If they can get them. Wilby has sOrcIy tired Coach Jimmy Lees patience thus fHr in the season, for the lack of veteran material and good judgment was strikIngly apparent in the AnsOnia and Dnnbury games. while the Wildcat reserve strength is quite at Q mini. mum. All of which points to a convincing victory by Eau. gatuck. whose real ability has not Nn shown yet, though the material Is there aplcnty. Cr0sby's practice session yes. tcrtiay afternoon indicated that Harding will have no easy Op. position and will probably get taken nicely by the ScliOnc.d squnti, despite tl,c stories of how lucky" they were to beat lfilihOusc.

Babe Ruth was not even voted upon which shows how far he hea slip. ped us top-flight player in the opinion of eighty baseball writers who took part In tho ballot.

Have High Hopes For Their Charges Satwday

Crosby Appears to Have Class Enough For Hard.
 ing-Wilby Underdog
By JOHN A. eLUNEY

Unwilling to pass up anything that might put their charges in betting position for victory satur- day, Coaches Bill schofield of Crosby and Jimmy Lee of Wilby have had their boys on their toes all week in preparation for critical contests Saturday. In the case of Wilby, which meets Naugatuck high in It's third start of the sea- son 0 victory will be the shock of the early season and will probably seriously effect Pete Foley's breath ing for the next year or two, for Wilby has been taken by Ansonia and Danbury and do not figure to seriously threaten the strong Naugatuck squad, though Coach Foley seems inclined to think the Wilby team will give his boys q battle.
 Worthy Foes
 In Harding high, Crosby will meet some real tough foes, ac- eording to Bridgeport authorities who follow the chrages of Jack Mead. However, the local squad Is TluIHE HlBH, Wlue una nuHuHome and you can be assured Chick Bowen of Hlllhouso was sur prised mentor when he saw Neu- bert fell on q Hillhouse tumble to convert 1t nlto q touchdown. Hill- house outrushed Crosby, but like Yale, could not score. when In posi-. ton, as the Bluo and White held fast.
 Ready To Go
 Yesterday afternoon, Crosby players were put through q sturdy scrlmmage at Hamilton Park, which satisfied Coach Schoneld that the boys are ready for action of the best kind. Renzo, Sheehan, Neubert, Dolan and Muillgan ali showde well In the drill and will be counted on heavily Saturday against Hillhouse. Coach Leo is hoping for the best against Nauga- tuck, and if Gallulo is not study bound, may make a fair chewing against the powerful Garnet and Gray squad. Both games arc booked for gao D, m,

NEW HARVARD CAGE COACH
 0. 5. U. HERO

Columbus, 0. (UP)-Wesley 10. Fesler who will become head bas- ketball coach at Harvard univer- sity this winter, Is the modern hero of ohio State University athletics.
 Since 1927. when he enrolled in Ohio State, Fesler's face has been as well known on the campus as the administratlon building. Not only was he an all-American foot ball player, but he was a great basketball and baseball player.
 This curly headed chap was one of the keenest football players ever to wear a Buckeye uniform. He won national recognition as an end, but later was converted into a fullback on offense. His re- markable physical makeup was augmented by mental capacity greater than most football players possess.
 Harold G. Olsen, Ohio State bas- ketball coach. said that Fesler was one of the finest basketball players he ever uttered.
 "He is the first guard ever saw who could, with two opponents ad- vancing the ball within shooting range. make it impossible for the man with the ball to pass to his .teammate," Olsen said. When the men with the ball attempted to shoot, Wes would pivot. leap, and take the ball in mid-air."
 Fesler once broke up a baseball game with a much stronger Illi- nois team when he cracked out three home runs and accounted for 10 runs himself. He almost dupli- cated this performance against Navy in one of the last contests of his college career.
 Since his graduation, Fesler has been connected with the Ohio State football coaching stan as coach of ends, kickers and passers. ~

BS HENRY McLEMOkE (Unltcd Press stan Correspondcnt) Now York, oct 12--(UP)-Ells- worth Vines Is gone. Throo others of the first ten are going, and the dope We have names Cliff Sutter, Lester Stocfen and Wilmer Allison, Sidney Wood Is absorbed with his work on Wall street. So Is Frank Shields.
 Which means that tho captain of the 1884 American Davis Cup team will have tho most thankless task since Donio Bush got q three-year contract with the Reds. For next years leader will have less to work with and more to work against than any cup commander in memory.
 Who will America have to chal- lenge the British, Australian, Japs anese and Germans next yenM Well, we'll have George Lott and Johnny Van Ryn, tho finest doubles team in the world. Wen have them, of course. providing George and Johnny don't land jobs that mean moro than trip to Europe. IAVlI Alld uH IVY bt " " RV'" SNot v but, unfortunately. the material ends as well as begins with them. They're Alpha and Omega, nux and vomiea.
 Did you say something about Frankie Parker? He's two or three years away, and that's giving him the best of it. Our guess would bo that the Milwaukee pan. talooned wonder is as good as holl ever Do. He lacks that strange something which separates good and great. You can forget Bitsey Grant, too. Ton years from now he'll still lack international class Just as will Keith Gledhill ant Grog Mangin.
 Even if Sutter, Stoefon and Ali son do resist the jangle of coins II Bill Tilden's pockets, the 1884 | team's chances wouldn't be greatly improved. Allison Is well past his peak as e singles player Suttof never had one. The New Orleans boy was good hut never great. His game was classical, yes, but it lacked the power and attack that modern tennis demands. Demands, that is. unless you're a Ia Coste, which nobody ever accused Cliff of being.
 Stoefen ia a hot and cold player On the days his service is working the Californian Redwood Is H lot Of tennis playor. On tho days 1t isn't --nnd unfortunately, those day are not rare--your Unelo Luther could beat him In straight sets.
 Ameriea's chances of having a deeont team next year rest on woo- Ing sidney Wood away from his work. Woolng Shields away wouldn't do much good for Franks rout by Crawford in the nationals this year proved that a man who depends solely on a servi iee, ana tho opportunity that scrviee af- lords him to take tho net for Vol- loys, can't hope to get very far.
 Wood. when hos Interested. IS far and away tho best amateur m this country, He's got everything, including brains. He came within m acc of whipping Crawford at Forest Hills, and might well ae- eomplish the feat the next time out, With a fighting, well-eonditioned Wood playing tho No singles. and Lott and Van Ryn in doubles, tho American team would be for' midablo. Dut Wood is just silly enough to figure that earning. a living is more important than dedienting hls life Into bringing tho cup back homo.

 Arsenal, at the present time, are favorites to retain tho league championship they won last year, and they also are favorites to re- gain the Football Association Cup. which they won in 1880, and for which they were runners-up In 1882.
