J. LaMotto
 Busy Boxer
Especial to the Democratl

|
 New York, Nov. 11-goxing on an average of better than once a month during 1943, Jacob LaMotta, Bronx mi0dleweight who clashes with the veteran Pittsburgher Frit2ie at Mad ison Square Garden Friday night, has established himself as the No. l man of all the middleweights in ac- ton today.
 His record for 43 is truly impress slve. Starting off on Jan. l, LaMot- ta travelled out to Detroit where he repeated previous tory over the highly-touted Jimmy Edgar. So strong an attraction is the BronXite in Detroit that six of his fights this year have taken place in that city.
 After the Edgar fight, he came back to New York where, at the Garden, he deflated the reputation of California Jackie Wilson whom he widely outpointed in ten rounds.
 Beat Robinson
 The next four figh s for LaMotta took place in the auto city. First he disposed of Charley Hayes, a good local middleweight, via a knockout in six rounds. Then he turned in one of the most sensational upsets of the year, defeating Sugar Ray Robinson in ten rounds and having Robinson close to a knockout. It was the only defeat ever suffered by the Harlem sharpshooter who is now sergeant in the Army.
 Three weeks 'ater the two met in a return bout a! l this time Robin son nosed out LaMotta though again Sugar Ray was on the floor. The Detroit promoters then brought in the Cleveland light-heayyWeight Jimmy Reeves, to face LaMotta but Reeves was halted in six rounds.
 Ossie Harris was the next LaMot- ta victim, in Pittsburgh, Tony Fer rara was stopped in six heats at Cincinnati, and then came two fights with Ziyic in Pittsburgh. La- Motta was awarded the verdict in the first encounter, and the fans protested, Zivic reversed the decision in the rematch and this time the fans hoWled even more vociterously,
 On Sept. IT LaMotta went back to Detroit to hand Jose Basora a drubbing and in his last start, Oct, l, in Philadelphia Jacob knocked out Johnny Walker in the second round.
 Now LaMotta's back in the Gar cen Friday night for his rubber match with ZiVlc,

YoIe Worried' Over Princeton

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 11-AS the Yale football team went through a spirited drill this afternoon for the game Saturday in the Bowl against the Tigers of Princeton it was evi- cent that Coach Howard Odell had she!ved all defensive measures and would send his Bulldogs into the fray with the singular idea of out scoring the Orange and Black.
 All this week the Ellis have concen- trated on offensive and the plan calls for Raymond (Scooter) Scussel, Bob Pickett and youthful Tommy Scannell to do the ball carrying. In addition to that the Blue team spent cons 'derable time polishing its aer- ial attack with Scussel and George Egan, who will probably get the call at the wingback spot, doing the flinging.
 Worried?
 The Eli camp admitted that there was considerable worry over beating the Tigers who have shown a rath- CT porous defense in the games that they have played to date, but at the same time have plenty of SCOT ing punch.
 The starting lineup of Yale will include only two meE who have been able to fulfill an opening assignment in every game-Blake Walker at quarterback and Macauley Whiting, guard who has been named as acting captain for the Princeton tilt.
 John Prchlik. the Bulldogs fresh- man tackle who has shown up so well, returned to the squad today and engaged in heavy work for the first time since the Brown game last Saturday in which he received a leg injury.
 Odell d,d not contemplate any changes with the exception of Walt Brown, c regular, but knee injury victim a month ago, who will also be back in the lineup replacing Dick Stock at right end.
 Ed Strype, tackle who serves as the after touchdown man for the Ellis, spent a considerable portion of the afternoon practicing the place. ment boots and although a high scoring game is anticipated, win or loss for the Bulldogs may hinge on his right foot.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-11-11

Quite tackle in his high school, college and professional football days; when he performed with the Crosby, Manhattan, Calvin A. c. and Danbury Trojan lines, "Tipper" is still doing his bit as 8 line coach, helping out his friend, Coach Tom (Pinter) Pur- cell of Wilby, who has seen his Wildcats win four straight games and may add a fifth victory at Shelton Saturday. Wilby has shown sharp improvement in re. cent weeks despite losses to the armed forces; Johnny Padaigas being the latest to leave. As for Conley's coaching, it is apparently as good as his playing and he was g terrific tackle in his heyday, which lasted for several years.

Bulldogs, Tigers Soccer Saturday

New Haven, Conn, Nov. II - The Yale soccer team of Coach Walter Leeman will meet the Princeton booters Saturday afternoon at 2 on Coxe Field as a pre-game attraction to the Yale Princeton football con- test in the Bowl
 To date the Ellis have captured four games-defeating Brown, Coast Guard Academy, Trinity and a group of sailors from the H. M. s, Saker-while losing to Dartmouth by to 2 margin two weeks ago.
 Tied for scoring honors on the Bulldog team are Rowle Deland and Carter Furgeson. both of whom have garnered three goals.
 Last year Yale and Princeton played to tie.

Connecticut Semi-Pro Gossip

Games Sunday
 Meriden Contelcos vs New
 Haven ApneX at Waterbury.
 Naugatuck Ranegrs vs Bridge
 port A, c. at Bridgeport,
 Middletown Blackhawks vs
 Meriden Rams at Meriden.
 Hamilton park will again be the scene of the No. attraction of the coming weekend in state semi-pro grid circles when the highly touted Meriden Contelcos come to town for their along awaited crack at the high flying New Haven Annex.
 The Annex gained plenty of pres- tige last Sunday in handing the New Britain Triangles their first defeat. The New Haveners won 19 to 0, 1t being the first time this season that the New Britain goal line had been crossed in five games.
 "Tarzan" Radune, New Britain Triangle right end, turned In a bril- liant game at his wing position against the Annex. He was in on every play and won the favor of the fans among whom the consensus was that he is the best to show here this season.
 Connecticut's major" grid aggre- gation, the New London hDiesels, starring Lieutenant Clark Hinkle, former fullback of the Green Bay Packers, are being sought as oppo- nents for the Annex here Sunday November 2lst.
 Judge Eddie Hart. dean of Con- necticut grid officials, refereed the Annex Triangle game here last Sunday and was quite surprised at the big turnout for the semi-pro contest in spite of the high school game being played the same after noon at the Stadium.
 The Annex backfleld of Lou Cal amite, Ripper Petela, Bill Pan nerone and Sammy Cannady are getting better to watch as the sea- son progresses. All four can run, kick and pass. No wonder Coach George Coughlin has a winner under his wing.
 The Contelcos are the most i'm proved team in the state according to Referee Joe O'Connor. Joe off, ciated in the last two games in which the Meriden outfit held the Naugatuck Rangers to a 7-7 tie and then beat the Rams in the city championship series to 6.
 Sundays game between the An mex and Contelcos has been set for 3 o'clock starting in order to give the fans time to witness the Arm- istice parade and still be in time for the kickoff. One of the biggest crowds of the season is anticipated.
