 On the far western slope the big game is between those arch rivals of the lumber belt, Washington and Washington State, at Pullman. Here again is a clash of unbeaten teams, with the winner moving into strong contending position for the Pacific coast title.

CLAIRMONTS PLAY
 STAMFORD HOLY NAME CRIDDERS

Manager Joseph Trumfio's grid- sters, under the banner of the Clair mont A. C., will visit Bridgeport to- morrow afternoon with the sole pur- pose of gaining a victory over the Stratford Holy Name A. c. It will be the third contest of the current season for the Steamrollers.
 Although chances were good that the services of Mike Sheehan and Dave Bartolini will be lent to strengthen the Clairmonts, especial ly for tomorrow's battle when 1t was found out that Patrick Lerz, valu- able man, will not play because of a back injuredy suffered in Sum- days game with the Bradleys, Coach Eddie DiNapoh, upon learning that the two former Crosby high school stars have gone back with the Wa terbury Independents, declared that he will have plenty of material on hand.
 The Clairmonts in opposing the Holy Manners will be tangling with group of tough opponents. With several former college stars in its lineup, the Stratford club, consid- cred to be one of the leading teams of southern Connecticut, is looked by many to be a severe test for the Steamrollers.
 Outside of Lerz's mishap, the Clairmonts approached from Sum- days battle without injuries. Coach DiNapoli has drilled his mates down to perfection for tomorrow's battle. Mistakes were corrected and a few plays were worked.

GEORGETOWN CREST

The lightest man on this years eleven is Don Gibeau, back. who weighs 15O pounds. The heaviest is Mike Petroskey, tackle, who tips the scales at 198.
 Jack Hagerty, Georgetown coach. contrary to the general belief. does not use strict Warner system. It Is a combination of the Warner style, the Lou Little play and some of the professional football Jack learned while playing with the New York Giants.
 All of the Georgetown coaches are former Georgetown graduates. In football Jack Hagerty, Maurice Dubofsky, George Murtagh, DICK Danner, Winner Bradley, Charles Parcels, Bill Downer and Frank Williamson. In basketball and ten his Fred Mesrner. In baseball Ralph Mccarthy, and in track, Jim Mulligan.
 - Joe Meglen and Walter Heron. co-captains of this years team, both reported with injuries for the opening day of fall practice. Heron had fractured toe and Meglen a gash on his wrist that required 20 stitches to heal. Heron is, still on the injured list and it is doubtful If he will play in the opener against Albright on October 4th.
 Len Scalzi, candidate for Q hah- back position, is the cousin Of Johnny 6calzi, former Georgetown star. Tony Barabas is the brother of Steve Barabas, another former Hoya pigskin star.
 The weakest position on last years team is the strongest this year-the ends.

 Watch Kelly
 To-day I don't think there'll be a Navy man who, once that game starts, will give the 1901 affair a thought. And for several reasons. In the first place, the sailors prob- ably don't care hoot what hap pened back in Admiral Dewey's day and time. And in the second, they'll be too busy thinking about and worrying about the big Irishman, Larry Kelley, out on end, and those two sophomore jackrabbits who car- " the ball for Yale, Al Hessberg and Clint Frank. Of the three Yales, I think Kelley will bear the most watching. Some of the boys think the great Kelley brags too much, and keeps his eyes on the grandstand a bit too consistently, but he can play end for my money. Larry's the same sort of end as the or Catfish Smith Georgia had play ing for 'em few years back. The Catfish was just another guy in canvas pants when the going was easy, because he couldn't be both- cred. But when the heat was on- well, he managed to get hot.
 I like Navy to-day. like Navy because it's two and three deep in every position and, pound for pound year after year, will outright any team in the country. Not that Yale won't get down and wrestle you for the ball game, too. That's just how they beat Penn last week after trailing 6 to 20 at one time. But don't think they're quite tough enough to bounce the sailors to-day.

Taft, Hotchkiss
 on Grid Today

The Taft varsity eleven will seek to regain its stride today after be- ing held to a scoreless tie last week by Loomis, when 1t faces Hotchkiss in a game to be played at Lakeville.
 The game promises to be a good one since there are many features which should add interest and en- thusiasm. The home team will be seeking to avenge of 47-0 defeat re- ceived last year at the hands of Taft. Many alumni and parents will attend the contest, for today is Fathers day at the Laeville school an occasion which always encour- ages the players to bigger and better things. On the other hand the visitors, favored last week, will be trying to redeem their poor showing.

'VANDERBMTNAG,
 GOOD HARVEST,
 GOES AT ACAWAN
Ten Eyck Handicap Event Worth $5,OOO to Be Run
 Today; Expect 10000

Agawam, Mass, Oct. 19 - The silks of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, youthful sportsman, will hutter for the first time at Agawam park to- day when the young millionaire se..ds Good Harvest after the five thousand added Ten Eyck handi- cap, mile and sixteenth event which will feature the Saturday card.
 Vanderbilt chose Good Harvest to carry his cerise and white dia- mond silks for the first time in western Mass. because of his sen- sational victory on October 2nd in the Jerome Handicap at Belmont park.
 Last spring, the three year old son of Epinard won the Rowe Memorial Handicap at Bowie, but his brilliance was dimmed through the summer months by the feats of Discovery. But then he stepped out to win the sixty-siXth running of the Jerome Handicap, a mile class ic, and that day he beat such thoroughbreds as Whopper, Psychic Bid, Whiskolo, Gold Foam, Rose mont, Exhibit, Vicaress and Man. tagna.
 Of that brilliant performance, when he raced the mile in 1861, the three year old colt was chosen to represent Vanderbilt in the Ten Eyck. He arrived yesterday in per- feet fettle, and will be ridden by Jockey Skinny" Fallon, who also will be making his first bow in this corner of the country.
 A blazing field of nine have been named to start against the Wander bilt star. Including Mrs. Isabella Dodge Sloan's Vicaress; c. ". Whitney's Rough Diamond; J. w. Martins Dark Hope; B. N. Kane's Entry of Fidelis and Go Quick; E. w. Duffy,s Cold Shoulder; Martin Madden's Chancing; and Doc" Moneys Ted Clark.
 The list of entrants are studded with the names of successful win ming thoroughbreds. On October 10 Vicaress won the sixty-fifth run ming of the Ladies Handicap at Belmont park. On Oct. 5, Go Quick won the five thousand added Hart ford Handicap here. On Oct. 2, Rough Diamond won the Bay State Claiming Handicap here.
 It is another dazzling attraction for the growing army of horse fol- lowers, and other great crowd of more than twenty thousand is ex- pected to be on hand.
 There will be eight races today, starting at one thirty, and the daily double windows will close at one fifteen.

Teryville Sports

The outstanding football attrac- ton for the Naugatuck valley Sum- day is scheduled for the Plume & Atwood field in Thomaston when two of Connecticut's oldest rivals meet in their annual contest, the All-Terryville football eleven, boast ing of one of the strongest teams in years, stacking up against the powerful Tigers, a team which is coached by one of Litchfield coun- tvs most popular deputy sheriffs, James P. (TafD Ryan, himself one of the best known football players in the state few years ago.
 The All-Terryville eleven have played in but one game to date this season, that against the Clairmonts of Waterbury which handed the To- calls 12-0 defeat. The Tigers have participated in three contests and have yet to taste defeat.
 Coaches Billie Bertnagle and Adam Harbert, former popular play CTS or the old Thomaston Ponies football team have been putting the All-Terryville eleven through sev- eral stiff workouts in preparation for this contest and feel confident that the Terryville streak of vic- tories over Thomaston teams which started three years ago will be con- tinued this year.
 Both Bertnagle and Harbert will appear in the All-Terryville line- up Sunday against the Tigers, who also will have several former Pony Players in their line up.
 Vic Carlson, another former Pony player, will be seen in action in the backfield of the local eleven, Vic having been one of the out standing players with the local eleven during the past two years. This player who gained much prominence few years ago as a heavyweight prospect, is always bound to gain ground when he is carrying the ball and Thomaston fans will be given an opportunity to see him in action once again, with his powerhouse manner of gaining ground.
 Terryville's hopes of gaining a vic- tory has been greatly increased with the addition of Les Norton, a pow erful man on the line during the past few years, who rejoined the local squad this week and will be seen in the lineup on Sunday.
 Other outstanding players who will be seen in the locals lineup will be Mindella, one of the lightest men on the locals squad, but who is 8 hard player, the Jarvis broth CTS, Krasiski whose trusty toe is ex- pected to keep the ball out of danger; Truszkowski, Peano and a number of others.
 The locals will leave for Thomas ton at l o'clock and will have 25 men on the squad. The game in Thomaston is slated to start at 2:I5 o'clock and when the opening whistle blows, one of the largest crowds to attend football contest in the clock town in years is ex- pected to be on the side lines. Plenty of Terryville money will be in evidence to show that the local fans will back their team to the limit and the confidence that they have in the locals to be ranked with the best semi-pro elevens in the state.

FULTONS CHARGE THE
 LOURDES BADLOSERS
Fulton Athletic Club,
 76 Fiske St., City.

 Dear MT. Cluney:
 As advisor of the Fulton Athletic Club, I have been. directed by its members, and members of the parents executive board to clear ourselves of every suspicion of in- hospitality or partial officiating in our recent games with the Lourdcs Juniors. To quote an article in last evenings Democrat that Although outweighed, the Lourdes were very impressive against the Fultons and ''but for poor Judgment on the part of the officials, lost their chances of victory" We can, but deny this as "sour grapes"
 The officials, James Conlon, a member of Crosby's state champion club, Shorty" Thomas, ex-Crosby and Dartmouth star, and the Lourdes own head linesman off, ciated a fine game and at no time showed signs of incapability or par tiality.
 Hoping this will clear any traces of doubt or suspicion and thanking you for your time and thte space on this page, I remain
 Yours in sports,
 PAUL J. BERNIER,
 Fulton Athletic Club.

 Thirty unbeaten, united teams move into action on widely-scattered fronts. Five are certain to have their perfect records blemished in skirm- ishes which involve ten of the un- beaten, united brigade. Eight others have tough games. Ten apparently have setups.

 The headline game in the mid- west pits Notre Dame against Pitts burgh in another battle of unbeaten, united teams before 45,000 at South Bend. The Irish haven't scored a point against Pitt in three years. but Layden, Pilney, Carideo and Shakespeare should snap the Panth- CTS string of three straight victories.
 Bitter Battle
 One of the bitterest battles Of the day will be fought between Rice and Southern Methodist before 25,- 900 at Dallas. Both boast perfect recnrds hit Rice has proved itself

(UnIteU freSS StdU COrreSpONucUt)
 New Haven, Oct. 19-(U.P0-Yale and Navy, or, more precisely, the Bullodgs and the Sailors will have at 1t again to-day and ont one, but fifty experts have told me that the Sailors should win because they are burning with the fires of revenge.
 They started burning, I am told as long ago as 1901 when in the only game of football ever played between the two teams, the Yales won "A to O. Since that day, if I'm to believe what hear; no sailors heart has ever been completely at rest-not even when he was sitting in the Cathay Bar at Shanghai, his arm around doll, and 8 tall, cool one on the table.
 In short, the boys say that Yale's victory, achieved 34 years ago, has been barb in the hearts of the men who go down to the sea in ships, and that to-day the Navy team, with shout of vengeance is mine!" or something like that, will do or die in an effort to wipe out the stain, and thus restore the supremacy of the seas, the Panama Canal, and the Chattahoochee river, to Annapolis.
 I don't want to be an old tneanie about this thing, but to my way of thinking you can throw the re- venge angle-and not only for this game, but for all others, too-right out the window into Sister Sweeney's backyard. I recall that in the recent world series at Detroit the Tigers were said to be thirsting for vengeance because of the lick ings the Cubs of 197 and 1908 gave the Detroits. Hooey, pure hooey. There wasn't e player on the 1935 Detroits who even knew the, names of more than three or four of the Tigers of 1907 and 1908. I don't
