East End Com Inunity Club. sponsors of junior and senior basketball leagues starting tonight at Anderson gym, limits the junior play to 5-minute quar- ters and the seniors to 7-minute periods; with 10 minutes between halves; an excellent move in view of the physical strain on youngsters under the present rules, which are 70 percent endurance and 30 per cent skill.

Kicking Skill
 AN But Lost
By JOHN A, oLUNRY

Last Saturdays amazing exhlbls
 ton of football booting skim by c .olleee boy Billy Booe Of Yale h he Bowl; and by a high school lad,
 o-gear-old Billy Pearson of Woods Uw Wilson of Mlddletown, in which eAch player kicked 1000 (7 for Q Asainst weak opposition, serves to oolnt up two things about kicking . football In any game,
 When the kicker for point after touchdown or trying for a field goal within the 20.yard line, knows he has Q strong line to protect him, his chances are, obviously, much better just because of the feeling that he can relax e bit and does not have to hurry his kick too much. which would be the case u a hard-charging opposing line had Co be considered; especially if there was weak spot or two in the up front" wall of the kickers team. Yale rolled to ae-0 over Brown, and its very well.known Co fans and scouts that Yale has 4aatC Attlt Nh AEOlb OA blllN bVOSt the shelton boy who tries for points after touchdown, every time Yale scores, At Middletown, Woodrow Wilson rolled up 5i.6 score against Robert Fitch of Groton, so oung Pearson had little to worry About, though in 2 kicks apiece, Aither Booe or Pearson could have
 issed one or more kicks easily
 oOgh. That they didn't is a trib-
 e to the players holding the ball br the kicks and the skill of the ickers; who practice for hours on End
 Where the true skill of a kicker in football comes out is when he tries e field goal from 90 or more yards out AT AN ANGLE; and it's so tough that you seldom hear of a field goal attempt in college football just another reason why pro football is that much more interesting.

Six Unbeoten,
 United Teams

New York, Nov. i2-(UP)-Bates College and Southern Oregon College maintained their perfect records in feature games of yesterdays holi- day football card, and today Bates officials were considering a bid to play in the Glass Bowl Game at Toledo, o.
 Bates had trouble with it's tradi- tional rival, Colby, for three periods on a rain-soaked field before Fresh- man Art Blanchard scored from the one-yard line midway in the fourth quarter to give Bates it's seventh win, 6 to 0 and the Maine collegiate championship.
 Bates, Thiel, Gustavus Adolphus, and Upper Iowa have ended their seasons undefeated and united. There are i3 other perfect-record teams.
 Score Two in Two Periods
 Southern Oregon easily drove to its sixth straight win at Medford, Ore, scoring two touchdowns in both the first and final periods to defeat San Francisco State College, 26 to 6.
 At Fresno. Cal, an underdog Hawaii University team took advant- age of c blocked punt in the first quarter and scored a touchdown which gave the Hawaiians c [ to victory over Fresno State College.

The Hawaii line then opened a wide hole and Lam Ho scored standing up. Kaulu- kukui kicked the extra point and the Hawaiians fought a defensive battle for the remainder of the game.

Today's Sport Parade
By OSCAR FRALEY

New York. Nov. l2 -- (UP) -- The Los Angeles football scramble be- came a trans-continental affair to- day when Edward CSllp) Madigan of the Pros asserted that Pacific Coast College football this year Is not equal to that played In the rest of the country.
 Madisan, former St. Mary coach now is general manager of the Los Angeles Dons of the All-America Conference. His team is involved with the L. A. Rams of the Nation. al League, UCL.A. and use. in battle for patronage and playing space.
 Madigan, naturally, thinks the Dons give the people the best spec. tacle for their dough. And, If neceS- sary, he'll toss the first lateral to his pro opposition. the Rams. The colleges he'll put for the moment with the also-rans.
 Admits Improvements
 During the war, college football on the West Coast dropped to very deep low" he said. "1t Is improving but 1t certainly Is not up to the rest of the country"
 Madigan made this statement despite the fact that his club is in- volved in a itra-city survival feud. The Los Angeles Coliseum is the only arena where the two colleges and two pro team can play and they must share the site.
 Figures on western-midwestern competition this season bear out the Madigan statement. Southern California and California, two vest ern powers, have come out very poor seconds in contests with Big Nine opposition. The Trojans were belted handily by Ohio State, 2i to o, and Wisconsin romped over California, go to [.
 Yet, despite these poor perform ances, the colleges still are giving the pros more than they can handle at the gate. Madigan's coach, Dud Degroot, former pilot of the Wash ington Redskins, admitted this without 0 quiver.
 Draw More Than 102, 600
 No matter what the calibre of the college teams, they have been drawing great crowds" DeGroot said. Crowds of 60,000 to o0,O00 are not too unusual and the U.C.LA.- use. game will draw more. than l02, 1000"
 The pros, however, with their high salaries and tremendous trav- cling expenses, are having rough time of 1t. And Madigan, hunting for a fine figure which would dem- onstrate the powerful draw" of the professionals on the West Coast, had to refer to q crowd of 4s.000 drawn by the San Francisco Forty Miners.
 We simply have to sell pro ball out there, he explained. and then grudgingly referred to the 6S.000 drawn by the rival Rams and the Chicago Bears of the competing Na- tional League.
 But whether the Uclans. Southern California or any other major West Coast schools are playing ball in- ferior to the calibre offered in the rest of the nation, Madigan admits their drawing power, He also thinks the use. TTojans will come ~out on top.
 "U.C.L.A. at the moment is the outstanding ball club among the western colleges" he said. But use. has looked ike a sleeping pear and I don't hesitate to pick them to beat U.CL.A. However, 1t will take them all a couple of years to reach their pre-war levels on the coast"
 But. below calibTe or not, Slip would love to have the crowds those college clubs draw.
