GRID TEAMS SET

The weli-drilled New Haven Annex
eleven, unbeaten and united lead
ers Of the state semi-pro pigskin
parade, wind up their pre-game
preparations at Donovan Field,
Savin Rock tonight, for the next
all-important step in their match
to the state title, q clash with
the strong Bridgeport A. @. here
ct Hamilton Park Sunday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock. Fresh from their
10 to 6 triumph over the Naugatuck
Rangers last Sunday, Coach George
Sonny" Coughlin Of the Annex re-
ported today that his charges are in
tip-top shape for the next big game
on their slate.
The game will be another benefit
contest for the Sacred Heart high
school athletic association. The
meeting Of the New Haven and
Bridgeport teams here brings into
full view Of local sport fans one Of
the most bitter rivalries In state
sport circles. Neither team would
accept an invitation to play in the
other fellows park, but they did
agree to meet on q neutral field.
Thus the staging Of this four star
attraction at Hamilton Park.
The New Haven aggregation won
itself a wealth Of new followers
here last Sunday and 1t was with
great acclaim that the announce
nent Of their return to Hamilton
Park was met this week when Rev.
John Dial, principal Of Sacred Heart
high school, made the booking pub
lie.
Negro Star
The Bridgeporters believe they
have q defense capable Of stopping
"Slingin' Sammy Cannady, the
Annex swivel-hipped negro half
back, who ran rings around the
highly touted Naugatuck ends Just
as he as around every defense pur-
ported to stop him this season. With
the return Of Johnny DeFrank, run
ming guard, to the New Haven line
the Coughlinmen will be at even
greater strength tan they were last
Sunday. Lou Paneroni, former WAL
hngford Walco star, and Sonny
Luciani will start as running mates
to the fieet-footed Cannady in the
Annex backfeld.

Dixie was referring to Durocher's
statement that he wouldn't get

The fiery manager Of the Dodgers
said Monday, shortly after President
Branch Hickey had announced that
he would be retained as manager
of the team during 1914, that he
liked all Of his players but one.
"Only, he (Leo) knows who It is,
and he isn't going to say" walker

Walker referred to the mid-sea-

UNITED Press StafR Correspondent
Rye, N. Y, Oct. 29-(UP)-After
separate interviews with Don, Hut
son and Curlely Lambeau Of the
Green Bay Packers, we can state
definitely that:
ID Hutson, the Packers mighty
end, will or viii not retire at the
close Of this season.
ca HutSon has not or has worn
shoulder pads while participating
In every Packer game for nine
seasons.
(S) The Packers safety man is
Hutson or Lambeau.
We garnered these scoops" dur
ing reportorial workout with the
Packers who are grooming here at
the Westminster Country club for
Sundays game with the Giants at
the New York Polo Grounds. Dur
ing the workout we galloped past
Hutson, apparently the safety man,
and thought we were stepping over
the goal stripe for q Journalistic
touchdown, when suddenly thrown
by Coach Lambeau. We woke up
right in midf1eld.
Hutson, a lanky, soft-spoken
southerner who is generally re-
garded as the greatest pass receiver
In grid history, told us:
'I'm playing my last season Of
football. That's poS1tivel I'm quit.
ting because I've played long
enough-nine years as @ pro, four
years in college and one In high
school. I'm 80 years old; and I have
a good bowling alley business in
Gren Bay. I don't have to play
any more"
Then we encountered Coach
Lambeau, standing in the club lob
by, and sounded him for words Of
regret over Illusions planned re-
tirement. The portly pilot gave us
q quick once-over. as II estimating
our lack Of intelligence, and In
quired caustically:
"Are you kidding? Don't you know
that's an annual gag with Hutson?
why--he's been announcing his re-
tirement about this time every sea-
son for the past five years. Does he
play o guy who's ready for the ash
can? He'll retire, albright about
1880"
During our chat with Hutson, we
asked the tall fellow about his
shoulder pads. It always had seemed
to US that Don Never wore pads.
Watching In in a game, his shoul-
ders seem almost scrawny against
those Of his mates, equipped with
the big leather harnesses.
mo, I never have worn shoulder
pads during my nine years Of pro
football" Hutson said. IT 60 with.
out them for two reasons--speed
and more freedom Of movement in
reaching for high passes. No, I've
never been injured seriously without
them. I've never been hurt enough
to miss an entire game during my
nine seasons"
During our later encounter with
Lan:beau, we remarked that Hutson
must be an iron man to have gone
nine seasons without pads and with
out injury. Lambeau snapped:
"Who said Hutson doesn't wear
pads? why--he wears pads in every
game. see him put them on. Maybe
what Don meant was that he wears
soft-leather pads instead Of the
hard Leather ones. No, I don't see
anything remarkable about his not
getting hurt. On the offense, he's
always up in front--playing high.
And on the defense, he's always
back as our safety man, to protect
against passes chiefly. He doesn't
have to do much battering or tack
ling"
That's how come we woke up In
midfield.

Bill Abbott, the Giants tub
