GARCIA-BRAND|NI STEAL THE SHOW BY CLASSY WINS
Roach Stopped By Sub for Callura; Holt Twins Lose
 tO Brandini, Lewis

Earrings did not go according to plan but the Waterbury A. c. match making department had the sec ond of its rare lucky" nights when substitutes camet through with fights as good, if not better than might have been provided by original op- ponents. Angelo Callura of Provi- dence, R. l., and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, was to have boxed Willie Roach of Wilmington, Del, in the main bout of eight rounds, but
 Callura, banged up last Tuesday night at Hartford, in hard fight with Aponte Torres, which wound up in a draw; was conspicuous by his absence last night. An 11th hour selection of Ruby Garcia, 130 pound Puerto Rican, who has de- ciSion over Roach, not two months old, turned out to be a good one, for Garcia blasted the Roach eye brow open with a hard right hand shot that left a gash wide enough to drop in a half dollar.
 Referee George Proto took one look, stopped the fight which had been all hard infighting to that point, Garcia getting the duke by the TKO route, and Roach getting Dr. Joseph Slavin who said that four or five stitches" would be needed to allow the injury to heal properly. The kayo came in the fourth round.
 Brandy" a Winner
 n,a Jipn 100 cfNnfnfd pnhhU Holt of Danbury about ten pounds, then punched his way to a hard earned win overt he Hat Town col- ored boy, who, with his twin broth CT Henry, leaves for an army camp next Monday. The boys went at it hammer and tongs with little to choose until the final and sixth round when Brandini finished so strongly that he won the nod; com pleting a fine job after conceding so much weight, for Holt is no cream puff" puncher.
 Kids Went We'll
 A couple of recent graduates from the semi-pro ring ranks, Herbie Freeman of Wolcott and Joe Thom- as of Waterbury, put on a swingeroo that was something to behold. Neither was biased with the talent of a Tunney, but how they did let the leather fly. Thomas looked like a sure winner for the first two rounds; but Freeman had the cour- age, never stopped swinging, go to Thomas in the third round and knocked him out in 2:20 for great finish. They are featherweights.
 Mike Lewis of New York, a 147 pounder, pounded out decision over Henry (Twin) Holt of Danbury, 145, in a sixer that got the show off to good start, despite a small crowd. Tom Collins, the negro welter- weight from Waterbury came into his own with decision over Jimmy Small, a New Haven colored clouter who had good last round, but not decisive enough to win the nod from Collins who piled up point lead H. the first three heats.

BINGHAM LAUDS PREFLIGHT GRID
 COMBINATIONS
Colleges Should Not Cry If Beaten By Service
 Groups

Cambridge, Mass, Oct 16--(UP) -Upsets of top college football teams by powerful service elevens this season today caused athletic Director William J. Bingham of Harvard to comment, you play your number and you take your chance"
 'The time to do your whining is before-not after-the game" he said. 'Tf a college doesn't want to consider the loss to service team as black mark against its record 1t shouldn't play them"
 Harvards opening 1S-O defeat by Chapel Hill ((N. O. pre-flight school will go into the records and "itll be there 50 years from now" Bingham said.
 As member of a committee ape pointed by the Secretary of Navy to select officer personnel for the na- tion's four pre-flight schools. Bing- ham was among the first college of- ficials to schedule game with one of them. He said he knew they were rugged and assumed all other col- leges also knew 1t.
 Bad News
 Since the season started, star- studded service teams of profession- als and collegiate veterans have taken heavy toll of the college teams. Two of the early top-rated college teams to fall to pre-flght schools were Pennsylvania and Minnesota. Saturday, Notre Dame takes a whirl at the best-Iowa pre- flight-Boston College entertains Chapel Hill
 "Our boys" said Bingham, were delighted to find Chapel Hill on the schedule. Because we had lost many veterans I asked them what kind of a schedule they'd like. To man they asked for the best teams I could find-no setups."
 Bingham said the pre-flight teams play for nothing but a win, and added that's the attitude we want to see so they'll be ready when they quit football and go after bigger uannen

C. L. P. Mixed
 League
By LEFTY

Monday night the sparsely occu- pied alleys reminded one of the main street in Glasgow on tag day. Where was everyone? Such important per- sonages as Gwen Burton, Evelyn Blankfeld, Emily Balinsky, Win De- Zinno, Nell Elsberg, oDt Whitaker, Becky Hitchcock, June Warner, Rus Sumpf, Milt Carlson and Gordon Delzell should realize that the league suffers whenever it lacks their en- livening personalities. Each is an important member and when he doesn't show up to bowl then the league falls just that much short of having fully successful evening.
 The Winnah, Me, Myself and !!
 Angie Mambruno is the leagues latest version of a victorious one man team. Angie and three aver ages took Fred Valerio's Volts over for four points.
 T guess that proves how inpor- tant the other members of my squad are," says Angie.
 Hitting His Stride
 John Devito is apparently becom- ing used to the stiffer Mixed League competition as atested by his g. string total of 377. Johns second string 154 was aided and abetted by Eileen Healy's 130 and his third string 119 coupled nicely with Eve lyn Yourks 115 to give his squad the last two games and pinfall for total of three points.
 Ain't It the Truth?
 Howard Humphries as the object of Joe Mays special gift for effec- tive heckling stood up under Joe's verbal baryage pretty well, but fate combined with Joe's disconcerting vocal efforts to give Howard a bad night. Howard did more chopping than an Oregon lumberjack. Time after time he pulled skillfpl and courageous shot to come out of 6 bad hole, in which couple of suc- cessive chops had left him, with ar eight or nine box. He couldn't get 8 break, although no one can say he wasn't trying.
 But SO callous is mans inhumali- ity to man that the more Howard chopped the louder and more merry grew Joe Mays guffaws. How cruel and heartless can an otherwise kind and gentle individual become when occupying the role of ones bowling opponentl

Proving that there is something in this bet ter half" theory, Alice May got higher first and a higher third string than did spouse Joseph. Just to keer peace in the family she held back on her second string. Eileen Scoop Healey rolled one of those reversible scores, .3o3. T did it deliberately tc obviate any possibility of the score keepers making a transposition, ? said Scoop who certainly can sling language. filling G. West apparently had the same idea. His scores were 77. 88 and 88.

Constantine, Ivy Signed
 For Hartford Tuesday

Hartford, Oct. IS = Lulu Cos tantino of New York and Bobby (Poison) Ivy of Hartford, both thwarted in their last attempts at victory in the ring are hitting the road back, they both hope, in a Tuesday figh headlining boxing show at the Hartford Auditorium.
 It will be the first bout, a ten- rounder, in a series of three slated for the New York East Slider. For he meets Frankie Rubino, October 31, at Ridgewood Grove, and Frankie Carto, November g, at Phil adelphia. Thus will Costantino, who failed to wrest the crown from Chalky Wright's head try to hit the comeback trail.
 Ivy, Hartford's East Slider. is making his second start since drop ping a TKO victim, before Willie Pep's failing fists here. He failed to make the grade against Mike Ratta in Pittsburgh three weeks ago.
 But he has been known to have promised to make this fight one of his best. He's going to shoot the works, no less. for he realizes that if he loses to Costantino he'll be all but washed up.
 As has been his custom since joill- ing Pete Reilly's stable, Bobby Ivy is training in New York, where Dan Florio is grooming him for what may be the pivotal bout of Bobby's boxing career.
 The local boxer started training at the Charter Oak gym here last week and shed some excess pound- age before leaving for Gotham and Stillman's gym.

About 20 Being Exomined
Each Day in New York
For Hozordous Task
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.


NEW YORK, Sept. 25-They are
windjammer sailors,
yachtsmen who used to sail the
summer seas for pleasure, into the
Coast Guard for dangerous ofshore
patrol duty. Enlistments are pro-
crossing at the New York Yacht
Club at smart pace.
Before the day of steam in the
romantic era Of canvas and hemp
when American frigates out
maneuvered and outgunned enemy
warships and when Yankee clip
pers were queens of the seven seas,
oaken ships and iron men was the
national maritime slogan.
Now in mechanical age once
again comes the call for iron men
to serve as officers and crews on
craft propelled by sail. 1t comes
from Uncle Sam via the Coast
Guard. 1t is no empty summons.
They have been asked to enlist for
of1shore patrol in weather fair or
foul.
1t means service on the front line,
marine front line that easily can be
as hazardous as duty in the forward
trenches on land. In the very act OF
enlistment these men accept the
hardships and rigors of Atlantic pa
troll and in event of not unlikely ne
cessity will sacrifice their lives.
This call is being met in the en-
listment Offices in West Forty
fourth street.-the New York Yacht
Club. Here is located the Coast
Guard Committee for the Procure.
ment of Yachts and Personnel, which
holds session every afternoon. This
committee is headed by the we'll
