S’pe-kingi of Sports There are plenty of “sour grapes” in Hartford today and for two very §oed reasons. The New Britain high went to Hartford and had the nerve te beat the Hartford high team Sat- ; urday when the cards were all stacked against it and to make mat- ters worse, the Nutmegs yesterday smeared the Hartford Glants in the deciding game of the three-game series for the professional football championship ef the state. “Dear Oid Fordhum"” is the way one Hartferd writer started off in his account of the Nutmeg game, al- luding te thiree players who were , 8dded to New Britain’s lineup yes- terday. He was right but we ask if 1t n't the same case a week be- fore when the Hartford Gilants im- rted “Zev"’ Graham and Johnny rip? The cops were even sore yesterday because in the news items today it appears that three New Britain fans were arrested at the game for *in- terfeting with 8 peanut vendor.” Uneanny the way the cops picked out three New Britain men when, as we saw it from the New Britain gide of the field, nearly the entire Hartford delegation of fans was trying to take @ shot at the New Britain partisans. Well, there might be something woerse happen that to have New Britain take two straight games from Hartford. New Rritain might start out-to tell the Hartfordites that they aren't in the same class with New Britatn but the fans here take teo much enjoyment out of the sit- uation when New Britain bests Hart- ford to spoil the annual joy-fests. “Pee-wee"” Werwaiss got a lot of unfavergble publicity over nothing at all yesterday. It was reported that he was going to sue the Nutmeg management for meoney. He ab. solutely refused to play in Sunday's geme. Bunday came and although he was & few minutes late, “Pee- came along and got into the We were well repaid for our near- ly frozen feet seeing Politia catch these two forward passes. We no- " ticed that Judge Bill Mangan fh the stands, celebrated the events with “whoopee” while Umpire Harry Ginsberg couldn't surpress a chuckle at the sight of one of his proteges romping almost over for a touch- down. Belleve us, Fordham was well rep- resented on the New, Britain team vesterday. Bautt and Beloin to- gether with Politis, will be remem- bered for some time because of their work vesterday. We want te sce them here again If the Nutmegs play some more, Johnny Grip went to Orange, they tell us, yesterday. Tom Leary land- ed a nice job playing end for Staple- ten. Tom was remembered from Inst season when All-New Britain nayed there and Stapleton wanted him badly this season. He started vosterday with the team against the (‘anten Bulidogs. Incldentally, 8taleton won by the score of 27 to 0, Nl':l Britain lost by the score of 12 to 0. The report was made public yes- terday that the New Britain High NUTMEGS DEFEAT HARTFORD GIANTS (Continued from Preceding Page) penalized 15 yards for use of hands.

Hartford was working an off-tackle play which is the feature of its attack year in and year out. Ward ran through left tackle to the four yard line.

Tackle—Ghetto, Pittsburgh. Guard—Dreshar, Carnegie Tech. Center—Howe, Princeton. Guard—Douds, W. & J. Tackle—Lassmaa, N, Y. U. End—8mniith, Boston College. Quarterback—Harpster, Carncgic Tech, Halfback—Strong N. Y. U. Cagle, Army. Scuil, Peunsylvania, By Frank Getty United Press Sports Editor New York, Nov. 26 (UP)—On the gridiron of the ecast, this fall, com- petition was keener than for many seasons. No single eleven which met major opponents cane through with- out defeat, The struggle for football supre- macy was more general and better balanced than ever before, which in- creased the difficulty of selecting an all-castern cleven, since a player's qualifications inevitably ave reflected | in his team's success. | castern eleven of 1925 has wwo play- ers from each of the three leading teams of the east, not hecause of the regords of those teams but be- cause, In the opinion of more than « score of coaches and officials who | watched them play, these men were the outstanding stars of the season. New York University, Carnegie ‘Tech and Army each have two rep- resentatives, Pittsburgh. Pennsyl- vania, Princeton, Boston College and Washington and Jefferson one each. To be named for the United Press eleven, representing as It does a consensus of the leading critics of foothall, & player had to maintain a high level of play throughout the season. With competition so keen, games and blased by indifferent a reputation built up in one or two | every bit as good, although a marked man in every game. Lou Young, head coach of the University of Pennsylvania, says of Scull: “Paul Scull, our captain, is the best all-around football player 1 have seen in 15 years. I thought we had a good fullback in Kruez but this boy far out-shadows him, Per- sonally, I think he is the best player in the country today, bar none.” Scull's kicking and tremendous defensive power, in addition to his plunging and receiving of forward passes made him an inevitable choice team-mate to Harpster, Strong and Cagle. Chuck Howe of Princeton, captain of the 1928 Tiger team, was selected as the best center after considerable discussion of the abilities of West- gute of Penn, Cox of Colgate, Hall of Army and Aschman of W. & J. The Princeton leader was probably the bext man in the east in the heat of battle, Douds of Washington and Jeffer- son, who played tackle on the of- fense and fullback on the defense on a comparatively weak eleven, was named by every coach who saw him in action as the greatest linesman of the year. His 200 pounds of weight and his great strength and size make him an ideal guard for the all-eastern eleven, which fact per- mits the inclusion of two superh tackles, neither of which could be left off. 5 At the other guard is Dreshar of | Carnegie Tech around whose staunch defense and behind whose irresisti- ;ble, massive thrust, the success of It happens, however, that the all- 11" Skibos revolved. Dreshar was the best guard in the cast. Two mighty tackles, rangy, fast and brainy, flany this center trio. Mike Ghetto of Pitt and Al Lassman of N. Y. U. Were the greatest tackles of the eastern season. Ghetto let nothing through him, was of great help to Pitt's attac! lassman, last year's all-America, lived up fo a high reputation and captained his team as well. The eastern wingmen of 192§ were not up to the standard of previous years as a whole, yet we have & great pair of ends on this all-eastern eleven in Messinger of the Army and Smith of Boston College's unbeaten and untied team. Messinger, a bril- liant receiver of the forward pass, wan an aggressive end who frequent- work at other times was no recom- mendation for consideration, Beyond a doubt, this backfield of Howard Harpster, Ken Strong, Chris Cagle and Paul Scull is the greatest cver assembled for a mythical all- castern eleven. Each of the four could do everything there is to bhe {done with a football these days, and do It to perfection. In Harpster, the field general of Carnegie Tech. we have one of the brainiest quarter- backs of modern times and a triple threat man of infinite capabilities. Ken 8trong and Chris Cagle were the two greatest halfbacks of the jvear, and that goes for the entire country, Neither was stopped all season. Strong was the greatest ground-gainer and the highest scor- ing back of the season; Cagle was HOUSE NAMES GOAT BY \ -KIWDLE A\ NAMES OF MY OLD BEAUX, By AHERN we NoU OLP LARD -TUB !-"" «wABoUT EVERY “THREE \EARS, Vou "THINK You CAN GET MV | BRINGING UP “THE ly went behind the opposing line and brought down & hali carrier head=d in the other direction. Smith was & unanimous choice of those who saw him in action, an end of infinite, ali- around ability. There were dozens of other out- standing players who deserve hon- orable mention for their work this season. Some of them are included in the selection of second and third all-eastern elevens by the United Press. Second all-eastern eleven: Donchess, Pittsourgh, end. Mooney, Georgetown_ tackle.

Defeated in its opew~ ing game last Mondpy after a hece {tic enconter which ended with the {club but two points behind, the East |Main street quintet is seeking to |prove its mettle by scoring a win {over the New Haven Speedboys, who will oppose them this eveming. The visilors are employed by the New Haven railroad. Several of them have played against club teams before when the railroad teams have come up to this city, out this present combination is reputed to be the stronglst one the “New Haven” road has turned out. Against this foe Coach Ray An- derson will pit the same starting lineup as he used last week. With Goffa and Grusha cautioned against the hard playing which resulted in the calling of fouts on them a wee ago, it is hoped that the locals can present their full strength throng- out the game and not suffer again from the disqualification of regu- lars. The boys showed they had plenty of stuff in the first game and tonight they are looking for a win. In the preliminary game the Boys' |Club Reserves, who staged a great come-back Friday night after los- |ing their first encounter, will meet |the strong Phantom Reserves of this city. Rivalry between the two teams has been intense for two seasons, and a hot battle is predicted. The main game will be fellowed by dancing.

UTH'S FULL SIZE. ., The biggest dollar’s worth...in the N Bevore I Wod Nou od school team took advantage of one big “break” to win the game against Hartford Public High school. It was claimed that Landino clutch- ed the ball eut of the air on a ::mblt and ran into the line with Nothing could be any farther from the truth. In the first place it was Sowka who finally got the ball and it was not on a fumble. Landino took a direct pass from center and threw a lateral pass over the heads of two in-coming Hartford linemen and Sowka did the clutching and ran to Hartford's 11 yard line. Looking at the game from standpoint of a disinterested spec- tator, one cannot help but admit that the Hardware City team out- Played its opponent. the For the first time in many years Hartford came out with a student band. The old Philharmonic band was there representing New Britain. Captain Tommy Hayden showed himself to be a true sportsman in defeat. Immediately after the game he togk the ball from Dobkin whe waé tackled in the last play of the game, ran over to Landino and gave him the ball with the word: gratulations, Louis.’ filled with tears he turned and ran to the Hartford bench. Albert Loomis of Grove Hill re- eently received a broken finger while leying football at Loomis institute. is is Albert's first year at the game. Another Linesman May Captain Yale Eleven New Haven, Nov. 26 (UP)—The prebability that anether linesman would lead the 1929 Eli eleven was discussed on the Yale campus to- day. A majority of Yale gridiron leaders have played in the line. Waldo (Firpo) Greene of Hunt- ington, Pa., guard, and Frank Mar- tin of Denton. Tex., tackle, were be- lieved the most likely candidates. Both memn have won the football “Y" twice. Greene was captain of his freshman squad.
