Danbury, Conn. Sept. i7--A rec- ord turnout of lovers of speed IS anticipated Friday night, Sept. 10, for the final night auto race meet of the season when the 60.lAp Nutmeg State championship will be staged at the Danbury speed- ways in the Danhuty Fair Grounds.
 There will not be any advance in prices of tickets despite the fact that this is the longest race to be held this year by President 0. Stuart Mclean.
 Cappy Lane, director Of races, sends word from New York that he has lined up the greatest field of pilots ever to drive the puzS wagons around the Mclean race ing strip and that the competi- ton will be so keen that records are expected to be wiped off the board.
 Among the daredevils who will strut their stuff for the monster purse and the extra points that go with the title event will be Ted Tappett, who set 8 new track mark for 30 laps last Friday night; Len Duncan, leading point scorer here: Broncho Bill Schindler and Wild Bill Holmes, former title hoders; Georgie Rice, American indoor champion; Mike Joseph and e host of others.
 The doors to the $lO0,0OO grand stand will open at 2, with the first race at 8:S0. There will be free parking for 5000 cars inside the grounds.

Rockledge Golf Open
 Attracts Local LinkSmen

Considerable interest is being shown among the golfers of South ern New England in the unique Rcckledge Open Golf Carnival which will be staged at the Rock ledge Country club in West Hart ford on Monday, September 22nd.
 There will be prizes for pro-pro, pro-aEnateur and amateur-amateur combinations and 1t will not be necessary for players to play in the same foursonnes with their partners, thus allowing . player to team up with several different partners in various events. Cards will be matched at the end of the ls-hole medal play tourney to determine the winners.
 Added attractions for the event will consist of Q "hole-in-one" con- test and a driving championship, and there will be two team matches, the first between teams represent ing the Hartford Insurance and Hartford Industrial leagues, and the second between teams representing the Connecticut P. c. A. and the Western Massachusetts P. c. A. It Is expected that the Bay State pros will be represented by Henry Bon tempo, Lou Raimond, Art House, Stanley Parzik, Allen Mackintosh, Mack Sennett, Alec Hackney, and Alec Simpson. The Connecticut team will be chosen from Bob Hun. sick, Eddie Burke, George siebert, Leo Mallory, Bud deoghegan, Will lie Hunter, Willie Whalen, Jack Williams, Tom Donahue, Bob Smith, Cliff Bruno, Stan starzeo, Henry dlrardi, George Hunter, Al Labutis and Bob Schappa.
 Promising
 The team match between the Connecticut and Massachusetts pros Is a renewal of the matches which have been held for several years be- tween those keen but friendly ri- valS. This year the match will be medal play instead of match play as in former years. If matches of previous years are any indication, the event will be hard fought, as RA0yOAC VA pVVAA 0VStbVAAo AA1VV 0A~ ways done well in these competi- tions.
 Cleeko Marchetti of the Fairchild Wheeler club and Floyd Ciucci of the Mill River 0 O., who finished in . three way tie with Stan stas- zowski of the Greenwood c. c. last year, will be back to represent the Bridgeport territory. staszowski Is in the army and will be unable to compete.

.HUSKIES RATED
 OFF 1S4O FORM
 DUE TO LOSSES
Coach PheIan MOdesdy Picks No. 4 Spot in
 Conference
BY GEORGE E. JONES

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Seattle, Wash, Sept. 1T-(UP)- Jimmy Phelan, the little IrishniaT who has had his share of alumni criticism as head football coach at the University of Washington since 1880, has an idea the Huskies will wind up fourth in the ie4i Pacific Coast conference race.
 You can pick 'ern higher if you want" he added amiably. "But I'd honestly like a couple of ends and another good halfback before you go that far"
 Phelans forecast carried som weight for last year he called th turn when Washington finished second. The Huskies lost only to t.:a great Stanford eleven, and t':o seasons record had quieiing cf~ feet on perennial alumni dissatIss faction with the veteran coach. Five Regulars Lost
 Five regulars are lost from .l10 l940 Huskies, including All.Amer. ica center Rudy Mucha; Dean Nice Adams, all-coaSt halfback, and Jay Mcdowell, brilliant but erratio AAA~Spdob GilIs
 Phelan's for the opener against Mlnn... 4a here Sept. 27 depends largely on the showing of 6 sophomore crop which, off the cuff, looks excellent. Two of them, Bob Barrett and Johnny Norton. will battle for. the post left vacant by McAdamS and Maurice Stacy.
 The backfield otherwise will in- clude Ernie Steele, ie0-pound jack rabbit, left halfback: Means, quar- terback, and i90-pound Jack Stack pool, fullback. All are seniors. Steele, one of the fastest runners in the conference, will carry pass- Ing and running duties this year.
 Earl Younglove, rated by PheiasA as one of the best In the nation, holds down left end. The other wing post is 6 toss-up between two reserves, Bill Sloan and Fred Oi- son. Glen Conley, i040 regular, and Wayne Sterling, 240 . pound Hawaiian, are likely starting tackles.
 FrankOwskl at Guard
 Bulwark of the line is Ray Fran kowski, who received All-America mention at guard last year. This strapping 200 pound Them . n should be the Pacific Northwest'a outstanding candidate for all-stsr honors.
 Walt Harrison, who proved . mild sensation as a sophomore fuil- back last year until injured, mas been switched to center. He weighs l95, and is tall and effective on defense.
 Best of the sophomores are Nell Brooks, hard-running fullback wlac , has been compared to the 0eorgs Wilson, and Bob Erickson, triple- : threat haifback. { The schedule:

Werber Stars With Bat as Reds Shade Dodgers
 Cards, Giants Tie
BY PAUL sCHEFFELs

Limited Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 New York, Sept. 17.-(UP)-There was one thing certain today about the exciting National league strug- gle between the Brooklyn Dodgers setting the pace by 1h games and the St. Louis Cardinals:
 The only possibility of Q tie is for one of BrooElyn's games to be rained of the schedule.
 The New York Giants saw to that yesterday by coming from be- hind to gain 6 1-l tie with St. Louis in @ game called because of dark ness at the end of ten innings. AL though both clubs have an open date on Sept. 26, unless there is e special ruling, the contest has been automatically wiped off the slate. Therefore, should both the Dodg- CTS and Cardinals win all their rec maining games, the standings would
