nounced that Crosby -Wilby this year at the stadium will be followed by Crosby-Leavenworth next season and Leavenworth vs Wilby in l947
 The turkey day" game is the
 only one that has been a money
 maker, which is why all three
 schools would like to play at the
 stadium. Wonder how double
 header would work out, that is,
 morning and afternoon game,
 same as baseball?
 The current result is that each local high school football team will play at the stadium on Thanksgiy- ing Day two of every three years.
 Vic Danisayage, standout Uniyer- sity of Connecticut center and George Frantzis, Boston University lineman, will oppose each other next Saturday. Both were Crosby regulars last season, and graduated last June.
 From all accounts. Middletown's co-captain Joe Alessi, who has scored IT touchdowns for 102 points this season, will be the boy to watch Saturday when the once-beaten T1- gers oppose Techs Tigers at Munici- pal Stadium. Leayenworth's coach Bill Tracy has quite little info on him, including his height and weight which is ST and l50 pounds. Bop Daly, 189 pound center and Tec Barlotta, Middletown end, will also bear considerable watching, accord ing to word from Bernie O'Rourke'

 Marty Dwyer, reserve tackle on the 1922 Yale squad who returned to the Ellis after the season started this year, was back working out at center today after recovering from a knee injury. Art Dakos, pass singing first-string quarterback, was back in the lineup after few days in the infirmary.
 Odells charges concentrated on defensive plays in today's scrim- mage.

New York, Nov. IA. (UP)-College football was sweating out its own reconversion today and indications were that for the time being at least the day of the tough, hard bitten, top-sergeant type Of coach was over.
 Coming back to the gridiron are kids who flew fighter planes, were tail gunners in Flying Fortresses, served the big guns of the fleet and fought on bloody beaches with the Marines. And they aren't having any of this die for dear old Rut- gers" business.
 These kids can take their Jumps okay but they want to play footnan for fun-and they've had enough of sharp, stern autocratic commands.
 Vet in Background
 Coaches at Minnesota, Ohio State, Arkansas and Pittsburgh, to name d few. have had difficulty lately with dissension and player uprisings and student reyolts. It would be un- fair to say the coach was wrong in every case. But back of most Of the trouble you can find the re- turning vet, a lad who believes rightly that his Purple Heart and his battle stars entitle him to courtesy.
 These aren't boys fresh out Of high school and making their hrst trip away from the old home town. They've been aroun dplenty and, after hearing the whine of sniper S bullet or the thud of mortar shell, they figure coach is simply an- other man who should get as good as he sends.
 It probably is best explained by Lou Little, the gentlemanly Colum- bia coach who left Penn for sery- ice in World War l and returned to the campus at Philadelphia after his hitch.
 Become Men, Too
 We were a rough bunch when we came back" said Lou. Whats more we knew it, and we weren't going to let anybody shove us around. Sure, We were students again-but in the meantime We had become men, too
 So you don't hear of any trouble up at Morningside Heights where Kou's Lions have been doing 8 fine bic of roaring. He teaches sports naanghip above everything-and teaches 1t best by being a sports man to his boys.
 Bernie Herman, out at Minne- soft, is fine gentleman. But Bernie also is home from the Marines and he has been accused by several players and a number of critics Of being "too cold and distant He showed he was a great coach by 4iving the dophers six Big Ten titles R nine years, but he's stern Macher, a hard driving perfectionist.
 So Bernie in these realistic times Ms an incipient revolt on his hands.

Leavenworth High School Athletic Association and school officials are obviously pleased with the action of the Board of Education last night, which voted all-Waterbury high school games at municipal stadium on Thanksgiving Day. The big idea is to keep all of the revenue for such game in Waterbury, rather than have part of it go to visiting team such as Handen when 1t played Leavenworth at the stadium two years ago.

CRUSADERS
 ANXIOUS FOR BOWL. BID
By JOSEPH NOLAN Limited Press Sports Writer)


 Worcester. Mass, Nov. IA = (UP) -The hopeful Holy Cross Crusaders were open to suggestions today from post-season bowl bidders put their hopes were tempered oy mournful memories of other great Purple elevens that were unbeaten, united and uninvited
 Holy Cross reportedly is in line for 8 New Years Day bid either to the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans, La, or the Orange Bowl at Miami, Fla. The Crusaders have won seven straight games this season and have not been beaten in Collegiate competi- tion since November l943.
 Refiecting the colleges eagerness for an invitation was 8 statement by it's youthful president, the Rev. William J. Healy, s. J., who said he would not stand in the way of &C., ceptance if the players and their coach favored it. John (Ox) Da Grosa in his first season as the Cru saders' head coach naturally is re- ceptive to the idea of being the first mentor to lead the team to a post season tilt, and is confident his teen-agers can hold their own with the best in the nation.
 Capt. Stan Koslowski, the teams one-man backf1eld gang, also would | like to make another trip south where he trained while in the Navy, and an informal poll showed other players heartily in favor of saying ives" if bowl bidders glance in their direction.
 H. c. vs Gaels?
 Indications are that Holy Cross might oppose St. Mary's in the Sugar Bowl. Several possible oppo- nents have been suggested for the Orange Bowl encounter, and rep resentative of the Miami committee was in the stands Sunday when the Crusaders plastered Coast Guard 39 to 6.
 However, skepticism has been the watchword of the Holy Cross cam pus ever since Dr. Eddie Andersons unbeaten Juggernaut of 1897 was Snubbed by bowl pickers. When the bidders repeated their slight year later on a team that had lost but one game - a 7-6 fray with Car negie Tech = Athletic officials at the college concluded that they were fighting for a lost cause.
 Both Crusader teams were spark ed by Bullet Bill" Osmanski who promptly stepped into the Chicago Bears famed "T' formation to be- come the terror of the National Football League, and make the bowl representatives wonder if there hadn't been some mistake.
 Holy Cross figures to have little opposition from its two remaining rivals - Temple and Boston Col lege = but President Healy said the college would make no bowl decision until after the B. c. game Nov. 25.
