|YEARL|NGS GIVE. TRINITY STRONG. GRID ATTACK
Three Second Year Men Make First String Squad;
 Open Against Hamilton

Hartford, Sept. 21.-The Trinity College squad has been working hard to prepare for it's opening game with Hamilton on October 8. Coach Dan lessee and his assistant, Joe Clarke, are well pleased with the prospects for this years season. The squad, numbering thirty, is one of the largest and most prom ising Trinity has seen for many years. The strength of the sopho- mores this year is outstanding. At the present time three of them, Weeks and Talbot, tackles, and Alexander, an end, have positions on the first team. Out of the ten other sophomores, 1t is certain that half a dozen will see service this year. The O,Malley-K Kobrosky pass ing attacks is in good form again. In addition to this, another sexcel- lent pass receiver, Steve Truex, will be keeping the opponents guessing. Last years tackles, Vinick and Keller have been moved into guard so that the two powerful sopho- moreS, Weeks and Talbot, can be used. D'Ange.o at present is hold ing down the center position, but is hard pressed by Hamilton, a stocky sophomore. The ends will probably be Alexander, sophomore, and Lindell who played regularly last year. The backfeld will conssit of the three veterans, O'Malley, Kobrosky and Jackson, along with Steve Truex who would have been regular last year had he not been ineligible.
 Replacements o. K.
 Dan lessee is pleased not only with his first eleven, but with the good substitutes he has to call on this year. The second team backf1eld consists of four sophomores who no doubt will be called upon to relieve the veterans frequently. They are: Budd, Morris, Uphann and Wilcox. Driggs, former Loon1is star, is also likely to see much service as back. The guard positions are perhaps the best fortified. The outstanding sub stitutes who continually threaten to replace the regulars are: Parker, Decker, Dreamer, Howard and Bar newall. The most promising substi- tute ends are: Edstrom and Haight, both of whom are lettermen from last years team.
 On Their Game
 The Trinity squad has been work ing out twice daily since September 9th. During the past week they have scrimmaged considerably and seem to be well ahead of the form they showed at this time last year. Pass ing and kicking have been empha- sized in practice. All four members of the first backfleld are capable passers and pass receivers, although Kobrosky is outstanding with his long and accurate heaveS.
 Trinity's schedule this year is one of the toughest they have ever come up against. The Hamilton game on October 3rd, in Hartford, is followed by Worcester Tech and Hobart, both away; then comes Conn. State at home and Wesleyan at Middle town. After the Wesleyan game, the team rests 8 week in order to pre- pare for the two final home games Norwich and Vermont, closing the season on November 21st.

Today's Sport Parade

lenging for the most famed of all international trophies. They ex- pressed the belief that the best way to ensure suc ;ess in the 1887 chal- lenge was r .o to add more mechani- cal gadgets to an already superb boat but to convince Sopwith of his error in not adopting American methods of handling the craft.
 No Professionals
 At the present time, Sopwith plans to use an amateur crew just as he did when he was beaten four races to two by Harold Vanderbilt in 1884. It was this crew more than anything else which prevented Sop with from bringing Britains 86- year old hunt for the cup to suc- cessful close. The amateurs did nothing right. Slow and clumsy, they were almost pathetically inefa- cient compared with Vanderbilt's hard-biltten, beautifully disciplined professional sailors. In every race, the challenger's crew lost precious seconds in fumbling about.
 Sopwith has been urged to use professional sailors next year but he is not expected to do so. He may, however, bring crew of amateurs together early in the season and train them specially for the chal- lenge races. In 1884, his crew was strange assortment which wasn't completely filled until shortly before the races started.
 The possibility of Sopwith turn- ing the helm over to someone else has been suggested but no one be- lieves he will. It's his boat and he'll skipper it, even though he must know that had the Endeavour I been in more experienced hands two years ago it would have won the cup. Every one who saw the last challenge left Newport knowing that the black-hulled British boat was better than the Rainbow. It was just 8 case of great horse getting an awfully poor ride. Of course, Sopwith, who had been skippering only few years when he challenged in '34, stands to be much better next year. He couldn't help but be with an Americas cup challenge and two more years work behind him.
 Little Worry
 The British yachting boys have expressed the fear that Vanderbilt again wil lbe the defending skipper. This worries them. Not because they hold any bitterness against him because of the famed protest which marked the last challenge, because that all has been forgotten. But they recognize him as the smartest skipper of class q" boats in the world and 6 man who knows Newport waters as no one else does.
 Sopwith's venture next year will be the 18th time that Britain has attempted to regain the trophy. The attempts cover a span of 86 years and have cost more than $10,O00,- 900. If this next try fails, I sug- gest they be allowed an outboard motor in 1889.

Mrs. Helen Clulley Winner Of Fourth Golfing Title

Off-line drives and missed butts were responsible for one of the hard- est won victories of her golf career, when Mrs. Helen Cluney came through with l up margin against Mrs. Frank Bouley that decided the 1886 ladies' championship at Matta- tuck Country club yesterday after noon. The women tied II of the 18 holes played, Mrs. Cluney winning four holes against three for her op- ponent, after being two down at the turn.
 Not until the 18th hole had been played was the ultimate winner in the lead for the first time, going 1 up with and halving the last two holes for the margin of victory, which brought her four consecutive championships at the Mattatuck Country club. Neither player got in under the century mark, Mrs. Cluney's medal score reaching 101 against 103 for Mrs. Bouley.

Greetings, Folks! I think you are going to like the idea of this little column for three reasons. First, 1t was conceived for the purpose of giving you an insight into human nature, and sort or chance to see yourself as others see you. Secondly, in the spirit of appreciation that has developed within me, because so many of you have done business with me and have been so strong in your cunmendation and always con- structive in your criticism, which after all, is one of the pillars of 8 successful organization anywherel Thursday, I would like to know what you think will help our daily business relationship and in re- turn, or my staff will be glad to make helpful suggestions to you at any and all times. when they are needed and wantedl
 Day in and day out, our Cot tage Place proving ground is a busy place and seldom do we have chance to chat in friendly man. ner about the weather, the New York Giants or the gyratiorls of fhe market. For instance. when Judge John F.

ROUGH SPOTS 0F FORDHAM RAMS
 NEARLY SMOOTH
Crowley to Rotate IT. Backs in New Setup;
 PalOu, Mautte Ready
Special to the Democrat

With the opening game against Franklin and Marshall scheduled for Q week from next Saturday. Coach Jim Crowley plans to begin an intensive week of erasing the rough spots from his Fordham foot ball squad at F'ordham field this afternoon. Three scrimmages are on tap for this week, probably to take place on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Only one scrimmage is scheduled for next week. Physical ly, the Rams have come along fast, and would be ready for a game this week, were one scheduled.
 Work As Unit
 Coordination among the back field candidates will be especially sought for in the signal drills, dum- my scrimmages and scrimmages of the next few days. Andy Palau and George Mcknight at quarterback; Al Gurske and Joe Woitkoski at left half; Captain Frank Mautte, Warren Mulrey, Joe Granski and Mike Hearn at the other half, and Joe Dulkie, Red Richards and Johnny Lock at full are the eleven backs who will be rotated in the backfleld setup by Crowley in an attempt to hit upon the likeliest scoring quar- tet. A starting backfeld of Palau, Waitkoski, Captain Mautte and Dulkie might not be a bad guess but much will depend on the way the boys handle themselves in the next three scrimmages.
 Emil Dull, junior left tackle who played in 8 few games last season as a reserve, has become potent fac- tor in the four -cornered fight for the regular job at that post. Dill possesses plenty of power and may get the call over his three rivals, Jim Lawlor, senior letterman and the twd sophomores, Paul Berezney and Mike Kochel. Paul Berezney's lack of experience may hold him back at the beginning of the season.

Bristol, Sept. 21-With Charlie OKeefe scoring on the first play of the game, the Bristol West Ends opened their season by drubbing the Mount Vernon Pros, 27-7, at Muzzy field Sunday before 8 crowd of 1,600.
 O'Keefe kicked of to start the game and fell on the ball in the end zone with several Mount Vernon players looking on and thinking the pigskin would roll out of bounds near the one-yard line. O'Keefe scored again in the second period after 8 pass from Saba to Hugret and long run by Smolenski put the ball near the Mount Vernon goal line.
 Mount vernon's lone tally came on the first play of the last quarter when Somers rushed through tackle after a series of passes thrown by Columbia,s Cliff Montgomery put the Pros within striking distance. The West Ends scored twice more in the final period on runs by Srno- lenski and passes from Saba to Hugret.
