Dick Tuckey Called
 An Unheralded Star

best quarterback the National league ever saw. There was some talk that Clark might devote his time to coaching the club this season, but he will be in uniform tonight. He may not be at his best, however, because of an injured ankle.
 The Lions are the most improved team in the league, according to George Halas, president and coach of the Chicago Bears. Pittsburgh with the exception of Paul Me- Donough of Utah at right end, has the same veteran line of last year and White is the only newcomer in the backfield, although the Pirates will be depending largely on recruits for reserve strngth.
 This prelude to the leagues 55- game schedule finds professional football on the verge of It's best season. The more hopeful of the forecasters predict 2,000,000 persons will watch the circuits 10 teams in action, surpassing by 500,000 the record attendance of last year.
 Pro Game Faster
 By methodically culling the col- lege stars year afetr year, the professionals have developed the sport into faster, harder and more thrilling spectacle than It's played by the boys who give their all for ol' Siwash. They have opened the game up with passes and put a premium on kicking by placing the goal posts on the goal line.e
 Majority of the big league players have come from the smaller col- leges and universities because the pro scouts prefer talent to publi- city. The worldl champion Wash- ington Redskins picked up a pair of running backs--Jim Abbott of Elon and Dick Tuckey of Manhat- tan-who seldom got more mention than having their names in the lineups. With prosperity, however, the professionals are picking up more name" players as evidenced by the Pirates acquisition of White. Other headliners to crash the big league this year include Fordham's center with the unpronouncable name, Alexander Wojciechowicz, with Detroit; California's end, Perry Schwartz, with Brooklyn; Purdue's Cecil Isbell with Green Bay: Santa Clara's Nello Falaschi with New York; GonSaga's George Karamatic with Washington and North Caro- lina's Andy Bershak with Detroit.

N|EM|EC HITS \. IN 16TH FRAME ENDING TUSSLE. Former Local Player Aids
 in Beating Johnny
 MOOre's Angels

Al Niemiec, the former local sandlot star, came through with 8 single in the 16th inning to give San Diego a victory over Los An- geles in a Pacific Coast League game last week. There were two down and the sacks were loaded when Niemiec drove out the hit which sent in the only run of the game. Johnny Moore, who is play ing right field for Los Angeles, went hitless in the extra inning tussle. Moore has been hitting the ball hard for the Angels. Niemiec is hitting the cleanup spot for San Diego.
 Richard Rodney" Cummings, who has been waiting for years for the Tribunes to win a City Amateur League pennant, bought a new score book before the Tribes left for the national tournament at Pittsburg. {. Jimmy Little, police depart ment statistician, is still limping from an ankle injury suffered weeks ago when he played with the Wa terbury police against the Torring- ton Bluecoats. Sergt. "Buck' Bagley says that Jimmy should have used his horse.
 The armchair football fans, who spend their Saturday afternoons near the radio, will have their choice of dozens of contests weekly this year. Though official broadcasting schedules are incomplete, 1t is already apparent that this will be the biggest football" year that ra- dio has ever enjoyed. In addition to the intersectional games to be carried on the t>s networks, all the scheduled contess of number of colleges will be broadcast this fail by various networks and individual stations. The Yale games will be aired every Saturday. In addition to the college game broadcasts, the pro games in New York on Sun day will be aired each week.
 Speaking of football, 1t looks like a big year for the New England colleges. Dartmouth at present looks to have the best chance of going through the season undefeat- ed, but Yale will have another strong team. Harvard, Boston Col lege and Holy Cross should also rate highly in this section. In New York state, Cornell and Ford ham should be the leaders. The Rams should rate with the best in the country, for this year Jim Crow ley has plentitude of both backs and linesmen.

TOMMY CARLO
 GETS DRAW IN

Houlihan Is Decision By Ellis; Buff and Negro
 Box to Draw

Tommy Ciarlo, state champion, last night found out that absence does not make the heart grow fond CT. Shelved for weeks while nurs- ing an injured optic the rugged Italian lad returned to the Ran dolph-C -Clewes ring and was held to a draw verdict by Joe Rossi of Nau- gatuck whose unorthodoX style baf- fled him for three rounds.
 Rossi, tough as they make them, kept on top of the champ through out and many believed he deserved the decision of Referee Jiggers Mccarthy of New Haven, although our scorecard had the figures exact ly like McCarthy's.
 Buff Not In Shape
 Frankie Buff experienced plenty of trouble in earning a draw with Herman Badger, New Haven Negro. The local lad tired in the second round and from then on his punch es lacked the pep he usually pro- duces.
 Dula Kovach of Naugatuck drop ped Jimmy Collins, New Haven Me- gro, in 20 seconds of actual fight ing. A stiff right to the whiskers chilled Collins,
 Irish Danny Houlihan of New York lost a close nod to aggressive Bobby Ellis of New Britain in the main go. The Hardware City's lad southpaw style proved troublesome to the subway worker whose famous right was useless last night.
 Satryb Looks Good
 Billy Satryb of Rockville made his debut an impressive one with a clean cut decision over tough Joey Pelowitzer of Windsor Locks who hit the resin on two different oc- casions.
 Other results were as follows. Henry Davis of New Britain deci- stoned Jackie Crimmins of New ark; Bobby Thomas of Shelton comically walloped Charley Backo- fen of Rockville; Lefty Verostak of Shelton scored a T. K. o. over Art Smith of Meriden with only IS sec- onds of the last round remaining; Russ Barnes of Windsor Locks de- feated zeno Handy, New Haven Ne. gro; and Kid Val of Meriden flat tened Al Richards of New Britain in two rounds.
