COACHES FIGHT
 AGE LIMIT FOR
 PREP ATHLETES

Austin, Tex. (UP)-Reduction in the age limit for Texas high school athletes has moved coaches in the state to ask 8 referendum of school principals and superintendents be- fore the 18-year-old maximum be- comes effective in September. 1886.
 Texas Interscholastic League of- ficials arc considering the pro- posal. Reduction of the present 2O- year-old maximum was ordered last spring when evidence was present ed that the rule encouraged athletes to remain in school longer than oth pupils. The average gradua- ton age i1 Texas is IT..
 Several members of the Texas high school coaches association bit- terly opposed the limitation. They believed it would destroy the quail ity of high school athletics, long a source of pride to Southwestern schools.
 An exhibition grid game between senior stars of 1894 recently show ed more than half would not have been affected by the new regula- tion. Twenty-four of 43 partici- pants were eligible under the new rule.

LINEUP SHIFTS
 MAY BULWARK
 BROWN ELEVEN

Providence, R. l., Sept. 12-(UP) The best Il men on the squad, regardless of positions, may carry the burden of the 1885 Brown foot ball team through nine-game camp paign, Coach De Ormond (Tuss) McLaughry indicated today as he sent 43 invited candidates through opening practice.
 McLaughry revealed he has at least five versatile athletes who are at home in most any spot, and his present plans indicate they will be shifted around as the need arises.
 For instance, there is Mike Tur- come, Providence sophomore, who is capable of playing every posi- ton in the line. Harrie Hart, of New York City. though listed as an end, can jump into the breach as halfback. Floyd Kinckley, of Pittsfield, Mass, another sopho- more, normally is an end, but can play center. Adolph Sharkey, of Brockton, Mass, another sopho- more, and Arthur Saklad, of Brook line, Mass, fit in equally we'll at tackle or end.
 Ends In Abundance
 A preponderance of end candi- dates-11 of them-may be con- verted into guards, tackles or backs to plug the gap caused by gradua- tion of II veterans.
 The line, badly riddled by grad uation, probably will demand the greater part of McLaughry's att tention, although an abundance of material coming up from last years freshman team may solve his prob lem in the front ranks.
 The chief problem in the back field appears to be in finding men who can carry on where Bill Kar- aban, Henry Hart and Harry Spin ney left off.
 Speed, weight and ball-carrying ability are the outstanding needs, according to McLaughry.
 Several Veterans Return
 Captain Don Emery, of Win chester, Mass, a center, heads the list of veterans returning for line duty, while the backfield veterans include Warren Ostergard. of Can ton, O.; Perry Elrod, of Boston; Guy Burt, of Edgewood, Forest Pease. of Quincy, Mass, and John O'Reilly, of Worcester, Mass.
 Brown takes on an additional major opponent this fall, resuming relations with Dartmouth.
 The 1895 schedules:
 Oct. 5, Rhode Island State; Oct. 12, Springfield; Oct. 19, Dart mouth; Oct. 26, Syracuse, at Syra- cuse; Nov. 2, Harvard, at Cam bridge; Nov. 9, Yale, at New Ha- ven; Nov. 16, Boston University; Nov. 23, Columbia, at New York :; Nov. 28, Colgate.

The return of General Charles Sherll from Germany with the announcement that he has taken partcuar pains to see what the Hitler horde is doing about the Olympic situation and has found to his complete that Hitler is living up to his promise of no against Jewish athletes As proof of his the good General who happens to be U S. delegate to the Olympic Games cites several letters written by Captain Von Tscharner Und Osten, written to German-JeW1sn athletes INVITING them to take part in the Berlin games next year.
 Whats going on? Can it be that Hitler has been told by delegates such as General Sheril or some other A. A. U representative that America MIGHT withdraw from the Oympcs due to the storm of protest now raging (and trying to be cooled off in regard to U S entry into the Oympics, due to Hters treatment of Jews In Germany athletes not. Jewish athletes in Germany had to become members of athletic associations before being eligible to tryout for the German Olympic teams THEY make any of the teams which they were forbidden to try for places Now they INVITED to take part in the games says General Sheril. Why?
 Because without the United States in the 1886 Olympics the games would be comparative flop and Hitler wants credit for the staging of the greatest Oympics in history. The girl high jump champion of Germany is Jewess and forbidden entry on German Olympic team. One government representative in Austria during minor athletic meet said there were no the team he brought there because the Jews not able enough to surpass ther Aryan rvas Now the Jews invited to compete. Why?
 Because, think, some of the U. s. badge-wearing gentlemen who have been Gin" for years do not want to be "out" and somebody has convinced Adoph to order complete about face You have heard much about the financial campaign to send American athletes to Berlin have you? You won't until the objections die down. but that's the point they won't die down despite desperate efforts of small but powerful minority who have directed A. A. U. athletics for 20 years
 Connecticut A. A. U votes the matter October 7th, and TWO MEN attempting to force the vote in favor of American participation in the Oymplcs can hear the of executive session. now which means the newspaper boys must wait outside until the thing is bagged the desired by the bg shot, Lovely weather, eh what?

Novel Baseball Game at Washington Park-Mc-
 Weeney to Coach

Some body with a great sense of humor has dug up and dusted off the remains of a once normal po- lice baseball squad which will go on parade Sunday afternoon at Washington park at 3 o'clock against an array of brother officers from the new city of Torrington. Patrolman Charley McWeeney, irked with idleness due to so few calls for the "Black Maria" pie wagon, or patrol these fine days, rounded up a bunch of alleged ball players and challenged Tor rington cops to come to Water- bury for a baseball beating that would create a record of some sort or other. However, our spec ial operative reports that Torring- ton will have to be plenty bad to take a beating from the local out fit whose spirit is willing but whose baseball ability is as weak as Jim Carey's XXX special.
 In addition to McWeeney who will probably hug the bench with his mascot, Shooting Dog" as his baseball throwing arm went out with the demise of velvet vests. Jim Fennessey will carry on in his place which will be right un- der (and against) the big tree in right field. Bill Feeley, Tim Keane, Pat Kennedy, Walter Ahearn, Henry Hayes, Pat McCabe, Sarge Johnny Phelan, Al Overton. Gold Striper Lukie Errico will also play and if things get too tough, Char ley Nolan will be rushed to the rescue-of some wandering New York motorist. Bob Moran may umpire the game. 4

Naugatuck, September; 37 - Local football fans are looking forward to Saturday with impa- tience. They wish to see just what kind of a team the Naugatuck High school will have. Naugatucle opens its schedule tomorrow against Bulkeley High of Hartford here. 4A The game will start promptly at 3 o'clock at Recreation Field and a large attendance is expected. Bulke- ley High usually has good team and seems certain to provide fine test for the local aggregation. Nau- gatuck will have to play good ball to escape defeat, many believe.

 Looks taIr .l- Improvement has been noted in the play of the local squad in the past week. However, Coach Peter J. Foley has had no easy task this year, for, although his material is fair, there does not seem to be any outstanding star, such aS Frank Edmonds was last year. However, Edmonds could not go places without adequate support last year and the coach is de- termined to build up an eleven that will give its runners such support. It is likely open formations and trick plays will be relied on if Naugatuck is scored on early to- morrow.
 Tough Task
