Dee. 4. tfPy A rising urge to score an upoet of upsets Saturday by checking the Rose Bowl-bound Southern Methodist University football machine was nursed tonight at Texas A. and M.

College here. Coach Homer Norton said he feared for a thne his aggies would not be able to "'steam up" for S. M. U. after having recently played A.

and "traditional" game with Texas University. "But." he added, "they are slowly rising to the peak again all because they want to beat the Methodists before Coach Matty Bell and his hopes leave for California. "We may win Saturday. Much will depend on the blocking, tackling and charging of our forwards. That's where we plan to give Southern Methodist a battle." kit Now that football has drawn to a close, local high school coaches are getting out their paraphernalia for the most popular sport on the Vermont horizon, basketball.

This is evident in the case of Coaches William Hammond and Alfred Baldwin at Cathedral High. For the past week, on the surface of the high school gym, they have put their charges through stiff conditional drills with one thought uppermost in their minds: to give loyal supporters of the Little Indian a banner season. The local institution is beginning what may well be called "a new deal in C. H. S.

athletics." Based on the plan used in the majority of the colleges, the student body is obliged to pay an athletic fee and in return receives a book entitling them to admission at all home games. For the first time in the 16 years of Coach Hammond's regime the class series has not, permitted varsity men to compete, but they have been, taken as a separate group, 12 of them, and are practicing together to Insure team play and advancement in the finer points of the sport. Then, too. it is not at all unlikely that there will be two complete fives, a plan used very successfully by Coach Baldwin and his J. V.

team of a year ago. when they chalked up 21 victories in 22 starts. The white team or ponv aggregation will be picked from the following: "Chugs" Evelti, "Sliver" Cor-ley, "Scratch" Lynch. "Moe" Corley, "Vin" Maietta, and "Handsome John" Akey. The attack of this team is based on speed and shots in close, with very little deception being necessary.

The veterans are largely represented on the other unit which will be picked from Capt. "Phil" Fayette, "Red" Coffey. "Dingy" Malloy. Ray Hammond. "Mona" Corey, and Barrett Clarke.

This team uses a varied form of offense with the shooting being done mainly around the foul circle. Fayette and Coffey, both lettermen of a year ago, are counted upon heavily to be the backbone of the team and also are looked to for the scoring punch. The team swings into action next Wednesday when it faces the Orange and Black of Swanton High school. Then on Friday it will meet one of its parochial opponents, St. Mary's High school.

Two professional bouts will feature the boxing card at Fort Ethan Allen on Monday night, December 8. In a six-round final, J. P. Beauchemln, 63. of Battery Seventh Field Artillery, rated as the best middleweight of the Post, will meet Chuck Parr.

161, of the 1136th Company of the Civilian Conservation Corps at Jericho. Beauchemln has been seen In bouts at the Post and In Burlington. On the opening card of the Post boxing season he handed Slugger Allen a convincing beating. Parr is new to the local fight fans, but not to the fighting game. Although only 19 years of age.

he has won 22 of 24 bouts in New Bedford. and has gained a strong following at the Jericho camp. A six-round semi-final will match Kid Cartier, 130, of Troop A. Third Cavalry against Tex Texiera, 131, of the 1136th Company of the Civilian Conservation Corps at Jericho. On November 11, Cartier fought Kid Cohen of Burlington at the Riding hall at Fort Ethan Allen and defeated him in one of the fastest and hardest scraps of the season.

Texiera, like his stablemate Parr, is young and has not been seen here before. He hails from New Bedford, and like Parr is strongly backed by all the Jericho camp. Material brought in from Civilian Conservation Corps camps so far has been of excellent quality. On the last card. Lefty Hubert, welterweight of the 1184th Company, C.

C. of Fort Ethan Allen, won his bout by a clean, quick knock-out. The first part of Monday night's card, which will open at 8 o'clock, will show six three-round bouts of the Post amateur boxing tournament. All of the fighters to participate have won previous fights In their classes and the winners of these bouts will go to the semi-finals of the tournament. The tournament so far has been highly successful.

The points scored for each winner are increasing toward the finals and the competition Is growing keener. Music will be furnished by the Seventh Field Artillery Band. Busses will leave Burlington on schedule to reach the Riding hall at Fort Ethan Allen in time for the bouts. C. E.

Erwin Lanouette of this city, charged with operating an automobile while under the influence of intoxicating liquor was triect before a Jury yesterday in the Franklin Municipal Court before Judge P.

() With American participation in the 1936 Olympic games the paramount issue, i delegates to the annual three-day convention of the Amateur Athletic Union, starting Friday, began to arrive in town today. Rival factions in the dispute over the Olympic question remained outwardly silent, although within ranks members were storing up ammunition which is expected to be tested at a i caucus meeting of the executive com-1 mittee Friday and then fired at the general assembly of the convention Saturday. Jeremiah T. Mahoney, president of the A. A.

U. and a doubtful candidate for re-election if the convention does I not sustain his fight for an Ameri-1 can boycott of the international sports carnival at Berlin, awaited the arrival of sympathizers from the south and nearby eastern A. A. U. districts, which already have gone on record as opposed to United States participation The helmsman of the proponents, Avery Brundage, president of the American Olympic committee and former president of the A.

A. was scheduled to arrive from Chicago tomorrow afternoon. Brundage has been conducting an aggressive campaign to gain support for American participation fully in the Olympics. Both Brundage and Mahoney have assumed apparently unalterable attitudes on the matter. While the question at present is a group-affair there is likelihood it may develop into personal warfare with Brundage opposing Mahoney for the presidency in the event the incumbent decides to run again.

Advocates of an Olympic boycott claim the support of at least nine of the 34 sectional associations of the A. A. with additional strength in others which have not put themselves on record, but it is generally believed that the organization's "old guard," which favors Olympic participation, will exert controlling influence over the convention.

11, 8:30 Reserved Seats $1.50 pins tax Tickets Sale mi Hwar4'a Clrr Stars. 5,7.10 NEW YORK, Dec. 4. W) Boom times are ahead for Jock McAvoy, the best British boxer to cross the At- lantic since the halcyon days of Ted "Kid" Lewis. If the London youngster is half as good as he looked in his debut here last "week against Al McCoy, he may be wearing both the American mid- die and light heavyweight crowns when he returns to merrie England, Madison Square Garden plans to give McAvoy title shots against both John Henry Lewis and Babe Risko, the American light heavy and middleweight standard bearers.

He Is booked to meet Risko in an over-the-weight scrap December 20. If he continues to show the class he did against McCoy, one of the best or tne American contenders, ne get another chance at the Syracuse boy, with the title at stake. A championship bout with Lewis is I a virtual certainty for January. The negro is pledged to make his first title defense for the Garden and with his manager, Al Greenlee, will come to New York next week to discuss terms. Herr Max Schmeling arrives tomorrow to talk business with the Garden and Mike Jacobs' 20th Century Sporting Club.

Jacobs hopes to sign the German for a bout with Joe Louis next summer and then try to match the winner with Champion Jimmy Braddock in the fall. Personally, Schmeling would prefer to fight Braddock and be done with it. Der Maxie hasn't shown the slightest inclination to get any nearer Louis than he is now. The rub is, nobody knows better than Maxie that a Louis fight will outdraw one with Braddock more than two to one, and after all Max is coming over here for cocoanuts, not the boat ride. Meanwhile Senor Paulino Uzcudon and Louis are whaling away at sparring mates in their respective training camps, tuning up for their December 13, engagement in the Garden.

Paulino pats his famous chin and offers to bet Louis will not be the first man to knock him off his feet. The Negro shrugs laconically and says five rounds will tell the story. NORTHFIELD Ladies' Reading Circle Meets Rotari-ans Hear T. T.

Moulton, Head of Brookings Institution Declare We Have Not Been Suffering from Overproduction NEW YORK, Dec. 4. () Dr. Harold G. Moulton, president of the Brookings Institution, told the Congress of American Industry today that "the greatest problem confronting business managers in modern times is not production but distribution." Addressing the congress, which is held in conjunction with the annual convention of the National Association of Manufacturers.

Dr. Moulton reviewed some of the findings of the Brookings Institution's economic survey. These, he said, included conclusions that: "1. We have never lived beyond our economic means or capacity. "2.

We have not been suffering from general over-production. "3. We have not as yet reached a stage in our economic evolution at which it is possible to provide ade- quate standards of living for every- 1 body. "4. It would require less than a 25 per cent increase in purchasing power among the masses to absorb our full productive capacity.

"5. Production curtailment programs whatever their merit in meeting temporary maladjustments can only lead to national impoverishment. "6. Our Inability to find markets adequate to absorb the full output of our productive establishments is explained by the unequal distribution of income and consequent restricted flow of purchasing power through consumptive channels. "7.

The slow rate of growth of consumptive demand serves to retard the rate at which new capital is constructed and hence the rate of economic progress. "8. The primary need is a rapidly expanding total income, and a broader diffusion of this income among the masses of the people. "9. A broader diffusion of income can best be achieved by reducing prices as rapidly as increasing efficiency will permit.

"10. The successful operation of the economic system requires that back of each new unit of productive power there be placed a corresponding unit of consuming power."
