Speaking of Sports Rumors of a rift in the peaceful harmony of the All-New Britain football team bave been spreading about the city since the last practice on Wednesday evening. . What the particulars ot ‘the cause for the in- harmonlous explosion ‘are, cannot be definitely settled because of the fact that no definite statement. is being made concerning them: by elther the players iovolved or the manage- ment, — Business Manager Ed Dalley stat- ed today that all was gerene with- in.the ranks, but others claim that such is not the case. The difficulty {s over financlal arrangements be- tween the players and the manage- ment, according to ell dope and in matters of this sort, the argument passes out of our jurisdiction. In other words, it is none ‘of our busi- ness, ‘We have been asked several times what the rumors all amounted to and after talking with Ed Dalley, about the matter, he tells us that everything has been stralghtened out and that the team will be. in for all it is worth against the West Sldes in Hartford Sunday afternoon.

Nowhere in this city is basket- ball flourishing as it is at the New Britaln Boys' club. There have been 86 many applicants for places on teams that it has been found necessary to form several leagues, and with more teams coming in every day every night in the week will be taken up with games of all sorts, The New Britain high school foot- ball team will rest this week be- propriate name given to any position else but tackle all day long. because they are at the end of the Angelo of [line of scrimmage. the plvot man, pamed because they center of the line against the on- slaughts of the offensive team than that of territory. fullback are called such because of their relative stationed positions be- | hard fight. That is just what the |cause of the fact that Manager Bill fans of this city like, a hard fight and no Hartford team has ever been able to beat New Britaln in a good fight. Manager Clarence Lanpher of the National Guards basketball team in announcing that the team would practice tonight, also stated that he and the officlals of the team would take steps tonight to prevent that crowd of wayfarers from using the armory floor during practice ses- sions. It seems that every night on which the team has practiced there have been so many aespirants for a chance to shoot at the hoop, that the team is getting nowhere in lits initial stages. Coach Billy Dudack {s about ready to make his selections for the first string five and after this is done, the team will get down to real busi- ness, The team will hold practice gessions twice a week in the near future and Manager Lanpher ex- pects to be able to announce the first game detalls. within the next foew daye. Tomorrow afternobn at Trinity field {n Hartford the Hartford high football eleven will clash with the New Haven Hillhouse eleven in a triangular game. This contest hes an important bearing on the New Britain-Hartford high game because if Hartford beats New Haven, it will throw them into a tle with New Britain while if Hillhouse wins, New TRritain will have to beat Hartford te win the champlonship, Fistic fans about the state will wateh With interest the return of Willle Shugrue, youngest member of the Shugrue family of Waterbury, to the ring in Torrington next Fri- day night. Shugrue has been on the fistic shelf for some time and his re- Regan was unable to fill tomorrow, which {s an open date. Coach Cas- sldy has kept his men working just as hard as if there was a battle scheduled tomorrow, and he will whip them around next week in preparation for Crosby high school, the second last gams of the season. On Saturday, Nov. 14, New Brit- ain high school will elash with Hartford high in this eity in what has always been the most important game on the local team's echedule. Hartford papers of yesterday seemed inclined to give New Britain the vio- tory already, but announcements such 8s these don't effect the New Britajn players at all. Hartford teams may be poor against any other teams, but when they meet New Britain elevens they are at their best. The fighting instinet secems to b lacking in the Hartford squad, but that's just what New Britain has a great deal of. The game two weeks from tomorrow will be the classic ot recent years and New Britain people are patlently awaiting the call tor the teams to line up. Ap- parently, more interest is being shown in the game than ever before. The Rangers football team will have a tough game on tap Sunday when the eleven faces the Thomp- sonville eleven in that town.

It is rather obvious then, that most of, the positions on & football | team are named because of their relative station, while the tackle position 18 so named because of the duties performed. The dutles of tackle are diversi- fled. They are varied according to whether a team i8 on the defensive or offensive, Because of the di- versified dutles, the best tackle will be one who lg a quick thinker, fast aggressive and persevering. A tackle must have a good phy- slque. to be a tower of strength on fensive and powerful enough make holes for his backs on offensive, On offensive play there is no more important task for the tackle than to make holes, along with the other linemen, for the backs to run througt. In modern football, many offen- | sive plays have been devised that call for the tackle to be brought out of the line of scrimmage and placed in the interference in order de- to the to glve the formations the maxi- mum strength. In other words thers is not a single play in which the tackle does not participate. 1If the play is & line buck, the tackle with the other linemen, makes holes in the opposing line of scrimmage. If it is an end run to either the long or short side, the tackle fs placed in the interference to take ieither the opposing ends or lead the play through and take the first man of the secondary defense, whether it be defensive center, fullback or helfback. Often on forward pass plays the tackle is brought out of the line of scrimmage to protect the passer. This is done because the tackle is not needed in the line as it gives the offensive team one more eligible man to receive the pass. In a punt formation when a punt is the play, the tackle is often sent down the field along with the ends in an effort to get the receiver in his tracks. In other words the tackle is just about the busiest person on the football field. Join the Y.M.C.
