The N. B. M, B foothall team yesterday held its last practice in preparation for the coming game with the Connecticut Agricuitural college freshman cam at st Mary's field Saturday, With the possible ex ception of the Taft [Prepuratory school, the team will be the strong- ot to fage the Red and Gold team this season. Have Strong Team The yearlings from the town of Storrs have met the Hurdware City teum only once before in its history, and that was two years ugo when the champlonship N. B, H. 8 team of that year defeated the college boys in the last minute of play when “Dixie” Griffin ran across the goal line with the winning touchdown as the final whistle blew. The game had been & furious battle throughout, and it was not until this famous play was made that the battle was decided. YThe Storrs team is sald to be even stronger this year. They have played threc games apgd to date they haven't been scored off. They defeated the Crosby High school of Waterbury, the Willimantic kigh school, and| played a scoreless tie with the team of the Springfield college freshmen. Line-up Shifted Carlton Walker, acting captain and fullback, has been shifted to right end and Bkelly, center on the second team, has been shifted to Walker's plge at fullback in the practices held this week, but the shift did not work at all well. Walker seems lost at end and Bkelly did not look at home in the backWeld, although he hit the Jine harder than Walker in the past few games, but his all around work in the position was not that of a finished performer. Probably a little experience in the backficld would change matters & bit. In the opinion of many it would not be a good plan to keep Walker at end since this would necessitate the shifting of an- other player to end while Walker is punting or kicking off. Giana Good, But Light. Giana, who is being replaced by Walker, is a mighty good man if tackling was to be considered, but he i weak -on the offense and is too light to take out interference. He is the lightest man on the téam weighing in the neighborhood of 130 pounds. It iy expected that Walker will be shift- ed back to fullback for the game Sat- urday, and that Giana will play end. A shift in another direction may be made soon if not this week. Taylor, guard, will probably play although his shoulder is not in the best of condition. “Tubby” Beloin, (Continued on Following Page) 'ROGERS AND GASINO PIN EXPERTS TAKE MATCHES Meriden Bowlodromes Games and Waterbury Only Manage to Get One, Drop Two Lafayottes Last night waa elean-up night for| two loeal state league howling both the Casino and b % five, playing their final home rolled & two Lo one vietory respective rivaly, the La. fayettes Watorbury and the Merh den Rowlodromes Al games were very close.

The splendid showing made by the locals last Sunday, has got the fans talking again, and a big crowd s expected to witness the con- | test. The Army and Navy eleven is unld to be a speedy one. Last Sunday at Torrington, the Silk Town team gave Gene Cumming’s eleven a warm argu- ment. The backfield of the locals is in" a machine-like manner. “Ching” Hammil is the “man of the hour,” playing the quarterback position. He ran the team in.a speedy manner last S8ynday. Hammil likes his new position, With Barnikow, Bab- cock and Tickey, the local directors are elated, and it appears as though one of the best organized backfields in Connecticut is wearing the livery of the New Britain club, After Sunday's game, the locals will begin to point for the clagsic of the season on the road, the game with the Steam Rollers at Providence.
