Mr.. Mike (the Pipes) Jacobson, Is
about as easy a gent to get along
with, as you would meet in a walk
from Washington to Walla Walla,
for he has smile and good word
for everyone, and is as hearty as an
oak tree. He's a little happier than
usual this week, since he had an
air mail letter from his friend Col
onel Ernest P. Novey, former mayor
Of Torrington, a prominent military
and political figure in Connecticut
for the past decade; now stationed
with the U. S. Army at Camp Croft,
South Carolina. The Colonel sends
regards to his many Waterbury
friends, hoping to meet some Of
them at the Melrose Club on his
next furlough up this way. Andy
DiPietro, the Willow street druggist,
is wasting his time telling custom
ers Of the days when he battled with
Old Man Par at the Mattatuck golf

oney that is well nigh uncanny, re-

Unbeoten New Haven, New
Britain Teams Here Sunday

BY far the most appetizing grid
iron morsel to be served up to the
fans Of Waterbury and other central
Connecticut towns and cities in sew
eral seasons, will be presented at
Hamilton park Sunday afternoon at
2:45 p. m. when the unbeaten and
united New Haven Annex and New
Britain Triangles elevens clash for
the leadership of the hectic state
semi-pro championship race. The
game will be another benefit con-
test for the Sacred Heart High
school athletic association under the
direction Of Rev. John Dial, prin-
cipal of Sacred Heart High school.
Representatives of both teams and
John Howard, chairman of the
Sacred Heart High school athletic
fund committee, met last night at
Sacred Heart hall and posted for
feitS Of 5000 each and completed
final arrangements for the staging
of the game which Is expected to
attract hundreds of out-of-town
fans especially from New Britain,
Naugatuck, Torrington and New
Haven. Eddie Hart of Cheshire,
dean Of Connecticut grid officials,
was named to referee this all-im-
portant clash with Johnny Cam
marano Of New Haven taking care
of the umpiring and head linesman
duties.
Coach jimmy Gill and Manager
Don Badolato Of the New Britain
club and Coach George Sunny"
Coughlin and Manager Maurice
'Toots'' Burke Of the Annex agreed
readily to the various plans and
were unanimous in their contention
that the officials assigned to the
clash were the best that could pos
sibly be secured for such an inn
portant game. Both sides report
thai large followings from both New
Britain and New Haven will be on
hand for the event and that several
large wagers have already been laid
on the outcome.

right halfback post.
Brown will be without the services
Of Doc Savage, captain of the team,
who will be missing from his back
field post because of leg injury
received two weeks ago. However,
in Johnny Cokefair, Stanley has a
capable replacement who was an
important cog in the defeat of
Princeton. The rest of the team
will be intact.
The loss of key men through
injuries will bring another change
in the Yale team which takes the
field and Brainard Warner, used
this season as reserve center and
tackle, will start at the pivot post
made vacant by the loss for the
season of Harry Oberhelman.

Mac Whiting and Tommy Smith
will be at their regular guard spots,
and the tackle slots will be handled
by towering John Prchlik and Ed

on the defense. Paul Walker, the
sensational yearling, will be at one
end with Vance Katherman, the
victim yof fresh mishap in which
his collarbone was cracked before
the current campaign opened, will
be at the other flank, filling in for
the injured Walt Brown.
In the rear line ranks, in addi-
ton to Scussel and Scannell, Blake
Walker will be at quarterback and
Billy Kirst. acting captain for the

Last year the Bulldogs took the
Bruins into camp by a 81 to 0 score,

they lost. In 1910 the score was Z

Brown Figured
Strong For Yale

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 5-One
Of the best Brown University foot
ball teams in the past decade is
conceded a fine chance of beating
Yale for the third time in a four
year period when the elevens of the
two schools meet (tomorrow-today)
in the Yale Bowl. The kickoff will be
at 8 p. m.
Close to 10000 fans, including
many high school children and
youth groups admitted to this con-
test annually for a nominal charge
are expected to be on hand. No other
seats will be reserved.
Although the season record to
date of the Bruins has installed
them as a pre-game favorite, the
undermined Bulldog charges of
Coach Howard Odell meet for the
first time in three weeks club of
their own calibre and a free-scor-
ing game Is anticipated.
Aerial Attack
In long practice drills this week
both Odell and Skip Stanley, Brown
mentor, have polished the offense
of their teams but in different de-
partmentS. Brown is expected to
take to the air while Yale will reply
upon its speedy backs.
The Brown aggregation is ex-
pected to make the most Of its pass
combination of Bob Babcock to Ed
Fiorentino and this will undoubted-
ly give the Ellis a troublesome after
noon as in the airlane defense this
season they have been weak.
Babcock Is a veteran who can also
run with the best of them, while
Fiorentino, a Naval trainee from
Boston College, is regarded as one
of the best pass receivers in the
east.
Brown also has in Jay Pattee, a
hard blocking quarterback, lad
who may well hold teh victory key
for the Providence outfit as in 10
conversion attempts this season he
has not missed single after-touch-
down placement.

tice sessions and is every bit as fast

Army VS.. Notre Dame, this prom
ises to be one of the toughest and
largest attended football tits in the
country this week, according to the
New York Hotel Managers, who
have been practically tearing their
hair out to find rooms for all their
clientele.
Thousands of Sports Commenta-
tors and Sports writers from the big
Metropolitan Dailies, down to the
Weekly publications, from as far
North, South, East and West as you
can see with the naked eye, will be
either attending this Stellar Sports
Attraction, or listening to it with
frantic eagerness, at their nearest
Radio, to see if the fighting Irish
from South Bend will really come
through this Baptism Under Fire
undefeated, after losing their Ace
in the Hole Angelo Bertelli.
Your reporter undecided until the
last minute, finally swayed with
that Irish Breeze, that has been
pretty strong UP until now, on the
basis of Creighton Miller, against
Glenn Davis. OF course will have
to admit that those sinkers that
angie" heaved, certainly found the
'Bullseye' in Irish paydirt this sea-
son and last. It will truly be pretty
shaky for those South Benders, not
having their All American out
there, but they won't be any more
uncertain than Army, after that 10
to 10 tie with Penn last week, that
10 is either going to be Darn Lucky,
or Just another bad break for the
Army. But looking at 1t with ! IN
one of my eyes and in another
eye, I will pick Notre Dame over
Army, just to be on the safe side.
I would certainly not like to meet
up with any of those Army fans
Penn, in my opinion will definite
ly beat the Navy, after that All
American style that they displayed
on the Gridiron last Saturday,
against an undefeated Army 'Elev-
en-. Joe Kane and Bob Odeu those
/ All American Backs for Penn, could
not be stopped by the Army, and
I don't think they will be stopped
by the Navy, it looks like a Quaker
victory, in true Quaker style.
Little Brown, as Yale would refer
to one of its Oldest rivals in Foot
ball Competition, will in your
writer's opinion prove to be very big
on the Gridiron this week when they
meet that Blue combine at New
Haven. And at Yale's expense prob
ably prove to be too big for Yale
to handle. In other words, Get your
Money Down now, on Brown to win
