie In
the midst Of the fish,"
A Manx elder explained: "The
backbone Of a herring lies 'indiffer-
ently'-that is without any differ.
ence' or deviation to the right or the
left-in the fish. Our ancient deem
ster's oath is constant reminder
that herring was once almost the only

Ancient Wooden Locks
Burden for Strong Man

The most common lock now In use
on exterior doors of buildings is the
cylinder lock developed by Linus Yale,
Jr., and this leads us back into his
tory. Primitive prototypes of Yale's
invention were in use in Mesopotamia
and Egypt as early as 1000 B. G..
These were huge wooden affairs re-
quiring cumbersome keys, as we may
gather from the Biblican passage
isaiah % :22) "And the key to the
house of David will I lay upon his
shoulder" This key, or muftah as it
was and still is called in the East, is
a stick of wood from Is to 80 inches
long, 2 to inches broad and to 2
inches thick. Into the face Of one end
are set number Of wooden or iron
pegs about an inch long. These pegs
correspond with as many holes In the
wooden bar or bolt which locks the
door and can only be lifted when these
pegs enter the holes and lift a CORE
spending series Of pins which drop
home by force of gravity and keep
the bar locked until pressed up by
the key with its pegs. Such huge keys
opened the way into the mighty pal
aces of Ninevah and Persepolis and
admitted to "hundred-gated Thebes."
Today in miniature and more refined
fashion, the small key that enters the
cylinder lock pushes up the little
brass pins inside and permits the
opening Of the door.-Detroit Free
