on the most difficult job of 20
years experience. Experts had
long been convinced that large
planes were Enthusiastically in
efficient load carriers. that the
larger the empty weight of the
plane the smaller the proportion
of that weight which could be car
ried in fuel and commercial load.
Some of the trans oceanic fliers
of the '20s had carried as much
useful weight in their small planes
as the planes themselves had
weighed, but the experts said
that no big ship could ever do this,
and they proved it mathemat-
ically.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Martin set
out to build such a ship. In their
favor was the fact that they
would have engines more power

of any previous flying boat; more
efficient propellers; materials
stronger and lighter than those
which had gone into earlier
planes.

Thomaston, Nov. 22.-Coach Man dell Greens Thomaston high school basketball quintet will open the lid of their 1o35-36 season tonight when they will match baskets with the strong Ridgefield high school ag- gregation at the local surface. In the preliminary, the Thomaston maidens will stack up against the Newton girls, this game commence ing at 73o. Although the Clock Towners shape up as a big team, the squad lacks experience. Captain Henry Czyz Is the only regular re- turning from last seasons squad while Stanley Czyz, sub on last years team will hold down @ guard position. The pivot position will be given to Arnold Foster, a six-foot- two youngster who has had no pre- vious experience. Bobby Anderson, Eddie Doyle and Henry Czyz will hold down the forward positions while Phil Sherme.a, San Czyz and Kenneth Johnson will be used in the back court. The team has enough size, but lacks experience, then again local fans believe that like all the other Green coached combines, they will give a good ac- count of themselves before the ses- sion draws to close.

 SHARKEY FIGHT
Comeback Trail Is Opened Tonight With Unknown
 Winston in Hub

Boston, Nov. 22-(UP) - Jack sharkey, who shelved his gloves flor good" after dropping the world heavyweight championship and three straight bouts back in 1883. launches an ambitious comeback campaign when he meets Eddie (Unknown) winston of Hartford in a Hereunder at Boston Garden to- night
 Physically fit but noticeably slow on his props, the 3S-year-old squire of Chestnut Hill faces the active Connecticut negro as the first test in a program which Jack feels sure will lead him to profitable matches with Joe Louis and Jimmy Braddock.
 Looks Like Win
 If Jack gets by Winston, as he probably will on boxing skill alone, it's the aim of his managers to pit him against three or four other second-flight heavyweights, a couple of more rugged heavy weights, and then angle for 8 Sharkey-Louis fight in one of the Boston Ball parks next summer. The program sounds far too ambi- tious for a fighter, well past his prime, who was kayoed by Primo Camera and outpointed by King Levinsky and Tommy Loughran two years ago.
 Boston fans have taken little in- terest in Sharkey's comeback plans and pomoters win fare well if the garden is half filled tonight. Jack detoured Boston in his heydey-he hasn't appeared in g Boston ring since 1928-and there's no rush to see much slower Sharkey now. Jack has been training diligently for nearly two months and expects to weigh in under the 200-pound mark.

HARVARD BACKS SCHEDULED TO START UNKNOWN
Harlow May Wait Until TOss-Up to Pick Play-
 CTS Against Yale
BY HENRY MINOTT United Press Stan COrrespOndent)


 United Press Stan COrrespOndent) Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 22-(UP) A Harvard mystery eleven" will try tomorrow to fulfill the early season prediction of Coach Dick Harlow. who promised that his team would defeat at least one major op- ponent before the final kick-oh of 1885.
 To date the Crimson has not been able to make his words come true. unless the major opponent" was Brown, usually potent but this year hopelessly weak, which was trounced 33 to 0.
 But a victory over Yale to-mor- row, when the ancient rivals meet for their 54th game before some 48.- 900 spectators and 5000 vacant seats, not only would vindicate Harlow but would set this down as thorough ly successful season for Harvard.
 Although twice-beaten Yale is rated a 2 to 1 favorite, with Q few bets reported at 3 to l, these lop- sided odds are hardly justified by comparison of records against n1u- tual opponents.
 Both Army and Dartmouth scored two touchdowns each against Har- yard and Yale. And the Crimson outscored the blue against both Brown and New Hampshire.
 Moreover, to-morrow's game is the last for Harvard and it can shoot the works" whereas Yale must con- serve manpower for its clash with powerful Princeton a week later.
 Coach In Quandry
 The mystery" about the Harvard eleven lies in the dubious makeup of the backfleld that will start against Yale. Harlow has announced his starting forward line. It will have Captain Shaun Kelly and Emile Dubiel at the ends, Frank Maser and Bill Burton at the tackles, Joe Nee and Jim Gaffney at the guards, and Bob Jones at center. But Har- low may not reveal his starting backfield until game time.
 The limited talent of many of Harvards backs is responsible foi Harlow's indecision. Some of his best offensive backs aren't so ho' 0 nthe defense, and vice versa. Har' low may wait for toss of the coin tc determine whether. Harvard receives on the defense and vice versa. liar wind and ground conditions, too, be. fore nominating his ball carriers.
 Guesses
 The consensus to-day was tha stocky George Blackwood will star in the blocking berth, Vernon Strucl in the plunging berth, Freddy Nose ly at tailback and George Ford, tn I.team's best pinter, at wipgback. B1 it won't be any great surprise i Don Jackson, Johnny Adzigiar Tommy Bilodeau, Lea Ecker, Georg' Hedblom or Arthur Oakes is in ther' at the kickoff.
