|ALBERTS SHOWS
 AT NEW HAVEN
WatertOwn Amateur List- ed on Arena Card Thurs day Night

New Haven, oct 11-In the lost and found department of the Arena there lies unclaimed three-tooth piece of gold bridge-work evidently punched loose from one of the box CTS on last weeks hectic battle bill. This memento serves as a reminder that the fight fans can confidently expect plenty of the same two- listed action when Matchmaker James L. (Gig) Carton presents an- other in his series of weekly anna teur sockfests at the Arena on Thursday night, starting at S:S0 o. clock.
 This means that Eddie Banning, sensational, East Hampton light weight, who stopped Jack Austin here last week, will tangle with Georgie Parker, Worcester, Mass, walloper, who has twice beaten Banning, the last time in Rockville a few weeks ago. Among the big boys who will see action on the card are Jimmy Hicks, local star, who kayoed Bud 5Torak of Norwalk in the first round last week; Sam- bo Langford, Frank A1trui, Bran. ford boy; Andy zack, Bridgeport High school boy; and Petie Alberts of WatertOwn.

ONLY TWO LEGS, BUT
 THIS DOG CAN RUN
By NEA Service

Tacoma, Wash.-If you should happen to stop in at home of Fred Hallquist, and you were to call. "Come on, Rascal, come on," you'd see something that would make you wonder whether you ought to give yourself up to the keeper. Because out of the door would pop a two-legged dog, running al- most as we'll and as swiftly as any dog possessing all four members. The dog is Rascal, part collie and part spaniel, born three months ago. Rascal was born with only two legs, the front ones. Unlike most freak animals, his appear ance isn't repulsive. He hasn't the slightest semblance of rear legs and no hip structure.
 When Hallquist, its master, first saw the crippled pup, he consid- cred making a small cart and har- ness for him. It was his idea to have Rascal sit in the cart and propel himself around with his two legs. But before he got around to making the cart, he saw that Rascal was learning to walk on the two front legs. Now the dogs an expert.
 Rascal getting started is like an airplane taking off. He skids along the ground for several in- ches. Then his body rises slowly in the air until 1t is almost hori- zantal. A few quick steps and his body is perpendicular. Once in that position he can run a con- siderable distance without tiring.

CATHOLIC U. TO
 MEET 'MOCCASDNS'

Washington, Oct 11.-Having crushed City College of New York in it's opening 1892 stand. AZ to O. Catholic university's football team this week is pointing for its open- ing home test at Brookland Satur- day.
 In Brookland bowl Saturday, University of Chattanooga's power- full eleven will furnish the opposi- tion.
 This is the fore-runner of an ex-
 tensive schedule that includes Man. hattan College, Holy Cross, Wake Forest, Providence College, Du- quesne and Baltimore Loyola, and should prove conclusively whether
 or not c. U. can hope to equal its
 fine record of a season ago. Having secuted Chattanooga in
 its stand against Spring Hill Col
 lege Saturday, line coach Forrest Cotton predicts man-sized opposi-
 tion. Utilizing the so-called Notre
 Dame system, the "Moccasins"
 boast some of the finest and smart est material in the southland. Unique in recent workouts of the
 "Flying Cardinals has been the
 progress shown by three sets of
 brothers, all of them bidding spir-
 itedly for varsity recognition. Tom
 and John Nally, linemen and
 Babe" and Tom Gearty and Char
 ley and Bob McVean, backs all are shaping up well.

Bits From the Bell Boys

The Telephone Boys opened up their bowling league at the Woo. ster alleys last week with a full attendance and lots of pep. Con- sidering it was the first time bowl- ing for most of the boys the res suits were very good. Whitey" Anderson's team took three points out of four from John Flammfa who was handicapped by having one man out sick. Gay Steck got three points from Connie Peppin who couldn't get his men started til the last game. Niven's team who bowled against Dick Whites men split even at two points each and the same result happened to Carl Hoffman and his crew against Charles Stocks men after a hard battle.
 The star performance was turnA ed in by Oswald Aubertin who claims to have more parts miss ing than any other living telephone man. In spite of this "Auby" hit for over 300.
 The high scores for this week were: High three 336, Hoffman;l high single 130, Anderson; high three games 1,498, Anderson; high single game 531, Anderson.

"What's the matter with this game. anyway" Berg inquired. SEvery year it has to have its face lifted. It's had so many op- erations old timers hardly recog:. nize 1t. It's 67 years old and still a noble experiment. How come!
 LdRes His Sport
 Berg calls himself an average fan, says he's employed as an ex- ecutive in a factory that makes women's hate, and has been out of college several years. He ad- mits he follows sports because he gets a kick out of them and not because they may be developing q better brand of young men,"
 "I regret, I follow sports because I get kick out of them" the young milliner wrote. And tn- sist that any sport loses it's enter tainment value when it's changed all the time. They don't monkey around with baseball, soccer, rug by, poker or even marbles. Why this annual upheaval in football?' Berg says the season is about three weeks under way, but he doubts if half the officials or play CTS know what the six-rule changes are all about, judging from their actions on the field. As for the fans - "why don't you take poll of them? The newspapers nave been flooded with polls of officials, etc. What would those fellows naturally say? Why, they're like a bunch of lawyers cheering new statutes or doctors waving their hands over new diseases"
 Berg said he went to see Buck nell and Fordham play here Satur- day, and hasn't been able to sleep since. Even in his dreams, he con- fesses, he hears his wife asking, 'What are they going back TOT now? What happened? Is that a penalty?"
 Game Tossed Around i've become so upset over this rule business" continues the up- set MT Berg, "that I've gone into the history of the game, and what do find? Changes. Big changes; little changes. They decide a touchdown should be made here and then there. They shift the goal posts back, then forward then back again. In 1905 1t was organized mayhem, but in 193. it's a crime to pat a player with your hand.
 "Why don't the officials get to. gether and decide for once anc for all Just how football should be played? Decide whats hazard ous and chop it out? Make a whole new set of rules? Then they coult say to American fans; there's foot
 ball. Go ahead and enjoy it. forever"
