Minnesota Gophers Get
Crack at ''Best Team
Since ROCkne"

Chicago, Nov. 8-tUP)-A brand
OF f1nesSe hardening back to the
days of Knute Rockne and the ever
present "Luck o. the Irish" kept
Notre Dame in the football spot
light today but it will not be ac-
claimed another wonder team" un-
less it can hurtle a vengeful Min
nesota eleven this Saturday.
Midwestern fans already had passed
the 1888 unbeaten Irish eleven one
accolade-they said it was the
greatest team Elmer Layden has de-
veloped = but they withheld their
superlatives until it had been tested
by the might of the Gophers.
Nobody denied that the South
Benders had speed, smartness and
perhaps the best crop of reserves
in the country. Fans have watched
them on succeeding Saturdays play
the same kind of game for which
Rockne teams were famous scoring
from midf1eld, their own 10-yard
line, or from wherever the notion
struck them when scores were
needed. They have watched touch
downs made by the regulars and by
second and third teams.
The reason Minnesota may be the
tarter to upset the Irish is that
Coach Bernie Bierman hasn't for
gotten what happened when his
rampaging Gophers clashed with
the underdog South Blenders last
year. Minnesota was upset then, z
to 6. Saturday the stage setting
will be reversed. Minnesota, beaten
by Northwestern, still has a share
of the Big Ten lead but her ma
tional aspirations are quieted. Sat
urday it will be Layden's men who
are fighting for the mythical blue
ribbon.
Bierman wants this one. Much
of the glory of winning another
conference title will be gone if he
can't beat the Ramblers. On paper,
it's tremendous job and almost
hopeless. MinneSota,s line likely
will be bigger-and slower. The sec
ondary may be too slow to halt
swift-stepping backs like Ben Sheri-
dan, Harry Stevenson, Bob Saggau,
Lou Zontini and flock of others.
On sheer power, Minnesota has the
edge, however.

to play with Louis Police. Mattatuck

Greetings all:


Well, here we are back to bring
you another season of highlightS,
oddities and news of the dear old
N. E. Y. This season we find bet
ter and more comfortable "Y" with
Clayton Brown commencing his
third year as secretary of the "Y."
Before going further let us give Mr..
Brown the credit he. has coming to
him for the advancement the local
branch has made since Brownie, :"
as he is called by all, was sent to
the north end by the central "Y"
in 1885. We can trace the remodel
ing Of our lobby, playrooms, meeting
rooms, gym, shower, locker rooms,
and our alleys, considered among
the best in the city, to the untiring
efforts Of Mr.. Brown and his capable
assistant, Ralph Cooke, "Y" physical
director, and the "Y" board of direc-
tors where the "Y" members have
their say and indirectly run the "Y."
With this already accomplished, the
boys are not stopping now, they
have plans to make the local branch
still bigger and better.
The basketball bug has stung the
"Y" clubs early this season and with
some odd 28 clubs at the "Y" this
year, and the "Y" gym being used
continuously, all dope indicates an
other banner hoop year is in sight.
Another meeting of the "Y"
Senior league managers will be held
Thursday evening at z o'clock and
President Peter Gear" Poletto urges
all team Representatives to be on
time, as important business will be
transacted. Those seeking refereeing
berths are asked to send their ap-
plications in at once. The league,
success last year, has expanded
from 8 to 8 teams this season and
again hopes to be the mid-week at
traction of the north end.
Tomorrow night at $3.50 o'clock
the Polletto All-Stars will stack IN
against the powerful Triangle team
IN a benefit encounter for the "Y"
varsity. The proceeds win be utilized
in Quitting the "Y" varsity squad.
A fast preliminary viii precede the
main go at 7:30 p. m, with the high
" touted Pioneers stacking up
against the Junior All-Stars. The
public Is invited to attend.
The ''Y" varsity squad held its
initial practice at the ''Y" hut Sun
day, under the coaching reins Of
Handsome" Fred Jacovino. Some
odd Is candidates reported. The
prospects for a successful season are

LOCAL TEAM IS
CONFIDENT Of
GOOD SHOWING
Game Set for Friday Night
at Hamilton Park
GridirOn
BY HOLM A. CLuNEY


Waterbury Indies, losers Of but
one game in six starts this season,
are reputedly stepping far out Of
it, class In tackling the Bristol West
Ends, but the game was arranged
through Corporal Coyle post, AM
erican Legion, and will be played
Friday night under lights at Hamil-
ton park, with q crowd Of 5000 as
sured, given good weather.
Pointing out that Bristol, sup
posedly of state championship
calibre looked very mediocre against
the Danbury team, which beat them
twice and held them scoreless in
the bargain, Henry DelPo, manager
of the Indies, sounds OF in the fol-
lowing vein, to wit, and as follows:
Z II know we are supposed to be
soft touch for that great West End
team, but they may very well be in
for the surprise Of their lives when
our Speedball rnail-carrierS Jimmy
Grove and Red Vollone run past
their secondary Friday night. We
will have a line close to 200 pounds
average, with such additions as Hike
DiNapoli at tackle or center; Johnny
Polman, a guard; Anderson, a 220
pound tackle, and Joe Pettine,
1876 FOUNDER in addition to Ohio
Gianelli, Sullivan and Boroway add
ed for backfield duty-all In all,
combination that Is capable Of pull
ing the surprise of the season. The
West Ends, after those two beatings
by Danbury, better be at full
strength and make no mistakes If
they want to stay in the ball game"
Morelli Sought
There, in nutshell, is the local
angle on the Indies chances as ex-
pressed by the club manager. If
the Indies can get Red Moreln Of
the Fairfield Tigers, with chances
good at this writing, the West Ends
will play against one of the finest
backs in the state, who with Jimmy
Grove, the local lad good enough
to be drafted by Fairfield at SIS a
draft, will match anything that
Bristol has including Chick Kauf-
man, Bill Pendergast, Jack Calvin
or others.
Bill Kusaila, the light heavy
weight boxer who Is also quite q
football player too, will see action
with the Indies at a tackle post,
with DiBlasio or Sheehan calling
signals and Frank Mulligan as a
probable backfield starter, with Sulli-
van, a 200 FOUNDER at fullback.
Drill Tonight
Tonight the entire combination is
listed for practice at Hamilton park,
with the boys to be given few new
plays calculated to take care of the
Indies offense to the extent of a
touchdown or two. Coaches Laudisi
and Capozzi to be in charge Of the
workou booked for p. m, at Ham
ilton park.
