B, ON TRAIL OF SILVER CITY JINX Red and Gold Has Eight Men Eligible for Meriden Gontest Lineups for tomorrow's game; NoB WS LaMar Reynokds McCabe Nelpp Weir Kaufman Tomorrow night the High school basketball team will play Meriden High at the High school gymnasium, Records Favor Locals As far as records are concerned the Red and Golld team has it on ita 8il- ver City rival, but, the visitors always play their best against New Hritain whether in football, basketball, or football, Last year the Red and Gold fell twice before their downstate rivals but this year the Franklin Bquare boys expeet to even up the count, Not #ince a year ago has a New Britain High school team heen able to take !a fall out of a Meriden team, so by beating the Silver City quintet, the Hardware City team will break the Jinx that is hovering over them when they play Meriden, A report from a downstate newspaper has it that Meri- den will take the New Britain team into camp without much trouble, The record of the New Britain team so far is six victories and one defeat. For the first time this season, the team will have all its eight men elig- ible. In every game so far it was this player or that was ineligible. Now that they are all eligible the team can g0 on in quest of state honors. The following men are on the first squad: Reynolds, LaHar, McCabe, Welr, Bel- ser, Grip and O'Brien. There is some éonfusion about se- curing a referee. The Meriden men- tor objects to “Chick” Hayes and ex- presses his disapproval in emphatic terms. The Meriden crew claims that its chances of winning against Bris, tol were handicapped because of his unfairness. It is extremely doubtful whether “Dick” Dillon can be secur- ed, but it he is signed it would save mere than onc argument that is sure to arise when Meriden and New Brit- ain play.
