Connecticut
 College Football
BY UNITED PRESS

A rousing battle for the Connec- ticut Little Three" football cham pionship loomed today between Wes- leyan and Trinity.
 The teams meet at Hartford Oct, 30 and great battle for supremacy was expected because of the excel lent showing both aggregations have made to date.
 Wesleyan continued its victory march Saturday by bouncing upon Connecticut State college for a 17 to 6 victory at Middletown. The home team jumped to a 10 to 0 lead in the first period almost before the Staters could get set, and never was in danger after that.
 Dick Holzer galloped 79 yards to a touchdown on the opening kickoff and took the heart out of the oppo- sition.
 It marked Wesleyan's second vic- tory of the year. The Middletown team beat the U. s. Coast Guard 20 to 0 week ago.
 On the other hand, it was Con- necticuts second trouncing in two Saturdays of play. Brown won last Saturday 21 to 0.
 Trinity came back from Clinton, N. r., with a 25 to 0 victory over Hamilton college in the seasons opener. Steve Truex was the star of this game for the Hartford team, tallying three touchdowns.
 Except for the first quarter, Trin- ity counted in every period.
 Connecticut faced the loss of three veterans for this weeks game against Mass. State. John Search uck, fullback; Bob O'Grady, end; and Herb Peterson, linesman, were injured severely enough in the Wes- leyan from to be out for two weeks.
 Wesleyan plays Bowdoin this Sat- urday while Trinity entertains Wor- cester Tech.
 The Coast Guard academy, re- covering from It's Wesleyan setback. edged Worcester 2 to 6 in a close one at New London Saturday. Arr mold college defeated Lowell Textile, l2 to 6, and the New York Aggies defeated New Britain Teachers col- lege, 6 to o, to complete the states small college football activities.

 STADIUM MARK IS EXPECTED
Powell May Not Play; Me. Crathy's Ankle Twist
 ed; Teams Work Out
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Stan COrrespOndent) New York, Oct. 4.-(uP).-Carj Hubbell has been ofIicially named to start for the Giants and the prics shortened today on the Yankees winning the opening game of the World Series at Yankee stadium Wednesday. ...
 Bill Terry, Giants manager, picked Hubbell and ended rumors that Cliff Melton, the sensational rookie south paw who won 20 games, might draw the first game assignment. Shorter Price
 After Terry'S announcement, Jack Doyle, Broadway pricemaker, read- justed his odds and made the price 7-10 against the Yankees and ll-1O against the Giants for the opener. He had previously quoted l-2 against the Tanks and 7-5 against the Giants. -.
 Manager Joe Mccarthy will name his starting pitcher today. He will pick between Lefty Gomez, who won 2l games, and Red Rufflng, hefty right -hander who scored 20 victories. Gomez, who beat the Giants twice last fall, is favored to get the as- signment over Ruff1ng, who lost once to the Giants and failed to finish the other game.
 Indications are that if the weath. CT is favorable for the opening game at Yankee stadium Wednesday, there will be new World Series at tendance record for one game. Seat- ing capacity of Yankee stadium for World Series games is 7l,303. The largest crowd ever to see Q World Series game is 66,669 at the fourth game last year.
 Hubbell has opened two previous World Series, pitching the Giants to victory over Washington in 1883 and beating the Tanks in last years rain swept opener, 6"1. The Tanks beat Hubbell in the fourth game, 6-2. Tn 16 innings against the Tanks, he has allowed IS hits and 5 runs.
 Probabilities
 Terry is expected to follow up with Melton in the second game and Hal Schumacher, who was knocked out of the box by the Tanks in the sec- ond game last year but won the fifth game, in the third game. Beyond that his plans are uncertain.
 McCarthy's pitching assignments are likely to call for Gomez in the opener, Red Rufflng in the second game, Monte Pearson in the third game and Bump Hadley in the fourth. Then back with Gomez in the fifth. Johnny (Grand Ma Mtir- phy will be on deck to rescue any starter who falters.

Johnny Mccarthy, Giants first baseman, twisted his left ankle. aggravated an old injury, in infield drill before yesterdays game in Brooklyn and was unable to play. But he is expected to be in shape for the series.

Backed by a 43 point scoring thrust, Wilby High schools foot ball squad gets real test this week, when it draws Ansonia High at Hamilton Park Saturday, the team which smeared Torrington 70 to 0 last Saturday. Crosby gets a chance to break into the victory de- partment after two setbacks at the hands of Hartford Bulkeley and Norwich, the latter team winning over the Blue and White Saturday by 13 to 2, when the Schofleld squad goes to Torrington Saturday. Leav- enworth also a two-time loser is due in Middletown Saturday for a third test of the season against Woodrow Wilson.
 Though spotted to first period touchdown against Norwich which has won three straight in as many seasons, Crosby was overcome by Arditivich, who followed Fosters Crosby touchdown with a pair in behalf of the visitors and in addi- ton handled most of the ball-car- rying when the going got @ bit tough. Crosby provided Fostor with god blocking, while Mazzarella help- ed by recovering a Poster tumble on the Norwich SS stripe. Summary:
