TERRYVILLE IN INITIAL GAME
 WITH BRISTOL
Class C-D Champions Have No Home Court; Dates
 Are Named

Terryville, Oct. 28.-The Terryville high school basketball team, wir- ners of the Western Connecticut In- terScholastic and class 0 and D state hanpionships, last spring, will open their season Thanksgiving night when the Orange and Black squad, coached by Joseph JablonowSki, will journey to Bristol to meet their old- est rivals, Bristol high, at the state armory.
 Coach Jablonowski, who is hold ing several practice sessions each week, stated today all games sched- uled for the Orange and Black will be played away from home this sea- son. The only time the, team will a.. pear on a home surface will be when they stack up against the Alumni five.
 The team, playing under great handicaps last season, will be un- der still greater hanuicaps this sea- son with all games being played on a larger floor than their practice court.
 Shameful
 .--,,::e team will practice on the town hall floor, but due to the dan gerous playing surface, many of the high school fives in the state re- fuse to play here with the result it w..S deemed advisable to play away from home.
 In spite of the disadvantage of playing away from home, Coach Jablonowski is looking forward to another successful season with sev- eral members of last years team available for play again this season. Among the last years players who will be back this season will be John, Werner, captain; J. Kovalski, Kenna, George Janser and Burkow- ski. Dubansky, who was one of the outstanding men last seasons, but was unable to play the latter part of the season, is back again and with him, the team should be great ly strengthened. Other players who Pete is banking on to help the team greatly will be E. JanSer, TruZkow- ski, Monaghan and T. Kovalski.
 The schedule arranged so far with games away from home fol- lows:
 November 26 at Bristol; Dec. 4 at Plainville; Dec. Il at Leavenworth; Dec.

Today's Sport Parade
By Henry McLenore United Press Staa Correspondent

New York, Oct. 28.-(UP)-If you are a close follower of prize fighting-and most of us are, if only because of its tremendous inn portance in world affairs-you un- doubtedly have read of Harry Bal samo, who is known to his inti- mates in the profession as "the belting brakeman" "Slambango Bal samo," and simply "Balsamo the Bloodthirsty".
 Harry BalSamo, young man with the slanting beetle brow so often found in intellectualS and good right hand hitetrs, was pro- jected into world attention recently when he put what is known as the "slug" on one of Germany's more prominent citizens, Herr Eric See- liz. The slug" was put on Herr Seelig in the first round of bout in which he was favored, and stiff fened him horizontally in a great hurry.
 He's Killer"
 The boxing critics, to whom a lethal right hand slug" is every bit as satisfying as rare old first edi- tion is to a Bibliophile, immedi- ately hailed Harry Balsamo, who had been piecing out his income by serving as subway brakeman, as the deadliest killer since Cain. In their enthusiasm, which was height ened by the sihght of Herr Seelig stretched out on the canvas as if being readied for a burial at sea, they overlooked the risk they ran. They entirely forgot that to hail a fighter as killer for knocking out foreign opponent is much the same as calling a golfer another Bobby Jones because he shot in the low sixties on a Tom Thumb course. Foreign fighters, as you know, usually have two rather important Weaknesses-they can't hit and they can't take it. These weak nesses wouldn't bother an ornithc- logist, or dentist, even, but to a prizefighter they are sever handi- caps.
 But as it turned out, the critics were right. Harry Balsamo is a killer. We know he is because since

.L.S.U. RATES TOP
 AMONG ELEvENS OF THE SOUTR
Tie Game With Texas Only Smudge on Record;
 Duke Surprise. Victim
By LYMAN J. ARONsTAAG

By LYMAN J. ARONSTAM Limited Press Staff COrrespondentT
 Atlanta, Oct. 2S-CUP)-Louisian& State, defending its southeastern conference crown, rules the football dynasty today in Dixie, which is without an undefeated, united team.
 Judged from statistics, Auburn Tulane and Alabama, whose only black marks are ties, dispute the L. S. U. reign. But the Bayou Tigers, three deep at every position. get tho No. nomination.
 Auburn, rated in the preseason dope as Rose Bowl hopeful, was held to 8 0-0 tie by Tulane and had narrow squeezes with Tennes- see, Detroit and Georgia.
 Contender Tulane, the surprise team of thd south, does not match l.. s. U. in its first year under Lowell Dawson. But the Green Wave has compiled near-perfect record against five touch opponents, at least four of which were figured to win.
 Alabama, whose only reverse was scoreless tie with Tennessee, has young team by comparison.
 In five starts against formidable foes, Louisiana State has rolled up l0 points to 27 for Rice, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia and Arkansas. L. s. us only reverse was a 6-6 deadlock with Texas U.
 Sparkling L. S. us machine are big Bill Grass, Rock Reed and Pinky Rohm in the backfield, and the great Gaynelle Tinsley All-America end last year, and Marvin Stewart at center. The Tigers still have to face Mississippi State, Auburn and Tulane, three of the south's tandout teams.
 On its record, Tulane is most inn pressive of the other teams in the mai nshow. Figured soft touch in the preseason ratings, Tulane. has developed into one of the south's powers, mainly because of the blos- soming of Bucky Bryan, John An drews, Ralph Bond and Noel Lof- tin into a quartet of dependable | backs.
 Tulane took Mississippi by one point, 716, held Auburn to O-O deadlock. and then gained momen- tum steadily, taking Centenary, Col- gate and North Carolina in it's stride.
 Two Man Team? s*
 Auburn, failing to click in expected form, is one of the south's disap- pointments. Alabama has performed better than anticipated, but the Crimson Tide depends too much on Joe Riley and Joe Kilgrow.
 Other teams which pack punch in the south are Duke, surprise victim of Tennessee: Georgie Tech, which fell before Duke; Kentucky, defeated by Georgia Tech, and North Narolina, loser to Tulane.
 A greater distribution of strength throughout this section has been responsible for the downfall of Dixie's favored teams from week to week. Muddling of the champion ship picture began the very first week of the campaign when Tulane stopped Mississippi. ' The last of the south's teams with, perfect records fell Saturday when Bob Neyland's unpredictable Ten nessee Vols beat Duke and Tulane downed North Carolina.

 NEW GRAY DERBY MAKES HEADLINES| Lively Gunmetal Shade Should Please Young Menl

 The model selected to introduce' the gInmetal shade is an excellent adaptation of the type of bowler with narrow, flat set brin favored by well-dressed Londoners. The one, and seven-eightS inch brim carries a five and one-eighth inch crown which is conservatively belled, but not as kettle shaped as some of the extreme English models. These di- mensions give the new hat quite a different appearance from the 5 b9 2 block which has been, year in and out, about the most popular proportion.

 The sun of the old iron hat" has long since set on the far side of the great divide that separates clumsi- ness from comfort.

 The first really new idea in derby hats since Electors puppyhood has just burst up on the style horizon. It's a brand new color-gunmetal- a dark oxford shade that makes up into a swell-look- ing lid. It 'breathes style alertness without the suspi- cion of foppishness aroused by the paddocky pearl gray derby or the politico-horse- and-buggy anachronism of a brown one. The new gum metal is a really radical change from conventional black, yet cannot be regarded as a frightening shot in the campaign to make men color conscious. Past attempts to lure the male sex into bowl CTS of pastel rainbow tints have been scarcely a bowling success.
 A Conservative Shade
 The new shade is decently dark, but not dismal. It should gain a well come from men prone to find gloomy link between black bowlers and mortiiary parlors. Its complete ly neutral tone harmonizes well with almost any color overcoat. And there is no doubt that 6 derby, worn
