WILL
 !. SETTLE GRID WAR SATURDAY
Waterbury Boys to Line
 Up With 2OSth Team; Kickoff at ! 80 P. N.

New Haven, December s. - The all-C Connecticut football game to de- termine the New England Army championship win Do played at the Yale Bowl on Saturday afternoon between the 9A2nd Coast Artillery, of Fort Terry, N. Y, and the 2OSth Anti-Aircraft. of Camp Edwards. Mass. The kickoff will be i:so p. m., and the public will be ad- mitted free of charge.
 Several days of indeoision and uncertainty prevented an earlier final decision on the site ot the game, but obstacles in the path of the contest have been cleared off the boards and arrangements are being made to accommodate 2S'OOO fans,
 Both the 2A2nd and 2Oeth were Connecticut National Guard regi- ments, occupying the towns Of Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven, Waterbury, Milford and Stratford, collectively, prior to their induce ton into Federal service in I9a0. Since that time, the strength ot both has expanded with Connecti' cut Selectees.
 odd situation
 That an Army elimination tourla- ment should narrow itself down to two Nutmeg regiments is in itself on unusual and colorful situation Army weather observers at Fort Terry have predicted Q clear, brisk day for Saturday and the attraction from an athletic standpoint. coupled with the prospect of seeing this great service game free of charge should be an inducment to Con- nectlcut football fans.
 slight Mlxup
 Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Watt, executive officer of the 242nd, who handled details of the game for the Fort Terry regiment, stated today that the uncertainty over . playing field came about because Of various interpretations of Army regulations covering soldier travel.
 Undeteated in competition with Connecticut teams, the 242nd went through an eight-gaFne schedule with only one setback, to c profes. sional combine. The stratford Rams fell before the 2l2nd twice, and the Meriden Marcoons, Walling. ford Walcos and Fairfield Tigers also tasted defeat on the field with the 2a2nd.
 TO win the right to met the 208th for the championship, the Bridgeport boys humbled the 36eth Infantry, of Fort Devens, Mass, by . 2l-0 count.

Young Kid Mccoy Gets Acid Test From Fritzie Zivic

New York, Dec. D-ApparentIy t makes little difference who headlines the boxing program at Madison Square Garden next Friday night just SO long as Young Kid Mccoy, asty Detroit welterweight, IS 1n the feature bout.
 It is remarkable how well Mccoy has stood Up against the barrage Of expedition slated to be used against him, at one time or another, in the Garden on the night Of December 12. First it was Ray Robinson who got sick. Then 1t was the walter champion himself, Freddie Red" Cochfane, who couldn't fill the as- GignSnent either.
 Never c guy to get discouraged, Young Kid Mccoy kept right on training, confident that sooner or later Promoter Mike Jacobs and his matchmaker, Nat Rogres, would come through with an opponent who could and would climb into the ring against him next Friday.
 His confidence was not misplaced for sure enough, Jacobs and Rogers enlisted the services of Fritzie Civic, former welterweight champion, the amartsst boxer and one Of the hard- est hitterS in the I4T-p0und class.

Decoration
Recognizing
Famous Styles
OF Furniture

KNOWLEDGE OF period fur
niture and the recognition of
various styles Is not only indis-
pensable In furnishing your
home In good taste, but also a
means Of increasing your enjoy
ment and satisfaction In the
decoration Of one room or an
entire house.
1t Is not necessary to learn
detailed data of all period design
TO attain this enjoyment. Rather
IL will only add to your confu-
sion, unless you are striving for
a professional knowledge.
Essentials
This column, and others to
follow. will attempt to simplify
this matter Of period furniture
and point out the essential de-
sign motifs, and only the ESSEN
tials, Of each style.
The first rule TO Ak In your
mind about period design IL that
IT is directly related to the his
torical era which bears its name.
Or, putting II more briefly,
furniture reflects the times. The
story of its development and its
transition from one style to an
other Is as fascinating az his
tory itself.
1t is no dull, dry routine Of
learning 10 fix certain meaning

in design have personality, and
Just as you recognize individu-
ais by their peculiarities and
quirks OF character so may you
distinguish period design.
For example. what does the
term Elizabethan mean to you?
IL Is not necessary to be a STU
dent OF history to have this
name call 10 mind pictures of a
ruffed-collar queen, imperious
and heavy with dignity: of
Drake and Raleigh and Essex,
and a new England. a renais-
sance England, rising under
their guidance.
Reflects Glory
Elizabethan suggests the
Spanish Armada, and England's
moving for the first time into
e role OF ruler OF the seas and
lerefore an important power.
This sense Of Importance, this
sudden acquisition of newly dis ?
covered lands and explorers
gold, Is Immediately reflected in
the furnfture- OF The time.
People being people, even in
Elizsbeth's day, this new wealth
and Importance had to be shown
off. Great mansions, elaborate
castles, were flung triumphantly
Up for the world to see.
Pomp was the keyword Of the
day. II mattered not at all how
cultured you were, but how big
a house you had. how much OF q
show you could put on.
Massive Pieces
Waiting rooms large enough
to At an entire five-roorn apart.
Inent into were nothing unusual.
Living rooms were high-ceiling,
vast and echoing halls, huge
enough to hold q half-dozen Of
today's small houses.
And the furniture reflected
all this.
It was massive; Il had TO be,
10. I'LL the rooms Il was planned
for. II was elaborate, to blend
with its architectural back.
ground.
Comfort was OF less import
ance than ostentation. The more
deliberately carved a table, the
better. The more massive a
chair. the better.
Illustrated are q few OF the
most typical motifs OF the Eliza
bethan design. There are many
more. but IL you Zee q piece Of
furniture with any one of these,
you can name its period. And,
after all, the aim Of these arti-
cles Is just that: 10 simplify the
recognition of period design.
