Speaking of Sports [ We predict that Jack Kennecy of Hartford, barring injuries in the | future years, will be heard from | plenty from college football circles | it he continues attending school in | the future years. He was a threat | in his high achool days to any op- posing team but he has developed fast and, as a member of the Ver- mont Academy eleven, he has reached the stage of star aumong | preparatory &chool players. We understand that efforts are | being made to have him attend West Point. Should he go there, we predict that the football authoritics will be able to use him during his | stay. { | now Although the opposition given tl visiting team by New Britain y terday wasn't any too tough them, the Vermont squad showed | plenty of stuff.
