NAUCY TAKES ON
 BRIDGEPORT FOE
Garnet to Use Quick Breaking Attack Against
 Central To-day

Nauratuck, Oct. 13-A speedy uslck-breaking attack is planned by the Naugatuck high school foot. bah eleven today as its hope or wrestling victory from tho powerful Central high school team Of Bridgeport. The game will be play ed at 2:30 in the. Park city this afternoon.
 Hundreds of fans from the bo- rough will make the trip to the Park city even though Central IS a decided favorite to cop. It will be a real test for Naugatuck and un- less the Garnet has improved 40 per cent it will fail in this test. Much of the first game sloppi- ness of the Naugatuck team is ex- pected to be done away with by this time. Frank Edmonds will be the key-point around whom the Naugatuck attack will be built. Ray Anderson showed promise last Friday in the backfield but he also had to leave the gameb ecause of injuries. Whether or not he is brit tie will be seen in today's game. He appears rather slightly built for a backfield man but Coach Foley is still depending on him. A skull practice. was held last night.
 The local team will leave at 12:30 for the game. Reports have 1t there may be a shift in the Nau- gatuck line and in the backfield but nothing definite has yet been announced.

Pittsburgh, October 13 - (UP) - Time is mighty workman.
 Give him time and he'll change anything. from mountain peaks to river beds. from congressman to your girl friends face.
 4 He'll even change football teams. as witness the situation in this city today a few hours before Pitts- burgh took the field against the Trojans of Southern California.
 It's hard to believe, but man who wanted to get his sugar down on Southern Cal found himself playing the long shot. Pittsburgh was the favorite. Not a slight favorite. either. but so pronounced a favorite that packers = which means everybody from the mayor right down to the third-string whitewings-would not only cover the money, but give you twelve points.
 Twelve points. mind wou- Two touchdowns! They'd take Pitts Partners and start you off with an even dozen points. That's what time does. A year ago you couldn't have made such bet even if the Trojans were playing a team that had backfield of grizzly bears playing behind line of seven army tanks. hand grenade equipped. Why, it seems only yesterday that the bare mention of Howard Jones and his Trojans would give any team in the coun-' try severe case of the inside jit- ters, the outside heebies. and the inside outside all around the town jeeb.es.
 Yet. today. more money than circus pony. using springboard. could clear in three jumps, was being bet that Pitt would not only lick 'cm, but could take 'em apart, slat by slat, and expose them as a bunch of sun-kisscd cuties. suffer- ing from Kleig eyes and Mascara burns.
 Speaking of Kleig eyes and Mas cara burns. the Trojans arrived here to be greeted with the news that the U. S.C.! paper had blamed the teams poor showing on the fact that the players had ''gonc Hollywood" and were too interest ed in hobnobbing with the screen stars at Malibu Beach. and Cocoa nut Grove, and too intent upon get ting job in the movies, to play football.
 The players, when confronted with the accusation. that they were saving their profilcs for .M.-G.-M.. Warner Bros. Paramount and Twentieth Century, instead of bashing them for dear old U. S. c. were violently unperturbed. From EAtxA~y n 1nvyIfncf third -stringer, the news was re- ceived with an attitude that said: Now isn't that terrible. My. my, my, you shouldn't have told us. We're all upset something dread full"
 In fact. the players, along with everybody else, we're inclined to credit the editorial to that old psy- cho,ogist, Coach Howard Jones. The fact that MT Jones had an ad- vance copy of the paper stuck in his topcoat pocket would seem to indicate that he knew all about the blast, and hoped the charge of sissy would so enrage his team as to make 1t bit more formid- able.
 Asked if. it were true that his men were more interested in the Harlows. Kay Francis and Myrna Loys than in football. MT Jones laughed and said he wouldn't know about that, but that they cer tainly had been playing as though something weighed heavily on their minds.
 The .Trojans didn't look like ac- tors when they arrived. There wasn't a necktie in the crowd.

MANY GRID FOES CLASH TO-DAY ON
 COLLEGE FIELDS
Hurricane of aLst Weeks Many Upsets Still
 Blowing Strong
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent

V New York. October 13 - (UP) = On this second big Saturday of the goofiest season football ever knew, the nations grid warriors trotted out on the battle fields con- siderably ajitter because the St Mary's catastrophe yesterday warned that last weeks hurricane of upsets still blew strong.
 That St Mary's affair was the last straw. No longer is anything safe or sacred when Nevada routes St Mary's Gaels 9-7. The same mighty Gaels who only the week before had conquered the same California which only the week before that had crushed Nevada, 33-0.
 The big question seems to be "What now?" Anything can hap pen on the following battle fronts today:
 East = Southern California will try to skin the Pittsburgh Panth- CTS in a grand intersectional brawl. Army and Drake were slated for a dingdonger at West Point. Other intersectional melees paired Co- lumbia and Virginia Military Academy: Temple and Indiana. and West Virginia vs Washington nd Lee. Pennsylvania and Yale collide after a lapse of nine years. Harvard stacks up against formld- able Brown.f Cornell meets powerful Syracuse, and Navy has a push in Maryland.
 Middle West - Notre Dame ana Purdue meet head-on on the come back trial after unexpected rever- sals last week. Big Ten pairings bring together Ohio State and H. linois, and rejuvenated Chicago and humbled Michigan. Mighty Iowa meets Nebraska. Big Six warfare Is inaugurated by Missouri ana Iowa State. Carnegie Tech m. yades Michigan State. conqueror oi Michigan, in an intersectional con flict. Similarly Vanderbilt marcnes on Cincinnati tonight, and Tulso and Texas Christian tangle heatedly. e,4
 South-The Tulane-Florida game features hostilities in the soutn- eastern conference which also pairs Alabama Mississippi State, Louis jana State-Auburn, and Tennessee Mississippi. Duke, Southern con ference champion, seeks revenge from Georgia Tech. Because or last seasons beating which marred Dukes otherwise perfect record. Georgia and North Carolina also have an inter-conference tilt.
 Far West-Stanford's, intersec- tional duel with 4 Northwestern heads the slate Two Pacific con ference games match oregon and Washington. and Montana and l.. c. L. A. Washington State. con- queror of Southern California. has breather in Gonzaga. Alonzo Stagg's small but rugged College of the Pacific will try to down Cali fornia. Nl
 Southwest-Rice and Southern Methodist tangle in an apple-crash- CT. while Arkansas tackles Baylor. Outside the conference, Texas A and M. meets Centenary, and Texas plays Oklahoma.
 Rocky Mountains-Four confer ence meetings are headed by the Utah. Brigham Young and the Den yer Colorado Aggies skirmishes. In the other two games, Western State meets Colorado Mines. and Wyom- ing squares off against Montana State. .1.

(Unticd Press Stan Coresp0ndent)
 Pittsburgh, Oct. 13--(UPl l-The Trojans of Southern California, for years the, most feared football players in the United States, make their eastern debut today in a bat tie with the Pittsburgh Partners at windswept Pitt. Stadium.
 The Trojans, licked 19 to- Q by Washington State last week, are not the Trojans of a few years back who pounded all opposition to a pulp. but their reputation was expected to draw capacity crowd of 65,000.
 ' Pittsburgh, with one of it's finest teams in years, will start the game almost 3 to favorites, and its followers are confident the Pan- thers wil avenge those AT to IA and 35 to o lickings handed them in Rose Bowl competition by the Trojans.

Like an avalanche hurting down a mountain side the Estimators get bigger, better. stronger, tough CT and more powerful.
 As they dug themselves out of the debris, this weeks victims were found to be the Chasers. The On- rushing Estimator avalanch c knocked all of the wind out of the Cllasers, completely demoralizing them, especially HanlOn who with out wind is like a mo contest" watch race.
 The Chaser team started strong and for while there was more ex- citement created on No. 1 and 2 alleys than there would have been had Mac West been there climbing down ladder.
 The first game for while was closer than F.. l.. BradIey's mus tacle Is to +. l.. Bradley. But, then came the big boulder, Bob Rcinicke, who ended up his first string with four sensational spares.
 The avalanche was on and in- creased i'm intensity in the second game ana the Chasers were com pIetely sfnOtliered with Reinicke, Newell and Miller riding the crest of the slide with scores Of (read- ing from left to right) 124, 130 and 115.
 The end of the Chasers was in sight. In the final game when one of Ferris men would show himself in the clear he was immediately popped with a spare or strike by one of the Estimators. The ava lancha was com nleted

Originator" of Flag day, It would
be difficult to award that title to
any one person, since several Amer
leans contributed to the idea.
One of them is woman, Mrs
Laura B. Prisk, widely known as
the Mother of Flag day." During
President Wilson's administration
she was editor of the Patriotic In
structor in New York and in that
publication suggested setting aside
June IA as Flag day. Her sugges-
ton was forwarded by the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution in
New York to the President, and his
proclamation of May 13, 1916, fol-
lowed soon afterwards.
Another who seems to have q
just claim to the title of 'origina-
tor" is Benjamin Altheimer of New
York. Under the title of Flag Day
Man." the New Yorker magazine in
its issue of June ID, 1880, told his
story as follows:
If the lady on your left tires Of
your more ponderous dinner topics,
you might tell her about Benjamin
Altheimer. Benjamin Altheimer,"
you might say, "is responsible for
Flag day; did you know that?" To
prove that you are not just trying
to be funny, you can give her the
facts about Mr.. Altheimer, and how
he thought up Flag day. Here they
are: He is real person, alive, and
well, and lives right in old New
York. Although eighty, he can still
get about spryly. No one in the
world gets a greater thrill out of
walking up Fifth avenue on June
IA than he does. After all, he put
those flags out there-yours and
mine and Lord & Taylor's and every
body else's.
Mr.. Altheimer thought of setting
aside special day for the Spangled
Banner, back in 1910. He was on
a visit to San Antonio, and he
watched with sparkling eyes the
flag-retreat ceremony at Fort Sam
Houston one afternoon. 1t i'm
pressed him nightly. He was
about sixty then, and great pa
triot in a quiet way, a lover of
the flag of the Betsy Ross tradi-
ton, of the United States of Amer
lea generally oddly enough, he was
born in Germany
He came to America as young
man, plunged into banking and
brokerage out in st. Louis and, in
no time, made millions of dollars.
His gratitude for the quick success
that he, foreign-born Jew, had in
a strange country, took the form of
philanthropy and patriotism. He
gave to hospitals, founded libraries,
aided government projects, financed
