 HOOP COACH OF CUBS
Nv I. SMITH

The Cubs A. 0. held their first workout of the 1o39-40 basketball season Thursday night at Barnard school gym under the direction of their newly acquired coach, Johnny Thompson. The team was put through an hour and Q half drill in dribbling, passing, foul shooting and long shooting. The squad was split into two teams for the rest of the practice period and a slight scrimmage was held. The teams were as follows: The Blues: right guard, T. Grimm; left guard, R. White; center, H. Doolan; right for. ward, J. Denito; left forward, H. Joyce; the Reds: right guard, J. Smith; left guard, V. Brennan; cen- ter, P. McGrath; left forward, F. Luke; right forward, J. Thompson.

Coach Thompson was well pleased with the showing of the club and has called another practice for next Thursday at 2 o'clock. The Cubs will play their first regular game of the season December 2, with team to be chosen later. All teams ii1- terested in playing the Cubs are asked to contact Jimmy Smith at Il Maple street or phone 3-2433.

FAR WEST GRID RIVALS PAIRED;
 '|RISH' FAVORED
Rose Bowl Test Game on Coast Between U. s. C.
 and 0. s.
BY HARRY FERGUSON Limited Press Sports Editor) .

New York, Nov. 4.-(Up).-Un. beaten teams risk their hopes fol post-season bowl bids against strong opposition on college football fields today.
 The game that means the most to the men who promote the bowl games takes place on the Pacific coast where unbeaten and untied Oregon State comes to an afternoon of reckoning with Southern Cali- fornia. The winner seems almost certain to carry the hopes of the west into the Roee Bowl.
 Oregon State has defeated stan- ford, Idaho, Portland and washing ton State. Southern California has defeated Washington State, Call. fornia and Illinois, and has tied Oregon.
 Kentucky, also unbeaten and un. tied, runs Into the Alabama power- house and -'ill have e hard after noon keeping its record clean. Ten. nessee, leading candidate at present hS tk1S eaSVSEn ESpEeoeAithbAtS AA tAO Rose Bowl, also catches . tartar In Louisiana State.
 North Carolina is the only one of the prospective bow teams in the south that has an easy day-against North Carolina State.
 Tn the midwest, Oklahoma, almost lntested so far, should take care of Iowa State without too much trou- ble. Nebraska, however, has Q heavy afternoons work against Missouri and may be tumbled out of the un- beaten column.
 In the east-Notre Dame and Army top the field in game that means little except from the stand. point of tradition and sentiment. The Yankee stadium probably will be damned to the last sea when these two old-time rivals take the field. Others: Cornell Columbia, Fordham- Rice, Pennsylvania Navy, Princeton Harvard, Syracuse-M -Michi- gan State, Temple-P Pittsburgh, Yale- Dartmouth.

TODAY'S SPORT PARADE
By HENRY McLEMoRE

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Nov. @(UP)--At the risk of being arrested for using the males to defraud, I am going to try my hand today at picking football winners.
 As bad as am almost certain to be I can't be much worse than my colleagues throughout the country. I have 6 memo before me which lists their averages for the season and only one or two of them have a per- centage large enough to make a tele- phone number for @ respectable midget.
 In making my selections on Satur- day show great consideration. All the other fellows go to press with their guesses earlier in the week, thus giving their readers ample time to get misinformed. By the time my readers see this only the fieeter footed will be able to get Q wager down, and there is always the good chance that they will trip and fall and thus be saved from losing their money.
 The system I have for picking winners is comparatively simple. First I call up all the coaches I know collect. They don't answer and so, angered at them, picked the teams that are playing their teams to win. That takes care of about ten or hf- teen games.
 Then, to cool my anger at the coaches who hcave refused to accept the charges for my long distance calls, I jump in a canoe and shoot the St. Lawrence rapides. This gets my mind so completely of football that I am able to make the remain ing selections without passion preju- dice, or knowledge.
 Here are my choices for today and anyone who places bit of faith in them should hurry to his favorite tailor and be fitted for e ouble-breasted, shark-skin straight jacket:
 Southern Gal to beat Oregon State: The score will be 20 to 6.
 Tennessee over L. s. U.; the Bayou boys will get more volunteers than they ever asked for.
 Notre Dame over army: The army team I saw against Columbia few weeks back couldn't even beat Notre Dame at the manual of arms, much less football.
 Rice to lick F'ordham: You can't keep good men down all the time.
 Cornell over Columbia: But not by much. About IA to 6.
 Michigan over Illinois: Like break ing sticks.
 Ohio State over Indiana: This time the Buckeyes won't forget to use the plays that score for them.
 Oklahoma over Iowa State: The sooner the better.
 Minnesota and Northwestern: A 7-7 tie. No make 1t 6-6, think they'll both fail to convert.
 Penn over Navy: A close, hard one.
 Princeton to beat Harvard: two touchdowns.
 Yale over Dartmouth: had a cousin went to Yale.
 Santa Clara to lick Stanford: the score will be IA to 6.
 Georgia Tech over Duke: The high scoring game of the day.
 Alabama over Keentucky: The Tuscaloosa boys are through losing.
 And these others: U. o. L. A. over California; Utah over Colorado; Texas Aggies over Arkansas; Purdue over Iowa; North Carolina over N 0. State; Florida over South Caro- lima; Texas over s. M. D.: Wash- mgton over Montana; Washington State over Oregon.

 The University of Connecticut eleven met Lowell Textile at Storrs, and was given the favorite's position.

 Here For Game

Naugatuck, Nov. A large crowd of loyal supporters of the Naugatuck high school will go to Waterbury this afternoon to see the traditional clash between the Crosby and Nau- gatuck high school football elevens.
 Few fans here really expect @ Garnet victory in view of the poor record of the team this year, but are hoping for one nevertheless.
 The Foleymen have been pointing for this game and will undoubtedly be at their best but their compara- tive inexperience is seen as the prob- able determining factor.

NOTRE DAME AND FORDHAM SLIGHT GAME FAvOR|TES
Army and Rice Squads Ex- pected to Provide Very
 Sturdy Fight

New York, Nov. 4-(UP)-Notre Dame, undefeated in five starts, risks its perfect record against rugged army eleven in Yankee Stad- ium today before a crowd of 75,- 626.
 The Irish" from South Bend, winners of four of their five games by field goals or points after touch- down, were slightly favorites to win the 18th game of the series which started back in 1913 high on the plains of West Point.
 Army, beaten by Yale and tied by Columbia in its major games, plans a wide open game, hoping to win its first decision over Notre Dame since 1881 when they scored a 1920 victory.
 The soldiers have first-class starting team but are shy on re- serves so they hope to keep as many of the starting men as possi- ble in the game for the full 60 minutes.
 The Irish, with enough reserves to field two or three teams, will enter the game without the services of two stars-Kerr and Gallagher who suffered injuries last week against Carnegie Tech that kept them at home. Tn addition, Saggau, Zontini and Harvey are not up to par physically.
 Notre Dame has beaten Army 18 times, been tied twice and lost five times.
