§Speakln¢ %of Sports tm The Pawnee football team will meet tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock at the home of Ed Quarti at 659 South street. All members of the team are asked to be present as af- fairs of the football season will be closed and a discussion will take place relative to securing club rooms. Plans will also be made for the annual banquet of the club. Interest of roller hockey fans is centering in the appearance of “Kid” Williams, formerly of Meri- den, on the New Britain team. Wil- liams is rated by many who have followed the game for years as one of the greatest players of all time. He is a flash on the floor and an accurate shot for the cage. His best talent is the ability to take the ball off the banks and send it bullet-like towards the opposing cage. Teamed up with Steve Pierce in Meriden last year, the combina- tion was altogether too much for the Test of the league, The Plerce brothers, FEarl and Bteve will be paired together on the Meriden quintet this season. Both are fast although Earl is in no way layer that his brother Steve is. Steve is about the most clever ball handler in the game today. They will be in this city for their first game tomorrow night. Fall River comes here Sunday. This outfit consists of Higgins or Wiley, first rush; Fusari, local boy, second rush; Boucher of last year's New Britain team, center; Brown, also last year with New Britain, at Xalfback, and Purcell, goal. This is an outfit that should make things hot for all opposition, During the past few days the roller polo fever has started to spread until it s already at fever heat. Although some were of the opinion that the game wouldn't meet with success this season, the announcement of a six-club league and the apportionment of the play- ers so that the teams arc nearly all of equal strength, has sct the fans agog and they will be on hand to- morrow night. A crowded house should greet the gecond amateur fight card at ,the Stanley Arena Friday night. With Barbara, LaBella, Johnny Byra, Dominick Friskki and others on the program, there should e plenty of fireworks. . POOR CONDITION CAUSE OF FOOTBALL INJURIES Veteran Trainer at Princeton and Michigan Blames Easing Up for Many Mishaps. Princeton, N. J., Dec. 5 (A—Poor physical condition and easing up ars the cases of most serious foothall injurles according to Keene Fitz ypatrick, veteran trainer of Princeton and Michigan football players. For yroperly trained men foothall is not a dangerous game, he believes, ane most fatal injuries can be traced Tack to the fact that the men play- ©d when they were not in shape to stand the hard knocks, Discussing the many foothau fatalities this season, Fitzpatrien said the greatest cause of accidents was due to starting scrimmage tou early in the season, before the play- ers were ready for the battering. The gfher time when accidents are common, according fo a unigns| theory he holds, is just before the hig games when players go throug | scrimmages but try to save them- selves as much as possible. “A man who tries to save himser 48 much easier to hurt than one who §s putting everything he has into the contest,” Fitzpatrick said. A rig:a physical examination before a man is allowed to play football is another important precaution, he added, and 's especially necessary for higa &chool players. The latest available figures show the annual ol production to he: Vinited States, 758.000,000 barrels; Mexico. 115,000,000; Russia. 52.000,- 060: Persia, 35,000,000, and Dutch Fast Indies, 21,500,000, WITH THE BOWLERS ROGERS ALLEYS STANLEY RULE NEN'S LEAGUE sew Nets 94— 260 86— 300 Burkarth () R us Thorstenson 110 Knowles 106 3 s 601 §38—1679 101— 289 - H— 88— 88— 284 16— 313 s65—1711 93— 377 88— 261 87— 253 76— 255 95— 268 113 324 5511638 Sets Stotts Draper Morrison Burdick o Jacobson Moffatt ..

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1928, ELM CITY FIVE TO PLAY NEW BRITAIN SATURDAY Combination of New Havert Basketball Stars to At- tempt to Lower Colors of Hardware City Quintet— “Zeke” Chadys, Wexler and Alderman of Atlas Team On Roster—Manager Confident of Win Over Locals—Home Club Players All In Excellent Shape For Battle. Basketball teams in various sec- tions are casting their eyer towards New Britain where the local quintet has started on a whirlwind cam- paign of victories against opponents of all sorts. Saturday night, the Elm City Five, a newly organized combination of well known New Haven players, is coming to this city with one fixed idea and that is to defeat the Hardware City crew and inflict the first black mark on the present season's record. The visiting team will be featured by the presence in its lineup of three former atars of the Atlas A. C. quintet, one time New England championship club. “Zeke" Zhadys, the best known of the trio, will be captain’ of the outfit and his pres- ence alone will mean a bitter battle between him and Al Sloman. Al- derman, center on the team is a former Atlas player as is Wexler. The rest of the squad is made up of former college stars. Davin and Wexler formerly played with Arnold college in New Haven: Rozonski was with Pratt Institute; Norkas HORWEEN MAY REMAIN AS COACH AT HARVARD Football Mecator of Crimson Will Decide on New Offer on Re- turn’ From Honeymoon Chicago, Dec. § (M—Whether Arnold Horween will continue as head football coach at Harvard will be determined after the first of the year, when the former Crimson| player returns from his honeymoon. | Horween was married Thanksgiving Day. A new contract was offered Hor- ween after the Yale game and he is sald to be seriously considering | signing. With Horween undecided regard- ing his return to Harvard, football gossip has it that Jack Wilce, whose resignation as head coach at Ohio State takes effect In June, might TO GET ANOTHER CHANCE The Chicago White Sox are going to give Johnny Kerr, a second base- man drafted from Hollywood, a chance to play sccond base mnext summer. He was with Detroit several years ago. was a leader in industrial league ranks while Glick was mainstay of the Milford Prep. The team is fortified with a wealth of reserve material and New Britain is in_for a tough tussle. Leary of the Boys' Club, Kravitz, Howard, amateur boxing champion of the state, and several lesser known stars grace the reserve roster. All in all, the team stands as one of the lead- ing_basketball quintets in the state. This is its first year in competi- tion but because most of the players have played together ,for several seasons on various teams, the quin- tet is liable to surprise New Brit- ain, The local squad is in good condi- ti'n, according to latest reports. Johnny Sheehan who injured his knee last Seturday night, is fully re- covered. His mate Leary is in fine trim while Sloman, McElwain and Zekzewski ufe ready for a good bat- tle. The contest will be played at the Stanley Arer- on Church street and will be started promptly at 9 o'clock.

In fact, Warner rates the Army redhead as the best backfield player he has seen on either side of the continent. “My teams now have played against both Cagle and Chuck Car- roll, the University of Washington backfield star,”” ruminated the old fox of the coaching game. “They're a couple of great players, no mis- take. “Carroll is bigger and heavier, but Cagle is niftier. Carroll is a great straight-ahead runner and Cagle is probably better in a broken field. The Washington player is the kind that never loses ground. You can al- ways count on him to make a gain of some kind, but probably Cagle could do the same under similar takes more chances. “Which would I rather have on my team?” ‘Pop” puffed thoughtfully for a moment and then replied, “Well, I guess 1'd take Cagle.” The Stanford coach expressed & shrewd opinivn on a spectacular feat performed twice by Cagle in the course of the Stanford game. Prob- ably most of the spectators believed “Red"” was acting extemporaneously when after starting around his left end and finding a wall of Stanford men sweeping in on him he turned, ran far back and across the field, and threw a long pass on the dead run. Pop believes it was a “planned pla “I think so, for one thing, because it happened twice,” he said. “and both times there were three Army men waiting where that pass was going. If the play had been supposed to be a run around the left end what would they ba doing down in the right hand corner of the field?" Of the quality of football played in various parts of the country Pop has no prejudice in favor of the far west although many of the experts are giving that territory the call ow- ing to Stanford's conquest of the Army and the Oregon Aggies' vie- tory over New York University. “There are good teams in the south, the middle west and other parts of the country,” he said. “The east may be a bit conservative still, partly because of bad weather which makes it hard to use tricky plays invelving much handling of the ball, hut there are plenty of strong teams here too.” Warner thinks the football rules By AHERN —_— ATS as now constituted are “good enough.” although he is favorably inclined toward a proposal advanced in some quarters that the scoring system be changed so that a point would be given for each first down. He thinks this would make the bet- ter team win more often than is now the cage with long runs for touch- downs on fumbles or forward pass- es common. POTTS GAINS STRENGTH FOR GRIDIRON CAPTAINCY Al Middicton Appears to be Out of the Running as Leader of Eleven. At the present writing it appears as if Al Middleton Is out of g run- ning for the captaincy of next year's New Britain High school foothall team and that Joseph Potts is gain- ing in strength. The principal oppo- sition will come from Joseph Bog- e — ] | danski, right end, members of the | squad predict. Potts 1s a member of the Delta Xi fraternity, and Bogdanski was a former member of the Alpha Kappa Lambda traternity, of which boys of Polish «extraction are members, Whether his fraternity will support | him or throw their votes to Potts or other candidates is a question. Billy Ross, a member of the Theta Sigma fraternity. is expected to receive some support and Middleton may be given support. | Coach Cassidy will announce his :’lisl of lettermen soon.
