COMEDY DANCERS
 BURLESQUE BEST
Larue and Carroll Steal Thunder From PeelerS
 and Laugh PrOvOkers

A knockabout comedy dance team, Larue and Carroll, steal the little thunder which accompanies this weeks burlesque show at Jacques theater. The strapping man and tiny girl really do knock about the stage and though the former is weak trying to be comi- cal, he's strong as an OK physically and losses his diminutive partner as easy as fork does spaghetti and winds up a fair act in blaze of glory.
 Mike Sachs, a comedian from the old school, and his elongated bru- nette partner, Alice Kennery, breeze along for a good hand now and then as does Bobby "Kewpie' Vail. Both laugh-provokers get plenty of able support from Wenn Miller, one of the best straightmen who has played here in the Ia weeks burlesque has flourished Kay Austin does two fairly good dances, though she leaves the stage on her second offering without even a nod to her audience.
 The Peelers, headed by titian- haired zonia Duval, accompanied by blonde Alyne Payne who has stripped here before this season, and red-headed Toni Mitchell, do not tear down the house, but the audience is comforted when an- nouncement is forthcoming that Hindu Nassau, Waterbury's own, an all-colored show and several other name stars will soon appear locally.
 Bob Shepard does the vocal in- terpolations this week in a repeat performance and does a bit of straightwork in novice fashion for the comedians. All in all, the show is not -tWo-three with last week.

LOOKING

I am looking through the window When the snow is on the ground All the colors of the rainbow In those snoWflakeS be found I can see it every morning I can see it every night, Being made of all those colors It always is so very white I can down Piedmont hill In the daytime many pass by, In the nighttime all is very still. The pedestrians passing, going up or down; Some have bundles in their arms, Others seem looking all around A scene that always charms. Some carry their hands beside them, Others swing them to and fro; A few carry them in their pockets, Anyway is right wherever you may go, I take just one more look All is very quiet along the busy street Some reading from book The shades of night here and must go to sleep

MARCH (By Dorothy M. Cahoon in the Boston Post . March is lusty And gusty young fellow, Boisterous and shrill, With vociferous below; Putting and blowing, His eyes all agleam, He routes Old Man Winter And sweeps the earth clean. He calls all the grasses And flowers from sleep, Reminding them of An appointment to keep Shy, wnsome April, With coquettish smiles, Soon will come dancing Down springs perfumed aiSles.

(Reg. U. s. Pat. Of.) By LACK CIJDDY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Oct. 20-(UP)-Our concept of grand sportsman is Aldo T. (Buff) Donelli, Duquesne football coach, who salvaged from last weeks welter of woe the laud- able conviction that colleges should abolish scouting of gridiron oppon- ents, at least for the duration.
 We salute Signor Donelli not merely because his suggestion is excellent and timely, but because it was born under cockeyed conditions that would have caused most pig skin pilots to use up all the crying towels in Dixie.
 Buff's conviction came during Saturdays game at Chapel Hill N C., in which the North Carolina Tar Heels beat the Iron Dukes from Pittsburgh. 13-6, snapping Du- quesne's victory string at 16 straight Such defeat was bitter itself, but the incidents that led up to it were enough to make most mentors reach for cyanide cocktail.
 Last Minute
 In the first place. Duquesne wasn't scheduled to play North Car ollna this season. The original pro- gram had Donelli's boys slated to meet Georgia Naval Training last Saturday while North Carolina op- posed Rice. But both games were cancelled, leaving the Dukes and Tar Heels with open dates. Last

BUSHNELL AT ODDS
 WITH COLCATEBO
Football Should Be COn- tinued as Long as POs-
 Sible During War

New York, Oct. 20.-(UP)-Asa s. Bushnell. executive director of the central office for eastern intercolle- giate athletics, said today that any plans to abolish intercollegiate foot ball at the end of the current season constitute an unsound policy on the part of those contemplating such action"
 Bushnelrs statement constrasted with one by President Everett Case of Colgate University saying the war would make continuation of foot ball impossible after this year.
 Bushnell declared that despite legislation to draft IS and l9-year- old students, football-and as many other intercollegiate sports as pos sible-should be continued as long as there are sufficient candidates to form team.
 He told the Colgate president in letter that "calling the present season college footballs last for the wars duration may be an accurate prophecy-but I sincerely question if it is sound policy"

CONSTANTINE IN
 INITIAL STATE
 SHOW TONIGHT.
Featherweight Contender at Hartford Against BOb-
 by Ivy; DOty vs. Suggs

Hartford, Oct. 20.-All indications point to lively, bitterly battle tonight when Bobby (Poison) Ivy of this city and Carlos Lulu) Costantino of New York tangle ir the ten-round star bout of Q box. ing show at the Auditorium herG tonight.
 For one thing, both have lost caste with their legion of admirer, in losing to the top featherweights in the game today. And both will be more or less fighting for theil flstic lives. It's the road back foi Constantine, who was rebuffed in his attempts to wrest the worlds feather crown from Chalky Wright's brow but little more than three weeks ago. Ivy is still chagrined by his loss to Willie Pep.
 And for Bobby, there is the fierce desire ito restore himself ir then iche still reserved for him ip the hearts of hundreds of local boxing fans, who have seldom been disappointed by Ivy'S ring endeavors. He's going "all out" in this one, to use his own words. Lulu will know he's been in a fight this time" ayers the usually reticent and shy Ivy. Which is a strong statement coming directly from him.
 Trainer Dan FIorio had Bobby working out with Pedro Herman dez. who is the only other boxer besides Wright to beat Lulu. For a week the Puerto Rican has been showing Bobby how he did 1t. in sparring sessions held in New York's Stillman gym. Says Florio. Ivy will probably make his usual slow start, though he may surprise you, and come in the stretch with flying colors."
 Costantino completed his work outs here Saturday and Sunday. boxing with Lightweight George Zengaras.
 Promoter Ed Hurley completes his card with three sizes and a four. Gerge (Red) Doty, at his sharpest in kayoing Al Evans g week ago, faces Oscar Suggs Of New Bedford in the semi-final.

Tuesday North Carolina athletic off, ficials phoned Donelli, inviting the Dukes to meet the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill on Saturday. Donelli ard the Duquesne officials accepted.
 Then the fun started. "Transpor- tation arrangements finally were completed" Donelli explained at yesterdays luncheon of the New York football writers. we left Pitts burgh at 11:45 a. m, Thursday. But there were floods in Maryland and Virginia. We were scheduled to ar- rive in Washington at 7:35 that night, but didn't get there until l0:45. We didn't get out of Wash- ington until 6 p. m. the next night, Friday. Meanwhile they kept telling us every quarter hour that we would be leaving within the next IS min- utes. So nobody got any sleep. At Quantico, Va, we were stalled from { to II p. m. and the boys finally went to their berths without dinner. At last we got to Raleigh, N. C., at 9:15 a. m. Saturday, and at Chapel Hill about 10:30. The boys ate, and ev- erybody was ready for a nap. But they didn't get their nap until they were on the field during the games second half, when the whole Du- quesne team seemed to go to sleep"
 Bcause the game had been ar- ranged at the last minute, neither team had been able to scout the other Accordingly, Donelli spent the first half of the contest analyz- ing Tar Heel formations and de- vising methods of combating them And his players were doing the same thing. Duquesne was leading, 6-0 at the end of the half.
 Info "POoIed'
 'Then 1t was up to me and the boys to pool our information in the dressing room and map a campaign for the secord half" Donelli said. "1 did the best I could, but guess l didn't do as good a job between halves as Jim Tatum of Carolina who is very fine coach. I don't know whether 1t was my converse tion or the relaxation between halves, but when my boys got out there on the field they seemed to be half asleep. And you know the rest.
 We got beat, but I'll tell you this. never enjoyed a football game as much in my life. And the boys said the same thing after the first half. Because it was catch-as-catch cana battle of brains, far different from playing with plans already made. The kids were out there on their own. The boys on both teams had to be doubly alert on every play. For a while. every lad was his own field general. Football played that way is tops. It really gives the game to the players-tosses 1t right into their laps.
 That's why I'm convinced 1t would be a great thing for football If scouting could be abolished for the duration, at least. It would add zest to the game and at the same time save money for the colleges I'm sure that if scouting were abol- ished for the duration, 1t would prove so popoular everywhere that the change would be permanent"

Wright vs vasquez

New Haven, Oct. 20.-Eddie Walk CT. manager of Chalky Wright, last night informed the state boxing commission that he would not put Chalky Wright worlds feather weight championfl on the scales this afternoon at the Arena, unless Henry vasquez, Spanish contender whom Wright meets in the main event of ten rounds at the Arena tonight, goes on first.
 Walker stated that he had heard reoprts to the effect that Joe Gross, manager of Vasquez, was sending his fighter in at 125 pounds, and m the event he beat Wright, Gross was going to claim the title. The champion is an odds-on favorite to win.
 However, Gross claims will not be recognized, as a title bout must be fought over the 15-round route in connecticut. But, should Vasquez come in at that weight, and defeat Wright, 1t will be quite a feather In his cap.
 No Title Go
 Matchmaker George Sneppdru stated that he had heard nothing of the storyq, but that in the con- tract it is listed as 8 non-title fgh and regardless of the outcome, Wright will still be champion. But, 1t did stir up interest among the boxing gentry and out of 1t came the possibility that Vasquez might turn the trick. Joey Peralta and Bobby Ruffin handed Wright set- backs. And, Vasquez is the popular youngster who had Willie Pep on the floor twice in losing a split decision.
 vasquez has 8 fine cord. He lost but once in 46 starts. and that was the pslit vedict to Pep. He's beaten Willie Roache twice here, and decisioned Joey Silva and Doug Radford.

mel ... Only five got into the SO class last week. Not SO hot ...
 Here's a short story. Two years ago certain guy had an average of 107. He was all set for 8 no average the next season. Instead he slipped to 97. He insisted 1t was an off year, never dreaming the year before was the off year. This year he was all set "Itsmy year I'll make up for lost time" was his boast. His current average is 87 a drop of 20 points from his good season. He has finally weak ened, we thought we heard him say once during the week that he's just an S5 bowler. But we know this guy, in his heart he will al- ways believe he Is that 1O7 bowler of two years ago and he will go on from week to week with his little S2 or maybe 90 once in a great while always hoping for that sudden reversal of form so he can go to Boom Boom, Ted, Shiek and the rest of the clubhouse boys and say "I'm back and boy does it feel like home.''
