 New York, Nov. 7-(UP)-There is mourning throughout the fabulous land of Flatbush today. Tears are falling like autumn rain and despair blankets the borough of Brooklyn like a fog.
 The word has come from Holly. wood that Manager Leo Durocher of the beloved Buns is going to appear in a movie in which he will wear the detested livery and spangles of the New York Yankees. It Is not the worst crime that Leo the Lip could commit against the peace and se- curity of the people of Brooklyn, but 1t certainly is next to the worst. The unpardonable sin, Of course, would be for him to put on 6 New York Giant suit-even If 1t was only for the sake of art In that earthly paradise of Hollywood where all men are brave, all women are beautiful and salaries start at Si0,000 Q week.
 Forced to the wall and threatened with toroure if they didn't tell all, the Hollywood press agents admitted Durocher had been signed for pics ture based on the career of the late Lou dehrig. Durocher and 0ehrig were teammates on the Yankees back in i927-2s-2o and in this picture the Lip will portray himself aS 6 young, aggressive shortStop. The years have had their evil way with the Lips hair, and reports from the wonder full city of Hollywood are that the makeup department already has uleasurer him for toupee.
 Saved a Dime
 News that Durocher intended to appear in public atitred ia c Yankee uniform reached Mir. Frank Swataka, c Tabid Brooklyn fan, ct 6 time when he had just depoelted Q dime on the bar for c beer. He was 70 astounded by the news that he made no protest whatsoever when your agent offered to pay for the llba. ton.
 "Thanks," said MT. Swataka, quickly conveying his dime back into his pocket and taking q long, reflective sip. 'srhe Lip in pitchers, huh2 Some guys have all the duck, don't theyp Think of the Lip kislsng them CrawSords and Turner's and Joys and gzetting god dough for 1t. Me, I'd Do Q volunteer"
 It was explained to Mir. Swataka that the Lips role probably would not call for him to 60 through any scenes depicting the sweet surrender Of love. He would be c ball player but c ball player wearing the New York YankeeS' uniform.
 "Them Yankeesl" exploded MT. Swataka. Lucky stifxs. Why If E!ts hadn't got himself hit on the leg by c line drive In the thold game, we would have moldered ." It required another 10 cent invest- ment in lager by your agent to di- vert him from that Inc Of reasoning end return him to the matter os the Yankee uniform. He coneldeFOG \ sileutly Scr about half Q gIass.

ARMY-HARVARD
 GRID FEATURE
Crimson Can Surprise; B. C. vs Wake Forest:
 Brown vs H. C.

Boston, November '. = (UP) - A Harvard team that has scored only two touchdowns in five games meets unbeaten Army tomorrow and the Crimson has the ability to regis- ter its third upset in a month. Army, with only Q Nntre Dame tie marring its record, rules favorite, but there is little local betting be- cause of Harvard's surprise victory over Dartmouth and tie with Navy, both unbeaten and united when they faced the Crimson.
 The Army-Harvard clash, with it's colorful crowd of cadets and specta- tors, features the New England foot ball program this weekend.
 Second billing goes to the inter. sectional battle between comeback irg Boston College and Wake For. est's heavyweight eleven. Boston College, seeking It's fourth straight triumph, should defeat the south- erners by c couple of touchdowns but rain and Q muddy gridiron might make the game closer.
 On The Read

Pennsylvania And Columbia Paired For Close Contest

Philadelphia, Nov. 7-Columbia and Pennsylvania, off and on grid- Iron rivals since 1878, will meet on Franklin Field this (tomorrow) aft- ernoon for the first time since 1888. The kickoff is scheduled for two o'clock.
 The home eleven, dropped from the undefeated class on Saturday by Q powerful Navy team, will meet 6 reiuvenAted eleven from Morning side Heights that created 8 mild surprise a week ago by defeating Cornell, ' to o,
 On their seasons record the teams should enter the game with neither the favorite. Columbia, victors over Brown and Princeton in addition to Cornell, has been defeated by Geor- gia and Army. Pennsylvania defeat- ed Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Maryland before sucumbing to the Midshipmen.
 Both teams will be handicapped at center. Don Snavely, brilliant Col- umbia center has been lost for the season, while Donald Bitler, Pennsyl- vania's veteran pivot, will be used sparingly because of an injury re- ceived in the Princeton game and a recurrence of the same hurt in the Navy contest.
 l.. l.. Alma Mater
 Lou Little, Pennsylvania's s alumnus and one of its star tackles of two decades ago, will depend upon a bee wildering series of trick plays and passes with speedy Paul Governall in the title role to offset PennSylva- nias power sweeps and off tackle tlafustS.
 Both teams are expected to use the same starting lineups of Q week ago. George Munger contemplated changes in the middle of the week but decided against them in the fi- nal signal drill of the week. How ever, Jack Welsh, wingback; Bob Odell, tailback; and Jack Donaldson, and Cleo Calcagni, tackles, are cer- tain to see early action in the game,
 Tn the last game between the two teams, Pennsylvania won l4 to l3 over the great team led b ySid Luck man. The series shows Pennsylva- mia with l7 victories, five defeats and two ties.

Never did Jim miss a single night when the boys gathered for play down at the Twentieth Century alleys last year. {. Although Jim lives away from our community we heard from reliable resources that he follows the boys by the means of this column. {. Hello, Jim, "the boy swould like you to attend e session" some WedneS- day evening" I believe the Mrs. will grant you release. I hope. .... What Sayl

TaIun, Westenberg Head New Britain Mat Show Tonight

New Britain, Nov. Tone of the best balanced wrestling cards of the young le4l-42 indoor season is ex- pected to be presented at the stan- ley Arena here Friday night when Promoters Lou Viscusi and Ed Hurley stage the third mat pro- gram of the year. As & feature match, Wladyslaw Tlun, giant Polish grappler, will meet Marvin Westen. berg of Tacoma, WaShv former worlds champion in a two out oi three falls tilt while the three sO-minute, time-limit bouts on the undercard look like "naturals" for action.
 Talun, one of the biggest of the heavyweightS in action ct the present time, stands six feet, eight inches in height and scales in al 330 pounds. Last year in his several New Britain appearances, he had little trouble in dispoSing of four ops ponents. They were, in order, Tom- my Rice. Richard Stahl. Lord Ale bert" Mills and Ben Morgan, the bearded Texan. Stahl and Mills gave him terrific tussles before they gave in to the giant.
 Worthy Foe
 Tn Westenberg, Talun faces prob ably the best seasoned wrestler oi them all. He has reigned as heavy weight champion of the world and whether 1t be 6 roughhoilsc or straight" wrestling match, he is the equal of practically every man he meets. while Talun will have plen- ty of height and much more weight on him in the coming bout, WeSten- berg's ability to absorb punishment and his knowledge of holds should offset those advantages.
 Tn the seTni-final. the first of the 3O-minute tits, George Timothy Llnnehan, the Tom Sawyer of the ring, will meet Marty Jones of Col umbus, O., popular youngster Wlic performed here several times last year before he was injured.

Tom Cerasulo continued his rapid drive for the loops individual champ in pacing the G-Men in . 3 0 l victory over the faltering New Dealers. Tom took charge in a per- sonal assault that beat the New Dealers in the final" by seven pins.
 Charles "Chase" Chillemi, who has been a lease" since climbing out of hls '.lEnickers", practically had hon. ors for individual pinfall to date fortified up to eight canto when he missed q one pinner by the skin of hls teeth, therefore finishing out the game with Q tally of i46, seven pins @hogt os the top mark.
 Upon learning that his precious Haigh game of l52 was being threat. ened mornentarily by the masterful reverse pinning of Chillemi down at tho other end of the alleys, the ssgpider" caught our little Irony" axleaAing out of the "" and final dAsa across the street to drug store, calling for couple of sspiranS.

 rather Michael McVerry, treas urer, of the league, predicted by many to. be one of the chief guns in the New Dealers firing this sea. r0ai, finally came out of his slump to hit over 300 for tho first time this seAscn.

Gold Cup Regatta at Red Bank
Brinqs General Satisfaction

Great satisfaction has been ex-
pressed over the transfer of the 1941
Gold Cup race from Detroit to
Red Bank by Horace E. Dodge,
jr., to whom the American Power
Boat Association awarded sponsor
ship of the event last January when
he volunteered to finance the show
if the automobile city INCORPORATING
fraternity would stage it.
Recently A. P. B. A. officials and
Dodge learned through newspaper
dispatches that Detroit had changed
its mind; that it had decided not
to put on Labor Day regatta with
the Gold Cup race headlining the
program. Later the Detroiters got
around to notifying the proper
authorities officially.
In the mean time. Red Banks en-
terprising regatta organization an
nounced that it would be happy to
add the Gold Cup fixture to its Ma
tional Sweepstakes regatta the week
end of August 1917. Eventually
Dodge and the Red Bankers got to-
gether. worked out a mutually satis-
