Wesleyan Provided Greatest Upset On State GA'idirons

The small college season in Con- necticut drew to Q close Saturday with the greatest upset of the sea- son-WeGleyan'S surprising 27 to 0 victory over previously undefeated and untIed Trinity,
 The Trinity team didn't have a chance against Capt. Jim Carrier. He scored two totlchdowns himself and assisted in the tallying of the other two with eagle-eyc passes. Carrier was a one-man team, ard almost personally wrecked Trinity s chances for q perfect season.
 The Wesleyan team scored in each period, and thoroughly out- chased the Hartford eleven. Thus, Coach Wesley Fesler's first season at Wesleyan was considered a roar Ing success, although his team broke even in It's games-four victories and four losgeS.
 Trinity ended its season with q record of six wins and one loss,
 The University of Connecticut eleven ran into trouble at New Brunswick, N, J., and came out on the short end of a 32 to 2 score against Rutgers. This has been one of Connecticut's poorer seasons, and the final tally sheet shows six de- feats and two victories for the cam paign.

Overlin, Hostak In Ten ROunder AtM.S.G. Friday

New York, Nov. i5-LIght-he weights again spotlight the boxing program at Madison Square dar- den on Friday night when Al Hos- talk, former National Boxing Assn. mIddleweight champion. makes his eastern debut against Ken Overlin, former world champion l60-pound. CT, in e contest of ten rounds. HoS- talk and Overlin have moved out of the Iniddleweight class and are now seeking honors among the light heaVles,'
 Sharing the spotlight with Hos- talk and Overlin will be two of the country's foremost welterweight title contenders, Mike Kaplan, Of Boston, and young Kid McKoy, of Detroit. The match between these two is also slated for 10 rounds.
 New York ring fans have been hearing of Hostak for the past sev- eral years and at the time he knocked out Freddie Steele in one round to become N. B. A. cham pion, Jack Dempsey, third man in the ring, described him as one of the greatest punchers he had ever seen.
 Popular
 A highly spectacular performer, Hostak has been attrcatlng crowds to the Pioneer gymnasium daily. He throws punches necessarily and he packs tremendous power in his gloves. It has been q tough job keeping him supplied with spar mates.
 Hostak arrived here from Seattle several weeks ago but refused to sign for a fight until fully accli- mated. He's ready now. And so IS Oberlin who has been working out at Madame Bey's camp in Summit, N. J., following a successful cam paign of tune-up fights throughout the east.
 The Kaplan-McCoy fight which accompanies Hostak Overlin, has been talked abou: for many months. Many efforts were made in the past to match these two but they failed. Finally, however, Nat Ros- CTS, Twentieth Century sc. match maker, got them to sign on the dot ted line and they clash on Friday night.
 TWO six-round events and two fours complete the Garden program.
