 New York, September = (UP) - Somebody suggested that start this story with a reference to four Lochinvars riding out of the west. but I don't see how I can because Lochinvar was a lovely boy who kept his hair slicked down with bear grease, manicured his nails, never split an infinitive, and kept his trousers creased.
 The guys I'm going to write about came riding out of the west. all right, but they are tough hombres who spit on their hands. use bear grease after shaving, and like a rip-roaring fight.
 I'm talking about the west polo team which goes against the east out on Long Island today. Before the sun goes down the customers. most of whom will be the Long Island horsey set (which means they bleed the bluest blood, pack the fattest wallets and have the best table manners of anybody Tn the country) are liable to be horri- fled, outrages, shocked and plum upset.
 For the West team will be out pTONt LHdt IACAL NASkoAy ONOA eAA> east in Chicago last year was no fluke-you remember that series.
 It was the one the east accepted reluctantly = the Long Island boys just didn't believe team could be gotten together that could give them a scrap. Well, what happened made pol history. Cecil Smith, the 220 pound cow bay from some jerkwater town In Texas; Elmer Boeseke, a strap ping. six-foot-five bloke from Cali fornia: Eric 'Pedley. another Cali. fornian who looks like Mussollnl and rides like Buffalo Bill on drunk, and Alden Roark. fight ing Irish man, out-rode, out-fought. outplayed and completely outdid the effete gentlemen from the east. They banged 'em, bunged 'em, ana beat 'em. They banged 'em and bunged 'em some more. The east, home of polo in this country. couldn't believe 1t. They just couldn't figure out how this bunch of uncouth westerners, mounted one COW pony's for the most part. could whip the pick of the east, mounted on sleek, imported s1O, ,000-a-head horse flesh.
 It will be interesting today to see how the east, three of whose players are college boys. react to the rough stuff. One member or the East team you needn't worry about. I'm speaking of Winston Guest. Guest is built like grand piano, only a bit more substan- tially. and he's been through the international mill, which means he's taken bumps and falls from the best in the business. He can give it and. he can dish 1t. But just how Mike Phipps. Jimmy Mills and Billy Pose will stand up is a question. :. T.
 The chances are they'll take 1t all right. A guy doesn't polo un- less he just has natural leaning for assault and battery, mayhem and murder. It would be rough game player on foot placed on horseback it becomes the hell-for- leatheringest business of them all. After all, when guy cracks you over the head with six foot ma!- let. a solid ball bounces off your noggin. and then a horse sits down on you, you're liable to get huft.

LACK OF WEIGHT
 WILL HANDICAP
 NAUCY'S ELEVEN
Foley to Concentrate on Speed and Varied At-
 tack This Year

Naugatuck. Sept. S-The Naug- atuck high school football team this fall win probably be quite light, it was learned today. Wheth- CT 1t will be fast or not is a mat ter yet to be, seen, Coach Peter J. Foley said today.
 Coach Foley and his son, Ray mond K. Foley, who has assisted him in past years, face one of the hardest tasks i nyears. Only one first string regular from last year. Frank Edmonds, will be on hand to play.
 Uniforms have been issued to the candidates and squad practice has started. Individual practice wah held during summer but squad in- struction had not begun until re- gently It is hoped to play the first game September 29. which is only three weeks off but as yet no opponent has been secured.
 Captain Eugene Galeski will not play it is believed, because he is thought to become above the age limit in October. Sugrue and Mar celonis are the only two others who will probably play this year, who played occasionally on the team, last year.
 Edmonds will be the one of the stars of the team undoubtedly for his experience has made him a real threat. However Coach Foley is hoping to develop speedy and alert backfield. Such players as Dick Tuckey, Tom Red" Scally. Dom Minicucci, Don Kirk. Ed and Richard Enamait and others are lost by graduation.
 The high school is having its usual hard time in arranging open ing games. It is willing to take on the tough ones.
 But other teams are unwilling to tackle Naugatuck for even though the team'c prospects are deemed not so good this year. nevertheless it still has formidable reputation. Manager William Butcher of Bea- con Falls has tried to get several teams here but he has failed. Last year Naugatuck played Junior Re- public it first game and the Amer ican International college of Sprin- field the second game. The locals want to play their first two games at home as they have only three other home games on the schedule.
 As usual Naugatuck plays some of the leading teams in the state. Interest in football in own is gradually mounting as the season hears.

POLO SERIES WILL GET
 CROWD OF 35,OOO
Westerners Strong Favor ties to Take Most Games

By BEN CoTHRAN

Limited Press Stan Correspondent)
 Meadow Brook, Sept. S-UP)- Elevated to the pomp and prom. thence of an international series. the second annual east-west polo matches get under way today be- fore an expected throng of 35,000.
 The customers kno wthe west is tough, very tough. Long Island sent it's best out to Chicago last year to play some fellows from Texas and California who probably knew how to ride a horse but weren't expected to know anything about polo.
 = Know Their Horses.
 The westerners, Boeseke, Smiht and Williams seemed to know nothing more than to ride their opponents over the side boards and then knock the ball out of sight for a goal. This fragmentary Knowledge was so effective that the west won two out of three games.
 The west has practically the same team today; the east has all most, a new one. The lineups will be:
 west-Eric Pedley, No. Elmer Boeseke, No. 2; Cecil Smith, No. 3: Aidan Roark, No. 4. Rube Will Hams has rheumatism and cant play. East-Mike Phipps. No. 1; Jim my Mills, No. 2; Winston Guest, No. 8; Billy Post. No. 4. Tommy Hitchcock is injured and can't play.
 The casts men, except Guest, are young but play good game.

SPEED DEMONS AT
 AVON TRACK FOR
 SUNDAY SHOWING

Automobile / speed races will again be featured Sunday after noon on the Cherry Park track at Avon under the sanction .of the ARA. They will include a fashy entry list of the leading drivers in the East. featuring such stars as Al Jepson who broke the track record last Sunday after George Rice had equalled the former re- cord made by Jepson. If arrange ments can be made in connection with the regular program of events a special match race two out of three heats of one mile each will be made between Jepson and Rice.
 Colonel M. w. Delaney owner of the track has assured the promo ters that the track will be treated to a coat of oil that will keep the dust down and work will be start ed this morning. After Jepson cre- ated new record he informed the crowd of spectators that the Cherry Park Speedway was the best adapted half mile saucer in the New England states. Judging from the time turned in in the various events Jepson's statement is well-taken as several of the events were within four and five seconds of the worlds record.
 Brass City Bid
 Among the early entries besides Jepson and Rice was Sim Lane- hart of Waterbury who finished second in the New England cham pionships at the Eastern States Ex- position races last fall at Spring. field, Ted Darling the speed king of Bridgeport, Ken Warren of Northampton, Pete Casey of North ampton, Eddie Wasek of New Bri- tain, holder of the New England title, Wild Bill Holmes of Yonkers. N. r., Jimmy Clinch local boy who finished second in his first race. Dare Devil Ray Constantine of Springfield and George Way of Norwich. Every effort is being made to secur Bill Troutline of Goversville who has been cleaning up in the Middle West and is now back in this section.
 By popular request the time trials will not start until 2 p. m. The Veterans of Foreign Wars Junior Band will again play before and during the races. As an added attraction and the first time in this SCCllOA tHC COuAITyp hcuuctH Warehouse owner and maker of the fastest midget automobile in the world with 13O miles an hour to it's credit will drive the car that has attracted the attention of thou sands at Sage Allen Company this week in an exhibition of speed. The car is a four cylinder air. cooled motor developing A horse- power.
 The car is only 51 inches long, 29 inches high and 34 inches wide and weighs less than 700 pounds. Last year at the Indianapolis speedway he drove the car for an average of 130 miles an hour. Morehouse built the car for the purpose of bringing back the mid get car speed record to the United States. The ARA officials will again insist that all drivers wear the crash helmets and that no stock cars will be allowed on the inside circle of the track.

YANKEES BLOW
 Al LEAD TO JIM : DYKES AND MATES
Fail 10 Advance in Stand. ing Though Tigers
 Dropped Two
By THEON WRIGHT United Press Stan Correspondent

 New York, Sept S-(UP)-The New York Yankees may now step to the head of the company and be smokeless, non-repeating rifles can weights and classes, of the worlds champion opportunity booters.
 Opportunity not only knocked the shins and stomped on their toes. The New Workers had a chance to shave a game and half off Detroit's lead, and they missed like 1905 Ford. As a result, Rup- pert's trifies are five games abaft the Tigers today, and going no place, steadily.
 Mickey Cochrane's Tigers suf- fered their first double defeat this year at the hands of the Philadel- phia Athletics. Both scores were 5-4.
 Imagine!
 New York was leading the last place Chicago White Sox four to one in the sixth inning. Pick mp the beans, Elmer: you're right. The Yankees lost. They even called in Vernon Gomez in ths eighth inning to take the shellacking. It ruined the left-handed senor's list of ten straight wins, ruined the usefulness of Lou Gehrig's 43rd home run, and left the Yankee athletes walk ing in circles. The final score was 6-5, and it came when Jimmy Dykes pasted two-baser in the last of the ninth, shunting a comrade home.
 Philadelphia built up an early lead to capture thefirst game from Detroit. Jimmy Foxx belted his 41st homer in the third, while Bing Miller slapped another four ply hit in the seventh for what proved to be the winning run. Bob Johnson's homer chased Alvin Crowder in the seventh heat of the nightcap.
