Both teams are undefeated to date, All-Thomaston having won two and tied two games while the Murphymen have tied three and won two of theior five engagements. Only one touchdown has been scored on the Ruggiemen this season while the Indies have as yet to have their goal line crossed. The winner of this inn portant tussle has as good claim as anybody to the Naugatuck valley semi-pro crown this season. The Indies will have tough sledding try ing to stop the line plunging of Steve Boroway, the end sweeps of Bobby Greatorex and the brilliant spot posses of "Wes" Anderson.
 The Waterbury club by the addi- tion of two halfbacks during the past week has bolstered their clever at tack. These two, "Jolly" Maxwell of the West Side and Dave Platt of New Jersey are expected to strengthen theilr offense and defense.

TAFT AND KENT IN ANNUAL GRID
 CLASH TODAY
Undefeated Prep School Teams Meet - Local
 Boy With Taft

Today's football game between Kent and Taft schools in the Rock efeller Field will be the feature of the sixth annual Fathers Day cel- ebration at Taft. Over one hundred and fifty fathers have signified their intention of being present for the days events.
 Neither Kent nor Taft has been defeated so far. this season, but Kent is a slight favorite in today's game because of the impressive scores the team has amassed against their opponents so far this season. Kent has defeated Loomis 18-7: HotchkiSs, 20-0; Westminster 4l-0; ana overwhelmed Berkshire School last Saturday by score of 73-0.
 Taft has also been undefeated so far this season, but was held to a scoreless tie by Westminster in the second game of the season when the team developed an acute attack of fumble-itis. In the opening game of the season Taft easily overcame Wilbrahagn by a $40 score, has since defeated Hotchkiss 18-0 and Pomfret 36-0.
 Whatever the outcome of the game, it is sure to be hard-fought exciting battle. Taft has never yet lost a aFthers' Day game and it is believed that the presence of par ents today will spur them on to greater efforts. Kent, on the other hand, will be trying to avenge three successive defeats at the hands of Taft teams.

PRIMO CARNERA
 STOPS NEUSEL
German Quit in 4th Round After Cash Above Eye;
 Title Campaign On

New York, Nov. 2-(UP)-Primo Camera cast a dubious shadow to- day over the heavyweight contend CTS.
 Shorn of his title in 1884 and whipped soundly last June by Joe Louis, the huge Italian began a comeback last night in Madison suuare Garden by winning a four round technical knockout victory oyer Walter Neusel, erstwhile Ger man 'sTiger."
 with that triumph, he took 8 fa- vorable step on the route which he hopes will lead to another chance at the championship.
 Last night was Primois first ap- pearance since he was knocked out hv Louis. He battered the German for the first three rounds and then gashed Neusel's right brow so bad ly in the fourth round that the Teuton quit cold, with blood spurt- ing from the cut.
 The finish came after two min- tltes g seconds of the fourth round Neusel, who had lost only three pre- vious fights in 63 starts, threw up his hands and waved away the amb- ling Alp. He turned and started for his corner even before Referee Arthur Donovan halted the battle.

BUCKEYE ATT ACK VERSUS DEFENSE
 OF NOTRE DAME
Great Teams in Bid for National HOnors
 Today
By HENRY M'LEMoRE

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Columbus, O., Nov. ?. (UP)-Ohio State and Notre Dame, two mighty football powers hungry for the place in the sun that was theirs back in the twenties, clash today in Ohio stadium.
 Undefeated and united, they will play before more than 80,0o0 specta- tors, and with the championship of the middlewest and probably that of the entire nation riding on the outcome. Notre Dame, gunning for its first national title since Rockne and his magic passed on, came up to this battle with 8 record of i've smashing victories. Kansas, Carne- gie Tech, Wisconsin, Pittsburgh, and Navy have bowed to the power and speed of the Irish this year.
 Ohio State has been starving for football glory even longer than Notre dame. Not since 1926. when only a IT to IS defeat by Michigan prevented it from claiming every thing in sight, has Ohio State been a genuine gridiron power.
 With the game but 8 few hours awya it stacks up as g battle be- tween an Ohio State team which is fanatical on the subject of attack, and a Notre Dame outfit which, while plenty dangerous when in pos session of the leather, places major emphasis on rock-ribbed defense.

NAUCATUCK OFF

Borough Boys Feel Con- fident of Winning First
 Victory Today

Naugatuck, Nov. 2-With hopes high for its first victory of the sea- son over a high school team, the re- juvenated Naugatuck high school football team were set to leave this afternoon for Torrington where they will encounter the reportedly weak New City eleven.
 A number of followers of the Nau- gatuck team, encouraged by it's splendid showing against Warren Harding high of Bridgeport last week, plan to accompany the team to the contest.
 The local outfit however is not over confident of winning and has been practicing hard all week for the game.
 Ralph Farmer, linesman for the Garnet, will not be able o,play be- cause of an injury sustained in the Harding contest. He has been the kicker for the locals and how his loss affects the team remains to be seen.

To-day,s Sports Parade

but we'd bet our next weeks pay the Irish don't tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, when ages are mentioned X. =. The team isn't supposed to have man on 1t over g, but if the right side of the line doesn't average well over that, then we're just turning IS and will get our first long pants next week
 Best Kicker
 Bill Shakespeare of Notre Dame, who has earned the reputation of being the best kicker in the coun- try, was consistently out-kicked by Andy Pilney in the last workout .. Shakespeare's boots, with the wind, didn't average much more than 50, but Pilney got of 8 dozen which carried 60 or more yards In our opinion, the best kick CT on either squad is Johnny Ka- bealo, third string Buckeye fuil- back .. Kabealo was kicking we'll over 60 on every try yesterday, but he isn't likely to see much action, being as kicking is the only thing he can do well .. The players aren't likely to get injured when they fall today, because the grass of Ohio Stadium is darn near ankle high It it isn't clipped soon, the backs will have to use scythes to make a path Gov. Martin Luther Davey, who angered every Ohio state fan with his re- cent charge that half the Buckeye players were on the state payroll, will not watch the game The governor says he won't go because he's sick; the fans say he won't go because he's afraid he'll be booed out of the place The house of representatives gave of cheers for the Buckeyes yesterday, and then tried to get the governor to come down and make a pep talk The governor, former tree surgeon, told the playful law makers to "go climb tree"
 Never Played Before
 Tradition used to be the thing that drew the customers, but in this day and age the customers are more interested in the quality of football played than the ivy i. There's certainly no tradition at tached to the game today, being as the teams never played each other before, but there will be 80,- 900 spectators in the house !. The game will offer a great oppor- tunity to those players who would like to make the All-America, what with 275 working reporters in the press coop ready to take notes on their prowess Ohio's two top candidates for "All" honors are Conner Jones, captain and center, and Joe Williams, the Phantom Bantam" halfback There isn't much love lost between Schmidt and Elmer Layden, Irish coach . They refused to shake hands for 8 cameraman.
 Just to put it in the records, our guess on the score is: Ohio State 20, Notre Dame 2.

Hitchcock, Veteran Ten Goal
 PoloiSt, Again Hailed
 As Worlds Greatest

Playing in his first major tourna- ment since his head injuries in the East West polo matches of 1033-- the. United States Open at Vest bury, Long Island Tommy Hitch cock, Jr., is again hailed as the greatest player in the world" Rid- ing for John Hay t"Jock") Whit ney's Greentree team, Hitchcock outplayed his chief rival, the hard hitting, hard-riding Winston F. c. Guest, leader of Templeton, the de- lending champions, led Greentree to a 1929 victory, and returned to his polo peak in the 1935 U. s. Open at Meadow Brook, says The Liter ary Digest.
 Tall, blonde, and of large frame Hitchcock, affects expensive un- pressed, grey flannel suits in his office at Lehman Brothers, New York bankers, is no particularly heavy and plays tennis for diver sion. He has the concentration and tenacity of a champion; but forgets the plaudits of the crowd when he leaves the field. He has been booed too.
 After a polo game he has no post mortems. Team-mateS during tht 19:3 East-West matches had to push notes under his locked door. Hitch cock never hounds players, merely tells them how he thinks the game should be played, then talks thing. over between chukkerS.
 Adventure
 Hitchcock has been riding since he was three years old, began play. ing polo when he was fourteen played hockey at St. Paul's and ten. his and football at Harvard. Al seventeen he was a member of thu famed Lafayette Escadrille, was sho down behind the German lines, bu escaped from a moving train arlt fled eighty miles to Switzerland. Now in his middle thirties, Hitch. cock is married, has wife and twt children, neither smokes nor drinks and leads 8 quiet life. In the word! of Joe Fitton, his trainer, he is "s born gentleman"
 For sixteen years he has con. tinued the name of Hitchcock 1T international polo and despite twt head injuries he is playing as gooc as ever, or polo at its best. Hi! father explained the first American International Team that played England. Hitchcock explained thu last, and from his form in the 193s Open, as observed by the selection committee, he will be on the team which will invade England in quest of the Westchester Cup nexj year
