OP) Al Wittmer, head football coach at Princeton University, was In a serious condition at the Dartmouth College Hospital tonight, suffering from acute appendicitis. Despite the gravity of his condition however, he refused to undergo an operation. In his anxiety to return to Princeton in time for opening of football practice, Wittner declared he would leave for New York shortly after midnight, but because of his condition Dr. John Giles refused to permit him to leave the hospital. Cat Gridsters Are Returning A Few of Football ables Have Returned for Training and More Will Flock in Soon, It Is Expected Certainly they come back.

Even Larry Bowers, out of the slough of scholastic troubles after all these months, has come back to town, to start training for football. Not only Larry, the mountainous molar of the 1929 Catamount, but also Captain Eddie Winant and Morris Farmer are back, and tomorrow, the deluge. For the U. V. M.

grid season, three weeks distant must be prepared for. Frankie Pires will toss out the uniforms a la Ernie Codding tomorrow morning and afternoon: Head Coach Dave Dunn will be on hand to count noses; and Bumps Levine. assistant coach, and Johnny Burke, frosh mentor, will be there to cheer. A squad of some two dozen should report; most of them will be on hand Tuesday, when Norwich also starts. Middlebury gets under way today.

Vermont faces a discouraging problem. Even without a single big college eleven on the schedule, the task of bettering the dismal 1930 record will be hard. Not because Vermont has lost athletes: every college has, and most of them have lost better athletes than Vermont has; but the income will be slim. There is no crowing at the dawn of this football day. Dunn and Levine, now in their second year as coaches here, must show results.

Further, they must fabricate a team out of a handful of good men and a small squad of well, men who are not so good. These can be counted on: Captain Winant, last year's quarter, who can now revert to halfback because of the eligibility of Eddie Saba, last year's frosh leader; Larry Bowers, a linesman; and Morris Farmer, a rugged guard. Of the others who are to report. 1931 records will be the safest predictions. The team will eat at Carl's Dinette until school begins.

6. (JP) The big movement toward the football practice fields of eastern colleges gets under way this week, following the opening exercises provided by some 20 colleges since Aug. 31. With Labor Day, the varsity candidates begin their labors and by the end of the week only about 20 colleges will remain which have not begun their drills. Tuesday is the big day of the year when it comes to gathering the squads.

No less than 16 colleges have chosen that day to bring out the mokvkins, among them Cornell. Brown. Peun State and New York University.

(JP After a three-year lapse, auto race drivers will return to the Rockingham speedway tomorrow for a series of sprint races conducted by the Boston Garden management. Ralph DePalma, veteran Italian dare-devil, heads the list of 50-odd pilots entered for the battle of speed over the unbanked turns of the dirt horse track, idle since New Hampshire authorities forced the suspension of the New Hampshire Breeders Association meeting early in July.

Several of the field, including Bert Karnatz, Detroit, Jimmy Patterson, Atlanta, Johnny Wlrty, Brooklyn. George Howie, Richmond, and Arch Powell, Des Moines, have been conceded an excellent chance of winning large slices of the prize money and even pushing DePalma, who has driven in 3,500 races and won 3,000 of them, to the limit. DePalma's super-charged racer, however, has been clipping practice miles a fifth of a second faster than any other car at the track.

Sept. 6.

(JP) Hack Wilson was suspended today by President William L. Veeck of the Cubs, for the remainder of the National League season. The suspension, imposed at Manager Rogers Hornsby's request, is without pay. "Infraction of training rules" was given as the reason. Pat Malone, righthanded pitching star, also was disciplined by President Veeck for "disorderly conduct aim roistering.

raaione was given a heavy fine but was not suspended. The disciplinary actions were said to nave Deen tne result oi incidents which occurred while the Cubs were in Cincinnati last week. Veeck's action indicated Wilson has worn cub regimentals for the last time. Owner William Wrigley, last week said he wanted Wilson sold or traded, adding that it was a "personal wrish," and that Hornsby and Veeck would decide what to do with the pudgy outfielder who set a new National League record of 58 home runs last season. Indication that Wilson was "all done" as far as Hornsby was concerned, was given at Cincinnati when Vlnce Barton, recruit outfielder, was forced to go to his home in Canada because of the serious illness of a member of his family.

Instead of sending Wilson into action. Hornsby used Bud Teachout, southpaw pitcher, in the outfield. It was revealed the suspension would cost Wilson in excess of $6,000, making his annual salary around $35,000. Mrs. Durfee Wins President's Cup On B.

Hopelessly sunk in the cellar, the Reds won six straight games from the Cubs and dropped them neatly out of the race for second place while the Giants turned in one of the greatest seven-day performances of the season to take a safe lead over Chi- cago and become a serious threat to the security of the St. Louis Cardi- nals. The Giants did everything right as they won nine games out of ten. Although they had to take second place to the Reds, they led their league in every other respect except fielding.

In the American League, another New York team, the Yankees, made almost as complete a triumph for the week which ended Saturday. The Yanks won six games and lost only two to wind up only a half game behind the second place Washington Senators.

South Hero Plays Grand Isle Today South Hero will entertain Grand Isle for a baseball game this afternoon to be played at the Grand Isle diamond if the grounds are not too wet, otherwise the game will take place at the South Hero diamond. Grand Isle has improved a great deal since the team was organized and have been rumored to be betting heavily that they will uncork a surprise when they meet the Heroes in the Labor Day battle. Dame Rumcr has it that Kyle Granni cf Barre will be shipped in to take the hurling assignment for Grand Isle and several other out of town players are also expected to bolster up the line-up that will meet the Heroes.

The Hero team will not have LawTence available for this game as he worked Sunday. Ken Hazen will probably get the mound assignment. If not, Ray Larrow will ascend the 'rubber for the annual knock-down, drag-out between the two South Is-I land towns. This should be a great game to watch as the rivalry be-' tween the two towns runs high and is cf long standing.

Schierbaum at 14 East avenue, shortly after 11:30 o'clock last night. According to an eye-witness, Joseph Guyette of 183 Main street, Winooski, Russell was driving his Pontiac sedan west on Colchester avenue, and made so wide a turn that he went partly up and along a small embankment on the west side of East avenue, then shot diagonally across the road and into a corner of Schier-baum's house, which is on the east side of the street. The impact shook the chimney off the dwelling, made pictures fall from the parlor walls and loosened some of the wall paper. The front end of Russell's car was -wrecked. He was alone in the machine.

It appeared that his head struck and broke the windshield of the car. When the police ambulance arrived, excited East avenue residents had Russell stretched out on the lawn. Just why he had made so wide a turn into East avenue, police could not ascertain. The Schierbaum home is the fourth house south from the corner, and is about 100 feet from the point where Russell started to turn off Colchester avenue. NEW YORK, Sept.
