If Yule hna any weaknesses thi.s year they're in the tho lino, Thi? forward wall looks like the best In 20 years of New Haven football.

There are 'plenty of big, toujjh, and experienced boys to handle every position. Cuptnin TUnc Whiting leads the nii forwards from his guard post with Tom 'Smith as his running riiatc. Bnilnard Warners is the center, though he's still facing serious competition from Cliff Thompson. At end Odell has Paul who has been called one of tho best flankmen in the country. One of tho tackles is 220-pound Johnny the rest of the bunch follows that pattern.

Behind the line, Couch Odell las been encouraged by the work of Frank Gillis of Ansonia and Barksdale. They looked good tearing; through Holy CI-JSK in iructicc scrimmage the other day, Gillis wau just another substi last year. But this season he has developed into a good ball car- and a splendid blocker. Barksdale weighs only 1C5 pounds, but he rims hard, and he'll make a Rood fullback for tho Yale formation. Odcll spent the summer grooming Jake Hall for the important qiuii'tcrback slot.

Meanwhile, the Yale team worked with all-out effort to prepare- for the meeting with the New London Cartels, recognising that they have polished their attack in soundly spanking both Bates and 'Tufts by large margins and are pointing especially for this game. The services of both "Walker, an end, and Huns on, a freshman tackle, will be needed to bottle up the three-pronged ground and overhead attack of ihc Coast Guard which has netted them 73 points in the two games they have away in the win column. Walker is a 200-pounder, while Hanson packs an additional ten pounds.

America Music" Program; Brandwynne Orch. 'Music Orch. By BERNARD BRENNER United Vrem Staff There's an old proverb that says: "Beware the Greeks bearing But it doesn't say anything about the fellow who bears gifts to a. man like Larry MePhail for instance. Larry went to California once -with a gift for a Greek second Kampouris.

It was contract to play league baseball for the Cincinnati Reds. Larry was rebuilding the Cincinnati Reds at that time. He was devoting most of his days during the 1934 season to cleaning house rounding up a fresh, young team to give the Reds a new start in J930. Larry wanted to bring most of his new men up from the minors. The club didn't have enough money to buy top major league stars and Larry didn't want to bring in fading -veterans.

Reports begun, to trickle in from one of the Cincinnati scouts on the Pacific coast about a youngster named Alex Kampoui-is. The kid played for Sacramento in the Pacific Coast league. the scout told McPhall that Alex was the kind of player the Reds wanted. Alex was in his third year with Sacramento in 1934. Already the word was spreading that the kid could field anything he could see.

They said he could make double plays with the best of them. And in the batting department wel). Alex hit .304 in 1933. which is good enough for a flashy inlielder. The Cincinnati scout told McPhail to get Kampouris quickly, before some other major league club moved in to grab him.

And in July of 3934 Larry flew to California to watch Kampouris play. He had heard enough to convince him the kid knew what to do on the diamond. But there was one other thing he wanted to could Alex take he have the nerve and fight to stand up in the majors? So MePhail was bearing a gift when he arrived in there was a string attached. Larry looked around for a way to test the young second baseman he found the hard way. Me- Phail found that Archie Campbell had once pitched for the starting against Sacramento for the Hollywood club.

Campbell had worked for McPhail at Columbus, too, and Larry went to the pitcher. ilcPhail's proposition was this: He wanted Campbell to make his first pitch to Kampouris a "duster," He wanted that first one to come in high and hard towards the second baseman's head, driving him into the dirt to get away from it. After that Larry said he'd watch Alex Kampouris' face the rex riitch. If he. paled and backed away from the Larry want any pan.

of him But if he crowded in and whaled away without any he was the kind of lighting ballplay or McPhn.il wanted for his club. At first Campbell wouldn't agree He didn't want to take any char.ce of hurling the youngster. But thoj talked it over with Campbell's manager nnd decided that just once wouldn't hurt. Kampouris stepped in against Campbell and the pitcher came through with a roaring fast one. Alex hit dirt.

Then he got up, dusted off his pants and picked up his stick. McPhail leaned forward in his seat watching closely. Campbell wound up for the next one and poured it in. Alex Kampouris stood up there. He didn't flinch or back away.

He stepped into that pitch and caught it on the it far and away. Larry McPhail settled back i'n hi.s seat. Kampouris was his man and he gave the Greek his gift.
