F.YOUNG, Spciiianald.Vua. r--s (Special to The Courant.) Storrs, Oct. 18. Games played to date between the teams of the New England College Conference, which Is made up of the stats colleges of Connecticut, M-aachuaetta. New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Mains, indicate that choice of the strongest team in thl group will lay between tha Massachusetts Agglea and University of New Hampshire elevens.

Massachusetts AgKles defeated Connecticut Aggie yesterday 1J-0 at Storrs while at the same time in Durham. N. Rhode Island State fell before th strong University of Near Hampshire eleven by a score of 26-0. Maine, the other member of the conference, defeated t'onnectlout Sgles a week ago 7-. but tin the bails of the work shown in that game, tho Pine Tree Statera cannot ranked on a par with the Massachusetts Aggies.

Just how they compare with New Hampshire la problematical, but the comparative strength of the two teams should -be definitely settled on Nov. 14, when they play at Orono. Me. Nw Hampshire and the Massachusetts Aggies do not meet this vear, to the two elevens can be rated on comparative scores only. Started la 11)23.

The New England College Conference rules went Into effect in the fall of 1923, bringing into play a standard set of rules and code of eligibility for the five institutions that aro its charter members. Its primary purpose was to Introduce a high plane of intercollegiate competition between the colleges In question, with a set of rules that would be uniform and fair for all concerned. Unlike some conferences, the primary Idea ia not to win a "Conference Championship," and it ia especially provided thst no "championship" shall be awarded. It Is not necessary that all conference teams shall play each other, and the only team that will niet all others this year is the Connecticut Aggies. Followers oif the state colleges within the conference will be interested to know how the various teams shape up, however, and as mentioned before, New Hampshire and the Massachusetts Agglea look to be the strongest at the present time.

The result of the Connecticut Aggies-New Hampshire trame at Manchester, N. Nov. 7, should give fair index aa to whether Massachusetts Aggies or New Hampshire can be considered the best team in the New England Conference. If Connecticut wins. Massachusetts takes top honors by virtue of lta victory over the Nutmeg Aggiea yesterady.

If Nei.v Hampshire wins. It will be a more or less debatable question aa to which is the strongest team, unless tha Granite State eleven downs Con necticut by an overwhelming acore. Last year, Connecticut Aggiea had the best team In the conference, defeating Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Olympic Club Officials Promise to Have Boxers Ready Promptly. One of the steps taken by of the Olympic Athletic Club to Insure the amate ir boxing fans of real entertainment on the occasion of the club's opening; show at Foot Guard Hall tomorrow night, is the ultimatum issued to all participants to be ready with their gloves on at leaet ten minutes before their bout Is scheduled to start.

HUNSINGER'S ALERT WORK IS DECISIVE Breaks Pave Way For Touchdown Scored by Each Aggregation. ISpecjal to The Cuuranit.) I Watcibury, Oct. IS, George Mulligan's state champion ship Waterbury Blurs further es tablished their claim to headline gridiron prominence of New Iiiiig'and today vy taking a Hard fought jjiitne from the Iloclieater Juffa, members of the Nuttunal Football League, 7 to li. An attempted drop kick in Ui0 try for the point after touchdown which went astray from the toe of big Lou Smyth proved the break that won the game for Mulligans Ouard. Hrraka I omit.

It was abuut the prettiest exhibition of professional football ever seen in tho llrHss City, Imih teams buttling on even terms for practically the entire gamu with two breaks resulting In the two touchdowns. Although 111 encounter was keenly contested frcm atart to finish, It waa ri'iiiBi kalily clean, there being only one penalty inflicted by Hcttnc Kccfe. that one coming because the mountainous cese Orlgg, yuaitei back and coach uf tiin Jeffs, argued a point with Kccfe not quite diplomatically enough. That coat his team fifteen yards for the only official setback the entire afternoon. It was tho alertness of fleet footed Kddln Hunsinger of last year's Notre Dame team that made the only Waterbury score possible.

The Jeffs hnd uncovered a passing well mixed with an efficient running charge which had carried tho ball well down tho field when a bad pass from Smith bounded out of Grigg hands. Hunsinger, coming in on the play at top speed, scooped up the oval ami after straight arming Cirigg and Kellogg out or the way, sprinted twenty-five yarda for the score. A well directed drop kick by Stuhldreher produced the game-win ning extra point. The Blues had two other scoring chances tha first half, both coming aner Hunsinger a dash. Some beautl ful line' smashing by "Dutch" l'orst, severul escursions around the Itoch ester wings py Mnienoinger and a Stuhldreher to Slnicnillnger forward pass, coupied with the above men tioned only penalty of the gurnc, plnetil tho ball on tho Rochester twenty yaid line where, after aevcral futile thrusts at the line and an un completed forward pass, Stuhldreher attempted a thirty yard drop kick that was wide of Its mark.

The first Rochester play on their own twenty yard lino resulted In the next Waterbury scoring chance. Orlgg fumbled tha pass and Hill Case eovarec the oval for Mie Blues. Atain, as a Inst resort, Stuhldreher tied a drop kick but again the. ball went wide of its mark. A fumble by Stuhldreher paved tho way for tha lone Rochester score.

I-rfite In tiha second period, with tho ball In Blue territory, Stuhldreher juggled and then finally dropped the ball and Matteo, late of Syracuse, swooped down on the ball for the Jeffs, Here the much vaunted forward passing game of the visitors came into action. Oa the first play, Ixm Smyth uncorke-d a beautifully placed forward pass that covered thirty yarda to the waiting arms of Lynch, who was behind ti. Blue goal line. Smyth failed to kick the goal. For tha Blus, Dick McGrathl and Jakle Friedman played star roles 1n the line as did "Heck" Garvey.

In the backfiled. "Dutch" Forst covered himself with riory while "Butsy" Sturm's defensive work stood out. "Hank" Smith, 198 pound center of the Jeffs, played a great game, as did Argus and Grlgg.

G4RTERS NO METAL CAN TOUCH YOU 25c to $1 SIS The state professional gridiron has claimed its Art victim in Johnny Rooney. the likeable, lively halfback who was one of the mainstays on the AH-Norwalk offensive. A week ago he received what hundreds of ifootball players have received, a brokem arm but fate decreed that hln case be the one In a million and tetanus, or lockjaw, Set In and although 45,000 units of antl toxin were poured Into his blood, the Insidious poiaom had done lta work and he early yesterday. His passing took one of the best liked, most efficient players from the pro fessional ranks.

Thia state has always been most fortunate In regards to bad injuries, fatal and otherwise, to Its players, both professional emd collegiate. Broken bones there have been a plenty but not wRhin the writer's memory Jias there been a fatality resulting from college or professional injury until Rooney'a untimely death. A Chicago stockyards operator would' have been dellghtei with the beef and brawn displayed by the Rochester Professionals as they tooK the gridiron against George Mulligan's Blues yesterday at Watertniry. The two ends were the lightest men on the line and they each tipped the beam at 175 pounds. The Be mouth of the) entire aggregation was Tex Kelley, who entered the game at tackle A mere 240 pounds represents his displacement.

Pooler, the guard, was rirht In back him with a punv 230 pounds of brawn and muscle. Kellogg, who Played with the Yellow Jackets last year at Waterbury. was the pigmv of the team, weighing only 135 pound-'. "Butsv" Sturm, in his ri'st start for the Blues, played a fine though Ve had few chances to carry the when he. did take charge of advancing the oval, he gained several yards.

He was shining li.fit on the defensive, knocking down pass after pass thit was aimed for his eetor. Only one got by him during the entire game and Jakle Friedman nailed the receiver so no real damage was done. fans think that Jakle Friedman is Just about the sweetest pluver that ever stepped on to the Brassco gridiron, especially, we sun-poe. becsuse he is a local boy. He was in the thick of every tussle this afternoon always at the bottom of the heap when things were untangled.

His plnying thi3 season leaves little to be desired. "Hiker" Holzhelmer's ankle injured badly in the New Britain clash Inst week was atill too weak to warrant hi, playing so the youngster air check for sitting on the bench in uniform. As was expected the All-Norwalk football team put up a rugged battle before submitting to a 7 to 0 defeat at the hands of Ed Dailey's New Britain aggregation. As we underatand it a lucky break in an Intercepted pass by "Zip" Zehrer and his result-int dash for the only score of the game. From all reports the Twin-Cltltes outrushed the New Britain bunch.

The Submarine Base football of New London seems to have an elastic status in football circles The team plays, and beats, many college teams on Saturday while it has been known to Induce in the mercenary professional game at Intervals. It seems that the offloiale at the Base are striving to place their team on a par with- tho Quantico Marines, Fort Benning, Third Army Corps and other service teams who play entirely with the collegians. Big Lou Smyth treated the fans to a. pretty an exhibition of forward passing haa been seen in a long while. The wit the big boy heaves a football around is a treat for sore eves That pass which was converted into a touchdown traveled high and far and gave Lynch plenty of time to cross the field from nowhere, seemingly, to call the toss.

The fast charging Rochester ends gave Harry Stuhldreher little chance to strut his stuff. The All-American did little but direct the team's ot-r fenalve. "Dutch" Forat was the siege gun. Forst plaved the greater part of the first half minus his blue Jersey. In one of his plunges through the Jeff line, a Rochester tackier ripped the Jersey completely off his back.

Now he knows how it feels to have the shirt ripped oft his back. TONY LAZERRE HITS SIXTIETH HOMER TO SMASH RUTH'S MARK Sacremento, Oct. 18. (Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 18 Associated Press.) stagger tig under a succession of shocks which spared only few of the gridiron elect, eastern football today gazed out upon a tangle of shattered hopes, tumbled Idols and ruined records after a week-end of stunning pigskin disasters. I parts t.nlorc.

games marked the first big aeries of eastern major clastic, and scarcely one of them fulfilled the expectations of those who had Imbibed freely at the dope bucket. The winning streaks of jcven ninjor elevens were broken; foi the first time in years not a member of the "Uig Three'' Yale, Harvard and Princeton was able to put serosa a victory; Notre national champions of lrnt year with a sixteen game winning streak, went down to their worst defeat in recent years before a Army assault; tnly three major elevens, none of which has yet faced a foe of like caliber, were left with the goal lines uncrossed. The most severe Mows fell here against the Knute Kockno eleven; at Kew Haven, where l'aie went down before Pennsylvania, to her first defeat since 1922, and nt Cambridge where Harvard, brightened by a display of remarkable offensive power against Middlebury the week before, was dashed rudely to the damp turf by Holy Cross. 7 to 6. Predicted Defeat.

Roekne came east predicting defeat for his champion Indiana eleven, yet thousands, bound by the spell of fcotball magic, refused to look for anything but another Notre Dame miracle against a heavy, experienced and powerful army. But even Rockna himself probably did not bargain for ouite as great a show of strength aa the cadets difplayed to a colorful throng of 65.000. Displaying the most relentless offensive of any team in the cast this week-end and putting forth a defense which cut down every attacking move of the mid-western team, the McEwan eleven did about everything it attempted, and did it well. The entire forward row crasnea inrougn Notre Dame on almost every play. and toward the end of South Hena team'a backfiehl was tilled so quickly not even a forward pass could be gotten away.

On the other hand, the cadets punctuated their plunging attack at unexpected periods with well-timed aerials attempts and completed four of their five Vnseored Vpon. Dartmouth, Cornell and Syracuse, still to be scored upon this year, were not hard pressed, although the latter bested Indiana, 14-0. largely ae the result of favorable breaks. All three, teams still have their first severe struggles to come, and the Ithacans wiii probably not get theirs until they face Columbia Oct. 31 at the polo grounds.

Syracuse looks to add further to its already long string ot touchdowns against Providence next week, lifter which they will tackle the rujsed Penn State outfit. Dartmouth, however, has a Harvard foe keyed for revenge next week and their clash 'Kill be one of Saturday's outstanding tilts. Five fndefented. Defeat for Columbia's strong eleven at the hands of Ohio State. 9 to 0, 'stlU further narrowed the list of unbeaten eastern elevens.

Only Pennsylvania, Army, Dartmouth, Cornell and Syracuse of the major elevens have now won all their games, although Colgate, Lafayette, Princeton and Navy, by tying their games yesterday, remain undefeated. The defeat of Harvard at the hands of the Crimson's old Worcester rival carried a stunning Jolt for the Cambridge men, in spite of the fact that Holy Cross had been threatening: for several campaigns. The Crimson was able to w-in by only a single touch-fiown In 1923 while 1920 the Harvard margin was a mere field iroal. Holy Cross had given little sign of its strength In early season games, but Holy Cross against Harvard has always been a tartai and yesterday the Worcester warriors finally went "over the top." HARTFORD SCANDIA SOCCER TEAM WINS The Hartford Scandia anccer foot ball team defeated the Waterbury team yesterday afternoon at Charter Oak Park by a 3 to 4 score before the largest, gallery of the season. It was a second round, Siate Cup batch.

The Scandia outfit lost no time In scoring and after five minutes of play, forced a corner allowing Anderson to score the first goal for the winners. The Waterbury team had one chance to score on a penalty kick called cn Christen3cn, but the Bras: City team could not net tha ball. The score at the end of the first half was 1 to 0 ia favor of Scandia. Wallquist broke through the Waterbury defense for the second Scandia scora ten minute after the second half had started and chortly afterwards, Carlow scored the first goal for Waterbury. Things quieted down then for a while and ten minutes from closing time, Carlson scored goal number three for Scandia.

With two minutes to go. Faust kicked the ball out of play but the referee failed to see the linesman's signal. Waterbury put the ball acrass the field where Millstrom took It In his hands. A penalty kick was awarded Waterbury and Monru found the net for the second and final Waterbury counter. By Hi victory, the ficaniia eleven advances to the third round of the Staff!

Pittsburgh Roster Combines Youth With Speed and Hitting Power. McGRAWMENflRAVES AND REDS THREATEN Smoky City Looks Beyond Series and Sees Vision of New Dynasty. Kew Tork. Oct. 18 (Associated Press.) There was a lingering; note of future defiance In the tread ot Bill McKechnie's conquering (host as the retreating step3 of World's Series teams echoed faintly tonisfht along the corridors of major league baseball.

l'l rates Won't Slop. For Pittsburgh was unwilling to atop in acclaiming lta National league heroes as a great club which toad been good enough and game enough to beat Wa ter Johnson and a sterling Washington machhie. The elty of smoke and Honus Wagner tonight could look beyond the glory of a smashing triumph and see the beginning of a new diamond reign, an athletic dynasty supplanting the frur-year National League rule or Join McGraw's Giants, swept alone on flying, feet of Max Carey, under the propulsion of Hazen Cuyler's powerful stick, and supported by the sturdy defense of Traynor, Wright, Mclnnis and Smith. a Xfw Dynasty.
