There is one answer and only ‘one to be made to the que lates to football teams and proje in this section of the country. It is the lack of inter-city battles with its attendant rivalry that is fast Xilling the sport which in the fall always held the center of fhe sport stage. True it is that the weather this year caused a great deal of pense that under normal conditi would not have had to be borne b the clubs, but even at t , events of the past and of the pre prov the contehtion that the lack of i erest in professional football is due mainly to the fact that there is no rivalry between the teams ged in the game. Travel back as far as you Will, there is the proof of the assertion all along the line. Where can be eny football games that can dr the interest of the fans like that the old time Nutmegs used to play. Was It because the teams that visited New Bri ) their rosters famous colle stars whose greatest t with regard to football seems to be a good pub- licity agent? Was it because these teams were the champlons of this league or that league that every game used to draw a crowd? Rather, w t was the W Haven, t the Willlams of Meriden, All-Hartfords or other teams from Connecticut were battling it out with the local team for an i y myth known as the state champion- ship. w e torinskiuoe the mEating of = b s and the by tow years back ritain T team conducted An imp; the game was a long and forth, it w game played o Hanover Park Al to infe to Meriden and s of this city follow t} Could the Ha playing the Canton Meriden and have from ever: tend?
