Wants Red Armies to Drive Germans Completely
 Out of the Crimea
BY M. s. HANDLER

(UmAte0 Rrese BtaSx COxToSpOmUemt) KuibyShev, Russia, Dec. 3i.-(UP) Premier Josef v. stalln ordered the Red army to drive the Germans entirely out of the Crinea and 1t was responding with . slashing westward drivo from the recap- tured towns ot Kerch and Feodosiya.
 Stalln dispatched his personal con- gratulations to commanders of tri. utnphant Soviet forces advancing across the Crimea to the relief of besieged Sevastopol, the important Black Seq naval base.
 "The Criynea must be liberated from the German invaders and their Rumano-Italian ur1derlings, " he declared.
 The message commended the Red army units which recroSsed tke Kerchenslkl Straits, from the Cau- casus, reoccuping the key city and fortress ct Kerch and recapturing the Black Sea port of Feodosiya, 70 miles from the straits and only 100 miles from Sevastopol. It was probably the most important Soviet victory since the Red army drove the Germans out of Rostov On Don.

Supplies Team Star Rolls l53 for New High Single
 in Grand St. Loop

With only three games separating the first and last place teams, it ap- pears as though the race this year will be one of the hottest in the his- tory of the Chase Grand Street Office Bowling League.
 This was brought about mainly through the three point win of the Purchasing Department over the Production, with that Grand Old Timer, Winnie Dixon, furnishing the big punch.
 The Supplies Team, inspired by the stellar rolling of Captain Tim mic Nolan, whose 153 in the last game is new high single for the year, took over their "cousins" the Treasurers, for three points.
 To complete successful night for the three second division teams, T.. B. Fox's Sales aggregation out-fig- ured the Accountants for three points, leaving Everett Grahn shak- ing his head at the thought of 8 Salesman besting an Accountant at figures. It is with great pride that we are able to report that Harry Gordon, a. long time member of the Chase Office bowling league, was one of the prize winners in the National Com petition meet participated in by our league.

ASSAULT UPON , REFEREE BASIS
 OF NEW ACTION
State League 10 Meet This Week to Hear Charges
 of KIOtz

Bridgeport, Oct. SO-Thomas Rob- inson, president of the Connecticut State Soccer Commission, said today that he would call a meeting thiA week to continue the investigation of Referee Fritz Klotz's complaint that he was bodily assaulted last Sunday by members of the. Nauga. tuck Port Unions, of the Connecti' cut State Soccer league.
 Klotz, according to Robinson, h still limping from the beating hA took Sunday "at the hands of sew eral players on the Portuguest Union team."
 Robinson said the assault oc' cured almost year to the day after Lou Marchese another league referee, was assaulted by membera of the Danbury Portuguese club That club was suspended from league play permanently, while ttA members were put out for two years. Marchese is now training to be Q state policeman.
 If the commission sees fit to ban the Naugatuck club from playing out this season, the league will still be able to run smoothly, for there are now nine teams in the circuit. This weke's slate may be thrown into a dither, however, if the commission doesn't meet before Sundays game.
 Sundays Schedule
 The Stamford Uniteds are slated to have buy in this weeks games but, if the Ports are found guilty of Klotz's charges, the former champions may have to entertain the Hartford Aircraft outfit. The Hartford team was scheduled t0 meet the Naugatuck aggregation Sunday.
 Outside of the turmoil over the Naugatuck incident, which will b0 strengthened out over conference table, little action seems to be i'll store for state soccer fans unless the city championship game be- tween the Vasco da Gamas and the Swedish A. c. can develop some life.
 The Swedes, although beaten badly last Sunday by the high- flying Waterbury Lusos, will still be heavy favorites to beat the Vascos when the two meet Sunday afternoon at Pink Creek field Fisken Lindgren and his Swedish mates appear to carry too many guns for the vascos, although Jackie Antonio, the little stick of dyna- mite, may be able to cary his team to a victory Ey upset.
 The Waterbury team, with six straight wins against no losses, shouldn't have. any trouble against the last place St. Anns of Norwalk. Jack Fonte, leader of the Lusos, should have good opportunity to swell his already large point total.
 In the other game Sunday, the Electric Boats of Groton, will face the Pratt & Whitney eleven.

Hartford Blues Take On Stratford Rams Next Sunday

Hartford, Oct. 30.-The Hartford Blues haven't any soft touch when they line up against the Stratford Rams here next Sunday. for the scrappy gentlemen coached by Albie Booth gave Grat OConnell's outfit a real scare here early in September
 The Blues finally won the bal game but not until they had traileo the Rams at half time 2 to 0. Only one other team has been able tc lead the Blues, this being the Long Island Indian brigade which is duo in here a week from Sunday. The Indians added two more to make the licking stick at 21-0 but tht Rams were victims of a pair of bac breaks and were finally beaten 20-7
 They took the lead in five min- uteS of the first period when NookJ Powers intercepted one of Vic Bay locks passes and raced 65 yards for a score, whereupon Serjienke converted. That was the way it wa at the end of the half.
 Loose Ball
 A tumble recovered by EkenberrJ set the Blues going in the third pc. riod and Baylock finally crashed over from the one-yard line to knot the count. A little later Joe Hdgret fell on a loose ball on the g anc Joe Cottone scampered behind per. feet interference for the score tc make it 13-7. When Eddie Waltmar intercepted another pass in the last four minutes of the game, the Blue. put it on ice. But not until they had given the fans and themselves onl of the worst frights of tbe season.
 Ability of the Rams of Albie Booth to beat the Manets of Quincy or their home field in Greater Boston last week, indicates that the ex- Yale ace has brought his team along in great shape. They are coming here bent on evening up the count and 6 thrilling hard-hitting battle is on tap.

RECORD CROWD
 TO SEE NAvY'S GAME WITH PENN
Expect 74,OOO at Franklin Field Saturday; Bitler
 Back for Action

Philadelphia. October 30-Navy's powerful football team, unbeaten but tied by Harvard, will meet Pennsylvania's undefeated eleven on Franklin Field Saturday after noon before a capacity crowd of approximately 74,0O0, in one of the outstanding gridiron games of the day. The kickoff is scheduled for 2 o'clock.
 Before the game half of the corps of Midshipmen, 1900 in num- Der will parade into the field, go through their formations and march to their seats in the north stand of the stadium. Both teams enter the game with enviable records, Pennsyl- vania defeated Harvard, Yale and Princeton on successive Saturdays. the first college to perform the trick in the history of football. Last Saturday the Red and Blue scored an easy victory over Mary land.
 Navy, with it's goal line unsullied by touchdown, defeated william and Mary, West Virginia, Lafayette and Cornell before it's scoreless tie with Harvard. Only two points have been scored against the Mid- shipmen this season, Lafayette getting them on safety.
 Vets To Go
 Navy has a preponderar1ce of veteran materials with five of last years starters expected to oppose the Red and Blue at the opening whistle to three for the team coached by George Munger. Bill Chewning, tackle; Vito Vitucci, guard; Lars Wanggard, end, and Bill Busik and Alan Cameron, backs, all played here last year along with three other starters who were substitutes season ago.
 Mort Shiekman, who started his only game of last season against Navy; Albert Brechka, veteran guard and Gene Davis, quarterback and blocking back, are the only holdovers on the Pennsylvania team who will start.
 The return of Don Bitler, center injured in the Princeton game, will greatly bolster the Red and Blue although 1t will be without the services of Edward Grain and Bob Hartwig, linemen and probably Bob Brunlage, fullback reserve.
