TEX. CHRISTIAN,
 CARNEGIE TECH AT NEW ORLEANS
Cotton Bowl Plan Falls Apart - Eastern Bowl
 Game Abandoned
(By United Press)


 The lineups for January 'bpwl" football games probably will be conn., pleted today when r1nbeaten, but tied Villanova replies to an invitation to meet Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas.
 Opponents for other post-season saucer tits are:
 Rose Bowl, Pasadena Southern California vs. Duke.
 Sugar Bowl, New Orleans-Te Christian vs. Carnegie Tech.
 Orange Bowl, Miami-Tennessee vs. Oklahoma.
 Sun Bowl, Fl Paso-New Mexico ys. Utah.
 Rev. B. M. Albers, moderator f athletics at Villanova, telegraphed Cotton Bowl officials that their ir1- vitation was being considered and a decision would be reached today.
 The Dallas promoters were some- what uiSmayed when undefeated Texas Christian turned down their own home state classic to play in New Orleans Sugar Bowl. They were lucky enough, however, to have another perfect record eleven in Texas Tech, third largest school in the state.
 Not Yet
 The only other possible uncer- tainty was Utah's appearance at Fl Paso. The big seven conference champions accepted the Sun Bowl invitation subject to the routine ap- proval by the university administra- tion. Villanova got this bid ahead of Utah, but it desired stiffer oppo- sition than New Mexico was cal- culated to furnish.
 Miami may offer the only pair of undefeated, united elevens to face each other in the New Years classics = Tennessee, southeastern conference champion, and Oklaho- ma, Big Six title winner. Their records today are clean but both meet stiff opposition Saturday. Tennessee meets Mississippi and Ok lahoma tackles Washington State.
 Attractive
 The Sugar Bowl affair shapes up as one of the best bowl battles. T. c. U, with a spectacular air att tack and proved ability on the ground, is rated second only to Notre Dame for the mythical national championship. In Carnegie Tech, the Christians will be facing ver- satile team that lost only to Notre Dame, and then only when an off, ciating error robbed the Techmen of chance to punt out of danger.
 Tradition makes the Rose Bowl game the most glamorous, but the two defeats against Southern Cali fornia robs it of some importance. And before the Trojans face the undefeated, united, unscored on Duke Blue Devils, they are expected to drop 8 third decision, this one to Notre Dame Saturday.
 The much talked of eastern bowl, tentatively scheduled for New York December 10. was abandoned yester- day because hard winter arrived in the east ahead of schedule.

North End Senior Eight Team Loop Starts Tonight
By Jim Jannetty

A large opening night crowd is expected to attend the official debut of the 1938-39 North End Y senior basketball league tonight at the Y with the first tussle scheduled tc start at p. m. sharp after the usual curtain-raising ceremonies Pete Toilette, league president, will toss up the first ball and the race will get underway. The league, huge success last season both so- cialy and financially, has been ex- banded from six ot eight squads this year and another close pennant race is anticipated. Included in this years race are the pre-season'S fa- vorites, the Wolves who last year came in second when they were edged out by the championship Pals team in a hectic battle by 26-25 score. The Pals, by the way, are not in the league this year.
 Stronger
 The Wolves have combined forces with the Y Collegians this season and thus have strong starting lineup and also sufficient reserve material which they lacked last season, and this should give them the advantage over the remaining league squads.
 The Y Colonials, newcomers to the loop, have finally mustered up enough courage to meet league com petition. Though the Colonial squad is older and more experienced than the majority of league teams, they will have to hustle to keep up with the younger and more aggressive teams The Y Triangles who fin ished third last year are considered the team to watch this year, as the Ouimet men have height and fair passing attack.
 Shifted
 Joe \Rinaldi, star guard of last years champs, the Pals, has signed up with the Red and White squad and should give them the scoring punch which is lacking in an other wise strong quintet. The Trojans, Cadets, Viglianese, Spartans and Tigers round out the loop. The Tigers are considerably fortified with the additin of Pete Toilette and Bub Gunshanan. two more members of the disbanded Pal squad. All in all, the north end fans are in for another grand season of basketball at the Y. Henry Jacovino will off ciate tonight's game.

K. OF L. CLUB IN.
 GAME SATURDAY.
Pawtucket, R. l., TOwnies Open Home Season at
 St. JOseph's Hall

Harry Huey's K. of L. cagerS pry the lid off their home season Sat- urday night at St. Joseph's hall with the Pawtucket, R. I. Townies helping out.
 Although the teams met twice last year with the Liths winning both contests, fans were rewarded with two of the years widest scoring battles, the Knights winning out by 69-66 and 72-58 tallies.
 Charlie Swanson, standout New England tennist and perhaps the best shot on the team, will be at forward post with Alex BlociSk Dusty league star last year. Ken Kennedy, Brown captain foul years ago and twice named all-New Eng land center, will be at the pivot post.
 Wilson Farley and Al Showaniec, the latter an all-state performer at Central Falls high last year, vii be at the guard berths.
 StandOut
 An outstanding addition to the squad is Eddie Plociak, who won all- New England laurels while playing guard for Pawtucket high in last seasons tourney at Providence. Paw tucket bowed to Manchester in the finals, but the work of Plociak won the praise of experts as the most outstanding individual effort of the meet.
 As for the Liths, Coach Harry Huey sent them through a stiff workout last night and hopes to see them bound into the victory column for the first time in three starts.
 The starting lineup will be picked from Joe Boey, Frank Saldukas, FL ton Wilmot, Joe Joyce, Ed Murphy, Stan Grey, Fred Sullivan, John Stollar and Nick Hudobenko.

ThomastOn Sports
BY JACK WATERS

Frank Keaney made his debut as a basketball coach last Friday night when the local hoopsters doWned New Milford 29 to 15. Neither team resembled those of last year, in which the two schools played for the coming season are still unknown as New Milford merely went through the motions and was completely outclassed. While the game offered little in the way of excitement, it did uncover a fine shooter in the person of Nest, who was playing his first game for the locals, although a sen for. We can imagine Mandy Green saying to himself, as he watched the play of this newcomer, Where have you been all my life?" This Friday Thomaston will play host to South Windsor.
 Progress on the new athletic field seems to be in a dormant state at present. It's amazing how interest in something's can wane so rapidly. -. Local followers of Notre Dame (and there are plenty of them are very pleased to see Ed Longhi of ToRrington finally getting All- America recognition. After watching the lowly New Haven Eagles drop one to the Philadelphia Ramblers at the Arena recently be- fore 4,000 customers, we got to won dering where they would put the crowd if they had winning team. The Eagles displayed a fairly good front line but their defense leaks as badly as one of Frank Keaneys inf1eIds. The Mems League is completing plans for the formation of a basketball team. William Schofield, who is becominf quite well-known in town, referred the high school basketball game last Friday and turned in his usual good job. Chris Martin is just getting back to normal since the McC Collough twins ended their recent visit. Bren- da Frazier herself couldn't have caused more confusion. Chris re- covered long enough to announce that Notre Dame would wind up its season by beating Southern Califor- mia. .. We wonder how Ed O'Brien made out on that bet he had with Mickey Fill. ;. Harry Lynch is slated to handle the town basket ball team. It seems Thomaston has had a football team all season but no one knew about it until Francis Michael Donovan started giving the boys some publicity. Frank Keaney announces that he has sent his string of race horses south for the winter. Ray O'Brien, one of the East Main Street O'Briens, is working off some excess poundage by taking daily skiing les sons from Ed Doyle. The high school basketball team has two promising youngsters in Jillson and Terill.

By the Associated Press.

HANKOW, Oct. l0.-Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek's headquarters an
nounced today that two full japanese
brigades, totaling 10000 men, had
been annihilated in a three-day battle
near Teian, 1870 miles southeast of
Hankow.
The official announcement described
the engagement as the most complete
and overwhelming Chinese victory of
of the war and said only 200 men OF
the two brigades left the battlefield
alive.
The reported victory came on the
event Of the 9th anniversary OF the
resolution against the Manchu mon
archy and the news was wirelessed to
Chinese troops on all fronts in time
for today's nationwide celebration Of
Chinese Independence Day.
The Generalissimo's brief announce
ment stated that . Chinese counter
offensive last night drove the Japa-
nese from Tigers Point" highlands,
northwest Of Teian on the Kiukiang-
Nancnang Railway, and then sur
rounded and annihilated two brigades.
One brigade each from the 10lst and
the 106th Divisions was said to have
been wiped out. The communique
said that this morning the battlefield
was Uttered with thousands of Japa-
nese corpses, dead horses, and huge
quantities of munitions, supplies and
heavy equipment.
A Chinese Army spokesman said the
Tigers Point victory" would effec-
lively check the japanese Southern
Yangtze campaign, particularly the
Japanese drives toward Nanchang
and westward toward the Canton
Hankow Railway

H|CHCOURTH HOLDS
DIRECTORS LIABLE
|NPARH BANK CASE
Decision Is Affirmed on
Deposits Made Before
Charter Expired.
HIGH COURT REFUSES
TO REVIEW OPINION
Argument of Good Faith by
Continuing in Business
Presented in Vain.

The liability of District Court Justice
Joseph w. Cox and other directors of
the defunct Park Savings Bank for
deposits made before expiration of the
banks charter was affirmed today by
the Supreme Court.
The ruling came in the form Of a
refusal to review decision Of the
local Court of Appeals that the direc-
tors were obligated to account to the
depositors as Of August 80, 1929, the
date the charter expired.
The lower court had held that the
directors were not liable for deposits
after the expiration date.
The bank was closed when it was
found to be insolvent after its vice
president and cashier, Robert Stunz,
killed himself following misappropria-
ton by him of huge sum of money
from the bank
Claimed Good Faith.
The directors had denied liability
on the theory that they, acting in
good faith, had continued to do a
banking business after expiration Of
the charter. The court held, how
ever, that they, as matter of law.
became liquidating trustees when the
charter expired, and as such, were
responsible for the funds then in the
bank.
Relief was denied those making de-
posits after the expiration date on the
theory they should have known the
charter had expired and were the
victims of their own negligence in
failing to ascertain that fact.
1t was estimated unofficially that
the amount for which the directors are
liable under the court decision is
something less than 100000. The
exact amount probably will be deter.
mined by the auditor Of the lower court.
Litigation Pending Five Years.
In working out the details of the
audit, it is understood that one factor
to be taken into consideration will be
whether the depositors withdrew any Of
their money after the expiration date
of the charter, November 80, 1929.
Their net claims will be computed.
Litigation has been pending in this
case for about five years. The Park
Savings Bank closed in March, 1888,
during the bank holiday. The building
since has been torn down to make way
for gasoline station.
Other Court Actions.
In other actions the high tribunal
refused to interfere with the con-
victions of Charles lucky Luciano
and five others sentenced to long
prison terms as members of a New
York City vice ring
Agreed to review q decision by the
Western Missouri Federal District
Court ordering the return of $780,
600 to commission men at the Kansas
. City stockyards. A stay of the lower
court decision was granted pending
final decision.
Douglas Fairbanks. former motion
picture star and producer, failed to
obtain a review of lower court de-
cision that he should pay the Fed
eral Government $72,185 additional
income tax for 1927, 1928 and 1929.
