British 'UnChanged'
By Note From Hull
By HUDSON HAWLEY
International News Service

LONDON, June 13 G.N.SO.-Al-
though Government officials were
chary of comment and no official
statement was forthcoming, the
unmistakable implication today
of all private and public utter
ances was that the note Of Secre-
tary of State Cordel Hull on the
subject of Great Britain's debts
to the United States had not
weakened or altered in any way
Britain's determination to default
the payment due June Is.
Likewise there was no indica-
ton from any source here that
Secretary Hull's note was regarded
as contributing any helpful Sug-
gestion to solution Of the debts
problem.
Press Raps U. s.
The keystone of press comment
was sounded by the Evening Star,
which declared the note showed
the United States was not cour-
ageous enough to meet the situa-
ton squarely. The Star said:
"Year after year we have
asked President after President
to come down to brass tackS.
Now we have had the courage
to say a final no to Americas
all for sweet reasoning. We still
say no."

LINE DRILLS TO OCCUPY ELS FOR
 VISIT OF BROWN
Vale Forward Wall Far From Able to Cope With
 Opponents

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 15-- (UP)-Yale gridders went to work today to straighten out a few kinks in their defensive game be- fore taking on Brown in the bowl Saturday.
 The line weakness showed up against Pennsylvania last Saturday just as 1t did in the opening con- test with Columbia. Although Yale took the Quakers 14-6, a flock of fumbles saved Yale from a possible tie or defeat.
 The line particularly showed sloppiness when, in the close of the third period, Penn took the ball on rushes from their own 22 yard line and planted 1t on Yale's yard line, to be carried over on the first play of the last quarter.
 The toughest part of the Yale schedule lies ahead. The squad will be given skull practice until Wednesday and will then take the field for three days of bolstering up that divison of the game which showed up so badly during the last two contests.
 Injuries removed Vic Barr, right guard, with a twisted knee.

New Haven, Oct 15--Matchma- ker Al Caroly of the New Haven arena today announced the com plete card of his professional fight show scheduled for the adena Wed-' nesday night. Four bouts, ten spot two sizes and a four, will comprise the supporting card for the ten- round feature bout between Andy Callahan of Boston, and Mike "Kid'' F'rattini, welterweight cham pion of Italy.

 Trouble
 In accepting the Callahan notch, Frattini has let himself in for his toughest battle since he arrived here six monthse ago after winning the 147-pound championship of Italy. During his short stay here the Italian champ has taken part in nine bouts, eight of which he won, the last being a decisive win over Cocoa Kid at the New Haven arena a week or so ago. Callahan although only 24 years of age, has met and defeated or knocked out most of the best men in his weight division during the past six years. Only four opponents were able to beat him to the wire and in three cases he has reversed the decision in re-matches

 Unscathed by the wave of umpty-dumpty upsets that ielt the gridiron looking like skillet of scrambled eggs, Jock Suther- lands Pitt Partners and Bernie BieTman's Minnesota Gophers loom among potential champions m the east and midwest. Their collision sn the steel town should be torrid.
 The rest of the schedule is plenty appetizing. It is studded with ln- tersectional meetings in the ast and midwest.
 Promising
 The hostilities may be mapped out as follows:
 East-Ranking next to the Pitt Minnesota game, is St. Mary's in yasion of Fordham. This would have been hailed as a ding-donger had not st. Mary's sbeen the victim of an upset by Nevada on Friday. and had not Boston College held Fordham to 60 victory on the same day.
 Other promising battles involve Columbia and Navy and Harvard and Holy Cross. The intersectional slate brings together: Army Sewanee, Manhattan Michigan State, Dartmouth Virginia, George town William and Mary, Princeton Washington and Lee, Syracuse Ohio, Wesleyan. Villa Noya-Detroit. George Washington Tulsa, and Temple-W Virginia. The latter two will be played Friday. In ad- dition Penn and Rutgers renew hostilities after lapse of 43 years, vd vo1o n1ova Rrnuvn
 Midwest-The headliner of i've intersectional meetings is the Col gate- Ohio State melee, which lost pected beating by Illinois. How ever, it will be Colgate's first test against a major opponent, and it will be important because Andy Kerr's Red Raiders have shown great power in tune-up contests. Other intersectional games involve Michigan and Georgia Tech, Notre Dame and Carnegie Tech, Mar quette and Centre, and Rice and Creighton. Only two big ten games are slated. Powerful Chicago meets Indiana, and unbeaten Wisconsin tangles with Purdue. Iowa plays it's traditional game with Iowa State. In the big six. Kansas tackles Kansas State, and Okla homa and Nebraska, conkueror of Iowa, collide. Illinois and North western have open dates.
 Look Good
 Pacific Coast-Two conference games are slated. California meets U. c. M. l.. A., and Southern Cal, beaten by Pitt, plays Oregon State.

LATE CROSBY DRIVE FAILS TO OVERCOME.
 LEAD BY HARDING
Locals Lose 70 to Presi- dents on East End
 Field

Bakey and Lukachik a nifty high school forward passing team brough a TO victory to Warren Harding in it's first showing of the season Saturday afternoon at Hamilton Park against Crosby High, which has another tough nut to crack in Central of Bridgeport hext Saturday. Bakey, calling the signals for the Park City Pres idents from the quarterback post looked good all afternoon, and with Lukachik, earned sustained tained applause from 2,500 high school fans that saw Crosby's state championship aspirations receive a severe setback.
 Crosby finished strong and were within scoring distance at the final whistle, proving that their attack was late in starting. though the Blue and White outfit gained seven first downs to two for the Hard ing lads, but the kicking of Cham berlain was particularly bad and the Harding overhead attack ex- ceptionally good, which was the difference between the teams.
 Five plays in the second period, produced the Harding touchdown, 1akGY 6 nCdNC tO AuhoShth completely dominating the situa- ton as the scoring play. Mike Since hans pass to Joyce, with three minutes left stood out for Crosby after Dolan and Gribbon carried the ball down field in consistent manner.

 Lima Stands Out

Naugatuck, oct 14-Once more the Waterbury Portuguese lived up to their reputation this afternoon in the Recreation field, beating the Hartford Portuguese by to in the fastest soccer game ever played here, before the largest crowd of the season.
 Surprised!
 Going into the field as favorite the Capitol City team was surprised with its first defeat of the season after 4 straight victories in so many starts, and it's leadership in the Central Connecticut Soccer league, under which the game was played, was reduced to a single point with the Brass City team as runner-up.
 . The game was played fast from the start to the finish with the Hartford team scoring it's only goal after 13 minutes of play, when Green with a fine shot beat Sur gener, one of the best men in the field. Although the Hartford team was a bit better in the first half. no score was made, due to wonder full defensive play of both teams.
 Lima Lively
 s Tn the second half the Water bury players were all over the field, Lima scoring after eight min- utes of play. With 6 minutes to go the same player put his team ahead and two minutes before the whistle blew to finish again he net ted another goal.
 The fine work of Cwikla, who de- serves all credit for all three goals, Tn Bowes, Barbosa and Roche for Waterbury and Green, Rebello and Marsh for Hartford, were the fea- lures of the game.
