The gates at the state penitentiary at Wethersfield today changed shut behind John Varanelli and Frank Barrone, who were given prison terms in superior court here yester- day afternoon for living from the earnings of vice. Judge Frederick M. Peasley sentenced Varanelli, after a jury had brought in a verdict of guilty, to from four to eight years in prison, and Barrone, who last week pleaded guilty, to a term of from one to three years.
 The superior court jury which be- gan hearing of testimony in the case last Thursday, was out but half an hour before returning with its ver- dict of guilty in the varanelli case. Tn imposing sentence, Judge Peasley declared that Varanelli was hard- ened offender, and that severe penalty seemed needed in his case. Barrone, the judge said, seemed to be principally a catspaw for Vara- nelli and did not deserve as harsh punishment.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 3.
After watching movies of their
game with Pennsylvania, the
Navy football team went out on
the practice field and polished
up it's rough edges for the game
with Notre Dame at Baltimore

same handicap it had Saturday.
John D. Jiller, the varsity center,
remains in the hospital, where
he is receiving anti-tetanus injec-
tons after cutting his hand.
Jiller is not expected to be
available Saturday. nor will the
second string center, Richard v.
F'ilcher, be sufficiently recovered
from a shoulder injury to play a
full game. This will force Coach
Tom Hamilton to depend on his
third and fourth string centers.

Guckeyson's game leg, hurt
