Ambers Ambitious

Jask Cuddy's slick story on Lou Ambers the "Herkimer Hurricane" carried all over the nation today on United Brass wires, must swell the gravy sports on Al Weill's vest to the size of silver dollars, for it so happens that the same MT Weill is business manager for the York state lightweight, whose failing fists support a famil yof fifteen, ln- cluding himself. Weill showed the young man in Hartford dur ing the past summer and no one doubted that night, he had what it takes to be champion. Now, MT Cuddy says he is a standout chal- lenger for the lightweight title, owned by Barney Ross, the young man who tried to outright James Archibald McLarnin, with 8 nine pound pull in weights against him. and found out at the finish, that he was an ex-champion of the 147 pound division. Now comes Am- bers, but there are also Dublinsky, Canzoneri, Klick and one or two others who cannot be shunted aside by printers ink. However, Ambers may yet put Weill in as manager of a worlds champion, which he has always longed to be as well as New York's best matchmaker.

Wilby Linemen Praised

Here's kind words for Chester Perenewski and Polman of Wilby by an anonymo ous fan who seems to appreciate line play. Personally, I'm inclined to think the writer is Septimus c. Fleetwood, as great a basketball coach as any team could have in his heyday of 1912 to 19- 15. The thought he brings for ward is well worth publication. Read on: "The Wilby Wildcats may not finish among the ranking teams of the state for the title competition. but at least two of the squad should rank high in the in- dividual ratings. In all Wilby con- tests to date the work of Chester Perenewski at tackle and Polman at guard have ben outstanding fea- lures. Wilby has scored three safe- tees and blocked seven kicks to date largely through the fine de- fensive work on the pair mention ed and the distance lost by their opponents is more than double the distance gained by rushing. If either of these players were on one of the more publicized school teams their names would be known from one end of the state to the other but Wilby has never drawn a press agent and so 1t is probable that most of the knowledge of their playing value will be confined to the opponents who have to face them on successive Saturdays.
 That's the stuff. S. c! Without good line, the best backfield in the world would be as valuable as wooden nickle.

YALE SQUAD MAY
 MAKE ARMY GAME
 RED HOT CONTEST

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 24.- (UP).-Head Coach Raymond w.. (Ducky) Pond was burning the midnight oil, doping out way for Yale to carry on its sensational form, first unleashed against Brown, and put the Army to rout here Saturday.
 Yesterdays practice session, the longest of the season, continued after darkness had fallen and the flood lights at Anthony Thompson field were turned on until Pond was satisfied with the scrimmage. Apparently Pond planned no change in the backfield which started last Saturday and ran rampant over Brown, chalking up four touchdowns in the first period. The almost unbelievable reversal of form of the blue squad, after two weeks of mediocre playing, bid fair to making the Army contest one of the outstanding in the coun- try this week.,

Managers Beat Cocoa Kid

It was Senator Harry Durant, and Al Blondi, most concerned with the ring suc- cess of New Haven's Cocoa Kid that beat him in Hartford last night, not Bat Battalino, who got credit for a technical knockout when the colored boy was unable to come out for the seventh round, due to exhaus- tion. When the match was signed, Battalino and his back CTS insisted on a 138 pounds give or take pound or no fight. How the former champ or his manager can dictate terms like that is odd at this stage of Battalino's career, but more queer is the mental con- .dition of Cocoa's handlers who agreed to the weight clause for their boy. and put up $150 to bind the bargain. Cocoa has not boxxed below 142 in many months. He came in at 13S 1-2 last night and couldn't raise his hands half the time due to weakness in making the unnatural weight.

Butler, Boroway and Sullivan had deserted the team to play with the Tribunes were spiked by Coach Butler last night. Their presence wit hthe Tribes last Sunday was due to the fact that the locals were without a game that day.

High School Teams Ready For Tough Games This Week

Workouts this week indicate that Crosby, Wilby and Naugatuck high school football teams will be fit as flock of fiddles for their games this week end, in three different cities. Bill Schofield is satisfied that his line and backs are work ing smoothly enough to make an impressive showing against Tor rington highs eleven Friday after noon at Hamilton park, where the kickoff is marked for 2:30 o'clock. In the hope of drawing a larger crowd of fans, many of whom will be in Worcester and New Haven on Saturday for the Holy Cross- Colgate and Yale-Army games, the high school game was moved up 8 day. Crosby Is heavy fav- orite to win by plenty of margin unless the Blue and White has a letdown due to overconfidence.
 Pete Foley's Naugatuck boys are tossing forward passes all over Recreation field this week prepar- ing for tough game with Hard ing high in Bridgeport Saturday. Fitzgerald at quarterback, 13S- pounder and Edmonds at half back worked so we'll together that they will start against Harding.
 Jimmy Lee is trying to get his Wildcats geared up enough to beat Art Stewards Ansonia lads in the Copper City Saturday and drills show that the Wilby line is doing nobly while Devino, Harry Peren- ewski, Irwin, Tommy Lacilla and Marcellus know their stuff. A win over Ansonia would be some thing to mark in big letetrs on the Wilby record this season.

DARTMOUTH

Hanover, N. H., Oct 24.-(UP)- Dartmouth may rely upon the forward pass as the chief offensive weapon against Harvard it ap- peared to-day as Coach Red" Blaik went ahead with the de- velopment of an aerial attack.
 Preparations for the Crimson clash took a heartening turn as the injury spectre faded. Harry Deckert and Bill Clark, veteran backs who against Virginia, suf- fered injuries which it was feared would keep them out of the Har- yard tilt, were back in uniform as was Tony Geniawicz, sophomore back. Eddie Chamberlain, light weight first string halfback, ap- peared definitely out of action un- til the Yale game at least and Jim- my Aieta was moved into a top- ranking berth.

There is considerable enthusiasm among the Power Company bow lers over 100 bowlers having made application to take part in this well-balanced league which has been in existence many years and is now considered a part of the organization.
 The Power Company bowlers take their bowling seriously and the organization committee has made every effort to get together league of the same high calibre as those which have staged great races in the past.
 Same Scoring System.
 The point system of scoring which has been used in the league for some time and which has met with popular favor, will again be used this year. the committee a. greeing that this system creates a greater competitive spirit resulting last year after IS weeks of bowling in twelve out of IS teams fighting it out in the last three weeks of the schedule for the championship.
 In addition to the regular week Iy prizes which consist of prizes for high individual single, high team total-three strings and attend- ance prize, the kicker prize unan- imously approved of all the bow lers will again be included in the list of awards. This prize benefits the average bowlers whose three strings total between 24O and 300.
 The yearly prizes for first, sec- ond and third places in the race will remain the same. The grand finale winding up the season as in the past will be the banquet for the members of the league.

BARRE RACING
 RINGER DEPARTED TO ENGLISH SOIL
Seaman Painted Horses That Won Fortunes
 for Gamblers

New York. October 24 - UP)- Patrick Christian Barrie, one of the most adept race horse ringers the turf ever knew, will be deported tc England because of illegal entry to the United States, Rudolph Rei- ner. commissioner of immigration and naturalization, announced to- day.
 Barrie, who painted good race roses to look like bad ones and then substituted them against in- ferior fields, entered the United States as seamon in 1881. Since then he has followed the race meetings. He was arrested last summer at Saratoga, N. r., on charge of stealing a platter, easy sailing, from his stall.
 This charge was not pressed, but Barrie was held without fall for immigration authorities. who claim he has a prison record Tn England. His most spectacular coup was at Havre De Grace in November, 1881. when he substi- tuted Aknahton, a three-year-old, for Shem, a two-year-old in a mai den race. The supposed Shem was backed heavily throughout the country and won with ease. Engi- neers of the coup won fortune: After investigation, Barrie ana four others were ruled off the turf.
