PITTS HORNETS

New Haven, November 8. - Already stamped as one of the best defensive clubs in the American League, the New Haven Eagles have been working on offense all week in preparation for their game with the Pittsburgh Hornets on the Arena ice Sunday night, and 8 skirmish with Philadelphia on the latter's rink Saturday night.
 The New Haven defense of Jack Cain working with Wifi Hoch, and Allan Shields paired with Vic Myles, has shown up fine in three games played to date. Phil Stein. Eagle goalie has already grabed himself shutout.
 Playing Coach Earl Robinson has been drilling his three lines on pawer plays all week, and the Hor- nets should be met with dazzling attack on Sunday night.
 Larry Aurie has the Pitt outfit stepping along now, and they turned on the power Wednesday night to gain 6 4-4 deadlock with Philly, after trailing in the first two periods. Art Lesieur, former Providence defenseman, will be seen in a Hornet uniform on Sun- day night.

Connecticut's College Schedule
By United Press)

A hard-riding and undefeated| Cornell team meets Yale in the Bowl at New Haven Saturday tol provide the top-ranking game among the Connecticut elevens.
 The consensus is that the con- test will provide Cornell with an- other rung in the ladder toward eastern supremacy. No one, at any odds, comedies chance for Yale, which has won but one game this season and which heads into it's Big Three series week hence against Princeton and Harvard.
 To replace heavy varsity casual ties has brought up four players from the Jayvees for possible call to vital posts. Two of the Blue cripples, tackle Jack Magee and back Bud Talbott, were beleived im- proved enough to star the game. Ray Anderson, regular quarterback: Bill Bell and Henry Ellis, backs, and Jack Reid, end, were considered as imperative tomorrow.

 Trinity and Amherst hold their 40th meeting in the Little Three series at Hartford in what may be close game.
 Wesleyan journeys to Williamsport, Mass, with doubts of coming home a victor.

Brown Will Show
 Up Real Status Of Army Squad
By TOM NOONAN United Press Staff Correspondent

Boston, Nov. 8-(UP)--Riding the crest of a six-game win streak, Bos- ton college polishes off Boston uni versity tomorrow in a final tuneup for next weeks crucial clash with undefeated Georgetown.
 The unbeaten Eagles. highest -scor- ing leven in the nation with 240 points, plan to unleash their vaunted passing attack for the first time in four games against Boston univer- sity. Weak opposition and rain have kept Boston college on the ground. Chuckin' Charlie O'Rourke, the casts top touchdown passer last sea- son, and Sophomore Mickey Connolly will do the pitching
 Boston college, ranked second in rushing and fourth in total offense among the colleges of the country, should whip the Terriers by at least four touchdowns though Boston uni versity usually plays inspired foot ball in this local rivalry. The Eagles will be at full strength for the fray which may develop into passing du el as B. U. has two better-than- average hurlers.
 Red Vs. Blue
 In other major New England games, powerhouSe Cornell opposes down -trodden Yale at New Haven, Conn, and mighty Mississippi faces declining Holy Cross at Worcester The three remaining big teams from this area-Harvard, Dartmouth and Brown-all play road game.
 Cornell, rated the nations No. l team by most experts, should score at will against a Yale eleven that only has defeated Dartmouth in five starts. The Big Red squad has ground out the amazing average ot 429 yards per game.
 Paced by its great backs Merle Hapes aond Junie Hovious, Missis- sippi rules a heavy favorite to whip injury -riddled Holy Cross. The Southerners boast a record of six wins and one-point loss while Holy Cross has broken even in the first six games of its stiff schedule. Coach Joe Sheeketski has revised his line and juggled his backs in an effort to bring Holy Cross out of the dol drums. Mississippi reportedly has the fastest backfield in the south.
 Army Improved?
 Brown, currently second ranking in New England with five triumphs and a lone defeat, travels to West Point to oppose Army, a single touchdown loser to Notre Dame last week. The principal question is whether Army has improved or merely played above its head against the potent Irish. The cadets are fa- vored but Browns batch of classy backs are a good shortend bet to turn the tide.
 Improved Dartmouth must stop the passing of Dave Alyerdice if it hopes to continue its surge against Princeton.
 Hard-luck Harvard probably will be still without major win after meeting offensive-minded Pennsyl- vania at Philadelphia.

TODAY'S SPORT PARADE
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

NOhAtGu AVSS 0b@h SUAASoPVhuShNI
 Dallas, Nov. g. (UP) - You've heard the ol' saying about how men are men in Texas.
 Well, it's not true: don't let those cowboy songs convince you 1t is, Forget the roundups and the ranches an alike a little dogle get along to the record.
 The biggest men in Texas, the most he-minnish men, play football. They play for SMU, TCU, Arkansas, Baylor, the Texas Aggies, Rice and Texas. Yet, since the southwest con- ference was organized in 179l4, no school has been able to gather to- gether enough men to win two cham pionships in row.
 It Is easy to win once, but the bushes of repeating is too much even for the double breasted, double chested men of the Lone Star state.
 That is why in Dallas today the Southern Methodist Mustangs are being given a very sound chance of beating the Texas Aggies tomorrow
 The Aggies are national cham pions. They have won l7 straight games against all opposition. They have won nine straight conference victories. They are sparked by a man who is considered to be one of the fnest-if not the finest--foot- ball players in the country; namely, John Kimbrough.
 SMU is just another squad in the national football picture. True, the Mustangs have not been beaten, but they were tied by Pittsburgh, which everyone admitted was mediocre ball club, even before they were beaten by Fordham which was beaten by a sickly St. Mary's.
 The country may have thrown over the thnrd-term precedent, but in Texas the second-term precedent still is strong.
 Down here they just can't believe that the Aggies will do something that never has been done before. Perhaps I should explain that the Aggies will not automatically win the southwest conference cham pionship if the yare victorious to- morrow. They still will have Texas and Rice to hurdle, but those who have seen Rice and Texas play say that a one-legged man carrying the Quen Mary's anchor could clear them with fathoms to spare.
 Now, for a moment, let us get analytical. Every child knows what the Aggies have, so let us discuss what SNIU has to throw against these monsters from a place called Col lege Station.
 To start with, they have Madison (Matty) Bell a man who even as he moans his troubles. works on a defense that puts leg-irons on you.
 Tn the backfield, he has. among others, one Presto Johnston, a good runner, a fair passer and a great kicker. He was the boy who booted one 92 yards against Pitt.
 At the passing station, Matty has the best pair of passers in the United States. No other team can produce a combination such as John ny Clement and Ray Mallouf.
 Matty's blocking back, Will Null lenweg, neds only i2 more pounds of weight to be as good a blocker as the Aegies' Thomas0n. and in Bobby Brown at quarter, Bell has q smarter boy than the Aggles Pugh, even if he can't pass as well
 SMu has no line, and it doesn't have a man on it that yonll ever see on this years All-America.
 So. you see. the Aggies should Dc a definite favorite. But today ia pal- las you only have to turn around to Ind SMu money.
 Real money, too.

against West Virginia this season and repeated the performance against Temple. In the first four games, he lugged the leather 72 times gained 344 yards for an average of 4.8.
 There are other capable backs on the Penn State runner, Peters also is an elusive runner. Big Bill Smaltz is a hard-hitting fullback Johnny Patrick calls signals from the blocking position.
 But Penn State fans with long memories compare Petrella's eX- ploits with those of Charley Way another Nittany dynamite who made Walter Camps All-America team of 1920.
 Oddly enough, both Pepper Pc. trella and Charley Way reside al Downingtown, Pa.

FOOTBALL ISSUE TO BE SETTLED
 ON WEST COAST
Minnesota and Michigan, Perfect Record Teams
 Also Clash
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff Corresp0ndent)
 New York, Nov. 8-(UP)-Twelve major football teams put their per- feet records on the block this week. end and at least one is bound to get the axe, while three others have no better than even chance of re- remaining undefeated and united.
 The certain casualty will come in the Minnesota Michigan battle for the little Brwon jug at Minneapolis only game in the nation sending a pair of perfect record teams against each other. Stanford, Lafayette and Franklin and Marshall are the three clubs given no better than 8 50-50 chance of remaining in the select circle. Of the seven favorites, Notre Dame, Texas Aggies and Penn State seem to have the tougher assign ments while Cornell, Boston College, Georgetown and Tennessee should return their unblemished records withundue trouble.
 Tommy Harmon makes Michigan the choice over Minnesota and news that Forrest Evashevski, the Vol verines great blocking back and signal caller, will be back in the lineup should increase the odds against the gophers. This traditional battle is more than a fight for the little brown jub. Western conference and national honors also are at stake.
 Stanford vs Washington
 The big game of the Pacific Coast sends Stanford, last of the far vest ern undefeated and united clubs, against Washington, beaten only by Minnesota in a kane that most likely will decide the conference title and the western defender of the Rose Bowl championship.
 Stepping up the caliber of its schedule this year, little Franklin and Marshall may catch tartar in New York University, fair team that has lost five in a row and is acheing for chance to redeem it. self. Trouble also is seen for Lafay- cite, conqueror of N. Y. U.. and Army, in its tilt with Rutgers eleven that has bowed only tc | Princeton.
 You have to stick with Notre Dame over Navy, but the Irish's squeaky 70 victory over a weak Army team last week, might be indicative. oi an upset in the making. The middies are judged much stronger than the eleven from West Point and have the same ability to reach the inspir. ational heights that snubbed the Notre Dame machine last week.
 Texas Aggies have no breeze ir Southern Methodist, @ team tied only by Pittsburgh and still undefeated ana Penn State usually finds the going rough against Syracuse, 6 team beaten three times but by nc less powers than Northwestern Cornell and Georgetown.
 The four highly favored perfect record teams are Cornell over Yale Tennessee over Southwestern, Bos. ton College over Boston U. anc Georgetown over Maryland.
