.LEAvENWORTH 2-1 CHOICE
 OVER WILEY il
By JOHN A. CLUNEY


 Physically and mentally ready fo its second all-important inter-cit5 football test of the season, Leaven- worth's Tech Tigers go into a game with the Wilby Wildcats tomorrow afternoon that means the city championship if they can win 1t.
 Already 6-2 winners over Cros- by, the Tech team has been drilled hard for the Wilby game; inaS- much as Leavenworth Coach Tracy knows full we'll that anything cal happen" when Crosby, Wilby and Leavenworth tangle and it is well within the realm of possibility that Wilby, though yet to win a game could upset Leavenworth even as Tech defeated 3-1 pre-game favorite Crosby two weeks ago.
 To that end Tracy and his aides, "Jarp" ONeil and Mike Papa have had their number one problem keeping the Tigers hungry" for the game; while the Wilby Wild cats with Bill McGTath pitching passes and tackle Eddie Cavanaugh in ths backfield as line-bucker. are about set to really make their potential talent pay off in the form of victory-for a change. Wilby has lost five in a row, but is no soft tough" according to Tech Coach Tracy, who has watched the Wild cats closely in three games this season.
 Nick vs. Ed
 One of the most interesting angles of the Tech Wilby gams will be the play of LeavenworthA 200 pound Nick LoRusso against that of Wilby's Captain Eddit Cavanaugh, who has been moved from his all-city tackle post to th' backfield and his looked exception ally well as a line plunger ana ground gainer when few yards for first down is needed.
 Rush, Ahrens, McGrath ant Cavanaugh is most apt to be thu starting Wilby backfield; with Techs program to keep the Mc- Grath to Ahrens passer from being completed; as the latter compres in speed, with Crosby'S Jimmy Pickett and has broken away for several long runs to date.
 Leayenwarth has two more backs that have seen little service that may surprise Wilby in the form of Cheshire's Eddie Bowman and Dan Perillo, both of whom may see plenty of action tomorrow.
 
 Coaches Tom Purcell and Tip per" Conley were especially pleased with Wilby's play in the last two periods against Torrington; with 8 strengthened line, hope the boys can duplicate that effort against Tech, to provide the second start ling upset of the local season.
 Probable starting lineupS: WILL BY-Knight and Quattro, ends; Darlington and Smith, tackles; Codiani, center; Rush, Ahrens, Mc- Grath and Cavanaugh, backs. LEAVENWORTH - Garrasino and Santagotta, ends; Parisi and Gug- liotti, tackles; Barstis and LaLiber- te, guards; Dwyer, center; Perrone, Mikleyich, Iannocane and LoRusso, backs.

Senator Suggests Free Seruice Game

Washington, Nov. 2- (UP) - II you want to see an Army . Navy football game free in your own state, write your congressman to- day-but if you living in Wyoming you won't get your chance until 1947.
 Sen. William Langer, R, N. D. introduced a bill yesterday to make the game free to the public and to have it played in different state each year in alphabetical order.
 He said he was prompted to sug- gest the change after he found It impossible to buy tickets for serv- icemen for this years service grid classic unless he paid high prices to "scalpers."
 Chairman Edwin Johnson, D., Colo, of the Military Affairs com mittee asked Col. Lawrence (BifD Jones Of West Point to report on the situation. and hoped to have Jones report ready for submission to the the committee next Tuesday.

Just the other day at Rockingham, the thoroughbred horse track at Salem in the hills of Old Hamp- shire; two Waterbury "improvers of the breed" chanced to meet as part of a big crowd. Let's call 'en Smith and Jones. One of them, with fac- ial expression much longer than usual, was going through the mo- tions of tearing up some tickets He was MT. Smith, "longshot Larry" the boys from his Connecticut home town, Waterbury, called him. His friend, MT. Jughead Jones, taking due notice thereof, jabbed him with bit of verbal NEEDLE, in this fashion: "whassa matter, Larry, did you lose that photo -finish?" Look ing at J. J. with murder in his eye MT. Smith literally barked THAT finish? It just happens to be the third one this afternoon, and it's only the sixth race coming up. Listen, Jughead, from now on, I wouldn't bet COUNTERFEIT money on a ONE HORSE race!"

2,5OO SERVICE MEN PLAYERS BIG PROBLEM

Chicao, Nov. 2- CUP) - Major league baseball leaders, after adopt ing a general "hands off, policy dur ing the player draft, turned today to their No. 1 problem ,servicemen employment.
 Nine of the big league clubs S'passed" during the draft meeting yesterday as the other seven clubs picked nine minor leaguers worth an aggregate 62,500. Afterwards, the owners and club officials went into a huddle with Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler to discuss means of absorbing the 2,500 minor and major league players to return from the service.
 Five hundred of the servicemen are former major leaguers, explain ing why most of the clubs passed up the bargain draft prices yester- day and the Philadelphia Phillies took the one popular choice, Lou Novikoff of the Los Angeles club Of the Pacific coast league.
 New Rule
 It was considered likely that the majors will relax their player limit rule to permit additional seryicemen to remain on the roster during the season. The present player limit is as regulars plus five extra service men.
 Candidates for special assistant" to the commissioner were discussed and after the meeting Chandler told newspapermen that he leaned strongly toward Muddy Ruel, White 6ox coach whose lawyer background would add to his qualifications,
 Two former Cub players were the first two players selected in the draft. The Philadelphia Athletics, choosing first AS the American leagues tail-end club passed up Noyikoff to draft outfielder Frank pemaree. who hit .306 for Portland last season. Demaree will be 50 next June.
 Bargain?
 The Phillles then took NoylkoI for sTbO0 compared to the $10 900 that the Cubs spent on the Mad Russian" in trying to groom him Tor the major leagues. He nopped three times with Chicago,
 Noyikoff hit ,3i8 for Los Angeles last season before entering the Army, He still is wearing khaki

NOTRE DAME SLIGHT PICK OVER NAVY
BY WILLIAM TUCKER United Press Sports Writer

New York, Nov. 2-(UP)-Navy's mystifying football team, apparent ly uncoordinated and uninspired but still undefeated, meets the rampant Ramblers of Notre Dame at Cleve- land tomorrow before 85,000 fans in the classic of the season to date.
 Broadway bookmakers have made Notre Dame one-point favorite for the test of the Titans which will answer footballs two outstanding questions:
 l. Can the Navy hit its stride after season-long fumbling and sputtering and play the game of which its collection of name-tars are potentially capable?
 2. Will the Irish live up to their advance notices and sweep past the Middies to come up to their game against mighty Army week hence with good chance to upset the Cadets?
 As to the first question, reports from Annapolis on the eve of the game say that Navy has looked like a different team in practice due to the morale boost brought on by the last-minute victory over PennSyl- vania. As to the second, Notre Dame'S record canot be denied. The Irish have moved down all oppos- ition by stunning scores, although some of their foes were strictly bush league.
 Vile all eyes and ears are at tuned toward Cleveland's lakefront stadium, the football program lists a full card of games over the rest of the country with sectional riv- airy as the keynote.
 Tough One
 Michigan and Minnesota battle in Ann Arbor for the Little Brown Jug" bauble and the odds-layers are scared of that one, too, grudg- ingly giving Michigan a one-point margin. In the far West, St. Mary $ pits it's undefeated record against the Southern California TrojanS who are smarting from last week S upset by Washington. The bookies spit hairs here, making St. Mary's the favorite by one-half point.
 Columbia and Cornell collide in New York in the feature game on the eastern program, with Colum- bia ruling a 13-point favorite over Ed McKeever's rebuilt red eleven.
 Other feature games, by sections: East = Army-Villanova, Pennsyl- vania-P Princeton, Yale-Dartmouth, Holy Cross-S u b m arine Base, Brown-Coast Guard, Rutgers-Le- high and West Virginia Virginia.

PoIowitzer, MontuoIi
 Remutched

Hartford, Tov. 2 - Next Tuesday will be Election Day here, but the Hartford Boxing Club plans to oper- ate as usual that night in offering another of it's weekly boxing cards at the Auditorium.
 Bobby Polowitzer, youngest of the pro members of the fighting East Hartford family, tangles with Allie Monutoll in rematch promised right after their see-saw slugfest ot October 23. On that date Monutoli a New Yorker substituting for Can adian Frank Gravino, fought Bobby to a draw in what was probably the most exciting scrap of the year here. Almost from the opening bell to the sounding of the final gong they went at 1t hammer and tongs, though each alternately tired and called on reserve strength to see them through to the bitter end.
 Main Go
 Again they'll go eight heats, only this time it will be in the main bout. Bobby, popular East Hartford featherweight scrapper, has won most of his pro fights. He has the remarkable record of 29 victories, against thre losses and four draws.
 Their first duel had the near-cap- acity crowd in an uproar most of the way, with few fans holding their seats for long. The fans rooted, cheered and whistled, stamped their feet and hoWled with unrestrained joy over the slam-bang, bruising battle being unveiled before their excited eyes. Monutoli, who was under the mistaken impression the bout was listed for but six rounds, danced around after that frame was over and apparently thought his nights work was through.
 However, he had plenty of reserve stamina to continue the torrid bat tle through two more rounds and earned a draw decision.

ELS, INDIANS TOP EASTERN GAME SATURDAY
BY JOSEPH NOLAN United Press Sports Writer

Boston, Nov. 2-(UP)-The Yale Bulldog and the Dartmouth Indian, each trying to catch a second wind to carry him through the remain der of rugged grid schedule, clash at Yale Bowl tomorrow in a game that takes top priority among sev- en New England tilts.
 Though Dartmouth already has stumbled three times and Yale twice, their 29th meeting is ex- pected to draw the largest crowd of any of this weeks sectional bat ties. Both elevens showed vast im- provement last Saturday, Dart mouth beating Syracuse so, and Yale topping Cornell 18-7.
 The contest is rated a toSs-up with the Ellis strengthened forward wall getting its first real test against Dartmouth'S Meryll Frost and Bob Albrecht who have recovered from early season injuries. However, Yale claims psychological advantage. In II games played on Nov. 3, the Ellis never have tasted defeat, and Coach Howie Odell is hoping the lucky date holds out.
 Coast Guard, with nothing but four defeats and tie to show for it's efforts, tackles Brown at Prov idence, R. I. Even shakeups in the line and backfield by Comdr. John Merriman of the Guardsmen have left much to be desired, and the sailors will go into the game as underdogs. Brown figured to bound back hard from successive SetbackS at the hands of Holy Cross and Columbia.
 "KOs" Ready
 Riding the crest of a five-game winning wave, the Holy Cross Cru saders will be heavy favorites to sink the U. s. submarine base elev- en from New London, Conn. Capt Stan KosloWski of the Crusaders has recovered somewhat from painful leg injury that hampered him during the past two weeks and should be ready to start when the teams come together at Worcester on Sunday.
 Other Saturday pairings find the University of Connecticut playing host to Amherst at Storrs, Conn; Massachusetts State entertaining Maine at Amherst; Boston Uni versity taking on Rhode Island State at Kingston, R. T.; and Bowdoin and Colby meeting at Brunswick, Me, in an informal game that will be repeated next week at Waterville.
 In professional circles, the Bos- ton Tanks meet the Detroit Lions at Fenway Park in the third of their four scheduled home games. A triumph would boost the champion ship hopes of the Kopfmen who are atop the National Professional Leagues Eastern Division with wins, one loss and one tie.
