Warriors WoIIop Auburns 24to2

The WarrlorS defeated the Bridgeport Auburns PAP yesterday to vain their first victory in three starts before 500 fans at the Hamil- ton Park grounds.
 The outweighed visitors dis played a wide-open, razzle- dazzle brand of football that troubled the locals throughout the contest, but were unable to score when inside the ten-yard line; the bigger for ward line of the locals rising to stop the invaders.
 The Warriors scored early in the first period capitalizing on a tumble by Daly on the first play from scrimmage Iannacone then went for 30 yards around his left end to the ten. Two line plays were in- effective before "Lewty" Fiorucci fired pass to Valucci in the end zone for the first score. Two plays later Iannacone recovered another Auburn tumble on their 20 With Fortin, Valucci, and Jamele carry ing, the Warriors moved to the one foot line before Iannacone pulled his way over for the score.
 The Bridgeport squad then came to life in the second quarter and with Felanga doing the bulk of the passing, carried to the Warriors five before the locals stiffened and held for downs. On high pass from center, Champi fumbled, re- covered the ball, but was down ln the end zone for safety and the only Bridgeport score.
 In the fourth quarter the des- perate Auburns again took to the air and with Hines and Felanga alternating in passing, carried to the locals seven before 1annacone intercepted a Hines pass on the i've and shaking off several tack lers sped the 95-yard down the sideline for the third Warrior score. A minute later Pete zaccari inter cepted a pass by B. Ready on the visitors 9 and went the remainder of the way without a hand being laid on him.
 Hines, ex-Central High star, the Faustine twins, Felanga and B. Ready were outstanding for the Auburns, while the line play of Tin Schavo, Perroti, Dan Spardore and Ral Cali stood out for the War riors.

MT. Derwin told the Acmes tnat they won their division and sched- uled them with the winners ot the other division. The Warriors 1or- feited their last game to the ITO ians figuring the league was all over, leaving the Trojans with an 11-4 record for the season. A 1eW days after the Acmes were sched- uled with the winners of the Ma tional League, there was 8 piece ln the newspapers reading that the Trojans and Acmes were tied for the top honors and that a playoff was necessary. Now l, as manager of the Acmes got in touch with MT. Derwin immediately. MT. Derwin told me that game which the Trojans lost to St. Joe's Holy Name on June was awarded to the Tro- jans because St. Joe's used an tn- eligible player. This game went into the newspaper as a 5-4 win for St. Joe's. Nothing was ever said to MT. Derwin about 1t until Sep tember. The standings were posted from time to time and this game was a defeat on the Trojans stand ings. Two meetings of all the man. agers were held and still the Tro- jans did not claim this game and accepted the standings with four losses. There are no score books available on the game and yet MT. Derwin awarded the game to the Trojans. I asked MT. Derwin why and he said he got in touch with the umpire and the umpire agreed that an ineligible player was used. I told MT. Derwin that I felt as if 1t was too late for him to award a game to the Trojans at this stage of the season in as much as 1t was three months before the Trojans brought 1t to his attention and that we and the other ball clubs in the league accepted the stand ings and played our games ac- cordingly. MT. Derwin still couldn't see the point, so asked that a meeting of all the managers be called, this was refused me by MT. Derwin. l asked and even demand ed that the case be put in neutral hands such as committee but this was also refused me. MT. Der win said he was gong to schedule

orrington Tops Indies By6-O Score

Torrington, Oct. 6-After one post ponement and considerable arrange ments, Torrington Redskins and Wa terbury Indies took the field at Fus- senich Park here today, before about thousand football fans who saw the home team, Redskins, win g close game 60 in the final five min uteS of play.
 The two teams were recently scheduled for night game here, but $500 fans were disappointed with the rented lighting system did not arrive so that the game could be played.
 A forward pass thrown by the In- dies Jimmy Grove, was intercepted by Drozdenko today, starting the Redskins toward the only score of the game. Omar Pollick passed to Tedesco on the Waterbury IS; fol- lowing the Interrogation on the visit ors 35 yard line; and from the 18, another Pollick pass cut the distance in half; an end run by Tedesco giving Torrington first down on the Indies 2 yard mark. Another aerial, Pollick to Samele, who caught the ball in the end zone brought the score; Pollick missing the kick for point after touchdown.
 An intercepted pass gave Water bury the ball on the Redskin 9; but Murphy lost g yards on the next play, when Fargo, York and Long bucco crashed in on him; Rosa toss- ing two passes, the second of which was intercepted on the Torrington 30 to close out the Waterbury scoring threat with less than minutes of play left.
 On first downs, Redskins made ' to 6 for the Indies. Good line play and alert backs was in Torrington's favor today; while Gianelli, Kruse and Rosa were Waterbury standings. Summary:

Showdown for .ArmyAhead

New York, Oct. 7-(UP)-Spread out behind Coach Dana Bibles Texas tornado, all the well-healed sectional football favorites rolled along among the undefeated today but the inevitable showdown was approaching for Army and Michi- gan.
 They'll clash at Ann Arbor, Mich, Saturday and Army's precious win ming streak, now 21 games, is in critical danger for the first time in three years.
 Scoring heavily in the statistics if not on the scoreboard, Michigan won its second straight game by defeating Iowa, IA to 2, while Army was facing Cornell, 46 to 21, with liberal use of reserves who proved more than mildly disappointing. Cornell held Cadet reserves even and it was a four-touchdown spurt by Glenn Davis that made the dif- ference.
 Lujack Paced Irish
 Alabama had a tight squeeze with South Carolina, 14 to 6, and Notre Danes running attack was unim- pressive as Johnny Lujack passed the Irish to a 33 to 0 victory over Pittsburgh, but down in Texas the rip-roaring Longhorns required no excuse as they walloped a flrst-rate Oklahoma A. and M. eleven, 54 to 6, bringing to an end a victory string started late in 1914 though tied last week by Arkansas. U.CL,A.. the West Coast powerhouse, whipped Washington, 39 to 13. With a terrific scoring average or better than 57 points a game en- gineered by Bobby Layne, Tom Landry and a tightly-knit line, Texas was heavy favorite to sweep it's Southwest Conference schedule.
 Oklahoma, last minute victor over Texas A. and M, with a field goal, 10 to ', meets Texas this week. Purdue, beaten by Illinois, 43 to ', pays at Notre Dame, Southwestern | pays at Alabama and Stanford meets U.CLA. In other contests invov- ing Sectiona eaders.
 Coumbia's g to IA upset of Navy puts the weeks Eastern feature in the Yale Bowl where Columbia will put Coach Howie Odelrs offensive minded Yale Bulldogs to their first test. Yale's second half rally, after a to 6 first half, dumped Colgate, 27 to 6.
 Pair Register With East
 In the big nine, Indiana and Northwestern joined Michigan and Illinois in the victory column, both with unexpected ease. Indiana's twice-beaten defending champions defeated Minnesota, 21 to O. and Northwestern turned back highly touted Wisconsin, 28 to O. Ohio State, tied by Missouri the week before, downed Southern California, 2l to O.
 Louisiana State won the big one in the Southeastern Conference from Mississippi State, 13 to 6, while Tulane defeated Florida, 27 to 13 and Vanderbuilt held on for a T to 0 victory over Mississippi. North Ca rolina State won the Southern Con- ference headliner from Clemson, IA to T, on two touchdownS by Howard Turner, and William and Mary de- feated the Citadel, 51 to 12.
 Pennsylvania opened its season with 66 to 0 victory over Lafay- cite. Dartmouth defeated Syracuse, 20 to IA; Harvard Beat Tufts, 49 to 0; Princeton beat Brown, B to 12 and Holy Cross defeated Detroit Is to IA.
 Leading games of the week in the East are:
 Colgate at Cornell, Columbia at Yale, Dartmouth at Penn, Duke at Navy, Harvard at Princeton, Tenn pie at Pittsburgh, Villanova at Holy Cross.

the game and if we didn't show up the Trojans would win by forfeit. So naturally we did not want to lose the championship that way so we played the Trojans and were de- feated.
 But in this game Umpire Ned Kenney misinterpreted a rule ana I protested the game to MT. Der win. Here is what happened: The Trojans were at bat last of the 3rd with one out and base runner on first. The score was 10 in our favor. Our pitcher Gene Torrance pitched floater to the plate which hit the batter. Umpire Kenney awarded the batter first base and I argued the batter must make an attempt to get out of the way Of a pitched ball. Kenney says there is no rule saying that, so ] wrote in a protest to MT. DerWin. Here IS the rule: Rule 26, Sec. 6. If a pitched ball, not struck at, touches any part of the batsman's person or clothing, while standing in his position unless in the opinion of the umpire, he plainly makes no ef1ort to get out of the way of the pitched ball the batters shall be awarded first base.
 Now I think this is sound pro- test but MT. Derwin refuses to acknowledge it and refuses to put it up before a protest committee. MT. Derwin also refused me when l asked that special meeting of the managers be called to decide the issue. Now this in my opinion is as raw a deal as any ball club can be given and in as much as MT. Derwin is a public servant and a man in a respected position, I think he owes it to my club, the Acme Cleaners that a fair deal be given on this protest of mine. In any league which Eve participated, the managers were given set of rules and schedule for the season but in this City Wide League we man. agers did not know what the story was.

 Claims
 Row Deal

A one-hit pitching performance by Tony Marinara shut out the Brass City Bombers yesterday 50 giving the North End Trojans the City-Wide Softball league cham pionship. The title-winning game, regardless of how it turned out, has been clouded because of a protest in the form of signed communica- ton to the Democrat, from Nick Augelli, manager of the Acme Cleaners. who insists his club was given a "raw deal' by William J. Derwin, Park Department supervis- or of recreation, and director of the City-Wide league.
 Standout
 Tony Marinara was very much of a ''one man team" yesterday as he pitched and batted the Trojans to the championship; for, in addition to his one-hit mound job, he got two hits, batted in 3 runs; Joe Byrne and Joe Marinara, also going well for the winners; who got 5 hits off Len Radke who was touched for four runs in the first innings. Score:
 R. HE. TrojanS 121 001 x-5 5 0 Bombors ...... GOO 900 co 1 0 A. Marinara and Skehan; L. Rad ke and Cugno.
 The letter of protest submitted by Manager Augell of the Acmes is as follows:
 October 4, 1946 MT. John Cluney:
 I am writing letter which I hope you will print in your newspaper. This is in regard to a certain RAW deal which I claim my softball club received in the City Wide League which was under the supervision of Asst. Supt. of Parks Bill Derwin. Here is the story as best as could be written.
 At our organizing meeting, which was called by MT. Derwin, a sched- ule for the first weeks games was drawn up and it was decided that the League be divided in two, 12 team divisions, with one round be- ing played and then the top five teams in each division play another round and the total games won and lost to decide the championship. Then the winners of each league were to play out of 3 for the City Championship. At the end of the first round in our Division this was the standing which was accepted by all the Managers at a special meet ing called by MT. Derwin.

The Acmes were scheduled with the Buddies follow ing the playoff game and the Bud dies were defeated. About a week after this game Mir Derwin put a piece in the paper claiming that the Trojans won the playoff contest with the Buddies because the Bud- dies used an ineligible player.
