WESLEYAN AND
 TRINITY TOPS
Both Connecticut College
 Teams Among Ranks 2 of Undefeated
lBy United press)

Connecticut's Little Three" each with impressive victories over Sat- urday's opponents, laid of today over the holiday before making ready to close the first quarter of the football season.
 Connecticut State, winning over Massachusetts State 13-0, planned a shakeup in the backfield which showed strong defensiyely but weak in offensive work. At least two re- placements were planned against Worcester Poly here Saturday.
 The Wesleyan Cardinals, pitted against Bowdoin, made an easy .20-0 conquest, depending principally upon passes. Daddario accounted for two scores. Tel1 Cards go to Haverford Saturday, planning to use the same starting lineup. Trinity was the remaining Con- necticut team to be unscored upon Saturday, taking Worcester Poly at Worcester, 14-0. AerialS again played the leading role, accounting for both touchdowns made by Capt. Kob- roSky and Truex. This week Trinity goes to Gevena to play Hobart col lege.
 Trinity and Wesleyan are the only undefeated teams of the Little Three" Connecticut State having lost to the Cardinals a week ago by a field goal.

Strong Support For Carr-HaSSett Bout At Meriden

Meriden, Oct. 12-(Special)-An eight round semi final, pitting Johnny Lasinski of Meriden against Eddie Coderre of Providence, tops a strong undercard supporting a ten-round main event between Steve Carr of Meriden and Dan Hassett of Philadelphia on Meriden's first pro boxing show in ten years, set for Tuesday night, at the city hall auditorium.
 LasinSki, former national A. A. U. light heavyweight king, won over Ace Clark, Johnny Hogan, Thys Menger, and two others before Co., derre, twice victor over Nathan Mann, decisioned him by a close margin in a recent bout ot halt his pro winning streak. The re-match shapes up aS a hot duel.
 Two fours promising real action will send Pete Mikowski, local fea- thehrweight, against an old enemy, Eddie McGraw of New Britain; and Johnny Mack, unbeaten New Britain lightweight with long string of kayo wins as an amateur, against Pop-Eye, Willimantic favorite. A six-rounder between Johnny Duarte, Providence Negro, and Al Boros, Bridgeport heavyweight, rounds out the slate.

~ rey Wrist

Columbus day, supposedly mark ing 444 years since the little man from Genoa, proved that the heads of his critics were flat by sailing to and discovering America, passed quietly enough on the Waterbury front, with not even one claim in behalf of Lief Ericson as the real discoverer of this old country of ours. As matter of fact, the pat- rons who were of sporting turn of mind and rolled in over the week. end to get their share of ESso, had more than a little to say about the great 300-mile grind around those hair pin turns at the new Roosevelt Raceway on Long Island.
 Art Kramer and Harold Shallett, who think nothing of making an annual trip to Indianapolis for the 500-mile race against time and the Grim Reaper, were among the early arrivals at Long Island today. anticipating a full share of thrills while watching the 75 lap test of skill, nerve and luck, coincident with the inauguration of new type of racing course, that has been agreed is the most hazardous in the world.
 And while on the subject of auto racing, they tell me Ed Mcdonald who guides a Chase truck around town during the week and then hops in racing car on Sundays, has al- ready made favorable impression with fans at Stormville, N. Y.: while Rocco Diorio, the genial host, does h isracing between his excellent downtown restaurant, the Waverly inn, which has become THE Satur- day night rendezvous for the folks who return from the football games at Yale bowl. Able and smiling Herb Liebeskind drops in all set for buying expedition in New York where the latest in Milady's Fash- ions are to be had for the asking.

YALE TO BOLSTER
 MIDDLE OF LINE

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 12-(UP) -Yale's football squad rested to- day before preparing to meet Navy at Baltimore Saturday.
 The morale of the squad was bolstered considerably with the 7-0 victory over Pennsylvania two days ago, after scrappy uphill tussle with line-smashing Quaker elev- en. Observers felt that the team was destined for successful sea- son.
 Gained from the Penn game was the knowledge that the Yale cen- ter of the line was still to be strengthened. Time and again in the first half Penn easily smashed through to break up flock of Yale aerials before they could be start ed. It was a passing game that accounted for the only score, Frank to Ewart over the goal line.
 Scrimmages against the gray team using Navy plays will begin tomorrow.

NUVOLARI GETS
 TOP CHOICE AS S2O,OOO WINNER
New Roosevelt Raceway Will Provide Greatest
 Test of Skill
By HENRY McLEMoRE nited Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Staff COrrespOndent) i ,westbury, N. r., Oct. 12-(UP)-- A new chapter of "death in the afternoon" may be written here to- day when AS Of the worlds finest drivers bid forS the $60,000 prize money in the inaugural 3OO-nlile race for the George Vanderbilt cup.
 One hour before noon the cars, representing w&li over half Q mile lion dollars, wilh be given the start ing signal by QSar Wood, holder of the worlds speedboat record. Uncertain
 What wih happen after that no one knows for the track over which the race will be run, is something new. The. foreign entrants have never seen anything like 1t, and neither have the American drivers. The onlyi familiar part of the layout is the sEraightaway, and that is barely saven-tenths of 8 mile long. The remainder of the four-mile course consists of an almost contin- ual seriesI of hairpin turns, right angle bends, "S's," double S's" and cutbacks.
 The drivers must negotiate this tortuous Snaze 75 times. The race originally was scheduled for 400 miles but was reduced to 300 when A. A. A. officials said that there wasn't car or man tFaat could withstand it for that distance.
 The average speed of the winner is likely to prove disappointing to those accustomed to speeds of 70, 8u, and even 90 miles an hour on highways. The turns of the track are so acute they can't be nego- tiated at more than 30 or 40 miles per hour. Along gasoline alley, gar- age row at the speedway, it is be- lieved that the winner will finish with an average speed of between 60 and 65 miles an hour.
 Looks Best
 The No. qualifier was Tazio Nuvolari of Italy, and in his Alpha Romeo he averaged just shade un- der TO for five laps. He isn't likely to do this well in the race itself, for his car wouldn't stand that pres sure for 75 laps. Nuvolari will start the race a prohibitive favorite. The the past fifteen years he has been recognized in Europe as the finest driver in the world. He has record of 83 victories in 156 races.
 The Italians var is the fastest of the lot. It can reach speed of bet- ter than 150 miles per hour on the short straightaway.
 It is certain to be spectacular show. Every one of the bends can be seen by the spectators (and up- wards of 50,000 are expected to pay from $40 to $27.50 to see the race). Yesterday Lou Meyer of Los An- geles, three-time winner of the h. dianapolis classics, crashed into the inside guard rail while barreling through 8 turn, and completely wrecked his car.
 Chief American hopes, now that Meyer is out, are Billy Winn of De- troit (Miller): Wilbur Shaw, Indian apolis (Gilmore SpeciaD; Deacon Litz, Dubois, Penn, (Thomson Spe- ciaD, and Bob Swanson of Los An- geles, who will pilot a midget racer.
 The winner of the race--a revival of the old Vanderbilt road racs across Long Island-will receive $20,000.
