SCHNEIDER TO MEET PANTHER;
 MURKUR BILLED
McMillen, Reilly, MilanO on Well.Ba Balanced Meet
 Program Tonight

Variety is probably the spice of life, and when coupled with some top-notch wrestling, ought to pro- vide Q slick evenings entertain ment, notwithstanding the sup- posedly unluclIy clement of Friday the 13thl To that end, Promoter Joe Zonsin, the little man with springs, !, his heels has very ably put together Q card of performers for tonight that should send the customers home completely satis- fled, for the lineup of grapplers in- dicates that there will be Q few dull moments throughout the program.
 Tho only possible bad luck will attend an individual who gets tough with Hans Schneider, who has be- come quite drawin gcard locally for he is now 4n the odd position of having the folks wonder whether he will score fall or knockout, since the advent of his unscheduled tangle with fresh" fan who slapped Schneiders' classic pan with newspaper, calling him out of his name and then heading for the doorway, only to find the burly German behind him and whirling a fist that found It's mark.
 Panther Ready
 Schneider has young, strong and able ex-Springfield college mat man to contend with this evening the first visit to Waterbury of Max the Panther, as he prefers to call himself, so the fans may be sure that the Panther is prepared to put forth his very best efforts to make his initial showing in this city a good one. Extensively, as we say in football. the match looks like one to figure on as @ standout on the five bout card.
 Pat Reilly, the Irish bad man" who has become quite a "villian" of the wrestling world within the past year, has rough, tough and able opponent in Tony Milano, ex- masked marvel" In 30-minute bout that ought to bring out some real entertainment as we'll as some fine mat work. In the semi final bout, James J. McMullen meets up with newcomer named the Masked Terror whose wrestling in Europe Is said to have made him a favor ite with the fans across the water. McMullen, originally from Limerick, Ireland, has wrcstled considerably In mid-western cities for the past year, and has shown to good ad- vantage in his recent appearance in Waterbury.
 FavOrites
 Maurice Leo Cavell, the French Canadian physical culturist tangles with an old faovrite in the person of Dr. Martin Murkur, the South African champion, who made such Q favorable impression among Brass City fans year ago. This bout will be fast and furious while 1t lasts, q 30-minute time limit being scheduled.
 In the opening bout, an un- usually strong man, Joe Noraki of Poland makes his first local show ing against Gentleman George Mezenoff, of Russia. a 20-minule bout that is sure to be interesting ell the way, from then time of their first clutch, about 8:30 o'clock.

MIGHT BASEBALL INTERESTS MORE CLUB OW N FRS
Reds, Cards, and Browns to Play Under Lights
 This Season

Chicago, Nov. 13.--(UP)--Night baseball assumed a definite place today on the 1887 major league schedules, with three clubs--the Reds, Cardinals and Browns-cer- tain to play limited number of games under the arc lights next season.
 The American league, which pre- viously opposed night baseball, fin- ally has given its tentative consent for the Browns to play few night games at St. Louis next season. The American league had to remove it's restrictions against night baseball in order to pave the way for the sale of the St. Louis Browns to a syndicate headed by Donald |. Barnes, president of the Ameri- can Investment company of Illinois.
 Other American league clubs, probably Washington and Philadel- phia, are said to be toying with the idea but may wait another year to see how the experiment turns out in St. Louis.
 The National league voted two years ago to allow night baseball but only the Cincinnati Reds took advantage of the opportunity.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 13--(UP)-As first payment on the debt owe the citizens of this city for the hospi- tality shown me propose to pick the Partners of Pittsburgh to defeat the Cornhuskersof Nebraska when they meet at football in Memorial stadium here Saturday afternoon.
 To the ono hundred million people who haven't followed my career as e gridiron selector this business of picking your host city's athletes to lose might seem a most ungracious act. But the devoted and hardy lit- tie band which knows my reputa- ton as 6 forecaster know that ! could not have done the Nebraska team a higher favor without actu- ally hitting Marshall Goldberg back of the ear with club and snapping the ankle bones of the Pittsburgh guards and tackles.
 What I'm trying to say is that when I pick e team to win its chances are reduced to an absolute minimum. All the opposition has to do to win is to put Il men in q bus and get them on the field in time. And the only reason they need aS many as II Is because the rules in- sist on that number. They don't necessarily need to be actual play CTS. There have been several oc- casions where coach, hearing that I had picked rival to win. didn't even bother to bring players along, but simply recruited side from the first Ii spectators to come through the turnstiles.
 I hope that Doctor Jock Suther- land, the Pittsburgh coach. does not hear of m yselection, for the doctor is a powerful lman, standing six feet two in height and scaling near. ly IS stone, and I know he could wrench my Leonine head from It's accustomed base, and otherwise ham de me in 0 manner calculated tt' lessen my hopes of long If not honorable life.
 If you want to make same money on the game advise you to ignore my selection of Pittsgurgh and wager on Nebraska. for have learned that Coach Dana x. Bible, after great trouble, has persuaded Clarence (Swanny) Swanson to ad.' dress the Cornhuskers in the dres.' ing room, just before they go out to battle.
 Mister Swanson was captain of the 1921 Nebraska team which is the only Nebraska team ever to defeat Pittsburgh. He made his fame as 6 dressing room inspirationalist in 1927 when Pitt and Nebraska re- sumed relations after q six-year break. As the captain of the only team to lick the Partners he was asked to come into the dressing room and fire few fiery words at the boys. He periodically consented.
 T made stirring address," Swan- son told me over frosted vanilla yesterday, "even If say so myself. For nveminutes l pleaded with the players to go out there and do or die for the red and white. When the referee stuck his head in the door and told the team 1t was time to come out, 1t charged through the door and onto the field with the ferocity of caged animals suddenly turned loose.
 Then came the opening kick-off with Nebraska doing the kicking. The ball fell into the arms of Gibby Welch, Pitts great half back. on the five-yard line. Without a hand being touched to him, Gibby ran 95 yards

in the state because in addition to natural speed he possesses elusive ness and high knee action which adds difficulty of stopping him in the open.
 On the defensive he plays safety man. From this position he gets chances to make spectacular runs which open nullify good bunting by the opposite team. If need Do he can drop kick with deadly accu- racy.
 Regardless of scores compiled by these two bitter rivals thub far It is safe to predict that Sundays struggle will be hard-fought, wide open battle with both elevens in the pink of condition.
 The eco boys demonstrated m their encounter with Camp Cross last Sunday that they have struck their stride and are ready ana eager for the gruelling battle with the Partners.
