The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-11-02

A good many local people are wondering what constitutes the basis for the far reaching charges that the Council of Community Clubs flung at the city government the other night. In view of the magnitude of the critique and the seriousness of many of it's claims, there should be 8 pretty sound basis of facts to substantiate them, And so far as city officials know there has been no recent survey made by the Council by which it could arrive at such charges as were preferred through the col- umns of the local press. Incidental ly the reference to Cincinnati as an example of what can be done under the city manager type of government might cause somebody to resurrect that Saturday Evening Post article on Cincinnati in which the writer pointed out that whereas the city of the Tafts had certainly came a long ways from the political degradation into which 1t had fall- en, still there was feeling among some residents of the peaceful old town that perhaps it was being car- ried too far and that ultimately Cincinnati might find itself de- serted by industry and business.

New Center Market
Plans for Operation
Outlined by Owners

Although repairs are underway, it
will be at least a month before the
New Center Market, Fifth and K
streets NV, will again be in public
operation, Wootton E. Young, presi-
dent of the Washington Convention
Hall Co., Inc, the owners, said to-
day.
Mr.. Young said a temporary as
phalt roof will be placed on the
building, wrecked by fire March l
Under study is a plan to establish
automobile parking facilities for 400
cars on top Of the market. An out
door roller skating rink also has
been proposed, but Mr.. Young said
he is not favorable to this idea.
Definitely, there will be no more
bowling alleys, he said. The second
floor of the structure was devoted
to bowling.
The south second-stor wall is be-
Ing torn down, brick by brick. Mr..
Young said this is slow process,
but necessary to save the roof shell
tering the farmers who have stands
at the south end of the market. 1t
is planned to retain about 7 feet of
the second floor wall on the north
and south sides.
K and L streets NV, east of
Fifth street, which were roped off
shortly after the fire, again are open
to traffic.
Fortunately, the cold-storage
plant, on the east side of the
market, was not damaged by the
fire. Dealers have their merchan-
disc in there and are filling orders
from the plant.
Mr.. Young said he was certain
that the goal of reopening by
April l cannot be met. In the in
terim, dealers are carrying on as
best they can. One is using the back
Of hardware store and another is
operating a corner of a nearby
wholesale meat store. A few have
open-air stands along K street.
The fire damage originally esti-
mated to be $750,000 now is esti-
mated at $264,500.

Colgate Represents Second Game Jnx' Against Yale
Five Tackles, 22O Pounds Are Listed

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 1-If his tory repeats itself-at least since Howie Odell has been head coach of the Yale football teams-the Bull dogs are in for trouble, and plenty of it, when the big Red Raiders from Colgate invade the Bowl on Saturday in what should be one of the ding dong battles of the East.
 In the five opening games the Ellis have played under Odell, including last Saturdays 33-0 triumph over Kings Point, Yale has emerged on the right side of the ledger. But in the second game of the four seasons since Odell has taken over it has been different story
 In 1942 the Blue was walloped 35 to by Pennsylvania; in 1943 the University of Rochester squeaked out a 14 to 12 decision, while last fall Holy Cross handed Yale a 2l to o setback. Yale's only second game victory was in the 1944 tuSsle when the Blue staged brilliant second half surge to nip a highly-favored Cornell eleven by a 16 to count. Odd Record
 This second game jinx goes back even further than the Odell regime and a glance at the record books shows that not since 1937 when Clint Frank was experimenting the team he contained has Yale been able to boast of victory in the contest fol- lowing the opener. Adding 1t up It comes to one Yale victory and seven defeats in second games played over the past eight seasons.
 Now Odell isn't one of those super stitious coaches, and he doesn't have to be. in order to have some concern for the upstate New York invaders. Coach Andy Kerr, the cany Scots man who has been at the helm of the visitors for the past IT years has been working out in the wilds of the Chenango Valley, saying nothing about his host of talent, but saving a lot of wood just the same.
 Reports are that he has all the rough edges clipped from the load of returned lettermen, and has buff ed and polished the machine into a pack of gridiron titans who are chaffing at the bit and just waiting for an opportunity to meet the Yale squad. Just look at this:
 Giants
 Kerr has five, five no less, tackles who weighs more than 220 pounds and only one of them has not earned a Colgate letter in previous cam paigns: four of the ends are letter men, while Capt. Bob Orlando, a l85- pound lightweight, leads the beVy of guards. For centers, Kerr has his pick of five capable performers, all over 200 pounds. When it comes to backs to operate from the Colgate double wing, Kerr has plenty ot ef- fective operators. Those who have seen him in action rave about husky Frank Muehlheuser, exactly 226 pounds of brushing dynamite, Walt Cowie, playing his third straight sea- son; Dick Lyon, ex-No Carolina pre- Flight performer; and Glen Treich- Ter, speed merchant will probably complete the starting rear echelon.

Walter Dean of Scovill, top seeded player, in the IRA Singles Tennis Championship emerged victor over George Brundage of U. s. Time at Fulton Park by score of 7-5, 6-2, 6-3.
 Dean gained the right to play Brundage in the finals having downed John Allen of American Brass in the second round by 6-0 GA score, and defeated George Dietz, standout from Waterbury Companies in the semi finals, GA, 3-6, 7-5.
 The finals in the Dusty doubles championship will be held today, weather permitting, with Bill Wells and Jim Mullen of Scovill vs Will liam Wolcot and Cliff Lytle of Sco- will.
 In the State "Y" Industrial Cham pionships held in Stamford last Sunday, Bridgeport beat the Water bury team (ScovilD by taking sin gles and 1 doubles match. Dean of Scovill won his singles match and teamed up with Bill Wells in the doubles and was defeated. New Ha- ven took over Stamford and in the finals Sunday, New Haven beat out Bridgeport for the State Dusty title.
 Trophies and awards for the local tournament will be presented at the annual Summer Sports Banquet this month.

Yale Preps For CoIqote Foe

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 1-(UP)- Crispy weather gave the Yale foot ball squad a chance to put in 8 rough and ready workout today to brush up for Saturdays encounter with Colgate.
 Dick Jenkins, captain-elect of the track team, was recovered from an akle sprain, and at his regular end post. Westi Hansen, who brought his 251 pounds to Yale from North western, was back at tackle after a layoff due to shoulder injury.
 The squad saw movies of it's 33-0 smothering of Kings Point last Sat- urday and worked to smooth out first game errors.
 Statistics on the new Eli Negro backfield ace, Levi Jackson, showed that against Kings Point he carried the ball eight times for an average gain of 112 yards per carry; made two touchdownS, and got off one punt which was good for 54 yards.

BIonchord Knee Hurt PuzzIinq
Bx OSCAR FRALEY

New York, Oct. 1. (UP)-The condition of Fullback Felix (Doc) Blanchard still was Army,s major question mark today with such rugged rivals ahead as Duke, Michi- Notre Dame and Pennsylvania.
 Blanchard, according to latest information from West Point, has not rejected the team because of what now is diagnosed as a severely strained knee.
 The question is whether the in. jury to Army's explosive power is of recurrent type.
 Disagree With JabIonski
 Col. Harvey (Jabbo) Jablonsh, Cadet line coach, said that he didn't think so."
 But other coaches recalled that very few knee injuries have re- sponded without operations. Dr. Nal Stevens, coach of the professional football Dodgers of the All-America. Conference, believes on the scanty information available anent Blan- chard's knee that the fllllback will be out at least three or four weeks"
 Jablonski saw no possibility of him playing against Cornell this Saturday and he undoubtedly will be in poor shape for the Michigan game the following week, if avail able.
 "There is severe swelling in the knee and 1t is very sensitive" Jab- lonski told the weekly luncheon of the New York Football Writers As sociation.
 Tacklers Will Aim at Doc" Making the outlook even darker, there is the possibility that the in- jury may be 8 recurrent one. And with everybody shooting to upset an Army club which now has won 20 in a row there will be plenty of tacklers taking dead aim on that burly Blanchard knee.
 Meanwhile, an Oklahoma team which wasn't rated too touch came very close to getting standoff with the Cadets.
 'This was the toughest team we have met in this or the past two seasons" Jablonski explained. Our big ends, Hank Foldberg and Barney Poole, were particularly emphatic about this point"
 So Army's chances for Q third consecutive undefeated season would seem to be riding tonight with the Army physicians working on Elan chard's knee.
