NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1926. Speaking of Sports [oooosseasaassansastacssssnnnsasssessasesast A group of fans have presented a wager to the Herald sports depart- ment for settlement, raising this hypothetical question: A offers to bet the Yanks will win, and B re- plies, “a bet.” The score resulfs in a tie. Who wins? Such a question was presented to an eminent sporting authority some time ago and he declared the bet was off unless it had been specified that in the event of a tle B is the This conclusion is reached on the broad general principle of sports- manship which insists on an even orting chance for both parties. other decision would give B o bets against one. He wins if the Cardinals score more runs, and he wins if the game is a tie. On the other hand A s but one bet, Of course it can be argued that B has put over a “trick bet” and is entitled to collect. 'Thi~'is aside from a sporting question and the ethics of sports are not consistent with such a claim. . “Doc” Bray starred in the open- g game of the Vermont man team when he scored two touchdowns in the clash with Troy Conference academy. e is the only New Britain candidate {hat was q abla to survive the keen competi- tion in the freshman squad. teanis. When it.returned. in the last quarter, it again scored two touch- downs, the last.one by Bray. Here is a list of the weight of the team “Doc” is playing with Left end, 192; left tackle, rd, 194; center, 1 guard, 182; left end, 1 1 quarterback; left ha 184 right half back, “Doc” is by ‘far the lightest man U on the squad. The nearest is the L center, who weighs 171.

From present appearances it seems that the contest at Clarkin field tomorrow afternoon will he a howling success, both from a pla ing standpoint and from the slant any attraction been advertised - in this section that has the people talk- ing as much as the present case. As a word of explanation for those who are planning to go to the game tomorrow, it might be well to state that the top price seats are the only ones which are reserved. The second and third price seats will be rush seats and it might be advisable for New DBritain fans to get to Hartford very early so that they might be able to get good seats. ! Fans from all over the state will te on hand to sce the zame and this will mean a big rush for seafs. The grandstand.seats are all rush and the seats in the bleachers along the sidelines are in_the same category. Only the few seats along the sidelines have been reserved and these, it is understood, have almost all been taken. There are plenty of more tickets lett for those who have decided to g0 and the wise bird will be the one who gets to Clarkin field tomorrow early. There is bound to be a jam at the field and the ones who get there first, will be the ones to get the good seats and the public realizes it.

Another bat- tle is in prospect today with the entire power of the Army offensive needed to keep the Cadet slate clean. Two .more southerf elevens of admitted power are hammering away at New York state teams.

Pittsburgh and Lafayette, both elevens products of the Glenn Warner school of coaches, have an 111-Pennsylvania rivalry to settle.
