mu“.’.‘.z Speaking of Sports hasaaaa sl L 1) Continuing our inquiry into the sad state of affairs in New Britain High school athletics, we arise to ask: Why has a game heen sched- uled for nmext Saturday with Colle- glate “Prep” of New Haven? | Why could not the scheduling of- | ficials see that nothing could pos-| sibly come out of such a game th would be of benefit since there is 1o schiool rivalry, nothing in the world to attract attention or inter- cst to the game, and nothing but a Jull, drab game in prospect? Why, when it was known a week in advance of the opening of this; seagon that the East Hartford teain had cancelled the game, was there no substitute game booked, partic- ularly when the variance in opening dates in high schools would scem to make this a comparatively casy thing to do? Why wasn't someone “on the job” sufficiently to arrange a game for! the Saturday before last when that date, according to authentic infor- mation, was an open date on the scheduls for more than a month? Why has the team for several sea- sons past made an annual trip far into the mountains of Vermont to | play Troy Conference Academy, @ school which 99 44-100 per cent of | the people of New DBritain have nev- er seen—and perhaps don't care if they never do? Why, if New Britain High is to, play Troy Conference under the present regime, would it not have been just as consistent for the team to have been taken to New York to play some tributary of Fordham when Dave Dunn was coach, of some “prep” school of Middlebury, when Keek Parker was at the helm? Why {8 it that New Britain, a city located in a state which com- prises 168 cities and towns, must go | out of its own boundaries to hook three of the seven games that are Lo make up the schedule? Why should the public not b pected to set up a howl against ex- isting conditions and a demand that those responsible either “snap into it or fold up their tents and silent- ly drift awa Why shouldn't there b tization by someone intercsted, to learn if all or any of the cities with which New Britain has split ath- letically, have as lar number ot | untriendly e 0 their list as | las the N.

FIGAT TEMPTATION Folks Pitfalls of Rather Than Rescue Fallen.

He was discussing “preven- tive religion.” | “One ounce of religious preven- tion is worth a whole pound of religious cure,” he said. J | Preventive religlons like medicine ofters immunity and a prophylactic eifect as well as the sccurity that comes from established habits. Dr. Fosdick likened preventive re- | ligions to inoculaiion against moral | disease. He spoke of Lindbwrgh as an example of positive purpose. | Tven when the flaer was offered a | million dollar theatrical contract. he Y.eld to his fdeal of the advancement ' of aviation alone. “The one thing better than bring- ing the prodigal son back from a | far eountry is to keep him home in the tirst place,” said Dr. Fosdick.

But despite the reliance place &0 well on the right side of the lin it was the left wing which wa called upon to withstand the W Pointers' greatest threat, The Army had a first down on the seven-yard line and was given five yards on a penalty, but Quarrier and Greene threw back the attack four times with a combined gain of but a yard, stopping the advance less than three | feet from the goal line and a West | Point victory. | Had Meehan resorted to open play with the touchdown so close he would probably have scored, just as Lane did against Harvard, for Yale gathered en about Charles- worth and the cadets could not have gone through the pile with a tra tor and plow.” Mechan went on the fact that a straight line is the short- est path, but Le found it was 1o < Phic cadets mixed up their attack hut kept 1o orthodox foothall—for that matter, it was seldom hard to tell just what play either team would use next. “Light Horse Harry” Wil- | son, in his strange position behind his right end, was watched det minedly and was not able to break vay for any of his sensational runs in fact. he was frequently nailed for los: 3 It fell to Cagle and NMurrell to make West Point's yardage and they galloping 50 yards in two plays \tsone stuge, but that could not he Kept up with fast ends like Fish- wick and Bcott breaking through on them.
