Oliver, Durette Put on Fine Mound Work; Errors
 Help Both Teams

Two hits and two errors in the fifth inning, cost Waterbury Tool baseball team and its pitcher, George Oliver 2 to 1 decision in favor of the Naugatuck Highlanders, whose Ace Durette and Oliver mixed in a fine twirling tussle that was nip and tuck from start to finish of the six inning game.

FOREIGNER PICKED
 AT FOREST HILLS

New York, Aug. 27.-tUP)-The 61st national amateur tennis cham pionships open at Forest Hills today with a bounding South American favored to become the first foreign winner of the mems title in eight years and a husky California girl an odds-on favorite to capture women'S honors.
 Francisco Pancho) Segura, the undersized Ecuadorean with the two-f1sted attack, was rated at even money to take the mems singles title and Louis Brough of Beverly Hills, Calif., was favored for the new women's championship.
 Victory for Segura would make him the first invader to carry off the crown since Fred Perry, the belting Briton, turned back Winner Allison in 1884 for repeat triumph.
 Segura's stock rose in consequence of his first grass court triumph in Longwood Bowl last week and the simultaneous disclosure that top seeded Ted Schroeder of Glendale, Calf, had suffered an arm injury in practice.

Pep-Ivy Apt To Be Biggest Betting 7
 Fight Since Bat Rap

Hartford, Aug. 27-It's like old times for Promoter Ed Hurley, what with his rushing hither and yon busily engaged in preparing for a land office business next Tuesday evening. On that night he throws open the portals at Bulkeley sta- dium to greet a bumper crop of fans who will flock to see the Ivy-Pep imbroglio.
 For. there are hundreds of sports fans who have awaited this battle of the decade pitting. unbeaten Will lie Pep and Bobby (Poison Ivy, East Side featherweights, against each other in duel that has stirred more interest than any fight since the halycon days of aBt Battalino. They hail from the same section that produced the former worlds s feather king, and both aspire to some day wear the same crown.
 Some Pick Ivy
 Tickets have been selling like hotcackes, with agencies clamoring for more day and night. Mass opin- ion favors Pep, who has won Al pro fights. But there have been iso- lated cases where Ivy has been pick ed at odds as long as 1-3 in actual betting. There was one such size able wager made and another at 2-3. Still, Middletown money - that's where Pep was born-is said to have made Willie slight favor 1te there.
 The Pep faction figures it thus: It is admitted that Ivy is the more punishing puncher, that his left hook to the body is a devastating blow. But they believe that the blinding speed and ring acumen of the spindly Pep will keep him out of reach while he is outpointing his foe.
 And on the other hand, Ivy's ad- herents acknowledge that their man is a slow starter, that Pep may carry the first three or four rounds in the bout of ten heats. But they see Ivy slowing him down with left hooks and even possibly winning on TKO.

BROOKLYNS AND PLANNERS PAIR
 FOR ONE GAME
OverIOOks and Avigs at Fulton; Both Games at
 6P. M.

Two City Amateur league con- tests are down for twilight games tonight, according to a schedule laid down at the weekly meeting held Monday night at the Central "Y".
 The league, plagued by rain all season, was forced to cancel a number of its first round games and the same will hold true in this, the second round. Therefore, tonight's contests and the pari of contests to be played Sunday afternoon will involve only the two teams who have a chance for second round honors, the Brooklyn A. c. and the Overlooks.
 The Brooks are slated to meet Mill Plain at o'clock this evening at Hamilton Park, while the Looks and the Aviglianese are booked for activity at Fulton Park at the same time.
 Sunday the Brooks meet the Washington Hills on diamond No. at 3 o'clock, while the Looks tangle with the Tribunes.
 May "Sew It Up"
 The Brooks hold one-game edge on the Looks at the present and can clinch the second round title should the Looks bow to the Avig- lianese tonight while the Brooks knock off the Plainers. Teddy Gra- beck, New Haven High Standard and Mettler Brothers star, will be on the mound for the Brooks with Mike Haiday behind the bat. Stan Heaton, the former Leavenworth high school star, or Ray Dunn will get the mound assignment from Coach Fred Lockhart, with Bill Bender catching.
 Mound Trouble
 The Looks, on the other hand, will have their collective hands full this evening with the Avigs as their standout pitcher, Bobby Malone, the former Crosby high and St. Mi chael's college hurler, will be tied up with defense work and will turn over the pitching burden to Jackie Brickel if he is not able to put in an appearance. Felix Longo will at- tend to the catching chores.
 Angelo Basile, diminutive curve ball artist, will work for the Avigs in the contest, with Phil Masi or Leo LoRusso catching. It will mark the first time in history that City Amateur league contest has ever been scheduled for Fulton Park.

United Press Statff Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 27-(UP)-De- spite war uncertainties confronting sports in general, the gridiron gods are readying the script for one of the greatest seasons in football his- tory.
 An important factor in this 1922 campaign is the brand new military and civilian respect for the grid game because of its value in condi- tioning men for modernized warfare the stepped-up tempo of hand-to- hand fighting in lightning raids and the terrific physical strain of aerial combat.
 The annual pigskin parade all ways has been greeted with nation wi1' enthusiasm by the men-and the Women-of America because of the thrilling contests it provides and because of the spectator angles the cheering sections, the gay pen nants, alma mater flowers, etc. But, for years, there has been an under current of criticism-a strong mil nority feeling that college football did more harm than good, because
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-27

1 of the evils of recruiting and sub- sidizing brawn rather than brain and because of the injuries among players and the alleged drinking among student and alumni specta- tors.
 Top Sport
 But since Pearl harbor. football has come into it's own as the No. 1 sport of World War No. 2. It has been publicized far more as a body toughener and a killer-developer than even boxing or -jitsu. The sport is particularly important from the individual psychological angle because 1t accustoms one of violent physical contact. Hence the stress being placed on football in many branches of the armed services, and the rapid shift of big-time coaches from campus to camps.
 Hence football prepares for the 1922 kickoff commanding nation al respect and admiration that it never enjoyed before. Because of this attitude-because of the appre- ciation that the game is preparing breed of Warriors-We can expect unprecedented enthusiasm among players and fans.
 Much additional sparkle will be added to the pigskin picture by the participation of hundreds of service teams-outfits that will play inter- camp games, or contests with col leges or professional elevens.
 When the dust has settled on the post-season classics on Jan. l, it would not be surprising to learn that football has contributed between $4,OO0,000 and $5000,000 to the serv- ice reliefs. Unquestionably the gates of most classics will go to these funds.
 The college game in general may suffer in class-in precision-in the nicetieS of execution, because of the shift of many third and fourth-year men to the services and to the ne- cessity of depending more than ever upon sophomores, and in some cases upon freshmen. But what the game will lose in precision, it will gain in zest and a general opening-up of play. For example, "T" formation will Le used more than ever. And the teams, being generally lighter than in the past, doubtless will de- pend more upon passing and end- running than upon power.
 IntramuraI Play
 In the general enthusiasm for football, squads at all colleges are expected to be larger than in the past, with evcn a few of the actual scholars" having a chance to make the team. And there will be an unprecedented amount of intra- mural play among the students as they toughen for war. At Maryland, for example, Clark Shaughnessy (from Stanford) is experimenting a mass football movement, aimed at producing good team and giving hundreds of lesser Maryland play CTS the benefit of pikskin training. Because of he uncertainties at tending almost every team in the land, coupld with the public en- thusiasm and increased folding money among the citizens, 1t should be the biggest betting season in grid history-a gala campaign for the bookieS.
 You'll have to get your tickets early for the important games this season, or be content to listen to the Monday morning quarterbacks-in office or defense plant-tell you how Corporal Bolonski made that winning touchdown.
