New York, Nov. 6-(UP)-There are only three more weeks to play in the io4l football season so to-day the gents who use logarithms, square roots and split fractions to arrive at the sectional champions came up with the not so startling news that Fordham's Rams hold a comfortable lead in the race for the Lambert trophy.
 This big cup is awarded annually to the team the judgets rate as the Lest football machine in the east and unless the Rams are upset--as is impossible-by Pitt, St. Mary's or N. Y. U. in the nxt three week. ends 1t will gather dust for the corn- ing year on Rose Hill. For after that one-sided conquest of Purdue, the Rams have a rating of .e64.
 Based on a mythical rating of 1000 for a perfect team, this rally gives Fordham & .006 advangtage over the only other undefeated, united team in the section. That is Duquesre and this challenge of the Dukes is only one of many the city of Pittsburgh has filed for the tro- phy which in years past has gone to both Pitt and Carnegie Tech-.- before de-emphasiE.
 Perfect Season?
 Fordham's dominance comes as no surprise because already 1t is taken for granted that the Rams will spend New Years day in one of the four major bowls. Jim Crow ley admits frankly that this team is the most dangerous and most

| Harvard Alumni
 1 Muffed Chance
 To Get Grid Star

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 6--(UP)-- Richard Cresson Harlow, bald-pated 9oolcgist who directs the des.inies of Harvard's punchless football team had 6 new reason today to bemoan the traditional indifference of Grim. son alumni.
 Harlow received c letter yester- day, but perhaps this story should start with Q letter that, came to him more than two years ago.
 It came from 8 fellow in Billings, Mont, who once played under Har- low ct Colgate. Hetold of a youth who was dying to so to Harvard" and had the necessary scholastic marks and money.
 Harlow got a copy of the youths marks and Harvard's offlce of admis- slonstold him that the lad was eli- gible to enter college without the fornnality of examinations. Harlow had no Montana contacts 80 he turned the job over to alumni.
 Nothing Happened
 A year later, Harlow got another letter from his Billings friend, say- ing his protege still was waiting for word from a Harvard alumnus. Harlow again appealed to the alumni but nothing happened.
 Harlow received Q third letter from his Billings friend yesterday. It read:
 T just thought you'd be interested to know that the kid I wrote you about two years ago Is the same Bud Higgins who scored the winning touchdown for Minnesota over Northwestern on that 4l-yard trick play run last Saturday"

TaIun, 6-S-3SO,
 Meets WestenbeFg At New Britain
Giant Pole to Show Friday Night; Pupil of Stanis-
 laus zbyszkO

New Britain, Nov. 4.--The first major wrestling bout of the present season will be staged ct the Stanley Arena next Friday night when wladyslaw Talun, giant polish grap- pier, clashes with Marvin westen. berg, former lumberjack from Tas coma, Wash. This will be the first meeting between these two top heavywelghts in this city. They will meet in Q, match that will so tc the best two out of three falls and this tilt will head a program ot four all action matches.
 Although this will mark Talun's first appearance here this season, he is one of the best known and most popular of the grapplers to appear here. He is Q native of Wilma, Poland, and in his native land he was engaged as 8 govern. ment forester. It was through his duties In the woodlands that he Is believed to have developed this tre- mendcus physique. Tn height, he stands eight feet, six inches, and he weighs S30 pounds. He is 6 pros tege of stanlslaus zbyszko, who twice captured the worlds cham- pionship. 2byszko has taught his charge everything that he knew about the mat game and Taiun has proved to be an apt pupil. zbyszko hopes that Talun will, in the near himself, held with sue distinction in future, hold the title which he himself, held with such distinction in the years gone by,
 Next Champ? {. After 0 year ot seasoning dur Ing which he won his share oi matches but was defeated by Maurice (The AngeD, Tillet, reign- ing champion, Talun feels that he is destined to become the worlds champion this season. He appeared in New Britain many times last year and he waded through all opposi- ton here. He defeated such stal- warts as Tommy Rice, Richard Stahl, Lord Albert Mills, Ben Mor- gan and others.
 Against Westenberg, Talun meets one Of the best seasoned men In the game. Westenberg is a former worlds champion and he is enjoy- Ing one of his best seasons this year. Although Talun will have a big advantage over him In height, weight and reach, WeStenbergs knowledge of the wrestling game should serve to offset 1t.
 There will be three other bouts on the program, each being of 90 minutes duration. According to Matchmaker Ed Hurley, he is trying to arrange for the appearance here of such performers as George Timo- thy Lnnehan, Vic Eolbrook, Mills and others.

FOrdham Rams Hold Big Lead
 For Lambert Grid Trophy

resourceful he ever has coached, and 1t has only Pitt, St. MaTy's and N. Y. U. now barring the pass to Ford- hams first perfect season.
 Back of Fordham and Duquesne come the Middies of Navy, whose record is spotted with that score less deadlock with Harvard with a point score of !oS7-just one short of the Dukes and one which is cer- tain to jump up if the Middles makes good their two-month old boast to turn back Notre Dame in Baltimore this Saturday.
 This is the game that makes or breaks Navy. If the Gobs win, they have clear sailing towards a bowl of their own and they'll emerge as not only a claimant for the eastern trophy but for the mythical na- tional title as well. The Notre Dame contest may be decided by the weather. If it's clear and the turf is fast, the Irish have the edge. But in rain and mud it's navy.
 The only questionable team high up on the Lambert ladder now is Boston College, which ranks fourth at .e55, two points below Navy and four above fifth place Army. The Eagles flew up the bracket with that shocking 31-O defeat of pre- viously unheaten Temple while the Army was rated too low early in the season-when the Cadets were meeting the Citadel and V. M. L. to make up the distance playing Notre Dame to 8 Scorelegs tie.
 Other Chances
 The Army gets its chance to rise this week when lt marches against Harvard, rated one of the best de- Senave units in the nation. Ford. ham similarly goes against Pitt while Duquesne meets st. Marys, Boston College can't move up ap. presiahly by besting Wake Forest, but all four of the other leaders can boost their scores by many points.
 While the three independent squads and the two service schools dominate the section. the Ivy league goes into another round Of what is fast becoming one of its most luck- less season. Penn, which meets Columbia this week after losing to Navy, is sixth on the Lambert list ing and the Lions trail ninth, be- hind Temple and Syracuse.
 After upsetti<g Cornell lask wael, Columbia can wrap up the Ivy ti- tIe with 8 conquest of the 0uakers. The Lions have won both 0f their battles against Ivy opponents, and Penn is the last league rival on their schedule. Tn other leaRue contests Dartmouth will play Prince ton and Cornell faces Yele--but these games mean little exeent to the graduate managers.

beat him, just as in the two years he has coached at Annapolis the Army hasn't beaten him. He likes to damn the torpedoes" with full speed ahead, and if anybody is ins the road, what the hell, why knock him down, Of course.
 Veteran Mentor
 Larson has been coaching football teams for years. After graduating, he too, carried away g tsophy-the Thompson cup for athleteic excel- lence. Since then he has played and coached Marine and Navy foot ball everywhere-Quantico, Paris Island, Shanghai, Hawaii Nicaragua and on the U. s. s. Pennsylvania, which he led to two straight fleet championships.
 The Swede came back to An- napolis in December 1888 as com- manding officer of the Marine de- tachment at the academy, and his long experience scored at once. Last year the MiddieS lost only two games ito Penn and Notre Dame-al- though outgaining both opponents. It was last year that Larson laid the groundwork for le4l-and did it very well.
 Navy today is one of the great power teams in America. It is made up of about 30 men of equal ability and divided into two complete units. It scorns strategy, prefering to smash through the line or brush around end with sheer strength and abandon. Tese tactics worked wit terrible effectiveness against Penn. Cornell, William & Mary, Lafayette and West Virginia, but begged down, 0-0, against Harvard.
 Right now Navy has only Notre Dame to surmount and the sailing should be clear for a perfect season Of course the Army Is still up ahead, but the Swede isn't too concerned about that. He's met the Army five times before, and the Cadets haven't licked him, yet. And this time he's looking beyond the Army looking out to California and the Rose Bowl.

JUDCESHIP AGAIN MAKES LIMELICHT
Riddle Seeks to Fill Con- necticut Vacancy and
 II Others

The Connecticut federal judye- ship, vacant Nfor several years, has bobbed into the lirnelight again with the news from Washington that Attorney General Francis Bid- dle will seek to fill that and Ii other court vacancies as quickly as passibl.e The vacancy on the fed- eral bench in this state has exist ed longer than any of the others.
 Samuel o. Clark, now an assist ant attorney general, is the lat- est whose name has been added to long list of candidates. The name of Congressman J. Joseph Smith is still figuring prominently, though the importance of his place on the military affairs committee may initiate against his appointment.
 Congressman Smith has long been supported by U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney. Several months ago his appointment was reported inn- minent but no word was forth coming.
 Judge Edward J. Finn of this city is believed Q leading candidate In the event that Congressman Smith should be ruled out.
 One leading aspirant, John O FitzGerald of New Haven, son of National Committeeman David E FitzG Gerald, presumably removed himself from the race when he ac- cepted an appointment of the state court of common pleas bench.
