Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, Nov. 5.-(UP)-Sheep, which couldn't move fastern than two miles per hour, almost prevented me from gee ting here today to talk to the man who, on Saturday, hopes to move faster than 325 miles per hour.
 It is i25 miles by car from Salt Lake City to these barren salt flats where Captain George F. T.

The sheep, Q naturally overcoated member of a race which has never placed a member in who's who or earned so much as one Phi Beta Kappa key, Is Q privileged thing in Utah. From the attention he re. ceives I am beginning to believe that the ship is the state bird and the state flower of Utah.

BOROUGH FEELS
 CROSBY MUST BE STRONG CHOICE
Game May Be Close With Foster, MargOlis Out;
 Kickoff Tomorrow

Naugatuck, Nov. 5--As the Nauga- tuck high football team made final preparations for It's game tomorrow afternoon with Crosby high in Wa terbury, local fans were wondering why the Naugatuck team should be rated on apparently equal terms by some Waterburians.
 There is no doubt that Crosby would have been heavy favorite at It's full strength and even though 1t may not have the services of It's star back, Charlie Foster and of Joe MargolIs, the borough fans cannot see why Naugatuck should be rated on Q par with Crosby.
 Crosby Better?
 They feel the Garnet will put up Q stiff battle but believe the compara- tive records show that Crosby has been the better team. Naugatuck has won two games, both from teams which were kicked around by other teams in the state, Gilbert and Shelton high, has lost two by wide margins to Middletown aond Derby. although in all fairness except for fumbles at crucial points, the Mid- dletown game might have been a tie. It has one tie game, with stronger and smarter Wilby high team, against which the locals undoubtedly played their best game of the sea- son.
 The Naugatuck attack has been cratic throughout the season and the only backneld member who has starred consistently Is Lefty Far rar. The Naugatuck line has also been inconsistent, at times playing very well and at other times, play ing In spiritless fashion.
 May Go Well
 There is, of course, considerable likelihood that the local team VIII perform at It's best against 1t old and respected rival, Crosby, and If SO, this should make the game close but many Naugatuck fans believe that on the form displayed thus far, despiet Crosby's probable loss of two key-men, that the Waterbury eleven should be q decided favorite.
 Because of the traditional rivalry, many Naugatuckians are planning to attend the contest tomorrow, but If the Garnet should come home with Q tie, most of the local fans will be satisfied.

JACK M'AULIFFE,
 WINNING CHAMP, DECEASED AT 71
Throat AiIment Takes Fla. nous Bare.Knuckle
 Fighter

New York, Nov. 6-(UP)-The body of Jack McAuliRe, last of the bare e-knuckle prize ring champions, lay, In state in Q Broadway funeral parlor today while newsboys, clerks, politicians and sports figures filed past.
 McAuliffe, who retired undefeated from the lightweight throne after c reign of 12 years, died in his home at Forest Hills late yesterday of Q lingering throat ailment. He was 7l,
 His widow, Mrs. Jennie McAu- life, said burial would be Sunday in the Albany Road cemetery, at Albany, N. Y.
 Tn his later years, McAulife was slightly contemptous of present day fighters, but he never lost contact with boxing and other sports. His moon face, with e cigar clamped tightly between his teeth, was sel- dom missing on race days at the New York tracks.
 Born in Cork, Ireland, March 24 1866, McAullffe was brought to this country when he was Ave. He grew up in Brooklyn, and 1t was there that he learned to use his fists. He became the protege of the original Jack Dempsey, "rhe Nonparell, and when Dempsey outgrew the 13S- pound class, he passed his light weight title to McAuliffe.
 At first he was not generally ac- cepted as champion, but Q 2i-round knockout over Canadion champion Harry Gilmore won him world rec- ognition in 1887. Although he retired undefeated in 1902, he held the title until 1896 when he came back to fight Kid Lavigne Q six-round Inc decision bout; and turn over the crown to him.
 McAuliffe was proud of his record of 10 knockouts, 32 decisions and nine draws over the span of years Critics called him one of the great- est fighters of his weight who ever lived. His friends and admirers were from both eras and he delight- ed in recalling the old days for them
 McAuliRe's most famous fight against British champion James Carney In Q Massachusetts barn ended In 0 74-round draw.
 T was taking on awful pasting, ' McAulitfe often related. "A group of gambling gentlemen who had backed mo heavily sent their gang sters into tho ring. A riot ensueel and I made for the nearest exit Tho referee, who was more discreet than daring, called 1t q draw"
 After retiring from the ring, Me- Aullffe devoted most of his life to horses as owner, trainer and fol- lower. In 1884 he ventured into pol tiles, running for state assembly, man, but was defeated,
 His throat began to bother him last year after Q Seige of Illness and he underwent an operation, but he always had trouble speaking afterwards. He was not well enougl, to attend the recent Joe Louis- Tommy FGrr heavyweight title fight, but he followed 1t closely iii the newspapers and was one of the few who predicted FArr would make Q good showing.

Collins Cannot
 See Waterbury AsLeague Farm
BY ERNEST BARCELLA

bx ERNEST bAASCELLA United Press staff COrrespondent) Boston, November 5. - (UP) - Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 Paradoxical as 1t may seem, money is the big reason why General Manager Eddie Collins of the very wealthy Boston Red sox doesn't think revival of minor league base maj lon a farm system basis In southern New England cities would be "practical"..
 "Citles like Hartford, Springfield, Providence, Worcester, Waterbury, Bridgeport, New Britain and New Haven," Collins asserts, demand Q league of "A classification. But they can't begin to support B base- ball, let alone "A. It isn't possible for them to pay their way, ..
 Perhaps farm teams should pay their own way. We wouldn't know. It would seem, how ever, that If even one good player Is developed each year on Q farm, the team automatically would pay for itself. Anyway, the parent organizations wouldn't have to go out and pay exhorbitant sums for prima donnas who turn out to be busts. ...
 The sox c. M. thinks that the only chance for minor league base ball In this section Is "in smaller cities" like Portland and Lewiston, Me-, and Manchester, N. II. =.
 Even "the Boston College Eagle" an official B. 0. Atheletic Associa- ton publication, seems to be rubbing it In on Qil Dohie these days. |. The Eagle" published for the North Carolina State game contained, among other things, Q photograph of Q substitute back dubbed "rhe Forgotten Man.. ...
 An accompany article starts ot' by saying that this backs "swiftness afoot Is being utilized for practice sessions only". Then 1t relates how Hast season Dobie admitted ne was impressed" by the lad'c work and "said he was grooming him for i037". Tho story winds up with this dig: Maybe they are saving him for something or other" .... Which reminds us there Is more to the B. Q. coaching situation than meets the eye. .. The way things shape up now, its ell destined to come out In the wash soon than later. ". Boston will see It's last professional football game of the season Sun- day. . And 1t may be the last pro game here for some time. Local grid fans don't seem tc cot ton to tho professional brand Of football. even though It's going over big in other cities. Anyway, Sunday will be Judgment day when the SharnrockS, Boston entry in the American pro circuit, play an all- star combination. ...
