EAGLES, INDIANS
 ON ICE SUNDAY

New Haven, Nov. 14.-The battle for first place in the eastern divi- sion of the American Hockey league still wages at a torrid rate, and the two clubs in the thick of battle now namely the New Haven Eagles and the Springfield Indians-finally come to grips at the Arena on Sum- day night.
 It marks the first meeting of the season between these clubs, and 1t Is a known factor throughout the circuit that there isn't any other combination which provides the thrills and battle which takes place in New Haven-Springfield meet ing.
 Earl Robinson, fiery boss of the Eagles, has been battling Eddie Shore ever since the Springfield pilot came into the league. Robin son last year climbed over the bar rier here and took on Shore and trainer Johnny Mitchell in a fight which was waged up and down the aisles.
 There will be plenty of rivalry in this meeting, as Bullet Bill Summer hill, once a member of the Eagles, is wearing a Springfield uniform, and New Haven's own Frankie Beisler is also back in uniform for the Indians.
 This will be the Eagles final home game until November 27 as the Ice Capades of 1942 takes over the rink for eight nights starting next We'd neSday.

MAURIELLO 7-5
 IN TITLE BOUT
 OVER LESNEvICH
Light-Heavy Title Worth. less as Rivals Seek Big
 Money Duels
By JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff CorrespOndeRV
 New York, Nov. l4-tUP)-The worlds undisputed light heavyweight championship is merely on incl- dental tonight as veteran Gus Les- nevich and young Tami Mauriello tangle for the second time ct Madi- son Square Garden,
 Each craVes an impressive victory SO he can graduate shortly Into the golden heavyweight division with proper fanfare. Champion Lesne- Vich of CliffSide, N. J., cares naught about losing the l75-pound crown, nor Is the 2l-year-old Bronx Italian agogo over winning 1t, as he Is fa- vored at 7-5 to achieve.
 But each will go all out tonight for a triumph that will boost him into the heavyweight league be-. cause CD there's much more money among the heavies, and (2 Lesne- vich already has trouble pairing down to the i75-pound limit, while challenger Tani Is growing so fast that in couple of months he will be unable to make the weight.
 Worthless
 LeSnevich scorns the crown which he ins defending for the first time "a diadem that was one of the rich- est in all pugilism during the golden decade of the twenties, The days of Carpentier, Siki, McTigue, Ber- lenbaeh, Delaney and Loughran, Unfortunately this is another era, and this particular heak-busting bonnet is virtually worthless today,
 Muffin-faced Lesnevich has held the title since August 26, and al- ready he and his handlers are being called Bankruptcy, Inc" But he is not as unfortunate as his prede- ceSsor, brilliant Billy Conn, who with his entourage owed Promoter Mike Jacobs more than SlS,000 after more than a year on the throne.
 Gleefully cherub-faeed Conn tossed of the l75-pound laurels so that he could get 6 shot at Joe Louis and some important money. Hence Les- nevich and Mauriello fought for the first time in August to determine which would succeed Conn on the poverty-stricken light-heavy throne. Lesnevich won that l5-round decl- sion, but 1t was so close that Pro- moter Jacobs matched, them for a return bout tonight,

TWICE BEATEN

 New York, Nov. i4-(UP)- Ah seven major undefeated football teams and e few defeated ones which still hope for New Years Day bids get another chance tC bolster their claims tomorrow in e banner program expected to settle the big six title, clarify the bowl lineup and eliminate at least two more contenders for the mythical nation. al crown.
 The top game of the day pits un. defeated Notre Dame against Northwestern at Evanston, H., buA almost every giant In the land will compete in other contests which are almost as important. While Duke, Minnesota, Texas and Texas A. & M. will be liberally favored against under-dog opponents, many another name team appears head- ed towards rough waters.
 Weather Important
 Although beaten twice, Norths western is held @ slight choice over the Irish boys who to date have turned in the best season exper- fenced by a Notre Dame team since dition of the gridiron may play an important part in this battle since the Irish offense Is built on Angelo Bertelli, q passer who can't work best in mud.
 A second bang-up midwestern embroglio is scheduled at Coluln- bia, Mo, where Missouri and Okla homa--each once beaten but not within the conference-fight for the right to the big six championship md the bowl invitation that has acc companied that title for the past three seasons. Missouri is Q hair line favorite here but there Is very little to choose.
 Perfect Records
 Another game which will heavily influence selection of the bowl teams is that which matches Du- Quesne and Mississippi State, both undefeated, in Pittsburgh. Each of these teams has been invited to the Orange Bowl twice before and the winner is certain to draw plenty of attention this season. The game Is the last for Duquegae.
 In other top-iine battles, Texaa A. 6 M. collides with Rice whils the Texas Longhorns engage Texas Christian, Alabama meets Georgia Tech, North Carolina faces Duke. Stanford tackles Washington State and Oregon State meets California in the best attractions in the var- ious conferences and sections of the country.

can keep winning against Nebra- ska.
 like Andy Tomasic and Tenn pie against Michigan State. TEXAS CHRISTIAN CATCHES TIED TEXAS ON REBOUND
 Texas, outplayed and hold even will be furiously on the bounce and should whip Texas Christian.
 Texas A. and M. should still boast an unblemished record after meeting Rice. Southern Methodist looks too strong for Arkansas.
 Billy Sewell's aerial bullets may trouble Stanford but Clark shaughneSSy'S boys have that Rose Bowl urge and should get by Washington State.
 have an idea California will get back on the right track against oregon State.
 santa Clara is the choice over Its traditional rival, Saint Mary's Nov IS.
 Brigham Young should keep rolling against Colorado and Den- yer against Colorado Mines. Utah State wins 6 narrow margin over Wyoming.
 No, I didn't pick Pitt over Ford ham. If I had, people would con- sider me Q clairvoyant, and I'd be asked to predict the future.
 I wouldn't want that.

faltering vote for the Purple.
 Notre Dame took 0 physical beating at the hands of the Mid- dies. Northwestern had no easy time with Indiana, but 1t did not have to put forth such an all-out effort.
 The Irish were high for Navy, They had the drive and the spirit that good teams have after an unsuccessful game. Notre Dame was disappointed in its showing against Army, The Celts were primed for Q killing. North western has been defeated twice. Waldorf has pointed for Notre Dame.
 Northwestern has a good pasSer of It's oVn-sophomore Otto dra- ham.
 The young Purple line has come along nicely, Northwestern has a powerful attack with Don Claw son, Bill DeCorrevont, Graham and plenty of reserve material. MINNESOTA MUST
 FEEL IFS SCHEDULE
 Bernie Bierman's teams ct Min. nesota are noted for their ability to stay on top, but I'm going way out on the limb and pick Iowa to knock the GopherS out of the undefeated ranks.
 Minnesota has relied on its stout line to make up for the loss of backs Bruce Smith and Herman Frickey. The GopherS had Stren- uous engagements with North western and Nebraska following their titanic Michigan struggle. They must feel the brunt of their schedule.
 Iowa is Q young, developing team which has gained momen. tum following Q poor start.
 pr. Eddie Anderson knows what to do with a good paSser, and the HawkeyeS have found one in Tommy Farmer, They have a splendid fullhack in Bill Green to give them ground threat as well.
 Missouri has a potent ground ate
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-11-14

tack while Oklahoma will depend on the versatile talents of Indian Jack Jacobs. I like the Tigers but they'll know they've been to the wars.
 MICHIGAN TOO MUCH FOR TRAIL COLUMBIA
 Boston College has been roll- ing since Its defeats by Tulane and Clemson. Paced by Q fine halfback, Mike Holovak, the Eagles should turn back Tennessee ln Boston.
 Michigan will outweigh, out- man and overpower Columbia in New York.
 Unbeaten and once-tied MiSSis- sippi State has a top-notch back In Blondy Black and should whip DuqueSne in q Pittsburgh thriller.
 Underrated Harvard, with its powerful forward wall, should turn back Brown.
 Cornell Is my choice over Dart- mouth. The Big Red has a grand aerial game.
 Pennsylvania has too much re- serve power for Army.
 N. Y. U, with an emphasized schedule and 6 de-emphasized team faces a rough afternoon with Tulane.
 I like Colgate's young team over Syracuse,

Sweet Willow And Wise Moss In Race Special" At Rock

Salem, N. H., November IA. - R. W. Collins Sweet Willow regarded by many as the outstanding sprinter on the continent, and Mrs. Ed Me- Cuan's Wise Moss will meet in a match race at Rockingham Park on November 9, the closing day of the New England racing season.
 The race, an outcome of a debate between Collins and Ed McCuan as to the relative speed of their horses, was clinched yesterday when Lou Smith, managing director of the old Rock, agreed to post purse of $5,000, winner-take- e-all, and the rival trainers posted for 5000 each, as a side bet.
 The sprinters will race six fur longs, and the owners agreed that Sweet Willow would carry 1l8 pounds, as compared with l08 for Wise Moss. Tn other words, Sweet Willow, four year old lilly, will give Wise Moss, a three year old lilly, 10 pounds and attempt to beat ueT TOT the purse aAlu GnS sue peI'
 Good Time
 Wise Moss won the New Hamp- shire Handicap over a dead track in l:l2:4 a week ago Saturday, beating the best sprinters on the ground with the exception of Sweet Willow Tn the White Mountain Handicap earlier in the meeting, Sweet Will low, dipped through the fastest three quarters of the meeting, going the six furlongs in HI and beat Wise Moss by two lengths. On that oc- casion Sweet Willow carried 120 pounds, and Wise Moss ll2. For the Speed Special, there will be a two pound shift in the weights in favor of Mrs. McCuan's black lilly.
 Back in the spring of the year Wis Moss was unbeatable in the middle west, winning four straight handicaps and setting herself up as one of the best three year old sprint CTS in the business. Sweet Willow past performances, is the best of the filiies and mares older than three years, and this race will come close to deciding the lilly champion ship of the nation at six furlongs.
 To carry out the sporting phase of the race to its logical conclusion. Lou Smith announced today that there will be no wagering on the race.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-11-14

Detroit figures to repel Villa. nova.
 Princeton showed signs of power against Dartmouth and should take Yale.
 Holy Gross Is my choice over Manhattan.
 DUKE HEAVILY FAVORED OVER NORTH CAROLINA
 Jimmy Nelson should lead Ala bama to victory over Georgia Tech
 Duke has wide margin over North Carolina on past perform ance and should win, though the Tar Heels can make their season Q success by upsetting the dope.
 Clemson Is my choice over Wake Forest. Louisiana State and Au- burn is a tossup affair with nod to L. s. U. Georgetown, conqueror of Mississippi, is my choice over North Carolina State.
 Bob zuppke is noted for "one- upSet-a-year" Illinois may fool Paul Browns Buckeyes in Coium- bus, but I'll have to string with Ohio State. High-scoring Wiscon- sin and low-Scoring Purdue tangle at Madison, and I think the Bad. gers are due to win one.
