Kramer; Parker | Nucleus ofU.S. IDauis Cup Team
By NORMAN MILLER United Press Sports Writer)

New York, Nov. 1.-(UP) Jack Kramer, Americas singles cham pion, and Frankie Parker, both veterans of international competi- ton, headed Q six-fnan U. s. ten- his team today which will attempt to wrest the Davis Cup from Aus tralia in the challenge round at Melbourns, Dec, 26, 27, and 28.
 The American, team, which also includes Ted Schroeder, Gardnar Mulloy, Billy Talbert and Tom Brown, was named last night by playing Captain Walter Pate, and the selections were more or less as expected except for Brown.
 Brown,a youngster, was chosen on the basis of his fine showing at the England matches in Wimbledon and in the national singles at Eor- est Hills, N. Y, in September when he upset both Parker and Talbert. Previously, Bob Falkenburg of Hol- lywood, Cal, had rated ahead Of him in the national rankings but Brown was chosen on the basis or his quick rise to prominence.
 All Set
 Kramer and Parker, the only holdovers from the last Davis cup team which lost the historic mug to the Australians three matches to two in 1889, are slated to compete in the singles matches while Kra- mer and Schroeder probably will be paired for the doubles.
 Kramer and Parker each won a singles match from Adrian Quist in the 1889 challenge round but each lost to the No. Australia star, ambidevtrous Jack Bromwich. Kramer, teaming with the late roe Hunt, dropped the doubles match to Bromwich and Quist.
 Australia's captain, Harry Hop man, was expected to use Brow wich and Quist again in both the singles unless a tennis elbow forces the handsome Quist to with draw. In that event, the other Aus tralian competitor probably would be Dinny Fails or Godfrey Brown

 Keen Foes

State championship boxing hon. ors for the l60 pound middleweighi class will be at stake tonight, when Art Tatta, hard-hittlng New Ha- vener who has stopped iB of % op- ponents; and Billy Walker of Say brook, recent 5-l underdog winner over Charley (KO) Chaney of Bal timore, meet at the state armory.
 Both boys have been in hard training for the past two weeks, as a victory means much to both, par ticularly Walker, who has defeated the strong K.o. kid from Baltimore, Charley Clancy Those really fami- liar with the ability Of both boys, Tatta and Walker, look for a ding dong scrap all the way, with a knockout quite possible by either boy, as they are exceptionally hard punchers.
 The local fans who have Q little money riding on many bouts, are bit non-plussed on this one, as they have seen very little of Tatta, and are inclined to "lean" (but not too far) toward Walker, who boxed at the Municipal Stadium last Sum- mer, and especially since his un- looked for win over the formidable Chaney. Tatta is an ET.O. war vet- eran, with several decorations in- cluding a Purple Heart, 6 times wounded), while Walker is an ex- sailor; so it's an Army-Navy fight, too.
 Belt for Winner
 Larry St. Louis, well-known West End sportsman and business man, will present a championship belt to the winner of the ten-round state title battle.
 Ernie Griffin of Hartford and Tony Gillo of New Haven are pair ed in an 8-round semi-flnal bout that may develop Into some real ring entertainment from start to finish. Gillo, who has a win over Griffin, has been stopped prior to that by eyebrow cuts, but he has never been counted out, and is a dead game fighter who never stops trying to land that Sunday" punch.
 TabbO tO Show
 Bridgeport's Howard Johnson and New Haven's George Slate are pair ed in one of two Ground bouts, with Enos Tabbo, Okhlahoma Indian youngster, who showed on the Vi- geant-Singleton card in a bristling draw ina six-rounder with Danny Butler of the Bronx, N. Y.
 A four-round opening bout be- tween Billy Walsh of Bridgeport and Young Marine of Waterbury completes the card, which will get under way at 830 P. M. as usual.
 All boxers were scheduled to weigh in and take physical exams this afternoon, 9 P. M., at Mulli- gan's Restaurant, under the super vision of local inspector Frank Brickel and Dr. Joseph Slavin.

Dartmouth ..Underdog Against Yale
tBy United Press)

The Dartmouth Indians, who struggled for 52 years before they were able to sink their tomahawks in Yale, will be back in New Haven Saturday Co celebrate the football occaslon-or at least they hope to.
 The game, expected to pack the New Haven Bowl, will be the top. ranking contest on the programs of the Connecticut colleges which calls for Coast Guard and University of Connecticut, at storrs; Wesleyan ands Haverford, at Middletown, while Trinity relaxes on an open date.
 The Dartmouth-Yale anniversary encounter, on the basis of wins, losses and other available statistics, should be a conquest for Yale.
 Eli Record Better
 The Elimen have won three of their five games, tied one, and lost the other to Columbia 28-20. The Yalers have tallied l3S points, and kept their opponents to only b2.
 Dartmouth, meanwhile lost three of its five tits, turned in b5 points for themselves and allowed l06 to go to opponents. When Columbia played the Indians they did bet- ter job than on Yale--33-l3. Also, in the past three weeks the DartI mouth eleven has been knocked over in two-fgure scores by Penn and Brown, besides Lou Little'S Lions.
 Levi Jackson, Yale's touchdown king, will be a menace to the 1n- dians, who also will remember young Art Fitzgerald, the ex-Notre Damer who was transferred to Yale last year in time to make Q third- period touchdown to win the game 6-0.
 Wesleyan After Fifth
 Undefeated( and united Wesleyan invites Haverford into its lair for what should be a fifth consecutive win. The Wesmen have Q high rate ing of ability and power and fast working backheld combination.
 The meeting of the Connecticut Huskies and the Coast Guard Ca- dets will be a tough one for both teams. With Quarterback Sid Waugh still laid up with injuries from the Harvard game the Cadets were somewhat handicapped, although substitute Al Binder, an in-the- groove passer who gave Yale a worrisome third period last week, will again carry on. The Huskies brought up a couple of reliable players from the Jayvees to support the line and backf1eld.

Baseball Draft Todoy

Cincinnati, Nov. l--(UP)-Base- balls most celebrated "grab-bag" event, the annual winter player draft, in the offices of Commis- sioner A. B. Chandler, with Major League representatives prepared to pluck the likeliest candidates from a batch which talent scouts called one of the poorest crops in years"
 The New York Giants, sorely in need of players, got first choice be- cause of their last place finish in the National League. The Phil- adelphia Athletics, cellar team in the American League, received sec- ond choice an dthe seventh place clubs were next with the same pro- cess in effect until the pennant win ners make their selections.
 Chandler, listed more than 800 players on the rosters of three tri- ple-A circuits, the Pacific Coast, International League and Amer ican Association, who are eligible to selection at cost of $l0,000 ea.h. Players in lower classified tions may be drafted at prices rang ing from $7,500 to $2,o0O each.
 Slim Chance
 An estimated 5000 Minor League players in all were available but as usual in recent years only a few were expected to catch the eye of big league manager, even at bar gain basement prices.
 There was time when clubs fre- ouently picked out the name of a rising young star from the draft list and took quick picks on him at the established prices.
 The rise of the farm system changed all that. The big-leaguers now protect their brightest pros poets from the draft by moving them up the ladder. until they are ready for the big show.

THE GREAT BOOK

There are many readers
of The Citizen who con-
stantly resolve to improve
their minds by the reading
of intelligently writ n
books, in the hope that they
will become better equipped
to understand the many is
sues that crowd them as
they try to keep up with this
modern world.
The impulse is good and
worth following but, very
often in our search for the
new, we have a tendency to
overlook the value of the
old. For this reason, we take
the liberty of reminding our
readers that, under all mod
ern isueS, however express
ed, human nature asserts it
selft much the same as it
did In years gone by. Conse-
quently, the basic study for
us is human nature and the
solution of modern troubles
is improved human beings.
BY general consent of al
most all mankind, the Bible
is recognized as preeminent
in the field of human nature,
possessing the fundamental
guides to improved human
conduct. 1t might be a good
idea, then, for all of us to
give a little more real study
to the great truths set out in
the Book of Books, the
Bible.
