Former N. Y. Jewels to Play Weekly at Arena;
 Meet VisitatiOns First

The Jewels have won two and lost one on the road and are now perched in second place.
 Connecticut is regarded as fer. tile territory for the rough, speedy and spectacular game the pros play; and If the game catches on with the fans in New Haven, 1t is quite probable that at least another state city may be added to the seven- team loop.
 Gerson Traded
 Edward D. Bud" Farmer, former star center at Indiana stepped into the New Haven picture this week by buying the Jewel franchise lock, stock and barrel. Farmer is Q young man and his first step was to trade Rip Gerson, one of the veterans, to the Visitations.
 I'm going to have 6 winning team" Farmer said. And win ming team is generally young team"
 The Jewels will open with the same line-up which copped the worlds title two years ago, lacking but one of the original team. Willie Rubenstein, captain of N. Y. us famous 28-straight team, and Rusty Saunders will play the forwards. Matty Degovich, the classiest drib- bier in pro basketball, will jump center. Lou Spindall and Mac Kins- brunner will be at the guard posts.
 In order to accommodate state fans, the Jewels Visitation game will begin promptly at 8;45. Jake's West Haven Red Devils, greater New Haven champs, ill play the reor- ganized St. Mary's, city champions, in the second attraction.

San Francisco, Nov. l9-(UP0-- Those two outstanding character istics of Californians-co conservatism and modesty-were in grave danger today, all because of II young men who each Saturday afternoon dur. ing the fall months disport theIIl- selves at football.
 One could walk down San Fran cisco's streets today and hear citi- zens who formerly summed super latives like a chicken does corn using such words as "superb-col- ossal - invincible - tremendous - and invincible." Even the news papers, usually given to under statement in describing anything Californian, came right out and employed many of the usually taboo superlatives.
 To visitor who, since childhood, has heard of this states famed rec ticence in discussing its own glories, 1t was as unbelievable a would be the sight of a suspender salesman In a nudist camp, or the sphinx de- livering @ baccalaureate sermon.
 Yet this University of California football team which plays Stanford at Palo Alto tomorrow really has broken down the deep reserve of the native sons. This Is an extraordinary thing, when you stop to remember that for years the citizens of this state have refused to brag about the sunshine, the scenic glories, the redwood trees, Hollywood, or any, thing else.
 But now-when the California team is mentioned-all Is abandon. superlatives fly thicker than the Gulls about the harbor. And when anyone mentions the great engin. eering feat he doesn't mean the ac- complishment of the man who spanned the bay with the mighty bridge, but rather the work of Coach Stub Allison In fashioning Q team that can't be beaten.

 Although the exact number Of teams to be entered in the public school league is not known at pres ent, Principal Gilmartin expects that there will be large enough number of applications for member ship to warrant two leagues being formed. The lack of interest In the grammar school games of late years has been attributed to the fact that the teams were scheduled for Saturday mornings.
