ROXBURY CRIDMEN
 OPPOSE TUFTS IN DEBUT TOMORROW
Cheshire Eleven H ave Heavy and Veteran Line, But Light Back fe1d- GribbOn and Egan, Local Boys, in Lineup
(By GEORGE DILLON

Cheshire, Oct 5-Despite the fact that commencement exercises in June saw the passing of several veteran luminaries, gridiron auth critics of Roxbury Prep school are far from reconciling the coming season as a mediocre one, for Head Coach Bob Hall has rounded out a very heavy and promising line and a light but fast backfield. In Hanover Next Week. The Cheshire team will open their schedule tomorrow afternoon on their home lot meeting the Tufts Junior Varsity eleven. A week from Saturday they invade Hanover, N. H., for their annual setto with the Dartmouth Fresh men who chalKed up a win at Cheshire last season. Following that tilt the Hallmen will meet Yale Freshmen, Columbia Fresh men and New Britain high on successive Saturdays.
 Gribbon a Regular.
 John Egan and Ray Gribbon, local boys, have impressed the former Yale quarterback in the workouts to date. The former Is being used on the second team at halfback and Is certain to see ser vice against the Medford, Mass, eleven tomorrow. The latter seems destined to start at right guard, a position he has practically clinch- ed.
 Casey In Backfeld.
 Eddie Casey, a nephew Of the Harvard coach, seems assured of getting first call at halfback. Rather short of weight, tipping the Fairbanks at 155 pounds, Casey makes up for lack of poundage in speed and ability. He has been playing a fine offensive and defen- sive game in the early scrimmages and his work has left nothing to be desired.
 KiIcullen Looks Good.
 Babe" Kilcullen, a brother of the Yale backfield threat, Johnny, looms as the regular fullback. Sporting 157 pounds of musicle and showing plenty of ability hit ting the line, the New Haven boy seems to be the choice over Egan. Rickmack, veteran from last year and proud possessor of slightly less than 200 pounds, will pair up with Casey at halfback. Hutton, 1858 pounder, will probably call the signals. He has been barking the numbers in recent practices so in- telligently that he undoubtedly will be first sitting quarterback.
 Spraguc Helping Hall.
 Assisting Coach Hall with the backfield is Johnny Sprague, Yale graduate, who was a star several years past at Andover., Outstand- ing in the reserve backs is Saliba who has been working out the regulars at left halfback.
 The end berths will probobly be taken care of by Creighton and Watts with Johns, a 200 pounder, and Treat at tackles. Gribbon and Roehrs will hold down regular berths at guard with Kaye at the pivot post. Reserve material how ever, is lacking with only three or four showing anything to write home about.
 Grads Going Big.
 Johnny Mack and Sid Stein of last years club have been going like a house afiie with the Yale freshmen aggregation. Eli coaches predict big things of these two plucky lads in the future. Coffman who enjoyed a fine year last year Is showing up well with the Prince ton Frosh.

An-Waterburys
 Get Sterlings

All-Waterbury's recently organ. ized football team will have the New Haven Sterlings as its initial opposition in opening the home season Sunday afternoon at Ham, lton Park. Manager Tim Grove came to terms with the Elm City management last night, the contest to go on at 2:30 p. m. The visitors will come here with a strong squad, already winners of two games, but the locals will be prepared to make creditable showing in their first local get-together. Tonight at 7:30 p. m. the All-Waterbury squad will work %out at Hamilton Park. weather permitting. Otherwise. they will meet at the Colonial Ball. room, 132 South Main street for skull session, and talk with their new coach, Eddie Barnikow of Meriden. Portly Ralph Mastrian- ma will forego his annual winter vavation to the Fiji Islands to aid Grove manage the team.

But when they think anybody is doing them dirt, they raise a fuss. They're about the straightest going crew of men you could hope to bump into as far as football is concerned"
 Law said the teams idol is the late Knute Rockne.
 They'd go without food and sleep to figure out certain football formations" he exclaimed.
 He believes the game is raising the teams morale.
 Good Prospects
 "That (footbalD keeps their minds off crime and gives them a good start for a new life. Why, we have some men there who will make quite a reputation for them- selves after they get out"
 He cited Alabama Pitts, huge mainstay of the team, as a player who would be a star Ion any pro- fesional football team or minor baseball team"

Wooster Five Beats
 Bridgeport Again

Joe Lavallo made his debut with the Wooster five-man bowl ing team an suspicious one last night knocking off high single of 145 and high two strings of 36l which played prominent part in the Woosters second win over the Bridgeport Hollands and wound up the home and home series with two straight matches. Bozemen Dente, disappointed his public a little bit by finishing no better than Al for second high single. Of the ten boxes ruled by the visitors, four were under the cen- tury mark. The total count was: Woosters 641, Hollands, 525. The scores:
 Waterbury: Zaza 119, 102; La vallo 145, 116; Dente Al, 104; Thompson 117, 12S; Sena 119. 10S.

 Wallingford, Oct 6-The Ly- man Hall high school will face the hardest job of the year to- morrow when they meet the Wilby high eleven at Waterbury at the Simpson field. In the opening game last week at Strat- ford, Lyman Hall appeared wenk in the line and lost, 1920. The entire team has been drilled hard by Coach Fernald and marked improvement is being looked forward to tomorrow against the Brass City outfit which they will meet for the first time on the gridiron.

PONIES BOOK ALL
 HART'D CRIDDERS
 FOR SUNDAY GAME
ThOmastOn's Little Horses
 Drill Tonight - Four
 Players Released
fsneciaI to the Democratl


 Thomaston, Oct 5-The Thomas ton Ponies will play their fourth game of the season Sunday after noon with the All-Hartford club, one of the strongest semi-profes- sional outfits in the state, furnish ing the opposition. The contest has been carded for Plume and Att wood field here and will start at 2:30 o'clock. A preliminary game will be played between the Tigers of this town, and the Hilltops of Torrington.
 The Ponies will report for their first drill tonight at the Athletic field since losing to the big Steam Rollers at Providence, R. I. last Sunday. All of the players with the possible exception of Bubblin, halfback, injured at Providence. will be ready for the game with Hartford. Coach Fay Vincent will direct the team tonight and plans to send his cohorts through several new plays.
 The axe has been swung since the last game, four players being given their release. Eddie Jessup, back of Torrington, Billy Min bOue, SLlu Ol 1OIIiHSIOH anu COuh- ny Bristol of this town, another end were handed their outright re- leases, whereas Matty Sheehan of Waterbury was released upon re- quest so as to add strength to the All-Waterbury combine.
 The Ponies have gained wide spread praise throughout the val ley by reason of their fine showing at Providence last Sunday, the first trip of their home field in two years, and it is expected that hun dreds of followers will turn out to cheer them against All-Hartford.
 All-Hartford held Torrington to 70 score in the New City two Sundays ago and showed surprising power against the formidable Tor rington club. DeBastino, Scott, Boucher, and Cobb, the backfield quartet compares with any leading ball carrying group in the state.

NO AIRING FOR M'LARNIN BOUT
 WITH LEONARD

Manager James J. Johnston, of the Garden, has announced that there will positively be no broad cast of the Jimmy McLarnin and Benny Leonard ten round bout, which takes place in Madison Square Garden tomorrow (Friday) night. This is a continuance of the ban which came on the occasion of the Mickey Walker and Max Sch meling bout, which was held in the Garden Bowl couple of weeks ago.
 Teddy Yarosza, the sensational Pittsburg welterweight arrived in New York to-day for his ten round semi-final bout with Eddie Kid Wolfe, which will be held in the Garden tomorrow night. Teddy re- ported to Jimmy Bronson, who will look after his interests while in New York. If he makes good showing against Wolfe and wins in a clean cut manner it is the pur- pose of Manager Johnston to pit Larnin and Leonard bout for some date in November.
 Prelims
 
 Johnny Peters in the opening bout in the Garden tomorrow night is one of the most colorful and promising lads in the metro- politan district. He comes from Evander High school and been boxing only two years. Yet in his last fight he was called on as a substitute against Kid Chocolate and acquitted himself nobly. The fans hooted the decision, which went to the Cuban Bon Bon.
 The advance sale of seats for the McLarnin and Leonard show are bigger than any advance for any fights in a long time. That is sure indication, according to Manager Johnston. that something approach ing a sell-out will greet the two great fighters when they step out for their all-important ten round bout.

ALL-NAUCATUCK IN
 ANSONIA SUNDAY

Naugatuck, Oct 6-Naugy highs gridsters are not alone in that class of teams hurdlingg into the big game this weekend, the All Naugatuck eleven being scheduled to take a substantial slice of pig skin chasing into it's hands in op- posing the formidable Acorns A. c. eleven on Ansonia in that city Sun day afternoon. Oneof the busiest men in the rubber town this week is Trainer Gus Metz of the All Naugatuck eleven, who is working to get Emmet Carroll, Leonard French, Charley Lodge, Harold Stapleton, Harry Schwartz and Jack Luskay back into playing condition. That 1916 beating the locals took against All-Torrington last Sunday almost resulted in the team being crippled for the season.

0S SSACSobAOAAo HI SAA~
 With Joe Kurth, 1891 All America, and Ed Krause, of equal ability, in the tackle positions. Coach Hunk" Anderson will haze an unusually strong line.
 The University of Michigan, Ohio state and northwestern look like leaders in the Big Ten Con- ference, but with Bernie Herman taking over the reins at Minnesota, it is difficult to make any exacting predictions as to the final out come. Close followers of Sam willaman predict that ohio State has the makings of a winner this year and will stop at nothing short of a conference title. Carl Cramer is expected to star in the back field
 California Strong.
 Coach Howard Jones of South ern California seems almost cer- tain to cop the honors of the west coast, with Pop Warner at Stan ford looming as the most logical challenger. Bill Ingram, who was unusually successful for his first year at the University of Cali fornia, is expected to present an even more formidable eleven than his last years combination.
 Tn the Big Six conference( Ne braska. always contender. looks like the best bet to grab off an- other conference title. Kansas barely edged out by the "Corn- huskers' last year, will be among the leaders, together with the Uni versity of Missouri, which will adopt a new style of play under the direction of Frank Carideo, former Notre Dame quarterback.
 Tulane, winner of the Southern conference championship last year. and finishing it's second season un- defeated, cannot be rightfully de- nied place among the country's outstanding elevens.
 The University of Tennessee and Vanderbilt should be the most like ly contenders, should any dispute arise as to the conference cham pions this year. Tulane has en- loved rapid rise in football and it would not be altogether surpris- ing should they retaliate for third consecutive year.
 Some wonderful material is re- ported at Alabama.
 So. Methodist Looks Good.
 In the Southwestern conference, Southern Methodist looks to be the most likely team to win the conference title two years in suc- cession. Since the formation of the conference in 1915 no team has succeeded in winning it two consecutive years. Further interest will be manifested in the work of Coach Schmidt of Texas Christian University, and Head Coach Little field of the University of Texas.
 In the east Cornell, Yale and Harvary will have accounted well for themselves when the final reckoning of games won and lost are compiled Carncige Tech and Navy are both sitting back and making very little fuss over the prospect for the coming year. It would not be altogether surprising If one of the above mentioned f1n- ished up in the grid spotlight un- der the title role of a clark horse"
 Summing up, I expect Yale, Har- yard, Cornell, Carnegie Tech and the Navy to lead the eastern sec tion, with Pittsburgh, Columbia. New York University and the Army having teams on par with the above mentioned, from the standpoint of games won and lost.
 A difference in schedule difficult ties, it must be remembered, makes it exceedingly hard to judge with any degree of fairness the performances of any one team, until the season gets under way.

By UNCLE HENRY l.. N.
 Regardless of the many things being said about Francis Fitzger- aid, he is all right and so are his pals over on Brandy Hill. It's too had that we failed them last week and this hope will rectify the situation.
 Our Bill Dwyer is a good sec- retary and first class pin driver. He brings his ball from nowhere and you should sec for yourself what happens. Charlie Keegan attempted to set Dwyer back but many have tried this before. We find Patsy Garvey nursing a skin infection on his neck. Let's hope that the we'll liked Patsy recoyers very soon.
 Jim Moore complains of extra weight interfering with his bending range. Why kick MT Moore. Take look at Jimmy Flanagan's mid- dle section some time and then look over his scores. The only real bad feature about Flanagan is that he knows how good he is. Wasn't Joe Kelley in rare form this week? Joe Devine is still talking about Kelley.
 How do you feel to-day Caf- fiery? I know that you bought a paper. We wonder how John Phelan can always have that same sweet disposition. Joe Lee is the same. Always a good word. Brother Simpson will continue to slip up on the signals. He uses his own style. originated, out lined, and executed in his own way.
 Mention of the word executed al- ways brings Frank Kennedy to mind. Kennedy is both gruff and foxy. We understand that in his spare time he pans those who write bowling. If 1t were not for the fact that he is the president of the Holy Name society what a banning he would get in return. Hello there, Mrs Kennedy! Fine, thank you!
 When it comes to good duck pinning the hat comes. on this old bald head to Art Farren and Prof James McGee. Farren IS tall and lanky while McGee IS | Irish and a Republican. Jack German showed plenty of form and we expect big things of him shortly. Bill Keller rolls screeching ball down the drives that produces the necessary re. suits.
 Oh girls, phone 4-5904 and ask for Francis. Then thank me. The last name by the way Is Mitchell. Did you know that Billy Delaney IS developing into a star and has been asking about the prizes.
 Francis CoughIin and Jim Barrett have something up dirty sleeve and it isn't elbows either. They have been shad- owed since they left the drives. And Francis Lawlor never 1aiis. Harry Ryan will soon be ciout1ne them over neighbOr fences right into the duck soup. Frahk Hardy is keeping up a swell pace and when our Ted hits lumber 1t brings the heads out or all near by windows.
 On the last round Al Herbert had four naples to catch up for victory and the cratic Al wasn't there. Incidentally. Herbert re- caived the compliments of his teammates.
 Joe Dunphy. veteran pin star: is pastlming in this league anu Jack Kelly has a headache from the thoughts of the beating he IS tO receive next week. Commits sIouer Jim Phclan will he down and let him do the worrying. Kelly. Anyone desiring . place on a regular team is asked t0 come around next Wednesday evening.
