The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-10-31

The games of the week end ran the games of impossibilities from Notre Dame's breath-taking first defeat by Pittsburg to Yale's un- believable first victory over Dart mouth, important teams ran to form only in the south. After ana lyzing the mess, we find that the situation in the various sections might be summarized as follows:
 East-Pittsburg, Colgate, Colum- bia Pennsylvania and Brown arc the major undefeated leaders, with Pittsburg looking the strongest af- ter Saturdays sensational victory. Colgate, however, has great possi- bilities.
 Big Ten-Michigan leads the conference, but Purdue threatens to take a hunk of the title if the Wolverines are beaten or tied, and that very thing might happen when Michigan bumps into Minne- sota on November 19.
 South-Auburn, Tennessee, Vir- ginia Poly, and Louisiana State are undefeated and untried in confer ences games. with the race thrown wide open to the four after the close slaves received by Auburn and Tennessee Saturday.
 Two COntenders
 Southwest-Texas university and Texas Christian are the only un- defeated teams in the conference, with the university longhorns sight, ly favored.
 Blk Six-The conference race is between Nebraska, defending champions, and Oklahoma, follow ing Kansas States elimination by Nebraska Saturday.
 Pacific-Southern California and U. l.. c. A. are running neck-and- neck for the conference title, the latter having put in a strong bid Saturday by defeating Stanford. Each has three appanents to meet, but they do not play each other. Both are formidable teams and may share the title.

WALNUT HILLS IN go WIN OVER
 MERIDEN ENDS

The Walnut Hills A. c. turned back a fighting West End eleven hailing from Meriden yesterday af- ternoon at Fulton park to win by a g to 0 score. The contest wit messed by one of the largest crowds of the season was played in the dark during the final three min- utes of play.
 At the kickoff, it was evident that the Hills would meet with stiff opposition, but just before the first period ended, that famous pair Harnick and P. Lerz tore off sensational gains only to have Har- nick carrying the ball at top speed race his way through left tackle for touchdown. The extra point was made on a placement kick, Ventresca and P. Lerz executing the play.
 Looked Good
 The West Ends had in Rallies a backfield ace who starred for his outfit and who caused the Hills plenty of trouble until forced out in the third quarter when an in- jury befell him.
 The Hills forward wall held like stonewall. On several occasions the West Ends threatened coming very near the Hills goal line only to be stopped when a touchdown looked certain.
 Lester Bowen, Speed" Blaster, Quigley and Hassinger stood out in the Hills play, although it seems that the entire squad contributed their share in the victory. Rcd Coleman pounded the center of the fine demoralizing the West End linesmen to some extent. Coleman showed to advantage in his first contest with the Hills.
 The Hills scored the second touchdown in the last quarter when Meriden tried to punt from in back of her own goal posts. Bowen, Hills lineman broke through and nailed his man tossing him to the ground. At this stage of the game, it was practically dark and the crowd shouted, turn on the lights"

NEW GRID RULES
 MAKE OFFICIALS JOBS DIFFICULT

In addition to a number of other excellent results the new football rules have had the. effect of fo- cusing more attention upon off1cia- ating and officials.
 It has begun to dawn on lot of folks that what they supposed was jux a whistle blower or a guy who galloped up and down the sidelines with a stick has highly technical job and plenty of respon- sibility involving speed of foot, agility, quick eyesight, experience and good judgment.
 "Let me describe case or two, just for example," remarked Dr Eddie O'Brien, one of the East's most prominent officials after the Army Pittsburgh game. You saw Palmer (the umpire) call inter- ference on a pass against Pitt and to my mind it was one of the fin- est decisions have seen this sea- son. ..
 "The defensive player violated the rules by waving his arms, so as to interfere with the pass-cach- er's vision. As it happened he also touched the receiver, but this was scarcely noticeable except to an official closely watching every de- tail.
 "The new rules outlawing crawl Ing by the offensive side or piiing on by tho defensive team have added immeasurnbly to the diffi- culties Of officiating. They nre good rules but complications often de- veiop.

CROSBY, WILEY
 ELEVENS IN ROAD GAMES THIS WEEK
'Schofeldmen Invade Bris= tol Saturday While Lee- men Show Friday in West Haven

Tommy Monahan's Bristol high eleven, three-time champions of the Central Connecticut Inter- scholastic league, will play hosts to Billy Schofield's Crosby aggre- gation at MuZzy Field, Bristol, Sat urday afternoon, in the first grid encounter between the two schools in the history of the institutions.
 Frank Fitzgerald's West Haven array will be the opponents of West Haven Friday afternoon. The locals have won their last two games knocking off Woodrow Will son of Middletown and the Rox- bury Reserves and are anxious to make it three straight. West Ha- ven has been beaten but once this year and has chalked up four vic- tories.
 Bristol c. c. T. I. Champs
 Bristol clinched the c. c. I. L.. title again Friday burying Meri- den under an avalanche of touch- downs to win 31-6. The victory gave the Maroon and White per- manent possession of the league trophy. The Monahanmen have the distinction of being the first team to take permanent possession of the Central Connecticut league trophy.
 Crosby Handicapped
 Coach Billy Schofield will take a weak team to the Bell City Satur- day as several regulars will be out of the lineup. Yesterday the blue and wkhite mentor went to Bridge port and drove Ken Doherty. quar- terback who was injured in the Central game Saturday, home. Do herty will be out the remainder of the year, with shoulder injury.
 Francis Mulligan, regular quar- tcrback, fractured 8 bone in his leg against Torrington while Ned Farley is still nursing turn tissue in his nose, but may play Saturday. Schofield expects to receive sanc- tion from a doctor this afternoon to use Farley against Bristol.
 Don Walsh, reserve signal-caller, will be out the rest of the year with a billed muscle in his hip bone. Johnny Homick, regular tackle, may play Saturday after an absence of three weeks with a cracked shoulder bone. Mike Di- Napoli will see little action as his infected shin is still proving trou- blesome. Captain Tom Egan's in- jured leg will not permit him to play an entire contest while True Hayward will probably see Satur- days conflict from the bench. He has been out three weeks with a cut tendon in his leg.
