Uconns On Edge For Rhode Island Rams Saturday

Storrs, Conn, Nov. 6.-The Uni- versity of Connecticut Huskies and the Rhode Island Rams renew their forty-three year old grid rivalry at Storrs Saturday afternoon at 200 o'clock as a feature of the Annual Nutmeg Alumni Homecoming Day. The Connecticut squad emerged in fine physical shape from its bruis- ing game with Rutgers and will be after its fifth and most important win of the season.
 The coming battle shapes up as one which will pack all of the thrills and wide open play seen in 1888 when the Rams won 2i-20 and in 1889 when the UConns took the laurels 20-l4.
 Ten Connecticut seniors will be making their last home appearance on the gridiron. Tn this group are Co-Captains Bob Donnelly and Stan Papanos, Ed Waltman, Charlie Hor- vath, Fred Mitchell Bob Matheson, Bill Booth, Joe WozenSki Ken Brundage and Erling Blackwell.
 DIX FIne bhCkSs
 Shaping up as a feature of this contest will be the scoring battle between six of New England's finest backs, Donneliy, Waltman and Mitchell of Connecticut and Kean- ey, Abruzzi and Cont of Rhode Isl- and. That is, If Waltman is recov- cred sufficiently from an ailment that has kept him benched for the past two weeks. Charlie Horvath will hold Waltman's post If the lat ter is unable to start.
 Coach Christian this week has concentrated on bolstering the back er-up and tackle play, major weak spots in the joss to Rutgers. The Huskies' aerial game brought all their yardage against the Rutgers crew with Donnelly and Mitchell tossing, and will be counted on heavily agains. Rhody, and Horvath also can arrow the pigskin accurate ly. Moe" Paine and Win" Cuddy, ends, and Toffolon, Mohr and Walt man, backs, are the principal re- ceivers. A capacity turnout of 5000 is expected for the fray.
 In. the traditional series Rhode Island has won sixteen and Connec- ticut twelve while five have been tie games. The Huskies, however, hold the edge in total points scored, having amassed 396 to 375 for Rhody. The Storrs squad is out to win this one sor Coach J. O. Chris tian since 1t will be the rubber" game for him. Since he took over in 1884, his clubs have won three and dropped three.

GREENBURG 6 IS
 CHOSEN AGAIN
 MOST VALUABLE
Detroit Star Hit $40 In New Position - Teller,
 DiMaggiO Next
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY United Press Stan Correspondent)

| \Ombeu EEebS Stan NUEECopVnuSMH
 New York, Nov. 6 = (UP) - The baseball writers today confirm ed what everyone in the trade al- ready recognized as known fact that Hank Greenberg was the guy who made the Detroit Tigers go.
 Greenberg, who risked his career by shifting from first base to left field for the good of the Tigers, was named the most valuable player in the American League for the sec- ond time by a committee of 24 base- ball writers, three from each of the eight cities in the circuit. Driving in 150 runs and cracking out fl home runs, Greenberg led the league in both those departments. He batted $40, highest mark of his career.
 Easy Winner
 The big Tigers slugger, who first won the most valuable player award in 1935, repeated this year with 2o2 Bob Teller, who won 27 games for the Cleveland Indians, was sec- ond with 222 points. Joe DiMaggto Yankees center fielder who won the award in 1889, was third with 15l points, Buck Newsorn, Tigers pitch ing ace who won 21 games, came fourth with l20 points, nosing out Lou Boudreau, Cleveland's brilliant young shortstop, by one point.
 Anyone who could have predicted last winter that Greenberg would be crowned the most valuable play CT in his league at the end of the i940 season would have been ridt- culed. Things were far from bright for the tall, lanky Bronx Boy when the Tigers front office called him to Detroit for a chat. The Detroit ofti- cials offered Greenberg his choice of taking a sharp salary slash or shift ing from first base to the outfield in order to make a place for the misftt Rudy York.
 Made Good
 After playing first base for seven years and establishing himself as Q star at that position, Greenberg had a tough decision to make. York had failed as an outfielder, @ third baseman and a catcher and 1t was either one of two things, play him at first or trade him. Greenberg agreed to make the switch and no player in Florida worked longer or more earnestly than did Hank to learn how to play his new position. He not only developed himself into good outfielder but he did so with- out allowing his batting to suffer.
 The only kick Greenberg has over the shift is the fact that he gets being in the middle of all those lonesome out in the outfield. After conferences for seven years" Hank says, T kind of wish could be back up there hearing what the short- stops saying to the pitcher and what the catcher is telling the third base"

20O-Mile Ditch
Trap for Tanks
New French Defense Extends
From Maginot Line to
English Channel.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY
The French army has dug a 200
mile anti-tank ditch along the Bel
gian border from Luxembourg to the
English channel as part of an eX-
tension of the Maginot line. 1t was
completed far ahead of schedule.
The ditch follows the Belgian Dor
der and is supported by gun case
ments, thick beds of barbed wire,
and a parallel system of anti-tank
rails. The defense line replaces an
Ineffective system of forts smashed
by German armies in 1914. Decl-
sion to fortify the zone was made
after March 7, 1886, when Hitler
denounced the Locarno treaty and
ordered his troops to occupy the
Rhineland
Series of Forts Built.
The French first constructed a
series of forts between the Moselle
river and the channel. The forts
were completed and occupied be-
fore the war began in September.
The anti-tank ditch, wide as a
canal. was projected when France
recognized the potential threat of
German invasion of Belgium and
Holland, and the entire system was
completed in two years.
Regardless of the variety of the
terrain Of the south Belgian border,
the system is good example of
fortifcation in all sectors. 1t con-
sists of deeply dug advanced ma
chine-gun nests, followed by "pre-
liminary resistance" line of re-
inforced concrete pillboXes armed
with machine guns and anti-tank
guns. AS in the Maginot line sys-
tenn, advanced posts constitute sig
mailing points to warn of enemy adj
vance.
Hold Them Up, Then Retreat.
After fulfilling their mission of
holding up the vanguard, advance
post troops fall back upon the pre-
liminary resistance" line. This
lines chief feature is the anti-tank
ditch backed by pillboxes and case
mates, protected by a thick under
brush of barbed wire The profu-
sion of these classmates surprised
correspondents who had expected
line of forts at fairly distant inter-
walls.
The chief advantage, in addition
to the obvious difficulty of crashing
through the system, is the economy
of manpoWer. The depth Of the de-
fensive system reduces the number
of infantry combat trenches, a
revolutionary development since the
World war, and does not require
large masses of infantry to hold
exposed positions. These positions
now are protected by Wcll-placed
machine gun nests which cover i'm
portant tactical fields Of fire.
