Conference Tomorrow
To Decide on Control
Of Former British Arec

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 14.-Admiral
Thomas c. Hart, United States
Asiatic Fleet commander, arrived
by submarine today from Tsingtao
and Immediately conferred WITH
Col. De Witt Peck of the 4th
U. S. Marines regarding a for
eign defense council meeting to-
morrow at which Col. Peck is ex-
pected to oppose japanese demands
for control of the British sector
in the International Settlement.
Some observers believed the meet
ing might result in compromise
whereby the American marines
would take over certain important
downtown areas from the British,
who are withdrawing their troops
from China, while the japanese
would take over British sectors
north of Soochow Greek and along
extra settlement roads in the So
called "badlands" district.
Marine officials said they were
unable to confirm reports Col. Peck
already had made such a proposal
at a meeting Monday attended by
British and Italian officers and a
French observer.
japanese Take Over Road.
The japanese already have moved
into one extra-settlement road,
where their gendarmes are patrol
ling in front of large gambling
establishment formerly protected by
police of the Japanese-sponsored
Chinese regime.
Admiral Hart was not expected to
attend the meeting of foreign de-
fense chiefs tomorrow.
Previous reports had said he would
attend and preside as the highest
ranking officer in the foreign sector.
but it was explained after his arrival
that his presence would not be in
order inasmuch as he is not reg
ular member of the council.
This means that Rear Admiral
Moriji Takeda, commander Of the
Japanese naval garrison in Shang-
hal, will preside as senior officer.
American Stand Strengthened.
Admiral Hart's presence here
nevertheless was viewed as greatly
strengthening the American stand
on reassignment of the British de-
tense zone, and those who opposed
handing 1t over to the japanese
hoped he might be able to block
such move.
Japanese officials have expressed
hope that the United States might
follow Britain's lead by Withdrawing
the marines now stationed in
Shanghai.
Spokesman for the Japanese
trolled Chinese administration at
Nanking have said they would not
countenance transfer of the British
sector to American troops
British troops withdrew yesterday
from Peiping, leaving that city with
out British forces for the first time
in 40 years. The contingent of two
officers and 80 men went to Tientsin.

Pass Defense Needed for
TOrringtOn-Tech at
Bristol
BY LLOYD LATERAL

Wilby's green-shirted Wildcats roar
down the home stretch of the 1910
grid season this afternoon at NUM-
cipal Stadium in a contest with
pass, pass, and pass-again Torring-
ton team. Wildly, beaten only by
the state-leading Ansonia team in
the early season, has developed an
offensive drive around Powerhouse
Eddie Salvatore that is hard to
STOP. And to further strengthen
their forces, their captain and quar-
terback Dick Alvarez, who was in
Jared in Othe Ansonia tilt, will be
back in the lineup.
The Big Red Of Torrington is
Wanting an almost unstoppable
passing team with Whitley Kunwie-
VIM pitching strikes all over the
gridiron while their opponents try
to figure out whether Sullivan or
Kalinowski will grab the aerial.
Torrington's big victory column
would indicate that the opponents
have figured wrong in the majority
of cases.
Wildly has relied very little on de-
ception and less on a passing at
tack this year, making steady gains
through line smasheS and end
sweeps. 1t seems that who ever
wants to carry the ball needs only
to hang onto the tail of blockers
as they sweep all opposition hori-
zontally. 1t is by far one of the
best lines in many seasons, and
with q brainy backfield going along
with them, they are showing them
selves well.
The gain Of Alvarez in the back
field this afternoon will probably be
offset with the absence of tackle
Tom Gallo and backfieldman Billy
Overton. Gallo has been III and 1t
has been reported that he will not
appear with the Green and White
today. Overton is still nursing a
leg injury and will also be benched.
The contest will start at 2 o'clock.
Officials named for the tilt are al
Kellie, Jerry conklin and Harry
Doherty.
The traditional Naugatuck- Water
bury series will be resumed this aft
ernoon at Recreation Field, Nauga-
tuck when Crosby meets a weak
Garnet and Gray team. When a
Crosby team that has only a slight
record edge over its opponent meets
a Naugy team that has, yet to win
game in a traditional game on
Naugy's home grounds, 1t would take
a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out
the probable outcome.
Leavenworth travels to Bristol in
an attempt to spread their winning
streak and knock the Bell City team
off their high perch. Bristol is
romping through their games with
one of the best teams IN years.

Waterbury Indies
At Bristol, Sunday

/ Duke Delpo's Waterbury Indies
will invade Muzzy field in Bristol
tomorrow afternoon to oppose the
powerful Bristol West Ends in a
crucial Connecticut Semi-Pro Foot
ball league encounter. The opening
kickoff ic carded for 2:15 o'clock.
The Indies must win from the
Ends in order to stay In the run
ming for the league title. The locals
trail the league-leading ALT orring-
ton team by two games while the
Ends are one game in back Of the
New City eleven. The Indies have
one more game with the league
leaders, the contest to be played, In
Torrington next Sunday
A large crowd OF Waterburians
will make the trip to Bristol to
watch the Town Plotters attempt to
take the measure Of the Ends, with
whom they played a scoreless tie
several weeks ago.

Football Miracle"

Naugatuck, Nov. 1.-THE tradi-

and Crosby High football teams will
be played this afternoon at Recrea-
ton field and many local fans be-
lieve 1t will take major miracle
for the Garnet to win.
The Garnet seems headed for its
worst season, with not single vic
toyy in the FIVE games it has played.
The usual rule applies to the game
between these ancient foes, that
you can't take anything for granted,
but it will take at least so per cent
if it hopes to make the score even
improvement in the Garnet's play
close today.
There is no doubt Coach Peter j.
Foley will have his team shoot the

will be sufficient is doubted by

New Haven Nov. "A whooping
band of Indians from Springfield,

Eagles, will collide on the Arena Ice
surface Sunday night IN the first
Sabbath game of the American
Hockey League season of 1940-41
here, The face-off will be at $3.50.
The above teams meet tonight at
Springfield, and no matter what
happens at Springfield this evening,
plenty of action is to be the key
note. Player-coach Earl Robinson
has the Eagles in high gear for this
brace of weekend battles. With
two days of hard practice under
their belts, the locals have shown
marked improvement.
Slight Change.
Only one switch in lines has been
made. Peggy O'Neil will go up to
play right wing on the line with
Don Wilson and Gus Mancuso, with
Marcel Tremblay taking O'Neil's
place alongside of Polly Drouin and
George Mantha.
Springfield, winners of Philadel-
phia and Providence, will be headed
by Eddie Shore, and will show a
lineup with seven former amateur
stars. Rhys Thomson and Frankie
Beisler, two ex-Eagles, will be at
defense berths. The Battle Birds
will be idle until next Saturday
when they engage Philly on the

written to the four officials asking
specifically for their further views.
