Stapleton last season defeated All- New Britain 7 to 0 in @ close game.

EASTERN TEAMS IN WEST TODAY Princeton and Pennsylvania Seeking Gregter Grid Honors Chicago, Nov. 3 P—The brightest intersectional football program in the Big Ten's history topped today's schedule as teams from the south and east, Princeton, Alabama and Pennsylvania, invaded the west.

I Billy Ross. | mighty MIDDLETON WILL PLAY WITH TEAM Declared Eligible for High School Eleven in Today’s Game Hard work and study which have occupied every minute of his spare time have enabled Al Middleton, foothall player, to become eligible in studies. He entered school from Dean Academy on a transfer about two or three weeks ago and he made up a month and a half of work in that time. He completed the work late last night. He will be in the backfield of the team in the Adams game at Willow Brook park this afternoon. Credit should be given Middleton because his work was in the school’s most difficult course, the college preparatory course and his studies were English, Spanish, chemistry and mathematics. According to the pre-game dope put forward by Coach George M. Cassidy, Middeleton is to replace Alex Zaleski at right halfback. This is probably the most radical change the coach has made in several years since Zaleski is a regular of two years’ standing. but the coach is fol- lowing a decision made after the Stamford game that he will ghift the team freely until he gets a combina- tion that can beat Hartford. The rest of the backfield will con- sist of Billy Ross, quarterback; Cap- tain Landino, halfback; and Eddie Sowka, fullback. The addition of Middleton to the backfield is not the only change made there during the past week. substitute quarterback since the beginning of the season, has been shifted to the first team and Captain Louis Landino has been shifted to halfback in place of Mike Grip and Henry Kraszewski vho have been alternating there since the Stamford game. The only mem- her of the original backfield who is holding his place, is Kddie Sowka, the team’s fullback and punter. Coach Cassidy will use the same line that started the Coast Guard game last week. It will consist of Irank Casale, center; Bill Kuhs and John Dumin, guards; John Szymag- ski and Joe Ludinowicz, tackles; and Joe Bogdanski and Gunnard Nelson, cnds, The fans have been hearing so much about Middleton that they will probably go down to the field ex- pecting him to take the ball on the first play and run through the entire Adams team for a touchdown. That's possible but not probable. He will he facing a v strong line which has not heen scored on in straight He will be work- ing with a backfield that has not been with him except in a few practice sessions, and he will be weighed down with the knowledge | that the crowd is expecting him to do wonders.These things will work againet him. Too much cannot he expected of He never played foot- I before this year and he is in a difticult position, that of quarterback and safety man. An- ofher fact is that he is very light, tipping the scales at 139 pounds. The Adams squad did not leave its home until shortly after §:30 o'clock this morning and as it will stop for Tunch, it will not arrive in this city until about 2 o'clock. Since the feam will have fo dress it is probable that the game will start later than the scheduled 2:30 o'clock time.

Of course, early November out- look is entirely different from what it will be after Thanksgiving Day. But enough scintillating perform- ances have been turned in by stars of every football sector to serve warning that the choice of four backfield performers who will find practically unanimous agreement from experts the country over will be as hard this year as any other. The outstanding backficld per- former of the season so far fis Christian Keener Cagle, ace of the West Point eleven. His team iz playing one of the hardest schedules ever planned, having met and de- feated Southern Methodist, Yale and Harvard during October. In all games Cagle starred. His bril- liant performances have caused critics to compare him with the backfield greats of all time. Other outstanding backs in the east during October were Al Mars- ters of Dartmouth, Kenneth Strong of New York University, Paul Scull of Pennsylvania, Hal Baysinger of Syracuse, Howard Harpster of Car- negic Tech, Al Wittmer of Prince- | ton, Johnny Garvey of Yale—and | that is only part of the list.

BLUES TO FURNISH HOME GRID BATTLE FOR FANS Local Combination to Appear For Second Time This Year at Willow Brook Park—Playing Mohicans of Meriden as Star Attraction—Hardware City Outfit Expecting to Win — Silver City Eleven Has Won Two Games Over Rangers—Game to Start Prompt- ly at 2:30. BRIDGEPORT WILL | INVADE THIS ITY Park City Soccer Combination Has Yet to Suffer Defeat The Bridgeport Celtics in the State Soccer Ball league will invade this city tomorrow afternoon to mix it up with the All-New Dritain team at Willow Brook park. The game will begin at 2:45 o'clock. The Celtics will come here with a clean slate. In the five games that the team has taken part it came out a winner in four and tied with its opponents in the fifth en- gagement. It has one of the strong- est lineups in the state and will come here with its full strength. which means that the locals will have plenty of opposition and with the result that the game ought to turn out to be of the highest calibre as_soccer ball games go. Some weeks ago the two teams met in Bridgeport but the game ended in a free-for-all. When yet several minutes to play remained a fight among the players started. Part of the crowd which numbered some 2,000 fans rushed onto the field and when they would not leave the referee called the game ended, giving Bridgeport the game, since it was leading by a score of 2 to 1. The game was protested but the state league board awarded the game to the Celtics, ‘The outsiders are a fast moving bunch of players and full of (@t and with the locals all primed to go the same way the fans are in for plenty of excitement. The probable linelup of the local team will be as folows: Goal, G. Thoma; right back, ¥. Gechimsky; eft back, L. Blekle; right back, P. Gechismsky: center halfback, Lorch; left halfback, H. Schiffert: right ofrward, K. Lindberg: right forward, N. Wallace: center for- ward, F. Urban: left forward. C. Atkin and left forward. W. Haupt. Richard Haupt will probably be used also.

Meriden has already scored tvi\'o victories to one for New Brit- ain. Some of the best football matere ial in the S8ilver City is playing with the Mohicans and they have piled up an impressive record this season 80 far. The Blues have a hard task confronting them, but because of their impressive play so far this year, the dopesters are returning them winners in the contest. This will mark the second home appearance of the Blues this year, The team has played most of its games on the road but in its one game here against the Pioneers of Hattford, the Blues scored an im- pressive victory. The team worked out last Thurs- day night and the plays and sig- nals went through to the satisfac- tlon of Coach Zwick. All of the players are in excellent condition for the game and a stiff battle is anticipated. The contest will start promptly at 2:30 o’clock. FIGHTS LAST NIGHT By the Assoclated Pren Buffalo, N.
