Wilby Vs. Plainuille; Tech Plays Tonight

bear witness if you are on hand for the game tonight.
 While the backfield looks as if it will be the best in the city much is going to depend upon the Leaven- worth front walls. In other words the line is the big question mark. Tn the line the Big Red mentor has Big" Frank Passerelli and fast moving Henry Rinaldi at the tackle posts and the very able Paul 1an- naccone in the center slot. While at the Guard posts Mario Bernabe and Art Barstis are expected to see plenty of action. The other posi- tions in the line are 8 toss-up and what will happen in their regards remains to be seen.
 Pessimistic
 Coach Tom Kelly of Manchester was none too optimistic about his chances of taking Leavenworth when questioned by this writer yes- terday afternoon. All that the vet eran coach would say IS that he has very promising end named Robinson and two returning veter- an players at the left-tackle and left guard posts respectively. "The rest of the squad is pretty green" he said. But we will be down there in number to give your school 8 good run for their money, if not beat them," he concluded.
 Rocco Mara will handle the job of broadcasting the game over the Public Address System which has been set up for this game. And at this writing on the basis of the strength of the Tech backfleld ar- ray, the locals are favored by this writer to take Manchester by two touchdownS.

Shkor Defeats
 Flynn; 1905 Paid

Boston, Sept. N.-(UP)-Johnny Shkor of Bostotn joined the heavy weight white house" parade today after decisively outpointing Irish Johnny Flynn of Rochester, N. Y., in the 10-round feature bout at Boston Garden.
 The ex-gob, ably coached by for nler worlds heavyweight titlist, Jack Sharkey, captured eight rounds last night as he pounded the high ly-regarded Flynn before one of the smallest crowds ever assembled for 8 fight at the Garden. Only 1905 fans were attracted to the show paying a gross of $4,988 for net of $3,387.
 weighing 219, Shkor marked his second victory in four starts since ending four years service in the Navy. Flynn, 212h pound ex- infantry man who showed to advan- tage in European army bouts, was forced to hang on after Shkor weakened his defense with several early round looping right hand blows.

|Plentyof f'Color'
 For YaIe-Kings Point Opener

New Haven, Sept. 26-Fans at the Yale opener on Saturday in the Rowl-a game which will mark the 74th year of football in New Haven will be treated to much of the luster and game color which has been absent during the war years.
 Yale's cheering section-reduced to mere portion of It's former lusty self-wlll be larger and more vocif- erous than ever as almost 5000 stu dents have tickets which will make up the cheer and yell group. Yales band, in all its postwar splendor will also be back, while making his debut will be month old Hand some Dan VI, the new Yale bulldog and successor to the affable Hand some Dan V who died last January.
 Sail To Game
 From Kings Point will be 500 cadet-midshipmen, led by Admiral Richard R. McNulty, superintendent of the Academy, who will come to New Haven via the training ship Kings Pointer, former cargo ship which participated in much of the heavy action in the South Pacific during the war. Also on hand will be the Kings Point band of 60 and drill team of 65, together with Nep- tune, the ram mascot.
 Last July before 53,0O0 persons at the Yankee Stadium, prior to a night game between New York and Chicago, the Kings Point band and drill team put on a splendid show which all of the vast throng pres ent will long remember One of the big reasons for it is Victor V. Mavar, of Biloxi, baton swinger deluxe and national champion.
 The Kings Point contingent will leave the Academy early Saturday morning for their water journey arriving in New Haven at about noon.

Wilby opens the local scholastic grid season at the Municipal sta dium this afternoon against Plain- vile while Leavenworth will be fa- vored to beat Manchester when the two teams meet under the lights at the stadium tonight at SIS. Coach Bill Tracy and the Leaven- worth Athletic Association expect a large turnout for the first of their two scheduled night contests, Coach Tom Kelly of Manchestef said that this will be the opening contest for Manchester too and that he hopes to arrive in Waterbury about 7:45 tonight.
 The Tech Tigers go into this ill- augural contest slightly favored on the basis of 8 strong backfield lineup which will include Capts. Nick LoRusso at fullback, and Steve Perrone calling the signals from the quarterback slot. Both of these lads have had experience last sea- son carrying the ball for the Big Red and will once again be de- pended upon to direct the opera tions of the team tonight while on the field. Also included in the back field setup will be Ed Bowman and fast moving Joe Mascotta at the half back posts with Joe Mancini, Johnny Messup and Dom Martinelli in reserve. Mancini played some very good football for Tech in the sub-halfback slot last season and will be depended upon by Coach Tracy to help bear part of the bur- den this season. While Martinelli comes to the LeavenWorth team for the first time after having played some standout ball for the West End football outfit last season. This gives the reader a pretty good look at the Tech backfield which packs plenty of power to which you will

Adequate Police
In 9Th 81. Area

According to Harry Bass, Jr.,
executive secretary of the Citi-
zen Civic League who was spok-
esman for a committee appointed
by the League to investigate the
inadequacy of police protection

assured relief as quickly as pos

Mayor Sprick," said Mr.. Bass,
acknowledged awareness of the
danger that is possible from the
lack of sufficient officers to pa
troll the area, and expressed that
remedy could only result from
an increased force of which he
is taking under advisement."
Mayor Sprick praised the re-
cord made by the Negro officers,
and stated that the Little Rock
department has had inquiries
from several southern cities con-
corning the relation and feeling
among the people, stated Mr..
Bass. And quoting Mayor Sprick
I'VE wouldn't do without them"

COP INDICTED FOR
RAPE ASKS FOR
REINSTATEMENT

A petition to re-instate on the
Little Rock Police force, Dan w.
Ellard has been filed with the
city Civil Service Commission.
Dan w. Ellard, an ex-patrol-
man was indicted in 1912 along
with another white officer,
charged with rape on a teenage
high school colored girl. Ellard
was discharged from the force
at that time, and the petition
contends that he was never
granted a hearing or was ever
notified in writing by the chief
of police that he was suspended,
as required under state stature,
and that he be permitted to re-
nolle pressed.
The charges on which the ex-
officer was indicted were later
turn to work. The petition also
asks complete vindication of Ell
lard's record.

RESULT IN BAN on
D. c. SEGRATlON

A proposal by Adam Clayton
Powell, representative of New
York banning racial segregation
in Washington, D. c., was de-
feated 1872 to 40.
1t was presented in the form
of an amendment which would
prohibit use Of funds for main
tanning different establishments
because of race, creed or point
of national origin.
Representative Marcantino, al
so of New York, who spoke in
behalf of the amendment con-
tended there is no law which
establishes schools, hospitals and
other institutions for whites and
Negroes in the district. The
amendment, he said would
only affect a practice, and there
fore was a proper subject to be
considered"
After a heated debate of an
hour where southerners contend
ed that the plan would promote
race riots and Killings" the vote
was taken.
Supporters of the amendment
felt that it should be adopted to
show that America really believ-
ed in democracy.
