Eddie Hogan, local Lithuanian
 boxer and contender for the New
 England Heavyweight title was a
 visitor in the city yesterday. Ho-
 gan came up from New York. He doesn't expect to enter any ring in the near future due to the fact that the index finger of his right
 hand is badly damaged. He has the section in boarded and heavily
 bandaged to keep it from slipping
 and going ga-ga.
 Eddie will stay in the city for a day or two and then he returns to the so called big city to take further orders from Ralph Gold. He reminded us that Joe Vignali looks like the real article and that
 he is boxing Frank Egan in Utica
 Thursday night. Egan knocked
 out Steve Halaiko,, Auburn N. T.. Ukrainian in bout recently. Should Vigna1i beat \ Egan he should go a long distance in the Liz htweight ranks, The local
 heavyweight was neatly attired in
 the latest Metropolitan fashion cut
 clothes and looked mighty pros- porous. He drove one of those
 high price sedans and in general had the atmosphere of one al-
 ready crowned as champion. May be he will be. Stranger things have been known to happen.

Taft and Hotchkiss Head Prep School Features Saturday

Watertown, Oct 16-Four of the most powerful of C0nnecticut's prep school football teams will thunder into action on Nutmeg State gridirons Saturday when Coach Ronald Micheiini will lead Westminster, one of the biggest teams within the Connecticut con- fines, into Kent to face the power- bristling Kent school eleven and Taft and Hotchkiss will blow of some football fireworks on Taft's field in Watertown. Both games are expected to prove brilliant stand outs on the 1884 prep school calen- dar, bringing into action four of the states strongest prep teams.
 While these four are having 1t out in Connecticut, the Eoomis in. stitute squad of Windsor, will be tangling with Berkshire academy at Sheffield, Mass. Loomis, like its four rivals, is expected to face some slashfng opposition, the Berkshire tea mhaving rung up a Ito 0 vic- tory over Deerfield academy.

PRIZE FIGHTER
 TRAINER KEEPS CAELS IN SHAPE
By HENRY SUPER United Press Stan COrrcSpOnder

Moraga, Calif = (UP) - A chunky, bald-headed gentleman. who looks like Knute Rockne and knows less about football than the immortal Rock" forgot. has the assignment this season of keeping St Mary's warriors in fighting trim.
 Veteran of 400 prize-ring battles. conqueror of Jack Dempsey, train- CT of the Sacramento Senators for more than decade, and now wrapped up in his new job of car- ing for the "Ga1lopin' Gaels'- that's a thcmbnail sketch of Jack Downey, new St Mary's trainer.
 Downey came here from Sacra- mento to fill a spot that Dr E.. Guinan occupied last year.
 Knows Little Football
 About football Jack knows very little-but as a trainer there are few men who can match him, at least in the opinion of Coach Ed ward Slip" Madigan.
 Jack says he is 45, that he fought Jack Dempsey three times and came out with a victory. de- feat and a draw. He doesn't look like a veteran of the ring. His eyes are clear, his ears are natural and he walks with a springy gait instead of the shuttle that one as- sociates with the old-time ring men. Although willing to talk box ing. Downey seemed rather in- clined to lean toward this new game-for him-of football.
 ''It's a swell game and the sur roundings here at St Mary's are perfect. After batting arocnd with prize-fighters and tough ball play CTS, it is a grand feeling to come to work in a peaceful setting such as we have here.
 'T don't know much about foot. ball. Let "Slip" Madigan and his helpers take care of that. My job is to keep the boys in shape and on such clean-cut youngsters.
 The tip-off on what St Mary's thinks about Jack is seen in the fact that they already have spent considerable sum on new equip ment for his rcbbing room.
 Great Psychologist
 'The boys a great psychologist" !" says Madigan. When one of those prima-donnas comes in and com- plains of sore muscle. old Jack doesn't dismiss him with a curt rubdown, like some traigers. His tactics are different. He ex- presses amazement that the player could last as long as he did--kind of makes the player think it's something serious. Then, when the youth is beginning to think his condition is bad, Jack goes to work and brings him around in short order. The player thinks Downey is wonder and the teams morale picks up immensely as result of knowing 1t has trainer like that l to fix him up."

Even in the old custard pic days there was less slapstick thar is being used right now by little felIers like Gonzaa, Ursinus, Rich mond and Nevada.
 The little fellers have been whacking the big fellers so hard and SO often, that the larger ones ask before every game, Little man, what now?-
 As q direct result of this buff f0onery, the east now is celebrat- ing Rose Bowl week, although the seasons halfway mark hasn't even been approached. This five front celebration is to decide just which eastern teams will not visit Pasadena-if any do.
 Have q Chance
 Only five eastern outfits remain recognized aspirants. They are Pittsburgh, Colgate, Columbia, Fordham and Holy Cross. The other big-timers have succumbed or do not go in for the Rose Bowl business. Princeton is in the lat ter class. All five aspirants play crucial games this weekend.
 In view of this situation it is time to send warning message to Andy Kerr, that grand old magician, who will lead his Red Raiders from Colgate to soiree at Ohio State. Let Handy Andy refrain from being befuddled by his own backfield hocus pocus. Let him remember that Il men play on . football team, and that he will need them all against Frank -Schmidt's Buckeyes. Last week when Colgate beat St Bonaven- ture, 62-0, the Raiders played a whole quarter and scored a touch down before Andy discovered that he had only 10 men on the field.
 Revenge!
 And Jock Sutherland and his Pitt Partners should be told about that motto, Turn the other cheek" They're rowling, An eye for an eye" They're out for vengeance because of the lone de- feat which ripped up their Pasa- dena ticket in 1898. They're de- termined to take apart Bernie Bierman's Minnesota Gophers in Pittsburgh and see what makes them goph. Recalling Minnesota's 20-0 performance against Nebraska this experiment may be as side splitting as removing TINT from 8 Capone pineapple.
 Lou Little's Columbia Lions, Rone Bowl victors of 1893, would relish another Pasadena party with Stanford. But they'll be stalk ing an armor-plated Navy crow Saturday, the hankers for Lion skin these many weeks.
 New Shift
 Sleepy Jim Crowley, who gall 1oped to fame as one of Notre Dame's -Four Horsemen" and who now rides herd on the Ford ham Rams, is an inventor of sorts. To repel the charge of St Mary's Galloping Gaels, he has devised the garter shift.
 1T call it the garter shift," ex- plained Crowley, because it is flexible and mystifying."
 St Mary's and Oregon State were the only victors over the Rams last season.
 Holy Cross, which has bowled over four minor opponents, tackles Harvard at Cambridge. This en- gagement should prove a stiff test for both teams. In beating Brown 13-O last week Harvard showed it was trying to go places this season.

 New York, October 16 = (UP) |- When Will Stevens quit his
 post as advance man for the St
 Mary's College football team, it was generally agreed in the Belle Lettres set that the adjective had lost it's dearest friend, the super
 lative its staunchest benefactor, and the purple patch it's most lavish patron.
 For MT Stevens, in his years at the typewriter and mimeograph for St Mary's, established himself as the Shelley, the Byron and the Robert w. Service of advance foot ball literature. To read one of his rhapsodic outbursts on the glories of the Gaels was to swear (and
 pray) that there would never be another like him.
 Yet, the bulletin on the St Mary's team, which plays Fordham here
 Saturday, arrived today, and one reading of its eight pages revealed
 that not only had st Mary's found MT Stevens equal, but his peer. If Service rolled into one. his succes- SoI ID tAO COIllOiIcu koHdhcSpCdI CS Dante, Keats, and Ida M. Tarbell. MT Stevens was content to call

 Madigan is the Mad Magician of
 the Moragas."
 Slick Stuff
 And listen to this description of
 the teams new shift:
 "Blase New York will see some-

 Italo Balbo shift. Sometimes called
 the anti-attractor, it gives the
 Scarlet Skirmishers countless and
 dazzling opportunities to switch
 with the speed of a lightning bolt
 from orthodox to unorthodox foot
 ball. It might be likened to the
 change of pace of a baseball pitcher"
