and Drama Departments produc-'
ton of "The Far Of Hills" an event
which has been reported more fully
in other bureaus of this department.
Then tonight at $40, or a reason
able facsimile thereof, the Cross
Roads Theater's Information Com
mittee (of one) wishes to remind
you, Miss Izetta Jewel, jr., makes
her 1910 debut with the group in "A
Woman's a Fool" Miss Jewel is,
you must remember, the young
Broadway actress who returned to
her home town last season to play
biography" Eyes, My Darling
Daughter and THE Curtain Rises"
with considerable success at the
Bailey's Cross Roads (Va) barn
theater.
Possibly more momentous than
Miss Jewels return, however, is to
be the first hint on any stage as to
whether Reginald Allen, the WJSV
announcer, has decided his not in
considerable theater public can bear
the sight of him in shorts, the linen,
not celluloid, kind. Recent reports
have had Mr.. Allen in quandary,
pacing the floor nights, wondering
whether the Allen "gams" have
audience appeal. There are spots in
"A Woman's a Fool" in which Mr..
A. might quite logically appear in
shorts, but the Cross Roads man
agement swears it does not know
what the sartorial decision of Miss
Jewels leading man will prove to be.
The Gross Roads is also mildly ex-
cited about its Elizabeth Winburn,
who plays the second feminine lead.
The management feels certain Miss
Winburn will win audience acco-
ladies', but it also wants audiences to
settle mild argument. The Cross
Roads staff is divided. One school
of thought contends that Miss Win
burn is the Helen Vinson of the
Cross Roads, the other that she is
the Gertrude Lawrence of the Cross
Roads. Ponder that one awhile.

A mill wheel that will revolve,
mounted on wagon" stage, what
ever that might be, is the latest
achievement of Roadside's ingen-
ious technical trio. Messrs. Jones,
Hoist and Miller are running up this
little number for a practically heart
rending moment in "Sweetbrier." or
''The Flower Girl of New York, "
which opens it's two-week run one
week from tonight.
The scene at the old mill is the
big moment in the melodrama.
Sweetbrier, to escape punishment
for murder of which she is in
nocent, leaps into the mill stream
before the Mortified gaze of the on
lockers!

nician who builds the sets and ma
chimes" which Don Jones designs, Is

What Orson Welles' rumbling re-
volving stages were to the National
Theater, Kiddie Kars are to the
Roadside stage.
Betty Brunstetter plays the title
role in the cast which is prepared
to wax melodramatic on and about
the Jones-Holst machines" The
lad who saves her from death and
other better and worse fates will
be Larry Lawrence and the f1end
from whom she is saved will be
Norman Rose, who so ably stepped
into Paul Messink's villain role in

WILEY GR|DDERS

Oppose Commercial To- day; Crosby Awaits
 Greenwich Array
LLOYD LATERAL

Carrying with them the best rec ord of local high school grid teams, Wilby travels to New Haven this af- ternoon for a game with Commer- cial.. The Grove street Wildcats have lost only one game this season while they have won three. They suffered their lone setback at the hands of the state-leading Ansonia team, dropping that game 27-0. An- sonia drubbed Commercial last week 27-6, proving Ansonia is getting weaker or that Commercial is a bit stronger than Wilby.
 Coach Bill Schofield's Old Ivy, smarting from an 8-6 defeat by Leavenworth, fills an open date in their schedule on Saturday. Ar arrangements have been completed for a game at Municipal Stadium with Greenwich. The Blue and White combine have won only one game, a 60 season-opener against Norwalk. They have lost two games and tied once with Central. Greenwich comes to Waterbury with an undefeated record. George Brown, brilliant Crosby back, who scored the only touchdown in the Leavenworth tilt last Saturday, is expected to carry the brunt of this weeks battle.
 Leavenworth's scrappy Tigers play Gilbert high at Winsted Saturday afternoon to fill out this weeks schedule of play for the local high schools. Experts" believe Leaven- worth will suffer let-down against Gilbert after their inspired victory over Crosby, and will probably lose to an unimposing Gilbert team.

HARVARD BOYS CHARGE CORNELL VIOLATES PACT
Asks College Authorities to Cut Subsidized Teams
 From Schedule

Cambridge,y Mass, Oct. 24.-CUP) The Harvard Crimson, under graduate daily, charged today that Cornell had failed to live up to the terms of the tri-president's agreements for simon-pure athletics.
 Tn an article, the, Crimson said that Coach Carl Snavely and "sub- sidization travel hand in hand" (Snavely is head coach of Cornell's undefeataed football team,
 1.-TWO years ago, Cornell signed the tri-president's agreement which specifically condemns the practice of coaches enbarlxing on football proselyting tours," the Crimson said. Harvard has kept that agreement Cornell has not"
 Salesman SnaveIy
 The article, one of series planned by the Crimson on subsidization, said: Carl Snavely is the biggest travelling salesman that ever wore rubber off the tire off an automo- bile. Last year he drove several thousand miles solely in an effort to corral grid talent for Cornell's future teams"
 In an introduction to the series. the Crimson said that subsidized college football teams, no matter how moderate the s ubsidization should be cut from the Harvard schedule. Earlier, two staff writers had charged that Pennsylvania and Cornell were subsidized teams. Cor nell has denied the charges, bu. Pennsylvania declined to comment

Harmon, Reagan Are "Saps,"
 Says Uncle Mike Jacobs

and the year before he was just another competent back among several such backs in the ivory (stet) league. What distinguished him was his bunting. He always could whack the ball for prodigious distances. In this department he definitely has the edge over Harmon. Indeed, he comes close to being the best punter in football.
 This game and the game between Cornell and Ohio State will be in- teresting tests of sectional football. Somehiw we have a feeling that Penn has the tougher assignment. We are going to string along with Harmon as superior to Reagan until the etuns pesent a diffeent pictue. Even against the stongest clubs Hamon has usually managed to break loose at some stage of the game and upset the peanut stand. It will be delightful surprise if Penn is able to stop him cold. No other team has been able to do that this year, especially when he was doing the heavy work on offenSe.

Good evening:
 The Power boys pulled anchor and showed of on their 1940-41 season with heave and 8 ho that leaves lit le doubt that they'll again have a great year. Bon voyage. me lads.
 Scores were good considering that a lot of the arms had been in hook since last season and the creaks could be heard several blocks away. Heavy sales of liniment have been reported.
 If you want the answer on why this league is so successful, here It is. Eighty-eight out of ninety bowl CTS were on hand. This doesn't hap pen only the first night but through the entire season. Some attendance.
 Tom Flanagan, chairman of the league, officially opened the season by rolling the first ball and over the address system wished the teams the best of luck. Then the pins started to fall.
 Guyette and Culhane, BingO.
 Jim Guyette got of to good start with 375 for his three games which was good enough for the weekly prize for the Individual high three string: while Ed "Calhoon" Culhane took high single prize and gave the boys something to shoot at with 157.
 After looking over his Public Re- lationS' team, Charlie Allen believes that his fellows could give the Red Sox boxmen a few pointers on pitching. Dropping three points the Linemen agree with Charlie.
 Ray Mills imported some new tim Der on his Sales Engineers and they look good. So good that they took the high team total prize for the week.
 The next morning Ben Goldstein met Treasurer Ted By and asked him for his prize money. Ted said, Prize money for what?" T rolled 373," said Ben. He got his headache when Ted told him Guyette rolled S75.
