Despite the limited seating capa- Fcity and the high cost of the in. augLlral card, Promoter George Mul. ligan Tuesday announced that there will be no raise in prices for Thurs day nights boxing card at Buck i1gham Hall.
 However the promoter pointed out that reserved seats are going at such a rate that officials of the Water bury A..C. have been dusting off the S. R. O. sign. Reservations may be made at Mulligan's Restaurant 16 Phoenix avenue.
 Two eight round middleweight contests, featuring fighters of prov en ability, have been arranged, one of which will pit Jerry Fiorello, hard hitting Brooklyn middleweight, with Larney Moore, Valley Stream, L. T., 152-pounder. ,.,
 Worello made hit in losing a questionable decision to Indian Gomez several months ago while Moore walked two sensational bat ties with the Cuban, getting draw and a win in the two bouts.
 But it is doubtful if even the at .tractiye Moore -Fiorello scrap will take the spotlight as Sonny Horne, widely publicized Niles, Ohio, mid- dleWeight, has been signed to ap- pear against Oscar Suggs, hard hit ting Newport, R. l., 152-pounder, in the second eight round feature bout.

 Pops rise has been phenomenal for fighter. He fought in . star bout for the first time last January. Nobody paid much attention to him here at that time because Bobby Poison" Ivy was the big, shot fight CT in the city.
 In fact, they're telling the story that last winter Pep became infur- lated at the lack of attention he was getting while Ivy was getting it all that he packed up his bags and left with couple of friends for Flor~ ida.
 Manager Lou Viscusi got him back. after several days, after giving Q promise that Willie would get more chances to fight.
 Since that time, Pep has leape0 forward without halt. All his bouts have been won without dispute, many byb knockouts-51 victories In row as a professional.
 He fought Ivy here few weeks ago, and knocked him out in the 10th round after showing his Supefa lority in every one of the ten rounds. Local fight fans were amazed aN Pep's progress in ring craft from one fight to another.
 Pep has defeated Pedro Hernan1 deg, Abe Denner, Joey Archibald and Vince Dell'Orto, among others, ag by mile. After each fight, his ops oonents would say the kid was the coming champion.

-erryville, Oct. 7.-Joe JablonoW- ski, coach of Terryvilel high school athletic teams, announces that Terryville high will be represented by basketball team this winter, but that efforts to fill the sched- ule is meeting with little success.
 Although he Is anxious to arrange ten or twelve game schedule he has succeeded so far in booking but four games, home and home series with Watertown and Thomaston high schools, two of Terryville's ancient rivals.

 New York, October '. - (UP) V Out of Hartford, Conn, comes the deadliest young dynamiter the featherweight division has known in years. His name is Willie Pep though he was born Gugnermc Papaleo, and he is far more ef- fective than if he were breakfast food better = which he is not.
 Willie Pep has belted his way to a featherweight title fight with Cham pion Chalky Wright at Madison Square Garden, November 20. And when young Pep steps into the ring, he will be favored at about 2-1.
 Confident
 Pep, who has registered 51 straight professional victories, is confident that he can wrest the feather title from Wright, the ancient Los An- geles Negro who is making his third defense of the title. Pep is positive for reasons of youth, zing and punch.
 Willie is good purcher = in fact one of the greatest feather punches the division has known in years. He can belt an opponents brains out with either hand. He demonstrated that explosive ability recently at the Garden when he knocked out Frank Franconeri of Bayonne, N. J., in the first round.
 Young Pep hopes to bring to Hartford the same featherweight crown that was worn by two other residents of the Insurance City Kid Kaplan and Bat Battalino.
 Willie the- Walloper was attending high school and fighting as an anna teur when his father became i'll and his mother had to go to work to feed Willie, his 14-year-old sister l and seven-year- old brother.
 Willie says. T left school to get a job as a stockboy in a wallpaper place. I didn't like it, so I decided to turn pro. But before that hap i pened fought one for 50 dollars, as an amateur and for $10O an- other night. It all seeemed like a miracle getting that kind of money for fighting. But it wasn't long be- fore I was getting more."
 Young Pep advanced rapidly. He lad what it takes = a deadly punch plus unusual speed afoot and in ooxing technique.
 Hartford Willie made money. He iays, T bought my folks a house. Now I'm going to see that the 'ounger kids in my family get an 'ducation. Sure - I got a gal, but I'm not planning on marriage. I want to make all the money I can or my parents before I go into ervice = which surely will"
 Hit and Run
 Willie Pep is one of the most pe- uliar fighters the ring ever has .nown. He is a "ilit-and-run" bat Ter. He moves in and throws a lunch with either hand that will mock one groggy - and then darts way Many of the men he hits with hat first punch go out completely. Others come staggering back for 1 nore. But he assures, "once I hit Id man Wright, the fight will be I nded. Because he's too old to take hat throw"

'COLCATELOOMS !. AS BEST AMONG

Defeated Cornell But Has Dartmouth Ahead -
 Georgetown ''H0t'

 New York, Oct. 7.-(UP)-Featur ling blinding speed and bushes.
 blocking, Colgate University loom!
 today as candidate for easterr
 collegiate football honors and face.
 the prospect of winding up the sea
 son as the sections only undefeat-
 ed team.
 The Red Raiders of the Chenangc
 are blazing hot after two victories
 and, although the road will be
 tough, Andy Herr has ample mater ial to overpower the worthy oppo- sition.
 Penn and Duquesne appear to be the strong teams among the others, with Dartmouth, Boston College, Georgetown, and Army prominent darkhorses.
 The Red Raiders have shown all that could be desired in sweeping over St. Lawrence, 49-0, and then turning in a convincing 18-6 win over Cornell. Dartmouth is next on their schedule and then come Duke, Penn State, Holy Cross, Columbia, Syracuse and Brown --all distinct threats. but apparently within the raiders range.
 While Colgate is blessed in not having to tackle one of these bub- ble-b busting service clubs, this one factor apparently threatens Duques- ne's chances of repeating its unde- feated campaign of last season. The Dukes crushed Holy Cross, 25-O, and their biggest test will con1e against the Georgia Naval team, which smothered Penn. If Duquesne can win that one--a big if--theyn prob ably repeat.
 Penn's visions of a clean record in that opening game de- feat but it upheld its powerhouse rating by topping a surprisingly good Harvard club, 1927. The game with once-triumphant Yale this weekend will be a real test.
 Dartmouth surprised in 17-6 opening conquest of Holy Cross, a good feat at any time, and then polishing off Miami, (Ohio) 58-7.
 Acid Tests Ahead
 Army and Boston College are un- tested but show fine possibilities. The | Cadets, led by the fiery Hank Mazur, l iidn't have to work hard for 14-0 | win over Lafayette, while Boston College throttled West Virginia, 33- ). More will be known of both clubs his weekend, when the West Point ITS face Cornell and the Eagles meet Clemson.
 Georgetown, too, may go the route liter flooring slow-starting Tenn ,le team, TO, and topping Mississ- ppi, 14-6.
 Fordham, after two poor demon trations, has dropped almost out of fight, but don't overlook the Rams They lack punch be- ause of line weaknesses and poor locking, but these problems might e solved to develop another rugged 'ordham crew. The upsetting factors in the east ppeared to be Pitt, Columbia, Navy, ;ornell and Holy Cross. Pitt sur- . rised by halting s. M. U. Columbia, rith Governalti pitching) always ill be a distinct threat. Navy is rapidly, while Cornell nd Holy Cross are pair who can e tough even when losing.

 Tn time of war, the athletic and physical program of an organiza- ton is of prime importance in in- creasing the potential wealth of the nation in the human resources necessary for victory. The health and strength of its men and boys is a determining factor in the ability Q1 any nation to win." It. Gen. Hugh A. Drum said recently. Tn times of national emergency 1t be- comes more important than ever, That each of us develop his own physical well being and stamina to the highest possible degree. I can think of no better way to accom- plish this end than through sports activities"
 The Victory Volunteer" program, is to be inducted providing oppor- tunity for boys to serve their coun- " through health, physical fitness. nental and hand skills, service, and leadership training. Patriotism and good citizenship are the moral ob- fectives of the program.
 One of the requisites of the new program will be physical exami- nation with definite follow up. Esalesthenics and pre-military train zas are also to be included. One of the most emphatic changes will be sa the aquatic field: The Navy slalms that each flyer represents a cash outlay of $37,000 when he is zeady to fight, but 1t is conserva- zIon of man-power for the future zaat has promoted the Navy to in- |<le an exacting nda strenuous swimming program to insure safety Is the water of its men.

 St. Louis, Oct. 7.-(UPo-The St
 Louis Cardinals, happy bunch O
 apple-cheeked kids who knocked
 over the New York Yankees four ii
 8 row, were home today, glad that
 most of the hullabaloo attendant upon the worlds baseball champion: was over.
 The Red Birds took their amazing world series victory in their stride but were somewhat alarmed by the 50,000 fans that roared a welcome when they stepped off the train last night.
 Johnny Beazley, the brash young rookie who defied precedent to win two games of the first world series he had ever seen, took a look at the crowd and summed up the senti- ment of his teammates.
 "Gosh!" he said. ''I'd rather face the Yankees!"
 George Kurowski, the blond third baseman from the Pennsylvania coal fields, was the first to step of the train. He got an earful of the uproar and started back. But four police men hoisted him on their shoulders and broke through the crowd while a band played "There1l Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"
 It was Kurowski's home run in the ninth inning that clinched the fifth and final game of the series.
 Most Runs, Most Money
 The players were herded to platform at one entrance to Union Station where Manager Billy South worth introduced them. Jimmy Brown, tough little second-baseman, got a great hand from the fans when he said:
 You see, folks, we just got the most runs and that was what we After that we got the most dollars and that was what we really wanted"
 Beazley, who intends to join the Marines soon, said he wanted to let everyone know he was "just as ;cared as Billy Southworth'' when | ne pulled his big bluff in the final l game with the Yankees.
 The Yankees then had three men 'n base and only one out. South worth walked out on the mounds md said. Johnny, are you all ,kay?"
 Sure, Billy" Beazley replied. I'm III right, but how are you?"
 T was just blufing then, he told he crowd. Honestly, I was plenty cared"
 Mayor William Dee Becker greet d the team and announced that ach man would give a pint of blood 9 the Red Cross before the team isbands today.
 But Mike Gonzales, the modest , iuban coach. holding his sobbing son, little Mike, close, i )ld the world: "He no get why thees beeg noise < nd all theese people come to St. ouis. We are the beg noise and the eople she are all here to say hello. 'e prove we are the best ball club the world" '

 The flaming haired Irishman has already defeated such top notchers as Vic Dellicurti. Van McNutt, Mil- ton Kessler and Fiorello. On the re- cent Jimmy Biyins-Tami Mauriello card in Cleveland Horne made the hit of the night in punching out a one sided win over Jimmy Mandell, who had 9 weight advantage of al- most 10 pounds.
 Mike Lucas, promising Ambridge, Pa,. Welterwegiht, and Tom Collins, local negro veteran, will square off in the six round semi final while two four round bouts to be an- nounced at the ringside will com plete the card.
