Government Of q lot Of dead horses" i.
Under the new plan, either the Re-
covery Administration or a new credit
surveying agency would cooperate with
the banks in passing upon the desira-
bility Of loans applied for and would
recommend the approved ones to the
r. F G. for underwriting. The ground
work for this activity already Is being
laid at the Recovery Administration.
Proponents Of the project believe it may
be carried out with little or no actual
cash outlay by the r. F. C. and that
potential borrowers would benefit
through lower carrying charges and
collateral demands.
Loans would be made for financing
ordinary business operations, especially
for small reliable firms finding in
creased costs under N. r. A. too heavy
Tor creditless operation, and also for
purchases Of new equipment and ma
chinery, so that plants with obsolescent
tools could bring themselves up to q
new level of efficiency and at the same
time stimulate the capital goods indus
tries which now lag farther behind In
the recovery march.
Recovery officials now feel that real
results in obtaining unemployment in
industry must depend largely on get
ting the dow OF credit started, as busi-
! ness expansion and wage increases can
not be had In sufficient volume without
extended commercial financing.
Despite belief that bank and general
business conditions have improved sub
stantially, the officials admit that pri-
vate credit channels are not yet able to
lend in anything like the needed volume
| without considerable Government back
ing. So far the extent of underwrit-
ing which the Government would as
sumo under the new plan has not been
outlined, bus the plans proponents be-
lieve it would have to be for q major
proportion Of each loan.

FERARRI'S COMIC BOWLING NOTES

Did you ever see a dream walk ing? Did you ever see Dan "Roughhouse' Ferarri bowl? Well, the fans that watched this league do it's stuff last week had an op- portunity to see both when ''Roughhouse" walked around the alleys in his sleep. He woke up after the games to find he had hit 139 for high single and BIT for high three.
 Andy "Fishman" Cretella took day off from his fish wagon to come into the alleys fresh Chats more than I can say for the mer- chandise he sells) to get himself nice S52. Mike Guisti kept his place as head man on the average list by hitting s51. to keep his average at 116.
 John 'Longboat" Ferarri's Pop eye team put the skids to Phil "Kayo" LaBlanc's Moon Mullin bunch to take all three encounters. Nick Ferarri did some grand slam- ming to help the winners. Al Moon" Tacinelli found his iron hat and showed big improvement to lead the losers.
 The Jiggs team led by Frank "Dinty" Earth, their great play ing manager ran wild, hitting 462 and 40 to take two from Eddie Major" Meafski's Hooples. have already told you of the stars of these games. "Roughhouse" and "Fishman" being members of the Jiggs team. Joe Pallandino had an off night, which in fewer words lies the real story behind the Hooples defeat.
 Unless the boys added the scores wrong, Johnnie Kurth's Newfan- gles actually won two games, for the first time this season. Yes, you guessed it, the victims were none other than the great Palooka team. Tony Jordan and "Swede" Orlando were in great form for the victors. Paul "Knobby" Lorton and Pete Cardozzi tried hard to swing vic- tory to the Palookas but Frank Bausor was too much of load for these boys to carry.
 At the end of the first round. we find the Popeyes in first place with 12 games in the win column against losses. The Jiggs are in second place, one game behind. Close behind them in order are, Moon Mullins, Hooples, Palookas and last and least the cellar
 champs, Johnnie Kurth's New l fangles.

Colgate scored it's first touch- down against Holy Cross in the opening period of their game at Worcester, by running a punt back 95 yards with the aid of this lat eral.
 |. Jim Hobin, Holy Cross left half back, kicked from his 45-yard line. Martin McDonough received the ball on the Red Raiders five-yard line, and, as host of Purple for wards rushed toward him, Tipped it laterally to Ike Kern, who had circled behind him. Hesitating only an instant, Kern sprang through gap in the charging Holy Cross barrier.
 Colgate players, after they had blocked, wheeled to the sideline and formed 8 protecting phalanx.
 Perfect interference was accord ed Kern until he reached midf1eld. By that time every Holy Cross tackler was hopelessly out of range. Kern ran S5 yards without being touched by an opposing player.
 Colgate's 20-7 victory removed Holy Cross from the ranks of the undefeated. The importance of the passing game was well demon strated. The Maroon and Whites second touchdown was the result of another lateral, and its third was registered on a forward pass.

 New York, Nov 13.-(UP)- When the time comes to pick an All-America team this year, I am going to disguise myself as a
 snuff drummer from Tennessee and get out of sight and out of sound.
 I want no part of it whatsoever. With only eleven places to be filled there already are top-hands enough to form a dozen All-America. And the season isn't finished. When the shooting's all over: there'll be so many e1igibles you won't dare to open your ice-box for fear a couple of them will be de-frosted.
 Using code, invisible ink, the heiliograph, and a carrier pigeon named Milton, have informed me that the major trouble in selecting an all team this year will come in trying to reduce the back field candidates to four. The year 1884, 1t seems, has produced a bumper crop of young men who not only can carry the mail, but who can kick, pass and in all the other ways advance it into the promised land.
 Time was when triple-threat back was something to write home about. Those days have gone for ever. Now they're dime dozen. Without stopping to refer to my

TO-DA Y,S SPORT PARADE

carefully kept card index file, I can name you dozen or more backs hot enough for anybody's all-anything club.
 There is Grayson of Stanford, Le Van of Princeton, Simons of Tulane, Kostka of Minnesota and Berwanger of Chicago.
 And there's Berries of Navy, Nichelini of St Mary's, Nicksick of Pittsburgh, Mickal of Louisi- ana State and Buckler of Army.
 Not So Bad
 To continue, what's the matter with Shakespeare of Notre Dame, Howell of Alabama, Lund of Min- nesota, Ginter of Syracuse, Bara- bas of Colum bia, Wilson of s. M. U., Armbein of Michigan State, and Constable of Princeton? What four would you pick out of that group? You could get some sweet combinations.
 You couldn't ask for a better backfield than say, Howell, Cray son, Le Van and Berries. There's not one of them but can run like a striped tail lemur, make more and better passes than a sophomore on a house party and kick like a A. Furthermore, they're smart, and they can tackle and they can block.
 But the same can be said of other combinations to be picked from the group named. A back field with Kostka at full, Buckler at quarter and Berwanger and Mickal at the halves, could match the first four at anything from marbles to parchesi. But this is only eight. Whats to be done with such aces as Simons, Nick sick, Lund, Wilson, Warmbein and the others? They've done every thing that could be asked of an All-America this year.
 Only one thing is certain--when the All-America is picked a lot of folks are going to be sore to find their favorite left off. And with just cause, too, for there'll be players on the second and third teams, and listed with the honor able mentionables, who can pack that football with anybody, any, time.
 But as I said, it won't be wor- rying me. I'll be out drumming my snuff.

Curran place-kicked the exxtra point.

There are two angles to the meeting that stand out at this writing. One of them is the re- ported reorganization of the fa- nous North End "" team of the 1g26-27-2s period which will play as a unit this season, according to prcc mt plans, under the franchise of the North End Thomas club, regular league entry for the past several years. They will probably be managed by that ace of execu- lives. Roisterous RenaId Ouin1et, known to the boys as "Fat" and to the league as it's most cornplacent individual.
 Know Their Stun
 Al Dobkins, Henry Santopietro, Harp" Dunn, Herb Colby and Chick Carney will comprise the Thomas Club team of 1934-35 and those who remember them when they were up and coming realize that there is plenty of hoop class that has been tested by time and not found wanting. Possibly Henry "Red" Smithwick will be added to the roster, for there are few who can outgrab him when it comes to getting the ball off the blackboard. All in all, the NEY boys of seven years ago are getting set for a bang-up season in the City League and in view of the fact that all but one of them have been playing steadily ever since, they will prob- ably have it.
 New Blood?
 A brand new team, the Irish American A. c. may also find its way into the league this season. At any rate, officers of the newly formed organization have been angling for league franchise, it is reported, and should one of the annual competitors drop out of competition for lack of material, either physical or financial, the Irish Americans will get the bid and with membership well over 400, will be welcome addition to the circuit and in position to put a first class team on the floor.
 Washington Hills, Brooklyn A. C., Sacred Hearts, champion Naug- atuck Funerals and Carringtons will probably have representatives on hand for the first meeting of proir to the seasonal opening to- morrow night. Very few have definite plans for the season, it is thought, but will soon start to re- organize their players for the con- ing campaign.

 Last evening the girls under the leadership of their captain, Stef Sliz, put in lengthy passing and shooting drill. The team this year will be without several veterans and will be entirely built around the sharpshooting Stef Sliz and stellar guarding of Wanda Gina.

The Waterville Maroons will hold a practice tonight at 7:15 o'clock in preparation for their in- vasion of Litchfield this Sunday to meet the undefeated Cowboys. The cowboys have clicked off six straight victories and expect to make the Maroons their seventh. However, the red-shirted boys have added considerable strength within the last few weeks and expect to pull out victory with the power houses Boroway and Misonski. The Maroons in all probability will meet the South End Bearcats in return go the 25th of this month with the winner to face the Clair monts for the city championship on December 2nd in the last foot ball game in this locality. All members of the Maroon squad are urged to appear on time for the drill tonight.
