Wesleyan, Williams
 Clash Saturday

Middletown, Conn, Nov. 6.-Play- ing their 18th game in a series that started in 1881, Wesleyan and Will Hams clash this coming Saturday on Weston Field at Williamstown in the Cardinals final tit for the Lit- tie Three football crown, having Al- ready defeated Amherst 14-6.
 Although rated as the underdog on the basis of the records of both teams to date, Coach Blott's charges may topple the Ephmen in a sur prise upset on the pattern of the Amherst game. Little Three con- tests are always unpredictable. Then, too, the Cardinals will be playing their last Little Three game for Jack Blott, who retires at the end of the season. A win Saturday will mean two consecutive Little Three championship teams in Blott's last two years at Wesleyan.
 Kay tO Play.
 Another factor in Wesleyan's fa- yor is the expected return of Stan Kay, pass receiver and trouble maker. to hsi post at guard. His return will greatly bolster a line which almost folded up in the Coast Guard game last week. 6erappy Armand Capadaqua Is also expected to return t0 the baeklleld.
 The Wesleyan line-up then will probably be as follows: Ends, Kay and cagney: tackles. Capt. Leekie and Hayward; guards, Stuart and VanderClute: center, Raymond; backs, Carrier. Hussong, Maekelean and Moore.
 Indicative of the Little Three spirit which this game brings forth Is the Wesleyan Jamb0ree planned after the game at the 1906 House in Wllllamsi0wn. Wesleyan heads quarters for students faculty lnem. berk, and grads expected % attend the game, . dance week end feature for Williams,

 FOEFOR LOUIS
BellOise to Get Another Chance to Win Middle
 Crown From OverIin
By JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Nov. 7-(UP)-Joe Louis will defend the world heavy weight title against Al Mccoy at the Boston Garden Dec. 16,
 This engagement was one of the two title brawls announced yester- day by Promoter Mike Jacobs. The other brings together Middleweight Champion Ken Overlin and young Steve Belloise at New York's Madi- son Square Garden Dec. 13. This is a return engagement.
 Jacobs said he is extending his wings over the nations rings and that he will announce next week two important bouts for Detroit and one for Chicago.
 Tune-Up
 There is suspicion that Louis is being considered for one of the De- troit engagements, and that he is being given a tune-up against Me- Coy at Boston. It is recalled that Mccoy was licked by Billy Conn, the light heavyweight champion, in a l0-round non-title scrap Oct. IS. But Promoter Rip Valenti of Boston points out that Mccoy would have taken the decision from Conn-4n any other state except Massachu- setts.' Valenti recalls that Mccoy won three rounds, and that he should have taken three more on Conn's low blows, except for the fact that no rounds are taken away for low blows in Massachusetts.
 According to valenti, Mccoy should have won the decision six rounds to four, and since the pub- lie is considering Billy Conn as prospective challenger for Louis in June, Conn's "conqueror' should be considered a serious Louis opponent.
 SellOut?
 Valenti assures that this Louis- Mccoy tilt will sell out the Boston Garden because CD It is the first heavyweight title fight staged in Boston; @ Louis will be making his first appearance in the Hub Ciy, and (3 Because Mccoy, the New England heavyweight cham. pion, is popular with Boston Fans.
 Meanwhile, surveying the return title match between Champion Overlin and young Steve Belloise Dec. l3, 1t should be emphasized that Belloise probably will be the betting favorite this time, although he entered the ring Nov. the 2-l underdog. It should be recalled that Belloise almost kayoed the champ in the sixth round and had him in serious trouble twice after that. Overlin won the decision that night by a narrow margin, but the fans booed the decision for five minutes.

Ghost Basketball At Watertown Gym On November %

Watertown, November '. If you are on the verge of a nervous breakdown, subject to fainting spells, have a bad heart or have a horror of ghosts and darkneSs you had better have a courageous male escort accompany you to the Ghost Basketball" game at Watertown High school gym, Friday evening, November 29.
 You have been told countless ghost tales and have read numer- ous ghost stories, but when the Watertown Fire Department plays the Oakville All-Stars here that evening, no ghost writer will be tell ing or writing this story. You will actually be seeing ghosts Hitting around and skidding gaily along the floor.
 In The Dark
 Of course, you'll be safe, for they vii lnot leave the floor and the lights will be turned on after each period so that you may return again to the natural world. You will be in the dark concerning which ghost made the basket and what ghost made the foul, but you will be able to distinguish each team of ghosts apart as easily as if they were play ing in a lighted gym. As usual, the blind ghost will be the referee.
 Leo Orsini and Rocco Mara are sponsoring this novelty attraction which will be the first time it will show around here. The New Eng land premiere of ghost basketball" will be staged in Meriden, Tuesday, November l9.
 Tn the other game the same eve- ming here the Loew-Poli team of Waterbury. formerly the Boys Club Cadets, will oppose the Oakville Dukes.

GETS NOD IN BIG ONE WITH MICHIGAN
Washington Is A High Hurdle For Stanford
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor


 Michigan will have had a two weeks rest, and will need it for the large one with Minnesota in Min neapolis, Nov. g., but as strong as they are the Golden Gophers can be given only the shakiest kind of vote.
 Michigan is banking on the For est Evashevski-Tom Harmon com- bination to end the famine it has suffered in this series since the Wolverines obtained a scoreless tie in the mud in 1883.
 But Minnesota has the Four Norsemen Bob Paffrath, Bruce Smith, George Franck and Bob Sweiger - operating behind a line that is as big as all get out, and to date has refused to take no for an answer from the best
 Evashevski wasn't there to block for Harmon year ago, when Minnesota prevailed, 20-7, but this band of Giants of the, North is more formidable than was the 1889 varsity.
 Michigan has improved, too, but it's tough to pick against an outfit which has unfurled the power and versatility Minnesota has shown against the finest in the land.
 Northwestern has an oppor- tunity to rest and doctor up its wounds in the only other Big Nine engagement against Illinois at Dyche Stadium.
 In other midwestern skirmishes, Iowa bumps into more trouble against Nebraska in Lincoln, and Indiana should shade Michigan State in Bloomington.
 Oklahoma romps against Kansas at Lawrence in the only Big Six number.

COLUMBIA OVER WISCONSIN; FORDHAM TO REPEL PURDUE

In intersectional parties. Colum- bia should get back on the right track against Wisconsin at Baker Field, Fordham has too much man. power for Purdue in New York, where Manhattan should finish with an edge on Marquette.
 Mississippi will have things it's own way against Holy Cross in Wor- cester, and the same thing goes for Missouri in its joust with Colorado in Boulder, and South Carolina in its scrap with Kansas State in Co., lumbia, s. c.
 Duquesne may prove little too well balance for Saint Mary's in Say Francisco on Sunday, Nov. 10.
 Alabama has fine chance to get even in Birmingham for last falls 13-0 reverse at the hands of Tulane, and Clemson has sufficient class to get going again at Auburn.
 There is no good reason to sus- pect that Georgia Tech can't re- peat its last seasons victory over Kentucky in Louisville. or that Mis- sissippi State can't again repulse Louisiana State in Baton Rouge.
 That also appears to be true in the cases of Georgia against Flori- da fin Jacksonville, Virginia against Washington and Lee at University. Wake Forest against North Caro- lima State in Raleigh, and even more so as Duke keeps an appoint ment with Davidson in Durham.
 Southwestern will see a lot Of football as Tennessee visits Mem phis.
