To all appearances the New Brit- ain High school football team has| gone stale on the eve of its all im-| portant game with the New Haven| Hillhouse High school team. Much of the confidence of early| in the week seems to have left the team followers and in the last two nights of practice the asggregation has had no pep. $ince the Adams game the team has lost on an aver- age of three pounds. Some of the| boys have lost as much six | pounds. Loya! rooters would be it Coach Cassidy’s newly orz backfield showed the form it dis- played in the Adams game, but in the last two scrimmages the feam has gone so badly that Billy Ross, quarterback, and Al Middicton, half- back, were taken from the lineup and the former backfield was used again. It consisted quarterback, Grip and Zaleski, half- backs, and Sowka, fullback. E Middleton is handicapped because of a battered shin bone which| causes him to limp while running or/ walking. He did not take part in} the scrimmage last night but he was on the field in uniform. After| taking part in the second team signal drill he stayed on the side- lines. After the backfield, minus Ross and Middleton, had played a few minutes, Zaleski was tiken ou and Ross went into the game. L ter Ross was taken out and Zaleski finished the scrimmage. Mike Grip played through the entire scrim- mage. The only other change was at right guard. Dumin was not on hand being forced to receive treat- ment from a dentist. Mikalauskas | took his place. The situation on the New Britain squad now is that there are twd as Least Landino, |" good lines and no backtic 1d Coach Ca in his power to build up the morale of the team for the New Haven game but he will have a tough job.

The intersectional argument will be continued by Carnegie's trip to South Bend to play Notre Dame, Missouri's battle with New York University at the Yankee Stadium and Detroit's visit to the Polo Grounds to meet Fordham. All three of these offer prospects of ex- citing canflict among teams with some of the best records of any in the East or Mid-West.

BASKETBALL QUINTET TO START SEASON TOMORROW Bridgeport Team of Brothers to Furnish Opposition In Initial Game—Local Squad Will Probably Develop Into Fast Combination — McElwain and Williams Expected to Be Here For Opening Contest—Visit-, ors Will Furnish Real inary. LOGALS SCOFF AT HARTFORD THREAT Nutmeg Football Team Unper- furbed at Changes in Lineup Members of the Nutmeg A. C. football team assembled together last night for a practice session be- fore the second state championship game with the Hartford Giants in this city next Sunday, scoffed at the fears expressed by some of the fans over the addition to the Hartford lineup of such stars as “Zev" Gra- ham. They are supremely confident that Graham will not be able to turn the result of the game one way or the other although they realize that he is going to add a great deal of strength to the Hartford backfleld. The local team showed up in great shape all through the drill 1gst night. The backfleld has its signals down to perfection and whether or not Johnny Grip plays with Hartford or New Britain, the team feels confident that the plays will serve to baffle Hartford enough to win. “Unk” Conley will probably he back in form for the game Sunday. He went stale last week and laid off to regain his form. Last night he reported that he is in shape again and he will probably be at his usual post at end when the game starts. Opposite him will be Burns. At the tackles will be Conklin and Wer- waiss, both of whom played a whale of a game last Sunday in Stapleton. The mainstays of the team, Hum- phreys and Gnasdow will be at the guards with Ed Keenan in reserve. O'Neil and Rogers will alternate at center. Radzewich will direct the team from quarterback with Buckley and Belonki at the halfbacks. Davis will play fullback with .Griswold and Claire in reserve. The game Sunday afternoon will start promptly at 2:30 o'clock and the largest crowd of the season will be on hand, it is expected. Civic Bowling League To Start Schedule The civic bowling league spon- sored by the Chamber of Commerce officially opens its schedule at the Rogers alleys this evening at 5:15 o'clock.

For the first time in weeks, the entire aquad was in uniform. Mike Mikelski and 8tan Weiss, crippled guards, watched practice. Tt is im- probable that Mikeski will see action against Harvard but Weiss may be able to play. 1.|pick the Test — Girls Play Prelim- Everything is in readiness for tha opening of the pro basketball season in this city tomorrow night. The New Britain team meets the Con- necticut Yankees of Bridgeport in the first battle of the season and plenty of interest is being displayed by the sporting fraternity in the ree sumption of the game. The visiting delegation, a comi- bination of five brothers, is consid- ered an extra strong opcning game opponent and New Lritain will ha to travel all the way to win, accord- ing to reports. The local syuad showed mid-season form in its last practice sessions and Manager Clar- encg Lanpher is optimistic over tha prospects for another state chame pionship team, The team will most probably start off with Sloman and McElwain at forwards, Zakzewski at center and Leary and Sheehan at guard. Wil- liams will probably be on hand to- morrow night to take part in the game. Present also will he a strong combination of reserve material in- cluding Holst, Sturm, Taylor, Ree stelli and M. Luke, The Bridgeport team lineup will be all Ahlstrand. The five brothers individually have been stars on vari- ous well known quintets and al though they are playing their first season as a quintet, they are con- fident of taking the measure of the New Britain tean. The New Britain girls tcam will meet the Manchester Recreation girls in the preliminary game. This will be a most severe test for the ability of the local combination am the Silk Towners are conside among the best in the state. The first game will start promptly at 8 o'clock. The main feature will start at 9 o'clock. Billy Coyle will referce and dancing will fellow. PAWNEES 10 PLAY AT HARTFORD VELODROME Local Football Team to Battle Strong All-Burnside Eleven in Capital City Sunday Bunday afternoon the Pawnees' football team will engage the strong All-Burnside eleven at the Fast Hartford velodrome. Last season the locals swamped Burnside 16 to 0 and they are confident that they can again come out on top. The Burnside team, however, s & stronger combination this year. The Pawnees held a stiff workout last night and Manager Quarti re- ports his team is in good shape. Following the battle Sunday, Coaches .Turner and Gianotta will lineup that will start against the Blues the following week. New combinations in the back- fleld will be tried out Sunday neces- sitating changes.
