ODELL'S YALES
 FACE ACID TEST
New Coach Will Be "King" If Charges Can Stop
 Powerful Penn.
By United Press

Yale University's football team, victorious in its first game under a new system and new coach, meets powerful Penn at New Haven to- morrow and if the Ellis win, then Howie Odell will get more publicity than Wendell Willkie.
 The opening game against Lehigh apparently doesn't count in the eyes of the Eli rooters. Even though it was a big victory, the fans want a victory over big time opponent. Years of sorrow can be ended to- morrow If Yale can overwhelm George Munger's Penn eleven.
 Coach Odell today disclosed he would use a freshman guard on his starting team. The recruit is Tom Smith, and he'll replace George Ru- bel.
 Both teams held workouts in the bowl this afternoon.
 Other Games
 Elsewhere on the Connecticut football front:
 The first of the big intrastate games between Connecticut teams start tomorrow when Wesleyan meets the University of Connecti- cut eleven at Storrs.
 Wesleyan still is shooting for its first victory after two straight de- feats, while Connecticut has won one and lost one.
 Connecticut was favored in this tilt.
 The U. s. Coast Guard Academy eleven, victorious in its first two games, tackles Colby at Waterville.
 Trinity has an off day.

He did very well in rehearsal, intercepting every time we tried to throw it. I became so satisfied with this particular piece of strategy, I decided to give hm some blocking so that we could run the ball back for a touchdown on the intercep- tion.,
 Came the ball game and we waited hungrly. Finally, Ten nessee threw the oakland hit my boy right in the face with it.
 Since that tme the draft has revealed number of peculiar things about my football team.
 Two of our boys thought the Maroon and Gold of Boston Col lege was the same as the Orange of Tennessee. They were as col- or-blind as they could be.
 They also thought that our jer- seys and our gold colored pants and the football were all the same color and wondered why we didn't use some deceptve plays with the hidden ball
 Yes, sir-any more of this and m start crying.

RICKEY WOULD TRY HAND WITH PHILS

Hickey conceived the farm idea in 1920 to keep more affluent clubs from outbidding him for players found by his scouts or otherwise recommended to him.
 B. R. doesn't want to leave St.. Louis, his long, established home. He didn't want to leave the Car dinals = his family. He was the brain of the world champions.
 If he remained in baseball, he would prefer the Phils to the Brook lyn Dodgers.
 "That Philadelphia job would challenge my zest." he beams, "and I'm going to die with my boots on. I'd take the job for nothing"
 Above all, Rickey, a major &C., tive in France in World War I, would like to find a war job in which he could help keep things moving.
 Meanwhile, he will devote most of his time to being head of the War Bonds sales drive in Missouri, while raising tomatoes on his modest farm at Clayton, near St. Louis.
 Branch Rickey won't be out of baseball long.
 The most constructive man in the game has done too much for it.

Wright, Feather Champ,
 At Hartford, Tuesday

Hartford, Oct. 9-PerhapS the most underrated fighter in the ring today is Chalky Wright-up to the time he successfully defended his crown against the comparatively youthful Lulu Costantino, anyway.
 Champion of the featherwelghts of the world, he was ripe to be picked by Lulu in the eyes of many of the fistic world. But the clever Charlky, said to be Mexican born in Durango, Mex. astounded his de- tractors by not only going the full l5-round route but also copping the duke without a doubt.
 The cigar smoking Chalky has been booked by Promoter Ed Hurley to fight Carlos (No-No) Cuebas, Puerto Rican featherweight knig, in a ten-round bout at the Hartford Auditorium next Tuesday night That duel heads a program or fiVe fights.
 Not only does Wright go contrary to accepted training standards by smoking those long cheroots of his, but he also is 0 fun-loving individual whose particular delights are sporty cars and crap-shooting. Which have managed to keep him broke.
 Optimistic
 But his extravagances bother him none ct all. There's more money where that other came from is his smiling reply. So far he's been able to prove Just that despite the fact that he Is far beyond the years when the average fighter quits. For he is yariouSly estimated to be anywhere from sS to a years old. If Chalky knows he won't tell. And his man. ager. Eddie walker, claims he doeS- mt really know. Says Eddie, "He was 90 whtN I started managing him i've years ago. If he doesnt stop being thirty soon, I'll have tho law on hlfn."

Crosby's badly-beaten football combination. which has yet to score touchdown after games with An conia and Torrington, went to Bridgeport this afternoon for tus- sle with Eddie Reilly's Central high combine, always a tough team to beat on any field. though Crosby pinned their collective ears back last year 18-0 at the local stadium. Coach Bill Schof1eld has moved all- city end, Hank Fasanelli to tackle post to make room for promising Georgie Reardon, and has made sev- eral other changes in his lineup, in an effort to put together a scoring combination.

Breach Is Not Due To Money Dispute, Says Champs Brain
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

St. Louis, October g - Samuel Breadon explains that he did not feel he could obligate himself to another $50,O0O contract in these uncertain times, but Branch Rickey says that is not the true story of why he left the tremendous St. Louis Cardinal organization he founded and built.
 "In no respect did my staying with or leaving the Cardinals have anything to do with any financial consideration" asserts the 61-year-old originator of the farm system.
 Under the present setup, Sam Breadon hasn't got, and couldn't raise, enough money to keep me"
 Switching from the Browns, Hickey took over the Cardinals in the spring of 1917, following the Federal League war, and when the St. Louis Nationals represented little more than the franchise. The club was in last place. There were no players of consequence. The out fit was $175,000 in debt.
 Rickey took over with a "Save the Cardinals for St. Louis" move ment. There were 600 stockholders, g directors.
